Bloggers: Find Fresh Content for Your Blog on FriendFeed

Since I have been using Friend Feed over the past few months, the service has turned into an excellent source of material for blogging. My main source of material for Technology Links Daily has always been my various RSS subscriptions through Google Reader, but my FriendFeed contacts have quickly become a reliable go-to source for technology-related information.

FriendFeed is an aggregator of social networking activity. Create an account and hook it up to the various social network sites in which you participate, and watch FF pull together your activity in a neat, organized list. Subscribe to other FriendFeed users, and all of their online activity is displayed on your FriendFeed home page.

By simply scanning my FriendFeed homepage a few times a day, I can see what sort of content my contacts are Digging, bookmarking, Stumbling, and sharing, what topics they are covering on their blogs, and what they are saying in their Twitter streams.

Looking for a fresh perspective? Every item that appears on FriendFeed is the beginning of a potential conversation. Reading what smart people have to say about the topics in which I am interested constantly sheds new light on the same subject matter.
