Friendfeed introduce a new design for Friendfeed at http://beta.friendfeed.com/ on April 06, 2009. The newly re-designed friendfeed beta version looks a lot like Twitter. Forget the refresh button. All pages now update in real-time. You'll see your friends' photos and messages stream in as they're shared. Comments and likes also get displayed as they happen.

Great discussion of Twitter against the backlash. Just heard a scathing account in NPR this morning from an uninformed journalist describing Twitter as passé like Second Life! It's all what you make of it.

From the creators of TwitterCounter - the popular chiclet that displays your Twitter follower count (see our sidebar) - comes TwitterRemote, a very simple widget that functions much like MyBlogLog, except it shows you recent visitors to your site that are also Twitter users.

On the other hand, social networks like Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, and micro-blogging site Twitter are growing at exorbitant rates while continuing to suffer from criticism by mainstream business as time-wasting black holes exposing people to career risk with unproven business return.

One of the benefits of creating an open, simple, highly adaptable service like Twitter is the fact that once it takes off, people will try to do a lot of interesting things with it.

No, we aren't going to let you take a break from checking out new social-status services; especially not when a new one is bringing something actually interesting to the table. Rejaw, just launched this week, describes itself as "a new way to chat with your friends, family, and coworkers." Combining short, Twitter-like messages with instant updates via custom push technology, Rejaw may have hit the sweet spot at the intersection of dead-simple, web-based microblogging and conversation.

A head to head comparison between meme and Twitter but as usual, you have the final say to what you think and prefer. What's important is that you share it with the rest of us!

Ning adds a whole raft of apps for their social network users to leverage. These include apps for popular services like Twitter, Ustream, Box.net, etc.

Here's what you need to do these 5 steps: * A Google account * A Yahoo! account * A Stumbleupon account and the toolbar * A Facebook account (c'mon, you don't have one?!) * A Twitter account These steps take a total of 10 minutes a day, because that's all I can stand

FriendFeed has recently launched a search feature, and so Facebook search must be coming soon. Real-time Web search (of streams of activities) is a hot topic right now. Everyone, including Google and Microsoft, recognizes the value of using trusted contacts as filters. What was once called social search is now called real-time search, but this time it will really happen. First, it will be applied to streams and then to the Web in general. What we are about to get is a Social Relevancy Rank. Whenever you search streams of activity, the results will be ordered not chronologically but by how relevant each is to you based on your social graph. That is, people who matter more to you will bubble up. How does this work? Well, there will be a formula, just as there is a formula for Page Rank.
