Hey cool, Phil. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Kolin: u can add the FF widget as well to the side bar ,just go to the profile and post the (instead of javascript choose image) over here http://friendfeed.com/embed... you can see it at my posterous http://loopper.posterous.com/ I got this tip from http://friendfeed.com/svartli... - Johni Fisher

How do I embed my FF stream on Posterous? - phil baumann

I've embedded this thread on a Posterous entry: http://e-lusion.posterous.com/what-is... :-) - Kol Tregaskes

@phil couldn't you do the embed feature... ? post something to posterous.. and then 'edit' the post and paste the embed? Or maybe simply email it? - Sean

my posterous: http://mystrongmedicine.posterous.com - Sean

Phil, click on the 'Share' link of the FF entry, then copy the embed code. Create a new Posterous entry, select HTML mode and paste in the embed code. You'll need to edit the width and height (looks like 500 for width). Then post. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

@ Phil Kol beat me to the explanation - Sean

Kol I made the same :-)) - Johni Fisher

Kol - thanks. - phil baumann

http://revrev.posterous.com but I rarely use it. - mike fabio

Use 100% as the embed with instead. Looks a lot nicer. - Svartling from email

Does that work with both the embeds and widgets? - Kol Tregaskes

Only with embeds. It's too bad we can't email these friendfeed embeds directly to Posterous. They get garbled. I've tried. - Svartling

My Posterous profile: http://posterous.com/people... - Svartling

Svartling, shame we can't do that with the widgets, it looks untidy on our profile pages. Yep emailing would be cool. - Kol Tregaskes

http://scanman.posterous.com/ - Vijay

Maybe some of the Posterous developers see this and could add that feature? Please :) - Svartling

Don't forget to tag your posts like this ((tag: posterous, friendfeed)) in the subject line of your emails. That way your posts will be seen easier by all other Posterous users when they use the global posterous search. - Svartling

http://mylescrew.posterous.com/ Right now I'm just testing, the import from Blogger was REALLY easy. I'm trying to "port" BlurbBits (http://ff.im/4tlY2) to make them work better on posterous. The iframe style parameter gets removed, which is different than Blogger (there is *always* something). - Chris Myles

Amani: If you set up autopost, they will appear. Here's the link: http://posterous.com/autopost - Nick in Manila

http://nicknich3.posterous.com/ - Nick in Manila

Amani, the little images for twitter etc you get if you autopost to those sites but you might end up with duplicate posts that way. There is a friendfeed badge you can put in your posterous profile at http://friendfeed.com/embed... use the image format, not javascript. - David Gross from email

@koltregaskes, my posterous is at http://alexschleber.posterous.com "Quick Hits Business Mindhacks". Had been using it quite a bit the first 6 months of this year. I'm a big fan of Garry & Sachin, but really wish posterous would hurry up with some of the much needed feature upgrades (skins and/or CSS, Retweet button - just use Tweetmeme, custom sidebar HTML, WYSIWIG bookmarklet, etc.) Seems like they're stalling a bit right now, no? - Alex Schleber

They have to be careful not to mess with the simplicity of it, though; that's why so many people like it. If they tart it all up, it might as well just be Tumblr. Which already exists. - NNR from email

I've tried a couple today and the images don't come in and the imported text is messy. Works just fine in Google Buzz so if I could work out while my import is messy in FF then it would be a viable option for posting a few articles to both FF and Buzz in one click. - Kol Tregaskes

ubertwitter... new version 0.78 was just released, lots of bug fixes. still pretty heavy drain on battery if you choose frequent updates, but that's not specific to ubertwitter i don't think. i used twitterberry for a while, i'd give it a grade of "meh." ubertwitter is awesome though. - Bryan Zirkel

I've been using TweetGenius for the past couple of weeks and like it a lot. - James Poling

i use ubertwitter, cause tweet genius still isn't available for the storm. - Dan

ubertwitter - Arjan Writes

UberTwitter and the current Twitterberry beta. I prefer UberTwitter. - Jeff Harbert

I use both Twitterberry and Ubertwitter. Need one that EASILY allows for 2 twitter IDs. - Tim Davis

UberTwitter is a great app, lots of functionality. I just started using Snaptu. It's a suite of apps and the twitter module is great bc it allows you to have different groups. And it is a super fast program. I tried Tweet Genius, and love the UI but it's a little slow. - LizMoney

