Friendfeed for microblogging – a screencast video
Friendfeed is more than just a clever lifestream aggregator for all your other applications, it’s also a micro blogging platform in its own right. Here’s a screencast video I made to show how.
In the next screencast video of this series, I’ll show how Friendfeed microblog entries can be social objects, and the use of “rooms”.
Meanwhile, I’d be interested to hear how you think the future will unfold in this area. Twitter has the best community at present but can it hold on to it? Friendfeed has some of the elements of Facebook but without the apps. Have you tried migrating to Jaiku or Pownce? Can’t understand what’s the point of microblogging is anyway?

Friendfeed for microblogging – a screencast video
Andy Roberts is a writer who initiated DARnet. Catch me on

thanks andy! very useful screencast. i followed you Twit, learned a lot from your screencast and subscribed to your Friendfeed. Looking forward to your next screencast. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for this Andy. I still don’t quite get why I’d use friendfeed rather than my rss reader but I’m a bit closer after watching the screencast. It’s all about social objects, right? So people can add comments on your stuff there on FF’s domain rather than on the various sites you use?
Thank you for the helpful tips.
I am trying to learn all of this as fast as I can. Friend Feed is just a bit more confusing to me than other places (Forums, Twitter, SN’s…)
I look forward to following you!
I’ve now uploaded and blogged my second video about Friendfeed and social objects, in which I also explain Friendfeed rooms a bit, and try to answer Linda’s question from above.
Helpful tips, Andy. Thank you. It will be great to know about this new tool for 30DC.
