Hi all,

Does anyone have suggestions on adding to the game by feeding PMOG with feeds generated by other social networking tools?

A simple example, if PMOG allowed me to associate my last.fm listening feed with my PMOG profile, listening to a song could count as triggering the appropriate last.fm URL.

Similar triggers could be made when for adding a book to LibraryThing, a link to del.icio.us (*), or favoriting a YouTube video.

For a simpler solution, maybe PMOG only needs to link into FriendFeed :D

Of course, all this wouldn't be an in-your-browser trigger, so how could/should these triggers be handled differently?

I'm sure there would be lots to hash out before going down this road. Anyone else think there's something in this?

(*) "but surely you've visited the page to do this?" I hear you ask - I can think of scenarios where this wouldn't be the case, e.g. I added the page from Internet Explorer (koff! :) - but I realise the del.icio.us suggestion is the least useful of these
