Spokeo is a hyper-aggregator that syndicates blogs, photos, and videos from social networks and web feeds. Spokeo supports Bebo, Blogger, DeviantArt, Digg, Facebox, Flickr, Fotolog, Friendster, hi5, ImageStation, LiveJournal, MySpace, Photobucket, PictureTrail, Piczo, Webshots, Windows Live Spaces, Wretch, Xanga, Yahoo Video, and Youtube.
Spokeo allows people to track their friends' latest content in a constantly updated news stream. In addition to social networks, Spokeo can work as a multimedia RSS reader that syndicates RSS and Atom feed. This means that people can also access Spokeo to keep up with news, web comics, podcasts, and other syndicated content.
Spokeo is started by couple Stanford graduates in 2005. It is implemented in Ruby on Rails.
Misconception
Spokeo is not a social network. It does not have 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.
