Bring back AIM: a browser extension that reinvents AIM chatrooms, but in the corner of your screen. Add usernames, send links to friends throughout the day, pulls in real-time status for URL you're on like "peter is on twitter" "tori is on fabfitfun" "mike is on youtube" (-@hipcityreg)

Thought of the week: there's so much great content published every day. Too much, frankly. I've got like 20+ youtube vids in my "Watch Later," a bajillion unread newsletters, however many pods I haven't listened to yet. Unlike most email where you can quick skim, getting to "inbox zero" with "leisure content" is becoming an impossible task. It's part of the inspiration behind this experiment, but more broadly, why I'm suuuuper bullish on curation businesses. Do you sub to anyone doing this really well or in an interesting way right now?