Tweet 1.0.8 on the Javelin... - Robert Scott

I was using Twitterberry until UberTwitter came into my life. Very happy with UberTwitter! - Adam

TweetGenius on 8900. I tried UberTwitter and wasn't that impressed. The UI seemed really unimpressive. Are most people using it on the Storm though? - James Poling

I use Twitterberry on my Storm 9530.. - Craig Arthur

Ubertwitter. More toys than Twitterberry. - Andy Jacobson

Ubertwitter here too. - Gunnybear ™

Ubertwitter, better than Twitterberry - Javier Valiño

Waiting to get my SocialScope invite. Till then, very happy with UberTwitter. - Andy Jacobson

Waiting on my SocialScope invite, as well. haha I've been using UberTwitter for while and although it's the best, I've grown bored with it. I'm now using Viigo. Just installed it the other day. I had problems with it at first, but now that the kinks are all ironed out, it's pretty cool. - Shelly

Yeah, UberTwitter seems best until we get to test SocialScope. BTW, SS is developed by the bit.ley folks. - Andy Jacobson

übertwitter. I bet brüno uses it too. - Eugene Huo

Ubertwitter on the Storm. - Sean Brady

After some great advice from peeps in this room, I've moved to Ubertwitter on the Storm. - Mark Edwards

Ubertwitter, but don't use the photo upload in the app. TwitPic is much, much faster. - Irene Koehler

Just curious if anyone has tried TweetCaster from Handmark yet. It's a new client for the BB. It's free. It's pretty. It's slow on my Curve 8320. I can usually only see 2 tweets per screen tops (which is pretty annoying). It's got a ton of cool features like Trending Topics, Nearby tweets, Search, etc. I'll play with it for a few more days before deciding whether to keep it or not. UberTwitter is not nearly as pretty but I can get so much more info on the screen. - Bryan Zirkel

I forgot, it also supports multiple Twitter accounts which is pretty fancy pants. http://www.handmark.com/company... - Bryan Zirkel

Thanks to Vaughhn (@vrsj) for letting me know about these apps for blackberry! Just installed ubertwitter - look fwd to checking out its functionality - seems MUCH more than twitterberry> - Vickie Smith

I have about ten folders with broad categories and one for fast news which is the one that gets old quickly, the others can wait and I don't mind if they accumulate articles. - M F

Group everything like you have done. I then have a folder with just the 5 or so feeds I read daily. The search function means you can be quite broad with your categories. Like M F above says really. - Toby Graham

I don't need to organize my feeds: I subscribe only to must-read full-text feeds, I toggle full screen mode (u), I read quickly by hitting j/k, I star articles that deserve further reading (s), I share (shift+s) or email (e). So far it's a perfect process for me. I don't bookmark & label Friendfeed entries, why should I do so in Reader? (I actually put my feed in broad categories when subscribing, but it's only for stats) - Jérôme

I didn't know about full-screen-mode. Thanks for the tip Jérôme. - Fred Yankowski

I see.. So, the first thing I need to do, is delete most of the feeds that I don't usually read.. - Leandro Ardissone ⍨

My categories are: crafts, friends (actual blogs of RL friends), entertainment, lost (tv show), tech, web - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart from BuddyFeed

Alt+F4, then open Friendfeed. It's what I did. - Josh Haley

This is a good question. I'm enjoying the feedback. Personally, I have my feeds organized by topic (i.e. Higher Ed, News, Technology, etc.) as well as by priority (Priority 1, 2, and 3). This allows me to easily locate my most important feeds when my account gets out of control. All others are marked as read. Each time I add a new feed, it is given a priority as well as a subject tag. - Adam

Oh, nice.. Organize by priority is a good idea. - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM

I simply put all the feeds I consider must-reads into a folder and leave the rest as is - LANjackal

I have one folder called ___DAILY READS that's the stuff I read every day. Everything else is filed away like yours. Works for me. Oh and LOVE FEEDLY!! - sean808080

I have all my feeds in topical folders. Then I open up Feedly. Try it, you'll never look at GReader the same way again. - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

I all but stopped using Reader. I just have too many items. :( - Will Higgins™

I organize them by priority to be read so that i adapt the number of entries i read with the time i have to do it. I had previously sorted them by topic, but since i changed i'm more efficient :-) - stanjourdan

No organization. I just browse down the list and read what catches my interest at the time. - Todd Hoff

Mine: Evernote, Skype and Last.fm - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM

