With the birth of my daughter Kaylee just 2 weeks ago, this problem surfaced, how do I archive all of her pictures, videos and twitter posts? The two ideas I had were, put all this content online via a cms system such as drupal, or just use a newly created gmail account for picture storage and her journal notes. Friendfeed is perfect for such this task, after all it is a content aggregator. The main factor for me is the ability to keep the feed private. You choose what friends or family members can see in the archive.

Let’s get started
- Go to friendfeed.com and register a new account.
- Uncheck the box “Make my feed public”
- Once logged in to friendfeed, select “Share something“
- Add the appropriate services to your feed.
That’s it. You now have a digital private online archive.

[...] that might be a bit far fetched at this point, I noted on Mike Fruchter’s blog that “FriendFeed is just starting to scratch the surface of its full capabilities.” [...]
Mike – Congrats on the new addition!

Please help me understand how this is a digital archive. Since you're subscribing to the Picasa feed, doesn't the archive already exist at Picasa?

Anyone want to answer Chad's question? It's a good point because I can't see how friendfeed is an archiver when other sites actually hold the information.
Andy, any contents of any entry that you post directly to the Site, including any text, images, photos, videos and audio, are stored and maintained on Friendfeed servers.

I don't think this is true because in the post the author talks about subscribing and not hosting the pictures on friendfeed.
