Ryan turned me on to FriendFeed. It’s a site where you can obsessively keep track of all the various internet services, blogs, web 2.0 sites and social networking sites you and your friends use. It is basically fire and forget: you just sign up, register each service you use and it generates an amalgam feed of what you’ve been doing. Then you can add your friends and see what they have been up to.
It totally feeds into my love of lists and casual voyeurism. If you sign up, don’t forget to invite me!
I’m unclear. I have a LiveJournal blog. (You knew that, didn’t you? If not, mea culpa. http://echoweaver.livejournal.com) If you wanted to include that in the amalgam feed, would *I* need to sign up?
No, I can add any RSS feed, so you wouldn’t have to do anything. I knew you had a LJ, but I didn’t know what it was called.
Woot. Got your comment.
Yeah, I went out to the page and read around, and I got a better idea of what it’s about. In LJ-speak, it’s like reading other people’s friend lists: the amalgam feed of all the LJs THEY read. That’s kind of cool. I do browse LJ profiles of friends and blog link lists for interesting-sounding communities sometimes. But I’m a highly social blogger, rather than a political blogger or a weirdness blogger or whatnot. The most interesting communities I actually read are about crochet, which I’m quite sure would put you to sleep.
