Unsure what to do with Friendfeed

Apr 25 2008 |

I had a couple realizations this morning while adding my social network feeds into Friendfeed.com. The first was that I have the good fortune of getting “robleto” as my handle a lot. I suppose that comes with being on the cutting edge.

The second was that I ‘m not sure what to do with Friendfeed. If it is the information overload I expect it is, I don’t want it in my RSS Reader. I’m one of those people who get satisfaction that I have scanned through all the feeds in my reader. For that reason I had to drop BoingBoing, they just never stopped, I couldn’t get that feeling of completion. I think adding the FriendFeed feed will be very similar.

That leaves forcing the new habit of going to the Friendfeed site routinely, which is doable, except that the short-changed interface and visual design make reading on FriendFeed a bit more complicated that reading in my RSS reader.

So, I don’t know how I’m going to use FriendFeed yet, but I am in the system. If you want to find and friend me: http://friendfeed.com/robleto

    I love Boing Boing! Engadget and Gawker exhaust me though.

    I can barely keep up with heavyweights Lifehacker and TechCrunch. BoingBoing became too much at that point, I was drowning in an unending flood of blog posts.
