Is everything under one roof?

Hi,
Frankly, I have learnt a lot of emerging communications tools from the CNEL2008 course. From social book marking to audio visual recording for podcasting, screen casting, ustream, simple bloging to microblogging. Then we move on to social networking tool like facebook which like a more 'advanced' twitter and finally, we are looking into aggregation tools that we hope to link and coordinate our works under one roof.

Like what have George mentioned, how can a person manage so many accounts at one time...? (Scratching my head) sometime, i need to memory couple of password and user name. Thinking..Can the website notify me when there is a new input. Aaa haaaa... When I see the assignemnt for this week, it really opens my eyes. Works can be simplified (sound ideally).

I know about google aleart and have a google account. I have been using goolge alert to track any new information or journals that are related to my research.

iGoogle and Google reader are new for me. So, I registered for an iGoogle and Google reader.... wow... Fantastic, everything seems to be under one roof. I tried to explore Google reader, added in my twitter and blog RSS feed. Then I arranged my iGoogle, yeap... I can now check my email, news and updates from blog or twitter and so on. I should say: Google simplify life ..:)

However, I found that the feed only applied to certain website (especially news, blog). I am thinking wether there is a software that create a RSS 'FEED' for other website that cannot be 'feed'. Wow.. sound very confusing with the word 'feed' here and there... :)

I could not make it for Face book. I have searched with google to find a solution, but not unsuccessful. I think there is a limitation for facebook (correct me if I am wrong). But, I need to use Google mail to faciliate all the RSS from different sites. And I use different email accounts for different things. Need to sort this problem out.

Pageflakes need a long time to log in. Hmm....I found that we can receive RSS feed from selected email account at one time but I am not sure we can receive RSS feed from few different email accounts at the same time.

I appreciated if anyone can 'enlighten' me with some helpful tips... :)

Ciao..
