Ryan Spoon: Facebook is Gunning for Twitter & FriendFeed - I Might be Converting

  • daveevans · 1 year ago
    Totally agree. I can't even deal with my Friendfeed anymore and dropped twitter months ago. FB is the conduit of choice for most people interested in feeds and lifestreams.

    Check out Brightkite as well, I'm loving it, great service, what Plazes should have been, poor Nokia.

    The "problem" (it's not a problem for them, I guess) with Facebook is, that the stream is not available per RSS or API calls. It can only be read by going directly to your Facebook page. It cannot be mashed up, it's a walled garden. If it were open, there could be third party applications to read and update (currently only update is possible from outside of Facebook) Facebook streams.

    Benedikt: You are absolutely right on this. But a normal user might not reflect much on walled gardens. He will care more on where his friends are.
