I believe friendfeed has been a valuable resource for like-minds (us) to come together and share information with our fellow peers. It is a academic resource that is going to be utilised by me throughout my career. Friendfeed has helped me a lot to understand important topics by using links posted by other people. The comments section has enabled me to ask questions and help other people with problems. Friendfeed is a unique foundation for students from our degree streams to interact with peers and tutors, in a professional manner. For me it has partially replaced the previous emailing system as any one subscribed to me can respond to my queries and vice versa. The involvement of tutors like Dr Cann, Dr Willmott etc has been beneficial in last minute help with assignments through direct messages. - Kashif Qamar

[continued .... :) ] .... As we all know that this semester has involved a lot a group work, for instance the poster presentations. Friend feed has allowed groups and team members to interact and communicate with each other in a more convenient manner. In addition to this, the 'like' tab has enabled people to appreciate fellow peers work and therefore raising morale. One of the best part of using friendfeed was to learn weird and wonderful facts that people have posted for e.g. who knew sea weed can be used to fight obesity? Also being able to post videos, animations and photos on friendfeed has allowed me to get a better understanding of difficult concepts from the lectures. - Kashif Qamar
