Everything in one place.

I read about FriendFeed in today's New York Times:

FriendFeed users can see what their friends are reading, listening to or viewing on the Web as a continuous stream of notifications. This stream can appear on a personal Web page or in a module on the user’s customized page on Facebook or Google.

The system does not require the installation of software, but it does require the friends to participate.The system can track people’s activities on a variety of Web sites, ranging from collaborative news filtering sites like Digg and Slashdot to music services like Last.fm and video and photo services like YouTube and Flickr.

Since my friends and I use every conceivable online service, I thought this would be incredibly useful. As usual, it turned out to be a private beta. Usually I assume it to be a waste of time, but I entered my email address anyway. And it what seemed to be record time - virtually minutes later - Bret Taylor of FriendFeed sent me an invite, so I signed up.

I have an account on virtually every service they monitor, so I added my accounts - a very simple process.And within a couple of hours my feed was full of stuff that I had posted or tweeted.

This is pretty slick. Everything I do online aggregated in one place, and available as a feed for my newsreader. Once my friend have signed up for this as well I can keep track of everything they do online. I only had one question. How do I follow my multiple blogs?
