We did an update to Onaswarm this morning:

• page loading should be much faster, especially after the first time you see a page. It's still not quite a fast as we would like, but we have a few more tricks up our sleeves that should speed it up that much more soon
• check out the Timeline page: a work in progress, but neato

We did a significant update to Onaswarm this morning:

• Everywhere where we used to refer to "feeds" we now refer to "social networks". We believe this may be a little more clear
• We've simplified the "friend" relationship (which is really more like the Twitter "follows" idea, so we may be changing that more soon) so you don't choose to "aggregate into my account". Rather, you'll see to the right links for "Calendar", "Lifeblog" and "Lifestream"; next to those is a "+ friends" links, which you can click on to show what your friends are up to
• We've made a number of database improvements that should make things a little faster

We did a small upgrade:

• the Calendar is now a list of events

We just did a quick update of Onaswarm:

• options such as "Join Onaswarm" are displayed only if you're not logged in and "Post" if you are logged in
• there are now three Presentation options for your account: Weblog (full body, but don't show imported items), Lifeblog (full body, all items) and Lifestream (everything in summary mode)

We made another quick update to Onaswarm last night:

• "What is what" on your page should be a little clearer -- we've added the time to every posting and a small mouseover effect
• We detect when you attempt to add duplicate feeds and silently deal with it

If all goes well, adding and updating posts should be super fast. We've also added a number of improvements to our feed loaders...

We've made a number of changes to our OpenID implementation:

• you cannot create more than one account with the same OpenID [1]
• when creating an account with an OpenID, "Create Account" becomes "Verify OpenID"
• after verifiying, the new login page clearly displays your OpenID and does not prompt for a password

[1] we are going to allow this in some future version; after login you can choose your account.

We did a major update to onaswarm this morning:

• existing users can invite people to join onaswarm
• all accounts have been set to display in "swarm/lifestream" mode all the time; this is the default that most users seem to want -- it can be changed in your preferences
• everyone's account is now basically a swarm -- your friends are aggregated into your account automatically
• we've removed a lot of unused stuff that was being downloaded
• we've stopped serving media files from onaswarm.com -- they're coming from S3 now
• quick profile - we walk you through the initial setup phases
• we've added a much better feed-add page: many feeds can be added by account name. we recognize
  • rss
  • ical
  • find
  • blogger
  • delicious
  • flickr
  • jaiku
  • lastfm
  • livejournal
  • magnolia
  • msnspaces
  • myspace
  • picasa
  • pownce
  • stumbleupon

  • vox

We're getting to the point where we're going to do official annoucements. If you're interested in an invitation, send an e-mail to onaswarm@onaswarm.com.

What's left to add? Well:

• OpenAuth for some services
• OpenID for identification
• Onaswarm Widgets

More on these later, but they're not critical path items by any means.
