FriendFeed: keep tabs online

FriendFeed
When you're stalking someone — er, I mean learning all about the man you love — it can get to be a lot of work keeping track of all his movements online. Really, I mean, you might have to check his FaceBook, MySpace, Flickr, Amazon, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr... it's just too much clicking.

And worse, that's a lot of non-work related stuff to be looking at when your internet got shut off due to the restraining order and you're stuck doing all your stalking from the office. Especially when you have to check it every day, to see if there's anything new.

Fortunately, there's FriendFeed. If the object of your obsession is already signed up, you just find him on there and you're done. But if he's not, it's still no problem, because you can create an "imaginary friend". Cool!

This neat little site allows you to add in all the information you know about someone's online presence for dozens of web sites: FaceBook, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, Amazon, Digg, Google Reader, del.icio.us, Picasa, SmugMug, LinkedIn, and more. Then you just track the feed to see what's new. Simple.

You can even eyeball his NetFlix queue, and when you see that he seems to rent a lot of Molly Ringwald movies, you can go out and get your hair cut and dyed like Molly Ringwald and he's certain to fall in love with you then!
