Mashable calls Profilactic one of the best lifestreaming services
The Profilactic lair was awakened this morning to sound of the blogosphere buzzing about MyBlogLog's new New with Me feature. Basically, MBL has released a service that aggregates your content from 50 or so social media sites. Anyone reading this blog is very familiar with the idea.

Anyway, one of those blog posts got our attention. The incredibly insightful Stan Schroeder from Mashable (Mashable covered Profilactic based in January of 2007) wrote a review of MyBlogLog's new feature and called Profilactic (and Correlate.us) the best lifestreaming services.

"Profilactic and little known Correlate.us come to mind as the best ones"

That's what I'm talkin' about! Finally someone recognizes that FriendFeed, iminta and the 10 or so other social media aggregators/lifestreaming services didn't just invent the category... and aren't the best either (Stan said that, don't get mad at me, Harry Tang).

Of course, in the same review, Stan basically says that none of the current crop of lifestreaming services are doing as much as they should in terms of giving users control over their content. I think some of the updates we're planning for our version 3.1 release may be a step in the direction that Stan is advocating.

So let's take a moment to celebrate Stan Schroeder -- the world's wisest tech blogger ! Hip Hip ---
