FriendFeed is about simple sharing and discussions. bbgm gives a great example in another comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=550126 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=550126
During the live show that lead up to this blog post, there was a very active realtime discussion on FriendFeed about the show (and MA's Twitter/FriendFeed claim): http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegillmor/1059c36c/gillmor-gang-will-record-monday-4pm-pacific-w http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegillmor/1059c36c/gillmor-gan...
Regardless of what people think of FriendFeed and these spontaneous, lightweight conversations, it's pretty clearly different from Twitter.
- goodkarma 18y agoFriendfeed is certainly different from Twitter, Paul - which is why posting Friendfeed comments to Twitter is a bad idea that shows people don't "get" Twitter. See http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=550118 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=550118 That said, Friendfeed is a lot more like Facebook. And in many ways, Facebook has evolved to become like Friendfeed. The social media aggregation and conversation features have a lot in common.
- user 18y agoI see a lot of talent getting wasted in the name of FriendFeed. I believe Paul is much more capable of building a billion dollar business :) I hope friendfeed succeeds !!
