MySocial24×7, which launched early Tuesday morning, is a Firefox extension that allows users to access most FriendFeed functionality via their API directly from the browser sidebar.
Users can filter the view by type of data (Twitter, RSS feeds, YouTube, etc.), can comment or bookmark any entry, and can also reply via Twitter.
This is one of many desktop based solutions coming out for FriendFeed (we’ve covered two Adobe AIR applications, Twhirl and AlertThingy, as well). Some people will love the sidebar functionality, although I use it for bookmarks so the AIR applications are a better fit.
But this is certainly a nice tool for the FriendFeed junkies. Thumbs up.
The application, created by Sandosh Vasudevan, is built on Google App Engine.
Excellent indeed…
and built on GAE for desktop?… intereting dev cycle!
This seems like Flock. Does is take friendfeed credetials to fetch data or its only similar to friendfeed?
Nice work! Now I have 3 extensions that live in the sidebar
1. AIO
2. iMacros
3. MySocial
Hey! Imeem is down since last couple of hours…does it matter? or is it usual?
Soon the word friend might become a four-letter word with so much of our lives consumed by what they do rather than what we do
so many people are jumping the friend wagon….I think I can’t hide anywhere…
Another site FlavorHome has created friendstream as home page flavor…http://www.FlavorHome.com
I am all tired….need to go to secluded beach and read my book…
@Jim, wow, you use FF and only 3 extensions? I have 20 on my work computer and I consider that a “light” install! Not sure I’d even use FF if it weren’t for the extensibility.
Seems cool, but it won’t install on my Firefox 2.0.0.14 (Windows) and installs but won’t update on my Macbook Pro’s Firefox 3 beta 5. In fact in keeps showing “Louis Gray” as a friend in my FriendFeed. Who is Louis?
OR
You could use Flock, and it further (and better) integrated.
Just a thought.
Updated, fixed several bugs including:
* Can’t post, “like” to Friendfeed
* Twitter authorization fails
* Can’t install on Firefox 3.0 and above
New version is available (v 0.51) at http://www.dave...al/0.51/mysocia...
