We all have ideas and things we want to do, but for some reason we don’t do them. Why? The problem with ideas is that they are as only as good as the actions that follow them. If you want to travel the world but you never do, then you’re idea is left unrealized. If you want to start a company but never do, then again, your idea is left unrealized. I think a lot ...

Over the past year, we've been inundated with social media. We've seen Twitter go mainstream, lifestreaming take over blogging, and we've tried what felt like a million different applications.

There are many "features as a service" -- we need more "glue" services like this that allow us to implement the Unix "pipe" between different services and data storage.

What Twitchboard does is tie together different services on the social web and automates their interactions. Specifically, Twitchboard watches your Twitter stream and notices when you post a URL. It then automatically sends that link to your del.icio.us account. And, according to the company's homepage, they're working on connections to many other services for the future.
