Just reading Fred Wilson’s post about Friendfeed - 10 suggestions to make it better. It’s great to see a relatively new service take off and get users who really care enough.

Friendfeed, similar to Twitter last year, seems to be one of the current ‘it’ companies. Friendfeed complements existing services that are already popular like Flickr or Twitter and gives us a single place to watch someone’s ‘digital persona’. Certainly we’d love for kickfly to be one of the services tracked by Friendfeed.

The bigger question is ‘why Friendfeed’? Why do certain services tap into what the alpha bloggers feel is ‘cool’, and get traction? And why do some of these services make the jump to less sophisticated, but more plentiful end-users? No easy answers here, just watching what happens!

it’s already march!

we’ve started to open up a bit to outsiders - just a trickle.

The challenge is going to be to get our first 10,000 users. Or even our first 1,000. Or 100.

My prediction: it will take us a while. hopefully I’m wrong.
