Sometime, to adjust and combine some elements for the product, will creat a new product.
The elements for FriendFeed including the elements for socialization, mini, RSS reader, I named FriendFeed to be the Social Mini Reader:
1.The Socialization of FriendFeed is from Miniblog. For instance, zuosa is a miniblog, let’s see:
via izuosa
me and my friends(我和好友)=friends for FriendFeed
me(我做过啥)=me for FriendFeed,
everyone(大家在做啥)=everyone for FriendFeed,
group(做啥群)=room for FriendFeed, :
2.The concept of mini in FriendFeed have two meanings:
a.Miniblog, Bookmark is the sourcing information for FriendFeed:
via izuosa
b.The display mode for FriendFeed is Mini, only have title with link:
via izuosa
Google Reader is learning and copying from FriendFeed:
1.share with notes for Google Reader and comments for FriendFeed:
Google Reader:
via izuosa
FriendFeed:
via izuosa
2.Link list on profile for Google Reader and Sharing list on FriendFeed sourcing popup:
Google Reader, with auto suggestion for links
via izuosa
FriendFeed
via izuosa
Now, we will see the troubles for FriendFeed. The combination of FriendFeed is so similar with Google Reader, FriendFeed filled the market space for following the social websites, but it is still a old product, a kind of Reader.
What’s new for Google Reader in the future:
1.Feed from your profile
This will be a feature that can replace FriendFeed, if the users can use this feature seamless at Google Reader, why need FriendFeed.
2.Feed from your friends
This feature is similar with Blogs I’m following
3.Feed from everyone
So, it is time for FriendFeed to do RSS reader to protect its market. Also, let’s see the changes for Google Reader.
Mostly, no change.
