Friendfeed looks like a reliable tool to keep track of all your online activities in real time, even all activities of everyone in real time. Well, nothing could be farther from truth. Friendfeed does not work in real time, much less shows you all updates from everyone. Friendfeed will only show you some updates. Take Stumble Upon for example, if you add Stumble Upon to Friendfeed, you will get only some Stumbles, not every click you made on Stumble Upon. Why does this happen? Tracking all updates requires a lot of CPU power and hard disk space. No free service would be profitable or reliable to do such thing. With this service you can at best get an update every hour or so.

Friendfeed actually is good for nothing. It’s sad to discover this only after two years of usage, in the beginning it worked better than now.

If you want to track all activities you need to use the RSS button and Google Reader, only then you can be sure you really have all updates in one place. Using RSS by email does not work simply because there is no Google behind it. If you subscribe to a website using Feedburner then it will work, but RSS to Email services most of the times will not based on experience. The closest thing to email RSS is, it’s when you use Thunderbird and subscribe to everything inside the same program.
