new "life stream" aggregation site - onaswarm.com

I recently discovered onaswarm (via Danny Ayers via PlanetRDF) and decided to send in a beta request. I have been trying various tools to do this sort of thing, heck I’ve tried to write (well, started to write is more like it) and often just ran into time and or resource issues, so I was excited to see this new site. I’ve wandered around the site only a little bit so far and it’s been solid, but I haven’t really tried to break or abuse it yet :) Some high points I’ve noticed already: it supports OpenID, has a kick-ass “find your feeds” page where you enter in four different account id’s and it tries to locate them in it’s list of supported sites. It managed to find all of the major sites I use currently. But the one feature I really like is one I found out only after reading the blog page - it’s written in Python!

Going to pay more attention to this and give it a workout.
