Scobleizer — Tech geek blogger » Blog Archive Why FriendFeed will go mainstream (Part II) «

It’s very flexible. For instance, check out these links:

1. Everyone who has shared an item on Google Reader.
2. Everyone who has shared a song on Last.fm. or on iLike.
3. Everyone who has Tweeted on Twitter (do a test and see how fast yours shows up there).
4. Everyone who has shared a video on YouTube.
5. Everyone who has written a blog post.
6. Everyone who has put, or favorited, a photo on Flickr. On SmugMug. On Picasa.
7. Everyone who has posted something on FriendFeed itself (link or a note).
8. Everyone who has shared an event on Upcoming.
9. Everyone who has bookmarked an item on Del.icio.us.

So, why is FriendFeed going to go mainstream:

1. The team. Among the seven people who are currently working on FriendFeed is the guy who gave Google it’s “don’t be evil” tag and who wrote Gmail. Another guy on the team did Google Maps. Yet other people on the team did impressive things. This team will be unhappy with themselves if they just get me and Thomas Hawk and Louis Gray to use it. They are building something from the bottom up to be used by millions of people.

I’ve watched as Apple invites a few hundred bloggers and journalists into a conference room at its headquarters in Cupertino and gets the news out to the world without having to go to an expensive venue.

Scobleizer — Tech geek blogger » Blog Archive The Superbowl of Startups «

Blogging is NOT reporting. It’s the single voice of a person. When you read me here you are reading me the way I’d talk to you at a cocktail party. You’re hearing my opinions. If I’m doing “reporting” then you’ll know, because of how I source it.

4. Their UI sucks and is brilliant at the same time. In the old post you read how it sucks. In this post look at what’s brilliant about it. First, it’s always fast. You gotta watch this video with Kevin Fox, interaction designer at FriendFeed, to get his philosophy behind building UIs. Think he doesn’t know crap about design? Go read his resume (PDF), he designed Gmail 1.0, Google Calendar 1.0, and Google Reader 2.0.

The scuffle today between Facebook and Google has very little to do with user privacy and everything to do with user control. A huge battle is underway between Google, MySpace and Facebook around control of user profiles and, therefore, users themselves. And their three new products, Data Availability, Facebook Connect, and Friend Connect, are all designed to further that goal.
Let me put this another way. How dare Facebook tell ME that I cannot give Google access to this data!

- Ultimately I hope that I can keep my identity, friend list, photographs, videos and everything else that constitutes the (de)Centralized Me at any service provider that I trust (meaning I trust them to protect that data, but never go against my wishes and try to keep it to themselves if that isn’t what I want), and just tell sites like Facebook and everyone else where to grab it.

I was arguing that if you 1. Friend me AND 2. Give me your email address that I should be able to put that email address into whatever system I so please, just like when you hand me your business card (and therefor that Arrington was wrong).
