The Unofficial Guide to Friendfeed: What Makes Friendfeed Special
- unalone 18y agoWhat makes this article special? It's basically just a prop piece for FriendFeed. A lot of these points are kind of airy, too. As you’ll find with most great social networking sites, it’s the community that makes the place. You won’t find A-Listers throwing their weight around or Z-Listers ignored, as long as you contribute and have something interesting to share - you’ll be paid attention to. In other words, just like Twitter or Tumblr or any opt-in network. Everyone has their own Friendfeed, no ones Friendfeed is the same. This is just silly. And again: it's saying nothing that isn't already on Twitter or Tumblr or Facebook. For every post, photo, video, message, song even product shared on Friendfeed there’s a possibility of great discussion stemming from it. ...Which, again, is something that Tumblr and Facebook already offer. I'm only naming the sites I'm really familiar with, but this is nothing unique. And so on. I mean, I'm biased: I have a open and active dislike of FriendFeed; I wrote an article advising people not to use it. But what does this really offer that we haven't seen about FriendFeed before? It's a waste-of-space article. Blogs like this are the worst they get. Overtly glitzy, overtly cluttered, posts that have no relevance whatsoever.
