We need FriendFeed for the Enterprise

Friendfeed, is awesome. In a nutshell, in enables you to produce a feed of all your activity online from various disparate systems. Moreover, you can aggregate the activity feeds of all of your friends, or special feeds in 'rooms'.

It's a Facebook activity stream on crack.

For example, check out my feed that is pulling information from my blogs, delicious, LibraryThing, twitter, Google Talk amongst many others.

But how can the business world capitalize on activity feed technologies?

Why should you care?

Activity feeds are going to be a key technology going forward for managing employees, because they enable management to monitor people based on results and actions, rather than time. It could be one of the missing pieces to make results oriented work environments more marketable.
