Is FriendFeed for You...or Your Audience?
FriendFeed has fast become the talk of the conversphere this year, much like Twitter was last year's thing.
One of the beauties of FriendFeed is that it's a lifestream of your presence on the Internet. I can follow your blog posts, your Twitter messages (Tweets), your social bookmarks, and even videos or pictures (those you publish AND those you favorite).
As a fan of your "stuff" - your readers can tap into your knowledge and resources by following your FriendFeed. Plus, FriendFeed can also be its own conversation space (and has become quite a bit just that in some areas).
Two quick cases-in-point:
- Drew McLellan and I set up his FriendFeed in a matter of minutes. We were able to include his blog, his Twitter, and two of the blogs he guest posts on (just his posts). Maybe Drew hasn't been back to the site. Doesn't really matter -- he's a pretty busy guy. But, his readership can now follow all he produces in one easy place.
- Angela Maiers has her FriendFeed stream on her blog's sidebar. A good portion of her readership is not yet using social bookmarks, yet they can still follow her amazing resource stream via the widget.
There are more reasons than this for using FriendFeed. For now, I'd like to encourage you to open a FriendFeed account (it's free) - not for you, but for your readers.
Once you open an account, give me a follow and I'll be happy to follow back (isn't that a Gwen Stefani song?)
