Evaluating FriendFeed
FriendFeed aggregates content from 35 sources (no facebook?).
It then shows the feeds from these applications. I only see my own content…?
Because they use public feeds, no really interesting information is shown. Petty – kinda missing the friend in FriendFeed. Would they use my credentials to access these services, the information would become usefull for me.
For example: Picasa Web Albums contains my public albums, my private albums and albums shared with me – by my FRIENDS. I only see my public albums. That really doesn’t add any value now does it.
FriendFeed allows me to import my Gmail contacts. Then they suggest I connect with the few of them already using FriendFeed and invite the other 423 contacts to start using FriendFeed. Wow. Boring. I want them to use this contact information to automatically construct a FriendFeed for me based on the services they have access to. Automatically find sites and profiles of these friends.
Conclusion: a nice try, but not worthy of the name FriendFeed. I don’t want to invite my contacts. I don’t want to bother them. But I would like to know what they do online.
