It’s a simple application, just like Twitter, but only allows for interaction via the Web, at the moment. No IM, phone or AIR app support… from what I can tell.

There are a few “call outs” on the site as to who and what is powering things… Betaworks, Switchabit, and Summize are linked at various places around the interface, and they even have a neat little birdie graphic on the site (stolen and shown on the right)

The premise is simple. There are social network elements to it, nothing too extensive… but I’ll be going back for more as the week goes on, that’s for sure. I mean, it’s not “the best site in the world”, but it certainly ended up in my bookmarks list of random crap to visit when I’m just being killed by boredom.

Granted, the interface is a little “miss the boat” on awesome, but the end-result is most excellent. I don’t really have a need for it, as I have my LifeStream aggregated via MyBlogLog and I really don’t care much for filtering it, but… For those of you with a gagillion RSS Feeds to read every day? Want a nice way to interact with it? Check this out, it might make you happy in pants.

It’s pretty simple. Point the site at an RSS feed, create an “exclusion” list, and *WHAM!*, you’ll be given a new URL with the filtered feed. All you gotta do at that point is import it to your ____ or FriendFeed timeline and you’re set.

See? Thank me later for sharing these bits of awesome on the web with you, my friends. Things like this will change the way you browse, and since most of you are Internet junkies, that’s like… changing the way you live! Improve, even, if I do say so myself.

Windows Mobile people? Here’s your chance to have something no one else’s got!

I tossed the install onto my laptop, just to see what happened, and it’s a good way to share stuff quickly if you have multiple Windows devices, like a laptop, desktop & phone, you’re on the go, have enough friends in the same platform set up, or close to it, and y’all can get down with a new social network. I’ll personally stick with Pownce/Flickr etc for sharing random stuff, and Tumblr/Stumble for findings on the web.

It’s simple, really. Know that Twitter thing? Know that Amazon thing?

Yea, it’s those. Pretty sweet. Though I see this site leading to tons of impulse purchases for stuff I’d NEVER dream of buying. But that’s the wonders of the web.

Now? There’s a new look wrapping Qik.com and a new fancy pants slogan, “See what happens”. You got that right! With events like the Stanley Cup, Mars Lander, and “The Lunchtime Show” *cough* broadcasting, you can’t not watch Qik.

For you WinMobile people, did you see?

We are excited to announce the invitation-only Alpha release for our initial set of Windows Mobile devices - Samsung BlackJack and Motorola Q. Qik for Windows Mobile brings the same rich, interactive experience of Qik optimized for the Windows Mobile platform. - Qik.com

For you iPhone people, did you see?

Not to be outdone by Flixwagon, who announced their own iPhone video streaming service this morning, Qik sent us a video demonstration of their own upcoming product for doing exactly the same thing - Mashable.com

Here’s something new and exciting… What’s this? A map tab??? HMMMMMmmmm… If I get to start GeoTagging my videos, I’m going to be MOST excited. I’m not much into GeoTagging (yet), but now that the N95 is a lot faster on GPS? I’m pretty much all over it.

And there’s nothing like some AJAXy-Goodness to make your site more awesome than it once was, aye? They leverage JQUERY like it’s going out of style, and even more neato? Yea, it works pretty fast. Granted, my Firefox browser is CRYING at me right now, thanks to having 18 tabs (including SocialThing) up right now, and their site’s definitely not helping, that’s for sure. But it’s worth it.

1. Check out & Share Twitter updates
2. Check out & Share Pownce updates
3. Check out & Share Facebook stuff
4. Check out & Share Digg links
5. Check out & Share Flickr uploads

Also, de.licio.us, last.fm, vimeo and YouTube.

Now, for those of you with Jaiku, instead of Twitter or Pownce… well? For now, you’re out of luck. If you want to share your blog’s RSS? You’re going to have to go to FriendFeed… But maybe not forever. They have this awesome “Vote” tab/feature-thing within the site with a TON of services. I say, add’m all, tah heck with it. Well, except for other aggregating sites, like FriendFeed, MyBlogLog, etc - redundancy no es bueno! Even though it happens a LOT now-a-days.

Overall, the goodest bestest thing is, there aren’t any “friend” elements to the site, so you don’t have to track yet ANOTHER list of people you know on yet ANOTHER site. Good going SocialThing!

For the third time - the new features are smokin’ awesome bad assness. I’m going to have to pay attention a little more to SocialThing as they progress [pro-gress] and make progress [prah-gress].

From their Help page:

Download the Seero GPS Installer - here
Connect your GPS device (bluetooth or what have you)
Open your Seero GPS app, enter your credentials
(A little advanced) Input the COM port that the GPS device uses
Click “Check for Live GPS” in the Live Broadcast Section

Agreed: This should be a little easier to set up… but, this is friggin cool as shit. You can actually wander (if you set this up right) while you’re hiking, carting around, being driven around, etc - broadcast (if you have an “anywhere” Internet connection) - and have it track your location on their site… leaving a snail trail of icons while you spew your video to their site!

Yea… that’s pretty f**king sweet!

Though I can’t really imagine a time this would be a case for me, I’m sure it happens. As an added bonus, it keeps track of what you share, and puts it into an handy dandy RSS list for you to reference back on.

They’re a featured tool within the Shareaholic Firefox plug-in, which is how I came across’m. I probably won’t use it, but hey! You never know when something needs to be spammed to your friends.
