Just a test for now, let’s see if Twitter picks this up. Hopefully it does and then all I have to do is wait for IM to work. (via FriendFeed)

Pulling in Microposts (via FriendFeed)

 Okay so I went ahead and started pulling in my micro-posts. Don’t worry it’s only going to be my short posts that I make on Google Reader and FriendFeed. The posts wont be displayed on the homepage, they’re going to be hidden for a while, until I re-tool my theme. I might even turn off these “asides” off in my rss. What do you think? I don’t want to saturate my feed with stuff you’re probably already getting but I’m not posting a lot anyways here so it might not be so bad. For the other things that I share use my FriendFeed, it’s got all of the google Shared items, delicious tags and other small little pieces of my online presence that I don’t care to make a big deal out of. Of course if you want a comment on any of them go to FF and comment there. - via FriendFeed

WebMD (via FriendFeed)

 I’m so pissed right now. My throat has been feeling horrible for the last few days, my tonsils are swollen, the pain is unbearable and it’s actually hard to breath. So, I went into a medical center today to be declined because of my insurance. Then I went to a place that accepts our insurance and they said it would be 1.5 hours. But when they asked me to pay my copay an hour later and I asked “how much longer?”, they said 2 more hours. I was so upset. I had to leave and I’m still not “fixed”. Hopefully webmd will help and if it doesn’t get better I’ll have to go back and wait the 2-4-6 hours I must to get healthcare. Our system sucks and we have insurance. - via FriendFeed

Installing Fink so I can install Linux apps on my MacBook. Very simple, it’s very un-Linux like but very Mac like. (via FriendFeed)

I think what I will do is integrate FF into my blog: pulling in FF posts and allowing comments on FF to flow back to my site. then I will use twitter for what it is, status updates that just display somewhere. (via FriendFeed)

FriendFeed +1: creating imaginary friends and commenting so there’s no strung out comment debates. FF +2: allowing me to post above the 140 limit twitter wants and identi.ca *requires*. (via FriendFeed)

Since everyone is jumping Twitter’s ship I’m thinking about using FriendFeed for micro-blogging, then twitter and identi.ca can just get fed. (via FriendFeed)

Replace Twitter with…identi.ca (laconica) and FreindFeed

I just wonder how nervous Twitter is right now. A few months ago a few said Twitter didn’t have a structural problem, they clearly do - people are leaving.
For what? First FreindFeed, now identi.ca. Both have their upsides: freindfeed has true conversation and identi.ca has the potential to replace twitter’s functionality.

FriendFeed is not a “communication service” but it is a great conversation service. Their issue is integration; Twitter replies was a great start but it shouldn’t stop.

Identi.ca, running the open source…

Disqus

I recently added Disqus commenting to my site. Having a service manage my comments has a lot of benefits:

Functionality - Seesmic integration is pretty cool, not like I’m expecting any video comments but it’s going be be cool when that first one is made.

Ownership - not only should I own the comments on this site but the commenter should too. I’ve always liked the idea of a service that collects your comments (I had the idea well before CoComment ) and…

FriendFeed Recommendation

I’ve been giving FriendFeed a second chance and I’m glad I did. At first I really didn’t know what to think, it seemed to be comprised of noise which led me to think of it as a social RSS aggrigator on par with Google Reader.

Now that I’ve been using it for the last week I’ve really enjoyed it. Even though I may not be participating as much as I want, it’s a wonderful way follow other’s social streams and more importantly…
