What tools do you use to aggregate your Internet activities?

Question

With the explosion of the Social Web in the last couple of years, I find myself producing more and more narcissistic, inane, self congratulatory content all over the place. What do you use to consolidate your various streams of awesomeness into a single font of wisdom?

The Jon Skeet Facts page.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

As a more serious answer, I don't try to aggregate them at all at the moment. I use Google Reader for blogs but only blogs, Witty or the normal Twitter web page for Twitter, Google Groups for newsgroups, the "native" MSN, Skype and Google Talk clients for chat, and each of the SO-type sites separately. All horribly low tech, but I seem to get by.

I'm hoping that once Google Wave launches, that will consolidate things somewhat.

I think the kind of thing you're talking about is called lifestreaming.

You might want to check out Chi.mp as one example.

Without a shadow of a doubt Friendfeed and Ping.Fm are the best tools for social mess, I mean media.

I live in one of four applications, either on my Mac, iPhone or Windows:

iPhone:

TweetDeck - for Twitter
FaceBook - Since TweetDeck on iPhone doesn't integrate.
NetNewsWire - RSS Feeds
Mail - Duh :P
Safari - Stack Overflow Trilogy
