I was thinking about settings up a private group on FF for the people I work with. I think it would be better than sending tons of emails back and forth, and a great place to collaborate. Has anyone done this? How is it going?

It would be excellent if you could get people to join and then actually use it.
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
We are doing this, it works... But you need to reach a "critical mass". The contributors/readers ratio is approx. 1/10.
- PiccoloImprenditore
There are only 3 of us (including myself) so it shouldn't be too hard to get them to join. I just wanted to see if anyone else has been doing this.
- Shawn Hickman
piccolo, how many people are currently in your group?
- Shawn Hickman
Check out Socialcast - TechCrunch talked about them yesterday - the "FriendFeed for business" http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
- Mike Bracco
Mike, I was actually just looking at them. Seems pretty cool. I was trying to make FF my central hub for as many things as possible, so I will see how that goes.
- Shawn Hickman
Shawn - gotcha :) Yeah FF is becoming my central hub these days too. It's nice to have a service that can integrate with everything else like FF does. It definitely beats having to go to a bunch of different places on the web.
- Mike Bracco
I just need FF to integrate into a client like Seesmic Desktop or Tweetdeck so I can have the trifecta of FB/Twitter/FF in one place.
- Mike Bracco
That's what I am waiting for too. I would love to have nothing but FF open in my browser all day. I wonder how Google Wave will affect this.
- Shawn Hickman
Shawn, we are 10 + many freelance consultants, depending on the project. What I'm really missing now is a way to "open" single threads to externals (customers). Looks like Google Wave might be more effective for this - that would be a problem because I love FF.
- PiccoloImprenditore
Use "YAMMER" http://www.yammer.com/ or Socialcast.
- Alp
piccolo, thanks for the info. It is going to be interesting to see how FF reacts to Google Wave.
- Shawn Hickman
Alp, thanks. I am looking into both. Do you use any of them?
- Shawn Hickman
Yammer is great. We use it for a team of 6 and it's perfect. I even have it set up to come to my SMS so I am reachable when I'm out of the office.
- Ward Seward
We use Yammer as well, and it works reasonably well for us (w/o the 140 char limit). Yet to figure to SMS it, as most of our use is asynch and not time critical.

Mike B: twhirl supports twitter and friendfeed, still lacks facebook though
- Mike Chelen
We have been playing with this in the group that I work with and it does have some use. We have found that some things like task assignments seem to still work best in email. We do find it useful to have short conversations about new sites that we have found and about designs that we are working on. There have been instances deep within a 'discussion' where we really wish we had some threading features.

I do believe FF could become a very efficient collaboration platform for business, but there are only few known success stories. If it worked for you, please tell us how and why http://friendfeed.com/friendf....
- Jérôme Flipo
Funny you should mention this. The tech team at my church have been considering using FF as way of setting up specific live-streaming ministry communication/collaboration. Let us know how it continues to develop for you. My biggest concern is security and unnecessary feeds dropping in.

Collecta Enters The Real Time Search Wars - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
Looks like this is the week for launch real time search engines - first CrowdEye and not Collecta. My own feeling is real time is over rated. But then again won't the first time I was wrong. all this chatter about real time info (besides reminding of day traders) makes Walden and Thoreau so much farther!

If a cmpny were to sponsor some kick-ass business cards for you - your template, but carry a logo and short msg on the back. Would u agree?
NOT! especially if I want to be taken seriously, I should be prep'd to cough up the few bucks to make my own cards; why dilute with someone else's msg?

Boy, without touching upon address book rationalization across mailboxes & domains, I have done what others have suggested, gone to four clear email accounts for personal, writing/blogging, work & catch-all. That way work & personal get everyday attention (gmail & Thunderbird iMAP), writing blogging gets auto-forwarded into personal, but gets dedicated twice/week & catchall may be even be once in 15 days/longer. got myself somewhat adjusted (coming from Eudora withdrawal) into the gmail way of doing things.
