This is how it works. You sign-up for Nomee and add in your various accounts. You can choose various “card” profiles for what accounts and what type of information you want to share with certain types of users (so you can have different settings for friends, family members, colleagues, etc.). You can also follow all the various activity streams from your friends (provided they have a Nomee account) and of newsmakers like celebrities, politicians and the web elite.

The Adobe Air app is extremely well designed and makes attractive VCF cards that can be exported or shared with other users. You can also embed your various cards onto your Facebook page or on your web site. To add users, you just search for someone’s name or username and if they are in the database, you can follow their streams.

The only real disadvantage of Nomee is that unless you can get your friends to sing-up for the service, it is of very little value. It’s a great way to create a good looking embeddable VCF or to create your own aggregate lifestream, but if you want to follow people other than celebrities, they must sign up for the service.

Because Nomee is basically just aggregations of lots of other services, convincing others to join so that you can follow their content more easily might not be easy. Thus, I would like to see Nomee integrate with existing friends lists of Facebook and Twitter (both of which you can designate as your OAuth Nomee login), at least for public streams, so that the impetus isn’t on the user to convince friends to join the service.
