    Facebook learns from Friendfeed, or something

    July 21, 11:24 AM
     
     
     

    TechCrunch  should be required reading for anyone wanting to learn more about what’s happening in the online world, and the Twitter stream is a great digest.


    This story www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/21/the-friendfeedization-of-facebook/ is no exception. I like Friendfeed, but I’m having trouble integrating it into the daily fabric of my over-connected life. I’ll keep working at it, because it’s worth the effort, but I’m glad Facebook is bringing similar functionality into its platform.


    I like the idea of having a single (commentable) content stream for all of the stuff that’s happening with my friends and me, though I wonder if it’ll get unmanageable, or if things that I’d find compelling will be left out.
     

    We’ll see shortly.
