Eluma as a Desktop Client for FriendFeed
Posted by Joe Lichtenberg on Fri, May 02, 2008 @ 11:11 AM
Amidst the hullaballoo for FriendFeed, the new service that aggregates feeds from the various web 2.0 services like Twitter, Digg, and StumbleUpon, has been the emergence of desktop clients built specifically to expose FriendFeed data as soon as it gets published, so as not to incur even the slightest delay watching the real-time chatter :-). TechCrunch recently wrote another post on that topic here.
Since Eluma is built to aggregate any feeds or content you choose, and one of the things that Eluma does is to expose feeds as desktop alerts, I thought I would see how Eluma stacks up as a client for FriendFeed. You will notice that there was no API integration required - just out of the box functionality for exposing FriendFeed feeds as alerts.
Here's the video. Please tell us what you think!
