I setup friendfeed after reading about friendfeed vs twitter. I’ve been looking at a few companies for targeting technology to integrate into YieldBuild. None of the targeting companies are consumer facing, but I think they should be. They grab data from all the social networks. The most interesting ones build a profile of a user that connects feeds from all types of services like YouTube, your blog, Facebook, MySpace, Flicker etc.
Essentially, they have an automated way of setting up a friendfeed like service. The technology automatically finds correlations and ties the services together around a user. To me, this is what social search should be. The ability for my mother to search my images and look at flickr, facebook, picasa or any other place I put images. And, I shouldn’t have to setup all of my feeds in one central place to do it.
As for using Friendfeed or Twitter for short messaging. I think that these systems should be federated so you can use any messaging app you want to participate.
