VentureBeat: Analysis: Plaxo and Friendfeed, pushing the “feed”

  • Tim · 1 year ago
    I agree that the "web feed" concept will be the next big thing. However, I like Spokeo's reader approach much more than Friendfeed and Plaxo's community approach. It's just so much simpler to use.

    I blogged about this a few weeks ago:

    If it's a public event there's no reason that there shouldn't be a public RSS feed for this content.

    I'd love to have Spinn3r aggregate this content.

    A very nice piece. I think the opportunity here is large (and about to get larger). As we finally settle upon standards for dat portability, we will see the emergence of an open "Social Web." And for that, there will need to be one or more dashboards that: 1) aggregate streams of content from multiple sites; 2) give users a central place to manage assertion of relationships; and 3) provide clearing houses for "friending" in a way that dispenses with bac'n.

    Interesting article, thanks. Maybe Facebook should integrate an option for users to add feeds and data from external services to its neews feed? This would make Friendfeed and Plaxo Pulse obsolete, wouldn't it?

    I finally had the chance to blog about this:

    I think friendfeed is the way to go and everything is so seamless.

    Hey does anyone have information on the new business social network virtudex.com? I tried to sign up but I don't have a code or invitation and I don't wanna pay $20 on eBay.

    @Bill Tisch - don't bother with Virtudex as it smells badly based on the minor research I've done so far.
