Discussions with two friends passionate with each product and this review have given me a good understanding of which to use and when. (and ‘when’ is the key word here)
Aggregating your social network – a list of services
Ah, a nice day browsing ideas on the Web, taking me forward and backwards.
I found this nice list (below) from last summer on a bunch of services (many I knew already) for helping users manage multiple social networks. These services do it in different ways, which is good, since it samples the possibility space for me.
Yeah, my head had been deep in this area for a long time and I’m now particularly interested in one facet of it (almost frantic about it).
Alas, the most I will be able to do is pass on the thinking to the Ovi.com team as I wrap things up (hopefully this week).
Link: 20 Ways To Aggregate Your Social Networking Profiles:
In an inspired blog post, Jason Kottke said that social networks aren’t helping us organize; since all of them require different credentials to log in, they’re just adding to the noise. He just might be up to something there. It’s getting harder and harder to remember all those logins, passwords, and most importantly to remember which of your friends are using what network.
Social network aggregators is a relatively new breed of applications which try to consolidate all your various social networking profiles into one, with varying success. Let’s check out 20 biggest competitors in this field.

[Heh, my first adventure in venturing and product management at Nokia was some music software for s60. Here’s a guy with a weird career path. Too.] “No, it’s not your typical resume. But Harmonix’s Greg LoPiccolo has certainly had a unique and …”
It’s not infoglut on my mind, but infoswim (or something like that)
After a deep conversation with my dad on semantic web stuff, he pointed me to a site (of some guys he works with) that had this quote (below, pulled from another site to give it more – context).
Link: Managing Information: Infoglut:
“Information overload is not a function of the volume of information out there,” he says. “It’s a gap between the volume of information and the tools we have to assimilate that information into useful knowledge.”
But, it is really not infoglut that is on my mind, but how we can revel in the glut, navigate it, annotate it, contribute to it, and extract knowledge from it to generate new knowledge.
A lot of thoughts on this in my backlog of posts. I hope I can get them up during my lifetime…
Ohhhh, Meksico. Sounds so hot, I just gotta go.

Ah, a new conference schedule
It’s a new year and I am looking at my Spring 2008 conference schedule.
This year I had no interest in CES or Macworld. I did want to go to Digital Lifestyle Day. But, again, I could not make it due to conflict and running out of travel days (watching myself).
I did find out today that I am more likely to hit other conferences, though now my _wife’s_ schedule is conflicting. Bugger.
I do think I can make LIFT and will bug Laurent as soon as I know. And I thought I could make World Mobile Congress, but may have to pass. Ugh.
Not the same shutout as last year, but not so different yet. Hm.
Link [from last year’s whining]: Lifeblog: There goes the conference schedule:
I wanted to go to CES.
I wanted to go to Macworld.
I wanted to go to DLD.
I wanted to go to LIFT.
But I can’t.
Long story.
