Friendfeed Is Twitter’s Somewhat Intellectual Cousin

Posted on May 20, 2009 by LoveTheCool

Ever since the celebrity craziness on Twitter I’ve been spending way more time in my Friendfeed stream. It’s like Twitter, just more complex and with pictures.

On Friendfeed you can comment, comment on comments, add photos and video, and interact much more with users.

And another really cool use is the ability it gives you to check out a user’s entire social geography, from one place, and connect with them in those places, if you choose.

Facebook + Selected Tweets = Love

Posted on April 18, 2009 by LoveTheCool

Back before I really paid attention to either my Facebook or Twitter stream, I had all my Tweets fed into my FB status.

But then I began taking social media more seriously and noticed how noisy and confusing it can be to see bits and pieces of a Twitter conversation on your FB wall. It’s confusing enough on Twitter.

So I disabled Twitter updates. There was no real value in it anyway, except that aggregating gives me a sense of covering all my basis, but in the Twitter / FB situation it was false.

Selective Twitter, on the other hand, does add value. It allows you to update your status with the Tweets you choose, by adding #fb to the end of the Tweet.

And adding the app is dead simple.

Just activate in Facebook and add your Twitter user name:

Your Twitter update ends up on your Facebook status, wall and public stream.

I Love MySpace

Posted on March 13, 2009 by LoveTheCool

I was a Facebook snob until I realized 95% of the new musicians I find online have a MySpace page.

It really sucks tripping on excellent music without having time to listen. So I got a MySpace profile and now when I find someone cool, I just go to their page and add them – listen later.

I’ve yet to be rejected. In fact, hip-hop and electronic artists are starting to add me!

And I only have musicians as friends, no ‘real’ ones.

Keeps it real.
