Spokeo Launches Social Network Aggregator Tonight

Spokeo, one of the many new sites trying to consolidate social networks, will launch officially tonight, a full 7 months after first going live.

Spokeo now sees itself as a kind of RSS reader for social networks: read all your friend's updates in one location in a system akin to the Facebook feed. You can now "see which friends favorited videos on YouTube, uploaded photos to MySpace, and posted blogs on Friendster", the team told Mashable, reordering, grouping, and merging those subscriptions at will. They're the simplest of the social network aggregators, and you can play around with a demo account as soon as you hit the site.

I suspect RSS aggregation is a part of this new Digital Lifestyle Aggregator model, but the only company to see the full picture right now appears to be Facebook. The Google-funded SocialStream could also be a major force: if released officially, it would blow away the competition.
