I'll admit, FriendFeed has kind of baffled me. I've always thought it intriguing, and looked to be really useful, but I didn't know how to get the most out of it. This helps!

Thanks Wendy this is a great run down of Friendfeed, having everything in the one spot sure makes life easier especially if you are new to the whole social media thing :) Regards Anne

Thanks.
I started using friendfeed yesterday...where has it been for my year!! I should have started using that much sooner, seeing as I use twitter alot, so glad I started using it now.
Friendfeed has saved alot time for me already.
It was fairly easy to get to grips with the basics fast, but this post helps alot on how I can now make the most if it. How I can best fit in etc, what I can contribute, as it's a great way of sharing. Nice one. :)
I like the community feel of it too. One I will keep using, its good with some good people to connect with, for laughs, tips, alsorts.
I got here to this post from there. :D Though I have read this blog plenty of times.

Friendfeed is very useful when you have a lot of feeds and you dont feel like updating everything manaually. We are also using ping.fm and hellotxt.com. There are so many sites out there to help manage social feeds now. I personally like friendfeed the best although it takes a minute to really understand and get the most of it
This is a really great article. You know what, it makes me want to be more active on FriendFeed now; I've been slipping badly. BTW, thanks for mentioning my blog post in this article. Was a shocker but glad it could come in handy. :)

A friend of mine just asked me to explain FriendFeed to her today, so I gave her a quick little tour. It's too bad I hadn't seen your excellent article before talking to her, because I could have shared so much more.
I use FriendFeed, but not a single one of my friends is on it -- so I've always thought its uses were limited for me. But your suggestions on rooms really helps.
As for my favorite feature of FriendFeed, it's actually to search my own tweets. Yesterday I had to find two links that I had tweeted several months ago, and it took two seconds thanks to FriendFeed.

I've been using FriendFeed for two weeks now but I really don't know how to do an effective socialization there until I found this post. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the blog on making Friend Feed user friendly. Out of all the social networking sites I have been on, I have found this one to be the most confusing. You blog helps to explain some things to make it easier to navigate.

Thanks Wendy. A great easy-to-understand introduction to FriendFeed - which is a useful aggregator and broadcaster of information. Now you've shown me how to hide items or users and to filter out items and users. Now I can filter out all the tweets about coffee . . . or put them all into one filtered coffee stream. Thank you.

Excellent guide, I really like the step-by-step, and how you simplify Friend Feed, as it is quite overwhelming at first!

Great tips. I am going to try this. I use FriendFeed to aggregate my activity on the web and display it on my website.

(Nowhere in the description is there any hint that there is valuable resource-information about "FriendFeed" in this podcast).
In the podcast, I think that Ed Dale mentioned a way to use Friend Feed.
However, I am an elderly gentleman, with VERY poor hearing, who is also a "newbie" and just learning about Social Medial and the Internet.
I did not understand what Mr. Ed Dale said about "FriendFeed". (stupid, old man that I am)
In a comment post, Ed Dale encouraged me to stick it out.
I am trying to get better clarification of what his instructions were.
Nice article, I've been on FriendFeed for a while and learned some new things.

Awesome article. FF is taking off like a rocket, and this is a perfect article for getting a head start and using it. Also, thought I'd throw this down:
It's a "how-to" I wrote last week for being a little more proactive on reducing the FriendFeed to Twitter noise.
Though filtering what you see is a good way to remove the stuff you're not interested from your feed from your subscribers, sometimes the courtesy of cutting down your own noise is a better start.

i'm a noob, so tanks for the intro, unfortunately i now have to make decisions about sharing....being sometimes overwhelmed with the whole thing, the easiest thing to do is "like" something but then should i also use the bookmarklet to share it? i have been using stumble to share and it's quite good, but now i have to choose or do i do them all, which seems awfully redundant and consumptive.

Wendy,
I especially like the friend organzation and friend filtering parts of your article. As with Twitter, Digg, Propeller, and all the others there's only so much time in the day and a smaller portion of that available for social sites.
Which means you have to choose wisely who to follow and pay attention to because there's no way to actively follow 1,000 or even 100 people daily.
