Chris, I have been grappling with how to make Friend Feed work for me. I use Twhirl and I’m now going to download Alert Thingy. Thanks for the tip.
@Whitney, there is nothing more thrilling than the library or bookstore. While I use Amazon to buy and browse books for convenience and Google and other search engines to browse for info, it’s just not the same. @Andrew you are right. I’m 44 and many baby boomers remain loyal to our old fashioned ways.

Chris, I’ve been meaning to call and say how much I have appreciated receiving your updates by RSS feed recently.

So, inspired to do it TODAY by the lovely Darren Rowse … thank you! Your posts are always interesting and often directly useful, and your generosity in sharing your experience is much appreciated.

As a hero of mine for a while (am even more impressed having checked out your linkedin profile!) it really made me smile to see you in my followers on Twitter, so thank you for that too!

Have a lovely week!

:o)

Trying it out this morning, and liking it so far. We’ll see by the end of the day. It needs a few tweaks, but I’m sure users who like it will give feedback on it.

Overall, I see this making FriendFeed more accessable to me. Instead of one of dozens of tabs in my browser, it sits side-by-side with Twhirl on a second monitor. Nifty. ;-)

Thanks for the tip Chris.

The review done by Corvida at shegeeks.com “convinced” me not to look more into this.

Is she right or wrong?
