FriendFeed Built The Ultimate Live Blogging Tool (techcrunch.com)

I love FriendFeed, and I think that this improves their virality by a lot.

I think that the next step for FriendFeed is to dump in some collaborative filtering so that I can get recommendations of feeds that I might be interested based on what I comment on and the types of things I subscribe to. If they can get that down, FriendFeed will be every tech nerd's new TV.

A question I have is whether or not you guys think FriendFeed can cross into the mainstream? It seems to me that most mainstream internet users only use 1 or 2 web services, so perhaps they are not suitable for the FriendFeed model.


Perhaps it could do well if college kids got into it, but I think this requires a level of organization that isn't typical of the mainstream social networker.
