Ok so I generally like to take Wednesday’s to introduce a new web site or piece of technology that I like, use, or want. So today’s submission is FriendFeed.com. If you’re like me, you use several different social networking sites (facebook, twitter, flickr, ect.). And keeping up with your friends in each one is kind of hard. You have to go to each one every day to see if your friends are doing anything new. This is where FriendFeed comes to the rescue.

FriendFeed allows you to set up a feed to share with all of your friends that includes your activity at all of your social networking sites. This way they can go to one place and see what you are doing at all of the sites. It’s kind of like a feed reader for your social networking sites. The one nice feature that I like about it also is that you can set up imaginary friends.

Yes you heard me right imaginary friends. This way if one of your friends (or most of your friends if you’re like me) don’t want to use FriendFeed you can set up and imaginary friend in their place and add their social networking activity to see what they are doing. You’re able to bypass having them sign up. Imaginary friends rock cause you get to make them just the way you want them (unless you’re like me and your imaginary friends no longer want to be your friend and decide to be a male model instead).

So check out FriendFeed.com if you do a lot of social networking or if you want to have an army of imaginary friends.

P.S. Don’t forget to add me as a friend!

So for one of the first times in my life I’m in the “In Crowd.” Yesterday Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle posted a video on his Facebook letting everyone know that he had capped out on the number of friends that he could have. Apparently Facebook only allows you to have 5,000 friends (I don’t think I would ever find this out), and he hit the limit. Now I’m normally not one to be prideful (yeah right), but I must say it feels kinda cool to know that I’m a friend with Mark Driscoll on Facebook and nobody else can do that now.

I know it’s lame…but you’re only saying that because you aren’t one of the 5,000.

I normally save technology posts for Wednesday’s, but I wanted to tell you about this while I was in Seattle.  I got set up on twitter.com yeterday.  Twitter is a mini-blogging system.  It’s like your status in Myspace and Facebook, but it is on its own.  It alows you to give friends short updates to what you are doing/thinking.  They can subscribe to your feed and recieve a text message or IM message every time you update it (here is a full tutorial on twitter).

It’s been pretty fun using it yesterday and today.  I like it because I’ve been able to send my wife Shannon the emails too.  So she is able to share in my experience while I’m here.  You can go to my profile at twitter.com/gregqualls and be able to keep up with me as I’m updating it frequently with what I’m doing and thinking.
