The FriendFeed Front Page Game

June 18th, 2008 | Tags:

One of the emergent properties of FriendFeed is a new type of competitive content creation.  Only the most interesting content remains on the front page for any length of time.  All day long you can watch entries float on down the Rio del FriendFeed down, down into the tubez.  I think most people, like me, rarely look past the front page.

So, I like to play the FriendFeed Front Page Game.  It’s simply really.  Create threads or comment on threads that stay on the front page for as long as possible.  This not only helps you score imaginary points, it also helps keep the quality of front page material as high as possible.

I realize that everyone’s front page is different, but the threads that stay on your front page the longest also show up on most of your friends’ front page as well.  So, get your scorecards boys and girls.  2 points for each thread you start for each hour it remains on the front page and 1 point for each thread you comment on at least 3 times that for each hour that it stays on the front page.

So, play the FFFPG with me and help make Friend Feed the most interesting non-dump truck related site on the internets!
