Launching FriendDeck

Paul Kinlan

I'm excited to announce the launch of FriendDeck, a new tool inspired by TweetDeck that enhances the FriendFeed experience. Built on Google App Engine and using jQuery, FriendDeck lets you create persistent searches to track topics in real-time, rather than just seeing your friends' posts. This is particularly helpful for monitoring developing events, as demonstrated by Neville Hobson's use of FriendDeck during the US Airways Hudson River landing. FriendDeck supports a simple query language for searching by keyword, user likes/comments/friends, URLs, domains, and FriendFeed rooms. It also allows posting to FriendFeed directly from the application. Each deck auto-refreshes every minute, and new features like inline commenting are coming soon. Check it out at www.frienddeck.com!
