Things have become much more complicated as more Microblog sites like, Identi.ca, and other Laconi.ca based sites, Kwippy, Rejaw and others come on line. Things have become more complicated as more sites send feeds to others, include Posterous. Things have become more complicated as additional aggregators have come on line, like Profilactic, and SecondBrain. Included in this are aggregators aggregating aggregators.
