Now on FriendFeed
A few weeks ago I registered for a Twitter account, mainly so Deborah could keep up with what I was doing throughout the day at the office. Twitter is a microblogging application that asks “what are you doing?”; to which you can reply with a maximum of 140 words. I began posting with a Firefox add-on called TwitterFox. It is a great little program that appears in the bottom right corner of my browser, allowing me to type a quick note while I work, which posts to my Twitter page immediately.
While I felt these notes might be of interest to those visiting this site, I have had difficulty finding a plugin for WordPress that does an adequate job of displaying them in my sidebar. In my pursuit to find just the right method, I came across an implementation on a tech site I often read called Scobleizer. Prominent blogger Robert Scoble shows all of his latest web activity via a service called FriendFeed. It captures and displays all his new entries in chronological order, whether they are from a blog RSS feed, a Twitter or other microblogging account, a Flickr photo stream, or a myriad of other social networking platforms.
Need a translation for any of this? Just visit our new FriendFeed and you should easily figure out what I am talking about. Here is a list of the various ways you can now stay connected with Missionary Broadcasting.com:
Hopefully I can get a more Scoble-like sidebar application running within the next few weeks. Right now I have put in a request with our web host to upgrade the software we need to make it happen.

The potential of Twitter for missionaries is just now being cogitated, I think. The idea of hundreds of US supporters getting the message “Three people just got saved” from a missionary on their cell phones is huge.
Btw…I am now following you.
