SuprGlu

SuprGlu is a service which aggregates all you content, much like PeopleFeeds (see review).

I like the way feeds are dispalyed in SuprGlu, as it looks like a very well designed blog! There are numerous of themes, most good, to choose from as well as the option to customise the CSS. Compared to PeopleFeeds, this is great - as it basically lacks all ability to customise!

You can add any RSS feed; though 43 Places, 43 Things, All Consuming, Blogger, Clipmarks, del.icio.us, Digg, Flickr, last.fm, LiveJournal, Simpy, WP.com and Xanga are supported by default. When you add a feed, it gets the title and adds it to a list using AJAX. This lets you add multiple feeds at once.

The site builds a tag cloud, from all services which support tags (including your blog!). I find side features like this amazing. Another side feature is that it compresses all posts into a simple RSS feed. Another is the Squeeze which takes you to a related page.

A use for this is that people don’t need to make linkposts, as they can have another blog which does it automatically for them.

A thing I think is missing from this is social networking. It would be good if it could integrate your social network from other services, and then somehow visualise them. It would have to seperate duplicates, though. Another feature I’d like is a manual update tool, so you can force it to re-read the feeds, and not for it just to do in the next cron job.

  1. Looks nice enough and I had been waiting for something like this for a while. Not entirely convinced yet. I’ll have to play with it a bit, I guess. Now it just looks awfully identical to my blog. Duh.

  3. [...] Azhar Chougle sent me a tip about a billable-time-management service called Harvest, the same folks who run a service I really appreciate: Suprglu. This isn’t really my specialist field, [...]

  4. [...] Profilactic is a service which aggregates your activity on different websites such as del.icio.us, Digg, Flickr, YouTube and/or your blog. It sounds very similar to the Suprglu service, which we reviewed last year but is pretty inactive right now. The sign-up form is extremely simple; you only need to fill out four boxes (username, email, password, confirm password) as well as ticking a checkbox stating you agree to the site’s ToS. Following this all you have to do is confirm your email address. A small thing I like is that how when you confirm it you get taken to a special log-in page where all you need to do is fill in your password. In the URL, I observed the file extension JSPC so I assume Profilactic is built on Java Server. [...]
