Who will Friendfeed compete with? Plaxo requires login but aggregates all networks, Friendfeed aggregates public info (and maybe someday login required data). Flock, which requires download also aggregates your network into one place. What site could be the biggest threat to Friendfeed? I say web email sites like Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and MS Mail.

Google Wave. No, I am not kidding.
- Ben Parr
Ben, yes for sure.
- Jeremiah Owyang
FF would not compete with those sites if integration with blogging applications was better.

Agree with Ben, Google Wave has all the bells and whistles, I'm waiting for it to unfold
- Julie Williams
Ben Parr: agree wholeheartedly, it's public, it's shared, it's conversations, it sucks things in
- Mark Essel
can friendfeed and google wave play nice? sorry first week with two puppies, that's the best vocabulary I can muster.
- Mark Essel
FriendFeed can leverage many google wave technologies and package them in a way that is not designed for internal communication/information consumption (which the current google wave client is designed to do)
- Chris Saad
Facebook as well.
- Louis Gray
are they going to open up their walled garden? http://www.victusspiritus.com/2009...
- Mark Essel
FriendFeed already competes with Facebook news feed - but it has none of the bloat - it is designed for someone to aquire it and deliver the facebook newsfeed experience for the openweb (Hint: Google)
- Chris Saad
My vote is Wave. But it's a premature, ignorant prediction.
- phil baumann
I think it's the Whole Web~~

Chris said it.
- Wade Dorrell
ff vs. the Whole Web K.D.?, madness!
- Mark Essel
Jeremiah, thanks a lot , your post sparked a conversation that's driving my attention away from my feed reader and a blog post about a new education/support infrastructure for entrepreneurs based on VC like support (not the capital, the knowledge of startup cycles/networking/market)
- Mark Essel
ACtually KD is on to something, if web sites as destinations go away, FF has that opportunity. Mark, sorry bud :)
- Jeremiah Owyang
@Mark Essel One evidence is that I look for content from the Whole Web(via search engine, digg,etc) in the past, but now I only go to friendfeed for content. For me, ff has won the competition against the Whole Web.
- K.D.
ahh but what is ff without the rest of the web?
- Mark Essel
it's a wonderful indexing service that brings information important/interesting/pertinent straight to your door. it's a personalized information delivery service (fantastic). folks go from ff to my blog, that's fine by me. What I'm trying to peddle is the hardest sell, ideas.
- Mark Essel
Google wave esp. with open API.
- Andrew Wilson
interesting analysis.. im not sure if friendfeed will ever go mainstream becuz to understand it means that you understand way more than the average internet users.. twitter is for the masses cuz anyone can write a few words and send out a tweet.
- Jason Pollock
Probably Google Wave
- Michael
Yes, Google Wave
- Svartling
passive entertainment
- Patricia
Good question, Jeremiah. Right now, no one. Google Wave if people run with it might be a competitor, but if they don't and Google does what it normally does with the technology on their own (little to nothing...Jaiku or Orkut, anyone?) then probably not.
