If you want to aggregate and author all of your social media content from a single service, Lifestrea.ms may very well interest you.
Lifestrea.ms offers you a single solution for gathering all of your various online identities and publishing destinations into a single place.
Given that many of us use more than one, and in some cases a whole plethora of different services as we browse and publish to the web, the idea of being able to somehow bring all of this disparate content together for once comes as a very welcome promise.
Let’s say you use Twitter for short messages to friends, Flickr for photo-sharing, YouTube for uploading video, Google Reader for your RSS feeds, del.icio.us for social bookmarking, and on and on.

Lifestrea.ms - which is currently in private beta - provides you with a solution.
With Lifestrea.ms, which uses a whole host of open standards, you can import content from just about any social media destination on the web, gather it together into a single “life stream” and even publish new content to your various accounts without having to visit their respective websites.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Lifestrea.ms is packed with features, and I take a look at how they all fit together in this in-depth review.
