Facebook users can now import YouTube, StumbleUpon, Pandora, Hulu, Last.fm, and Google Reader into the social network's Mini-Feed.

By doing this, Facebook users will be opening up their actions at these sites to their friends. The service, which was announced on Facebook's blog on Friday, is similar to one offered by FriendFeed.

Facebook had already included Flickr, Picasa, Digg, Yelp, and Del.icio.us. in Mini-Feed. Facebook executives have said that it intends to focus on adding data from third-party sites.

don't forget to tell the people how they FORCED the mini-feed to stay open instead of it being collapsible, as it was, like the other modules. this means we're forced to pay attention to actions we KNOW we did (duh) and those that we can see in the notifications already. it's a useless module that unnecessarily takes away the ability of users to customize their page as they see fit. if people wanted to gain access to those particular feeds, they can make the separate modules, if they're not already created, and let the people choose for themselves.
