Possible to merge contacts in the lifestream?
Is there a way to merge contacts?
For example, I have a friend who is on both Twitter and Facebook and when he makes updates i see two separate updates which are visually disconnected.. Is there a way to have them visually grouped together like what happens when someone makes successive updates ?
did that make sense?

Inappropriate?What you need to do is click on the name of the accounts you wish to "combine". Type in whatever name you would like them to be. If their name is already their name on the service, rename them to the same name. (if one of them is Facebook, rename them even if it's the same name. That is, rename "John Doe" to "John Doe".) once you've done this, we will automatically "de-dupe" duplicate activities.
We are fully aware that this isn't intuitive enough and have already been working on a much improved interface for collapsing multiple accounts to one "real-life" person. In the meantime, at least the clunky interface works.

Inappropriate?Oh is that all i have to do? Cause i actually did click on it.. and was pleasantly surprised to see i had the option to rename the contact... but even after i did that they didn't 'combine' ... i just had 'John Doe' twitter feed / break / 'John Doe' facebook feed.. but ill try it again.
thanks!
I’m excited

Inappropriate?That worked!
Thanks... i had to rename *both* of the feeds a common name for it to take.. but then it worked like a charm. Id say... as far as intuitiveness goes... it only struggles in the fact that i have to rename both of them..
but im very happy now. thanks
I’m happy
