Nowadays you check your mail on Gmail or Yahoo (or maybe even both), and then you look for your updates on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and also LinkedIn. There are so many websites that sometimes everything can get a little bit overwhelming.

The Mylife Social App and Dashboard comes to aid the users that use multiple social networks so that they can do everything in a single place. Mylife CEO Jeff Tinsley said that the demand is very clear and that it's an idea whose time has really come.

The new site is a rather simplified dashboard where you can see all your messages, updates or events that you would have seen if you checked every site individually: your email, all the posts from the Facebook news feed and everything Twitter-related to you. It also lets you share content on a specific platform or on all of them, if that is what you want.

The MyLife Social App and Dashboard is based on the technology from Threadsy, which is an integrated communication client that helps combine both your email and your social networking sites in a single place. Threadsy was bought by the company at the beginning of the year, costing the company lots of millions of dollars. They also invested $25 million on an advertising campaign that will help people explain why and how much they need a single site where they can manage their virtual social life.

The MyLife Dashboard will have a similar freemium model like LinkedIn, where users will be able to combine their Gmail, Yahoo, AOL and Hotmail accounts as well as their Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn social profiles. In the future there will also be support for Outlook, but nobody knows exactly when that is going to happen. Mr. Tinsley also declared that both the Android and the iOS apps have been updated to the new site, called MyLife 2.0.

Launched in 2002 as Reunion.com, Mylife currently has around 60 million registered users. Mr. Tinsley also said that this is only a small step toward helping people connect more easily with their friends, family and co-workers.

Mylife's goal is to help people get more out of their relationships at any given time. For example, with the help of the new site, you now have a better chance to find former co-workers or long lost relatives more easily.
