What is friendstat.us?

Friendstat.us helps you keep up with ALL your friend's content.

To be a little more specific, friendstat.us compiles your various social network streams into one simple person-based view. It then gives you a handful of tools to consume, analyze, and interact with all that content.

What does a 'person-based' view actually mean?

A person-based view groups content generated by each person into a single stream associated to that person and then presents you with one larger stream that is a collection of those individual streams.

If you think about it, in systems like Twitter and Facebook you follow people you find interesting, but the content they generate is actually presented to you based on time. That is the newest content, regardless of who generates it, is always pushing the older content out of view. This approach awards the 'noisy' people you follow and makes it easy for you to miss out on, quite possibly high-quality, content from those you follow that publish less often.

To solve this problem Friendstat.us uses a person-based view. This makes it easy for you to see which of the people you follow have recently published content to your stream, how much they have published, and what as-a-whole they are talking about.

But like anything new and different, it's best understood just by playing with it. So why not just give it a try?
