Setting up Friend Feed — a few gotchas and how to avoid ‘em!

Well, I watched Ed Dale’s FriendFeed video and thought — well,
that’s easy enough.

Ha!

I had to carefully follow what Ed said and did in the video.

Quick notes:
After you sign up — EVENTUALLY you will want to add friends.
I imported my FB friends — but I don’t think that’s what Ed
had in mind! (yet).

To get to the place where you include your shared items
from Google Reader, click on the “spice up your feed”
link under the friends tab.

But guess what? Right now I can’t even figure out how
to get back to seeing that link!

That link, though, gives you the page where you add
in the feeds from the various social apps that you belong
to. For instance,  shared items from Google Reader. Or
your youtube account. Certainly your twitter account.

I’m not quite sure how you go about subscribing to a
particular person’s FriendFeed feed — Ed suggests that
you sub to his:  http://www.friendfeed.com/eddale

When I went to the 30DC room –
http://www.FriendFeed.com/rooms/thirty-day-challenge
it did ask me to subscribe, and I did.

I created a room for my fellow teammates (check your
twitters, guys!).

Just to confuse everyone (including myself, because it
looks like FF took my “nick” from an earlier attempt to
sign up, and did not use nextday or, what I thought I
had put in, nextdaycopy.

So… to subscribe to my friendfeed:
http://www.FriendFeed.com/numbers

Who knows.  Maybe it will be like domain names someday
and be valuable.

Why numbers?  Cuz I’m a numbers junkie.  I like testing
and tracking and refining so that people can get the
maximum on their conversions.

Latest success?  Getting more people to confirm their
opt-in on a double opt-in list.  Not only higher percentage,
but also did so faster. :)  The person I did this for was
quite pleased. :)
Cheers!

Live JoyFully!
