Our Social Communication platform also allows for updates via IM, and SMS.
We are going to take on Friend Feed as well as Twitter. Our Application is Open Source and we also give part of our revenue back the community....

Loius
Laconi.ca has had this feature since they launched; so friend feed has not done anything new....they only added/copied an existing feature of a competitor; something the seem to do well.

Friend Feed is not Open Source and therefore in my view is not "Open"....in this case they are "Open" in a myspace or facebook style...They want your actions and your content to raise their valuation in in return they will give you nothing; not even the source code to the application that you have given value. To me Friend Feed as nothing more than web 2.0 Share cropping system.

Very nice. I think that people will realize the full power of this when integrated into an Android device. Killing XMPP and IM was, I think one of the few big mistakes twitter did along the way. It is good to see friendfeed taking advantage of that. Given that facebook already has an IM infrastructure, why do you think that they will have a problem extending it to the mobile world when the time is right?

Friendfeed's team, with the brains and the tools they have, should DEFINITELY publish a list of the features they're working on. I've had the pleasure and honor to be the first to test enjit and somehow I feel sorry for all the efforts made by Ken.
