What's interesting is that new posts are added to the search index in real time. Twitter used to have this (Track) but couldn't scale it; they're testing it and may reintroduce it. For FriendFeed to have put this out I think they must be confident it can scale.

"For FriendFeed to have put this out I think they must be confident it can scale." I am not sure FriendFeed has to worry too hard about that yet, compared to Twitter: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/friendfeed.com+twitter.com/ http://siteanalytics.compete.com/friendfeed.com+twitter.com/

  Friendfeed does have to think about it compared to Twitter at the time they removed Track, more than a year ago. Even then Twitter had more traffic, but it wasn't nearly as dramatic a difference as in the more recent part of that graph.
