A quick preview of socialthing

socialthing.com

I finally received an invite to socialthing last week and went through the new lifestreaming service over the weekend. The service is currently invitation only, however you can request an invite by visiting the website. Currently the service only utilizes Firefox to access and use the service. However, I do not think it will be long before they support Internet Explorer and other web browsers.

The beta is limited currently to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, LiveJournal, Pownce and Vimeo services. Other services will be added as the beta nears end. They do have a voting system in place for members to vote on additional services and also they are taking suggestions for not listed services.

Setting up services is simple and straightforward. One thing I would like to see though, is a "post" to window on the lifestream page (feeds) rather than on a separate tab.

socialthing currently doesn't have a lot of features available to users. However, what is visible does work rather nicely.

As they add services I will cover socialthing in a bit more detail.

God, how I wish for a socialthing invite, so as I can compare to friendfeed's offering. Socialthing's aesthetics appeal to me more, it looks easier to follow and more intuitive than a plain text stream of mish-mashing data.

I just want an AIR app for any of these services, if I'm honest. I want desktop notifications, please oh grace!!! :-)
