I have been trying to figure this out for the last two hours - can anyone tell me how to access the RSS feed of a page's links (not my profile! a page's links - I am the admin) so that I can import it into FriendFeed? the harder I try to figure this out, the angrier I am becoming over facebook's counter-intuitive navigation. I am setting this up for my business and it only shows the RSS feed for my personal links, not the page's links. Driving me nuts.

I hadn't thought about the amplification this brings. I need to get on creating some quality content!

FriendFeed and Twitter are not competitors, except when it comes to
having a platform to provide updates and engage with peers. Twitter,
to FriendFeed, is just one stream of updates, like every other service
they support. Twitter has the benefit of a large user base, and a lot
of 3rd party apps, and FriendFeed is catching up on both counts (at
least on a percentage basis).

Great Post! These are the type of posts that makes me realize that Twitter is not everything. You and Louis posts on Friendfeed demonstrate some features which makes Twiter seem too simple (even though that's the strength of Twitter, of course). Interesting will be to find a way to unite all strength of both services, in for example Friendfeed?

Excellent post. Your advise should be heeded by all FriendFeed users - especially those that have a blog but haven't fed it into FF.

I do have a hard time with your statements that Twitter should be worried about FriendFeed's growth. In the Compete graph, Twitter is growing by 10%. That's not trivial when you have 3.3 million people visiting the site. In fact, that 10% growth represents almost 50% of FriendFeed people. And while the 24% growth is impressive, it's not as difficult to achieve when you are growing from a total of 600,000.

Don't get me wrong. I love FriendFeed and am rooting for it. I just think the use of FriendFeed is still largely geeks and online marketers while Twitter has rolled into mainstream.

Adam, it depends on your purpose for blogging. Are you interested in getting more traffic or exposure for your blog? FriendFeed has all walks of life - I think you'll definitely find people that may be interested in what your blog has to say.

How relevant is the topic/content of one's blog? For example, I use FriendFeed for professional and personal purposes. My blog is strictly personal and covers topics such as religion, Christianity, etc. Considering the FF audience, will I benefit from importing my blog into FF?

Great post, Jesse. I was initially skeptical of FriendFeed and more or less publicly whipped it on my blog. :-) However, within a couple weeks, I was beginning to see traffic to my blog posts from FriendFeed. I was also able to make contact with other bloggers in the field that I would otherwise not. So, yeah, I definitely DO recommend importing your blog posts into Friendfeed. It is actually stupid not to.
