I have been playing with the service since I got back to Edinburgh, and so far I love it. The concept has been around for a while (my own personal site has a similar idea, but just for my stuff) but I hadn’t come across a good site that was facilitating it until Socialthing! The idea is simple: a lifestream. A lifestream is a literally a stream showing your (online) life. This service takes the opposite approach to a personal lifestream, in that it shows you what all your contacts from the services you specify are doing. Socialthing! allows you to add your account details for main different sites (Twitter, Pownce, Facebook, Vimeo, Flickr and Livejournal currently) and track when your friends update their accounts. When you use a lot of social networks, and you have a lot of contacts, this helps immensely with (trying) to keep up with the deluge. They even have an iPhone version which is similar to the Facebook for iPhone [...] [...] While at SXSW I received an invite to Socialthing!

the point is not to get what works on your big desktop working on a phone but rather walk into Steve Jobs’ vision - that he is putting the UI of your mobile device in the hands of the software developer (and now web designer) - where it belongs! leave the hardware up to Apple and let the creative juices of all the s/w developers in the world come up with the perfect interface - one that is able to change with time as we all discover new ways to interact with each other!
