As if it couldn’t get any more manic, FriendFeed launched realtime usage today. (I believe it was today) At least, today is when Robert Scoble posted about it and the rest of the community was swarming around the topic.

Looking at the main stream in realtime proved to be headache and vomit inducing to most, but now I know how to filter it out. You can create lists and rooms (which have been features of FriendFeed for a while already), then activate them in realtime.

Rooms, specifically can also be embedded in webpages as active, realtime iframe widgets, as shown below.

I imagine the next 24 hours will yield many other great ideas for how to use this new feature. Looking forward to them all.

OK, that is all. Please feed responsibly.
