While they both do a great job aggregating content you create, they're focused mainly on content you create within their services. Action Streams are much more about bringing more meaning, expression, and emotion to blogging via your actions from many different places on the web.

It's very cool for many reasons, one of which is that it can communicate across servers. So you can run your own, and can add friends from the hosted version, or from other servers. It also supports OpenID, but it's quite early in the development, so it got some quirks. Oh, and it's open source!

We're hoping to make this a much simpler process where the blogger ultimately has more control over the information they're sharing. While my site might not be the best example of combining Action Streams with a blog itself, both Phil Windley (http://www.windley.com/) and Byrne Reese (http://www.majordojo.com/) have taking different yet interesting approaches with the Action Streams plugin.
