very cool, i want this to run through my gmail though - joshuabacker via FriendFeed MT Plugin

Nice little app to solve one painful problem - good idea. The problem is that we are soon going to have 100s of little apps to solve our daily problems (I already use 7, 3 of them part of gApps) - it's bound to be time and attention consuming for us. #1 makes good point - e-mail can be a good integration channel for all of those things, as we all use it anyway. - Marcin Grodzicki via FriendFeed MT Plugin

“I think it is funny to read people who are whining about losing Twitter followers. It does NOT matter. Who you follow matters. Not who follows you.”

I'm actually a lot more irked over the people I was following. I went down to 30 and I'm not too happy about that. Now I have to go and find them all over again and add them. Plus, I was following people I had never followed, including spammers. That was annoying. - Candace Holly

That's all kinds of cool.. "Know a man by the company he keeps" for the digital age. - J. Abdul-Qahhar

...said all the people on friendfeed. /snorts ... i didn't realize my list went down, everyone was talking about it, but yeah, about half. I'm about 100 off now - Eric Rice

Yeah I lost both! So I guess I can whine now:) - Barbara Duck via twhirl

People love the attention. - Mathew Ballard

I think that is true even in the general context Robert. Couldn't agree more. - Parth Awasthi

And if they're not whining about followers, they're bashing the FailWhale or complaining that it's down again. People, Twitter is FREE - Mona N.

Well, if you use your account as a promotion tool this is a problem. Loosing who you follow is in my opinion a smaller problem, since you'll probably remember if they were posting anything of importance. - Marcin Grodzicki

Boy I feel so much better now that I took the time to whine:) - Barbara Duck via twhirl

I think it's not only missing followers but also a matter of us having a new unexpected glitch in Twitter - and that after many of us spend quite a lot of time building our communities here and claiming we are not leaving because all the people we want to talk to are here. (Posted my thoughts at http://www.profy.com/2008/07/2... actually.) - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl

Robert, I don't think you're right. Following is the bigger part of the game, but it's a lot easier to engage in the conversation when there are people listening, too. - Dan Kaplan

I had all mine saved in my Attensa RSS Feeds so all those folks will probably get another notice that I am following them again, a Twitter stalker:) - Barbara Duck via twhirl

I like what you were trying to say, and to be honest I don't care how it is on Twitter, but at least on FF we are all part of the conversation, regardless of subscriber or subscribee. That is what makes FF such a great idea. You yourself have carried on the conversation with other subscribers in the comments innumerable times, for which you should be commended. - Aaron Krug

Svetlana: You are so right - the issue of 'Twitter being first to the market' was probably just solved :) I bet competition is really happy. - Marcin Grodzicki

Twitter needs a back up system we can save a re-load, a simple OPML would be just grand if it could work and upload for when things like this happen. - Barbara Duck via twhirl

There's always the competition Identi.ca, but nobody's over there - Barbara Duck via twhirl

Yes, Robert, it's shouldn't be a popularity contest about followers. But the people that use twitter for some actual networking, would be annoyed by losing track of some of the contacts they've made in the last few weeks because of this event. Both following and followers that were added in recent weeks are missing. - Louie

Dan: if you follow the right people you will get smarter and will have interesting things to say yourself and THAT WILL bring followers. Plus, smart people look at their responses tab so if you are conversational you will always have someone listening. - Robert Scoble

Checkpoints, rollbacks, audit trails, transaction logs, backups, restores - Database 101 for the Twitter guys. I'm glad the FriendFeed team has Google experience. :-) - Mitchell Tsai

Bingo! - Jonathon

Rob, that's true, except it's a GLITCH in Twitter that's making people lose followers and people that they follow. That's what the whining's from. - Dave Moyer

Robert - People new to blogging etc. want (need?) to be followed on any platform they can. You can learn from the people you follow. You (if it's what you want) promote and engage by the people following you .... but heck, Mona's right (again??). It is free :) - Charlie Anzman

If it's 'actual' networking, shouldn't contact information be exchanged? And Twitter is FREE. Everyone knows it's still unstable at times. (read: FailWhale hoopla) Why rely solely on Twitter? BAFFLING - Mona N.

