There are many, many different social services on the web, and we can’t have accounts at all of them, it’d get too confusing and frustrating having to monitor them all.
Enter FriendFeed. FriendFeed is a service that takes all other social networks you are a member of and aggregates them into a single feed, which is much easier to read through by your friends.
FriendFeed was acquired by Facebook in 2009, and is able to link to your many online accounts, intelligently taking posts, comments and ratings and displaying them in an automated feed.
Once you link your various accounts to your FriendFeed account, you don’t need to do anything else, your comments and submissions on all the various accounts will be aggregated together for your friends to see without any effort on your part.
As well as be accessed on it’s own custom url, FriendFeed can also be added as a tab on your Facebook profile:
This really is an invaluable service. No longer do you need to spam every url of an article you like, or a youtube video you find finny, but instead can rate those things from their own services and let FriendFeed pick it up. This leaves your Facebook and Twitter accounts cleaner and more appealing to follow by your peers.
So by creating a FriendFeed account, you’re helping your friends link to all the communities you are apart of, but also helping them by reducing the Facebook and Twitter spam posts and keeping links in a nicer more manageable interface.
So give it a try and make an account!
