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.

Agree with Ben, Google Wave has all the bells and whistles, I'm waiting for it to unfold
- Julie Williams
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
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~~
- K.D.
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.
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.

Has Twitter Killed Blogging? Scoble Hasn't Posted In 5 Days!!! - http://www.siliconvalleywatcher.com/mt...

I was going through a list of venture capital blogs the other day and I found many were dead, hadn't been updated in months, some in years. But I also noticed that some of the owners of the dead blogs were still alive and active, they were on Twitter. Then I happened to look at Robert Scoble's blog, "Scobleizer." Robert was once the top tech blogger and very prolific, posting many times per day. But I was shocked at what I saw. The most recent entry on his blog was May 29, 2009! He hasn't posted since Sunday, 5 days ago!

I guess this guy doesn't use FriendFeed? :-)

He does not seem watching well as we all know Robert is very active on FF!

Is this a natural evolution? Since using Twitter I've moved away from RSS Feeds. I still blog, but the volume is way down, much more busy on Twitter and now FF.
- Elaine Young, Ph.D
Elaine: I'm the same - haven't used RSS for months. I'm always amazed how many people still read my blogs using RSS.

@JustAnother Hi Thanks for the tweet about FriendDeck. How can I improve FriendDeck?
I need to take a look again, but if I recall, I couldn't figure out how to get just a running feed to come up of all friends (like on the FF home page). Also, there were some odd layout issues that left gaps on the page. Thanks for getting in touch and I will try again soon and get back.

Hi Mario. It's funny seeing you in friendfeed and talking to you at the same time. :-) (Mario works at Current TV)
- Robert Scoble
i know! it's an odd situation. live in person, and on friendfeed. hilarious.
- mario anima
Hi Mario. Did my quick comment make sense? The idea is, with PeopleBrowsR, you potentially have a digital dossier of every citizen at your fingertips so you can background and filter out total nut cases like me; but other than than, *anyone* with a webcam can be pulled into the television talk-show discussion space with a click. Trivial for PB to include a pane or panel that fires up client-side webcam on demand.

Amazing.

Chris: I don't remember anyone having such an organization to sifting through public comments made on the web to push onto TV. I think this is a lot different than watching a chat room.
- Robert Scoble
Sorry for repost, but it's pertinent here. We need platforms that help to make rapid navigational and contextual sense of mashups like this http://tinyurl.com/inaugcog09 as well. Will ask PeopleBrowsr to pull in QIK.

Jeremy - The 280 char function is just one of BigTweet's features. I added a control to allow a user to limit themselves to 140 characters if they wish. I do appreciate concise posts, but occasionally find a need to say just a little more.

Louis thanks for the great review, you captured the essence of Glue wonderfully. One aspect that may not be completely clear for those who read the blog post is that Glue connects you to friend around the unique object rather than the website. So if you look at a movie on IMDb and your friend interacts with the same movie on Netflix Glue connects you.

Oh hey Fraser! :) Mathew: What's your username? Add me!

Hi Mona :) We're working on ways to better surface profile links, in the meantime here I am: http://bit.ly/1tKAeB

@Fraser, sorry if that part wasn't clear. I knew that, and the screenshots should have caught it, but I could have been more direct.

@Louis no problem at all. I knew you must have known it but just wanted to clarify in case anyone missed the screenshots. It's subtle while you use the system but when you realize what's going on you have a reaction like I had in this twitter update: http://bit.ly/wQGA :)
- Fraser
@Neal as Louis' review and Wired's (http://bit.ly/GlueWired) the power of Glue lies in its simplicity - as you browse pages about everyday things Glue automatically appears to show you which friends interacted with the same thing and what they thought.
- Fraser
@Neal right now it requires people to have associated their Glue profiles with their various online IDs and does the match that way. Possibly Mona hasn't claimed her twitter/ff/fb profile via Glue. We're exploring a few other options to make these links and are always open to suggestions :)
- Fraser
But...if I go to naughtymotherboards.net, are people going to know that?
- MiniMage
@MiɳuɘtMagɘ not at all. Glue only recognizes everyday things across popular sites. Items like books, movies, music, restaurants, stocks, etc. across sites like Amazon, IMDb, Netflix, Yelp, Last.fm, etc. On all other sites it's completely inactive. There's a list of supported sites that are local to your machine and only when you visit them does Glue parse the page and pass content to our servers. If you don't see the Glue bar (and you won't on naughtymotherboards.net) then it's inactive.
- Fraser
Sweet! Thanks. And OMG I didn't think there actually WOULD be a naughtymotherboards.net...I'm afraid to look.
- MiniMage
been using it for awhile but actually used it more before it morphed into Glue.
- Andrew Wilson
I KNEW I should have pinged that address BEFORE I hit "Post."

@MiɳuɘtMagɘ don't look. take my word for it. why do you think we took this responsible tilt towards privacy ;) (kidding, of course).

@Tony Jones: Because I have about a dozen sites I regularly visit (FF, twitter, facebook,...) and don't want to load up delicious every time I want to visit one (or type in the URLs). Too slow. I also have a folder with 3 news sites that I can ctrl-click on, in the morning, and they all open at once into tabs. Oh yeah, a few Bookmarklets too. With Foxmarks installed on all my browsers my regular sites are all there... in the same order even. However, all of my other bookmarks go into Delicious.

This is awesome. I have been hoping someone would bring back the fireside chat idea. I hope Obama really delivers to the nature of this new platform and not just the same old "presidential radio address" repackaged for video.

I just want a podcast (audio preferred, but video would work) so I can stick them on my iPod and listen to them in my car. The lack of ability to placeshift is STILL the biggest drawback to streaming-only platforms like YouTube.
- Josh Bancroft
Loving that idea a lot right now!! Yeah for a savvy Pres!! finally!!
- Susan Beebe
The Presidential weekly addresses are already available as podcasts (have been for 2 years, IIRC) The website is something like whitehouse.gov/podcasts. EDITED TO ADD: The audio files have been on the website for almost 10 years, and the transcripts have been available since whitehouse.gov went live.
- Anika
But Youtube works on iPhones. Can't download podcasts (yet) regularly on iPhones. Besides, I never wanted to listen to Bush. :)

The question is what will the comments be like, or will there be any?
- Andrew Wilson
Anika - thanks, I didn't know that the president already podcasts. I haven't wanted to listen before now. :-) Hope Obama continues to make things available that way.
- Josh Bancroft
It's not significantly different from the radio address, so it's clearly the hype (not pejorative) or rather the importance the candidate gave to feedback, that makes the difference. Unless they use the (poor) comment feature, YouTube really is nothing but a (heavily compressed) video host, or a nod to Google's profit line.
