  • FriendFeed: A cure for social networking fatigue?
    May 9th, 2008 / Posted by Nathan T. Wright

    FriendFeedNew social networks and applications pop up every day, causing many to suffer from what is known as "socal network fatigue." You’ve got too many usernames and passwords across multiple platforms to remember, and you’ve got different circles of friends spread across all the networks. This deluge of information can be difficult to manage.

    Now, services are springing up that aim to help us with the social networking overload. One of particular interest is FriendFeed. Basically, you sign up once, enter all your logins for the various networks you participate in, and FriendFeed spits out a "life stream" of data about what you’re doing.

    Imagine all of your recent Twitter and Facebook updates, Flickr photos, blog posts, Upcoming.org events, StumbleUpon bookmarks and favorited YouTube videos mashed together with what you’re currently listening to on Last.fm — all in one central feed.

    FriendFeed serves as a chokepoint for all of the scattershot data we post about ourselves online, and time will tell if it’s a temporary cure for social networking fatigue.
