SocialThing! the New Social Thing

social_thing.jpg

At SXSW, SocialThing! is making its debut. SocialThing! is a social media aggregator of sorts which allows those who use social media sites such as Flickr, Twitter, Facebook and others to pull together all the individual information from those various sites into one site that presents the user with a merged stream. Changes and additions to the user’s individual sites can be made directly from SocialThing! which, ultimately, will work with the soon to be adopted OLAP protocol which allows a person to have one identity that can be used across multiple sites.

Of course, it’s mobile enabled and will soon have browser plug in capabilities as well as it’s own set of RSS feeds for users to do with what they please.

I’m 73 and the thing that keeps me up at night isn’t fear of dying—it’s the possibility that my children will clean out this house in a weekend and not understand that every drawer, every shelf, every pile they’ll throw away was a sentence in a conversation I was trying to have with them
