Founded by four ex-Googlers, FriendFeed allows you to subscribe to your friends’ updates across 35 social networks and to stay up to date with the content they’re discovering and sharing across the web. Their commitment to social media : Are they dabblers in social media or serious aficionados?

Some of those tactics may seem more vile than others, but a dangerous reality exists that no one is talking about — with social networks comes theft, and very little pay off for content creators. E.g. I read formula1 news on [link] instead of f1 feeds. I think the big issue here is more about sites with snippets of text.

If you use Twitter regularly, you’d see that it wins as a social news site that provides instantaneous news — at least of that caliber. As Chris Garrett explains in his post, if you follow numerous feed bots, you can get the news all the time. The right news will hit the front page of Digg quickly.

This is not a regular practice on the social news giant, and unfortunately, that is probably the biggest thing causing its downfall. There was only one occasion when the users were able to make a lasting impression on the social news site. It’s hard to say if that will happen again. Time will only tell.

In the past few weeks, however, even Digg’s other top users are seeing that Digg is becoming more difficult of a social news site to enjoy, and after stepping away from Digg for awhile, I have some thoughts and reflections on how it was and possibly how it should be. How you use social media depends on your frame of mind.

There are actually a few websites I don’t subscribe to via RSS because I subscribe to the blogger on Stumble and actually rely on getting their new post via the share.

I agree that building a brand name is really important, but “fake&# followers who don’t even engage (or even sign on or follow their home feed, for that matter) are not going to help boost your brand. It’s an inflation of numbers, nothing more.

It should also, at the same time, be something familiar to other Facebook users, as this is what they will see in their News feeds as their friends become fans or you post updates. It can be a pain to have to re-create a new Page and re-establish months of work building your Page if you get it wrong early on. Seems to work well.
