New Beta Friendfeed Unveils Friend lists, gets better

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Friendfeed rolled out a new beta, with some new features. My favorite, and the one that really does help make Friendfeed better is Friends list. Finally, I can separate out my tech contacts from my personal contacts, or maybe the folks who write a lot about social media and tend to create a lot of extra noise can go in their own list, one that I check a bit less frequently than the list of folks I really, really want to follow on Friendfeed.

In essence, friend lists allows me to replicate my favorite feature of Google Reader, folders. Folders allows me to separate RSS feeds out by subject matter, which I can prioritize accordingly when I have limited time.

I still don’t see it as a replacement for Google Reader, or any RSS reader for that matter (no full text feeds!), but it just got a little easier to filter out the noise, and that’s always a plus!

    I have noticed a sharp uptick in the number of spam trackbacks that are getting through the Movable Type installation since I upgraded to version 4. Anyone else seen the same thing? The default comment spam settings seem to be working pretty well, but whereas I never got any trackback spams getting through, suddenly I’m…

    I got a question the other day about whether this blog helped me get my new job. It was an interesting question, because I hadn’t really thought about it. The job was an internal post, so the concept of someone finding my blog and using it to evaluate what I know about technology, obviously, wasn’t…

    I saw where Google released a “me too” calendar tool today. I only have one word for them, Intellisync. I keep my calendar in Outlook, so I have it off-line, the only on-line tool I use is Yahoo’s calendar so that my wife can see where I will be at any given time in the…

    As some of you know, if you’ve been paying attention, I’ve been trying, albeit unsuccessfully, to bring the RSS movement to the place I work. Mostly it’s been out of a fear that the emails we send our members are increasingly not being delivered. Well now, as Jenny pointed out, the Public Utilities Commission of…
