    Thx for the Prologue tip - that sounds promising. I wish everybody would blog, but we'll never even see 1/100 doing so. However almost everybody will do some form of messaging like IM or Twitter or Facebook or any of the thousands of options, and we need a way to converge that data into coherent forms that are not constrained by applications.

    I saw an interesting product called TweetDeck (no affiliation with me, and I just saw someone using it, I never used it) that basically aims to let you group friends in whatever way you want, and builds a little searchable database on your computer of those tweets. Facebook also has some level of filtering, but I think it's terrible - it seems no matter what I tell it it is totally random.

    I do like having different networks (just as we have different groups we interact with IRL), but I dislike having to log in everywhere. I don't know what a good solution is, but I'd like to be able to log into one place and manage all my networks. I tried FriendFeed out, it wasn't quite what I was looking for in that regard.

    Well, I figure everyone has at least one or two interesting things to
    say :-) There just need to be more ways for people to say them and
    have others hear them. And more ways of tying those different ways
    together.
