FriendFeed

FriendFeed aims to be a one stop shop for all your social networking updates and news items. The four founders were all team members at Google and helped to launch such products as Google Maps, Adsense, GMail and Google Groups. They’ve brought their expertise to a slightly different area: social network aggregating.

FriendFeed is a service which, instead of layering a meta-network on top of all your other social networks, will create a news feed incorporating them all much like the facebook news feed. It’s an idea that isn’t too difficult or bothersome for social network users to adopt.

Users tell the feed which networks they belong to (Facebook, Digg, Last.fm etc) and FriendFeed personalizes your data feed with info from each of the sites.

Other companies, such as Spokeo, ProfileLinker, MyLifeBrand and the more recent Fuser, are trying to help you organize your online social identity as well, all in different ways.

Just did a review comparing social search sites Delver and FriendFeed for research purposes in the October issue of The Information Advisor. I concluded that FriendFeed, at least at this point, is far and away the superior site for doing social search for serious research purposes.

FriendFeed is on a tear. These smart guys are doing something that is adding true value. Functionality such as being able to "like" an item and add comments allows me to discover other people that are interested in an item and what they thing. Imaginary friends is also a nice feature as well as the service recommending friends. This is so far the best social aggregation tool that I have seen yet. Simple in design and execution. Which is exactly what I would expect from a couple of ex Google Guys. Cheers! Rodney Rumford
