LifeStreaming at Correlate.us

After reading this article on Lifestream Blog, I decided to sign up for an account on correlate.us, a lifestreaming application that allows you to input feeds from del.icio.us, flickr, lastfm and twitter and has also created an application available on facebook. You can check out my profile here. So far, i am not particularly impressed with the user interface and the graphing feature does not seem to work, as the last time I looked it showed that all of my information was coming from del.icio.us and nothing from flickr. It also seems that the representation of tags is not accurate. Despite these problems (to be expected as this seems to be a side project) the idea is interesting. However, there seems to be no social aspect to the service yet besides using it on facebook, which makes it really not useful to me right now. I clicked on 'my friends' and it gave me no option to invite or find friends.

I have my own opinions on lifestreaming in general, which I will not get into here. But, unless they are planning to do an overhaul of the design and social functionality, I don't think I would use this particular site in its current state.
