I am only taking credit to a small degree, but I must say that their well demonstrated approach reflects what I have been hearing myself say for a long time now to radio network execs and show hosts, as we build out our all-accessible media network.
The walled gardens we see so readily among the cell carriers and more recently Facebook and MySpace are nothing new to radio.
So FriendFeed, I salute you in hailing the value of media finding new outlets and new audiences! Let us join our rings of power together to amplify the message that the universe is indeed expanding. Media wealth is still being created. The new consumer is daily more empowered and sharing information between the newsmakers/pundits and the consumers will uncover an unprecedented yet-to-be-appreciated market awareness in the months ahead.

I’ve never heard of friendfeed before. But after checking it out I can see that they allow others to see what their friends are doing from multiple sites and not just one in particular.
Veeerry interesting.
Sounds like some good stuff to incorporate in out social media offering as well.
