An activity stream is a mash-up of an individual’s or organization’s feeds. For example, my FriendFeed pages show activity from this blog, the Internet Time Blog, my Flickr account, bookmarks I put on Delicious, and my entries from Twitter. Activity streams are going to be wildly important for social learning.

An aggregator enables me to create content with many different tools and in many different locations without the hassle of reposting links and what-not to my blogs. Dialog trumps monolog. I am considering following in Steve’s footsteps.

Now, the torrent of information generated by the ever increasing stream of new developments has rendered this impossible. Once I was a whiz with an excellent drawing tool; now I am a scribbler on six different drawing tools. Links take me to my blogs, tools, events, clocks, clubs, and communities. Coping mechanisms.
