Over the last six months, it seems like every Web site is adopting the notion of a “newsfeed.” These feeds keep me informed about the status/actions of all my friends and relationships. I have a Facebook newsfeed. I have a Twitter feed. I have a LinkedIn feed. And even more recently, a new category of products called feed aggregators have arrived. These aggregators, such as FriendFeed and SocialThing, allow you to track your feeds across multiple sites. There has even been a spoof site that aggregates the aggregators.

About Voices

This is a section of the AllThingsD Web site featuring posts that have been curated from around the Web: pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Five posts are included here each weekday, but only the headline and the first two sentences. We link to the original site for the rest. The section is explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that content comes “from other Web sites.”

We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions. Voices is edited by Beth Callaghan.
