Interesting system you have going there. My main interface is Google Reader with a FriendFeed Real-time sidebar. GTalk I use through the client software. I am definitely going to try some of your methods out. Seeing how people use different approaches to interacting online always fascinates me. My way of doing things may not be the best.
- Rolf Schewe
Steve, thanks for sharing this productivity system. Much appreciated. Gmail is an awesome tool. I use the GTD inbox add on for task mgt. We have similar goals with Gmail. Make it into a personal productivity, communications and reference KM tool.

Re: Gmail Gateway I this is very cool stuff, but I wish Google Notebook could be integrated with Gmail as a gadget just like the calendar and docs applications. Also, you have made me reconsider whether to install the Google Toolbar. Thank you, Steve

When I first saw this headline I thought to myself I hope this isn't like Valleywag. :-) Although, I guess you all have seen my shower pictures so not too many more secrets than that. Other than I do sneak into the peanut butter occassionally. Seriously, good tips. I couldn't see any holes to fill in, so that's good!
- Robert Scoble
Daniel, you nailed it. Excellent spot on post!
- Mike Fruchter
I am a pretty new ff user...this was great information for me...thank you.
- John-David Lusan
I saw this heading and though of DIGG. Don't get me wrong Digg became what it is today due to the fact that people did most of this stuff to there community. I find that you need to have several Sources of sharing your content, for example: Google, FF, DIG, Stumbleupon. Here is a good discussion on that http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Paul
It's nice to finally see a Daniel Pritchett post, on Louisgray.com
- Mike Fruchter
Congrats to Daniel on your post! One thing I like to do is hide aggressively and partition users into lists. This allows me to focus on the content that I find helpful and can contribute to the conversation. Sorry, I realized that is two things, not one.
- Rob Diana
I just added a few more tips to the comment section on Daniel's post on Louis' blog.
- Robert Scoble
Thanks everyone for your support, especially Louis for giving me this chance to share my ideas with a wider audience.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
@Paul: There is certainly an element of marketing to promoting content on FriendFeed, whether it's your own or someone else's. I don't think there's anything wrong with that though. Paying close attention to metrics and the "success rate" of posts (as judged by likes and comments) helps each of us to understand what makes posts really useful to the community. I'd never suggest that anyone abandon their favorite site in favor of FriendFeed - you can have more than one favorite!
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Congratulations, Daniel!! You're a great addition to LG's site. :)
- Mona Nomura
Great post Daniel...congrats.
- Mark Krynsky
Funny, everyone who clicked like on this post BUT Jesper Lind subscribes to me (and me to them). What's up Jesper? :-)
- Robert Scoble
This is a very good post, kudos Daniel. And I'm not just saying that because I got a mention. LOL. It's hard for new people to figure out exactly what to do with FriendFeed. THere are also not enough posts like this one to help them along the way.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Robert, not everyone wants to listen to you :)
- Rob Diana
AND he's only SUBd to males, Robert. What's up with that?!
- Mona Nomura
Rahsheen, I agree
- Shevonne
Offended, Mona?
- Andrew Trinh
Observation, Andrew.
- Mona Nomura
Rob, I know that. I just wanted to hear the reasoning. But, still, one out of 40 ain't bad and I'm still following him, so if he posts anything interesting the rest of you will see it too.
- Robert Scoble
genieyclo: yup. I manually checked each one. I was looking mostly to make sure I was subscribed to everyone here.
- Robert Scoble
Excellent post Daniel! The tips are definitely spot on. My sentiments about FF are summed up well, it's definitely about conversation, sharing and promoting things not just from your feed but in others too, especially if you like it and it interests you! Together with Zee's 'unofficial guide' posts, this constitutes a great resource for those who are new to FF!
- Mo Kargas
Oooppsss, Jill, Superhero Librarian isn't following me either. Sob. Heheh.
- Robert Scoble
Great stuff!!! Congratulations!!!!!! :)
- Susan Beebe
How can someone using FriendFeed not subscribe to at least one female? Just off the top of my head, you have to subscribe to Sarah Perez, Corvida, Cynda, Mona and Tina. Those are just the "active" people, not to mention the various people who tweet or write for big blogs like Veronica B, Kristen Nicole and several more. And I apologize to any of the women I have missed in this quick list.
- Rob Diana
very good, great information and gets you thinking about optimization thanks for sharing.
- Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa
This was great. When I clicked I was skeptical but I was won over quickly.
- Andrew
Jill: they freaked me out too. Remind me never to get drunk with Valleywag reporters again. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Gregory, you might not subscribe to me, but I got a photo of you: http://www.flickr.com/photos...
- Robert Scoble
So is this likebait, instead of linkbait? :-)
- Louis Gray
Good stuff but as a FF newbie, I would have loved to seen a few tips about friend discovery. I get your point that the idea is to help people find you, but I wonder if there are search capabilities like a Twellow for Twitter. Thanks
- Brian Schwartz
What i like is the way your personal page can somehow "recommend" users to help you know who to subscribe to.
- tony
Brian, the best way to "find" friends, is to look at the posts people share and the comments they contribute. If you like those parts, you probably found someone worth subscribing to.
- Rob Diana
@Brian Schwartz: I largely rely on Rob Diana's advice about organically growing my FF network. Every so often I still check these two tools to find compatible FFers outside of my extended network: FF Like Compatibility Calc and LA Likers: http://is.gd/8ewf
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Good post. I need to learn about the whole imaginary friends piece. Kind of confuses me. @ Brian - I am a little less new right now and I recommend going to the rooms and joining them and participating there. Then expand your friend subscriptions from there. Also, use your google reader, twitter and whatever else to create your own "feed." . Also include your blog there. If u are into music, sign up for last fm or pandora (I use pandora w/iphone too) and then share your musical tastes as well.
- Amani
great article ... thanks!
- Jay
Great post, Daniel. #8 is so true - I constantly think about how things are going to appear in FriendFeed when I do things on other sites (do I want it to appear on FF, should I share it directly instead...). And #13 is good advice I still need work on. I try to search before posting, but sometimes I still get petulant when I didn't find the sharable thing first (which is usually).

Handy post, nice work!

@Mike: I'm entrusting you with the crucial task of creating 6 more FF accounts and clicking likelikelikelikelike. Edit: No, not really.

I am a bit late getting here but, loved the article none the less! Gave me a few tips I had not even thought of. Thanks!

EtherPad: Dead Simple Real Time Collaboration - ReadWriteWeb - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
Charlie Anzman, Zee., Morton Fox and 2 other people liked this
"EtherPad is not likely to win a price for its user interface design, but it might just be one of the most useful web apps we have seen in quite a while. EtherPad allows you to instantly create a workspace for text documents that you can then share with your colleagues, clients, or friends. Every edit to the document will immediately appear on your co-workers' screens in real-time."

Re: Etherpad Seems easy enough. As I watched the screencast on their site, it made me wonder whatever happened to Netmeeting and whether there is a Web 2.0 app that does the same thing Netmeeting did.
