Using FriendFeed to create a private online digital archive.

Posted by : Mike Fruchter

With the birth of my daughter Kaylee just 2 weeks ago, this problem surfaced, how do I archive all of her pictures, videos and twitter posts? The two ideas I had were, put all this content online via a cms system such as drupal, or just use a newly created gmail account for picture storage and her journal notes. Friendfeed is perfect for such this task, after all it is a content aggregator. The main factor for me is the ability to keep the feed private. You choose what friends or family members can see in the archive.

Let’s get started

  1. Go to friendfeed.com and register a new account.
  2. Uncheck the box “Make my feed public”
  3. Once logged in to friendfeed, select “Share something
  4. Add the appropriate services to your feed.

That’s it. You now have a digital private online archive.
