FriendFeed just released a new nicer design. here are my very first 30 sec impressions
- Nicer and more people oriented rather than feed type oriented
- It feels like Twitter + PowerTwitter (an addon that restitutes conversations+content) + auto refresh
- Real Timeness is cool BUT Friendfeed needs to give better control to users
- Pause button is not enough, they need to add a keyboard shortcut for that or bigger button control
- They need to give more control on speed
- i would like to still see where the link is coming from (i mean which service: delicious/youtube...)
- Search is nicely implemented (much better than twitter) with the friend/everyone filter auto suggest
- awesome implementation of Direct messages with auto complete (friendfeed in execution is btw way better than twitter but not sure this is enough)
I am sure this (shortcut/control) will be implemented in the next 2 weeks (already required by users). One thing is certain the status update is gaining momentum as a medium. This is one of the most interesting thing happening right now on the web. i believe we ll hear more and more about it soon
