Social Oyster is a tool that allowed users to share their Web activities to their friends. In order to use the functionality rendered by Social Oyster, you need to register an account with them which they called it “Your Oysterpass.” After you signing up the service, you can fill-up Your Oysterpass. In other words, your profile completely with all the fields such as your favorite, your business URL, etc. Besides, they allowed you to embed your profile to your Web site or blog through a one-click button called Oysterbutton. On Social Oyster, you’ll find that all the features are labeled with the word Oyster, and I only can decipher about its offering after playing with it for a couple of minutes.

Meanwhile, I believed Social Oyster is a FriendFeed (I will profile this startup in later stage) clone. Though it remains coy as it won’t say what is its ambition and which services it intends to provide in the near future on its Web site, but from the “OysterLine”, you can easily aggregate your Web activities as well as able to find out all your friends’ recent activities from this particular page. In addition, Social Oyster also build a “Public Oysterline” page which allowed users to see all the Social Oyster users’ activities in a real-time basis. The Oysterline is an ajax-realtime-reader, click on the item will bring you to that page, regardless it is aggregated from Flickr, YouTube, or del.icio.us, etc.

Social Oyster hasn’t proved that it can do well in the RSS aggregation at this moment, as I aggregate my Twitter activities to this Social Oyster, all the links appeared to be a long text, not the URL link that I expected. However, Social Oyster is seeking to offer its users a new means of searching user profile on the Web with the launched of a social search engine, users can type an username to conduct a profile search as well as use the “places” to find users in their neighborhoods.

FriendFeedSpy is a site that let you keep on watching what is happening on FriendFeed. Though it’s not created by FriendFeed, but it certainly an useful site when you want to track the latest buzz in FriendFeed, instead of visit the FriendFeed Public site, as FriendFeedSpy is considered fetching all the submitted items in nearly real-time, but FriendFeed Public is only fresh the moment you manually click on it.

With this FriendFeedSpy, I probably believe that “Spying” is good to have, just like I read that breaking up or restructuring of corporations is good to have too, in terms of value creation. The existence of this kind of sites will also help FriendFeed handle the flow of the submitted news in a more sophisticated way, but I wondering why FriendFeed didn’t do it itself, instead of letting other party develop for them. Nevertheless, this kind of spy sites is nothing new in the Web industry. Prior to this, there are Twitter Spy, del.icio.us Spy, YouTube Spy, and Digg Spy.

On the site, you can further filter the results appeared in real-time submitted by FriendFeed users into different categories such as news (digg, google reader, etc.) or bookmarking (del.icio.us, diigo, furl, etc.). Additionally, you can either play or pause the results fetching over from FriendFeed, but I don’t think it’s functioning properly at this moment, I’ve tried that. There is also a remote login which allow you to authenticate your account, and hence do some liking or commenting on the news submitted.
