FriendFeed Status Blog Anyone? FriendFeed Is Down and It Is Very Disappointing.

Svetlana Gladkova

Hello. I'm Svetlana and I'm a FriendFeed addict. I have a habit of checking FriendFeed every time that I strike out every single completed task on my to-do list (yes, I admit that I'm conservative enough to still do it on paper). A few minutes earlier I clicked the "Publish" button on [...]

SocialOyster – A Very Fresh and Promising Approach to Lifestreaming

Svetlana Gladkova

SocialOyster is a very new lifestreaming service that I am very impressed by after giving it a test run. The best part about SocialOyster is the unusual selection of services the site provides in addition to lifestreaming as it is. But let me start with a short introduction. I am often amazed [...]

AOL in the Lifestreaming Game with buddyupdates. Who Will Be The Next?

Svetlana Gladkova

I have bumped into a post by Mark Krynsky today titled "AOL launches buddyupdates Lifestreaming Service and Nobody Notices". Since I am far from a heavy AIM user myself (I only have 2 contacts and one of them actually forced me to get another IM protocol when I clearly felt I did [...]

It is definitely great new that today Facebook is rolling out the filters for the News Feed to improve our experience with the [...]

Social Median In Public Beta

Leslie Poston

Social Median has been opened up to a public beta now. Early adopter type that I am, I of course had to run right over and check it out. I’m still playing with it, but I have a few initial impressions about the overall service so far.
First, Social Median is no FriendFeed. If you were [...]

Twitter and FriendFeed Leave No Chance for a Balanced News Consumption to a Technology Blogger

Svetlana Gladkova

Only yesterday morning, minutes before the earthquake in California, I talked to a blogging friend of mine on Skype and shared my concerns about a huge imbalance in my news consumption. The thing is that I have realized that I follow all (even minor) news related to everything in technology and web 2.0 [...]

MyBlogLog Redesigns the Site: Why Don’t They Follow FriendFeed Pattern?

Svetlana Gladkova

Today the rather popular network for bloggers MyBlogLog announces redesign of their website - unfortunately, without any new features or without following the obvious pattern of FriendFeed.
In general it seems to me that the company has decided to stick to changing the design whenever they feel that some improvements are needed. But [...]

We do seem to be talking too much about women in technology lately but given the latest Playboy poll and the BlogHer conference I think it is not surprising. So ReadWriteWeb came up with a list of favorite female bloggers compiled by its bloggers. Obviously, it was a pleasure to have two [...]

Skydeck - The True Mobile Social Network?

Triston McIntyre

I think there are a lot of people who still point at the divide between someone's "social" life — that being the life they possess as a member of internet-based communities and networks — and "real" social life, saying the void can't be crossed.  While we might not be at the point where our two [...]

Bluepulse: On-the-Go Social Simplicity

Triston McIntyre

There's a lot to be said for simplicity.  Simplicity can mean focused and directed, but it can also mean lacking.  Reaching a balance of features and complexity while maintaining clarity and simplicity is a difficult task for any mobile social platform developer.  Though I feel like I'm beating a dead horse, I think the best [...]
