This is very rough, sorry but this was an email I made for my friend <a href="http://www.twitter.com/slackermark">@SlackerMark</a> as he is brand new to Twitter and FriendFeed. As I typed it up I thought it might make an OK blog post. <p /> <i> Here is my uber list of people in no particular order to follow on Twitter.

Here are a couple that I follow there:<p /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/ultrasur1">http://friendfeed.com/ultrasur1</a> she usually posts something thought provoking<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/problogger">http://friendfeed.com/problogger </a>Darren Rose a blogger in Australia, very good<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/justinkorn">http://friendfeed.com/justinkorn</a> some dude<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/louisgray">http://friendfeed.com/louisgray</a> tech dude<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/thepuck">http://friendfeed.com/thepuck</a> weird but interesting dude <br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/scobleizer">http://friendfeed.com/scobleizer</a> more scoble<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/techcrunch">http://friendfeed.com/techcrunch</a> more arrington<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/pathawks">http://friendfeed.com/pathawks</a> programmer<p /> FriendFeed also has rooms which usually feature conversations about topics or locations rather than people's individual feed. <p /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/rooms/birmingham-alabama">http://friendfeed.com/rooms/birmingham-alabama</a> This is my room<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/rooms/friendfeed-feedback">http://friendfeed.com/rooms/friendfeed-feedback</a> Good one if you want to bitch about friendfeed<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/rooms/appleroom">http://friendfeed.com/rooms/appleroom</a> Yes it's about Apple, but think of it as cross training!<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/rooms/movie-reviews">http://friendfeed.com/rooms/movie-reviews</a> Movies and someones opinion of it<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/rooms/pro-blogger">http://friendfeed.com/rooms/pro-blogger</a> About blogging and social media<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/rooms/rww">http://friendfeed.com/rooms/rww</a> About tech, blogging, and social media<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/rooms/weloveapps">http://friendfeed.com/rooms/weloveapps</a> Very cool site that features (normally) free Windows, Mac, Linux, and web apps<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/mitchelltsai">http://friendfeed.com/mitchelltsai </a>some guy<br /> <a href="http://friendfeed.com/tad">http://friendfeed.com/tad</a> more tad<p /> Because both of these sites have opened their API's for the world to program there are many programs that let you access these websites from a desktop app. I recommend trying <a href="http://www.twhirl.org/">http://www.twhirl.org/ </a>first. It's a better twitter client than anything else. Friend Feeds website is so good you really will want to use it over the app. But twitter is nice to pull updates to the desktop.<p /> Since you like using and (I assume) pay for text messages, you can interact with Twitter via SMS. Check out their help pages for more, as I never use it in this manner but it looks interesting! Also look into Friend Feeds Imaginary Friends which lets you add people who are not using FF to still appear in your FF stream. For example, my friend <a href="http://www.twitter.com/camaross">@CamaroSS</a> is on Twitter but not FF so I created an imaginary friend of <a href="http://www.twitter.com/camaross">@CamaroSS</a> in FF and now his Twitter updates appear in my FF stream, even though he has never signed up for a FF account. Pretty cool!<p /> Well, that's it for now. I'm tired, that was a lot of typing. Time for some food. Hit me up as I am on Twitter constantly <a href="http://www.twitter.com/bmbufalo">@bmbufalo</a>. It's crack I tell you! <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img class="posterous_download_image" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2675399127377711436-5990150325610816152?l=bmbufalo.blogspot.com" height="1" alt="" width="1" /></div>