That is the main problem, Robert, is that Twitter has now put a cap on number of people many of us can follow. When I got to about 2554 that I was following, I abruptly got a message saying I cannot follow any more people, including following back anyone who has added me since a few days ago. Therefore, I am no longer able to follow people I just met or send direct messages to them. I care more about that than how many people are following me. - Cathryn Hrudicka

Cathryn: oh, I didn't know about that. Interesting. That sucks. I hate caps on numbers of friends. - Robert Scoble

Robert it depends on whether you are using twitter as an informational or social tool, no? If the latter, losing followers is much more significant. - jeremy ettinghausen

jeremy: you mean conversational or marketing tool. I wonder if any real followers went away anyway? - Robert Scoble

Yes, actually, I got a "sorry, you've reached your quota of followers" a few days before Twitter cut any of the people following me. Both happened without any prior warning. If they were cutting only spammers, that would be one thing, but they abruptly cut about 1000 followers that included friends and colleagues. I'm intermittently still getting the "quota" message when I try to follow anyone new or re-follow someone they cut without my permission. Hope they get this sorted out and get rid of quotas ASAP. - Cathryn Hrudicka

Mona, if you went out to events, you would see that exchanging twitter IDs is the de facto method of exchanging "contact information" for many people in the SV. Business cards get lost and it's an instant confirmation when both parties follow each other on twitter, on the spot. If people's gmail accounts suddenly lost a month's worth of activity, would it be okay just because it's free as well? - Louie

do we know if they'll restore the friends and followers to a more recent db/backup copy? - Christian Anderson

I like Louie's point about " Business cards get lost", but I routinely photograph 'em with my phone and then sync to Evernote. Gives me a local and Web-based copy. And the paper version goes into my Moleskine. - Dean Barnett

Louie: that is the EXACT reason why I do not participate in Tweet-ups or whatever they're called. My communication method is solely not dependent on Twitter and I personally do not want my Tweets to be a on parade of location blasting and broadcasting to the world, I HAVE A LIFE - Mona N.

Umm, you're missing the point. If I've lost followers, it's safe to say that I've lost some of the people I follow. So now I have to go back and find out which ones. - Ian Betteridge

its not the people that follow me it was people that i follow that was bothering me but ok now..at least for me - Uway

Ian: I was addressing Louie's comment to me.... but to address the point I'm missing, it's no secret the Failwhale ate followers and followees. There's a great blog post about how to auto-follow people who subscribe to you. http://bit.ly/38hPFS I mean what's done is done and complaining is not really going to solve anything. just saying - Mona N.

i follow my intuition.. dont have a list - Gregory Lent

Hm, interesting perspective, Robert. But aren''t your followers part of your outreach? The people you influence? The peeps who *want* to hear from you? - Mari Smith

that sounds counter-intuitive; Robert, please explain - Mindaugas Dagys

You NEED people to follow you otherwise if you post stuff no one will respond - Cecil Sandus

In the case of friendfeed, if someone follows you, then other people that are subscribed directly to that someone will see your posts. Makes it more valuable. I wasn't following you Scoble, until i started reading your posts through Leo Laporte (I was subscribe to him, not you, yet i was able to see your posts because he was subscribed to you). Does that make sense? - Justin

Mindaugus: yes. I'm trying to give you an insight. Let's say followers ARE important (if you read between the lines of my writing I do find them important for many of the reasons listed here above). Well, how do you get great followers? Well, I've learned that if I listen to jerks, I become a jerk myself. If I listen to brilliant people, I become more brilliant. If I listen to romantics, I'll become more romantic. If I listen to artists, I'll become more artistic. Since I want to have conversations with... - Robert Scoble

...smart people, isn't it more important for me to worry about subscribing to smart people than worrying about who follows me? After all, if I respond to a smart person, they'll see that response in their responses tab in Twitter (or under their clusters here in FriendFeed). If they find me interesting enough they'll also follow me. So, by worrying only about who I'm following, I'll probably gain the kinds of followers I want (add in a few blocks here and there to get jerks out of my life). - Robert Scoble

The problem with all of this is Twitter is really screwed up. I thought it was just messing up the counts. A few months back it screwed up the counts for people who had 10s of thousands of following and followed. It sounds like this time they rolled back the database and actually lost data. And people wonder why I've moved most of my life over to FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble

Yes your totally right... - JegerPhil - Phil via twhirl

twitter's continual mis-management of their product which is now resulting in corrupt data of my Following / Follower "count" is extremely troubling. twitter has shot itself in the proverbial foot! They've destroyed credibility and trust in their product and their making themselves appear like total dim-whits! I care about both stats because I use it as a 2 way conversational tool with my network, which has been compromised. - Susan Beebe

July 17 at 6:23 am - Link

That's a question every startup should ask (before it starts): What is my business about? Help ('real' utility) or entertainment. The answer more and more defines business model. You can charge users for help, but can you (really) charge them for entertainment? They are going to expect more to be free. If music is expected to be free (last.fm, P2P) soon film will follow (Hulu) and other, currently considered must-pay-for timekillers. The biggest mistake is to think that you are in one group while having business model for the other. Exceptions do exits, I'm aware of that. - Marcin Grodzicki via FriendFeed MT Plugin

Good post... I agree with l0ckergn0me: it's about scope and awesomeness. Either of those gets large and the ability to adequately engage and speak to a community diminishes. - Clay Newton

Charlie, here's one sentence. A community manager is someone who communicates with a company's users/customers, development team and executives and other stake holders in order to amplify the work of all parties. Second sentence, just in case you'd like it: They probably provide customer service, highlight best use-cases of a product, make first contact in some potential business partnerships and increase the public visibility of the company they work for.

