Flickr on FriendFeed

Excellent new discovery today.

Friendfeed is an awesome way to follow your Flickr contacts. Can't believe I've only just discovered it. Big thanks to Thomas Hawks for his illuminating blog on the subject.

To get yourself following contacts - here's a very simple guide.

First - add yourself. Simply register on the site, click on Me, click Add/Edit services then pick Flickr. You can then add your Flickr user name into the box then clicked Import Flickr. Then click back on Me to see my recent Flickr updates.

Second - add your contacts. Friendfeed uses the idead of Imaginary Friends - you can set up as many as you like. For example, to add my Flickr account, click on Friends, the Imaginary, give the friend a name, Doug88888, then click Create. Then simply select Flickr as an extra service and add your friends user account, so Doug88888 again. And voila, you now have your friends stream too.

Just go back onto Home to follow it. You can then click on any picture you like to zoom over to their picture on Flickr for comments, fave's and more.

There's loads of other things you can add like Facebook, Twitter, Digg and Last.Fm. Have fun.
