FriendFeed Discoveries

Nope. I haven’t abandoned FriendFeed. Not at all. I love how I can spend hours and hours exploring what others think is valuable. Unfortunately I can’t spend hours and hours doing that so my time on FriendFeed is a bit limited. Nevertheless I often find quite valuable blog posts and other articles that inform, motivate and entertain me. So I thought I’d share some with you today. I hope you enjoy, and if you get a chance, check out FriendFeed. It’s a great service.
