Search and filter tweets using Friendfeed advanced search

October 1st, 2009

Friendfeed aggregates and stores all the activity that is fed into the system. Most FF users bring in their Twitter feed, in effect storing all their tweets. It works a little bit like Google Reader, once it’s there, it will always be there, even if the original is deleted.

The advanced search features of Friendfeed makes it a pretty good twitter search alternative. It even supports real-time, so you can make your own twitter news monitors.

Quickly share stuff from Google Reader on Twitter without using Twitterfeed

July 27th, 2009

Twitterfeed is great but it’s not perfect, it’s not real-time. You can use Friendfeed to bring in your Google Readers’ shared item and republish them to Twitter.

Friendfeed let’s you publish everything, or a few selected services to Twitter. If you have a lot of stuff going into your Friendfeed stream, you might not want to share everything on Twitter.

Friendfeed and Twitter are different, but how exactly?

May 4th, 2009

ff-twitterI have been posting some ideas and thoughts about Twitter and friendfeed on both of their services. Mostly questioning how they compare or differentiate. I believe they contemplate each other in one way or the other, but haven’t really figured out how they fit together just yet.

It seems like hardcore twitter users are mostly trying to compare the two services, and friendfeed users take pride in separating the two.

How I’m going to get more followers/subscribers on Friendfeed

April 29th, 2009

I have never really used Friendfeed in any really engaging way. The conversational aspects of the service is fantastic, but I haven’t really been able to unlock the full potential of it. Until now I have been using Friendfeed mostly as an aggregator for my own content, only to redistribute it using the Facebook widget and the ‘post to twitter’ option. I also used it to remind myself which social networks I’m signed up to, Friendfeed gives me a nice list.

New powerful filters in the new beta Friendfeed

April 6th, 2009

The new beta design of Friendfeed adds some really nice advanced filters. I’m really excited about the addition of ‘popularity filters’ as I call them. They allow you to search for conversations or posts, that have received x number of likes or comments.

Just imagine how you can put this to use in your own field. You can search everybody’s posts (or just your friends’) for keywords, and filter them in terms of popularity. You have a unique ability to catch content way before it makes it to the mainstream online media.
