Here is a link to my friendfeed so you can see it live in action. http://friendfeed.com/jasongoldberg Drop a note here via comments if you have any questions.

All in one bucket? Surprising move before you would have a posting / clipping only feed. As friendfeed to my knowledge still does not allow hide for separate feeds of the same service I don't see that many will jeopardize their subscriber base with a noisy socialmedian feed.

@nicolesimon it will show when you have posted something directly and/or if you have said you find a story to be interested (by clipping on it). We thought this was best place to start until we get actual integration with FriendFeed.

@nicolesimon Actually, what we're doing here looks to be same/very similar as Google Reader & Digg on FriendFeed. So, it should work well. That said, we will monitor it and adjust accordingly as we get feedback, as we do with all features.

This is not what you said before: "which provides a feed of ALL your socialmedian activities (postings, clippings, COMMENTS). " emphasis mine. And you do get information about how many people hide f.e. your feed from now in friendfeed? [of course ff is also to blame for not allowing feeds from other services based on favicon and a feed but that is a different story.]

Ah, ok. the way we have it setup right now is an RSS Feed of what stories you have submitted, clipped, or commented on. A new feed item is created when you do one of the above actions. It seems to be working very well http://friendfeed.com/jasongoldberg.

Jup works perfect. Already unsubscribed from your "blog" entries because of it. :) I stay by my point that having a 'everything feed' before having a 'relevant feed' is not a good decision, but that is everybody's own decision.

Nicole... there is already a feed for just clipped stories... it's on your "clipped stories" page, here's yours: http://www.socialmedian.com/nicolesimon/clipped-stories/rss

That is somewhat the challenge with FF as it is the kitchen sink vs. the personalized feed. socialmedian in fact is more of the personalized relevance feed. But anyway, this is an RSS feed of the user's activities and the user can do with it as he/she sees best. If we need to modify a feed for FriendFeed, we will. I think it's a fine and useful start. Will monitor this.

That feed is yet another thing not accessible from 'outside' of socialmedian but I assume a special setting has been made if the requesting entity is friendfeed? *sigh*
Jason, you want to lure people into using the site, not rejecting them all the time. [Referring to my selfish comment on twitter: socialmedian is unusable without a user login and even with a user login most links lead back to itself. ]

no, we do not have any special settings for friendfeed. we are opening up that feed and we are in the process of removing roadblocks. patience my friend, we're getting there! and we listen really well :)

Nicole: that much is true... the mere inability to click a link when not logged in is a character flaw in the experience that i'm sure will get ironed out...
p.s. i did not know that the RSS feed required authentication, my bad...
Aug 14, 2008
The "my clips" RSS feed will not longer require authentication in about 15 minutes or less. Sorry about that. And, are now enabling all external links to be clicked without registration and will open up more very soon. Thanks everyone!

Nice work Jason. Just a heads up, you might want to take a second look at external links in comments. (Also, unrelated, try logging out and coming to this page, and scroll down the page and click a link way below the fold... at least on my browser [ff3,osx] the "lightbox" style login box stays at the top of the page, it does not follow the scroll down....).

The RSS of "My Clips" from your public page is now able to be used too. So, you can go with all activities RSS from your "My" tab from your homepage, or just your "clips" from your public page. We'll enable the rest of the pages this week too (like My Newsmakers).

This is a great start! Looking forward to more Social Median updates. :)
