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.

Friendfeed's launch of realtime services has set off a serious horse race on the micromessaging platform. While the New York Times contrasts Twitter and Yammer as eyeballs versus revenue, or consumer v. enterprise, Friendfeed finds itself positioned as an attractive candidate for building scoped message hubs without an IT oversight requirement.

I know most of you have your profiles from long time on microblogging sites like twitter, Friendfeed, Identica, Plurk but what's the problem you have no followers only following, only you are fan and in more detail the problem with you, you do not have a good readership blog, peoples do not know you.

PubSub is a real-time search engine for syndicated (RSS/ATOM) content on the web. Our engine can find the latest posts from blogs and social media sites such as Twitter and Friendfeed, usually within minutes of their publication and sometimes within seconds. Think of it as a kind of feed reader - one where you tell us what you're interested in using simple search queries, and we'll find the relevant content out of the many tens of thousands of feeds we're constantly scanning. The Search page presents up-to-date search results in a single query format. The Real Time page allows you to create multiple standing searches, which you can then monitor as new results appear in realtime.

In recent months it's become apparent that a lot of people find themselves overwhelmed by too much information. Subscribe to too many RSS feeds and follow too many people of Twitter and FriendFeed and suddenly you find yourself struggling to keep up with what is mostly irrelevant nonsense. Louis Gray wrote a commonsense post on his blog this weekend: "You Control Your Noise Velocity". Louis' straightforward point is that rather than complain about too much noise, you should just make sure you only subscribe to as much as you feel comfortable with.

I love the Web and the fascinating number of useful and useless tools but it can also a huge time-suck and productivity killer. Like many digital animals, the Web constantly seduces you. Just when you've got e-mail and IM within your communications arsenal, you're using Twitter, Facebook and Friendfeed. Then, you've got Digg, del.icio.us, GMail, Google Reader, Mixx, et al to track and bookmark it all. At some point, it's overwhelming. It's impossible to be everywhere and anywhere, and embrace all the tools being used by the digerati. At some point, you just have to pick you digital weapons, and stick with them.
