I think that will be my nickname for Ruffini from now on. Beneath that friendly demeanor lies the heart of a Blackberry Bandit. I totally forgot about his doing this back in February. Very funny.

It is Patrick Ruffini

He wrote about it on Feb. 24th has just used it to pull
in all of Obama's feeds (so far). He tried to do the same
for the McCain feed, but it hasn't updated in ages.

Is Barack Obama Following Your Friendfeed? [UPDATED]

Is Barack Obama actually using the social media tracking tool FriendFeed to follow tech gurus Andrew McLaughlin, Chris Messina, Chris Pirillo, Dave Winer, Dave Sifry (how'd he slip in there?), Fred Wilson, Jason Calacanis, Jeff Jarvis, Michael Arrington, Loic le Meur, Robert Scoble, Marshall Kirkpatrick, Steve Rubel, and Susan Mernit along with lowly tech-politics bloggers like Patrick Ruffini, Luigi Montanez, Josh Levy and yours truly?
