this is kind of what i wanted

streaming, like a streamI signed up for another service. (wait for shocked looks to fade)

It's lifestream.fm, and so far I like it. This started from mentioning that I was posting to about 10 different places - I actually got one reply, and she mentioned that she used this service. The idea is what I wanted to do here, but a) haven't tried too hard, and b) haven't looked that much into it. For example, the following shows the last seven updates for my lifestream page - and there are definitely some duplicates from using ping.fm, but that's ok:

I like that I can see what I've been doing in all those places I post various types of content to (and hope I'm not spamming by doing so). Sure, it's not a really new idea, but it works and it's usable. What else are people using, and how do you keep track of what's going on?

It's called profilactic (for real), and it looks like it does both (I haven't played with it much yet). Check it out and let me know what you think.

Lifestream looks cool... it's like the best part of Facebook (the activity freed) but without the.. uh.. Facebook..ish.. other stuff.. anyway: I like it, but I think it would be better if Lifestream would push updates out to Twitter et al, instead of pulling them in and showing the same thing six times like you have up there. :)heh.. actually, now that I think about it, tumblr is already doing a pretty good job of aggregating all of my stuff, so I'm not sure I even need something like Lifestream :/
