Introducing the Steve Rubel Linkstream - a Social News Site
It's been about a month since I went all lifestream on you and, so far, in my view it's been a success. I have been posting daily and, thanks to the elegance of Posterous, have been experimenting in new ways. My traffic, engagement and subscribers are all way up.
When I started I promised that I would use the stream to continuously experiment with new technologies, bringing you along for the journey. This is easy since a lifestream sits between a blog and a tweet in format and approach.
With this in mind I am today rolling out The Steve Rubel Linkstream - a social news site. It's powered by Slinkset, which Posterous recently acquired.
The Linkstream initially will pull from my shared links on Google Reader and anything I have starred on Instapaper. You can vote any of these items up/down and comment on as well. As technologies and/or trends rise to the top quickly I will consider taking a deeper look at it on the lifestream site - most likely through experimenting.
Please take a look and let me know what you think. At some point I might open it up to other editorial contributors as well. (Note that some of the links might be old as the site populates my archived Google Reader items).

I ask because I really don't know. But I guess we'll soon find out.
Great service you found there!
However, I see the updates are kinda slow. I also tested the service with a feed mashup and I got no updates after a few hours. I'm curious if in your case the thing is caused by some kind of a bug or you really didn't push the Read Later bookmarklet for two days :)
Thanks!
