FriendFeed gets rooms, so does Scripting News
Thursday, May 22, 2008 by Dave Winer.
An interesting but mysterious new feature appeared today in FriendFeed, rooms, and of course we have to try it out. 
I created a room for Scripting News. What shall we use it for? I have no clue. Help me figure it out.
Something just jumped out at me. Is this the Digg-in-a-Box that I was asking for many months ago?
These guys always confuse me, in a fun way.
