Friendfeed is doing "Real-Time" right

Friendfeed has put out it's version of real-time search, and it's better than what anyone else is doing. Much better than Twitter. The best part is you can embed this real time search anywhere on the web. This is what I wanted Twitter to do not long ago - so at the end of a blog post I could include the most recent conversation on the web about the topic.

Friendfeed does not have as many users as Twitter and the early adopter crowd leans more to the tech side than the whole of Twitter would. But for this blog it works.

And that's not to say no one talks about pop culture or politics or whatever at friendfeeed. They ramble on about that stuff over there as well. For this post, I wanted to grab something that was getting a lot of talk on the web - so you could see the feed in action (it auto updates). Michael Jackson is moving too fast to even monitor. So I went with SarahPalin. You can roll your mouse over a post to pause the feed from moving while you read.



If I ever get back to writing over here - I'll start using this.
