Hi Zackatoustra,

Thanks so much for your message.

FriendFeed has been one of these tools that everybody signed up for but never really used; fortunately for FriedFeed, it looks like this is about to change…

I really like the fact FriendFeed helps me cut through the noise and I can now easily follow my favourite blogs from around the world!

I also use Facebook as an RSS Feed – despite my Facebook friends having nothing to do with Social Media, Facebook comes up as one of my top traffic sources.

Now I need to encourage my Facebook/real-life friends to start commenting on my blog!

Hi,
I’m definitely seeing FriendFeed as the new/next/potential next meta-social network.
Their new version is not only a redesign of the interface.
FriendFeed has been around for a lot of time, like almost as much time as the rss itself.
Anything “rss-able” is FriendFeed compatible. So, microblogging life stream, or any other of “public life stream”, that are, in essence, rss-able just fit in very naturally in the FriendFeed space.
From the new FriendFeed, you can tweet as much as you want, but you can also have a look at what your “digital firends” are doing and up to. Anything they do on their daliy web journey is available, as long as they DECIDED to make it public.
Which is one of the many many advantages THAT “lifestream” is so superior to F€¶«¡B@ôôk in trustfulness and pertinency

Anyhow, I am delighted with the new FriendFeed and the opportunity it gives me to :
keep completely up to date with all my netsocial activities
not regret my decision to unsuscribe from F€¶«¡B@ôôk, since I think I’ve found “my meta social network”…

There are a couple of missing feature, though, amongst which mails. Mails are “rss-able”. But, Gmail et Ymail are making really difficult for aggregators to access those rss. I think that now that we see one way of making the complete fusion of our net identities(and thus activities), Gmail and Ymail are not likely to help this trend…

(Damn, you almost made me write the micropost I wanted to write yesterday about my “love at first sight” with the new FriendFeed…)
