SuprGlu - collected online self-ness
SuprGlu is a sort of a personality aggregator for the web published by Iridesco. If you wanted to collect all the information available by you or about you that you’re responsible for, SuprGlu’d be a place to do it.
The essential idea here is that you give SuprGlu a bunch of inputs of your data from the web. They offer built-in connectors to many popular services (43 Places and 43 Things, Blogger, del.icio.us, Digg, Last.fm, and WordPress.com are a few) and they can aggregate content from any RSS-enabled source. Their rules for adding content are here but the rules seem only loosely enforced by the application - I was unable to add a Technorati ego search feed, but could esaily add a Tribe.net tribe feed, for example. Another interesting feature is that visitors can comment on your work right there and don’t have to navigate to the original post, though that might end up being more of a curse than a blessing. Visitors could also subscribe to an aggregated feed, but with all the hullabaloo about Pokeyword.com and “hijacked” feeds folks may be a little gun shy about that
All in all this looks to be a pretty interesting attempt at rolling together the disparate content you might produce through blogging, bookmark managers, and group membership. The predetermined offerings are a little sparse as yet (where’s Furl.net, for example, or Yahoo!’s MyWeb?) and their crawler is experiencing some difficulties right now, but when they get up to scale it’ll be interesting to see where they go. I’m not sure yet if I’ll publicise my SuprGlu address particularly widely, yet, but for family members that have a hard time keeping up with what I post where this might be a boon.

Have you looked at peoplefeeds http://peoplefeeds.com/ ?
I just switched from SuprGlu, primarily because I could not get SuprGlu to aggregate Blink.
Disclaimer: I have no dealings at all with peoplefeeds, I just like what they have so far.

Hi, Cori, I found that it was easy to add a Furl.net feed to Suprglu, just use the URL http://furl.net/members/USERID/rss.xml (substituting in your userid). The formatting, etc., worked perfectly after that. Hope that helps,
