Friendfeed’s Personalized Recommendations Feature

Advertisements

If you’re a web 2.0/social network junkie like me, you’ve probably be in Twitter, Friendfeed, Pownce, Facebook and many more social network/social media site. I don’t know about you, but more often than not, I don’t get to check my account in these sites on a daily basis. Good thing for Friendfeed, it just introduced a new feature that would make our “Friendfeeding” activities a little bit better.

Actually, the new feature is not really a biggie, just a little line of links below our Friendfeed homepage’s search box. The link box says - “show the best of day, week and month. If you click any of those link, Friendfeed will give you the best stuff that your Friendfeed contacts have shared recently. This means you don’t have to sift through your feeds one by one to get the best shared item which might be of interest to you.

The results of the personalized recommendation is tailored to your needs and to what interests you. Friendfeed uses your friend’s comments and “likes” and other signals to analyze which of your friend’s shared items would matter to you. Basically, what it does is to save you time when checking your Friendfeed account and gives you more time to check your other web 2.0 properties.

This new Friendfeed feature is a pretty promising one and hopefully Friendfeed will refine it better to make the feed suggestion as accurate and as relevant to one’s specific needs as possible.

For all you know, you might find this feature useful enough to make you abandon other lifestreaming services and aggregate all your friends’ feed under Friendfeed alone.
