JP Rangaswami has been talking a lot about about the way loosely joined up tools and services like SMS, Twitter, TwittyTunes, tinyurl and the Facebook mini-feed can work together. About the way it can be annoying for other people (err, yeah.. sorry to the victims of my BlogFriends feed btw). He has a great way of talking about this emerging Web of Data.

We’re not dealing with firehoses any more. We’re dealing with capillaries, as I discussed in my post yesterday. And these capillaries carry and distribute information nutrients, and process and eject information waste and toxins. The real power of all this lies in the increasing transportability of context.

JP’s found a beautiful way to talk about the potential (and the potential downsides) of the services we use becoming fluid quicker than we can work out how to cope with them.

I played with a new one this evening: Seesmic. It’s a video conversation site, like Twitter but up close and personal. Currently in Alpha, but you can sign up for an invitation. It’s an important one and it’s worth trying out. Be prepared to lose some time.
