Google AJAX is a javascript library of pluggable stuff.

I am somewhat embarrassed to admit I am now a facebook user! :-7 My excuse is that it's a great way to keep in contact with John in Australia. And share friendy/feedy/bloggy info with a group of people. And after using it (immediately and confirmed opinion after a few months) I'm of the opinion it's quite a good implementation of aggregation of blog + photos + friendy messaging.
