As Social Networks are springing up like mushrooms the first Social Network aggregators do. The last one was lifestream.fm and they say on their Homepage that:
"Lifesteam is a media and services aggregator that will keep you and your friends informed about what you do online at a glance and realtime."
As I signed up for my account - no secure http provided so I thought twice which password to put here - a list of services popped up where you have to share your usernames on an unsecure page again. I entered my Picasa and Del.icio.us usernames and it worked immedeatly.
The services they actually support are:
Lets see how lifestream.fm evolves but I am afraid that many more of these aggregators will appear in the near future. I am guessing what Lifestreeam.fm's business model will be, as on their webpage there is any information about who is behind that brand.
That means for Marketing and Branding purposes so far nothing I can see but apparently a good service for the Social Network users.
The downside of Lifestream is that it provides information only and no interaction with your friends in each Social Network is possible. So just another additonal account, an additonal page and login needed. Maybe it is not the ultimate solution to make Social Networks users lifes easier.
