[…] One of the kids at the Day Job actually asked me if I’d ever been to SXSW. (Never visited the Mothership, but have been to a few of their regional events, like NXNE in Toronto.) When I said that a few of my friends had gone when I was in college, they asked me about the kinds of code they discussed at panels. At least online, the Interactive element of SXSW has become so dominant, eighteen-year-olds actually believe that the music portion of the conference is just a party for the dot-com people. […]

SocialThing is better than FriendFeed…

There I said it. Is it true? You tell me.
Comparing FriendFeed to SocialThing is not like comparing gelato to ice cream (regular, fatty kind). Rather, they are really two sides of the same coin. FriendFeed aggregates your activities. SocialThing aggreg…

great or not so great, FriendFeed is very good for *mission impossible* - recovering and pulling closer your ex-community if you were forced to leave: I have very good result on recovering my Livejournal friends back to me (and making new one’s) after leaving out from SUP-ized Livejournal

Friendfeeder acquired 5 million in venture capital. I don’t get this venture capital investment idea. Do you really need 5 million to run a website?

I’ve been using http://www.swurl.com. It’s in early beta, but it has a lot of the same functionality with friends, tracking and commenting. However, there is a very cool timeline visual interface which sets it apart from FriendFeed. It can be a bit heavy as it loads a ton of data - hopefully they will optimize this in the future: http://barefootceo.swurl.com/timeline.

They definitely have a great idea, but the design needs much work… it’s to simple, and all the posts are to close together… they need to be separated by a divider to better help organize the hustle and bustle of all the feeds.

FriendFeed vs. SocialThing…

There has been a lot of discussion recently about two new services, FriendFeed and SocialThing. Both sites provide ways to aggregate your friend’s activity across a variety of Web 2.0 sites. However the two sites are not exactly the same, and tak…

How on earth…? What’s not to like about friendfeed? It works.

Right. How do I vote 400 times?

Friendfeed was, at launch, already a good and capable product, but with what seems like a weekly launch of new features, it is growing even more useful. More importantly, the guys behind Friendfeed have a great work ethic and really care about making their service work how the users want it to.

Since people are still arguing about “community,” break it down by money. How many of the services aggregated in FriendFeed are ad-supported? If all the conversation takes place on FriendFeed and not the services themselves, there are no actual eyes on the sites and services being aggregated. No eyes = no CPM and then the service does what?

There seems to be this constant flocking to the latest “community builder” but the reality is that adding another layer makes the original community moot. It’s the throwaway society we live in. OHNOZ! I’m following too many people on TWITTER! I need to start over. Whatever happened to just weeding out the Twitter feeds and managing your profile?

A useful aggregator to me would be one that worked with ALL social networking and social media sites, not just some, and also provided me single sign on to the sources of the feeds when I want to know more. That is more usful functionality that just a stream of banality from people who think everyone cares what they are doing.

Yet another service for people with too much time on their hands.

Don’t blink. Because you’ll miss them when their “we’re closing because nobody wanted to keep funding something without any chance of being profitable”

First round funding seems relatively easy for these sites.

Then the “greater fool” theory kicks in.

Problem is, it gets increasingly harder to find “fools” to invest in me too sites….
