Spokeo offers a tool similar to Facebook’s newsfeed, but instead of being limited to just one site, it can track your friends’ activities across over 30 sites. Some of the websites it covers are Bebo, Digg, Facebook, Flickr, Hi5, imeem, Last.fm, LinkedIn, MySpace, Pandora, Slide, StumbleUpon, Twitter, Windows Live Spaces, Yelp, and YouTube. Spokeo is very simple to setup. Simply import contacts from Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail and Spokeo will use publicly available APIs to search for your friends (using their email address) and will let you know what they’ve been up to.
FriendFeed is somewhat similar in concept to Spokeo.
