totally changing my mind, sort of…

I’ve changed my mind and signed up to facebook. Not because I was desperate to connect to everyone I worked with in 1998 or did my GCSEs with, but because I couldn’t get to all the brand facebook pages, plannery things and blogs without signing up.
So thats a dormant facebook account to add to the dormant myspace, second life, vox, plannersphere and god knows what else that I’ve forgotten about. I keep forgetting to twitter and then there is the three email adresses, this blog and my flickr that I actually manage to keep up to date with.
Surely someone is going to have to come up with a better way of accessing and monitoring all this social networking malarky? Or the entire economy is going to grind to a halt. How about an RSS-style single page that pulls all your social networking sites together? Has anyone heard of one? Please?

Thanks Organic Frog. Had a look round – looks like a really useful search resource but I really want something that will keep an eye on all of the sites that represent me to the outside world (flickr, blog, plannersphere etc) and let me know whats going on with them at one click. Suppose I’ll just have to keep looking…

Well they actually want people to use it as a search engine, but I mainly use it to have one RSS feed for my vidos (you tube) pics (flickr) Bookmarks (delicious) and Blog. A kind of hub for my different profiles online.
But you’re right, it’s not the ideal site, I don’t know how you add sites that don’t have enabled RSS feeds such as plannersphere…