I think currently NOD32 & Netflix are only online services I pay for - LANjackal

Netflix - chrisofspades

Evernote and Pandora definitely....I would add flickr pro to that - Freddie Benjamin

oh, and flickr.. there are more than 3 - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM

I only pay for last.fm, netflix, and flickr. - ·[▪_▪]·

The only subscriptions I have are Netflix, Gamefly, and XMRadio. Not sure you'd call any of them online services, though. I'll probably renew flickr when I can more cash flow, though. - Jandy

Remember the milk, Flickr and Mvelopes. I've been thinking about upgrading to Pandora One but haven't done it yet. - Ward Seward

Spotify! - Lasse Johnsen

Netflix, Pandora & Wall Street Journal - Jay Clark

Rapidshare, remember the milk, evernote, mobile.me, last.fm ... - Ugur Aydogdu (jnbn)

ehm.. let add: rapidshare, mobile.me, (a seedbox), and lastpass - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM

Evernote, Remember the Milk and Flickr - Brett Kelly

Also Evernote, Mozy and Flickr. - Oliver Bouchard

Evernote Premium, Dropbox (50GB), and MindMeister - Jim Tierney

Flickr. - Morton Fox

Evernote, Jungle Disk, You Mail, Flickr ,Skype, Netfilx - metalerik

I only have one: reqall. - Jim the Blatant

Mozy, Flickr, Github, Amazon (S3, EC2, SQS), Rackspace CloudFiles, Jungledisk - Berk D. Demir

Cecily: Love Backblaze! - been using it for a couple months. Best Mac online backup solution - IMHO. - Mike Bracco

MobileMe, Flickr, Google Web Storage (10GB extra/year), SpanningSync, DropBox, DreamHost. - Nick Humphries

Among some of those already mentioned I use LovelyCharts a lot: http://lovelycharts.com/ - Peter van Teeseling

Mike Bracco: What other Mac online backup solutions did you try and what are the features separating Backblaze from others to be the best? - Berk D. Demir

Last.fm, Flickr, Jajah - Bertrand Doux

Berk: I tried Mozy as well and also played around with a friends machine that had carbonite. I like Backblaze b/c is just works...I literally don't have to ever think about it. It was started by some ex apple guys I believe and it can definitely show in the final product. Very few options - it just backs up in the background. It also stores versions of a file so sequential backups are... more... - Mike Bracco

and Jing Pro - metalerik

Flickr, Zenfolio, MobileMe, and (maybe soon) Animoto - Victor Panlilio

Evernote, Flickr, Last.fm - jbrotherlove

flickr, photoshop.com, Zune - John D Reasor

Evernote, Mozy, and Flickr - Russellreno

Evernote, Flickr, Toodledo, BitDefender - Wei-Yen Tan

Hosting for my blog. Also pay for flickr, but that wasn't really worth it. - TobiasVerhoog.com

Flickr and Remember The Milk. Hosting accounts: Media Temple and Dreamhost. - Jorge Gobbi

Evernote is my favorite. It is the one application I will not do without. - Rob Cairns

Cecily & Mike: I've tried Mozy, Carbonite, Backblaze, iDrive and settled with Mozy for no obvious reason. Pretty much they are all the same. A very similar software, same slow initial backup process, versioned backups, easy restore, scheduling and background backup features, bandwidth throttling, being easy with the system resources and close yearly fees: $49.50 (iDrive: 150GB), $50... more... - Berk D. Demir

I must have tried Evernote five times, but can't really get what is SO useful about it. Maybe it's the "how" - can someone direct me to how they use it and why it's useful to them? As far as paid apps, Pandora, Carbonite and Extra Storage on Google. That's it. - Vince DeGeorge

Vince: check out Evernote's blog http://blog.evernote.com/ as well their tumblr blog http://evernote.tumblr.com/ They have some great use cases on both sites. Maybe that will spark some ideas on how to utilize it. It's one of those things where you have to kind of be conscious of it and make yourself use it - then after a while it naturally becomes part of your workflow - at least that is how it worked for me. - Mike Bracco

Was forgetting Animoto for which I will subscribe very soon - Bertrand Doux

Thanks for those, Mike, very helpful. I think you're right... I just need to make an effort to get it into my workflow. I think it may work well to document ASP.NET snippets I use often (maybe). - Vince DeGeorge

