FriendFeed Traffic Is Actually Up Since The Facebook Deal
- veb 16y agoIsn't the difference between FriendFeed and Facebook is that FriendFeed is actually innovative?
- samratjp 16y agoOk, I am really getting sick of TechCrunch spinning off articles from Quora. It was cute with the Netflix stuff (http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/04/quora-netflix/ http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/04/quora-netflix/). Then came the AOL CDs (http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/27/aol-discs-90s/ http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/27/aol-discs-90s/), now this is just too easy. Come on guys, you can do better. I am not saying this isn't good stuff, but just that your loyal readers notice these patterns. If you are going to continue this, at least contribute back to Quora more.
- genieyclo 16y agoFriendFeed is really a special place in the narrative of Internet sites with large social networks. It introduced so many new ideas and was the fastest and easiest way to get news and see all the ripples of information passing online. You would see the beginnings of viral content early on FF better than anywhere else, and its commenting and sharing features are unreplicated anywhere else. Was truly an amazing place when I used it heavily for 2 years back in 08. I did notice a heavy influx of Turkish and Italian users in the latter days of pre-acquisition era. Still a pretty good tool, but its best features were the people to follow who would help curate the news sources for you and have discussions, but most of the old English-speaking guard have left unfortunately.
