Gathering All my Online Activity Into One Place
It’s called FriendFeed. And it lets you track and publish all of the information about what I’ve been up to on the various social enabled web service I’m a member of. Most of what you’ll see on here is links to things I’ve rated on StumbleUpon, bookmarked on del.cio.us, and song’s I’ve “loved” on last.fm. But occasionally there will be new photos from Picasa(google) web albums, or books on goodreads or movies added to our Flickr queue. You never know what might be there. It’s kind of like this running social log of what I’ve been reading and what I’m interested in. It doesn’t really sound that interesting to me. But I could see some sort of interesting infovis document being created from this. Perhaps something along the lines of a personal “annual report” ala Feltron. I hope no-one really cares that much about the details of what I do online, but it’s interesting to see it all in one place.
Also, yes since I mentioned photos, there is a new album of photos from our trip to Bishop’s Castle up. It’s absolutely astounding that one man could build all of this.
