What is friendfeed and do we need another social networking site?

Published by Jeff under Internet, Reviews

admiral's friendfeed FriendFeed is service for people to keep up-to-date on the web pages, photos, videos and music that their friends and family are sharing. It offers a unique way to discover and discuss information among friends.

The goal of FriendFeed is to make content on the Web more relevant and useful for you by using your existing social network as a tool for discovering interesting information. You get a customized feed made up of the content that your friends shared — from news articles to family photos to interesting links and videos. And your friends get their customized feeds, full of the cool stuff that you’ve shared.

So far I like the fact you can keep the FriendFeed up-to-date by setting up automatic post from other accounts like Twitter, Tumblr and so many others.  Unlike some social networking sites that make you enter something to take advantage of it FriendFeed allows you to continue the use of your other accounts and it will updated your account from those sites.

Take a look and if you signup be sure to link to me at http://friendfeed.com/admiral70 .

Tom Cruise is the last barman poet, see for yourself.

As an old bartender/bar manger I get all worked up when I watch the movie Cocktail.  Makes me want to get back into the bar business.  It was nothing to do a 12 hour shift at BB’s lounge in the Holiday Inn Chico, CA go home get 3-4 hours of sleep and get back at again.  I have always said that bartending is a great way to make money for college.  That is if your of age to bartend.  Once you become good at bartending you can pretty much right your ticket for where you work.  It’s a hard industry to break into but well worth it if you get in.  To help you a little  be sure to read 73 FREE cocktail recipes bartending schools want you to pay hundreds of dollars to learn.  Once you study up stop by to test your your booze knowledge and see if you learned anything.

As much as I enjoy Cocktail you can’t get this kind of action from the movie.  This is Rodrigo Delpech world-class flair bartender and winner of many awards.

Just could not pass this video up.  I think I busted a gut the first time I saw it.  Sarah Silverman takes her shots at Jimmy Kimmel with the help of Matt Damon.

LOCAL HERO: Tehama County Supervisor George Russell hands a proclamation to Army Spc. Phillip Heil during a recent meeting.

Army Spc. Phillip Heil became a little emotional recently when paying tribute to the veterans who served before him.

“If it weren’t for them serving, I wouldn’t be having the chance to serve,” said Heil, a Proberta native who’s been stationed in Iraq since August.

Heil honored his comrades during a visit home earlier this month as he was recognized by the Tehama County Board of Supervisors.

For Heil, the chance to serve his country overseas was actually the second chapter of his military career. The 42-year-old former truck driver first entered the Army in 1986 and left in 1992.

The former National Guardsman re-enlisted in the military full time in 2006 because he was attracted by the retirement benefits, he said. He had no qualms about ending up in Iraq, he said.

Heil is a vehicle mechanic stationed at LSA Anaconda at the Balad Air Base in northern Iraq. It’s been home to as many as 25,000 troops, and the base serves as a launching point for Air Force missions in support of combat operations into Baghdad, according to the Web site GlobalSecurity.org.

Heil works on his company’s equipment.

“Some days it’s busy, some days it’s slow,” he said.

Anaconda once had the nickname of “Mortaritaville” because of the frequent shelling of the area, but things are rather quiet lately, Heil said.

“It’s improving,” he said of the situation in Iraq. “It’s still going to take time to complete the job.”

Heil said he was flattered to be recognized by county leaders.

“I’m honored for getting the certificate,” he said. “I also look at the job I chose and I enjoy doing it.”
