Todd: Yes I agree. I think streaming all the different social bits into one is the way to go. It's interesting that facebook has just opened up it's applications API to anyone. You can plugin an app to import your twitter information, show your latest blog posts, or rate a movie. Quite interesting. While the site itself may peak, by adding applications that anyone can develop preserves the interest. Perhaps they saw MySpace close out 3rd party apps and learnt the lesson. Maybe facebook will live a lot longer because of this.
Has anyone heard of http://www.tumblr.com? A similar idea. Import delicious feeds, twitter, rss and write micro blogs.
