Share science at FriendFeed
I’ve been using FriendFeed for a while now and it was initially just another spot to share my content flow.
The service allows you to share a ton of information from a large number (40+) websites ranging from Flickr to del.icio.us to twitter.
Recently, the folks at FriendFeed made it possible to create rooms where users could now congregate and drop in links. I think this was a very smart move because it allowed some organization within the enormous flow of content that even a small group of friends generates.
Given these conditions, a small group of life science buddies set up a room called The Life Scientists and it grew quickly to a jam packed 100+ “full” room.
What I find really cool about all this is not just the ability to follow what colleagues and friends are doing online but the comments that they provide. A great example can be seen in the image that follows:
FriendFeed has been growing quite rapidly and by keeping things simple it’s been useful for sharing web content and also maintaining light conversation around specific topics. Let’s hope it keeps that way!
