POPSInteresting take on open social networks/Friendfeed/etc. via @krynsky I was waiting for @krynsky's perspective on this; I suspected it would be reasoned and balanced and it is. This nugget from a pre-Facebook Paul Bucheit interview that I amplify'd jumped off the page and after reading it, I immediately had the same reaction that Mark did. If your a fan of the Lifestreaming blog (you should be if you're not) here's a bonus quote probably worth amplifying on its own - Mark's macro view in a nutshell: "I think having a system that allows us to tie together multiple web services we pick from a menu to post content in an aggregated fashion and tie in friends across these services in a seamless way is the end game." Check out the full post at the source...good read.

POPSVisual proof that Andy Warhol invented @Twitter and Lifestreaming. Yep. He invented it all...years ago. Everything. Twitter, lifestreaming, podcasting, you name it. What's more, he even had the foresight to use the very tweet Twitter naysayers love to quote "Hey, I'm eating a hamburger." Don't believe me, see for yourself at the 4:20 mark. Incredible...

POPSWhat kind of twitterer are you anyway? 6 Types... Be honest and take a look at what best fits your twittering type. I would have to say I am at times the Brand and at times the Maven. Occasionally, I branch out into the Mensch...that's me. What about you? Twitter us @thirstyfishinfo or leave a comment.

POPSLike Convergence, Aggregation Is Better In Theory an interesting take, see what Louis Gray says at the end:" I have to believe that aggregation tools are interesting, and useful to a small minority of people. Lifestreaming tools are fun for individuals to highlight their activity. Sites are out there that do a good job, and more are coming, but I am thinking that "aggregation" is the new "convergence". It looks great on paper, and some people will carry a Swiss Army Knife with them everywhere, but most won't.

POPSLifestreaming sites can organize Web lives
Friendfeed can gather updates from dozens of social Web sites, making it simple to arrange all my Twitter posts, Gmail Chat status updates and other online tidbits in one profile. Profilactic: People looking to funnel the most social Web content onto one site may like Profilactic. The site can tap into almost 200 social media sites, which run the gamut from social review site Yelp to ones I had never heard of, such as TwitPic, which lets you share images on Twitter. Users can also add feeds from other sites. Swurl: Though it can't gather information from as many sites as FriendFeed or Profilactic, Swurl's looks set it apart. The site was my favorite in part because of its very clever "Timeline" feature, which let me see all my online activities on one page, organized into a calendar-like grid. I could then click each square of the grid to see details, like the full text of a review of a bar I wrote on Yelp, or larger versions of photos I had uploaded to Flickr
