Connecting the dots
Recently I’ve noticed the vast amount of sites collecting all sorts of information from other social networks. Three good examples are FriendFeed, SecondBrain and LifeStream.fm. There is however one thing that strikes me when I use these services and especially when I add my twitter account: Why don’t they connect the dots?
Every time I’m done adding my services I start to think: “what now”. I have no idea how to find my friends and I don’t want to use the “invite your friends services”. They hare here, I know it, I just don know exactly where! They could easily find my friends on twitter and then connect it to accounts at them who are associated to my friends twitter accounts. This way I would already have some of my social network ready when I’m done adding my services.
There could be services that do this already. Since, it shouldn’t really be any rocket science; they just haven’t gotten my attention yet.
