Video: Digg version 4 coming soon: It’s like Friendfeed and Google Buzz, get your RSS feeds & profiles ready!

This past Friday, Digg’s CEO Kevin Rose released a video showing some of the upcoming features of Digg. From the video Digg v4 looks like a winner but reminds me a little of FriendFeed and Google Buzz with the import RSS feature and follower your friends Digg’s option. Take a look at the video below and let me know what you think in the comments.

I’ve been on Digg since 2006 but haven’t been a huge Digg users but I get the feeling that is about to change. You can find me on Digg here: http://digg.com/users/waynesutton

And the winner is . . . Photo caption contest results

Yesterday, I held a caption contest for the photo below here on SocialWayne.com and I received over 35 comments (minus my own). Some were pretty funny and some were so not me. Even though I can see where they are coming from in the comments with the big “pimp” hat. To see all of the comments view the original post here: Caption contest! What was I thinking?

The photo was taken at Social Fresh, a social media conference organized by Jason Keath in Charlotte, NC. Andy Ciordia @Ciordia9 snapped the photo but I can’t remember what I was thinking at the time.

It was interesting that most of comments came from FriendFeed, either way my top three favorite comments where:
pat said:
i have called this press conference to announce that i am no longer social wayne. from this point forward i shall be known as “super-fly” social wayne.

Eric Miltsch said:
“I bet I can update my Brightkite location without anyone noticing…”

Wardell said:
I’m talkin’ bout tweetin’ since been tweetin’ since been tweetin’!

And the winner is…

FriendFeed the home for geeks, real-time news and the RSSCloud back channel

It’s labor day and I thought things would be quiet online and in the world of FriendFeed. Boy was I wrong! Earlier today, I saw on FriendFeed first before any blog the news about the Spotify app available in the iTunes app store. Then if you follow any of the who’s who on FriendFeed, I’m sure you have seen the whole RSS is dead, long live RSS back and forth between Steve Gillmor and Dave Winer. Months have gone by proclaiming RSS is dead but by watching Dave’s Friendfeed post I knew he was up to something big and today it was announced; RSSCloud and the implementation of RSSCloud with WordPress.com blogs and a plug-in for self hosted WordPress.org blogs.

For more on RSSCloud see the Read Write Web post: WordPress Just Made Millions of Blogs Real-Time With RSSCloud

I must say I’m glad to see FriendFeed still going strong after the recent Facebook acquisition. As for the RSSCloud news, personally I think it’s going to be a big deal being that CNN and other news outlets use WordPress.com. Also in less than four hours we’re starting to see other feed readers implementing RSSCloud such as LazyFeed

PS: This is my first post after installing the RSSClould plug-in. Real-Time updates FTW!

What are your thoughts on RSSCloud?

TheSocialGeeks: FaceFriend or FriendBook? @idonotes @sarahintampa @louisgray @jeffisageek @corvida

I interrupt your regularly scheduled RSS consumption to bring to a) give you a break from feed reading, and b) notify you of an emergency podcasting that took place last night amongst TheSocialGeeks team.

Chris Miller, Sarah Perez, Corvida Raven, JeffisaGeek, Louis Gray, and myself brainstormed over several important questions to consider pertaining to the news that gave early adopters a heart attack yesterday: Facebookacquired FriendFeed to the tune of a reported $50 million.

Listen below or via iTunes to Episode 19 of TheSocialGeeks: FaceFriend FeedBook.

This post was originally posted on SheGeeks.net and I want a mario kart rematch with Louis Gray

Friday Fix: Links from the blogosphere to help you "Get" FriendFeed

If you didn’t know I’m a big fan of FriendFeed. I’m using their widget on my sidebar and have posted about FriendFeed in a few of my previous Friday Fix series. See: Seven FriendFeed Friends to Subscribe to, the ladies edition and Five FriendFeed Friends to Follow, I mean Subscribe to, the guys edition . Although Friendfeed has been around for a while, from time to time I’ll still hear people say they don’t get FriendFeed. If that’s you take a look at the links below.