Great article! - Dmitry Paranyushkin via FriendFeed MT Plugin

My 2 cents: At the very beginning, when the startup consists only of founders you can select CM out of them. If you don't have a person that can pull it (meaning someone with marketing, PR, BDM skills) your startup is going to be in trouble anyway - it means you have just engineers on the team. Another issue: CM is not a PR2.0, it's CRM 2.0 - back in the days CRM was about getting input from one customer, processing it and giving output. Now, as customers sort of manage themselves in a group (thus forming communities) you have to manage community, not single customers. And as business and products are becoming more interactive (towards customers) it's a Read/Write relationship - customers are changing businesses (by proposing features, blocking canceling of some, criticizing and praising). - Marcin Grodzicki via FriendFeed MT Plugin

#53, and how exactly would you make profit without customers? - Marcin Grodzicki via FriendFeed MT Plugin

Marshall, thanks for thinking I was useful enough to quote. It turned into great article and well informative. How informative? Well, we just got a part-time Community Manager and the first thing I did was have him read this article, the comments, the Digg comments, and go from there. :) In our case, as a marketplace for video games, systems, and accessories - the community is more than just a userbase - and more than just content producers - they're the actors in our market. We only make money when our community is active - not just registered and checking in once a month. One of the things that would be good as a follow up is a discussion of what tools CM's should use - and which ones take more time than are worth it. Spamming invites to the Facebook and MySpace pages or engaging on Twitter? Blogging on the corporate site or leaving comments on others'? That would be something I'd love to hear, now that we've established that CM is a key part of any startup's strategy. - Sachin Agarwal via FriendFeed MT Plugin

Sachin, that's awesome! - Marshall Kirkpatrick

For me this new job description signals two important developments: first, the increasing confluence of PR and marketing; second, the end of thinking of the consumer as standing behind a huge wall that is only semi-permeable with (unidirectional) tools like market research (that's the way Rob Kozinets put it and I like this metaphor very much). So I would add that Community Managers could also develop an interesting relationship to market research. What they are (or rather could be) doing is to some extent ethnographical field research. Unfortunately in Germany Community Manager is all too often misunderstood to be the guy that manages the company's support forum and deletes the spam there. - Benedikt Koehler

I've settled on "Network Facilitator", but noticed the need back when I was heavily involved in NZ MovieFest - if a community is fostered, it flourishes into something is not only worth money, but worthwhile. Of recent times, I'm seeing more and more community managers - and not just for start-ups, but for larger companies as well. Bring back community, eh? - Jo Booth

Re: louisgray.com: To Blog, or Not to Blog - That is the Question

July 17 at 2:34 am - Link

"I got into blogging because I wanted to promote a startup I am building. It proved to be a lot more addictive than I thought it could be. Unfortunately for me the addiction means consuming a lot more content than I (probably) need. But my point lies elsewhere: blogging matures, no doubt about it. The advertising money is here, side ventures emerge (conferences etc.), PR folks hitting you, disclosures of conflicts of interest - who heard about those in the early days? As blogging matures, formerly great blogs now turned blog networks work like regular magazines: posting frequently, with not much care for content and hardly any comment conversation. PageView binds them all. This is why new blogs emerge. This is why people read Louis, and why they always look for independent interesting people (Louis, if your head is getting to big, I have a 4kg frying pan ready to meet it). It's sad to admit, but money kind of ruins it all - whenever blogger starts treating blogging like a job to live..." - Marcin Grodzicki

Comment on: Can Browser Add-ons Be Businesses?

July 9 at 4:09 am - via FriendFeed MT Plugin - Link

Alex, I have to disagree. You can't compare browser add-ons, Facebook and 37Signals products, because they aim at different user groups (and uses). Facebook is all about advertising, because it basically is an entertainment platform. With advertising you have to be on top (like the big Media companies) to scale your business, and achieve substantial revenue. With products like 37S, or even Flickr you are providing a solution to a problem, which is why people agree to pay for it. And there are many companies like that, you just don't hear about them because they are typical small businesses, rather than big flips. The problem with monetizing add-ons in this way is the barrier of entry - most add-ons are really simple, so you'll always get a free version of anything you can buy (power of the opensource community). The data aggregation can be a business model for add-ons, only if people actually get something from this data (like book suggestions on amazon) - otherwise, they'll always be pissed about being watc - Marcin Grodzicki via FriendFeed MT Plugin

This really does seem like they've come full circle - back in the day the reason we went to ASK JEEVES was because we had specific inquiries in the form of a question, such as "when was George Washington born" - the inquiry was posed in question boxes, and the answers came back in similarly projected forms.