Vince: Yeah and what's helpful as Evernote progresses is that the service is getting faster and better integrated into the OS - which makes it less obtrusive and easier to work in. - Mike Bracco

flickr, last.fm, rememberthemilk - Jason Toney

Evernote, Dropbox and Skype - Sally Church

Mobileme is the only one I pay for right now. - DGentry

Evernote, Flickr, TinySpell and WinPatrol (last 2 Windows only) - Jack&Cleo

Flickr, Zune, Netflix. - Jordan Hofker from fftogo

Flickr, Netflix, Dreamhost - Logan Lindquist

SugarSync, Evernote, LastPass - Johan Bakken

Its got to be Evernote, Flickr and Skype. Noticing a lot of love for Evernote on this list - Robert Davies

For all you Evernote peeps, if you're not already in it, we have a pretty active room on FF: Feel free to join us! http://friendfeed.com/evernot... - Lindsay

Remember The Milk, Flickr. Thinking about subscribing to Evernote but not sure I really need the premium version. If they add export option to their amazing recognition tool, I may switch. - Jean-Charles VERDIE

Damn me, I forgot the one I use the most: skype... - Jean-Charles VERDIE

freshbooks is great for small business invoicing. I use Pandora One also and Remember The Milk. trying Action Method (really good!) - Julian Seery Gude from BuddyFeed

Spotify.com, ProvideSupport.com, EverNote.com and soon e-tipi.com :-) - Elian Chrebor

@elian what does Spotify premium brings? I would subscribe for an offline and/or iPhone feature. E-tipi probably but I hope you won't have to pay ;) - Jean-Charles VERDIE

Can someone tell me what lynda.com does? And what do you get extra with a paid Pandora account? - Mark Traphagen

Mark: Lynda offers professional video tutorials or classes on pretty much any software imaginable (classes are streamed in browser via QuickTime and range anywhere from 2-12 hours. Pandora One is the pay Pandora account. It offers more skipping per day, double the bit rate quality (192 - huge difference from free account) and also a longer timeout period. - Mike Bracco

I thought the bit rate quality with Pandora One wasn't going to be a big deal but it's night and day...big difference. - Mike Bracco

Thanks, Mike! - Mark Traphagen

I pay for Flickr, Plaxo and Me.com - Boris

Flickr is the only thing I pay for. At work we pay for Wufoo and love it. - Laura Norvig

Netflix, DeviantArt and that is it. That is all I pay for online besides GoDaddy for web hosting. - Mathew™ aka Youngblood

spotify :). - Tobias W.

I only pay for one at this point: Flickr. I am considering Evernote as well. - Adam

Likely Evernote. still test driving it. - Carolyn Chan

No test driving necessary for me, now a premium subscriber :) - LANjackal from IM

giganews unlimited usenet for $25/mo is always tempting - Mike Chelen

Other than my Web hosting, I don't have any paid subscriptions to online services that I can think of. I tend to gravitate toward ad-supported free services. - Fried Curdys

you mean like so? :) - Iwan

hahah that is soo funny - Susan Beebe

is this a timed challenge? - Iwan

Hmmm... - Adam

Literally LOLing at this, Robert. - Ha3rvey (heavy duty)

Yes master... - Chris Forbes

i'm not sure what you mean ;) - Suzannah Archibald

I want to know how many of them consider themselves social media experts? - Colin Anawaty

bit of a pompous mood today? when have you ever expected anyone to follow directions on the net? - Doubledown_inSL

I was lost when Robert was at the 140 conference - he wasn't active here so I didn't know what to read...haha - Mike Bracco

*looks around for FF koolaid* - Susan Beebe

So, 47% or your followers are expected to discuss here? The comment counter is going to explode. - Brome

http://friendfeed.com/iphone works well. At least, it works well on my Android - Keith Bourgoin

3% of Scobes followers are still trapped on Myspace - Doubledown_inSL

twitter wasn't an interactive medium was it? :P - jaspio

What? - fanch_guy

Kevin: only about 42,000 of my 96,000 followers are here. Useless! I think they are all spammers or bots. - Robert Scoble

I'm amazed how fast this thread is growing. - Nick Prince

You mean 95,999 followers. - Robert Peterson

Very clever. - Nicole

that mass growing of the thread would be the 47% who can follow instructions ;o) - Carl Grint

I keep having to block spammy, icky followers on twitter, mostly porn and get-rich schemers..augh! - Susan Beebe

I refuse to respond to such a claim! - Al Fuller

Power is a double-edged sword, Robert...lol... can be tough to galvanize one's - Carol Lynn Martens

