The bookmarking system I am referring to is liking something on FriendFeed. Liking an item not only serves as an encouraging vote for the content author, but it also serves as a great bookmarking tool.
In addition, the liking feature performs as a:
The river of content flows fast and furiously on FriendFeed. Often, I will miss friends’ postings because of this. The like feature has become a necessary bookmarking tool to keep track of everything. The like system on FriendFeed serves the same purpose as a bookmarking service. It allows you to archive and access stored data for consumption at a later point in time. Using the like system as a bookmarker, will considerably help you keep track of your friends’ updates.
For the new people on FriendFeed who don’t quite know their way around. You can access your likes and comment history on the right side of your feed under your selected services.
Your FriendFeed liking history also can be read via rss. At the very bottom of your FriendFeed likes page, you will see an rss icon. Simply copy that link into Google reader and access it anytime.
Your rss feed will look like this: http://friendfeed.com/fruchter/likes?format=atom
Replace fruchter with your user name. If you follow me on FriendFeed, feel free to add my likes feed into your Google Reader. FriendFeed gives you an rss option for just about everything you do on the site. It’s a great way to get the best of your FriendFeed in Google Reader.
The “liking” feature also functions as an indicator of who is online. It is sort of a FriendFeed presence system. This is the best method for me, to gauge who is active at any given time on FriendFeed. In this river, you need to stand out. Consistent liking and contributing will get your name out there. The more I see your name, the more I take notice. Expect me to visit your feed and like bookmark things of interest.
