 Adding Friendfeed to Your Facebook Profile
Introduction
The Web, as we had known it before the social networking boom, had worked
for small Catholic site owners through the following systems: creating
new and fresh content; having these content indexed in the search engines;
applying ethical search engine optimization techniques to all web pages
to obtain more visitor traffic; and engaging in reciprocal linking with
other related web sites to obtain higher rankings in the search engine results
pages. Now, the Web environment had evolved into a more interactive and social
space, where there is a lot of sharing and giving of information about one's
self or one's activities. From among the many web sites that work in this
social networking environment is Friendfeed. Through Friendfeed, members
can generously share Catholic content, links, photos, videos and podcasts
members of their family, friends, and other contacts. This web 2.0
site can aggregate your web site feed, blog feeds, social networking accounts,
social bookmarking accounts, and other web 2.0 sites into one stream of
content.
Friendfeed.com
If you register for an account with Friendfeed.com, you can converge all
your web activities into one stream, and make it available for your family,
friends and other contacts. As an example, my
Friendfeed.com account aggregates my web activities and other content
from: our web site feed, two blog feeds,
Twitter updates, Librarything.com books,
Youtube videos, Diigo.com and Delicious.com bookmarks. This is only a
sample combination of web sites aggregated at Friendfeed. You can customize
your own stream of content through the web sites that you are a member of.
Friendfeed.com as a link available in Facebook.com
If you have a Facebook.com account, you can share your stream of web
activities and content from Friendfeed, just by clicking the tab of
your Facebook profile. As you click on your Facebook profile tab,
you will see a set of tabs with one tab at the end having the "+"
sign. Click on this tab and select Friendfeed from among the many
choices in the list. Other choices in the list refer you to the
third-party applications you have already applied in your social
networking activities at Facebook.
Marketing your Catholic web site and blog
A new trend in our present Web environment seems to be moving towards
a convergence of many web services into one. Pageonce.com does this also
for many web sites, with a difference of style and form from Friendfeed.com.
Because of this trend towards convergence, one marketing strategy that we
can study and then employ, is discovering how to converge the web services
of our site and blog, and its network of third-party applications, so that
our social network can have easy access to all of them. One such strategy
is described above: incorporating Friendfeed.com into your Facebook
profile. But there is still more that we can do. We only need to take
note of how our web site and blog are networked within this new web environment
- especially the
super-fresh Web environment led by Twitter. We have to discover
continuously a new point of convergence at every opportune moment,
so that members of our social network, can benefit from the stream of
content and web development activities they can use and apply in
their work on the Web.
The key is in continuously working at web development
We can find points of convergence if we keep working at web development.
The Web is contantly evolving. New technologies are being introduced in
beta, and some are already tried and tested for optimum performance. What is
important is that we persist, and not give up in finding opportunities for
better social networking, live searching, and link-sharing. When we
dovetail the new Web services with the traditional web 1.0 technology, we
can be able to create points of convergence, that will help market
the web services of our site and blog, to anyone in our social network.
