I instantly realized several of the benefits of friendfeed within a few minutes of seeing it. SEO’s should definitely see the benefit, but its usefulness is far more intricate.

Like twitter, following industry experts can help you learn alot and make valuable connections. For me, following people like dazzlin donna, doshdosh, danny sullivan, cornwallseo and others has been priceless, thanks u guys :)… …i seriously think they are being highly gracious be letting us even follow their online movements.

Yes to Maria! @websuccessdiva …FriendFeed is good, especially if you Twhirl it!… Has lots of good features and plug-ins twoo (or would that be ‘ffroo’ in the ‘FF’ world-LOL) ack… Cheers!

Noted–the disadvantage to traditional Bloggers in splitting up their threads, but the ‘nexus’ advantages to the non-blogging types and other benefits outweigh this I would say.

@Maria and Julie - thanks for your comments. FriendFeed certainly does have that all-inclusive feel, doesn’t it?

Great post - thanks for sharing(and to @websuccessdiva Maria for linking here)!

Friend Feed is like having an all-inclusive travel pass which lets you on the bus, the tram, the train and into the museum and the gallery - all with the one permit.

Great post… I just signed up for friendfeed last week and so far I like i, but it can be a lot to follow. It’s east to follow 200 people twees, but folowing ALL the web activity for 200 people is tough! The commentary feature is awesome though! Too bad blog writers can not import those comments to their blogs.

@Rob - I’ve been thinking about using Disqus here; not quite sure if I will, but it does have some advantages. And, yes, YackTrack is certainly a step in the right direction.

@Nathan - how do you see FriendFeed helping with the data siloing challenge?

@Radioactive Jam - you’re welcome, although the posts that I linked to are even more valuable.

i am hoping for a wider adoption of FriendFeed as an alternative to the Major Players tendendy towards data siloing- partyicularly as they are all eveolving towards the model that allows data to come in from other sources but not to flow. currency is worthless unless it is in circulation.
