Untangling social media’s Knots, Twine, Flakes and Waves
Is this the year of excessive networking?
- I came across yet another interesting way to pull together a social network from a thread of tweets. It’s called TweetKnot.
- Hard to not think of Twine, and what it stands for, huh?
- I had just signed up with PageFlakes, which has been around but I have to admit is a pretty good aggregator of many other tools such as Facebook, Twitter, email etc.
- And this week was awash with news of Google Wave.
Oh, my! Are we getting to the point where we may need an aggregator for our aggregation tools?
Got a minute? What are the criteria you use for trying out a new communication tool? Take a quick survey here.
I will report results of the survey here in a week here and on my blog. Thanks.

Angelo,
I just looked at Tweetknot, Twine, and PageFlakes and my head is spinning. I’ve got work to do, I don’t have time to sign up for one more thing. There’s got to be better social media aggregators on the way (perhaps Chrome) or all of this stuff is going to fall by the wayside just as fast as it came in. Working people don’t have time for this stuff.

I’m with Wendy on this one. I’ve been delisting myself from a few social networks that I haven’t used much at all, just to keep sane.

Great comments so far on the survey. Thanks. I wonder -maybe I should have asked this in the survey — how many people are taking Linda’s approach, and how many are not interested in the next shiny new object.
If you have not taken the survey yet, please do There are some great comments that will make a great post/discussion next week.
