Maybe I just haven’t spent enough time really playing with it to figure out how it could really change the way I handle social media. I love using twhirl to update my twitter accounts, and I’ve got my FriendFeed account setup in twhirl, but I just don’t use it.

I like the grouping functionality that’s available and the ability to tag certain users as my favorites. I could see using this feature with that handful of friends that I really don’t want to miss any updates from during the day.

How do each of you use FriendFeed? Is it a replacement for other micro-blogging services for you? The one thing I know I don’t want to do and I don’t like is to send out an update that’s just duplicated as the same thing across multiple destinations. To me that’s just noise. Where do I find the balance between using multiple services like this?

I do like some of the tools that FriendFeed has for integrating in with your website and blog. That may be the angle I need to really approach this from to move forward. We’ll see what happens next.

Adding more tabs to FriendFeed

And the idea behind seem twofold:

First, to create a financial lifestream. This is done by selecting certain financial events. The lifestream will enable its creator and user to monitor incomes and expenses.

Second, to share this lifestream with friends so that the creator can be given advise about on his financial matters. Friends as financial advisers.

I am not quite sure if this is for everyone. It could be helpful among family members or individuals with common financial interests ie they are investing money jointly. Or even among family members who are geographically far apart.

It is a no fuss way of sharing financial information. One just has to be careful on what financial information one wants to share. This is sensitive stuff.
