I wonder if you could add our online address book to your list above. We are a bit of a mash up but essentially we enable people to be found and contacted via a Google search and via our message gateway system - so people don’t have to reveal their contact details and the people messaging them don’t have to register. Not rocket science but fairly unique.

The service also enables people to show what networks they are on and any contact details they want to display. Our free people search engine searches social media, social networking and the general web to provide catagorised and filtered results for people.

I would like to suggest another web based RSS tool, which is a feed directory and a very easy-to-use RSS mixer / RSS merger :

Swiv RSS mixer

Many thanks for this list.

Thanks for dropping by…I have made a new heading “Clickstream”

Spelling correction: “Cluztr” not “Clutzr”

I personally wouldn’t classify Cluztr under “Nearly, Sort of, kinda”, since clickstream is a major element of one’s lifestream (or meta-id). I think it deserves far higher billing given easy of entry and comprehensiveness of the attention profile you can create. Cluztr also fully supports APML and is working to further its development as a standard.

Perhaps it would be better to classify such services under “Ways to create a Lifestream”…

Just some thoughts.

Maybe a lifestream has different branches
- stuff you publish/collect/comment
- your activity attention (that is how much you use these above services) and secondly other stuff like surfing habits

I hardly works to include 2 lifestream in one for LifeLine profiling… My way is :
- Main stream for our published content (while several month) ; blog, photos, favorites (with comment), videos, comments, etc.
- Tiny “Activities” stream (while last week only) with micro-blog, listen music, used app, favorites or votes (without comment), visited websites, etc.

I study how I could display tiny “Activities” stream into lifeline’s shoutbox (on top)… And include it into main stream feed as daily-digest-report.

Chris - good to see you here too. Viva APML and lifestreams!

Thrive,
K

Together we are building the Attention Economy where the user is in control!

That’s true, that’s why I included Clutzr and lifestream.

Maybe a lifestream has different branches
- stuff you publish/collect/comment
- your activity attention (that is how much you use these above services) and secondly other stuff like surfing habits

I see a lifestream as content I publish, comment and collect…I guess this displays basically what I pay attention to…if I blog, comment and bookmark it, this means this is what I pay attention to.

Another element is more about stats (attention trends or stats), how long and often do I spend on these sites.

Back to the attention stream…

so stuff I publish, comment, and collect is my attention/lifestream, this is very refined, but accurate.
You could add websites surfing as another attention element, but then again sites I surf may not mean I like them, I paid attention to a site and surfed to it to find out I did not like it.

Then you can make it social or a more round attention file by throwing in my RSS Reader OPML into the mix.

What are your thoughts Chris?

And as Alex Barnett ended up saying was, fine to collect attention, but where can we plug in and play.

I’d like to go to any repository of information and interrogate it with my attention file?

eg. go to a journal database, newspaper archive, bookmark service, video (like YouTube), etc…and plug in my attention file and wait for it to return me stuff I like…your results could be returned in a topic cluster cloud.

Sometimes you don’t want to have to use a search query, when all you want to do at a site is plug in and discover stuff you like.
