I also noticed that MyBlogLog added FriendFeed.com (another LifeStreaming aggregator) to the list of services.

That sounds like an infinite loop to me. You add your aggregated feed to MLB, then add the MLB aggregated feed RSS to FriendFeed.com and there you go, you got an infinite loop, like the video feedback effect, the one you can create with a video camera and taking a video of the TV screen which is connected to the very same camcorder.

Not that anybody wants to do this on purpose, but it still raises a few conceptual question: who will be the ultimate final destination to see your aggregated online activities? What happens with the distributed, fragmented communication, like isolated comment islands on these different hubs?

In any case, I am trying this out and see what happens.

http://friendfeed.com/zszendro
and
http://www.mybloglog.com/bu...

are now mutually aggregating each other.
