As someone who has just recently dipped a toe into Twitter — you can follow me there by clicking here — the prospect of diving into yet another social networking community holds little appeal. However, others continue to boldly go wherever the cool kids take them and lately that has meant FriendFeed.
Robert Scoble explains why in a video posted to his blog that will require a full 26 minutes of your attention to fully digest. “I’m aiming this at people who are just starting out on FriendFeed and trying to figure out how to make use of it,” he says.
That he does in this nifty primer.
What he fails to do, however, is convince me to take the plunge … at least not yet.
Here’s what he covers:
1. Why FriendFeed?
2. Get inbound content with the aggregator.
3. Get inbound content via friends.
4. How friend-of-a-friend feature brings more inbound content.
5. Using the everyone tab to get more inbound content.
6. Using rooms to find inbound content.
7. Using “best of” feature to find more inbound content.
8. Using the “me” and “home” pages.
9. Using lists to do friend management.
10. Creating media in friendfeed.
11. Sharing media found on the web.
12. Creating media with email.
13. Deciding between Twitter and FriendFeed.
14. Your outbound content, likes.
15. Your outbound content, comments.
16. Your outbound content, send to Twitter.
17. Your outbound content, your stuff.
18. Your outbound content, using rooms.
19. Using search.
20 Using real-time features.
