Following the first installment in this series, here is the second part. In this part I will focus mainly on Bookmarking and News services supported by FriendFeed . Here we go
Supported bookmarking services by FriendFeed
1. Del.icio.us
2. Furl
3. Google shared stuffs
4. Mag.nolia
5. Stumbleupon
Except google shared stufss, all of the rests require just an username to generate the access point for retrieving user’s bookmarked items. And for the google shared stuffs, it requires the fully functional url of the feed available from your google bookmark service.
Access points
AP: http://feeds.delicious.com/rss/<user name>
example: http://feeds.delicious.com/rss/anduh
FurlAP: http://rss.furl.net/member/<user name>.rss;
example: http://rss.furl.net/member/pigge.rss
Google Shared Stuffs
you can find your google shared stuff url from http://www.google.com/s2/sharing/stuffexample: http://www.google.com/s2/sharing/stuff?user=110703083499686157981&output=rss
Ma.gnoliaAP: http://ma.gnolia.com/rss/lite/people/<user name>.rss;
example: http://ma.gnolia.com/rss/lite/people/gerryquach
Stumbleupon
Whoops, Double Whoops, Tripple Whoops. It took quite a time for me to find the feed url. I dont know why it is kept so “SECRET” - LOLAP: http://www.stumbleupon.com/syndicate.php?stumbler=<user name>.rss;

2. Google Reader
3. Mixx
4. Reddit
Here are the access points

Google ReaderYou can find your shared item’s feed url here http://www.google.com/reader/view/user/-/state/com.google/broadcast
MixxUnfortunately during the time of writing this article, Mixx was napping - here is the screenshot. Once they are awake, I will update this section
RedditAP: http://www.reddit.com/user/<user name>/.rss;

In next installation I will focus on scaling such a huge load successfully. Hope that will be interesting to many of you. Following installation will focus again on the access points.
