If I categorise my #birthday wishes on Facebook each year I can almost guarantee that the biggest group of well-wishers will always be people I met through #FriendFeed and that's true again this year. The connections you make on social media can last far longer than the networks themselves. Nice to see my friends from the Skeptics in the Pub (#SITP) days competing with actual family for second place in the categories.

Ho appena scoperto che esiste ancora #Plurk e ora sono qui che spero di fare login su #FriendFeed e trovare tutto com'era un tempo :')

@rm4 Saw your mention of Google+ which was something I used to enjoy along with G Reader for RSS. Did you ever use #Friendfeed? That was a fantastic social platform until it was acquired by F...book.

Bring back #friendfeed to manage all these Twitter clones

Somebody mentioned #friendica so that's another rabbit hole on the #Fediverse for me to explore. I like the layout, it reminds me of the old days of #Friendfeed before they were acquired by Farcebook. So now I'm @nickb333@venera.social too.

Io vi voglio bene ma non pregate che #Mastodon diventi il nuovo #Friendfeed perché i peggiori troll che ho incontrato su #Twitter venivano proprio da lì.

Una delle cose curiose di #FriendFeed è che, nonostante fosse abbastanza di nicchia, aveva alcune figure famose. Ricordo in particolare #FrankieHiNRG, che ci “regalò” l'anteprima di un nuovo (all'epoca) singolo

(che fu peraltro molto criticato nei commenti, ritenuto —comprensibilmente— non all'altezza di #QuelliCheBenpensano nonostante le buone intenzioni propagandistiche nei confronti di educazione e cultura).

@kosmar gepluseinst aber ich likete #friendfeed besser

@roughconsensusandrunningcode a proposito, ma #FrankeHiNRG non c'è nel #Fediverso? Ricordo che ai tempi di #FriendFeed era abbastanza nerd da avere una presenza anche lí.

@Sarahp imma let you finish but #friendfeed was the best social network of all time!

amazing to see all of the new micro blogging networks: Scuttlebutt, Nostr, Mastodon and Feedland - I think RSS will be huge in the new landscape because there are 15 million+ sites already equipped - huge ecosystem. I wonder how the Tweetbot mastodon client is doing, anyone using it ? #microblogging #RSS #blockchain #activitypub #feedland #ostatus #pubsubhubbub #identica #laconica #twitarmy #friendfeed #track #xmpp #jabber #indieweb #dweb #web3

@andrea The only social network I know had an unusually large density of Italians (and Turks) was #FriendFeed.

Now, before #FriendFeed got gobbled up and destroyed by #Facebook, there was a pretty lively and intellectually stimulating community there, even though too many of them (for my personal test) used it as a “proper” #socialNetwork rather than as an aggregator. Of the most curious things that came out of the experience, the one I want to talk about is the one organized by #BarabbaEdizioni, a «non-existent publisher»

BTW, I recently had a trip down #memoryLane and realized that I might technically count as a #publishedAuthor. The story goes like this: a long long time ago in an Internet far far away, there was a social network that started in the best way: as a #POSSE aggregator. The name of the network was #FriendFeed, and apparently it reached its highest reach among users in Italy and Turkey.
(Why? No idea.)

I wonder if there's an #app or #tool to enable writing one message and watching it automatically post to Mastodon, Twitter, and Facebook. I'm thinking of #FriendFeed and #IFTTT, as an example. Maybe the latter can do it. Maybe... I set up an account on a new platform for diary entries and auto-share everywhere. Hmm.

@pre @atomicpoet It’s not about the decentralisation but about the activity feed. I pine for the days of #friendfeed where everything put out an ActivityStream and you could aggregate a combined #lifestream from the diaspora of things. Structured data out from your inputs is what I’m after.

@ciredutempsEsme Ce hashtag me fait repenser à la bonne vieille époque du réseau social #FriendFeed (très en avance sur son temps, mais racheté et tué par Facebook), où deux utilisateurs enthousiastes avaient créé un podcast dédié à FriendFeed qu'ils avaient nommé "FFundercats".

Du coup je me demand s'il existe un podcast dédié au #Fediverse.

Slightly more than 24 hours left to enjoy #DarkSkyApp before Apple shuts it down for good.

It is one of the best examples how to style a great web app and also a great example of how web apps can be more accessible than native apps.

But, like Facebook acquiring the amazing #FriendFeed app, throwing it out and keeping their own shitty interface, Apple too will discard a great product.

One #feature that I really miss from the old #FriendFeed days is “imaginary friends”. Even if someone wasn’t on the service you could pull in their tweets, rss, etc. under an alias. It would go a long way toward filling some gaps on #mastodon
