I’m very excited about it and have already published a couple of posts, but am still in my probation period. The first one is 9 Steps To A Great Start In Friendfeed. I’ve written it as a small starters guide. Especially for people who are already using twitter or other social networks. To start with friendfeed you don’t need to use any other social networks though. You can use it as a stand-alone website or as a hub for all of your networks. It’s been in quite a stir the last couple of days because they announced this week that they are bought by Facebook. It are very interesting times for Friendfeed. It can only mean good to Facebook when they receive the resources, infrastructure, but especially the team behind Friendfeed, but it’s not clear what will happen to Friendfeed.com and it’s community.

As for writing for MakeUseOf, this is my personal blog and I will of course keep writing pieces for it. I think I will be writing a bit more personal, opinion pieces for it, because MakeUseOf is more for useful howto and explanatory posts. I can’t crossposts my posts, but will update this blog when I have written a piece for MakeUseOf. You can find my pieces here.
