FriendFeed Makes It Easy for Twitters to Join, But Are Sales Up?

I have long used FriendFeed as my “friend” filtered news. It is less noisy than my RSS reader and I have been used it not to build an audience, but rather a living newspaper.

Twitter on the other hand has always been my social selling tool. I mixed in personal and professional engagement to build a powerful business development environment and a great marketing audience.

However, all of that changed when FriendFeed made joining from Twitter a click of a button and then all of my Twitter audience literally flooded in.

This is going to require some rethinking of how I, and others are using FriendFeed. This seems to create almost a complete overlap of features and functionality. This yields several questions:

  • Do you use one or the other; or continue with both?
  • What is your “friending” strategy?
  • How does this new change affect you business use?

Open Floor and Mic to Readers

I am just beginning to think about these changes. I would love to hear your viewpoints, observations, and strategies for FriendFeed and dealing with the new flood of users and subscribers. So, what do you think?

    I am now learning the FriendFeed tools and trying to figure out what is now duped with Twitter. I am all for filtering and streamlining this SM process because you either run it the way you want or drown. With CRM, RSS, E-mail, VM…etc. The key is balance, wish I had any major tips. Hopefully more folks will help here. I will check back. Thanks for starting the dialogue….

      Steve,

      Thanks for checking in. I agree finding the right balance and in my mind a “philosophy” or objective behind each tool is critical to sales success. Sounds like a good follow post topic.

      Community, any other ideas out there on how you balance these tools for success?