LOL @ Justin - Doubledown_inSL

No one has to do anything anyone says/ - Paul Kinlan

let's see how 'stableizer' FF really runs *bumping up this thread *g* * - Ronald

No. I refuse to. But that doesn't make me useless. :-P - Ordinarybug Heather

show me a bridge - I'll jump after you! - BEX

FF is great, it just requires a higher level of interaction that many people don't have time for or interest in. - Stuart Tracte

new game: instead of "simon says" it is now "scoble says" - Chris Rogers

That's truth but I am one of the direcitons follower - Gent Thaçi

Just following instructions. - Larry Roth

Glad I caught this in my Twitter feed - I'd hate to be a bad directions-follower. - Shawn Farner

whatever you say - George Deane

^^ yeppers, i robot :D - Ronald

If you're happy and you follow (Scoble), clap your hands! - Carlos Granier-Phelps

I may of missed something, my bad.. - Sebastiaan van den Akker

Doh! Sorry, I clicked that link by accident - I'm in the 53%. As you were... - Andrew Jordan

Must do what Scoble says... Slow down comment box... forgot what this tread was about. - Drew S

/claps hands - George Deane

do what? - Mick

I agree that FF is better for tracking conversations, and hopefully @Twitter will get that. I still spend more time on Twitter - Matthew Scott Horbund

I follow directions but am often useless. Where do I fit? - Aaron Ball

53% your numbers are inaccurate. - Carlos Ayala

This should be interesting... - Robert Lee

YES O LORD AND MASTER, WHAT IS THY BIDDING :) - ftg888

wow, I'm not the only one who has no clue what's going on.. - Sebastiaan van den Akker

Grr... shouldn't have commented... Now I'll be getting IM updates forever!!!! - Carlos Granier-Phelps

I think this is just a psychology experiment... - Chip McComb

lol - Sebastiaan van den Akker

Commenting so as not to appear useless - Herb Hernandez

hahaha - Ronald

Carlos: lol - Larry Roth

what is actually ment by "directions"? - Clemsen

yes how is the number 53% found. - Daniel Graversen

as usual im in the minority (43%), Im never in the majority :( - George Deane

I hope you're wrong, Chip. Otherwise, you didn't see me here. - Shawn Farner

reporting for duty... - Todd Goldstein

baaaaah - mikepk

Scoble does have a lot of followers... - Sebastiaan van den Akker

I thought men were basically incapable of asking for directions, so why would they follow them? ;-) - Julie Bovee Hill

Robert, you are looking angry today. Take it easy, man! - Walter Lounsbery

d'oh! I meant 47% - George Deane

I am in building 44. Can you give me directions to 43? - David Connell

??? is this a test of the national broadcasting system? - Robert Wilkins

damn it scoble! get a real job! =) - Jonathan Crossland

Wow--never thought I'd wish for a "Don't Like" button or link, Robert! - Kathy Fitch

Robert's comments are very important particularly for political & development work. - Justin Long

Also important for business marketing. - Justin Long

U made me upset in first look then I realized what u mean and I found Im not not one of those. Hope you are not angry sir and wont fire me.. - Abhijeet Singh

I need a job like Scoble's... but in Miami. - Carlos Granier-Phelps

to comment or not to comment.... that is the question... - Kim

Are trending topics on friendfeed called "friending topics"? - Larry Roth

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT) What was the question again? - don manu

hehehe... nice trick - Gustavo Munoz from twhirl

i think this thread goes 'epic' on FF ;) - Ronald

Robert, I'm up to the CHALLENGE of not being "useless." Actually, my business communication students at SFSU just heard my initial remarks which included THREE RULES FOR SUCCESS in BUSINESS [and everything else!] The rules: LISTEN CAREFULLY, READ CAREFULLY and FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS! - Shari Weiss

Apathy is the big killer of networks. - Justin Long

I'm here. That makes me not useless, I guess? - Celia

Robert Wilkins: it is my test to see how many spammers, bots, or jerks are following me. - Robert Scoble

I get alot of spam about sites who gives you followers, whats the point of the followers have no interresting to give to you? And whats most crap is that they have enabled auto-follow back.. grrr :P don't sign up on those sites people.! - @LarsenTweet

