FriendFeed and Virtual Worlds

June 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Social Web, web3.D

Just a quick thought. Wouldn’t it be nice, to also publish activities in virtual worlds to FriendFeed? For example a chat-log tool (of course with a kind of opt-in/opt-out for everybody involved), that allows to publish conversations via RSS to FriendFeed?

If I publish my daily tweets to FriendFeed, if I publish all my daily comments to FriendFeed, why not also publish my daily real-time chat conversations in virtual worlds to FriendFeed, if the conversation is worth to share it with others?

To be honest this is a question, which you can of course also see uncoupled from virtual worlds and friendfeed - so the question is:

Why not publish real-time conversations as RSS-chat logs?

Right now we see more and more tools coming up, to enable us to have more real-time instead of time-shifted conversations. Think of the chat in Mogulus, the new chat feature on Facebook, new social network approaches like sixgroups or even any virtual world.

Let me make a small prediction: we will see more and more real-time conversation tools in the future and with that also tools to share this real-time conversations with others.

Need to write more about that soon :) I have just read the Groundswell book and I would say the aspect of real-time vs. time-shifted conversations is missing.
