I’ve never done a stats update, and I haven’t refined my tools at all, so this post will be a little rough. First, let’s start with the good news: For the first time, scribkin has over 100 feed readers!
Earlier this week in my FriendFeed article, I mentioned an aspiring developer or and statistician named Yuvi Panda, or The StatBot. In the last couple of days, he has been playing with the FriendFeed API and has come up with an interesting stat: the FriendFeed Compatibility Index.
I know what you are thinking… This is the 35th FriendFeed post I have read in the past week! And you are absolutely correct.
I was just reading an article from Louis Gray about how to use the very cool and capable FriendFeed bookmarklet.
That got me thinking about just how many bookmarklets I have gathered in the past couple of months, and what they all do. You can see them in the screenshot over there.

Ok, be careful [...]
This post is going to be an unabashed whine for an essential tile that is missing in this blizzard of puzzle pieces called social media. And that piece I will call the universal receptor protocol.
As I was catching up in Google Reader this morning, I noticed this item in my RSSmeme FriendFeed feed. I highlighted the new change — it now appends all Google Reader shared item notes!
I’m not sure when this was added, but I think it is very .. err, noteworthy! No pun intended.

If you haven’t noticed it already, I wrote a guest post over on SheGeeks entitled FriendFeed And Your Personal Brand. If you have 5 minutes, please go check it out! I think I make a good argument for FriendFeed being a good medium in which to promote yourself via the community:
With the right approach, FriendFeed can [...]
A rare weekend post today, on a topic that most people probably will not find interesting and some people will find extremely awesome. I am speaking, of course, of the dozens of plugins, mods, and other bells & whistles that I have added to this blog over time.
If you like to catch up on your favorite sites using a feed reader, you are most likely using Google Reader or Bloglines. If you prefer an offline (installable app-based) feed reader, you may be using Newsgator’s FeedDemon or some other standalone app. However, in this article I will introduce you to 5 ways of reading your favorite feeds that you may not have thought about!
Man, I really need to step up my commenting game. I’m not saying I need to game the system or whatever.. you know what I’m talking about.
RSSmeme actually evolved, and continues to grow, from a very simple thought: Wouldn’t it be cool to tally up how many times a news post is shared in Google Reader and make a list of the most popular articles?
I normally wouldn’t ask this of my readers, but I’m trying to raise the profile of RSSmeme and this is a good eye-catching article. If you use Digg or Mixx, please vote this story up! Thanks!
Curious how many people are using Google Reader notes? In the last 24 hours 4527 new stories have [...]

As far as I know, Digsby is the first multi-IM client to support Facebook chat, and it’s a feature that many Facebook users are looking forward to. They say in a blog entry that messaging, buddy icons, status and status messaging are [...]
