I fully recognize that not everyone participates in every single social network, which for me is yet another reason to aggregate all of my content across the sites here. It makes it easier to see what I’m highlighting elsewhere without requiring you to have a presence on each of those sites.

In addition, if many corporate firewalls prohibit social network content but users behind those firewalls can see my site, then I’m providing a service by aggregating that content here so that they can get to it, should they want to see it. And of course, they can get just the blog posts if they don’t want to see those other pieces.

So if you want to use “fail” like language, I still offering both options as a “win-win” situation. Take your pick for which one you prefer, but don’t knock the one you’re not interested in. One person’s “fail” is another person’s “FTW.” There’s room here for both sides, which is one of the things I like best about this approach.

If you’re interested in specific pieces of my lifestream, I’d recommend looking at FriendFeed stream and viewing the individual sites listed there (Google Reader, Delicious, Flickr, Twitter, etc.). From that, you might be able to tell which ones are most interesting to you, and then you could just follow or subscribe to those separately.

Does that help? Thanks for reading TSL
