socialthing! is billing itself as a digital life manager (aka social aggregator) and will be opening to the public in March.

From the socialthing! blog

One thing that we’ve learned is that our product is really solving a problem for some people, and the direction of our app seems to be veering every day more into the realm of what we call a “digital life manager”. For me, when we integrated Vimeo and Pownce, and I was immediately able to tap into those friends’ activities that have been going on there without me, I finally started interacting. I’ve been all but absent from quite a few services, but only because it was hard to keep up with the litany of sites I was on as it was. Now, I’ve got a few of my social networks integrated into my Socialthing! Lifestream and am now able to keep up with it all. As soon as we finish our “interaction” with those networks, it’s going to get a lot more interesting. I’m already able to reply to Tweets from the interface, and soon I’ll be able to Digg stories, comment on Flickr photos and a ton more.

We’ve been in beta now for about over month and it’s going so well. We’re getting tons of compliments, advice, and of course, bugs. We’ve been cranking day and night to really nail our vision, and I think it’s finally getting there. While not everyone that’s on our mailing list is in the beta yet, we’ve got quite a few people trying it out and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. There’s a learning experience, obviously, that comes along with opening up a beta…and we’re definitely in the middle of that learning experience right now.

From what I can find on socialthing!, it seems very interesting. I hope to get a invitation soon to give the service a workout (hint to the socialthing folks). Details are a bit sketchy at the moment but it does look very cool. Hopefully cool will translate into easy to use and full featured.

If anyone reading this has had any experience with socialthing, I would love to hear about it. You can email me (contact link) or leave a comment on this post.
