List your FriendFeed alternative here:
*blink...blink* - Josh Haley
Google Reader - andy brudtkuhl
Facebook LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Akiva
There is none. - Kol Tregaskes
SocialMedian and Strands - Anika
Bonfires - Rodfather
There's an alternative? That's the problem...today's announcement threatens something that most of us have found to be without equal. - S of 2C
Facebook and twitter. But they don't add up to what Friendfeed is. - Mathew™ aka Youngblood
There really isn't one. Maybe Google in a year or so. Google account with Voice, Wave, Reader, GTalk better integrated. - Tinfoil 2.0
Google Reader and Facebook have been absorbing Friendfeed features slowly but steadily all along. In 15 years someone will dig up some old screenshots and say "remember all those? heh, yah, things sure have changed, huh?" - Jason Wehmhoener
I dunno. Tumblr, maybe? Metafilter? Chi.mp? Likaholix? *shrugs* - Steven Perez
Like Scott said, that's the problem. There *is* no good alternative. FF has been the closest thing I've ever found for using the internet the way I want to. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Google, as it continues to socialize its environment. Also, don't forget about the next big thing we haven't seen or thought about yet. Someone will innovate another service that blows everything else away (like FriendFeed does now). - Larry Hawes
Posterous + Twitter???? - Roberto Bonini from iPhone
I may just have to try something desperate... like real-life interaction. I know! It's such a desperate move! :'( - Ladyepiphanybug
I think, considering the amazing accumulation of skilled people here, we should consider building one, not migrating. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
Blellow? - andy brudtkuhl
Good idea..... - Roberto Bonini from iPhone
Google Wave, right? - Nathan Chase
NoseRub - Ken Sheppardson
Meemi.com - catepol from iPhone
<Placeholder> - Bwana ☠
Besides Google Wave, I don't think anything anyone is naming would be even close to the same. - Rah-PM 2012
FaceFeed? - Kevin J Hatton
FriendBook? - Kevin J Hatton
What Nate said...Google Wave.....it is coming!!!!!! - Kevin J Hatton
ICQ - Jacque
Good shout, Nathan! Yes Google Wave. - Kol Tregaskes
Jaiku - It can import feeds. It has threaded conversations. - Morton Fox
Redux.com? Mostly for entertainment though - Wang Yip
jaiku is the closest thing - feed import, rooms, conversations etc... - don't see how wave can work like friendfeed without a lot of add-ons / hacking - Adrian
jaiku's been neglected by google. I've been a member for 2 years and yes, nothing has changed. - AJ Batac :)
the closest thing to FF that I know about is the blogoscoped Forums !! - Peter Dawson
jeffisageek.net and jeffisageek on twitter - (jeff)isageek
When did Noah build the ark? Before the rain, not after it. - Steven Perez
Twitter, but it's not nearly as cool as FF. :( - Kevin Winn
Drum circle - Rodfather
Useful list:) - Ozgur Uckan
I've decided to taste some soup. - Kenton
Bowling league - Rodfather
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE there is NO freakin' replacement for FriendFeed. *cries* - Susan Beebe
WoW - Rodfather
Posterous - LouCypher
is Iminta.com still around? - Nathan Rein
Google Reader - Mike Reynolds
I think I'll go with AJ's choice above, the closest thing I know to FF is Lifestream.fm but didn't like it the last time I was on it. - Kol Tregaskes
I didn't even know Jaiku was still a going concern. - cheapsuits from iPhone
I've had an account with lifestream.fm for ages but I have not been there for about a year, time to go and have a look then - M F
google Wave - Furkan Tunalı
For you guys who says Google Wave, it's not yet available to the public so we can't use it. - AJ Batac :)
Lifestream.fm Looks really similar in terms of features, like Kol and AJ said. - Anton
checked out lifestream... seems alright, I suppose... but not really the same. just what I"m doing. doesn't seem to be very "conversation" based. - Nathalie
I don't have one. :( - Christian (Simply X) from Android
I just found this one from Mark -> http://lifestreamblog.com/create - AJ Batac :)
Storytlr is another place to feed in all your different places. People can comment and things, but, how to see all your friends? I think you can add it to GReader. Here's mine: http://yolanda.storytlr.com/ - Yolanda
storytlr is a good one. - Nathan Rein
AJ: Google open-sourced Jaiku ... they really don't do anything besides host the code now. - Kevin Mohr
Kevin: Even when it wasn't open-sourced, it wasn't updated. - AJ Batac :)
Friendster. And perhaps GooglyfaceFeed? :P - imabonehead
Unfortunately Jaiku hasn't gotten back the capability for importing feeds. And even in its best days its feed handling wasn't as good as FriendFeed's basic feed handling. This admission is saying something, since I've been such a Jaiku evangelist, until its problems got too big and destroyed the community there. I actually was kind of pissed off at FriendFeed when I first learned about it because it was getting all this buzz for doing the same thing that Jaiku did, albeit with a very stripped-down UI. Of course FF quickly improved upon and surpassed Jaiku's features, and I became a FF enthusiast. This buyout by Facebook, while probably giving the FF devs a great feeling of accomplishment, scares me because of my previous experience with Jaiku's downfall. - Cheryl Jones
Until I get a Wave invite, I'm considering Google Reader (which has notes, tags, likes, follows) + Google Profile + Posterous (which duplicates FF's autoposting). - Ahsan Ali
Considering rolling my own. PubSubHubbub is merely infrastructure; Wave isn't ready; Google Reader is more like digg/reddit, needs more ability to host its own content in addition to discussion; posterous and tumblr are really blogs, and are still kind of isolating; The real problem would be getting people to use a federated, distributed setup: there's a usability and consistency aspect to a having a single destination website where people can congreate; that, and I'm kind of lacking time. - Andy Bakun
+1 Andy. FriendFeed is a very unique amalgam of features, that once you come to appreciate them, are glaringly lacking on most other social platforms. Agreed that distributed would be a good idea to avoid the cost and control issues we have seen play out yesterday. Who knows, maybe Zuckerberg will surprise us all by making FF (by whatever name) an open building block in the FB ecosystem that e.g. FB users could opt in to. Most FB users don't (yet) want that level of speed, heck, my Twitter-to-FB piped status updates are too much for many of them. - Alex Schleber
Here is a new development to possibly add to the list: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Alex Schleber
Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader and Digg - Joe Dawson
http://enjoy.sthin.gs or whatever its name is written? I'll try it out, just signed up - Friendfeed's Francisco
