I just started working with Xumii and as a part of it, we launched their blog this morning. Very exciting.
Why is it exciting?

Saw an invite for Social Median on Read/Write Web and thought I’d try it over morning coffee.
It’s basically a more social version of Digg combined to be a news reader. But it doesn’t build on my feeds, or didn’t seem to, and didn’t give me a hell of a lot more than other aggregators. [...]

Quick review tonight of Socialthing. It basically pulls in a lot of feeds (Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, Digg, Youtube, Delicious) and let’s you interact as much as possible.

Just noticed this when Super Wall tried again (in vain) to be added by me. Not a chance!
