So, I (finally?) signed up for the ‘universal feed aggreggator’ Friendfeed and they had this list of services that you can import into your Friendfeed account:

As I was reading the list, ticking off the ones I use/refused/have heard about/must check out, I wondered: what are the equivalent services in Japan, or related services, and/or services that take the same idea to the next level? I confess to a slight sense of jealousy of my bilingual friends, because they can choose to use the ones they like best, whether in Japanese or in English. But, since I stick to to the English language services, I am intensely curious about the others.

It’s feature envy!
