Peoplefeeds and Quick Aggregation
peoplefeeds is cool.
I’ve been looking for something to can aggregate my Flickr, Wordpress blog, and
del.icio.us feeds into one venue where I can look up items by tag, in a single
page-load.
Suprglu was my leading contender, although they
weren’t there yet since they didn’t seem to support importing my blog posts
with tags preserved — pretty much everything wound up tagged as
“uncategorized“.
disappointing. 
so I was waiting for them to fix that.

MacManus pointed at
another couple of options; 43Things and Peoplefeeds. I hadn’t actually noticed
that 43Things was doing this kind of aggregation too; unfortunately as far as
I can see, they doesn’t support tag preservation and browsing, so there
goes my desired feature. shame.
However, Peoplefeeds was right on target, offering a ‘Unified Tagspace’ and a
‘Search All-Personal-Content’ mechanism. It works nicely, too. Here’s my
personal aggregator, combining my Flickr
feed, my weblog feed, and my del.icio.us feed into one — and with a unified
tag-space; here’s my ‘hiking’
tag, hitting all 3 feeds.
Perfect.
One other use for this — I’ve forgotten why I was looking for one of these,
but I know I did want one 
— it can be used to make a “private
planet“. If you have 3 or 4 feeds that
you need to combine into one, this provides a very easy way to do that;
just set up a userid at Peoplefeeds for that purpose.
