The site relies on its users to generate [...]

The leading candidates FriendFeed AlertThingy SocialThing Each promises to pull in "streams" from sites such as Facebook , Twitter , etc. to give you one place to get all of the updates on your networks. Staying on top of the info isn't easy and my award goes to.... SocialThing Why?...
