Been playing with @miio today. Not sure I like it as much as @amplifytheweb

Someone suggested I try out Miio today. It’s another social site where I can learn what is on other people’s minds. I am liking it, but not as much as Amplify.

The team is just as involved with the community as the Amplify team is, which is quickly becoming one of my “site measurements”. They have worked hard to create a site where people can share information. One interface related thing I do like about them is that the content stream will run while you are on the page. You can pause it to read something, and then let it run on while you browse. I like that.

I think that there is a lot they can learn from Amplify. There isn’t an easy way to find the other people who are in your network and already using the site. If you have more than one thing on the dashboard that needs your attention, it can be hard to get to the specific items – they clear all notifications when you read one.

I am hoping that at some point they develop an API so that Amplify’d content can be shared there easily.

In general, I think that miio is a place I will dabble in as compared to Amplify which will remain my place of residence.
