I was reading a CNET article a while ago and found out about FriendFeed thought to be as the new Twitter.

I will disagree however. Although it has similar feature like Twitter where you are able to know what’s your friends been up to (in fact, Twitter is one of the shared sites), it has a lot better functionality than the latter.

FriendFeed lets you share your favorite website, whereabouts through Twitter, YouTube video uploads and favorites, del.icio.us bookmarks, Stumble Upon reviews, etc to your friends. So it is basically social media and web 2.0 sites rolled into one.

Similar sites include Plaxo and Iminta.
