My Favorite Social Networking Tools and Services - FriendFeed
I poated this on my BabyBoomer Librarian Blog this morning
While not one of my favorite tools, FriendFeed is a necessary tool for letting others see what I am doing all over the web. It brings together most of my social networking into one feed. My major problem with it is the fact that it also is another place for people to hold conversations. There are getting to be too many of them. I think it tries to do too much. Others may not find it that way. My FriendFeed is http://friendfeed.com/billdrew . I organize the feeds I want to read in Google Reader so I do not usually read or follow any in FriendFeed. If I am going to comment on a post, I prefer to do that in the original location of that post where everyone can see it, not in FriendFeed where only those following that feed can see it. FriendFeed goes too far in one way and yet not far enough. It is hard to put my finger on it. It just feels broken and uncomfortable to use to me.
