Don Crowley used FeedBlendr to merge the feeds of all his online publications into a single UniFeed (unified feed). Excellent, one subscription and I can track all Don’s output. This is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind when I wrote -
“The Read-only Web has been replaced by the Read/Write web. And the Read/Write web orbits around me (and you!). Does the sun visit the planets? Or do the planets catch the rays? I radiate a stream of digital outputs, the ticker tape of my life, a continuous feed of annotations - my uniFeed. My satellite apps should catch those rays. My blog should render a subset of my uniFeed, my presense app another subset, my calendar another, etc,.”
It also points to a reason why Jaiku is getting so much attention as a Twitter alternative right now. Jaiku, though relatively lacking in community, is really a different beast to the the Techmeme favourite. By aggregating RSS feeds it operates as a UniFeed generator, ‘catching the rays’ of the digital annotations you radiate throughout the day.

I actually registered for Jaiku last year but soon gave it up for the busier Twitter. That’s the argument Robert Scoble makes in favour of the latter - that community (and simplicity) wins. He might be right but I’m sure we’ll see Twitter adopting some of Jaiku’s UniFeed features down the line.
