It had to happen. Some geeks from Google, Yahoo, Oracle, Berkeley, CMU, Cal Tech, CWRU, Stanford, MIT (and those are just ones in Birkenstocks) joined forces for a social network called FriendFeed. With this service, you can glom bits from all your other social networks into one super-aggregated masterpiece (Facebook articles, Flickr photos...).

I'm thinking of finally taking the social-networking plunge and firing up my ASR-33 teletypewriter machine (with paper tape). I've heard they even have ASCII art these days.
