Tamagotchi in the News (TIN) showcases news articles, weblogs and media appearances that are NOT Tamagotchi-related but for some reason, Bandai's virtual pet gets mentioned in some way or appears in some form showing that it is still part of our lives.
Today's TIN takes us to a fairly new site in Friendfeed.com. LA Times features FriendFeed.com and its founder, Paul Buchheit.

Friendfeed's aim is to keep the people up to date with web content to make sure that all of its users are happy. A comment from Paul Graham calls this "Be Good" mantra the Tamagotchi effect.
Who knew the Tamagotchi can be used for motivational purposes? |
