The Internet

FriendFeed is accessible from more locations than just your browser.  The service gives you multiple options for reading from wherever you are.

• Sign in to your FriendFeed account and click the Tools link in the upper-right corner.
• Scroll down to the Access Your FriendFeed heading.
• Click the source you want to use and follow the directions from there.  You can choose from IM notification, a feed reader, a Facebook app, an iGoogle gadget, an email digest, or an iPhone interface.

Not everybody uses FriendFeed, but you can still keep track of their information as part of your FriendFeed account. To do so, you need to create an “imaginary friend.” Don’t worry - it’s not as sad or lonely as it sounds.

• Log into your FriendFeed account.
• Click the Friends link in the upper-right corner and select the Imaginary tab.
• Click the Create Imaginary Friend button, give your friend a name, and click Create.
• Click the service you want to add and enter the feed for that service.

With all of the social networks and information feeds available today, it can be hard to keep track of everything.  You can follow RSS feeds in news readers or web browsers, but there’s also the matter of keeping up-to-date with status updates, Twitter feeds, and the like.  FriendFeed gives you the ability to consolidate all of your information sources in one place so that others may follow your accounts easily.  You can also follow the accounts of others in one feed as well.  Think of it as a big funnel for your information.
