ADVERTISEMENTS



FriendFeed is a new entrant to the web 2.0 social networking arena, and seems quite useful. The FriendFeed service tracks and aggregates content from people’s accounts across different web services.

Upon signing up for FriendFeed, you can add a list of services to your account (Twitter, YouTube, Picasa, Google Reader shared items, etc) by providing your usernames, and you get an aggregated feed listing the latest activities. You can share this feed with others, and also subscribe to similar feeds from your online buddies.

With the expanding number of web 2.0 services you’re using, sharing stuff with friends only gets tougher. To share activity across sites, you’ve to give away different URLs to your friends (for e.g., one for del.icio.us, one for twitter and so on).

But now, thanks to FriendFeed – sharing your stuff and following your friends’ activities can get easier – since the content from multiple services are combined into one single feed.

FriendFeed also has a neat Facebook App that you can add to your Facebook profile page. There’s also an iGoogle Gadget to add to your iGoogle page. You can find my FriendFeed page here

FriendFeed is running on beta. To request an invite, follow this link. What’s your view on FriendFeed? Have your say in the comments.
