It&#8217;s an application that acts as a central aggregation and discussion point for many of your other Internet points of presence. You can add your YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, Jaiku, Brightkite, Upcoming.org, Last.fm, and a gazillion other services into it, and then when you create activity on any of those services, other people following your activity stream can form commentary around what you&#8217;ve posted. </p>
<p>First, it&#8217;s something you might consider joining so that you can aggregate your content into one stream. Second, it will give you a new audience for some of your content, and some different interactions will happen there than on the primary sites it&#8217;s reporting on. For instance, if someone posts information to Twitter, and that person has Twitter added to their FriendFeed account, others using the service can comment on that person&#8217;s tweets: </p>
<p><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080726-e883igjc5ac7u1eibe4kaa2qyq.jpg" alt="friendfeed2">
</p>
</p>
<p>Second, I&#8217;m finding that FriendFeed finds me interesting information from the larger body of work of people I&#8217;m following. So, for example, if I look at <a href="http://friendfeed.com/louisgray">Louis Gray</a>&#8217;s FriendFeed stream, I see three Google Reader Shared Items, a blog post, some Disqus comment threads, pictures, and a Google Talk status that led to a conversation unto itself. It&#8217;s rich content.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also drinking from the firehose, so not exactly everyone&#8217;s cup of tea (to mix metaphors). </p>
<p>Should you try it out? Yes. Is it for everyone? No. If you&#8217;re reasonably new to social media and networks, skip it for now, I say. There&#8217;s a lot to figure out, so don&#8217;t get too wrapped up in this right now. </p>
<p>What&#8217;s your take? Are you there? Have you checked it out?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisbrogan/2296566943/" title="Celtics2 by Chris Brogan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3171/2296566943_1f92803591_o.jpg" width="336" height="248" alt="Celtics2" align="left" /></a><a href="http://www.louisgray.com/live/2008/02/starts-with-b-ends-with-n-six-letters.html">Louis Gray</a> tweeted that he was coming to Boston. I ask him why, because I&#8217;m nosy, and hey, this is my town. : ) From this, he learns what I do for a day job (VP of Strategy and Technology at <a href="http://crosstechmedia.com">CrossTech Media</a>, and then he and I get together to talk geeky things for a bit. He also introduces me to a few really great guys who I might have some future business with now. </p>
<p>Oh, but did I mention he takes me and some other guys to a Celtics / Cavs game? In a box. With like&#8230;steak and salad and buffalo wings and um&#8230; cheesecake and cookies and beers and whatever. </p>
<p>Oh, and by the way, Louis is really cool, downplays his rockstarness (he&#8217;s Mark &#8220;Rizzn&#8221; Hopkins&#8217; favorite blogger), and he made me join <a href="http://friendfeed.com">FriendFeed</a> last night, swearing that it&#8217;s the coolest thing in the world. </p>
<p>Twitter = score!</p>
