I’m a fan of the new crop of web applications that seem to be sprouting up daily. Although there is seamingly hundreds of sites out there, it seems that few enhance quality of life. If I’m mistaken tell me. I like and use flickr, del.icio.us, upcoming, digg, et all—using the same user name ‘freality’ as here (check if you’d like).
My issue is that all these apps add to the load of life. I check-in, lurk, and post when time permits, but the dedication it takes to be a full-time member is daunting.
I’d like a web app that takes advantage of the web 2.0 credo of open information and consolidates all the information from these various sources and gives me a concise digest of everything happening in my virtual lil’ world. RSS is okay but it doesn’t combine my interests in a sofisticated way. I’d be presented with a compilation of information based on all my sites formed in a way that something more valuble is achived.
Example: this goal of learning ruby/ajax from 43things coupled with recent webdesign toutorials via digg or blinklist and web group meetings posted on upcoming. What about adding spurl, furl, or delicious bookmarks or inspiring photo from flickr. I think an application like this would be great.
If it currently exists, tell me. If not, I’m working on learning about webdev to remedy this void.
