Friendfeed is SoMese for Share

Feature after wonderful feature, Friendfeed’s web interface is beautifully elegant. Control the flow of your content stream from raging amazon river to gentle backyard creek with easy-to-create groups. Beautifully done is the find / invite friends feature which not only allows you to subscribe to friends from other social networks, but lets you create a group on-the-fly.

If you’re a marketer, social media pirate, brand, celebrity or super hero, you probably have a friendfeed account, but are you using it? We know that content is king and friendfeed allows you to bring it all together for show – while also allowing you access to ALL of your friends’ content. Seriously. The Friendfeed team was tied to a chair, eyelids glued open and force fed Barney and Sesame Street until they fully understood that EVERYTHING must be shared.

Share Your Content

And share you can! Not only does it have real-time, native integration with 58 (at post time) blogging, bookmarking, video, status, music, books and news tools, it allows you to integrate anything else with an RSS feed. I currently share content from 18 different sites on friendfeed.

Share Your Thoughts

Friendfeed’s Like | Comment | Share features allow you not only to add your own thoughts to a stream, but post them to link prediction markets like digg and stumbleupon or other micromedia sites like facebook and twitter.

Friendfeed has support for comments on any content, but also allows you to pass it through to other social properties with the Share link. Want to follow a conversation for the ages? Like it. The My Discussions feature will pull up everything you like or comment on so it does not get lost in a raging stream.

Share Other Content

Want to share content on Friendfeed? Use the tool bar bookmarklet, or email it to share@friendfeed.com. Friendfeed even has ways to notify you when you receive new content- via text messages and instant messenger. It’s borderline sick.

So, how serious are you about sharing? Probably not as serious as Friendfeed.

  • sorry for the belated response! I dunno. my main barrier to using ff more is duplication. seems like a lot of the people I follow already use variouos autopposting mechanism, so I see 4-5 versions of the same thing faithfully shared from theirt other social outlets. I'm working on something similar using a couple of posterous blogs in tandem with facebook, twitter and my wordpress blog. I can throw stuff up on posterous any which way. I can tell posterous to share immediately, or I can go in tweak it up a bit and then autopost. me and my 30-odd subscribers think it's pretty cool. I will take another looksee at ff, though. thanks for the update
