Android Gets Social Mixing With Asurion Mobile Addressbook

communication_historySocial networking is huge, no doubt about that. Palm ratcheted up the ability to network socially with Synergy, by pulling various networks together into a seamless heap of contacts for Pre owners. Motorola recognized this usefulness and carried it a step further with its new MotoBLUR technology. Both Synergy and MotoBLUR bring the phone owner’s Facebook, MySpace, email, Twitter and other networks together into one big social networking pot. The user can follow all their peeps in one place, all with push notifications to make sure nothing vital is missed.

A new program has launched today that attempts to bring the same capability to the Android platform. The Asurion Mobile Addressbook carries the social mix further by combining all of the popular networks with IM and bringing it right into the address book on the Android phone. It uses filtering so the user can prevent information overload. And it’s built on an open framework so developers can add their own systems into the Mobile Addressbook, allowing for additional capability.

The program is free and there’s a long presentation about Mobile Addressbook that can be viewed to get a feel for everything the app can do. Note to Asurion — put up a video demo of the program in action, not a boring presentation.
