SuprGlu

There seems to be a hot topic afloat regarding a leaked Google video showing their plans to offer “activity streams“. Basically, RSS that shows what your friends are doing, ala Facebook news feeds (which I must say, I haven’t used for myself). It sounds very similar to shared Google items, a Google Reader feature I absolutely love, but I assume it will be more of a central location for all shared Google activity.

This brings to mind SuprGlu - a site I started using awhile back, where you create an account & paste in the RSS feeds of whatever you’d like. I gave it the RSS feeds of my sites (including comments), my Flickr account, Delicious, Last.fm & google reader shared items - resulting in a single site of (most of) my online activity:

I haven’t touched the site since the day I created an account, there’s no need to - just add your feeds and forget about it. You can then give out your SuprGlu RSS to friends with feed readers (it’s especially handy for those just getting started), and BAM - they’ve got every feed you ever spit out. Create a new blog? Just update your SuprGlu and everyone is instanly subscribed to any future RSS you may generate!

It’s a feeding frenzy out there!
