My thanks to those who are making submitting their Top Ten Favorite Users of FriendFeed a priority. The first submission is already in and Derek Semmler’s FriendFeed choices are excellent. I first found Derek at StumbleUpon so I was pleasantly surprised to see he has included many of my old SU favorites in his FriendFeed list. Some of them I hadn’t found yet at FriendFeed.
I know we’re all busy so I want to remind those reading this of the good participating in challenges like our Favorite Top Ten FriendFeed Friends Challenge can do for you and others:
- Gain more readers – Isn’t that why we write? To share what we’ve learned with anyone else who is interested? You want them to find you, right?
- Learn new skills – There is already someone who knows what you want to learn. Why reinvent the wheel when they’re willing to share what they know?
- Increase Your Social Networking Velocity – Those you follow online are not created equal. The more power users you know the faster your own networks will grow – exponentially instead of serially!
- Maintain Relationships – FriendFeed is far superior for having real online conversations to any other Social Networking site we’ve seen.
- Converse with Enormously Popular Bloggers – There are some people who are so successful – and so busy – that the only place you’re likely to ever have an actual interaction with them – much less an extended conversation – is on FriendFeed.
Why can you talk to the rich and famous on FriendFeed? Because it is THE best place to talk to anyone. Not using FriendFeed yet? It is really easy. Start here:

- The Unofficial Guide to FriendFeed Part 2: Getting Started
Even if you’re just getting started you CAN participate in our Top Ten Favorite FriendFeed Users Challenge! Here’s how:
- Check out FriendFeed Lists others have posted, visit those FriendFeed users and select those who write what you’re interested in
- Use the links at ffholic to find FriendFeed’s Most Popular, Most Discussed, Most Liked, Most Active, or Most Commented.
- Search ffholic to search entries, users and rooms for the subjects you are interested in. You’re bound to find at least ten favorites from among the many users of FriendFeed.
- Have a blog or site? Maximize the benefit of entering by posting your list on your own site and then adding your link in the comments of the FriendFeed Challenge.
- No site? Add your Top Ten list directly into the FriendFeed Challenge comments.
You can make your list really useful to yourself and others by researching the niches you are interested in and making your list niche specific. Can’t find enough in one niche? Feel free to subdivide your list into several niches, or your niche and top Friends. Use your imagination. We’re looking forward to hearing from YOU!

Maintain relationships online as well as offline (yes offline, some of the folks are too cool) and learning curve are the two main things I reaped of from using friendfeed. Its such an incredible opportunity. I wanted to write a blog about it sometime back, but something kept me away. Glad you emphasized the importance and benefits of using it.

Social networking is a very important step in improving the reach of your business. Twitter is probably the best and most useful tool for doing this.
I have been using Friendfeed for a while now and it is working out well for me.

@Chad FriendFeed is still fairly young so you could create a Real Estate related niche there and have others join you. Use the search function if you want to find others who are either in a specific geographic area or also interested in real estate. You may also want to start a room for a particular interest.
Did you happen to see the information here about Local Listing Directories? Adding yourself to as many major directories as possible makes it far easier to locate AND improves your search engine placement too.
See Local Listings REALLY Simplified under pages at the top right corner (or just click on the link above this comment to get there).
