How to use Friendfeed in your social media strategy - 3) FriendFeed as peripheral vision - see what someone Stumbles, tags in Flickr, etc. - http://johnhaydon.com/2009...

Much of a blogger’s life is, well… their blog. FriendFeed allows you to catch the content a blogger creates on the periphery of their blog. For example, in addition to reading Chris Garrett’s blog (which I subscribe to by email), I can also see what Chris Stumbles, or tags in Flickr.

How to use Friendfeed in your social media strategy - 4) As a “first responder” (Notifier provides instant updates w/o going to FriendFeed) - http://johnhaydon.com/2009...
Mike Chelen and Kol Tregaskes liked this
The FriendFeed Notifier is a desktop application that allows you to view your friends activity without having to visit FriendFeed.com. The moment a friend of yours bookmarks an article in Delicious, or reviews content in Stumbleupon, the FriendFeed desktop notifier window pops up. You can view, like and comment directly from the notification window - instantly.

Another way to enhance your professional and personal relationships is be a source of fresh and valuable information. FriendFeed’s cornerstone feature is that it allows folks to receive fresh content from the people that they know and trust. If Darren Rowse shares an interesting article on Photography, I know that that will be valuable content because he’s a trusted professional. In other words, social proof is built right in to the FriendFeed platform.

Finally, with Friendfeed, you can organize folks by “relationship type”: Business, personal, partners, mentors – or any category your choose.

I Had been on a microsoft Office fast for the past 4 months, I only use online Apps like Evernote, and Google Docs, FluidApp has revolutionized all of that even More! I now Just have Google Docs on my desktop, along with GETDROPBOX.COM for my Online storage (2gigs free!) Seriously I am doing more and more ministry in "the cloud"

i use evernote to "scan" documents i need at work that are already in "paper" form. beats me running to the xerox machine and scanning them via email to my comp. plus i can email them straight from my phone. just emailed my boss the staff cellphone list today that he couldn't find but was sitting in my evernote app.
- Tyler Gillies
I use google docs, friendfeed and evernote. Currently trying to figure out how to best use Tumblr.
- michael mcminn
Justin, me too. I've started using gmail after outlook crashed on me one last time a couple weeks ago. My company is moving all our policies and procedures onto Google Docs. I'm considering moving from a desktop RSS reader to Google Reader, but haven't made the move yet.
- Paul Steinbrueck
or stop using an "rss reader" and import your rss feeds into a private/semi private group. i haven't opened up google reader once since i started using friendfeed heavily.
- Tyler Gillies
Yes. I love using all of those. I am enjoying Evernote more and more
- John Snyder
Wow. This is a great discussion going on here... Tyler, how do you "scan" stuff via evernote? The only app that I can find that does OCR stuff is JotNot... But it seems buggy.
- Justin Wise
A friend of mine mentioned that the new iPhone 3GS has a macro mode that really helps scanning documents up close into Evernote. I could be wrong, but I believe that's what he said. Have the 3G here.
- Gabe Taviano
Have you tried Springpad? It looks very promising - http://www.springpadit.com/ and it's totally free. I'm also trying out Evernote.

Tyler- with FF as an RSS reader, what do you do to "star" items to come back to later, or send (email) items to ppl who don't use FF?

I love Google Calendar, Remember the Milk, and Evernote!! They all sync so nicely with my BlackBerry 8900 and I don't have 50,000 little scraps of paper anymore.

Watching Mark Driscoll's Trial series. What are your thoughts on him? First time I've seen him
seems kinda off. but has some good points
- Tyler Gillies
I really enjoy his sermons. I watch them in iTunes but not as much as I used to. I have read his book "Confessions of a Reformissional Rev." I devoured it. It was very transparent and funny. I like his preaching style. He has lots of Calvinistic influences, but is very modern with the way Mars Hill is. Blunt, but seems to be spot on with everything I have watched.
- Justin
Ok I'm in. So as a tweetdeck addict. How do you keep up with the info flow here?
The flow here seems to be a bit more constant, with messages sometimes turning into a 30-40 response thread. I'm already interacting with you more than on Twitter......it's working!
- Gabe Taviano
Yea, the flow is much more useful. I dig it. It just needs to be more portable for me I think.
- Spirit 2.0
I've heard good things about this Blackberry-friendly site. Let me know if it works for portability? http://www.fftogo.com
- Gabe Taviano
haha, useing the groups, friendlists and saved searches is essential - and not trying to keep up with everything, but just the best things is good too.
- Tony
I think that is going to be my problem Tony, I'm used to trying to drink out of the Twitter Firehose
- Spirit 2.0
Yeah, just need to learn it's okay to let leakage happen and trust the community to help beat bubble to top.
- Tony
I've just learned how to survive the Twitter firehose... this might send me into sensory overload.
- Tony LaMarca
Gabe: Thanks for the tip on the FF To Go site! It works great on my 8900. I have been enjoying FF, but needed to have it portable like Spirit 2.0 said. I feel like I'm the only one without an iPhone.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to best use Tumblr in my Social Media Repertoire?
I'm interested in this too.
- Neil Johnston
I would like to know- I love Tumblr but still am navigating myself through it. I really like the reblog feature. Do you want to use Tumblr to help create community cohesiveness or as a blog interface?
- Ashley A Smith
Honestly I don't know. I was in the process of transfering my blog from blogger over to wordpress when I (stupidly) let my domain name expire... anyway, so not so much as a blog, unless I make a place where blogs entries not really fitting my categories of my main blog. I don't know I just really like the look and usability of Tumblr but think I need to make it a focused part of how I use social media, now it just collects some of my updates from other sources like twitter.
- michael mcminn
I've tried to use it - but all that I was using it for is now done better by posterous, in my opinion.
- Tony
As much as I hate to say it, Tumblr has a very narrow niche, especially non-traditional blogging, with as many the same features as most blogging platforms. It is more of a Dart-board where you can throw up a thought here a picture there, a song here and share the details instead of just talking about them. I would suggest using it like a customized Twitpic, all posts through tumblr go to twitter with a custom tumblr address. Good Luck (ministryhd.tumblr.com)
- Ryan Smith
im using posterous (which is like tumblr) to post all my personal "favorites", so that way i have an interactive bookmark list

