Adding Friendfeed to Your Facebook Profile

Introduction

This article informs the reader with some history on the integration of the FriendFeed network into Facebook. Recently, when Facebook revised the profile page of its subscribers, the FriendFeed application was also reintegrated in a new way.

Friendfeed.com

If you register for an account with Friendfeed.com, you can aggregate all your web activities into one stream of files - updating all your subscribers in FriendFeed. FriendFeed can aggregate updates from: a customized web site feed, blog atom feeds, Twitter updates, Librarything.com books, Youtube videos, Diigo.com bookmarks, Delicious.com bookmarks and other photo or video sites. If you do this with your FriendFeed account, your subscribers can be updated of all the inputs and multimedia items you have shared from many different blogs and networking sites.

Friendfeed.com as a link available in Facebook.com

Previously, with a Facebook.com account, you can share your stream of multimedia files from Friendfeed just by clicking the tab of your Facebook profile. As you click on this profile tab, you will be presented with set of tabs - one tab at the end having the "+" sign. A click on this tab and you can select Friendfeed from among the many choices in the list. Other choices in the list refer you other third-party applications used in your Facebook account.

How the new FriendFeed application works

With a new presentation of profiles set by Facebook for all its subscribers, the FriendFeed application is now integrated in a new way. The first thing to do is to search for your FriendFeed application using the Facebook search function. Once you have found it, just click on the application and then it will be integrated into your Facebook home page. Once this is done, when you update FriendFeed with any updates from the many sites you work with, the updates will be presented in the Status stream of your Facebook contacts. It is also updated in the Status stream of your profile page.

A good point of convergence

FriendFeed is a good site for converging all your updates to your Facebook network. As the Web continues to evolve, there will be even better ways to converge your web work and activities in a systematic way. Many new technologies are being introduced in beta, and some are already tried and tested for optimum performance. For obtaining stability in all your work on the Web, one wise strategy is to keep all your old sites for social networking, live searching, and link-sharing. Then when you discover newer technologies, all you can do is to dovetail the new Web services with your old network on the Web. There are always ways and means to systematize your work so that they can easily converge and make your work on the Web more systematic. FriendFeed is one of those ways.
