Do you ever feel like you are being hit by too much information online? Personally, having some sort of blog presence over the last 7 years you definitely start spreading your oats all over the internet. Especially with sites like flickr, del.icio.us, and twitter, to name a few. Micro blogging and regular blogging seems to be throwing content at your from all sides.

Awhile back, someone asked me, how I go about reading blogs. I told them that I didn’t use a feed reader and that I don’t really read many blog anymore, at least not on a regular daily basis like I used to. It’s especially hard now when I can read the content of any given friend on 5 or 6 different services. Talk about being disjointed. I think I finally found a way to keep things together all in one place. It’s this new site called Onaswarm. It was created by a friend of mine and fellow Torcamper, David Janes. Bascially, it allows you to share all your different feeds from different services all in one place. It also allows you to follow your friends in a similiar manner.

Sure it sounds like another social network, but I think it’s more than that. It’s more like online content management.

One of the highlights for me is being able to watch the ins and outs from a variety of people in the Toronto community, all in one place. I can watch them blog and twitter and flickr without jumping from site to site. Call me lazy, but I don’t really have much time to be everywhere online at once, even with tabbed browsing. The main idea here is that people can create a Lifestream, which is a feed of all your feeds.

If you wanna give Onaswarm Beta a try, ping me. I think I have some invites.

Thanks Rannie! He adds:

UPDATE: I must add, that I wrote the post in hopes of winning an iPod Touch. That being said, I really do think there is a lot of potential with using onaswarm

And you out there trying to read this should be trying to win our iPod on Monday also. Just start here.
