As you progress deeper into social media you begin to be enthralled by sites like Digg, Stumbled Upon and Friendfeed. Today we will take a look at Friendfeed.
Friendfeed Basics
Friendfeed has the ability to aggregate all of your social media and social networking feeds into one place. I have a CreeksBend Media Friendfeed account but have only just begin to understand its full benefit. This article by Ben Parr at Mashable on Friendfeed is a good step by step intro. I think the 5th step regarding organizing your feed, ” Build Friend List to Manage Flow”, is an important one and an easy one to think you will get back to. As you add new people take the time at that moment to organize them into your existing list. It can quickly become an insurmountable task if you put it off to do later, which I admit I am guilty of doing.
Update on New Interface
Below is a video supplied by TechCrunch regarding the new Friendfeed interface. It is not a how-to as much as the new stuff and why they implemented it.
Why Friendfeed?
As you read in the Mashable article the advocates of Friendfeed claim it to be one of the most commuinty-oriented social areas you can become involved in. I am just starting to get more involved at Friendfeed but I have found it to be a great way to see what topics are trending and see what the people I follow are looking at. I am still learning about marking favorites and being selective about subscriptions. I did join a couple rooms to see how the conversation works in these areas. Comment below and tell me what you like about Friendfeed and of course pass on any tip that will help us use it better.
