I recently subscribed to the feed of my friends’ updates on Facebook. It’s useful, but Friend Feed sounds like it has potential to be even more useful: A way to aggregate and monitor all your friends (sources) online activities.

"FriendFeed and Plaxo Pulse let you designate friends, then easily add
feeds of your activities from other sites. The result is that each user
sees a continuous stream of updates from friends — Twitter messages,
uploaded YouTube videos, blog posts, shared Google Reader items, and
much more. Both FriendFeed and Plaxo include community discussion
features, such as commenting on others’ items."

About BeatBlogging.org

BeatBlogging.org was a grant-funded journalism project that studied how journalists used social media and other Web tools to improve beat reporting. It ran for about two years, ending in the fall of 2009.

New content is occasionally produced here by the this project's former editor Patrick Thornton. The site is still up and will remain so because many journalists and professors still use and link to the content. BeatBlogging.org offers a fascinating glimpse into the former stages of journalism and social media. Today it's expected that journalists and journalism organization use social media, but just a few years ago that wasn't the case.
