How to Use the New FriendFeed Search for Social Media Intelligence
FriendFeed, a cross-network activity aggregator built by ex-Googlers and more fun to use than the phrase "cross-network activity aggregator" might imply, launched a powerful new search tool today. Want to discover particularly interesting conversations or people in your networks? Want to pick out just the noisiest conversations online about your brand? Want to find some really crazy stuff that's only discoverable through FriendFeed? The investigative possibilities that FriendFeed now offers are quite impressive, if you can bring just a little creativity to your search query construction.
Here are our favorite examples of some of the searches we've already found quite valuable.
FriendDeck: Now an Adobe AIR App for Tracking FriendFeed
Last week we introduced you to FriendDeck, a new online application that lets you monitor FriendFeed in a way that's very similar to how the Adobe AIR app, TweetDeck, monitors Twitter. Within FriendDeck's columns, you can track FriendFeed searches, users, friends, lists, rooms, and more.
Recently, FriendDeck developer Paul Kinlan released an Adobe AIR application of his FriendFeed tracking tool. Although still rough around the edges, this app has potential to become a viable alternative interface to FriendFeed for the service's heaviest users.
FriendDeck: A FriendFeed Search Tool
FriendDeck is a new web-based interface designed for performing searches across the social web aggregation service, FriendFeed. Having obviously taken inspiration from the popular Twitter desktop application, TweetDeck, FriendDeck displays information in columns that spread across your screen, allowing you to track multiple search terms within the same window. As the individual items appear, you have the option of clicking "like" or commenting inline on the postings.
Google, Facebook, MySpace and More Meet to Talk Activity Streams
Last night at the offices of blogging software company Six Apart, engineers and social media specialists from a number of companies large and small met to discuss proposed standards for the future of "activity streams" - the system of displaying recent activities of your friends online. Think Facebook Newsfeed, the basic format of FriendFeed, or the kinds of update chronicles we're seeing now on almost every social network around the web.
Kakuteru: A Blogging and Lifestreaming Mashup (+Invites)
What do you get when you combine blogging and lifestreaming? You get Kakuteru, a semantic blogging mashup with funny name. The service imports your activity streams from FriendFeed and combines them with longer articles you write yourself. After you set up your Kakuteru site, its URL can then be hidden behind a domain name of your choosing so it appears as if it's your own blog.
The Perfect Social Tool
(Hint: It's Not FriendFeed)
Robert Scoble just admitted to spending 7 hours per day in FriendFeed. It's easy to see why. The more you explore that service, the more you find, and the deeper you fall down into the rabbit hole that is the social web. It's probably one of the most interesting and powerful social sties that we've seen develop over the past year. Yet it, like many other of today's social web services, seems to be a somewhat incomplete vision of what a real social web could be.
Cartoon: The Last to Know
It's amazing the stuff you find out about people just from reading their activity feeds on Facebook or FriendFeed. Deaths in the family, divorces, struggles with substance abuse, criminal convictions and sexual liaisons all seem to find their way into the same stream that reports pokes, zombie attacks and "Which Gossip Girl character are you?" quiz results.
Maybe I just need to get used to the incongruity of seeing tectonic life events reported with exactly the same prominence and gravity as an online Scrabble victory. Or maybe I just need to take online Scrabble a lot more seriously.
Top 10 RSS and Syndication Products of 2008
RSS and syndication are the veins that the new social web flows through. Countless products and services have been built on top of RSS in the past few years but there are always a few that stand above the rest.
As part of this year's Top 10 Products series, we offer below the Top 10 RSS and Syndication Products of 2008. These are the feed tools we and the people we know use day in and day out - we love them, we hate them, we wouldn't want to work without them.
PeopleBrowsr: A Visual Dashboard for Your Online Identities
Imagine TweetDeck as an online application. Now imagine that you could use its paneled dashboard interface to keep tabs on your other online identities, too. With PeopleBrowsr, you can. This new application, currently in alpha, lets you update your networks, follow your friends, organize your favorites, and search for content across networks that include Twitter, flickr, YouTube, LinkedIn, Digg, Seesmic, identi.ca, Photobucket, upcoming, and FriendFeed.
Social Media's Greatest Hits as an OPML File
Turns out Chris Miller over at The Social Networker noticed a list of top 150 social media blogs on eCairn's blog last week, but was disappointed to see that it was not available as an OPML file. So, he created one.
Today, we realized that the most popular posts from those blogs may be useful resources for many folk, so we created our own OPML file. Ah, the beauty of the Web.
