As the number of social networking sites starts to grow and users start to join more and more, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep up with friends on different sites and what they are doing.
Some sites have started to pop up which are 'feed aggregators' for social networking sites, much like RSS feed aggregators for blogs, etc (read: feedburner). One of these new sites, now in Beta, is called Socialthing!. TechCrunch had a great article about them this morning. Pretty cool concept, and looks like they've got the technology down. I'm curious to see what their next steps will be and if they can get a good seasoned executive team to try and take them to the next level. It will be interesting to see what VC firms (if any) will want to throw money their way. Friendfeed received $5m, versus their ~$500k, so things will be very interesting from here on out.
