Lists of Friends and Lists of Feeds
Today I went on an undertaking bigger than Poverty, more important than World Hunger, and will achieve more than exploring outer space: Organizing my Friendfeed Account.
If any of you gave listened to Robert Scobles 20 ways to being a bigger friendfeed monster than Guy Kawasaki, you’ll realize that Friendfeed is a very power tool. You can easily share things with others, sort people into lists, join rooms….
Wait, what was that? Organize People into rooms? Man that feature is cool. I can basically make an entire new list of entries from the people I choose that is very customizable. I take any room or friend, and put them into my list. Then I can either choose just to have it limited to the people I choose, or make it more like a home feed where I see what those people liked. Very good stuff. (more…)
Robert, Michael, Loic, You're all WRONG
That is right, I said it. You’re all wrong!

In numerous Friendfeed disscussions, most of the top bloggers have been arguing with people on this subject. Robert Scoble has posted numerous times on the issue, and seems to be one of the main people backing up the idea that tweets should be ranked on Retweets and the number of links/replies the tweet gets. Most of the conversations can be followed by looking through his profile. (more…)
NewsCred: Credibility Ranking at its Best?
Newscr… nope.
Newscre…e… nope. One more time
Newscre…e….e….e…d! Finally got it out. Newscred [crunchbase] is a ‘News’ aggregator that was founded in July ‘07 and came out in private alpha testing May ‘08, then finally released a public beta in August ‘08. Its a very simple service. The idea of it is to rank newspapers and blogs based on credibility. You see an article, you read it, and you rate whether you think the article is credible or not. This vote later affects the credibility ranking of the author who wrote the article as well as the source. (more…)
What You got in that OtherInbox?
As Joshua Baer put in OtherInbox’s Techcrunch50 presentation, we all have that other inbox that we send certain things to so it doesn’t show up in our work email account. One of the most annoying things is to have a list of emails that you just don’t want. OtherInbox is a great way to control these emails. After using OtherInbox for a few months, I’ve decided its become such an important part of the way I work, that I want to do a complete review of it.
