Yahoo oneConnect aims to draw together your social connections

February 29, 2008

…and allow you to keep in touch with what’s happening across all of your different social networks – via your mobile phone. Really interesting – I just hope they have web integration as well as it would be nice to familiarise with a single aggregation service across multiple platforms.

I’ve recently been questioning RSS as a channel for absorbing the ‘noise’ of different networks. For me, I’d like to separate out my social interaction (which I see as an ongoing social dialogue) from my day-to-day feed consumption. It just feels too cluttered.

And one other thing I’ve noticed is the value of a good email newsletter. Lo-tech, huh??! I subscribe to the daily Urban Junkies newsletter, and it’s a really well crafted piece of content that points me at some of the best things that’re going on in London. If I had the RSS feed it probably wouldn’t keep so much of my attention – which makes me think that the increased relevance and personalisation of content is key for many of the different ‘trusted voice’ web services that are out there at the moment.
