信息流聚合服务FriendFeed刚刚增加了一个功能:当用户在FriendFeed回复某条Twitter消息的时候,可以选择同步回复到Twitter。这个功能看似很小,不过对于FriendFeed来说,可能是非常重要的一步。
这是FriendFeed实现双向同步的开始,之后FriendFeed也许会针对其它热门的服务也设置类似返回到源服务的双向同步功能。这样的发展方向让FriendFeed越来越像一个真正的平台了。
之前我就觉得,FriendFeed的朋友推荐、虚拟任务以及数据统计等功能本身对用户就有着不错的吸引力。唯一的问题是,FriendFeed如果只是以单向同步其它信息,那还没有办法将原来在其它服务的用户群体中的用户真正的吸引过来。而现在回复到Twitter这个功能,使Twitter的用户使用FriendFeed有了更加充分的理由。
其实,在FriendFeed所支持的服务中,有很多都像Twitter一样提供了可写的用户接口,如Del.icio.us、Flickr、YouTube等等。所以FriendFeed完全有可能把双向同步扩展到更多的服务中去。那样的话,FriendFeed会变得比现在更加的流行。而用户也可以从FriendFeed获得更多有价值的内容和信息。

Ten Things I'd Like FriendFeed To Do
1) I want to reply to a comment, like I can in disqus, and not have to use an @ sign
2) if the post is an mp3, put a play button like the yahoo or delicious player does
3) if the post a photo, put a thumbnail of the photo right in the feed. i realize it does that for flickr, but not for tumblr.
4) Allow me to do an @reply right from FriendFeed into Twitter
5) Let me explode the link into the first paragraph of the post right in FriendFeed
6) When i post a comment on FriendFeed, let me also post it to Flickr, or the blog through the blog's or comment system's API
7) When someone comments on my feed, send me an email that I can reply to and post a reply back (like Disqus does)
8) Let me view my friend's posts ordered by friend as another option in addition to reverse chronological order
9) Let me bookmark a delcious link from someone else by just clicking an icon right on the page and not leaving FriendFeed
10) Let me see the number of people following me
