FriendFeed

Moved from Twitter to FriendFeed

Some social networks I get, others I don’t. I never could understand MySpace or Facebook. Twitter on the other hand, I fell in love with it right away, and it sucks when it, or some of it’s features goes down. FriendFeed was a service that I understood, but it always seemed to cluttery and noisy for me. This past weekend I just got fed up with all of Twitters problems and I decided to take the plunge to FriendFeed full time. I am really starting to like FriendFeed, and the cool thing is that it actually works.

A few weeks ago Dave Slusher blogged about his process of moving from Twitter to FriendFeed. I pretty much followed his plan. I used Kreg Steppe’s PHP script to help find my Twitter friends on FriendFeed, and then I just made imaginary friends for my Twitter friends that weren’t on FriendFeed. Then I signed up for a TwitterFeed account, and am using it to send my FriendFeed updates back to twitter. It took a while to get all my friends over, but I am really loving FriendFeed now.

New Theme

So you can see I have a new blog theme. I haven’t used FriendFeed much yet, but I thought I would add the FriendFeed widget to show all the stuff I am up to. In creating my links I thought it was crazy all the online networks that I have signed up for. Most of them I try out and then never go back, but some I use all the time. One reason I sign up for things it is reserve my name. Mace always seems to get taken if I don’t hope on it. I also love playing with new stuff. I play with way more stuff than I could possible use, but I have fun with it. Now I gotta go play with BrightKite to see if I am going to ever use it.
