Spokeo is a hyper-aggregator that syndicates blogs, photos, and videos from social networks and web feeds. Spokeo supports Bebo, Blogger, DailyMotion, DeviantArt, Digg, Flickr, Fotolog, Friendster, HI5, ImageStation, Imeem, Last.fm, LiveJournal, MySpace, Netlog, Photobucket, PictureTrail, Vox, Webshots, Windows Live Spaces, Wretch, Xanga, Yahoo Video, and YouTube.
Spokeo allows users to track their friends' latest content in a constantly updated news stream. In addition to supporting social networks, Spokeo is a full feed reader, allowing access to syndicated news, web comics, podcasts, and more.
Spokeo was founded by Stanford graduates in 2006. It is implemented in Ruby on Rails.
Misconception
Spokeo is not a social network. It does not support messaging, blogging, custom profiles, or any social network features. Moreover, it syndicates only publicly available information. Facebook and other password-protected sites are not supported.
