The Fake and Fallow FriendFeed Review

| 10 Comments
If you aren't yet on FriendFeed -- you should be -- because that social networking site gets everything right in the proper way.

FriendFeed is faster and more robust than Twitter and FriendFeed is more interactively fiendish than LinkedIn.

FriendFeed takes all of your social networking information and shares it with your friends and the world.  Your feed is then filled with what you're doing and with what your friends are doing.


People can subscribe to your feed and you can add the people subscribed to you to your feed.


If you have "friends" that ignore your request that they sign up for FriendFeed, you can still deviously and deliciously add them to your FriendFeed as an "Imaginary Friend." 


You only need to know the public URLs for the social networks they favor and -- ZINGO! -- you have all new fake friends:


Then your "real" friends and your "fake" friends will all intermingle with you -- creating a whole new warped world spinning on the feral and in the fallow -- creating a FriendFeed update stream that will be read but, perhaps, not believed:


FriendFeed has a ton of social networks you can lash into your updates:


You can even bookmark cool sites you see and immediately add them to your FriendFeed flow:


FriendFeed also looks great on your iPhone:


I am using FriendFeed as my main social network right now and you can add my stream to your stream if you like:

FriendFeed is superfast, efficient, and I can post directly to Twitter from FriendFeed; I also pull my FriendFeed updates into my Facebook wall and I find I want to share more things more often because of the way FriendFeed so quickly integrates all the polymathic loves of my life.

I should get right on that so I can become a "real" friend :)

Don't bother, Gordon! We like the fake you we created so much better!

Sorry, David. I gotta keep it real! :) (And I never got the invite - maybe it got spamulated out?)

Gordons! FriendFeed was mentioned in the private portal.

I have decided I am Nadya Suleman and you are my sperm donor!

I realized, with FriendFeed, I don't really need THE YOU if I have YOUR ESSENCE!

We thank you for the seed of your feeds!

oh my goodness. I remember now! I put that on my mental to do list and then conveniently forgot :o I have created a real friendfeed and it is gordond

Well now you've ruined all my essence fun, Gordon!

Subscribe to me in your FriendFeed and I'll hit you back!

Interesting!

Imaginary friend??? What do they do?

Hi Katha!

Your imaginary friends do whatever you make them do! Some provide content you steal and put on your FriendFeed without them knowing, while others just sit there and look pretty!

Wow!!! I must get one!

We're waiting, my fake FriendFeed, friend, Katha! SMILE!
