I used Nomee a few months back, but like you said, the disadvantage is it's only useful when your friends are using the application aswell. I couldn't even persuade most of my friends to use Twitter let alone Nomee. Their Facebook application also doesn't do much, just embeds an image of your card.

Initially I was very excited about this until I found that you have to sort of refriend everyone. That totally defeats the purpose. So although this is a good looking app and a job well done so far, it is missing a really key piece of functionality that I believe will prevent it from being widely adopted.
I believe SocialThing was so successful because they got this right. You give SocialThing your credentials for flickr and it knows and shows all of your flickr friends updates. Same for twitter, facebook, etc.

So, basically this doesn't make use of the social networking APIs and instead just tries to integrate contacts/friends into its own service? That doesn't sound good :( ...I even reinstalled adobe air just to try this out.

That's.. not it at all. It does use the APIs and imports them like an aggregate feed.
I think what jyoseph meant to refer to was the fact that nomee tries to work like a "business card", so individual profiles are created for individual people, instead of it importing entire friends lists from other sites.

This would be brilliant if you didn't have to get everyone you want to follow to download it too. I've been looking for something like this for a while.

well designed, an instant message service(collaborate with msn) + a status update to all the social media probably will heat this application up more

Mashable readers are also mind-readers! Everything you're asking for is in the works at nomee. We think it's important to keep making it easier to follow your friends with nomee. So please watch our blog and give us feedback as we add more features.
For those of you looking for something where you don't have to re-friend people, you should try http://friendbinder.com (which I work on) that just launched this month.
