You are what search reveals about you. If it doesn’t show up in a Search Engine it probably won’t get very much traction. Reality online is very fractured right now, people have so many different points of presence it causes motion sickness trying to update them all. Cross posting solves the problem of updating multiple content streams, but how do you respond to comments and feedback from each stream without checking them all?

All of these are very valid questions i wish i had nice simple answers for you. What we need is a dashboard. A Social Dashboard that takes your content streams, weighs them as you see fit and provides feedback from each channel in one interface. Why weighted content? My twitter stream contains all manner of inane comments, i still want people to know where to find me if they would like to converse there, but in the grand scheme of things my twitter content on any normal day would snow a regular blog post under by their shear volume. This is a problem, and ultimately why platforms such as friendfeed and plaxo fail to hold my attention.

Unlike most posts where i propose an answer i don’t have one for you here, i don’t even have a place to start, but the first step in solving a problem is to bring it into the harsh light of day. Quite simply i can’t follow everyone, update everything and maintain my sanity without loosing focus on the good content out there.
