Adam from mashable wrote to me few minutes ago informing that he finding it difficult to setup his FriendFeed account on moblf.

I have listed below detailed steps to setup Friendfeed on moblf, they are little too detailed just to ensure you can setup it without trouble.

Please follow them and you should be fine, i am available on IM nandini.hirianniah@gmail.com for any further help.

Instructions

1. Confirm if your phone is setup to use twitter over SMS Text Messaging. If not please goto your account on www.twitter.com, click on “add device”, add your phone number and verify with the code as mentioned on the add device page

2. Once your account is setup make sure on that the device updates are turned on (this is also on add device page)

3. Test twitter connectivity on phone

a. Send command “help” to twitter shortcode “40404″

b. You should receive a reply form twitter with the following contents

“Reply with what you’re doing.
‘invite’ to invite a friend.
‘follow’ to receive updates.
‘track’ to track interests.
‘whois’ for info.
‘off’ to silence.”

4. Now that your twitter account is tested on phone, send command “follow moblf” to 40404 (or send the same command on your desktop twitter client: gtalk or twirl). You will receive a reply from twitter with following contents:

“You’ll receive a message every time moblf updates. To silence, send ‘off moblf’. For more commands, send ‘help’.”

5. Now time to set up the ff account, you will need two things

a. Friendfeed username

b. FriendFeed remote key: It can be found here: https://friendfeed.com/account/api

6. Send command “d moblf ffstart friendfeedusername,yourremotekey” to 40404 (or send the same command on your desktop twitter client: gtalk or twirl)

7. You will receive a confirmation back from moblf

8. Now you are all set to start getting your friendfeed updates on your phone via SMS or on your IM/twitter client

9. First to test send “d moblf ffhelp” to 40404 (or send the same command on your desktop twitter client: gtalk or twirl).

10. You will receive help contents from moblf

11. Now send “d moblf ffget” to 40404 (or send the same command on your desktop twitter client: gtalk or twirl).
