Spokeo is a social network aggregator that automatically brings your friends’ updates across various web services. It supports 40+ services including Blogger, Digg, Flickr, Fotolog, Hi5, LinkedIn, MySpace, Picasa, Slide, Twitter, Veoh, Xanga, Yahoo! Videos, YouTube.

In addition to supporting social networks, Spokeo is a full feed reader, able to track any blog or website that has RSS feed.

Spokeo - Social network aggregation

Finding Friends: There are 3 ways to find and add friends into Spokeo.

  • Find friend by email or URL
  • Import friends by address book
  • Import friends by social network

Misconception: Spokeo is not a social network as many people think. It does not support messaging, blogging, photo or video uploading, or any social network features. Moreover, it syndicates only publicly available information. So Facebook (except notes & shares) & Orkut like sites can not be supported.

Overall I like the concept but hated few things like 1000 contact limit and slow speed. Still worth giving a try!
