FriendFeed: Aggregating Social Networks Can be Overwhelming
At Google, Paul Buchheit built the first versions of Gmail and AdSense. Now, he’s working on FriendFeed, a company that he believes is bringing to market flowing, multi-person, real-time conversations that will eventually replace email.
FriendFeed, for those that don’t know it, says Read Write Web’s Marshall Kirkpatrick, is a combination of an aggregation tool bringing in information from around the Web, a big public conversation, and a publishing tool for original content. The service aggregates feeds from the different social networks you participate in, allowing your FriendFeed friends to engage with you on those networks whether they belong to the same social network or not.
