How are YOU using FriendFeed? Rich has not been able to figure out the best way to use this. It is a service that he has yet to be able to make productive.
Unfortunately, Rich views this service as RSS “noise.” There are too many people that cross-post to a variety of sites — which results in redundant items coming through FriendFeed.
Please contact Rich at podcast [at] richpalmer {dot} com (be sure to include yoru audio file if you want to share your thoughts on the show). You can also call (888) 223-5108.
