Michael Harris recently posted on his blog, “Should I unsubscribe from people who don’t follow me back?” Felix, a member on FriendFeed, recently released a handy little FriendFeed script called FriendVenn. The script tells you 3 important things: People who you subscribe to, and people who do not reciprocate. People who subscribe to you and [...]
The criteria for staying active in social media can be defined and interpreted in many different ways. This leads me to the foundation first, contribution. The frequency at which we contribute, dictates the level of our activity and inactivity in social media.Measuring an individuals level of activeness can be based on the mechanisms we use [...]
I wrote a post a little over a week ago titled “The ticking time bomb awaiting Friendfeed.” I talked about how Friendfeed will become a spammer’s new tool, more specifically on how they could monetize on their efforts using rooms on Friendfeed. Spam on social networking sites and applications is nothing new, it just comes [...]

Last night I blogged about 10 people you should follow on Friendfeed. This morning when I awoke and checked my email, I was pleasantly surprised. My inbox was flooded with 70+ new subscribers. 70+ new editors, who for the most part, (I) think share a majority of the same interests as I do. As you [...]
On Friendfeed, I am currently subscribed to 190 people. This post lists the top 10 people I find the most interesting, according to Friendfeed. If you share the same general interests in social media as I do, you should consider subscribing to their feeds. If you are currently subscribed to me on Friendfeed, then you [...]
I focused in on my last post, about how Friendfeed could be a great resource for spammers. Delving further into the subject, it got me thinking. With Friendfeed becoming a social bank of information, it would be an ideal tool for private investigators, law enforcement, debt collectors and so forth. We are so quick to [...]
With the steady growth that Friendfeed is experiencing, it’s just a matter of time before the problem of spam infiltrates it.Friendfeed is still the shiny new toy that only the people in the know, know about. Because of this, the critical masses and the spammers have not caught on quite yet. The clock is ticking…. [...]
Friendfeed is at its core, a content aggregator, but it is transforming into so much more. It’s becoming an online buffet of social media. It will satisfy any virtual hunger one may seek. It’s a smorgasbord of social interaction, and it keeps you coming back for more. It satisfies even the most insatiable appetite for [...]
One of my favorite functions on Friendfeed is the “like” feature. The higher “likes” an item gets, the more attention it gets from the community. Think of likes as a reward system. The Friendfeed tech savvy crowd instantly recognizes quality and rewards the content authors and distributors with likes. Having a bigger subscriber base helps. [...]
Seven days into my experiment on Friendfeed, I have begun to see some results. Some are good, some are bad. This post is highlighting just one of the negative effects of the experiment. I recently visited rssmeme.com leaderboard, and was shocked to see I am number 4. The experiment has 48 Google Reader shared feeds. [...]
Friendfeed is rapidly growing from a life streaming content aggregator, to something much bigger then it set it out to be. If you look at the bigger picture, it’s becoming a free online social encyclopedia, or what I would call the Wikipedia of social networking.Franklin Pettit recently blogged about Temperature Taking on Friendfeed. This is [...]
I’m running a little ongoing experiment using the rooms feature on Friendfeed. Friendfeed recently added the ability to add RSS feeds into rooms. Being a big RSS and Google Reader junkie, I decided to start a room dedicated only to an individual’s Google Reader feed. I posted on Friendfeed asking for people’s Google Shared URL, [...]

Looking to establish a presence on the Internet? Whether a corporate/personal website, e-commerce site or blog, the two basic fundamentals that are needed and never change, are a domain name and a good web host. The former needs no explanation, the latter is a different story. We are a society currently living in the Wal-Mart [...]
Addiction -The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or involved in something. The question is simple, are you addicted to online social networking e.g. Friendfeed, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and too what extent? Do you obsessively check your multiple social networking sites accounts every hour on the hour or less? Do you constantly check [...]
I wanted to start off this blog post talking about “noise” on friendfeed. What is noise you ask? The noise level is all relevant to the amount of people you subscribe to. A good example is Robert Scoble. While at first I did not subscribe to him (nothing personal), I do now. Scoble probably has [...]
The one thing I’m starting to enjoy more and more on Friendfeed is image streams. It definitely adds color to Friendfeed’s ghostly white background. By using Freindfeed’s public service links, you can tap in to the true power of Flickr. The public Flickr link shows all Flickr streams that are being shared in real time. [...]
With the birth of my daughter Kaylee just 2 weeks ago, this problem surfaced, how do I archive all of her pictures, videos and twitter posts? The two ideas I had were, put all this content online via a cms system such as drupal, or just use a newly created gmail account for picture storage [...]
