Created by Ray Grieselhuber, Gridjit uses the FriendFeed & Twitter API extensively to create an interactive social portal home page. It visually organizes your FriendFeed and Twitter time lines into columns. It spreads out your time line by user, and shows that users’ most recent posts, in arrangeable blocks, distributed vertically across the grid.
This could be your new home page, social portal.
Gridjit Features:
- Content streams displayed in three vertical columns as opposed to one vertical column.
- Visualization of your conversations on a clean layout, with arrangeable blocks of content.
- Displays of the latest messages according to user, instead of in chronological order.
- Ability to like, comment and post directly to FriendFeed & Twitter.
- Drill through other people’s view on the web by clicking on their usernames and the people they “@” tag
Grid of people I currently follow on FriendFeed.

This grid consists of the current content I’m sharing on FriendFeed.
In addition to liking and commenting, you can post directly to FriendFeed and Twitter without ever leaving the Gridjit portal
Gridjit is currently in the private alpha stage. With that being said, the services and feature set is relatively small. I’m sure it will go grow in time. The site looks promising, and it will be very interesting watching how it evolves.

Thanks very much for the kind mention, Michael.
I do have a lot planned for Gridjit and I'd love to hear if you have specific requests / features that you think would make Gridjit more enjoyable.
Currently in development are features to bring in your FriendFeed comments, likes, rooms and Twitter replies. I hope to have that out this week. This will hopefully round some things out for those two networks.
Thanks again!
Nice find! Thanks!
