Google just released the API code for its Social Graph initiative and Plaxo already has an early application which makes use of it. While it’s a bit glitchy, it essentially allows you to create a lifestream from various sources such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Pownce, Google Reader and others. I found that it wouldn’t import my Flickr feed and the Facebook feed is restricted to two elements - notes and posted items - rather than your news feed. But this is an excellent early example of what should become possible over time. And hopefully we can go beyond a lifestream and actually create dynamic profiles based on this information from other sources.
