Share, Discover and Discuss using #SMBF Sponsor Cliqset

Cliqset is an online community that makes it easy for people to share, discover and discuss content with friends from around the Web. The latest beta of Cliqset features a completely redesigned user interface and real-time conversations and activity streams that make it easier for users to stay engaged and follow the discussions that they find most interesting.

Cliqset is also making available a full-featured Adobe AIR desktop client that brings users’ Cliqset conversations to their desktop to manage social activity and conversations with an easy-to-navigate streaming UI. The application includes all the functionality from the website version, but delivered straight to a user’s desktop. The Cliqset desktop client is available for download at http://www.cliqset.com.

On Cliqset, users now have options for communicating and sharing online activities (like photos, location aware updates, bookmarks) with their friends and online communities, while also being able to track and update all of their third-party social networks and services from one centralized hub. Cliqset now integrates with nearly 70 social networks and services.

As the nature of conversations on the Web has been dramatically changing to mirror those in real life, Cliqset is about conversations, however they unfold. Cliqset online and Cliqset desktop client give users the ability to:

• Quickly engage and discuss: Discussions and commenting are now all in real-time — unique from most social networks and services currently on the Web — giving users a better way to communicate and stay engaged in the discussion as it unfolds.
• Pull in content from almost 70 social networks and services: Cliqset supports integrations with the most popular third-party services so users can easily pull their content into Cliqset (photos, status updates, videos, blog posts, etc.) from other social networks.
• Share content with other social networks and services, including Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Identi.ca, Linkedin and FriendFeed: Users can update their status, and share photos, bookmarks, and reviews on Cliqset and push them out to wherever they choose. And users can now share content that they discover on Cliqset with other social services they’ve enabled.
• Discover content and people by staying on top of specific topics with Cliqset’s granular activity stream filters: Users can select which types of updates they’d like to see in their activity stream including text, photo, comment or blog post. Updates that include photo files or location details now show a thumbnail so that users can easily see the content without having to explore further.
• Control more effectively how people can see and interact with information that users share.
