FriendFeed just added search. I just talked with Bret Taylor and he said that next up is an API, coming within weeks.
Rocky and me will do an interview with the team at the end of the month.
I told Bret that I’m an addict.
Of course, maybe that means I have a mental disorder. Hmmm. Maryam might agree with that!
FriendFeed has good search now.When will Twitter make it?

One feature I really think is interesting is how they have atom feeds for the search results as well. This can be powerful for tracking certain topics that are of interest to you across many different services. I feel like this can be compared to the twitter tracker feature although that is more oriented towards sending alerts via IM.

I absolutely love everything about FriendFeed. It’s everything the Facebook feed should be. I wish I could swap them hahah.

Search also provides a solution to the issue of all of the different discussions that might be launched from a single artifact. Let’s say that someone writes a blog post - this launches a discussion. Someone else shares is in a Google Reader feed - this launches a separate discussion. Someone else tags it in del.icio.us, etc. If you search on the title of the blog post, you can find all of the different FriendFeed discussions that have been started because of that original artifact.

I’m surprised they didn’t have an api sooner. Friend Feed is the exact kind of thing i’d love to have in a widget or an iphone web site.

Do you know if the API is going to be read only? I’m building my own RSS reader because I couldn’t keep up with the way the current crop of readers force you to read articles by feed or chronological. check it out at tubejumper dot com.
I’ve got a button that lets me post to twitter, jaiku and tumblr. I’d love to be able to put in a share button that let’s me share via the API like the “Share Something” form does.

An API could be useful. Here’s hoping they adopt OAuth (following on the footsteps of Fire Eagle)!
