I always look at friendfeed as the beginning of something that I could broadcast to my friends that don't haunt the web that much. What if you could take the feed and somehow turn it into a show, where a more passive web viewer could just watch?
- nostrademons 18y agoThat's what the FaceBook app is for, presumably. I've had one of my cousins tell me that it was kinda-sorta useful for keeping tabs on my computer-related comments elsewhere on the net.
- aswanson 18y agoBut what if you and your friend are not on Facebook? What if you want to give them a feed of your pandora channels, some videos you liked, and 2 or 3 articles without them having to navigate at all once they got the feed? This person has no net prescence and you just want to set up a tv channel for them to enjoy. The interface would be as simple as "turn to channel me" and that's it.
- nostrademons 18y agoWow, that sounds creepy when you put it like that.
- aswanson 18y agoHow so?
- nostrademons 18y ago"Interface would be as simple as 'turn to channel me'" Sounds like The Truman Show. That, and every scare article about Millenials being the most spoiled, self-aggrandizing generation ever. Doubly creepy because that's basically reality now - a lot of us now broadcast are thoughts, opinions, daily activities, and so on to the whole web. It just seems a lot more normal when I say "Oh, I added the FriendFeed FaceBook app" then when you say "Turn to channel me."
- aswanson 18y agoYou are reading "me" wrong. I meant "me" really as in "we", like this is cool stuff you will enjoy based on our shared tastes. Not, a "look at me" vanity fair type of play.
- brlewis 18y agoWhat I did a few days ago was to create a friendfeed account for my family email list, and set it up to get weekly email summaries. The first summary hasn't arrived yet, or I'd tell you how it's going.
