    wow, great post Jesse. Really learned a few things here. And funny enough I stumbled over your post as I was playing around with filters over at Friendfeed. Definitely gonna get the email function for my ego-feed.
  • Jesse Stay · 7 months ago
    Peter yeah, the e-mail notifications can really save you some time,
    especially on an ego-feed.

    Thanks, Jesse, for the excellent post; very useful tips on using Gmail to manage information overload. I gave up using Outlook a year ago and completely live on Gmail... And now, thanks to you, I'm finally on Backtype.

    http://mail.google.com/mail/#search/is%3Amuted is also a good way to see your muted emails. Hitting "m" again doesn't unmute for me. I have to move it to the inbox to unmute things.
  • Jesse Stay · 7 months ago
    Interesting Benjamin - for some reason I thought hitting "m" unmuted it.
    Thanks for the clarification.

    I am finding even with my problems that many of us are still connecting our data streams to communication points (IM, email) outside of the web browser, I am using email for my Friendfeed groups, it is quite useful to be out and about on my iPhone and have messages come through on email, which I can take immediate action on, perhaps look at investigating the story or company for a blog post, so in that respect I think it is AMAZING!

    are yo aware/ are you using http://TwitterGaget.com in Gmail? ...it's a very good way to read Twitter right in Gmail ... http://friendfeed.com/petrbuben
  • Jesse Stay · 6 months ago
    Petr, yes, I use that alongside Gmail, but for the most part just hitting
    the "reply" in TweetBeep and using Twitter's native UI suffices.

    Thanks for useful tips n looking forward to more tips about backtype.

    For gmail tip, i found it's not possible to reply or share what i want to twitter, right?
    For backtype, it seems saved search is to search all news, but no filter function like search only from friendfeed friends.

    Very cool! Have to try this way of keeping up-to-date with Friendfeed.

    I really like this approach! I'm a little worried about further increasing the amount of mail I receive, but could you show us what this looks like with some screenshots?
