We reviewed MessageDance a few months back, when the site first launched its message-aggregating tools. While the service didn't seem fully able to present practical integration options for users at the time, I liked the underlying concept of MessageDance, as well as the potential for its application methods across a variety of web services.
[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]Today, MessageDance is announcing a few more new feature updates to its service that go along nicely with its recently added Twitter integration. For starters, there's a new portable YouTube Playlist. This lets you share videos with your friends across various networks, like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter. Updates can be displayed in your MessageDance widget, and it can be shared via email, or blasted to everyone, using the ever-handy "friends @ messagedance.com." Images have been added too, along with documents, all for sharing purposes, through MessageDance's expanding portal.
Will this approach work, or is this incorporating too many life-streaming tools into an existing third-party service? I imagine that such integration doesn't hurt. It looks to compete, on varying levels, with social browsing, micro-blogging tools, ShareThis options present on blogs and websites, Box.net, and even Yahoo's latest Life hub (which has yet to launch).
