FriendFeed – update news from your friends

Blog readers have possibly a long list for their favourite blogs. They have more than twenty blogs. They go to those blogs to find anything is new. This action waste their time. Now people can use this method, RSS Aggregator, such as Google Reader. People can add feed url from each blog, and then, they can use RSS Aggregator to read any new article from blogs as same as checking E-mail. Nowadays, everyone does not only have two or three E-mails, Blogs, and Web Albums, Twitter, etc. A lot of web services are around people’s life. But some services do not support RSS feed service. FriendFeed, this website service launch for users can get any news about their friends.

 

FriendFeed combines majority website services, such as Google Reader, Blog Feed, Flickr, Twitter, etc. Users sign up this website and set their owned services on this website step by step. Every user has particular web url likes mine: http://friendfeed.com/jameshsu. If user’s friends also have this service, user can add them easily.

Make Your Owned Web 2.0 Resume

The New York Times provided a post, The Web 2.0 Résumé. Recently, most people think that Web 2.0 Résumé is Video Résumé. But in that post, it does not talk about Video Résumé, it is about real social media resume. It means that someone set up a website, he put everything into this website, such as posts he wrote, posts he Digged, something from his Twitter.

 

In this post, a sentence is very impressing me. That is young people cannot clear their work in the Web 2.0. It means if your future boss wants, he can use Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to try to find any information about you. So is the Web 2.0 resume good for seeking employment? People want to hide their actions more than put in the resume.

 

This kind of resume is useful and helpful for applying a job.

 

We can see some example about Web 2.0 Resume.

 

First example is Christ Penn’s Resume. He used Google Page to make his social media resume. This is very simple webpage. In the left side, you can see some work he did.

 

Next example is Rohit Bhargava’s Resume. In the bottom, we can see his del.icio.us tags. He wants to show which kind of tags he is interesting in.

 

See the examples given above. They are not real employment seekers. They just show how can make Web 2.0 Resume. If you want, make a Web 2.0 resume by yourself.
