Widgets? *check* SMS? *check* Flickr and Twitter integration? *check* Extensible, awesome features? *check* Clean, fast inteface? *check* — Zannel, a new online service that’s in beta (currently) has definately got it together. In the past two years there has been a nice influx of random one-off toys that a small handful of people use, but then there are sites that fit into that “holy crap! this is awesome” category… I’m going with, ‘This is one of them’.

I’ve only tooted the horn about BrightKite, I believe, in terms of web-toys that make Twitter rock. Well, this one might even make Twitter wince. Microblogging that supports Flickr, has micro-managable notification  options (including scheduling and so forth), includes fancy search features - with filters, has a Family Filter toggle, and … hell just take their tour.

From their about page - ZANNEL is about life in real time - a way for you and your friends to share what you’re doing, feeling, and seeing as it happens.

Yes! They love “now” just as much as the rest of us!
