“If I were a new FriendFeed user, and I were automatically signed up to the noisiest people, w/all their sites, I'd be dead. There should be a "FriendFeed Lite" for first-timers that shows only blogs, Flickr and the basics, and then you try "Medium" and "Firehose". Don't scare away the newbies.”

They should join the same way my dad says he was taught to swim. Just jump in, if you make it, YAY; if you don't... ;) - Harvey Simmons

I've been here for a few weeks and would have freaked out if I signed up to the intense users. I feel like I'm slowly getting the hang of it, adding people a little at a time, and participating more and more... - Corie Allison

Don't scare the newbies! scare the devs! MORE API! repeat after me: MORE API ! :) - directeur via NoiseRiver

A newbie coming to FF will have their lists populated by their friends, first and foremost. That kind of goes to the point of the name, I think. There's no reason they WOULD sign up for the noisiest people. - Alexander Williams via NoiseRiver

I'm only here for the Twitter. - Cyndy

That's not true at all. I came here because of one person who told me about it. Other than that, I knew no one and couldn't get any friends to join. - Corie Allison

I'll be franck: I'm building in my small and humble sorcerer's lab a smarter "recommended page" that when optimized will be the cure for noise! Hear me Scobleizer? :) - directeur via NoiseRiver

agree with Louis, I guess for many there must be too much noise, so that they can't even think of a thing to say themselves - Peter Efland

I signed up for a lot of noisemakers because i didn't have any friends who would join. I still hide a lot, a LOT. But I do think that the recommended page should be geared towards a variety of interests other than 'how to write a blog' and 'twitter wahhh' and 'iphone blahblah.' Rooms need exposure and love. - sergiooo (droffset)

They also need an automatically scrolling version to make it look like something REALLY important is happening in real time. - Mike Seidle

@Peter Efland (phefland): I dunno, there seems to be quite a lot of folks saying quite a lot all the time. They just have their own insular environments / friend nets which yours (and mine, likely) don't necessarily intersect. Beyond that, as I've said elsewhere, if you own a theatre why does everyone have to be an actor all the time? An audience is not just good, it's necessary. - Alexander Williams via NoiseRiver

@sergiooo: I like the " 'how to write a blog' and 'twitter wahhh' and 'iphone blahblah.' " :-) More of that coming soon. - Louis Gray

Deep dive or nothing - Dave Martin

Good suggestion. I am on firehose setting for now... but I am here INSTEAD of Twitter. :-) - David Muir

@alexander williams: True - good comment - Peter Efland

@Alexander Williams (squidlord): Totally agree! very wise! - directeur via NoiseRiver

Why not give newbies the opportunity to view a short intro-to-FF clip, perhaps narrated by LG, showing them the basics. Things like how to follow/stop following people, the hide feature, etc. Having a basic understanding of how to use the service and being signed up with one or two noisier, not the noisiest, people seems reasonable. - Dan Boggs

Louis, shock therapy worked wonrders for me. If I hadstarted with the light version, I would not be so psyched about it. - Rodrigo Leme via twhirl

@Luis Gray :) I'm not saying those feeders shouldn't be recommended, just that there is a whole world outside of the few topics that are so well represented, and if the goal is some sort of mainstream acceptance a bit of diversity deserves the same opportunity. - sergiooo (droffset)

LOL...good one. I started using FF a few weeks ago and find myself spending alot more time reading, commenting and looking around than on Twitter. Much more interactive and engaging. - Geoff Peterson

I had mentioned in another post that it would be great if you could individually select the portions of one's feeds to have piped in. That way you could open up the fire hose and skip what you have not interest in (i.e. last.fm posts, etc). - JA Castillo

I thought FF was a cult =( - Mona N

I need FF Lite some days, too. LOL - Sarah Perez

Got outa control myself and made a mess ... Finally back. This is Louis right ?? :) - Charlie Anzman

Sink or swim - Tad Donaghe

FF lite: Putting friends on a diet. LOL - LPH

I quickly put together that Scoble and Laporte = Noise, so I discovered the Hide feature. Then I closed off the Friend of a Friend bit. Bam! It was readable again. Now I just follow too many interesting people to keep track of everything. I get about 11 pages worth a day. - xero

yes, it would be easy to say 'What are you interested in' on sign up. From there filter specific services and... oh yah, KEYWORDS! - Tim Hoeck via NoiseRiver

FF lite: subscribe to just the a-listers. :O - Hao Chen

i cannot follow anybody, that would leave no time for following the flow ..... - gregory lent

Interesting idea on FriendFeed Lite, they would have to subscribe to a lot of people to be overwhelmed though right? - Joe Dawson

I'm a newbie and I'm already overwhelmed! All it takes is adding two crazy FF'ers and joining two active groups. - Judy L. Lin

Along those lines I'd like to control which users I promote from my profile too. See this http://friendfeed.com/e/f27543... - Mark Krynsky

Perhaps FF should have an equivalent of Twitter Packs (http://twitterpacks.pbwiki.com...) that could be offered to newbies. - Andy Murdoch

