I predict that 2010-11 will see surge of tools on the Internet that combine several services into one simple to use interface. The fact is that we must all be getting tired of having countless services such as Facebook, Twitter, Picasa, Flickr, Digg, MySpace (anyone still using that?), Gmail, LinkedIn etc. Even with our massive brains and capacity for multitasking, keeping all these services up to date is a daunting task, left only for the most devoted Internet surfers.

In recent months the internet is turning into a greater melting pot than ever before. Bombarded with continuous news and updates we find ourselves trying to share what is interesting by tweeting or throwing status lines on Facebook. Sharing link is not always the answer though and even if you have options to share more, it will either involve copying text or writing a description. Amplify is here to give us more selective options as to what we are sharing from each site.

Facebook has become part of our daily lives with its unprecedented number of users (350 millions) and continuous growth. It is however questionable if they will stay such integral part of our lives unless new features and value added services are added in the coming years. Anything with massive popularity has to re-invent itself constantly in order to keep up the attraction. But where can Facebook go from here?

It seems that every day there is a new Microblogging service popping up with slight variations to all the others. I decided to look at three of them; Tumblr, Posterous and TypePad.

In recent weeks four of my good friends have turned to me for advice on how to control access to their photos on Facebook. Seeing that they liked my setup I have decided to share it with you here on SamRag.com.

Gist offers a completely new way to view your contacts from many of the various networks out there in the big Internet world.  Taking a quick look at it here on SamRag.com we feel it is very interesting though it did raise some questions.

Last week a South African based company launched Personera, a pretty smart website that allows you to create your own personalized calendars using your Facebook account.

There are countless ways to find music and listen to it on the Internet, but Blip.fm is about the easiest one I have come across so far.
