I am pretty happy about tumblr and the fact that I have peer pressured at least 2, possibly 3 of my friends into signing up for it. Next we are all going to jump off a bridge.
Okay, this is pretty hot:
That is my FriendFeed. Unless you are reading this off of your livejournal friendlist and then it is nothing but a big blank space, so click the entry link and behold its sexiness, livejournallers! Anyway, if you want to keep track of me in one easy place (and why WOULDN’T you? I routinely set the internet on fire with amazingness, I do not understand why anyone would not want to follow me), bookmark this page:
OR get a FriendFeed account and subscribe to it yerself (*peer pressure*). I am trying to convince author people to get in on this action in other forums because a) not only is it smart, b) a streamlined internet is generally a sexier one and c) anything that abets my lazy webviewing habits is pretty okay with me.
So right now my friendfeed will let you know (& provide the links, obv): when I update this blog, when I update my tumblr, when I add photographs to flickr, when I favourite–and eventually add–videos to youtube and also when I add books to goodreads (proof that I read!).
I unplugged this blog from my tumblr since it would’ve shown on my FriendFeed twice (eww). My only complaint is that I wish the widget was sexier so I could put it in my sidebar and not feel like it was uglying the place up, but I guess we can’t have everything. Maybe I should stop being so looks shallow.
Anyway. I like FriendFeed better than myspace too. Speaking of myspace, all these random indie musicians are friending me. What is that about? Do I look like a groupie? Probably I look like a groupie.
So, yeah. FriendFeed. I am giving it a decided ‘Whoo!’
Credit where credit’s due: thanks for the heads-up, Brad!

I’ve never heard of Friend feed before. As long as it isn’t a pit of zombies that I’m feedin my buddies to, then yeah, go Friend feed!
Do I look like a groupie? Probably I look like a groupie
Well, if you’re wearing your groupie t-shirt for Australia, then perhaps.
But really, I think that’s just what indie musicians do. Like spam, you only have to sign up once, somewhere, and before you know it, everyone wants to know you.
Unlike spam though, some / most of them are probably very talented. Which presents a significant problem.
Angela: It’s really awesome! And it definitely has it in its favor that it isn’t a zombie feed. ;)
Damon: TRUE. I am an Australia groupie. Is it my fault I know so many amazing people in Australia? No. It is Australia’s fault. I haven’t really listened closely to the musicians that have added me which is pretty suck. I just wanna spend as little time on myspace as possible. I’M A TERRIBLE GROUPIE.
I am overwhelmed! You are so ahead of the curve I don’t know what to do.
On myspace, turn off the option to let bands add you as a friend… I did. They can’t have me as their groupie! Hahahahaha!
There is only one thing to do: FRIENDFEED. Mwahaha.
I didn’t know there was an option about letting bands add you as a friend! I am probably going to leave it, though, because those 5 seconds where I see I have a new friend request and before I see it’s just another band trying to make me their groupie are heart-thrilling.
(I don’t live in the city so I takes my excitement where I gets it).
I’m on board anything that makes me look even slightly cooler than what I am (which is to say, anything that makes me look less of a nerd)
People with FriendFeed are automatically the coolest people on earth!! This is so thrilling. I HAVE SUBSCRIBED TO YOU. Eee.
