I really dropped the ball on writing a blog post about this one but better late than never!

On March 21st Bret Taylor (one of the FriendFeed founders) asked if I’d like to provide feedback for the then upcoming FriendFeed API.  I was very interested in getting my hands on it and stoked that I was one of the people he thought of when searching for feedback.  Over the weekend I tinkered with the API, provided feedback (you can thank me for having comment/like/discussion and search feeds in the API), and built the first FriendFeed application: FriendFeed Stats.

On March 25th I launched FriendFeed Stats simultaneously with the release of the FriendFeed API.  Soon I open sourced the Django application that drives FriendFeed Stats so everyone could see how simple it is to work with the FriendFeed API.

Many thanks to Bret and the rest of the FriendFeed team for delivering an awesome service.  I hope to see many more interesting FriendFeed applications soon.
