Is FriendFeed the feed for me?

Do you find yourself wondering if you have too many sites to go to in order to keep up with what’s going on? RSS readers, Twitter, Flickr, MySpace, FaceBook, and the list goes on and on (and on)…

As a continuation of yesterday’s post Are we too connected to social media? I asked some fairly open ended questions. This all started when I read a post over at Dan’s blog (BizTechTalk) regarding meta-meta-aggregators. For those of you just tuning in, that’s a tool that crawls all of your social media sites and pulls them back together in a single portal or allows you to atleast create vectors of usable information rather than trying to sift through the static of the Internet.

As fate would have it, Scoble strikes again… and talks on FriendFeed.com. As it turns out, someone already had this bright idea (and they evidently use to work at Google - why am I not surprised?).

I have subscribed to FriendFeed (http://friendfeed.com/changeforge), and I’ll keep you all posted on how it goes. With all of these social media channels in this land grab for subscribers there has to be some players in the space to help orchestrate the static. Let’s see if FriendFeed can do it.
