FriendFeedLinks: A Memetracker For FriendFeed

Given the popularity of FriendFeed, it’s surprising that we haven’t seen many memetrackers appear for the site. Today French developer Michael Mortchelewicz has unveiled FriendFeedLinks, which attempts to fill that void.
Compared to other memetrackers like TweetMeme and RSSMeme, FriendFeedLinks has a very spartan interface. There are no summaries or discussions to speak of - just a link to each story and an expandable list that shows which members have linked to it. Users can search for keywords to filter the stories, but this is only helpful if the desired word is included in the story’s title.
FriendFeedLinks is a good start - it lets users quickly find popular stories and serves as a nice alternative to Digg. But unless it integrates more features in the near future, it probably won’t see much use.
i wouldn’t call the interface “spartan” so much as “familiar”… (you chose wording that indicated that the interface was somehow lacking or dumbed down.) Have you visited FriendFeed? The site you just reviewed looks near identical to service it’s “meme”-ing. All in all I agree with your post… I just can’t help but draw issue with you calling them out on their interface.
wow that headline is certainly something
just missing the word social
let me guess… an other “web 2.0″ $1.35 revenue per day adsense site
haven’t checked out friendfeed yet but it’s getting a little too much - can’t find any more time to work in between all that social stuff. I wonder when a social site will launch that pays my bills and payroll.

Shameless self-promotion:
Quotably has a twitter meme tracker as well: http://quotably.com/popular
This is a total trademark violation. I can smell a lawsuit in the future here.
Robert i agree on the risk, but the nature of the service is fine. actually i am sure FriendFeed will come up with something of its own. makes total sense to get smart info out of the noise
