LibSocialWeb
Submitted by Ross Burton, updated on 5 Feb 2010
LibSocialWeb is a data client and server which will fetch data from the "social web", such as your friend's blog posts and photos, upcoming events, recently played tracks, and pending eBay* auctions. It also provides a service to update your status on web services which support it, such as MySpace* and Twitter*.
Live Updates
LibSocialWeb can create live feeds from the items in one or more services. The number of items in the generated feed is specified by the client, and LibSocialWeb does its best to include as many services in the feed as possible, so that, for example, the feed doesn't just contain Twitter updates. Feed items are simply a set of string key-value pairs, with standard names for the keys.