I like the constantly refreshed list but it doesn't half distract me from my own comment! - Joshua Davidson

hahahahaha, ok.. now I get it - Sebastiaan van den Akker

I Welcome our FF Overlords! - Al Fuller

Does this mean that you expect there to be 45,120 comments here? - Andrew Pass

I like Viagra. - Paul Puri

:-P - Lorenzo Strambi

a spammer... - Sebastiaan van den Akker

this is the only ff link of yours i followed. - moogs

You are usefull for us Robert =) - @LarsenTweet

I am getting a few new people to follow here, which is good! - Robert Scoble

Qbat aka Larsen: Agreed! - Larry Roth

I am not a bot! I am a free man! - Jeff Newfeld

Talking directions? - Sardar Mohkim Khan

i guess i've been lucky - i don't think i've seen any bots yet on FF (going now to check my short followers list) - Chris Rogers

Why do you think that people take the time to comment here? - Andrew Pass

This thread is like watching the real time web on steroids.I can't type fast enough to keep the comment box in view....yikes! - Dana Fosburgh

Robert - me too, thanks! :) - Susan Beebe

All you have to do is insult people and then they come :-) - George Deane

Notice how many of us follow when we are told we are not following. - Sandy McMerty

So, you're saying that people who don't use FF are spammers, bots or jerks ? - Djordje Lukic

So when you figure out how many there are, How are you going to auto filter them out? - Robert Wilkins

I read, I clicked, I arrived. I guess that means I'm not useless. - Mike

This comment intentionally left useless. - phil baumann

Seriously though let's not take the term 'followers' too literally. Just because I read a column doesn't mean I share the authors views. Just because you say lets discuss this on friendfeed doesn't mean I log onto FF and.......ah. OK....What is thy bidding?! - Joshua Davidson

You suck, man. I refuse to be a minion. Oh, wait... shit... - Joey Gibson

<Insert clever comment here.> - caj

Am I in the 53% or the 47%? - Tony Connor

What type of followers do you need Robert? Tell us and maybe we will try to be better. - @LarsenTweet

DeVries: oh, I understand. We need better notified control. - Robert Scoble

150th - Harscoat

Well, those who don't do what you tell them are actually more useful. No for you directly, but for the society. They mix your directions with their own to create new ones. - Kirill Petrovsky

Is this a roll call :) - Boon Kwee

i'm just commenting to hang with the cool kids - ukgrad98

^^ Nope 'happy hour' at Scoble's ;) ;) - Ronald

"Follower" is a weird term. "Watcher" may be better. Follower implies action and engagement, and anybody who's used social media for more than 20 minutes knows that just isn't true. - Jared Smith

Have I responded quick enough not to deemed useless. I feel a little baaaaa now. - Crispin Heath

Jared: bing! - Robert Scoble

So if you ever figure out how to deal with the bots and all the "I will teach you to make millions with Twitter" junk let us all know! - Marshall Huwe

you are talking about twitter, they would be useless but they are numbers and number always count. - Madhav Tripathi

If we need to use friendfeed to be useful, are there any clients or is it only the webinterface. - Daniel Graversen

Marshall: this is how. Bots and spammers don't get FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble

Daniel: what is wrong with the web? - Robert Scoble

inscribo ergo sum (I write therefore I am) - Jeff Newfeld

Nothing, just seem deficult to follow more threads. But that is probably not needed because the whole conversation is in once place. No need to multitask. - Daniel Graversen

is it just me or is the most used "plugin" on FriendFeed twitter? - @LarsenTweet

Actually, I find FriendFeed useless. I was reading an article about Twitter being useless, but the news get faster there. We'll have to say thanks to TwitScoop for that. - Dragos Pirvu

I never use FriendFeed. it just agregates all my other feeds into one feed. thats all :D - Zafarali

Dragos: wait until you compare search here to Twitter before calling it useless. Among other features. - Robert Scoble

No bot me, no. Count me out for that one. - Ton Zijp

dragos: all the news on Twitter is on FF, plus FF has better conversation - what do you think is missing? - Chris Rogers

FriendFeed enables comments on your tweets.! - @LarsenTweet

Robert Scoble: I think the proliferation of tools for Twitter let you slice and dice the data the way you want it and that is helpful to many. I do like the Web interface for FriendFeed, but imagine the possibilities that some cool tools could bring. No? - Larry Roth

So then we need someone in your vast network to write us a little app that will map the Twitter users who comment on FF and then block all the rest! Or at least create a "Real" Group in TweetDeck for me. - Marshall Huwe

ha! - Ned Baugh

there are SO MANY COMMENTS HERE - Zafarali

the best part is u can track em - Zafarali

Is this the way to San Jose? err ... I mean Friend Feed? - Tom Horn

Twitter should have a option that people who want's to follow you must write a small text for WHY you should let them follow you or the other way around - @LarsenTweet

