Streamy wants to be your one stop shop for news, community, and chat
Ever wish you could chuck out your RSS reader, instant messenger, bookmarks, and network of social networks? Streamy wants to replace all of those services with a single web page.
Streamy's in private beta right now, but it looks promising. It doesn't require you and all of your friends to sign up for a totally new service. Rather, like Meebo, it lets you communicate with friends using services like AOL Instant Messenger without leaving the web site.
But unless there's some pretty amazing keyboard shortcuts in there, it looks like Streamy requires a lot of mouse-work to read your news, which would make it much slower to navigate than Google Reader.

Hi,
Pretty cool idea. I don't know how feasible it would be.
I noticed that you commented on a problogger post about blog comments. I wanted to drop you a note and tell you about ClickComments. It engages the 95% of your readers that never comment. With one click they can comment. Easier commenting means you will get more commenters. Try it out.

heh... seems like one of these pseudo-web 2.0 sites, sorta like the new hotmail interface.

Another social news startup, all right!
