That’s because I believe the aggregation discussion/feature is not what is interesting or relevant to the human condition.....it's filtering and prioritization. Even unpopular people on Facebook have 100's of friends....the famous "Dunbar #" (from anthropology/social sciences) says that our brains are not equipped to track the details of more than 147 people....for this reason (disrupted trust models) early hunter-gatherer tribes split apart at this number. What we really need is a technology that acts like a very intuitive/observant "Executive Assistant", who learns about the people/agenda's that are most important in our lives. It then uses this knowledge to promotes the right things to my attention, and shuffles the rest off to the junk folder. The same is true with one social site or 20---aggregation has nothing to do with it---the real issue is using (implicit and explicit) knowledge of agenda, context and social-tie-strength to prioritize and filter without bothering the user with the details. Thanks for helping us shift focus to the much more relevant conversation. Dewey Robin,

Sign of an engaging post. From the book, Blue Ocean Strategy, the best social network aggregator will create new market space or a blue ocean. Moving from the 'red ocean of bloody competition', think Nintendo wii for gaming industry or Cirque du Soleil for circus. Meanwhile I enjoy the competition, provides me a rich source for blog and presentations as you did with this excellent article. Well done, you garnered a lot of comments. Sign of an engaging post.

Google has shown everyone the importance and relevance of Web Links. But so far apart from Facebook and Twitter no one else has shown those same values in aggregating your Social Networks, along those lines. There is a tremendous opportunity out there for the next 'Big Thing', by a Company that can Aggregate all elements of the Web for anyone that uses it, with a viable business model. I am currently developing a project that explores all of these avenues and much much more. Social Networking Aggregators are The New Cheese. But an Aggregated Platform can truly Milk the next Big Cash Cow? Isn’t Aggregating a bit similar to Links?
