Checking out Swurl

There are a few aggregating sites out there on these Internets. It's mindboggling that we actually need them. I do know I can barely get through my day without Facebook, Gmail, Yahoo! mail, Livejournal and Bloglines. Some need more aggregation than others, like Facebook, Livejournal, this blog and my others.

So, here's where Swurl comes in. It allows you to add feeds from a variety of different social networking style sites into one big thing.

I don't like the actual Swurl homepage. But, I absolutely adore the timeline. For some reason some Flickr updates aren't being picked up, but some are. I think it might have to do with permissions on upload. I changed my default to Private.

It's super easy to setup as long as you know the urls for all of your stuff. I'd imagine most people do.

I'm not sure I like Swurl as a site, or the concept more. But when they add Livejournal support, I'll be more than happy!
