The social aspect is in my opinion the thing that slows down SB as well, Billy. I hope they find a way to improve this soon. I was also thinking that a FacePOOP application would bring SB to the next level. Let’s see what they’ll come up with (I am sure they are already working on one)

Being one of the Earliest Adopters of SecondBrain I liked what they were trying to accomplish* One thing they haven’t done that well is address the SOCIAL aspects of any User Network* FriendFeed on the other hand has done an Excellent job of that*

Just for Example I get NO activity Notices from SB – the Starting Point for my Web2.0 Day is checking my Gmail – so thass Critical if I’m gonna be Reminded to Pop in + Check it Out*

FF also seems to have captured the Interest + most importantly Use by a lot of my Contacts on Twitter – so it’s Convenient for me to see the Rich content ie Flickr + Facebook that those Folks are Posting* + it was Super EZ to add a lot of the A-Listers like Scoble + Winer + PHIL BUTLER + Arrington* )

U mention SB now has 10,000 Users – thass Pathetic – 3rd Party Stoopid FacePOOP Apps get 100,000 Peeps signed Up in a Single Day + SB has been kinda Slogging along for well over a Year* Intially I wasn’t a Big Fan o FacePOOP but they have 2 Things that interest me My Friendz + Social Comment Activity*

I Hope this Rich Preview (sounds like Cooliris or Snap) does get the Ball Rolling for them*

Cheers Folks!! Billy ) Peace*

Ouch, Secondbrain is everywhere! They’ve just got a whole new redesign also! And the slogan of ‘All Your Content’, it is the one true God! =D

Thanks Mig, great thoughts on the future content visions and strageties.

Jesse, you didn’t understand: Secondbrain embeds ALL rich media sites. FriendFeed embeds YouTube because it only supports YouTube.

An audio player is scheduled to be implemented on the SB platform as well.

Let’s not forget that SB is somehow younger than FF. They came a long way if you ask me. I can see why you “defend” FF – (SB aggregates FF as well, btw) – but I think you should give SecondBrain a closer look.

[...] has been billed as the ideal social content aggregator, but really affords much more as a place in “The cloud” to organize and store personal [...]

“This is a feature no other social aggregator has, and the advantage is that the users and their friends/visitors can view the videos on their Secondbrain accounts, without being forced to leave the site.”

Not so; Friendfeed embeds YouTube videos, and Swurl.com even goes so far as to embed an audio player and lyrics for Pandora bookmarked songs which doesn’t even have those it’s feeds.
