Code, the Universe and Everything.

Next week is Agile 2008. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to go. But a couple of people I know are going. So, in order not to miss too much of the fun, I will be monitoring the Agile 2008 FriendFeed room.

I have to admit, I’m becoming a FriendFeed addict. I find myself using the service a lot and I’m curious to see how it will evolve. What I find most interesting on FriendFeed is the concept of rooms they have there. At work, we started using a private room of our own, where we post ideas, share little snippets, etc… Some of my team members were already using delicious, where we agreed on a common tag that is only used by our team, and that works. But having the ability to comment, like, etc on the things you share, gives IMHO a much richer experience. Using FriendFeeds imaginary friends, we actually “source in” the stuff we tag on delicious into our private room for work. The only gotcha there is to not use the delicious sharing feature of FriendFeed, but rather the “blog” feature of FriendFeed, and set it up so that it reads the rss feed from your specific tag.

So, to come back to the original topic of this post, I am very excited to see whether enough people will join and participate on the the Agile 2008 FriendFeed room room, and that it will give me, someone who is not participating in agile 2008, enough information so that I at least get a serious idea of what I am missing.

**edit** If you happen to know existing agile 2008 related forums, mailing lists, groups, etc, please let me know about them, or better, spread the word about this FriendFeed group.
