Give your Blog a "Lived in" look, add the secret Friendfeed Widget

Your blog not getting updated as much as you used to, because you spend all your time on Twitter and Friendfeed? Don't let your readers, viewers, or occasional family members wonder if you have moved out of your old URL, add a more frequently update lifestream through the secret Friendfeed widget.

It's a Secret? Sort of. If you don't know the URL, you won't find it on the the Friendfeed menus.

You can find your widget in Friendfeed, by typing in the following URL "http://friendfeed.com/embed?user=yourname" (Don't forget that you should replace "yourname" with your friendfeed username.) (e.g. http://friendfeed.com/embed?user=yanov)

Sure, you could grab the RSS feed from Twitter or Friendfeed and dress it up yourself, but this link is the easy way to get your blog or personal web page looking like you are still hanging around.

Sample below:

Twitter v. Jaiku - a conversation on Friendfeed

I really like the interface and even the promise of Jaiku, but it seems to be getting no traction at all. Twitter, and now Friendfeed, are sucking all of the air out of the room. This week, Robert Scoble asked Why Jaiku is not more popular. The conversation is on Friendfeed.
