FriendFeed seems to be the aggregator on everyone's Facebook profile these days. Made up entirely of ex-Googlers, it seems to have taken off, at least as my updates seem to keep telling me.
Linking up feeds from 28 supported services (including the usual StumbleUpons, Twitters, YouTubes, and Flickrs), FriendFeed allows you to keep up with what your contacts are doing in one centralized location, via either your FriendFeed page or the corresponding Facebook application.
If this is all sounding familiar, you are [...]

Sometimes I'm a little slow at catching on with new things. It took an interesting new look to Ross Mayfield's blog to get me to notice Dandelife, but I may have gotten hooked on this whole lifecasting thing. I was fortunate enough to spend some time IMing with Dandelife CEO Kelly Abbott about his vision for Dandelife as well as getting a bit of a newcomer's walk-through.
Dandelife started out as a blogging platform, but it's obviously a different application than [...]

I've heard dribs and drabs of news about Spokeo over the past year, but it took a push from Guy Kawasaki's blog over the holidays to actually get me to log in and check it out.
Spokeo, if you haven't heard about it, is an all-in-one aggregator for all your social networking sites, from Amazon wishlists to YouTube videos. In all, 33 sites are currently supported in Spokeo, allowing you to keep tabs on every site in one place.
Here's what's [...]

I tend to keep my eye on about a dozen or so feeds (gathered by Google Reader, if you’re curious to know) every day in order to scrounge up enough fodder for my posts here at Profy. (Si, soy un moocher.) Some of course receive more attention than others.
Case in point: I passed over my subscription to CNET’s Tech News Blog for the first couple of days of the week, and in so doing, missed quite a delectable piece [...]

So, how’d you spend your pseudo-religio-slash-gungho-consumero holiday break? Watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” for the upteenth time? Had your standard overfill of the eggnog once more? Finally put to paper a solemn vow to wreak damage upon all the world’s sweater makers?
We at Profy did what we do best. We spent our precious free moments away from word processors trawling the Web for lots and lots of digital junk (food). And, like plenty other Internet fanatics who double as Digg [...]

About 6 months ago an interesting site was launched called SuTree. The initial offering was a simple listing of instructional videos. Since then the site has received good reviews and lots of feedback, both positive and negatively constructive. SuTree is still a fairly early development in perhaps the most important Web 2.0 venue - education. This aspect of the Web has been woefully underdeveloped, and I actually root for any development aimed at tackling the immense task of aggregating knowledge. [...]

On Friday we got a rather exclusive look at Zude's upcoming public release for this week. This year's most promising social computing platform has beefed up everything from server capacity to social reach for this launch. Zude helps people develop their own dynamic websites without any programming or HTML skills. Anyone from Coders and Geeks to Grandma's and children can now use cross-domain drag and drop to build very compelling sites.
I covered Zude for ReadWriteWeb back in June [...]

Recognize the name Instant Media? No? Well, to get you a little familiar with it, you only really need to know two things: It?s a competitor of Miro, previously known as Democracy Player; and it?s dead.
I?ll be perfectly honest with you. I know very little about Instant Media. Almost nothing. Only about a half hour prior to getting to write this piece did I get some facts about the product up on my screen. So, really I pretty much know [...]

Profy is building something exciting for the tech-savvy crowd. The Profy development team is at work on a very large-scale Web 2.0 project to be launched in public beta later this year. It's an advanced blogging platform with an integrated powerful RSS reader enhanced by social featured. The application will drastically change the way we blog and read our news.
At the moment, the product is in strictly private beta and we're looking for a strong team of early testers [...]
