FriendFeed – Simply Brilliant, Brilliantly Simple
FriendFeed is on the lips and fingertips of the world’s most popular bloggers and social publishers.
I fell in love with it in 15 seconds. Why? Because I could understand what it did and how I could use it in 6 seconds. FriendFeed is a bit like Twitter or Pownce except that it aggregates content from all of my ’social spaces’ (Digg, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, etc.) and publishes them in one river of news together with friends I add. It is so simple and easy it’s sickening. It’s one of those ‘damn I wish I had though of that’ sites.
Simply sign up (very easy process)…
Add your favourite services simply by typing in your username and clicking ’submit’…
A better view of all the services you can add to your profile…
And watch as your content is immediately published to the site…
You can also publish original FriendFeed content in the form of a Twitter-like post. Does it get any easier? Is this something you see yourself using? What would you change or add to make it even better?
My personal FriendFeed is friendfeed.com/mikestopforth – go get your ideal usernames while you still can!

Bravo bravo…I also fell in love within a few seconds, because of my partial attention disorder it just makes sense to me.
@Allan – i’m testing flock at the moment and yes it’s kinda the same thing but I’m still warming to flock (cos I miss my old FF extensions)

Very nice, pity it doesn’t plug into facebook feeds. Don’t think they would open themselves up like that though.

Also I think it has a wider application in terms of brand feeds etc. in terms of marketing activity…people just don’t have the time to plug into loads of different apps to keep up, Friendfeed has the ability to ease the pressure and consolidate the info.

[...] scoop. Thats another story altogether. My main gripe is that it is spoiling the kick-ass Friendfeed feeds. Sure, I’m pretty much tuned in on Twitter, so by the time it gets to [...]
