FFHolic - Friendfeed on the rocks!

Information overload.

"Huge news in the world of social media today: FacebookFacebook has acquired online activity aggregator FriendFeedFriendFeed."

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.

Many people ask how other twitter users can have so many updates a day. Do they have nothing else to do, only tweeting. In my article"Combine twitter, friendfeed, twitterfeed and RSS" I described how to bring your blog or webpage articles automatically in twitter. Today I will show how to automatically retweet articles.

Why gets to what friendfeed has done that's its most brilliant invention and one that very few people understand. It's so good I wonder why they haven't patented it. I call it decentralized moderation.

Sweet Mac/iPhone desktop Twitter/Friendfeed app.

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.

Facebook seems to get more similar to FriendFeed every day. The latest, the addition of an "I like this" link on News Feed items, is one of the more significant challenges to the lifestreaming service yet, as it essentially duplicates a major component of what makes FriendFeed tick - a simple, one-click display of indicating your liking of a specific item in a stream of activities and a view of all of the other people that have also liked it.

Spy can listen in on the social media conversations you're interested in. What do you want to listen for? .. Twitter, Friendfeed, ...

I'd like a web page (not API call) such that if I post a feed URL to it via an HTML form, the friendfeed user will be asked where to add the feed (home feed, room, ...) and then sent back to a page I specify in another post variable.
