The attraction of twitter is a loose connection between people, that you can easily "Follow" others and be "Followed" by others. You may want to try it out to see how it feels to be followed or to follow some one else. In twitter, all information is generally open to public with an option to limit the access to only those who are following you. This coarse choice of options for information disclosure is good for many situations, but it can become a sensitive issue sometimes. In Ripplex, you can solve this problem with its fine granularity information disclosure settings.

Scene1: Auto Import twitter/Skype friends

If you use twitter or Skype, Ripplex will synchronize with these services automatically. (Please allow the connection from Ripplex in Skype setting.)

Scene2: twitter and Skype friends appear

Ripplex automatically imports twitter/Skype friends’ list (twitter Following and Skype contact lists).

Scene 3: twitter and Skype messages appear as well!

You can see twitter messages and Skype mood messages as well.

Scene 4: Merge profiles for same friend

You can merge profiles for same friend, for example automatically imported Skype ID and twitter username cold belong to same friend. Ripplex even suggests similar profiles that may be good to merge based on similarities in two profiles.

Scene 5: Link and show information to each other

As soon as your twitter friend (your "Follower" and "Following") starts using Ripplex, Ripplex finds the friend and notifies you that you can link with that friend. Once you link, you can show information to each other. In the example here, You (Lisa111) and twitter friend (julie707) got linked in Ripplex, and she disclosed email address, MySpace and Skype.

Scene 6: Friend's disclosed information appears!

You can view the information disclosed by your linked friends as an icon list.

Scene 7: Only clicking an icon...

When you want to communicate with your friend outside twitter, you just click the corresponding icon. In this example,MySpace is chosen.

Scene 8: Browse MySpace page of a friend

With a click, you can send email, chat and talk in Skype, browse MySpace or Facebook pages. Staying in touch with friends becomes very easy and your use of various communication channels expand. Here, you are reading MySpace page of your twitter friend julie707.
