I read this while I was suffering form the side effects of the medicines prescribed to make me feel better.
2. Lifestreaming is bigger, but not via FriendFeed.
FriendFeed made a huge impact over the past year among the early adopter crowd, but lifestreaming is still yet to make its way into the mainstream. People are just now beginning to regularly use enough social services at once — YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, Digg, blogging — for aggregation to start to make sense. In 2009, it will be commonplace to publish your online life in a single stream, but it will be done via Facebook.Source: Sitepoint Tech Times Newsletter- 6 Jan 2009
When I first set up my Facebook account, I’d already been using FriendFeed for a while. And since Flickr and goodreads both fed to FriendFeed correctly while only posting once in a great while to Facebook, it just made more sense to me to feed FriendFeed to Facebook and save myself the headache.
That recently changed. goodreads has become far better about posting items to Facebook since they redesigned. Hopefully, Flickr will pleasantly surprise me once I finally upload my photos from the last month. I’m now trying to convince myself to remove FriendFeed from Facebook in favor of trusting the applications to do their jobs.
But I’m not giving up FriendFeed because I still have people who subscribe to it who aren’t on Facebook.
