Using FriendFeed As My Twitter Client
May 26th, 2009 by (jeff)isageek

FriendFeed

This past weekend I decided to make a change with how I interact with Twitter by setting up FriendFeed to be my client of choice to monitor, post, and reply on Twitter.

So far it has been pretty effective but there are a few holes at the moment like if someone is not a friend or imaginary friend of mine of Facebook I will not get their @ replies (using tweetbeep to catch any that fall in the cracks at this time) as well as the ability to have mobile posts automatically post to twitter (it can be done in settings but I dont want every message to go to twitter).

My main goal with going this route is to get as much of my online activity onto FriendFeed…I really enjoy the service and how it allows me to find out what is hot out there on the web, allows me to interact with a great community, and share all kinds of great content and such with my followers.

How is this done you ask? It is pretty easy really just create groups of your FriendFeed friends like for mine I have one for the guys of my favorite podcast the ffundercats, local twitter users, and one for the gang on the social geeks podcast. Once I have them in a group I create a saved search pulling only their twitter posts and getting rid of the rest. With that you now have a twitter stream to your liking! If you are interested in trying something like this out let me know and I can help you set it up.

I now have FriendFeed as my news stream, my podcast stream, my twitter stream, and pretty much my finger on the pulse of the web and even the world. Pretty kool huh?

Monday I posted to FriendFeed that I was making the switch to FriendFeed as my Twitter client and a pretty good discussion opened up so I wanted to share it with you to check out and even get your thoughts and input….so if you are on FriendFeed give us your 2 cents on the subject.
