I specially liked the RSS section and the combination with Twirl. Now with all the buzz about beta FF 2.0 this is even more alive.

I created a room for all the Simon's Town issues (pulling in news feeds, related twitter account feeds, blogs, etc). It's clear from this post that we don't need to use twitter anymore.

All I have to do is get the community to register with Friend Feed and and get them to join the room.

They then need to download http://www.twhirl.com and add their remote key https://friendfeed.com/account/api .

When they have Twhirl open on their desktops they can go and click on the # to select the room. Here they can comment and read all the related news.

The question:

How do I add their Simon's Town related news and questions to the Simon's Town room? This is what I did for one user: I added the rss feed of the user to the room. But this implied that I knew the user. What if a Simon's Town community member join without notifying me? I suppose the best is to define searches to identify related news and then invite them to join the room.

BTW: There is one reason why I would suggest people with critical info to share use Twitter; they can sms their news wherever they are. (I cannot see a way to do this easily for people who never venture further than email).

The next step is to train 10-20 to get the CCC ball rolling. Thanks

Johan

Let me know how your efforts to get them to join FriendFeed goes.
