Get Buzzed on FriendFeed With FFHolicSeptember 3rd, 2008 at 7:30 pmSource:Mashable! I’m sorry, I can’t help it - I’m a sucker for mashups. Which is why I have to bring the latest one to your attention: Tumbltape. It’s exactly how it sounds: a Muxtape for Tumblr. Just when you thought Muxtape was gone for good, it has inspired John Zanussi and Adam Gotterer to catch on the music sharing wave and create Tumbltape, which takes the latest songs (aka - audio files) from each user’s tumblelog and creates a playlist. When new songs are added, your Tumbltape playlist is automatically updated. Plus, you can choose to let Tumbltape figure out the artist and track names based on the text from your post, or you can type in the artists and track titles yourself. Simple as that. Secretly I am wondering how long this will last, but if the Tumblr community loves it and Muxtape users pick up on the service it will certainly be hard to shut down, at least until the RIAA finds out about it.
Have you been wondering how many rooms on FriendFeed are private? Do you know how many active and public users there are? Are you curious as to whether people “comment” or “like” more? Do you even care? For those people who have fallen head over heels for FriendFeed and have been searching for a way to see “what’s popular,” I introduce to you FFHolic. The site, which just launched yesterday, is a place where FriendFeed fanatics can check out what the latest buzz is. Visitors can search through ‘most liked entries and videos,’ ‘most commented entries and videos,’ and ‘most popular users.’ The idea seems to be taken blatantly from Twitterholic, but unlike its “light” rival FFHolic provides more than just lists of names. It gives insight to popular trends on the rapidly growing social network and serves as a makeshift database for statistics on usage. The site itself is pretty raw at this point — still in Beta stage — and there’s not much to look at. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if it improves and becomes the natural meeting site for FriendFeedaholics Anonymous. Here is a peek at the latest FriendFeed commentary around FFHolic.com: User FFHolic.com said: “FFHolic.com is publicly launched for beta. We still have hundreds of things to do. During our beta launch please report any problem you experience. And of course your ideas…” Showing the most popular people just reinforces the “contest” mentality. As you have data at your disposal to activity per user (comments/likes, etc.) wouldn’t it make more sense to also show most active individuals and show correlations between popularity and activity? - Louis Gray How many servers are you guys running? The search page keeps crashing under load I assume. - Jim McCusker the layout is all screwed up now - the right side content is filling up the page and squishing the left side users list… - Steve Isaacs +1 Louis. I agree - Kyle Lacy Plus it looks lousy on a 1024×768 screen. - Sean McGee Your FF Badge is rather long on the width side - Outsanity @Louis Gray: That’s a great idea thank you. - FFHolic.com @Jim McCusker: We are working on that problem. Thank you. - FFHolic.com You can follow the Mashable staff who actively use FriendFeed here:
