Custom RSS/Atom in FriendFeed

ffservicesFriendFeed currently supports 58 services to share. When I first saw the list I was amazed at the large quantity of options. After using FriendFeed for a few weeks I noticed that some were sharing their Amazon Wishlist. I don’t have an Amazon Wishlist myself but got the idea to share my ThinkGeek Wishlist. After a quick visit to FriendFeed’s Services page I discovered that ThinkGeek was not a supported service. Luckily ThinkGeek gives each wishlist an RSS feed. With that RSS feed from ThinkGeek I was able to use the Custom RSS/Atom service in FriendFeed to begin importing my ThinkGeek wishlist.

What other services do you use that aren’t officially supported by FriendFeed that you are able to import with the Custom RSS/Atom option?
