In a world where self-expression is increasingly encouraged and exploited, a new type of activity has formed – observing the online activities of friends.
Recently-launched FriendFeed is an extremely easy-to-use service that lets you see the content across the Web your friends or people who randomly end up in your network are sharing. It’s a mash up – to use the au courant term – of more than two dozen sharing and communication tools and services from Digg, Reddit, Twitter, Flickr, Netflix Queue, Amazon’s Wishlists and YouTube. FriendFeed recently raised $5 million for a $20 million post-money valuation, said Paul Buchheit, who recently stopped into the Vator studios for an interview with me. Paul, along with another former Googl-er - Sanjeev Singh, as well as Bret Taylor and Jim Norris are the founders of FriendFeed. Paul is also an investor in FriendFeed, as well as Vator.tv.
