Dairy Queen recognizes how to leverage social media, they also realize that it’s about going where your customers are and establishing a presence. Dairy Queen engages their customers and fans through their blog, their Facebook page, Twitter account and now finally on FriendFeed.

My State of Social Media
It seems that for many, this thing or shall I say buzzword we call social media has become strictly a numbers game. He who has the most followers wins. We are seeing this time and time again, on Twitter, Facebook and so forth. It’s at a point where it’s out of control, I feel. The [...]

This time around I’m highlighting 20 more people that I find interesting, and I think that you will too. The post in [...]
What does your digital fingerprint say about you?
I was thinking about all the data we lifestream. What does this data say about us? How valuable is this data in the right corporation’s hands? Bookmarks are very telling of a individuals mindset, habits, and interests. The same interpretations can be made about the data we lifestream. A person’s digital fingerprint is a potential [...]
Fake following in social media: Yay or Nay?
In the world of social media, establishing, engaging, maintaining and growing your follower base is crucial for any type of success. We use a variety of social networking sites, tools, and platforms to establish and broadcast to our potential and existing follower base. Power in numbers often dictates and dominates the said outcomes. We work [...]
The bookmarking system on FriendFeed
The bookmarking system I am referring to is liking something on FriendFeed. Liking an item not only serves as an encouraging vote for the content author, but it also serves as a great bookmarking tool.
In addition, the liking feature performs as a:
Presence system
Bookmarking system
Recognition system
The river of content flows fast and furiously on FriendFeed. Often, [...]
Getting social with bookmarking on FriendFeed.
I posted a few days ago on FriendFeed about wanting to get more social with my bookmarking. I primarily was referring to using all the features of Diigo to their full extent. One of which is the ability to comment on bookmarks. Hutch Carpenter recently commented on some of my Diigo bookmarks. This is what [...]
Make FriendFeed & Twitter your social portal
Created by Ray Grieselhuber, Gridjit uses the FriendFeed & Twitter API extensively to create an interactive social portal home page. It visually organizes your FriendFeed and Twitter time lines into columns. It spreads out your time line by user, and shows that users’ most recent posts, in arrangeable blocks, distributed vertically across the grid.
This could [...]
Viral on FriendFeed
I am always on the search for the latest and greatest social media applications. I am often too quick to sign up for a service based solely on hype. Perhaps most of us technophiles are an easy sell. Mention the word “beta” and you have a new instant subscriber, no questions asked. Whether or not [...]
The last few days on FriendFeed
Last week I decided to stray from the herd on FriendFeed. My mission was to spend five days getting to know the people that I follow better. For five days I only commented, liked and shared content of individuals in my member circle. For the most part the experiment was a success. My mistake was [...]
Paying it forward on FriendFeed
This idea was inspired from this post by J. Phil of scribkin.com. The idea is simple, and I think will be very rewarding.
When I first joined FreindFeed in February, it was easy to maintain a normal balance of my friends and their activities. This was easy because my number of subscriptions was low. Five months [...]
Staying active in social media.
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 [...]
Spam invades Friendfeed
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 [...]
Friendfeed link love
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.

The inevitable ticking time bomb awaiting Friendfeed.
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 – So virtual yet so rewarding…
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 [...]
Friendfeed.. How do you like it?
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 [...]
