FFSummary: Summarizes your FriendFeed Feeds

Are you a FriendFeed user but having trouble keeping up with your friend’s feeds? FFSummary will send you a summary consisting of the most popular posts in your feed. The summary will be sent to your email on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. This way you won’t have to worry about missing popular trends found on your FriendFeed.

To use the free service, simply grant it access to your FriendFeed account and hand them your email address. The next step is to create a new notification. Just select from daily, weekly or monthly summary and place the number of entries you want to be emailed to you (you can select up to 30 entries). You can also select multiple types of summaries. If you want feed summaries to be delivered to you on a daily and monthly basis, all you have to do is add another notification.

This is a great way of tracking friend feeds if you don’t have time to check your FriendFeed account all the time. With FFSummary, you can schedule your updates and get only the most popular ones. You won’t have to miss popular trends due to massive updates made by your FriendFeed buddies.

FFScheduler: Schedule Your FriendFeed Posts

With FriendFeed now under the wings of Facebook, there’s a pretty good chance that we’ll see more third party apps developing for the one stop social networking update site. This is good news for FriendFeed which has been overpowered by Twitter in terms of growth. If more developers will continue to support the service, it will no doubt become a better alternative for most to the popular Twitter service.

FFScheduler is an app that allows you to schedule your posts on FriendFeed. It functions pretty much like the number of Twitter apps that does exactly the same thing. To schedule your posts and make them appear as if you are live and online.

To use the app, just head over to their site and login to your FriendFeed account through the service. Allow access to FfScheduler to begin scheduling your posts. Just place the title of the post, link and your first comment. You can also add multiple photo URLs and Audio (mp3) URLs on your scheduled posts. The last step is to set the date and time you want your scheduled post(s) to appear on your FriendFeed page.

FriendFeed Friendly Apps

Easily View FriendFeed Links in StumbleRead

StumbleRead is a link browser for your FriendFeed links. Normally, when using Friendfeed, you have to click the link and open a new tab in order to read or browse the content on a particular feed. With StumbleRead, you can browse all the FriendFeed feeds on the sidebar, and view those feeds on the same page.

What I like about the service is that its features are not only restricted to stumbling a feed. You can also make your comments and bookmark a particular feed from the StumbleRead sidebar. You can choose to StumbleRead your FriendFeed friends or StumbleRead everyone’s feed. You can also use its sharing tool to quickly add what you have stumbled to your FriendFeed account and share it with your friends.

The service is quite simple and pretty useful if you are a heavy FriendFeed user. If you are thinking of starting a FriendFeed account, you might want to check out StumbleRead and see if it will work out for you. You do not need to register for a new account in order to use the service. You just need to hand them out your FriendFeed nickname and FriendFeed remote key.

FriendFeed Machine for FriendFeed Management

FriendFeed Machine is a service that helps you manage your Friendfeed account. You can view your friends’ feeds separately. This will allow you to properly distinguish where a particular feed came from. It also lets you view how many comments a feed got from other users. You can also filter the feeds by the service from which they came from. Just click the logo of the service (e.g Twitter) and you can see all the tweets made by that user.

I also noticed the absence of links to the feeds in FriendFeed Machine. To some, this might cause inconvenience because of its inability to direct you to the links that you might find interesting. If they place links in there then they’ll become a FriendFeed aggregator of some sort. It will take away its purpose of being a friendly FriendFeed webapp. It would be nice though if they could just integrate their features to FriendFeed itself. That will surely increase FriendFeed’s management features.

Cleaner FriendFeed

Cleaner FriendFeed offers the name that it suggests, a cleaner Friendfeed. It changes FriendFeed’s layout by removing the logo and changing the fonts, spacing and highlights. You can also tweak it to fit your taste. Cleaner FriendFeed is available in Stylish(a Firefox Plugin) or you can use the GreaseMonkey Script.

Lets be friends in FriendFeed.
