I wanted to talk a little about friendfeed today. I have been using the service for about six months now and I must admit I am very impressed with it.
Friendfeed recently went through quite a few changes to its user interface for example it now updates in real time, provides the option to direct message people, allows you to write a short bio about yourself and my personal favorite lets you create filters for your searches.
Why I love friendfeed let me count the ways.
1. You can share information or things you are interested in lightening quick with all your friends or colleagues. This can start a chain reaction if people enjoy what you are sharing they may comment or like the post. Some very interesting conversations can be started on friendfeed. Like wise you can comment on or like what your friends have shared (all in real time).
2. It's a one stop shop where you can add all your services that you may use already, for example YouTube,Flickr,Twitter,digg and many more keeping them all together in one place. Someone who never visits these sites normally would then be able to see the information or pictures that you provide at different places around the web.
3. With friendfeed you can make your feed private or leave it public so that anyone can see it. A private feed will allow you to approve every person who wants access to your feed and anything you post will not be seen by anyone else. If you decide on a public feed you still have the ability for privacy by using the direct message facility.
4. Friendfeed allows you to create a group around a particular topic for example I created a friendfeed group called Everything Scrapbooking where I post anything of interest about digital,hybrid and traditional scrapbooking. You can also join any other groups which may be of interest to you. Another great feature of friendfeed is the friendfeed bookmarklet which gives you the ability to post anything of interest that you find around the web either to your feed or your group or both.
5. You can also send an email to your feed or to your group which you can add a photo to if you so desire.
So give friendfeed a whirl I think you will enjoy the experience. Below this post I have included the links to my feed, and my Everything-Scrapbooking and Create-It rooms. I would love to see you around friendfeed please feel free to join my friendfeed room if the topics I post are of interest to you.
One final thing you may be interested in how I learned about friendfeed, this may be an interesting post for another time but for today I will just say have you heard of the 30 Day Challenge?
I can not take the credit for finding friendfeed, I would have had absolutely no clue about this service if it had not been for a certain guy who I am sure must be in his prime because he is one hell of a passionate teacher, so do yourself a favor and learn a little more about the 30DC I have also included the link for this as well.
