louisgray.com: louisgray.com: I Am a Google Reader Shared Links Ninja

    Yup, I like this team too. I still read Google Reader, but I definitely have moved a major chunk of my time away from Google Reader and onto FriendFeed.

    Can you give me the 3 sentence or less pitch on why FriendFeed grabs you so hard? I respect it, completely. Just wondering without a blog post, or a constrain of 140 characters, right here and now....What is it about FriendFeed that gets you.
  • Louis Gray · 1 year ago
    FriendFeed works for me because it gets all relevant Web activity from my peers in one place, and doesn't just aggregate the data, but lets me act on it and engage. FriendFeed works because it is fast, it is scalable, and on that foundation, you have some incredible sources for new information emerging seemingly every day. It is the interactive Web, the way it should be, not too heavy, not too underfeatured.

    Edit: Oh. You meant the Scoble Guy... :-)

    I'll field that one. In addition to Ninja Louis' comments on "all relevant Web activity" and "act on it and engage," I also get a selective view of what Ninja Louis' ice cream friends are doing.

    Louis, keep up the good ideas and hopefully they'll get implemented! I'll be in Friendfeed awaiting the announcements of new features... but actually reading blogs from Friendfeed.

    Their team is absolutely awesome and I think the more they build, the more people will give it a shot. There are a lot of people using other readers who are waiting for something new. I think we saw a glimpse of that "something" tonight.

    Great post fellow Ninja!

    That's actually the same reason I picked Ninja for my theme, too. :)

    I really love the new notes feature. My next suggestion? Give us usernames like http://google.com/reader/louisgray instead of http://google.com/reader/shared/user/0576391784...
