[WHAT IS]: FriendFeed (and what is it for)? An Introduction
Patricia F. Anderson, Julia Ault, Edward Zwart and 13 other people liked this
I remember when I first logged in to FriendFeed (I joined at the launch of the beta version, so my comments will relate to that). My first thought was "What the heck is this and what can I do with it?" I was already an active Facebook and Twitter user (as well as a blogger). Why did I need yet another social web service? In this post I and other FF for Beginners Guides will try to answer those questions.
- Mark Traphagen
DEFINITION: There are as many definitions of FF as there are users. In part that's because FF is so flexible and powerful, people use it for many different things. The "official" self-description of FF is "FriendFeed helps you discover and discuss interesting stuff that your friends and family find on the web." I would add another verb: "share." So in a nutshell, FF helps you SHARE-DISCOVER-DISCUSS. The unique power of FF is the way it allows you to blend and cross all three of those actions.
- Mark Traphagen
1. SHARE: FriendFeed allows you to post things from the Internet (or your own thoughts & ideas) that you want to share with others. You can do this manually by simply typing a post into the blank at the top of your Home page. OR automate what you share here by giving FriendFeed access to any of the other social web or bookmarking services you use (HOW TO: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...)
- Mark Traphagen
2. DISCOVER: Browse your Home page feed and any Subscriptions or Filters you have for a never-ending cascade of stuff others on FriendFeed have found fun/interesting/helpful. The more subscriptions you have, the faster that waterfall flows (feed pages in beta FF now update in real time). You can make anything you see show up in your own public feed by either adding a comment to it (see below) or clicking "like" under the topic.
- Mark Traphagen
3. DISCUSS: Here's where FF "one ups" other social web services: Virtually anything you see on FF can have a discussion attached to it. This begins when any user adds a comment to the post. You can join any discussion by clicking "comment" under the post description. TIP: To keep track of discussions in which you've participated, click the new "My Discussions" link in your Filters box. Discussed topics automatically rise to the top as new comments are added.
- Mark Traphagen
That's the basics, but there is SO much more power to FriendFeed! Browse or search the topics in this group for more ideas. Perhaps my fellow guides will add their own "What is FriendFeed?" definitions below.
- Mark Traphagen
I like this post, but would like it even better were it more concise, less chatty, more descriptive as to the differences between FF and some other, more widely talked-about social sites. Especially for those among us who thus far have abstained from joining by-and-large sophomoric "communities". [Typo? what typo].
- ianf ⌘
Thanks for the feedback, lanf. Typo corrected. This definition was "chatty" by design. My intention was to draw in those who, like myself at one time, feel overwhelmed by FriendFeed's seeming complexity. I wanted to create interest without being exhaustive, so I limited myself to the three things that are standout (to me) about FriendFeed. Sure, other social web locations allow you to "share, discover, & discuss," but the power of FF is the unique way it brings the three together.
- Mark Traphagen
Might be a good idea, though, to create a post here that describes specific differences between FF and other services. In the meantime, if you're interested in that subject, FF fanatic Robert Scoble has hosted many active discussions here on how FF differs from Twitter and Facebook in particular. If you browse this filter: http://beta.friendfeed.com/search... you'll find some of them.
- Mark Traphagen
I'll study it later, but for now made it into my own filter (as apparently there is no other way to share ready-mades among ourselves).

Nice intro
- Luqman Saeed
Thanks for the tutorial. I appreciated it.
- timethief
Nice definition. I will add my voice for >4. BLOG, aggregate< .Please boost the blogging capabilities. That means, allow posting more text, allow some text formatting. Otherwise, this mixture you lay out here, is the success recipe for any social site out there - BOOKMARK, aggregate - IMPORT, aggregate - DISCUSS. I might add support for email sending via "em@emailaddress" in the post, and aggregation of discuss, where comments would also go to FB, Intense Debate, Disqus, or any other platform.

I just added to the spreadsheet re: the help I got with CSV munging shell scripts earlier. Would discovery of papers through social bookmarking be considered collaborative science?
- Mr. Gunn
@Mr. Gunn - no, i don't think so. Collaboration suppose to be productive - if discussion about papers within the group brought all participants to consensus that could be collaboration via social bookmarking with discussions. But bookmarking sites don't provide discussions. Even they would, it will take for a long while for scientists to start discuss about papers online - simple online collaboration. My thoughts also here - http://hematopoiesis.info/2009...

Concretely, the References Wanted room (http://friendfeed.com/rooms...) has really been useful in writing up articles so I can rapidly get my hands on hard-to-come by references in journals to which my institution does not subscribe. But I'm not sure this is a great thing to bring up in your article, except in a vague way; we're not quite clear which side of the law participating re-distributors are on (fair use, or not?) It's not quite the same as discovering papers as per Mr. Gunn.

I hadn't realized that Linden Lab's moving the Knowledge Base to the Wiki eliminated the ability to search just the Knowledge Base. This seems like a step backward. Having to see the KB Badge and the text about it being an official Knowledge Base page at the top of each page is also annoying.

Mission Heliographique – The Patrimony of Paris in Photos - Bearings - http://www.terrastories.com/bearing...
Patricia F. Anderson liked this
"In 1851, the Commission de Monuments Historiques embarked on an unprecedented survey of the French landscape. Five photographers traveled to the far reaches of France. Their targets would be the buildings that made up the heritage of France – the “architectural patrimony” of the country. It was to be known as a Mission Heliographique, and the photographers returned with plates and prints portraying buildings – many of which no longer exist. Sadly, upon return, their negatives remained largely unpublished for over a century."

"My 30,000th Photograph on Flickr" way to go @thomasHawk. I remember reading yr 10^6 & thinking thats ambitious. Now the Q. In the back of my mind I've been thinking about "how do you a) backup online against flickr takedowns? b) manage & curate the images as times goes on: cost, time etc?
- Peter Renshaw
Well mostly I back up my photos by using drobos as primary storage. I also keep another copy of my finished photos on hard drives off location. I upload pretty much the same photos to Flickr and Zooomr. So I've got two copies. Additionally, almost all of my flickr photos are fed into clustershot where they can be marketed for stock photography. I always upload original sized photographs...

As many journal articles published under creative commons licenses in hybrid journals use CC-NC licenses, this is an interesting read.
- Hilary
"Creators and users are in general agreement that use by an organization tends to be commercial, though to a lesser extent than users that involve money or are in connection with advertising. When not-for-profit organizations are specified, however, both groups tend to consider uses noncommercial...Creators and users also tend to agree that use for a charitable purpose or to promote a social or public good is noncommercial, unless the use is by a for-profit organization."
- Hilary
I liked the "people generally don't know diddly about copyright" bit. Surely is true from my experience.

Worked OK for me, but it's rather large -- try the old right-click-and-download routine and see if that helps.
- D0r0th34
i for one am still extremely confused about what constitutes noncommercial usage for CC licenses. if profit making is prohibited, then how are common actions such as an individual sharing a CC work via social networks considered, when that action might result in that person getting more readers and perhaps job offers? hopefully this study will help to understand these issues.
- Mike Chelen
Mike: Interesting--that usage wouldn't give me trouble at all. The person sharing isn't selling the CC work for direct remuneration, thus it's noncommercial. "Possible eventual gain" isn't commercial--it's life.
- Walt Crawford
Ditto -- but worries like that are why I, personally, never use CC-NC content. CC-BY all the way.

Well, got it at home on the Mac no problem but then it is downloading it first as D suggested. :) Perhaps if I remember I'll try again at work tomorrow.
