Lifestream: Swurl - a new brilliant agrregation service

Swurl is a new Lifestream / Tumblelog service, and it's really great!
It collects all things you do online from different social networks and blogs, and publish it on Swurl like a blog.
So now you don't have to worry that you use social networks instead of blogging

Swurl beta

Bring your web life together.

Brings all your web content together into a blog format.
Encourages conversations, not just comments.
Finds your friends on other sites and automatically gives you a feed of their activity.
Swurl is essentially a lifecasting aggregator that pulls your current activity from web services that include Last.fm, Flickr, Amazon, and nearly twenty other sources
New comer to the blogging 2.0 space Swurl aggregates online activity to deliver a Tumblr like experience with a unique timeline view as well.
If Swurl sounds a bit like FriendFeed, it kind of is. Both services let you gather all of your social networking activity in one place. But Swurl is a lot prettier and more customizable.
Swurl's timeline feature stands out most, placing your links, photos, and other activities on a calendar timeline.
The big picture here for us is that RSS feeds and lifestream data in particular can really look great when displayed nicely and mashedup with various sources of data.
