We were “Twitter curious” (hah!) when it first launched in 2006. And so shortly after we launched Vodpod on December 4, 2006, we wired up Vodpod so you could automatically have Vodpod send a “tweet” when you added a video. And we launched a Facebook app last summer.
As blogger Marshall Kirkpatrick wrote a few weeks ago, “FriendFeed is the new hotness” and a lot of the cool kids are also hanging out over there, now. To further overwork this analogy, we’re a bunch of dorks desperately trying to get in with the cool kids, (OK, we had a vote on that last line. Sure I wrote it at 2am, but I thought it was witty and self-deprecating. Scott and Spencer thought it sounded lame, so I redacted — I wield my editorial control lightly!)
Seriously, FriendFeed is cool, so we’ve just enabled our users to hook up their Vodpod to their FriendFeed.
It’s simple to do. Just go to your settings by clicking the “edit your profile” link at the top of the page. Then click the “blog tools” tab, as shown here:
Scroll down the page and you’ll see a place to enter your FriendFeed credentials:
To get your “Remote Key” for FriendFeed, just click on the link; it’ll take you to the page on FriendFeed that gives you your RemoteKey.
Then, next time you add a video to Vodpod, we’ll also post the title, thumbnail, your comment and a link to the video on FriendFeed. It looks like this:
