lifestrea.ms uses RSS, Atom feeds, APIs and proprietary methods to aggregate information from all the web apps you use. It brings everything together in a full Ajax Dashboard, which updates automatically your incoming stream of news by putting new posts on the top. As you can add any other RSS or Atom feed too and even import OPML files, you can and should also use it as a newsreader. With lifestrea.ms as a newsreader you can comment on posts and forward them to friends in your social network to start a threaded discussion. You can also find likeminded people as you can see who's reading the same feeds. If you keep it secret that you're reading a feed, you can at least annotate and tag it. If you read this feed publicly, you can even pingback and trackback on posts automatically. You can also create your own content from inside your dashboard, by uploading audio, video and image files and writing status updates and blog posts. Files are scanned for meta information (e.G. for mp3s: artist, album title, release date) which is added automatically too.
