My friend Robbie recently blogged about his annoyance at people aggregating their blog posts with their del.icio.us links and other stuff. He then came across onaswarm a new service in beta which aggregates your feeds from flickr, del.icio.us twitter… wherever you have a feed really, and brings that all together in one. Wow. I hear you say. Wow. But this is really cool as it allows you to aggregate not only your feeds, but those of your friends (or a select few depending on your preference).

In a way, the appeal of this lifestream tool is not entirely dissimilar to that of twitter - bite-sized updates on your friends, now with extra stuff in the mix. Interesting how many people think of the same thing at the same time. I wonder how many other funky uber-aggregators are/were in the pipeline. Exciting times as developers continue to hack down the marketing bubble-crap which has surrounded your sources of interesting stuff/info.
