It is a few days that I am using FriendFeed a new service that aggregates in one page your own and your friends' various Social Networks feeds and updates
For example, you can see what songs your friends are listening to on last.fm, what video they enjoyed on YouTube, their last blog or Twitter post or see the new photos they have published to Picasa. And you will show the same!
Currently, FriendFeed supports 33 different services :
You choose the ones you want to share with others, you set the user/pass, and then if your page is public (open to all) or private (you must grant authorization).
Then you check for your Friends. When you click on them you see the services they share and the people they have suscribed to.
Netvibes as such is not already listed, but what you can do is to get the RSS FEED of your own public Activities on Netvibes ( In own your profile, close to "edit profile", the orange icon Feed) and insert it as ... BLOG. That way,
even your "Not yet Netvibes" friends will see your Netvibes updates (but not the Star it!)
With FriendFeed you can also check people that are not already using FriendFeed by creating an "Imaginary Friend". Then, you get your friend's Twitter, Facebook,blog, Netvibes Activity, ... Feeds and by placing the Feed as a ... Blog you will be able to follow them.
But it is not just following that you can do.
With FriendFeed you can also:
by leaving a short note
Like by choosing an emoticon
More by linking the entry.
You can also leave links and psot a FF status. You can also see comments from Friends of Friends, pictures and captures....
I like this service and I have created in my Netvibes page a full tab dedicated to it with the WEB PAGE widget (add content/essential widgets/Web page).
This way I check my most interesting friends in more "complete way" not, as before, service by service but activity by activity. Thanks FriendFeed !
My public FriendFeed is : http://friendfeed.com/netex and I publish there my Twetter, Blog, Netvibes Activity, Facebook updates.
NetEx Rating: 4****/5
Friendfeed is a very powerful service to aggregate your Social networks feeds and Updates.
It is the most advanced service toward my Single Social Interface dream.
The 4* means that the service is not already "finished": the search was just added a few days ago.
Friendfeed should also add Netvibes as a basic service ;)
