And thanks for the beta link- I will be trying it out. I just got Google Wave so I don't really have that to compare Threadsy to (yet), but I did use FriendFeed quite a bit which ultimately didn't make a big impression on me. One thing I will add is that Twitter lists has totally changed how I use it... so at this point I'm not super anxious to add another place to my daily web diet. But I am excited to try it out!

You have hit on many of things that we are trying to do at Threadsy. We view Threadsy as the world's first integrated communication client. We are integrating the services that people use everyday into a single cohesive experience. You've hit on the many of the features and tradeoffs that we made while building the product. It's true that we can't be everything to everyone so we are trying to address 90% of the usage of each of the component service and then add new parts of the experience that you can't get anywhere else. There are two big things we are doing to integrate the experience that you didn't mention: 1. Search - We are the only place where you can search across all of your social media and email accounts. You no longer have to remember which service someone used to send you a message because we cover them all. 2. The Threadsy Profile. When you open an email or tweet in threadsy, we aggregate and present all of the social media accounts of the person sending you the message including their resume from linked in, their photos from facebook and flickr, their status updates from twitter and even their profile pages on amazon and pandora. We give you a complete picture of the sender. Thanks again for trying us and providing your feedback! Best, -rg (Founder and CEO of Threadsy) Thanks for this thoughtful writeup.
