FriendFeed’ing in the Twitterverse

Posted by Sean on November 2, 2008

So I’m becoming quite the media chunk addict. My time spent on Twitter has increased 2-fold. I seem to spend quite a bit of time ‘micro-blogging’ and sharing links. It seems to go in waves. On days I have time, I spend the time tweeting.

If I’m not tweeting, I’m reading blogs, posting blogs, or making my way through the information highway Web 2.0. I am an avid Google Reader. I use my Google Reader to read my news as well as sift through the conglomerate of blogs I follow and blogs that interest me. I discovered by accident some time ago that the FireFox browser and Google Reader make great friends. There are numerous Grease Monkey Scripts that allow you to read your blogs, share the information and even email from your Google Reader without actually leaving the page! And this is a huge time save when you’re reading multiple blogs and other sources of information.

I’m quite the information aggregator sometimes, and my geeky-nerdiness shows. I’m always looking for new and efficient ways to share and transmit information as well as try to keep my finger on the pulse of Web 2.0.

I know of and have signed up for many social aggregator sites to try and centralize my activities on the Web, but I must say none have really ‘synced’ with my habits. Everything from Lifestream.fm to Profilactic and then FriendFeed.

I was always told FriendFeed was the top dog, and that ‘everyone’ was using it. Everyone except me.

Until recently it was just another one of those Web 2.0 services that I had, but never had a use for. The other day Ken, from Change Forge, posted a ‘question’ on Twitter. It had a link you clicked, and low and behold you were on his FriendFeed. The really cool thing about the whole scenario was how you could see everyone’s answer to the question as it was happening all on one page. And you could add more than one entry if you so desired.

This was the one thing that always bothered and still bothers me about the Twitter timeline. Someone will Tweet a question, and you’ll get other Tweeps Tweeting replies, but unfortunately you either have to know the original question, or you have to scroll through the timeline to figure out what the question is, and what the other answer may or may not be. And that’s determined by how many Tweets you and the person who originated the Tweet share/follow the same Tweeps.

(Tweep = Twitter + Peep)

(Tweet= Posting a message on Twitter)

I come to find out there is more to FriendFeed than meets the eye. A whole lot more options for meshing(mashing) your activities across the FriendFeed – Twitter border.

So now every time I do ‘something’ Web 2.0 style, it will become a Tweet on Twitter. In my opinion this is really cool, and a fabulous way to share your information.

It’s customizable, and may take a lil’ tweaking due to the possibility of overloading Twitter with repeat posts. So you may have to pay attention. I know I had to run a couple tests.

I think there is some great potential for my fellow medi-tweets out there. We could post a question and/or discussion. And then have it discussed in FriendFeed, where we could see what everyone is thinking and what everyone’s thoughts are all on one page! And get notified of the discussion on Twitter.

How cool would that be?

Come find me on FriendFeed, sign up if you haven’t already and subscribe to my feed here.

Twitpic vs. Posterous in the Twitterverse

Posted by Sean on October 19, 2008

So I decided to do a lil’ experiment yesterday with my twitter account. I’m starting to post more pictures while on twitter, and I wanted to see what’s the best way of doing it?

I’ve been using Posterous for all my pics until today, only because I simply forgot about the Twitpic service.

Each service offers the ability to upload a picture to a website, and then the website in turn sends an automatic tweet via your twitter account to Twitter as a tweet with a shortened URL link to the picture you uploaded. (wow.. that’s a mouthful)

This is accomplished by simply ‘emailing’ the picture you desire to a specific email address which is provided by each service.

I must say I was surprised and disappointed.

I have listened (sorry- watched) on Twitterland(or Twitterverse if you so desire) how some users have had a lag time between sending the post to Twitpic and actually having it show up as a tweet. I believe Beth (PixelRN) has tweeted her frustrations about this.

I posted the same picture to both services. Posterous tweeted my pic almost instantaneously. Twitpic took almost 20minutes.

I’m not sure what determines the efficiency of the post, or the upload of the pic, but Posterous won by a landslide.

Here’s the breakdown:

Twitpic:

slow turnover time between upload email and actual tweet
ability to comment on the actual pic (on the Twitpic website)
your comment can be accomplished on the actual site, or by replying to the tweet

Posterous:

virtual instantaneous tweet after uploading your pic
annoying confirmation email sent to you after your pic is uploaded
your tweeted reply will not show up as a comment
more than just a pic uploading service to twitter – can do mobile blogging and more!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on these services, or any others that you may use to post pictures via Twitter.

Happy Tweeting!

Carpe Diem
