FriendFeed Rooms Just Got More Useful

Since the launch of FriendFeed rooms only weeks ago, the feature was widely adopted by the community. People have since created rooms around a topic, a blog, or even a live event, as with the WWDC keynote. However, one feature that a lot of people have been asking for is the ability to import feeds into a room automatically. Well, now you can – and not just RSS blog feeds, but also Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Digg, or any other service FriendFeed offers. You can check it out in action here in the Obamamania room. Obviously, this new feature makes rooms that much more useful since the content shared in them can be automatically imported.

As soon as I read the news, I had an idea as to how I wanted to use this feature. One of my side projects that had to get dropped due to lack of time was a green technology blog. I’m still subscribed to several green tech feeds and I’m interested in following the green tech news, but I don’t have any time to write about it. Since I use Google Reader and I already have a tag for my top green tech items, I’m just going to import that feed into my new, Green Tech FriendFeed room. If you’re also interested in this subject, I encourage you to join and share your news too.

How will you be using FriendFeed’s rooms?
