Welcome to my blog where I talk about social media, the social web, geeky stuff, and whatever else comes to mind.

Access Your Social Sites On FriendFeed With FFWorkSpace

If you are a FriendFeed addict like me you hate to ever leave the site as it has become the hub for my interweb connection.   But what if you need to go to sites like Brightkite, Seesmic, Diigo, ect?  You gotta leave FriendFeed for that right?  NO!!!

I just found a new greasemonkey script called FFWorkSpace that puts 26 preset favicons at the top of your FriendFeed page so that you can access the services right in FF.  Now you never have to leave!!! hehe

Comes with the following presets:

Communication
BrightKite, Gmail, Greader, Hellotxt, Identi.Ca, Jaiku, Ping.Fm, Plurk Mobile, Pownce, Twitter

Social Sharing
Buzz, Del.icio.us, Digg, Diigo, Mixx, Propeller, Reddit, StumbleUpon

Social Media
Disqus, Facebook, Last.Fm, MySpace, Seesmic, Veoh, Vimeo, YouTube

note : developed to make icons visible on most 1024px or wider monitors.

FriendFeed Treats - Part II

friendfeed

Well another day and another batch of greasemonkey scripts get released for FriendFeed and they are some good ones.  Internet Duct Tape keeps bringing the goods!

This time we have the following :

FriendFeed Pagerization - script that lets you “infinitely scroll” FriendFeed.
Increase Entries Per Page - FriendFeed show you 30 entries now…how about 50 or 100?
Reshare Any Link - lets you share a link from Friend Feed with ANY other social bookmarking site.
Even More Expander - FriendFeed uses “More” for links so you dont have to much “noise” on your page.  with this script it brings the “noise” :) and displays everything.

All of these are great scripts that I have running now and they add some great funtionality and enjoyment of FriendFeed.  Love it!

Just a final note please feel free to check out my friendfeed page and subscribe to all my posts.

A Few FriendFeed Treats Out There

friendfeed

It seems like the buzz the last week or so has been FriendFeed, FriendFeed, and a little more FriendFeed or atleast in the social media/web circle.

I think a few things have pretty much thrown the fuel on the fire and created a towering inferno like the release of the API which is gonna bring us all kinds of apps (web based, desktop based, and mobile based - fingers crossed), the integration with twitter has been a huge step, and I think some greasemonkey scripts out there now are adding to the functionality and usefulness of FriendFeed. Below are a few that I am using and am aware of….if you have any others please please feel free to leave a comment and let us know.

Greasemonkey scripts

Filter FriendFeed by Service - This one will put a line of all the friendfeed services icons at the top of your page allowing you to click on one of the icons and filter your view with just all posts by you or your friends to that service.

FriendFeed Twitter Client - FriendFeed already lets you reply to twitter messages and have them added back to twitter but with this script it actually lets you originate a twitter post from right on your page. Very handy and kool of course :) Oh I almost forgot it also gives you your character count so you can stay under 140 easily and it automatically checks the “reply on twitter?” box

Remove Visited Links - Already seen a link? Dont want to see it again on FriendFeed? Enough stuff to look through as it is? Well this script basically takes a link you already looked at and makes it disappear for ya. Pretty handy when you have a lot to go thru daily.

A Few Non Script Goodies

Comments Wordpress Plugin - Get some comments on a blog post you put up on FriendFeed? Love to have them show up with your normal blog comments? Well this is a plugin for you. It will put those comments added via FriendFeed back on your blog! Brilliant!

FriendFeed Stats - This little site will tell you which day yourself or any user for that matter posts to FriendFeed the most or you can find out what day you post the most flickr pics, del.icio.us links, blog posts, ect. Overall just a place for us interested in numbers and stats to get our fix :)

FriendFeed Grid - This little site randomly throws up FriendFeed users pics in a grid and allows you to go to their FriendFeed page…it also shows the 20 most subscribed to (shocker Robert Scoble is #1 :) ) as well as 10 most commenting. So overall just a fun little site to discover others using FriendFeed.

Well that is a little look at some scripts, plugins and other stuff you can grab to help you enhance your FriendFeed experience and if you have any other services that have popped up recently please feel free to leave a comment with a link to them for everyone to check out.
