Despite it being a Monday, I was happy to discover not one, but two great posts about FriendFeed today.
One comes from Internet Duct Tape - "How to Import Your Twitter Contacts to FriendFeed." This post features a program that uses Google’s social graph to find links between your Twitter friends and FriendFeed users. […]

OK. I just added a bunch of new feeds to my RSS reader tagged in the category of "unknowns." And I don’t mean "unknowns" in the "not-internet-famous" way, oh no; I mean unknown to me. I literally just found you. You have a blog? Oh! Well, let me check it out.

Despite Louis’s attempt to start this weekend’s bitchmeme on the topic of blogs and advertising - damn, Louis, you’re getting good at this! - I’m going to refrain from that discussion (as long as I can resist, that is) and write about something else instead.
…And we thought Techmeme was the echo-chamber!….OK, just kidding, […]

Something I never really paid much attention to in my emails from FriendFeed was the link to the FriendFeed discussion group, but today I clicked on it by accident. There are 886 messages in there! I saw topics like “add Twine to list of bookmarking services,” “Desktop application for FriendFeed,” and “Way to turn […]

Scot Hacker didn’t know he had lost his phone until he saw a note on Twitter from his phone: "Hi.i found this phone.could you tell me how to find the owner.."

Just posted this on Read Write Web: Today, the battle between the two most popular AIR apps as of late has begun. Yesterday, the FriendFeed AIR app, Alert Thingy, having only just launched on April 13th, was already getting an update - this one to include Twitter support via a built-in "Tweet" button. Not […]

I’ve just now had time to upgrade Alert Thingy to the new version that was just released today - Alert Thingy 1.2, which I discovered thanks to Steven’s FriendFeed Watch blog. I’m really impressed with how fast they put out the new version - it seems the app was only released yesterday. I’m also […]

This looks interesting - JuiceCaster, a mobile broadcasting app, is about to arrive in Java app form on T-Mobile phones. The service, which is also available as a WAP site at m.juicecaster.com, lets you post media - like camera phone pictures and videos - and send them to your friends’ phones. You can also […]