An easy and non-obtrusive way to implement would be a simple checkbox on reg path that says "Start out with just blogs, flickr, etc... You can add more services to your FF anytime!" And new users must opt-in for that "light" service - Eric Berlin

lmao - that's actually a great idea - Marco

Nah...throw them in the deep end and see how well they swim - Live4Soccer

But that's the whole point of FF isn't it? To swim and survive in the sea of "noise".. - Winston Teo

took me about a week or so to fine tune my likes with others after adding to my feed without interaction. at first it can be a bit overwhelming, especially with the nonsense about "a-listers" and this and that, but you find your niche no matter what - Cee Bee

"too many labels" "I am an Independent" ...awesome... Political "non-opinions. Be sure to download the "I voted" sticker...OMG - Susan Beebe

*hiding* - Marco

lol@Marco no worries :) - Shey

the problem is that most noisy active people are not in the middle. The so-called middle are mostly disinterested and disengaged. This is one of the reasons politics appears to "suck." Also, I don't subscribe to Scott's apparent conspiracy theories. There's nothing stopping issue moderates from getting involved, it's just that American Idol and/or the mall is too appealing. We get the democracy we deserve. - Anthony Citrano

I semi-agree with Anthony. I'm more in the middle though I am affiliated with a specific party. I just don't see the reason for me to get loud about politics or, get involved in big discussions. I vote, my voice is heard and that's what I care about. - Candace Holly

Candace the problem with the vote-but-not-get-involved-elsewise model is that 99% of your potential influence as a citizen is lost. - Anthony Citrano

I think Anthony has a point -- but it probably has something to do with the fact that there isn't a political presentation of moderates, in Canada anyway. - Shey

Nothing, and I mean nothing, ever gets done by "the middle". The middle is the place where innovation and progress goes to die. - Jeff Jones

Although, those in the "middle" are the most sought after in the general election! They are the so-called "undecided", so if you're feeling frustrated with the system, I say proclaim your undecidedness and open your doors, publish your phone number, and welcome in the persuasion! - Brian Ries

@Anthony - I do get involved in other ways. I just don't see the point of blogging, writing, getting on TV or creating media about it. Which is why very few people would know if I'm involved or not. As far as my "middle" stance..I'll right out say I'm a Republican. However, I'm not going to vote for a candidate based on their party affiliation. I'm going to vote based on the fact they are a good candidate and, they support the same views I do. - Candace Holly

I hear you, Candace. Good thoughts... and honestly, my Republican friends have the most to be pissed about in this regard. Your party has been hijacked by a few dozen people who are not - by any means - "big tent" centrists. - Anthony Citrano

@Anthony and others have hit it right on the head. I don't expect evryone to agree with me but the fact of the matter is that elected officials know that its the voters who hold the power. Problem is the vast majority of voters tune out (which some would argue ='s being ok enough with the status quo to not feel the need to act) leaving the most passionate, vocal and active (usually more extreme viewpoints by nature) to provide electeds with any kind of meaningful feedback.A vicious cycle to be sure. - Marco

@Anthony - I've often been called a "liberal Republican" and I suppose that's correct in some cases. Politics definitely is not something I get very into. I can say that I've seen people make me cringe on both sides of the fence. hehe - Candace Holly

Whichever candidate you vote for, you get more of the same, money sucking BIG government... so yeah it sucks.... YOUR money, most of which is wasted by excessive bureaucracry and sheer inefficiency let alone the politics of what it's supposed to be spent on. - Ian May via twhirl

i'm socially liberal and fiscally conservative, and i find lots of like minded people. have a hard time liking either party in total. - Ranjit Mathoda

@Ranjit Tell me where I can find these people! :) - Shey

No original thinking. If you aren't aligned with party politics then you are ostracized and looking for another group to support you. Its assimilate or die. No motivation to do otherwise. - Adam Helweh

This election is going to be like the last one.... choosing the lesser of two evils =\ - Mona N

I do. Proudly. - Aaron Brazell

@Ian Isn't that the truth? I still have a chuckle when I see people go nuts over political candidates. You have to EXPECT they are going to screw you in some way at some point. - Shey

On Friendfeed! No, actually, fiscally conservative doesn't really describe me, because I'm conservative on some fiscal issues and liberal on others. I don't see the world through black and white lenses. - Jason Wehmhoener

For some reason, I have this image in my head: a rope, with most everybody sitting in the middle, and the radical right and the liberal left pulling hard on each end. I guess that makes us centrists the mud puddle. - J. Phil

lol@Mona I'm glad I'm not American! - Shey

Neither am I LOL! - Mona N

I'm not personally interested in someone who represents the middle... I want someone brave enough to be all over the map. - Roger Benningfield

The thing was, I read up on Obama during the primaries and I was all about Hillary after learning more.. but with all the political hoop-lah and rhetoric, it was unfortunate that Hillary supporters were automatically labeled "feminists" or "Clinton fanboys" Now the issues are coming to light but um, it's a little too late, no? - Mona N
