On Saturday, I prematurely announced Social Median’s integration of Google Reader shares into the social news discovery service. Turns out my account had been hard-wired as one of the initial users testing new features aimed to make the site ingest even more information and making it a more essential part of my daily activity. Today, Social Median filled in the rest of the puzzle, by adding support for data not just from Google Reader shares, but also Twitter , Digg , Delicious and FriendFeed . Additionally, Social Median rolled out tools for bloggers to highlight their activity on the site from their own blogs, and a number of ways to find the most popular and active content. The result? A more robust site, aimed to move beyond "lifestreaming" and more to "news streaming".

Image via Wikipedia It is not often that you see something that actually worked out the way that it should work out, but in looking at the last article, Social Median actually did something right. Well besides embargoing their new election widget news on Saturday and letting me know it existed, they followed up this morning with a quick release to let me know that it had gone live.

Apple Computer’s Steve Jobs famously said, in 2004 , that he felt "you watch television to turn your brain off" and use the computer "to turn your brain on". In the ensuing years, however, Apple has marched directly into your living room, with the Apple TV , and the company’s digital devices are making the partnership between your computing side and your television-watching side better and stronger. A new iPhone application from i.TV debuts today, letting iPhone and iPod Touch ... more
Part Seven In a Monthly Series Sometimes the best blogging is going on well away from the most visible places. Since March, I’ve taken the beginning of each month to showcase some bloggers that are writing some solid content in their corner of the blogosphere. They may not post as frequently as some of us do, and they certainly don’t have the readership they deserve. Just maybe, with this little boost, it can give them the encouragement they need to keep going, and get more proli... more
In a perfect blogging world, the very best writers with the very best content would get the most visitors, page views and subscribers. Every visitor would leave comments, send the links to friends, click through ads, and engage in thoughtful dialog with the author. And authors would be more than happy to pass along credit to other blogs for finding stories early, link to lesser-known voices, and admit when they got things wrong. But, alas, this theoretical utopia doesn’t exist, and as a r... more
By Rob Diana of Regular Geek ( Twitter / FriendFeed ) The one problem I had been having with SocialMedian was the need to manually "clip" stories that I find interesting on the internet. Many social news sites, i.e. Digg , Mixx , etc., use this model with great results.
