Join our Friend Feed Room, kill a mailing list!
May 24, 2008 by Chris Heuer
OK, I finally succumbed to the hype and got past the shiny object syndrome to see the real potential of Friend Feed when they added the new rooms feature. I have been telling everyone I know for the past 2 years that groups done simply and done right are the real killer app - and now this addition just might kill Twitter (though they are doing a pretty good job themselves).
Since I started using it for real as part of my continuous parallel attention, which has been limited by deadlines and travel this week, I finally got it. Not only are the comments and thumbs up (like) features cool, but ‘get a room’ has taken on a whole new meaning.
If blogs replace email as a way for communications and collaboration, Friend Feed Rooms replace the mailing list. In that Mike McGrath, Janet Fouts and I were talking about building up the SMC mailing list finally, I realized we would just make a Friend Feed Room instead. So come join me there and lets start really sharing with one another…
[...] Saturday, May 24th, 2008 Chris Heuer posts on his satisfaction with friendfeed and even goes as far as saying it might kill twitter.I agree that comment promotion capabilities and the concept of live social interactions with content are exactely what this whole social media cookie is all about. So Chris, I say go ahead and kill that mailing list!Original Post:http://www.socialmediaclub.org/2008/05/24/join-our-friend-feed-room-kill-a-mailing-list/ [...]
