Good old fashioned, FeedBurner-killing fun… FriendFeed is pretty, useful, very functional, and (if you don’t have it) has to be the next step in remarkably neato spaghetto coolness for your social media collection of rad.
Features? Well -
- The “Recommended” is pretty awesome, allowing you to check out the who of those you’re subscribed to and find out the they that are interesting to them.
- Stats - YAY!!! STATS! Who doesn’t love some stats? These stats are a little different than what you’d think though, they’re more… demographic than “how popular you are” and THAT is frigginfantasiculous!
- Imaginary? Yes.. You can make imaginary friends, but these ones are based on real life friends (or virtual friends with RSS feeds), that don’t YET have a FriendFeed, and you’d like to follow.
There are 28 features (as of this post, obviously) that are available to add in your FriendFeed stream to share with others… Here’s a short list:
- Twitter… duh! (oh… Pownce & Jaiku too)
- Blogs and Tumblr
- Flickr and Zoomr
- YouTube
- del.icio.us and Digg
- Your damn NetFlix queue
- Yelp
- Last.fm
- Etc… etc… etc
There’s also some handy tracking stuff, you can email your feed to yourself daily, and do other neato stuff, like… SIGN UP FOR IT! For those of you that have a twitter feed, blog, or pretty much any RSS output from your online life (that fits within the services rendered), get this thing, and be happy. It’s a great aggregator - simple, nice, clean way to share your findings, writings, postings, and listenings with people that care about stuff like that, like me… and yea.
