Minixr is a new Microblogging and lifestreaming platform launched from Algeria.
The service enables users to post and share their status updates, links, different types of files (videos, photos, audio) and events with their friends through the website.
Basic social networking features, enabling users to find and follow their friends, building their own personal network on the service are of course integrated.
On the other hand Minixr also offers the ability to automatically pull user activity on a number of other websites (Digg, Last.fm, Delicious, Flickr, YouTube, …etc) and centralize them on the user’s timeline for all followers to see.
If compared to international services, Minixr looks pretty much like a mix of Pownce and FriendFeed.
Minixr also offers users the possibility to send status updates through their mobile phones, or through IM (Google Talk, Jabber, AIM).
The service mainly targets young adults, between the ages of 20-35, from Francophone countries and the Middle East. The revenue model is planned to be solely advertising based.
The service is currently in Beta, with the official launch slated for sometime in January 2009.
The interface is pretty simple and uses pretty much the same format as other microblogging services out there. It is available in French only at the time being, but other languages will be added soon.