Did you know that more than 90% of all statistics are made up? ;) - Tim Young

I'm getting tired of having to block the spam followers everyday. - Ron Hudson

Working on both FF and twitter - but FF is easier to follow comment threads - kathysd

What is interesting is I am already following most of the people who commented here which proves my point. - Robert Scoble

I was carefully looking at this list the other day http://spinn3r.com/rank... - turns out many people on it barely/if at all - use friendfeed. - Nir Ben Yona

Can you guys slow down - I can't keep up :( - Al Fuller

I think Twitter and FF provide different things and there is space on the internet for both :) - Tom Griffin

I've had friendfeed for quite a while, but I've not used it much, how do I expand this chat? - Ron Hudson

How does this post check for bots? - Amit Morson

Followers can not be useless. At least you can be proud of the sheer scale. And I believe, you don't want to have a conversation with thousands people at once. That would be truly useless. - Grigori Milov

I am here with you - I think it is that only half want to have a say. - Robert Freeze

On Twitter I talk strangers V on Friendfeed I am among friends - Asgeir

I'd like twitter to have a "report spam" button, this would avoid quite a lot of hassle... - don manu

Ron: just click on comments link under the topic - @LarsenTweet

ya like that! thanks. How do I do that? - Ron Hudson

Why is it important that followers comment & discuss U2, @Scobleizer? BC U R green? - Petter Griph

Amit: bots don't follow directions from people who are not their owners. No bots here. - Robert Scoble

FriendFeed should get a comment button under all the comments - @LarsenTweet

Qbat: click on the time under the post and open it in a new window - Robert Freeze

Andy: I'm in the 35% that read the comments. Didn't want my lame joke to be a REPEATED lame joke. :D - Tim Young

Robert Freeze: aaah.! Thank you =) - @LarsenTweet

Robert: unless perhaps the bot has directions to comment on every Scoble post? - Brian Sullivan

This reminds me of that "following directions" test from grade school. 1. Read all instructions before beginning. (2 -> N-1). Lots of crazy instructions which we all did. N. Don't do any of the previous instructions. Turn the page over, write your name, and wait. - Don Faulkner

Robert Freeze, that never worked for me - Amit Morson

Go watch Perez Hilton's video about being beaten up last night and going on techcrunch - Mark

time for a pint :-p - tony bland

Robert Freeze that worked. that should be labeled a bit better - Ron Hudson

Andy: I didn't tell you to read all the comments! :-) - Robert Scoble

If I reply here that I think it's less than 53% I may actually prove myself wrong. So be it. - Arnd Jan Gulmans

Should be a rewind and play button so you can play back all the comments.. like google wave - @LarsenTweet

And how many minutes/comments-in does the Scobalizer stop reading the comments? Opps, I just see that we are not supposed to "read" to comments...only discuss them. - Stephen Price

Thats cause they were busy seeing what I am doing!! LOL, your not the only person bossing people around. - T.S. Elliott

How big is the percentage of your followers that doesn't follow you? - Arnd Jan Gulmans

I love Friend Feed! - Robert Freeze

Click here for 101 ways to get rich ... Woooops, sorry wrong percentage group. - Chris Spencer

The reason I don't use friendfeed very much is because there is no SocialScope support on my blackberry. As soon as I can get a sweet blackberry app I'll be here more. - Ron Hudson

Now if I can just get my mom on here. http://www.building43.com/blogs... - Robert Freeze

I don't want to be in the wrong group. :P - Sheryl

Ron: http://fftogo.com - Tom Griffin

Done, in. - Thom Kennon

Tom Griffin, I saw that, and it's "usable" but it's nowhere near the elegance and simplicity of say UberTwitter,SocialScope, or TweetGenious. I use SocialScope. It is an absolute Killer app. - Ron Hudson

Do I get partial credit for skimming the comments? No? Sorry, master. - malackey

Cool, so, I'm in the 47%, 35%, 29.4%, 100% and 100% ranges! I'm all over the place. Thanks Scoble and Andy for helping me learn something new about myself. - Tim Young

I see the "224 more comments" bit on FF and know I don't need to add another comment. Erm... - Ian Betteridge

