I know, I know. I screamed and I cried when FB bought FF and although it's utter pants compared to FF, FB is not as bad as I thought. - Kol Tregaskes

Because of Friendfeed, I've found myself using the World Clock a lot lately: + Hong Kong + London (mainly for David Bausola (zeroinfluencer) + Paris (mainly for Véronique Rabuteau) + Istanbul (for the uber large design community on Friendfeed. A great find!) - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

Thank you :) - Véronique Rabuteau

"Hi, my name is Johnny. I’m here to tell you about a social networking site so good, Facebook bought the people who designed it. What is that service you ask? It’s called FriendFeed. That’s right, you may have heard of us before. We have been called a rival to Twitter or Facebook etc but that’s not really the point of the site. We are a central hub, an aggregator, a Twitter client, a RSS catcher, podcasting client, photo sharing service and discussion platform… The most important part? It’s a community. It’s at this stage I would like to speak to all of you who are Twitter Fanbois who are going to fill my inbox with things like “there are communities on Twitter” and “I can have discussions here” and “Twitter is the place to be because everyone is here”. I ask of you two things. 1) Realize that this post isn’t for you. It’s not about Twitter. You won, congrats, don’t be sore winners and 2) Send me a tweet @jworthington with the hashtag #wrongjohnny explaining your point. Only 1 tweet though. With those two elements, you have 115 characters left." - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet

Searching for available solutions have made me very lazy about programming these days but I don't have time. So out of the box solution would be a god-send. - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

I've updated the URL for OpenFF's Facebook Page. You can find it at http://www.facebook.com/openff - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

"Since the site's acquisition by Facebook this summer, I have not talked much about my thoughts on the future of FriendFeed, aside from the initial response saying it was not "dead". There hasn't been a major compelling event to do so, but it keeps coming up, so I thought I would share my thoughts, in light of what we've seen since August." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

For some strange reason, the two Friendfeed META tags and the LINK tag highlighted in the first (top) picture are NOT SEEN by the feed checker @validator.w3.org. Compare this with the second/bottom pic, a screendump of returned source code by http://validator.w3.org/feed... - i.e. the RSS feed of my imaginary friend "MacOSX Hints." Its URL has been copied from link @bottom of page: http://friendfeed.com/0f96695... Same NO-RESULT goes[not] for the Google Reader (see my earlier, unsuccessful attempt at waking up FF-Powers-That-Be™ http://friendfeed.com/friendf...) - ianf ⌘

I wonder what the other FFers' Backtype looks like :) - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet

btw Backtype's useful to see comment aggregation, but it's even more useful for replies to comments you made on other people's items on Friendfeed as FF does not send you notifications of those items: http://www.backtype.com/search... - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

Just another social network yet I like it. - Xavier Mathews from email

Enlighten me too please! Whats a poke apart from a nudge on the shoulder? Like waking up someone from sleep or slumber may be? - TrafficBug

What I meant was: what purposes does it serve on a social media - now it's just nuisance. - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

Unbelievably great content from this feed!!! - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet

"BackType is a real-time, conversational search engine. We index and connect online conversations from across the web in real-time, so you can see what people are saying about topics that interest you." - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet

Interesting tool. It picked up many Friendfeed replies on Friendfeed in the comment chain that I did not know exist because Friendfeed by default does not send email when someone reply to you in the comment area. It also shows many Twitter RT that I did not know about because somehow they picked up my Friendfeed RSS (or maybe they are using Yahoo Pipes) so I was not notified by those Twitter mentions. - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

"Moopz is a new service that brings together conversations about web articles, blog entries, and other web links.  Moopz takes items and comments from FriendFeed and presents them in different ways:" - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet

Another such site is ubervu. Moopz also reminds me of Backtype. If you search for a particular url, then it displays reactions, conversations and buzz around it. - TrafficBug

Didn't know about http://backtype.com - thanks for the tip! - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

I use the same principal on Twitter. - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

"Twitter mentions of @smluniverse @smlbw @smlfineart @smlmen @smlviz @smlflickr @lifecelebrates @smlgfxdesign @seeminglee" #free #socialmedia #friendfeed #twitter #tools - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet

Thanks, I've only one account but it's a great tip nevertheless. For some reason it only pulled in three old mentions when I do have more. - Simon Curran

@Simon.Curran It's not the fault of Friendfeed I don't think - Twitter Search as a default doesn't keep mentions more than 7 days (I have noticed this as well) - but if you use Friendfeed to feed your Twitter, then you'll get more than 7 days of mentions.. weird. So essentially while Twitter is limiting the indexing to save their server time, as soon as this gets turned on, you will have perma-store on FF :) - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

My FriendFeed usage is way beyond my Twitter usage, though. - Akiva Moskovitz
