Wowd: filtered Facebook, but not ready for prime time?

Wowd has an interesting idea: to give you a filtered Facebook. Interesting idea, but ReadWriteWeb has panned the implementation (because you have to load your software): http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/wowd_introduces_a_filtered_facebook_resu...

Anyway, you can find them at http://www.wowd.com/ and we'll keep watching this company to see how they move to the cloud. Myself? I do a large chunk of my Facebook reading on my iPad. I think the company made a huge mistake by not supporting that platform.

Another point of view on Wowd? http://www.insidefacebook.com/2010/08/09/wowd-client-refine/

Facebook has Lists. Just does people, doesn't do topics.

Surprised you aren't using them Scoble!

@nightshadelabsvideo Facebook sucks. Can't let me follow as many people I want to follow. Twitter is far superior for that kind of reading and Twitter lists work a lot better than the ones on Facebook.

Its pretty sad the a separate company has to fix twitter search. Twitter search sucks. Very difficult to find an old tweet.

Wowd looks cool. Can't wait to try it out.

There are people on earth who don't have an iPhone or iPad and just own a Windows PC... They are called mainstream users.
