My friendfeed URL is part of my email signature. - Hutch Carpenter
edelman is ok with that? - Allen Stern
when it's time to order a new batch of Moo cards, i'm going to do the same. - Iain Baker
@Allen This is in addition to edelmandigital.com. My blog is already there. May times we give out our Twitter URLs. - Steve Rubel
Steve, I'm on the fence. I like the notion of it, but fear it might seem overwhelming, disorganized for many. - Robert Seidman
I think you should use steverubel.me and redirect to friendfeed. - Shawn McCollum
I just can't handle friendfeed, too much too quick. Just started using it again today after a couple months. - Chris Rohde

@shawn I like that idea. I already have the domain. - Steve Rubel
@Seidman good points, as always. - Steve Rubel
Steve, if FriendFeed had a better profile it would be a fantastic idea. Without that type of information, it may be a bit confusing. Twitter is straightforward in what it does, FF is quite intimidating for new people. - Rob Diana
seriously good point Steve. I run ny ff stream on my blog sidebar, and its the most complete view of me. For others, FF has 43 services which can be aggregated into FF. - bankwatch

My FF URL is what I use now for every time I am asked to share a link.... cool! - Susan Beebe
It would make sense for now as FF starts to be the central place. - Joao
I still think your blog is the way to go - Allen Stern
i use my handle's domain so that i can point folks to whatever my favorite online locations are at the moment - this stuff changes to much... - mike "glemak" dunn
Steve, thanks for the kind words. I think I'm off the fence now and on Allen's side of it. - Robert Seidman
@rob, @ robert, good points maybe steve could put friendfeed in a frame. use steverubel.me, setup a 200px or so frame with business card type info on the left and on the right friendfeed. - Shawn McCollum
own your identity Steve. - Kingsley Joseph

shawn's suggestion is good, but instead of redirect you could render the contents of http://friendfeed.com/steverub... in a more "you" way. As other people say, dumping contacts into FriendFeed UI might be a bit much. My opinion is "brand it as you so people know they're talking to the right person, then pass through to FriendFeed (or whatever service) you want to use for them to stay in touch." (And optionally, get the service to pay you for doing so, if the connection is not payment enough.) - Wade Dorrell
one word: identi.my - Pajama Domain

Only If FriendFeed let me customize my FF page... - Kerem Ozkan
moo.com :-) - Ansgar Wollnik
stick with the blog only - that should be enough for anyone to find you online as well as any other communities you're an active member of (FF, Twitter, Facebook and so on). - Ron Emrick
