I don’t hide the fact that I am a fan of FriendFeed; which considering my feelings on the whole social media thing should suggest something about the service. Even as good as it was I felt that there were some very important ingredients missing that helped to create what some referred to as the fracturing of the conversation.

Well today FriendFeed announced an update to the service which saw what I consider to be two very crucial additions which you can see in the graphic below

The first addition was announced earlier today and even by itself the addition of the Disqus commenting system as one of FriendFeed’s newest service members was one I had been advocating for some time. Then however later this evening they also announced the addition of being able to post back to Twitter. This; along with the addition of Disqus, in my mind has sealed FriendFeed as the leader in the social aggregator space and greatly enhanced its usefulness.

From a blogging point of view alone these additions have greatly increased my ability to manage my time and make it easier to track what is going on across all the areas and people that interest me. That for me is priceless and while I am just a cranky old fart with too many opinions I can just imagine how bigger name bloggers will react when they figure out how FriendFeed has just made their job a little easier.

Way to go FriendFeed and a big thanks.
