    The bookmarking system on FriendFeed started by mfruchter
    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 preforms as a:

    Shiny Badges started by mfruchter
    In the quest towards becoming early adapters, we often sign up for anything and everything.  It seems every other day there are new services launching. Most of us feel we need to stake an early claim within that service just in case the it actually takes off. While a few make it, the majority fade [...]
    Getting social with bookmarking on FriendFeed. started by mfruchter
    I posted a few days ago on FriendFeed about wanting to get more social with my bookmarking. I primarily was referring to using all the features of Diigo to their full extent. One of which is the ability to comment on bookmarks. Hutch Carpenter recently commented on some of my Diigo bookmarks. This i
    Make FriendFeed & Twitter your social portal started by mfruchter
    Created by Ray Grieselhuber, Gridjit uses the FriendFeed & Twitter API extensively to create an interactive social portal home page.  It visually organizes your FriendFeed and Twitter time lines into columns. It spreads out your time line by user, and shows that users’ m
    You want fries with that website? started by mfruchter
    Looking to establish a presence on the Internet?  Whether a corporate/personal website, e-commerce site or blog, the two basic fundamentals that are needed and never change, are a domain name and a good web host. The former needs no explanation, the latter is a different story. We are a society currently living in the Wal-Mart [...]

    Viral on FriendFeed started by mfruchter
    I am always on the search for the latest and greatest social media applications. I am often too quick to sign up for a service based solely on hype. Perhaps most of us technophiles are an easy sell. Mention the word “beta” and you have a new instant subscriber, no questions asked. Whether or not [...]

If you share the same general interests in social media as I do, you should consider subscribing to their feeds. If you are currently subscribed to me on Friendfeed, then you [...]
    The last few days on FriendFeed started by mfruchter
    Last week I decided to stray from the herd on FriendFeed. My mission was to spend five days getting to know the people that I follow better. For five days I only commented, liked and shared content of individuals in my member circle. For the most part the experiment was a success. My mistake was [...]

    Paying it forward on FriendFeed started by mfruchter
    This idea was inspired from this post by J. Phil of scribkin.com. The idea is simple, and I think will be very rewarding.

    When I first joined FreindFeed in February, it was easy to maintain a normal balance of my friends and their activities. This was easy because my number of subscriptions was low. Five months [...]

    The underground world of internet fraud. started by mfruchter
    One of my core responsibilities as a system admin is preventing credit card fraud on our network. I’m basically the primary gatekeeper who determines the validity and legitimacy of all new online orders. With the large amount of business we do on a daily basis, it’s impossible to completely eliminate credit card fraud. Even with [...]

    Stern is referring to actively clicking advertisements to show support for the author. He has a noble argument. I occasionally will click a banner ad, but not as often I should be doing. Being a webmaster for so many years, has lead me to [...]

    Felix, a member on FriendFeed, recently released a handy little FriendFeed script called FriendVenn.
