People search site MyLife has purchased the technology from recently shuttered all-in-one social communications manager Threadsy. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
As we’ve written in the past, MyLife is a full-fledged search engine which not only finds people—thanks to aggregated search across social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and MySpace—but also helps visitors connect with them all on the same site.

Users will be now be able to create a ‘social inbox’ on MyLife that combines email and direct messaging from all social networks, and Photo and audio sharing. MyLife is also announcing a new iPhone app today, which allows users to access social network communications from Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and soon, Google+.
