Subscribing to all of your friends' RSS feeds can be completely overwhelming. A service like ours allows a user to see everything on all of their networks without being overwhelming, and beyond that, some services like Facebook don't have RSS feeds for their photos and things like that. Now, speaking to what else we're going to do there's a whole lot on the roadmap but quite a few things here in just the next few weeks. Personal profiles is one, for sure...beyond that, one thing we're really excited about is Friend Discovery, basically a feature that compares your social graphs and figures out where you're "missing connections" ...IE you're friends with someone on Facebook but not on Flickr...we know that and we can provide you an easy way to connect those back up. We'll also have easy ways for you to interact with the data - replying to Twitter posts, commenting on Flickr photos, Digging stories from our interface, etc. The idea is that we become your digital life manager...a series of tools that makes it easy to keep up with and interact with what's going on in your entire social network from one place. Hope you enjoy the beta...anyone else that wants an invite, shoot me an email to beta@socialthing.com and mention you came from EverydayUX. Thanks!
