The Sith Sense FriendFeed, Twitter, Google Reader, Yahoo Pipes, All Top, Feedly Zen Software Stack
Have you ever felt a disturbance in the force. Can you mine peta bytes of information and munge data in real time. I was stunned to learn the Guy Kawasaki doesn't use FriendFeed. I thought it was Ubiquitous. If you havent done it just stop reading and get your stack going. I gave a Presentation on this a few weeks ago. So signup for Friendfeed, Twitter, GoogleReader, Yahoo Pipes, Alltop, and throw in Delicious.
What it does, Get all the RSS and Atom feeds into Google Reader. Yahoo Pipes can aggregate your favorite topics for you. Alltop is great to pull in the top bloggers. I like the Project Management Section. Once you are all signed in than unleash the secret weapon. the sith sense is Feedly. It munges your Google Reader Account. It pulls in what is hot, Ie bookmarked, dug, twitted and pumps that content up in a clean beautiful page. Which is nothing cool. Whats so cool is how you can spelunk into the data stream in realtime, you get a little Java script button in the bottom of your Firefox window. it will show you a RealTime FriendFeed search of a topic. you can understand how the information is being consumed. how is it being shared. Next cool thing is the Karma feature. The karma feature is connected to your twitter account. if you have a clickable link in a tweet it will show you your karma. how many times your link gets shared across the twitterverse. So if you want to have an agent strip search the petabytes of blogs on the net for you, munge the data by pushing great content up, allow you to analyze how the content is being consumed. Share it across the Social networks. Twitter FreindFeed, even this service called Facebook and many more obscure ones. But the best thing is when people actually, take a plunge in the swimming pool on FreindFeed and Discuss it.
