"Ben Darnell, a key member of the Google Reader team, has left Mountain View to jump into startup life. Darnell bailed Google for FriendFeed, which was founded by ex-Googlers and notably in part by Kevin Fox, who used to work with him on the Google Reader team. Darnell is FriendFeed’s first hire in over a year, and will get employee badge number 13. He starts today, and according to the blog post announcing the steal, he’ll be bringing his “ninja-fu data-storage and scalability skills” to the startup." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

I'm sure it's already been done, but Fantasy start-up? - Shirley Wu

不是什么好消息了, Friendfeed应该是第一次被官方提到吧～查了一下，其实也不算是第一次，但不是作为科技新闻，而是在“媒体语境“里出现好像不多见～ - K.D. from Bookmarklet

ff的传播效应也不是那么大的。因为ff圈子效应很明显，大家订阅的源都差不多，内容很少重复，再分享的次数相对较少，点个like就可以说明很多问题了。所以我觉得相比满天飞RT的twitter，ff有它简洁、清晰的优势 - yagami

"One of these conversations took place last Thursday in the wake of FriendFeed’s announcement of what they call Realtime Search and what I call the return of Track. Paul Buchheit and his co-founder Bret Taylor have been on numerous editions of the Gillmor Gang talking about FriendFeed’s adventures in realtime, and since Bret will represent the startup at Friday’s event, I filmed Paul." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

Great post by Steve Gillmor and an excellent conversation with Paul Buchheit. The videos are almost like an episode of the Gillmor Gang with Paul getting pressed for answers about the FF feature roadmap. Great stuff! :) - Daniel Chow

Thank you =D - Shevonne

"Best of all, the service isn't asking you to change the way you do searches, and all saved searches on FriendFeed work, but they now execute in real-time and continue live updating as new entries are added to the service. For example, I could now embed a vanity search in my blog and see it in real time, thanks to FriendFeed." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

"FriendFeed was already the best way to learn what early adopter social media users were saying about any topic across blogs, Twitter, delicious and other diverse social media sites. If FriendFeed wants to step it up to the next level and challenge business-class conversation trackers, we believe there are four steps the company needs to take." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

"the coolest aspect of FriendFeed’s real-time search might be that you can extend it to your own website via an embeddable widget. To embed a search, you can simply click the “Share / embed search” option that accompanies each search result and grab the embed code" - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

"Given the large amounts of data that people already share on FriendFeed — whether from Twitter, YouTube, Flickr or dozens of other sites — and given FriendFeed’s low-latency, easy-to-use interface, this is one of the most useful ways yet to get genuine real-time information." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

"Ever since its redesign a few months ago, FriendFeed has been one of the standard-bearers of the real-time web. That’s because while a lot of sites claim to be real-time, FriendFeed is one of the few that actually updates continuously as data comes in. Starting today, any search you do will also get that same real-time treatment. Enter any query into FriendFeed’s search box and you’ll see a constantly updating stream of items related to it. It works for advanced searches too. Best of all, it also searches through comments left below items. And these results can even be embedded in other blogs, as you can see right now on the FriendFeed blog (or below in this post)." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

"Why FriendFeed Pillow? It's simple- It takes just a couple clicks to buy this FriendFeed pillow or to start a discussion about it. It’s conversational- Your friends comment on the pillow when you share it, and you see their awe in real-time. So talk with your friends about the FriendFeed pillow, not at them. It’s open- sleep and cuddle however you want — checking your email, on the phone or even with the Facebook pillow. Publish your FriendFeed pillow to your website or blog, or with pillows you already use." - Vedrana Janković from Bookmarklet

"How? No need to reinvent the wheel – you just need FriendFeed… After you post something to FriendFeed, just click the “Share” link and a popup will appear similar to the one below. Just copy the “Embed” code and drop it in your blog post. Now you are liveblogging on FriendFeed… Pretty cool right?" - Ana from Bookmarklet

"In fact, Iran is one of the service’s most active countries, and it is the most active region as defined by comments per user per day, according to Taylor. Now you can see why Iran apparently wanted to block it. FriendFeed is great at facilitating conversations around topics. The reason for this is that it’s so quick to post a comment and have it be added to a thread. While this can sometimes lead to an angry mob situation, it also can be extremely effective at having a conversation about an important topic in real-time. Except, of course, when the Iranian government blocks you. The only people getting on to FriendFeed from inside Iran now are apparently doing so through proxies." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

@Karoli. I'm with you re: results and whether they're the will of the people or the mob (or swarm) mentality in that both candidates have(had) serious issues with the concept of freedom and democratic governance. Since NO ONE becomes a viable candidate in Iran w/o the authorization of the mullahs, I would hazard a guess that the protesters on both sides are merely choosing between the... more... - Molly

"[Ridley] Scott, his brother Tony and his son Luke are developing the project in conjunction with the independent studio Ag8, which is run by one of the creators of “Where are the Joneses?” a British Web sitcom that solicited storyline suggestions from the audience. Similarly, “Purefold” will harvest story input from its viewers, in conjunction with the social media site FriendFeed." - Dan Hsiao from Bookmarklet

David, no problem. Thanks for choosing "the obvious choice"! :) - Dan Hsiao
