Last night someone posted the following presentation to SlideSix. The preso was posted by a guest user, and it was titled 'Google Dashboard (Concept)'. I find it rather curious since I've never heard of such a service and the screenshots do not look familiar at all.
See Update below
On slide 2 it says it is:
A tool that allows you to manage your online activity and offline relationships all in one place. Google Dashboard works by keeping track of your communications based upon the relationships you have, not just the types of resources you are exchanging. So instead of using one program for email, another one for blog posts, and a third for photos, you can now see all of that information conveniently integrated for you in one place.Here is the presenation. I've pinged the person who's email appears in the presentation to find out more information, but have not yet heard back from them. Update: I just received the following via email:
Saw your post about the Google service. Thats something I put up last night, its just an idea not affiliated with Google at all. I put it together because its something I've been thinking about for a while and because I saw that Google has a product ideas website (http://productideas.appspot.com/). They are only accepting ideas for mobile products now but I was going to try to add this to that site when they begin accepting ideas for other products later this year (http://googleproductideas.blogspot.com/2008/12/seasons-greetings-from-google-product.html).
Personally, I wouldn't want to group content streams based on all of those different relationship contexts: I'd prefer a system that was more tag-like, where a single relationship to another person could involve several contexts.
