What’s needed is something that can act as a master feed (to avoid the joys of synchronisation), ShareThis could be it for example, then all the other services need to pull in the feed from ShareThis and republish.

The other services would need work though e.g. in Google Reader, you’d need to be able to say that everything from a feed should automatically be shared etc.

It can’t be that hard it’s just that the rate of innovation amongst some of the mainstream products Reader, del.icio.us etc seems glacial compared to the likes of FriendFeed
