Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion: How To Find FriendFeed Rooms With Google

  • igorthetroll · 1 year ago
    I do not know why Darren would only selectively invite Bloggers to his room?

    I think if you create a room on Friend Feed and it is a public room, it should be welcome to everybody! Someone who is not a Blogger may learn about what blogging is by participating in a room for bloggers.

    I invite everyone to my Friend Feed room.
    Do not be alarmed by the name! It is a parody!

    Nice tip Andy, but why add the 'inurl' part to the query, you'll achieve exactly the same thing by searching for:

    site:friendfeed.com/rooms/

    Martin I am only using Spam Karma, but any mention of google.com and it is flagged as spam - Google need to clean up Google groups to prevent that happening.

    If you look at the retuned results, with my search string they are different, and maybe better, due to the order.

    The difference is Google is actually searching for a specific string, so in some way it is trying to give relevance.

    I recommend to use tinyurl.com if you need to post a Google link.

    Thanks for the tip Andy. Blogoscoped has also published a list of the 500 rooms already created on FriendFeed. http://blogoscoped.com/friendfeed/rooms

    Btw, my room, Twitter Apps, is number 94 on the list.

    Sharon, I looked at the list and it is kind of hard to make heads or tails from it. After visiting a few rooms, I did not find them interesting, even though I followed the room descriptions.

    I recommend for users signing up to Friend Feed to follow a few influential people in Social Media and the Blogorsphere. Once you find someone that you think you like follow them to the rooms that they subscribe to. You can see their room subscription in the bottom right hand panel.

    I do not think you need to subscribe to a room or to another user in order to comment to them.

    But you need to subscribe in order to track the activities.

    I think it makes sense to keep rooms selective. Lifestreaming becomes bigger and more popular every day and as we "live" more and more online it makes sense to be selective with who you hang out.

    Big idea, Andy and Francis! :D
    Obviously, she works only with public rooms
