FriendFeedSpy is a site that let you keep on watching what is happening on FriendFeed. Though it’s not created by FriendFeed, but it certainly an useful site when you want to track the latest buzz in FriendFeed, instead of visit the FriendFeed Public site, as FriendFeedSpy is considered fetching all the submitted items in nearly real-time, but FriendFeed Public is only fresh the moment you manually click on it.

With this FriendFeedSpy, I probably believe that “Spying” is good to have, just like I read that breaking up or restructuring of corporations is good to have too, in terms of value creation. The existence of this kind of sites will also help FriendFeed handle the flow of the submitted news in a more sophisticated way, but I wondering why FriendFeed didn’t do it itself, instead of letting other party develop for them. Nevertheless, this kind of spy sites is nothing new in the Web industry. Prior to this, there are Twitter Spy, del.icio.us Spy, YouTube Spy, and Digg Spy.

On the site, you can further filter the results appeared in real-time submitted by FriendFeed users into different categories such as news (digg, google reader, etc.) or bookmarking (del.icio.us, diigo, furl, etc.). Additionally, you can either play or pause the results fetching over from FriendFeed, but I don’t think it’s functioning properly at this moment, I’ve tried that. There is also a remote login which allow you to authenticate your account, and hence do some liking or commenting on the news submitted.
