Although the perspective focuses on Delicious, the message is clear; Bookmarking has more value when you use a tool that saves your bookmarks out to a website where they can be accessed or shared from any computer to any computer or user…
My favorite tool of this sort is called ‘FriendFeed’. Here’s a little on the philosophy and strategy behind FriendFeed…
Now, something about the tactics…
Things I love about FriendFeed:
- It can aggregate content from over 60 different sources to create one mega lifestream and/or you can keep separate streams by creating rooms
- You can easily share that stream with your Friendfeed friends
- You can integrate it with Facebook or your blog or an rss reader
- It’s easy to add content to your FriendFeed stream via Shareaholic, ShareThis or the FriendFeed bookmarklet
Things I don’t love about FriendFeed?
- The friend management tools are kludgy and probably won’t be fixed in the near future because of #2.
- It was acquired by Facebook and it’s future is uncertain!
Finally, a bit of humor. Here’s the Führer’s perspective on the FriendFeed acquisition… ;-)