Hey guys - what ares some ideas you have for conversations here in the ministryfriendfeeders group?
I really like the way the Orgins Project http://theoriginsproject.org/ has allowed for open conversations about missional movement. I think it would be relevant to discuss leveraging technology, social media, networking, etc. in the ministry world- evangelism, discipleship, human theory... how not to be lame :) The message (the Gospel, Truth) never changes, but our methods do. How is...

Is this like a CloverSites.com for online churches?
- Justin Wise
Ashley, I think a lot about how much the relationship with Church and social media & networking has changed in the last year, and I frequently wonder what the next step will be & how we will be able to be at the forefront of it, instead of catching up to it. Thankfully there are folks who are thinking the same thing and coming up with some pretty cool stuff.
- Amanda Sims
I would love to see actual tool beta testing and collaboration- and then the sharing of that information to our social networks a good example was the logo for this group, We all have sources and resources to create some great stuff even a mini-online conference monthly with chats creating a think-tank environment for the next tech revolution in ministry
- Ryan Smith
how i run it at my church is that i take composite cable from camera into a vcr with a dv out over firewire. then plug firewire in our mac and use livestream.com to broadcast to internet.

I guess I see facebook as a conglomeration of all the people I've known throughout my life - though most of them I never interact with after all this time. With Twitter, I have folks with whom I interact, or from whom I gain insight or information, NOW. It's more current, for the most part, than facebook.
- Amanda Sims
i use my facebook as glorified email
- Tyler Gillies
Amanda, that's interesting. FWIW, I think Twitter is like MySpace in its spammyness. In the brief time I used MySpace I was getting spammy friend requests all the time, I now get spammy twitter follows all the time too. With facebook I rarely get a friend request fro someone I dont' know.
- Paul Steinbrueck
how awesome is this right now - seriously! love the friendfeed
- Tony
Paul: agreed - twitter's social capital is all bent on popularity, just like myspaces was. creates to much stress on relationship and invites connecting with people for all the wrong reasons. sites likeFF and Facebook arean't about personality stats, but quality of the connections made.
- Tony
whats fwiw?

For What It's Worth
- Amanda Sims
nevermind figured it out. blah the conversation is faster than i can think heh
- Tyler Gillies
I've only been on FF for 10 minutes and I can already say I love the threaded discussion. Something that sets it apart from twitter and it has in common with Facebook
- Paul Steinbrueck
I guess it's all in how you see it personally too. I don't really think of Twitter as popularity - I think of it as a way I can learn from folks who may never respond to a friend request on facebook because they don't know me from Adam, but who have something to say that would add value to my experience.
- Amanda Sims
you don't need to be popular to be heard
- Tyler Gillies
sims: for sure - you don't have to do it that way. but how do you determine how valuable someone is on first look? twitter puts follower counts front and center and uses it as a main value metric. you don't see that any where on facebook, and friend feed includes more stats like comments etc. to show a focus on conversation
- Tony
Good point Tony. Sort of like a blog I guess....doesn't matter how many subscribers people have, if they never comment, lol.
- Gabe Taviano
True, Tony...that is the stat that people see first. But when I choose to follow someone it's often after either having a recommendation from someone I trust, or from looking at a person's feed to see what they've already had to say. I don't look at the numbers to decide whether to follow or not.
- Amanda Sims
I guess I'm probably unlike most twitter users in that way. I see little clusters of community even in the folks I follow on twitter.
- Amanda Sims
i think its been proven that twitter follower count is a pointless metric
- Tyler Gillies
One reason why I haven't opted for any of those "gain 1,000 followers every day for free" campaigns, lol. Doubt there will much personal interaction from those cats.
- Gabe Taviano
exactly - and there is just a lot of that
- Tony
Love your comment Paul. Feel exactly the same way. But if Tony's here, I need to pay closer attention ;)
- Dawn Nicole Baldwin
i like that theres no "replies" you never reply to a person. always a group of people. except for DMs which are epic on friendfeed also
- Tyler Gillies
haha, this is honestly the best interaction I've had on friendfeed - but the conversation tool and social technology is amazing. direct messages & groups here are truly next level vs. all the other options out there. you can direct multiple people - i could go on and on. whether it ever gets mass adoption, the social tech being developed here is being copied and implemented around the web. brilliatn.
- Tony
Amanda, I use Facebook exclusively for family and personal friends. With twitter I follow anyone who seems interesting plus anyone who follows me. I'm trying to find a way to manage a group in TweetDeck that has everyone I follow and then remove from the group all the self-promoting follow-just-to-get-followed folks
- Paul Steinbrueck
yeah thats what i like about internet technology. even if that service dies. what it started lives on
- Tyler Gillies
didn't know you can DM multiple people. have to try that one out
- Tyler Gillies
Paul, I'm actually the opposite for FB.. primarily work stuff, twitter is friends [colleagues] & I'm totally digging the new tweetdeck w/multiple accounts

what i like about friendfeed is you don't need "multiple accounts" you can just have multiple groups

I upgraded tweetdeck this evening, added a second account, but when I tried to create a group for the second account it won't give me a list of all the people i follow with checkboxes next to them. :(
- Paul Steinbrueck

twitter = eventbox or tweetie but have seesmic desktop as well. played with tweetdeck but it is still to huge/clunky for me to like enough to use
