FriendFeed Makes Tweeting Easier!
All of you micro-blogging, social network gurus will probably find the news out of FriendFeed interesting. The company has introduced a new feature which allows users to broadcast their FriendFeed messages directly to their Twitter account. This is attractive for those who use, or wish to use both services, as now, instead of posting in both Twitter and FriendFeed, you only need to use the latter.
Of course, FriendFeed is for more than just small messages, and incorporates a variety of activities (some including Flicker photos, and YouTube videos) into their capabilities. All of these are available for the new service as well. Meaning, you can provide your followers the same information through Twitter as you would through FriendFeed, inclusively. For example, when Tweeting a YouTube video the user had posted, it would show it as a link within the tweet itself. Of course, these are optional choices, and it will be up to the user to decide which features they would like to post to Twitter.
However, those who believe Twitter is already chalked full of spam, and “tweethappy” individuals, may become even more disenchanted with the service, as moves like this will create more and more excessive Twitter noise. But, then, isn’t noise the whole point of Twitter in the first place?
