Interesting sites you mentioned here, I do have to give kudos to Posterous which does have some great potential. Retaggr is another awesome startup that I have seen used quite often, haven’t checked out ch.imp will check that out, thanks!

Chi.mp is not an aggregator, it just happens to have the ability to pull in activity from other sources. The point, though, is to provide a home on the web that you actually own.

You authorize other Chi.mp users to see specific personas. If they don’t have an account, they just see your public persona.

As for FriendFeed, it looks like you’re saying it’s not sticky, which I find odd. Not only is there a constant stream of interesting stuff to look at (depending on who you bothered to subscribe to), but there are even boobs sometimes.

As far as duplicates, I don’t think there will ever be a way to prevent them on any service because we tend to share things in more than one place. Even from a user standpoint, there is no strategy that eliminates dups without hurting your reach.

Wow, this is one of the most to-the-point posts I’ve read in a while. Do you think Facebook might try to buy friendfeed since it seems out of luck with Twitter? Have to say not feeling the live updates on Facebook, but if they’re going to go in that direction, maybe it makes sense to get FF.

I posted this on Jolie’s blog along with a larger description of what Cliqset is (http://is.gd/s8Ed) but since the comments haven’t been imported I’m going to re-post:

Hi Jolie,

Thanks for the mention (any press is better than none at all) but Cliqset really doesn’t belong in this category. Cliqset is platform for creating social applications that share a common backend. We’re trying to create a new type of social eco-system where users have a single set of foundational social characteristics that applications and consume and reshape on the users behalf.

Aggregation and status push really isn’t what we’re about at all although we will likely support them to some degree in the future.
