I just saw this story hit Techmeme: it’s entitled "Facebook Friends Not Real Friends." They’re not? Well, at least not in the UK. Not anymore.
Apparently, the story arises from a case where a British judge cleared an ex-boyfriend of a harassment charge after he repeatedly sent his ex a "friend request." Your first […]

Go figure. Now that everyone comments on FriendFeed, there’s a better way to do blog commenting: Disqus. This service provides an improved blog management system for your blog, whether it’s WordPress, MovableType, Tumblr, Blogger, or TypePad. And if you blog with something else, you can just use a general code snippet for your site […]

Mobile reminder service kwiry, which I covered here, is running a pretty cool promo right now. If you’re using kwiry, then anytime you send in a kwiry for a specific book, movie, or music (song or album), you’re automatically entered in a contest to win that very item.
The more you send, the more […]

Here’s a service that just misses the mark: TP2Location. This new site lets you enter in a phone number from anywhere in the world and find out who called you. Or at least, that’s what it should do. I mean, that would be filling a void. That would be a useful service. But that’s […]

I was just saying how I could barely wait for the FriendFeed WordPress plugin, and, like an answer to my prayers, Glenn went ahead and released it. Now, be warned this is an early beta. It may have bugs. It might break. But, uh…I don’t care! I must have it. Downloaded it. Installed it. […]

I just saw on Mashable that I’m getting credit (or blame?) for starting the whole "The Conversation Has Left the Blogosphere" discussion regarding FriendFeed, but they note that it was also Allen Stern on CenterNetworks who helped push the discussion forward with his blog post on the topic which generated a pretty big FriendFeed […]

This is a guest post written by Corvida of SheGeeks.
nclüdr is "the most awesomest ultimate social network ever" that launched today after months of "development, seeding, hoeing, back-end testing, and the implementation of its revolutionary synchronization algorithms that deliver a more seamless social networking experience," according to a release issued earlier this morning.
Actually, […]

Over the past few days, I’ve discovered lots of new RSS stuff, thanks to all the links and info flowing by on FriendFeed.
From Louis Gray, I learned of Toluu, which aims to bring back the joy of "Share My OPML," (now defunct). Currently an invite-only beta, when the site launches, you’ll be able to […]

File this under “why didn’t I think of this sooner?” - I’ve just added a FriendFeed Comments widget to my blog (see sidebar to the right, beside Recent Comments). In lieu of an actual Wordpress plugin, a FriendFeed comments widget will help me and my readers keep tabs on my blog’s activity on FriendFeed […]

I can’t say that I agree with this one 100%, but it certainly is an interesting rant - over at the Industry Interactive, Inc. blog is a post titled "Facebook has failed us (or Facebook is like so Web 1.0)".
J Lane writes that Facebook is lame because the Facebook apps "suck" and it […]
