Just looking at Emily Chang's post about putting together all of her online output into one data stream and it's a great concept.

It's led to some great links being dropped in the comments - it's amazing how many good tools there are for collating your online life into on page/stream. Also a little scary given possible privacy concerns, but hey, you put it out there you deal with the consiquences.

For sheer novelty value alone, I particularly liked 30 Boxes' 30 Boxed which overlays all of your feeds onto a calendar showing when they were first posted. You can see mine here. I really like the idea of being able to skim through my online life looking at the bookmarks I found, the comments I made and the photos I took on any given day (could I be any more egocentric?).

If you go on and register, you can add any diary information you want and you get a rather snazzy virtual home page, task lists, the whole lot (as a side note, why in God's name are businesses still using the horrible Outlook when there's so many great web based alternatives out there?).

Suffice to say there are a good deal more web apps which need exploring:
SuprGlu
Yahoo Pipes
Touchstone
SlifeShare
Jaiku
