The Rise of Cloud Agents
It was only this morning that we were lamenting about the lack of the perfect social tool when what did we stumble across but Twitchboard? No, no, it's not the perfect tool, silly, it's a Twitter app. Yet what it does is something that no other Twitter apps have done before: it gives us hope for the future of the social web.
When we discovered a post about Twitchboard in our RSS feeds this morning, it would have been easy to fly past it, thinking "pfft, - yet another Twitter app." However, that's would have been a mistake.
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.