FFtogo doesn't auto-refresh - Ron Hudson

To follow or not to follow, or to passive follow versus have an active conversation? - Peter Simoons

It's all about the user experience though - it's easier to comment to someone's question on Twitter by quickly clicking @ than click a link through to FF, faff about sizing the screen on the screen to wait for the comments to load, read them and then post, so yeah, I can see why many respond on Twitter than FF. I'm doing that more myself as currently very busy with work projects. This... more... - Sally Church

I refuse to fall prey to this ruse, Robert. Oh...wait... ;) - Robert J Taylor

I added you to my Live acct weeks ago. No reply. - Bret

I'm too sleepy to read all this right now. - Daniel Zarick

clever early morning link-bait - Jake Ludington

nice one :) you should do an NHST on that hahaha - The Pageman

They should change that from "followers" to something like "watchers" or "subscribers". As in "I have a subscription to the Scoble lifestream." - Steve Lynch from twhirl

discuss (Would hate to be useless) - Charlie Anzman

So is this a casual social experiment to determine rough percentages of active/rabid users who like to engage/participate with those they follow? - Eden Hensley

I completely agree! Unfortunately I might be considered part of that 53%! The only reason I am responding is because someone else I follow re-tweeted it. I personally have over 5000 followers but only regularly interact with 50 or so. Isn't Social Media about conversation and being engaging? Hmmm...... - Robert Dominguez

Robert: Very interesting experiment, one should use there own judgment over there (twitter) regarding bots and spammers. - Eran Even-Kesef

@Scoble: I'm listening. What are you going to say, or what did I miss? - Jason Cronkhite from Alert Thingy

It is a direction. Anybody must walk all alone ... so, what is the point? - bishoph

same here, most people don't read - Michael Reese

Smile and wave boys, smile and wave:) - Rick Bucich

great man！！no protect update.... and i just follow ..i 'd like be the unless fllower..lol~~ - HealingBrush

Not being a bot, I am compelled to follow directions. - Randall Fink

I am useless :-( - Andrew

Andy Bold, I played with iPhone page too, but it's just a pain to have to open the browser. The blackberry environment is all about easy simple communication. If I have to jump through hoops it breaks down. Not to mention a friend feed experience without push is not a friendfeed experience.\ - Ron Hudson

99% of your followers will not read the 250 comments proceeding this one, and I am one of those 99% - SteVe "Glory Juice" C

That'll teach me for ignoring Twitter for a few minutes a couple of hours ago! Late as usual. - Graham Stewart

Hey, much better here! Twitter sux.... after getting locked out of @freddavis for months with NO reply from Twitter, even after you tweeted @ev and @biz (thanks!)... so I my new Twitter name is @fucktwtr ... but much better to use FriendFeed! - Fred Davis

I almost thought that you have a big ego. :) - Shuuro

followers are for cults. twitter should change to readers/reading, because at the end of the day this is all about reading - Jim Posner

Adding my opinion to the rollcall, though I've just realized that i actually have no opinion on this. - Chris Foley

Clever. :-) - Patrick Ward

To much noise, the good data is lost. - Adam Mesenbrink

Yes to much noice. Maybe a way to mark comments as good could be a way to filter the comments. - Daniel Graversen

Adam, I think that's a limitation with the threaded discussion model of FriendFeed - it becomes very, very difficult to follow a conversation once it goes beyond a hundred or so comments. Of course, Scoble will come up with a search filter which makes it easy in about three comments from now, just to prove I'm wrong... :) - Ian Betteridge

I didn't realize followers were supposed to do what their followees said. Does that mean I have to open those links to help me make money on twitter? I was just using it for communication. Silly me. - RobinDotNet

Robin: communication takes someone on the other side listening and talking back. - Robert Scoble

Useless to YOU, perhaps. I'll bet they are getting value from the info you rpovide. Social media doesn't have to be about communication, it can be about "transmitting information" or some other morer restrcitive definition of what goes on. Some people just like to listen! - Jim Tierney

Useful post :) - Krishnamoorthy

Agreed! There are those like me who sit in shadows, read and do not comment... oh wait, crap! - Danny F Santos

Talking back is definitely good, but I'm still not clicking on those links telling me I can make money on twitter. I do talk back to people (as evidenced here). :-) So you have a lot of followers who don't. Do they even tweet? Can anyone explain why people join twitter and don't tweet? - RobinDotNet

Jim: I'm not a broadcast, though. Are people who just consume really useful? - Robert Scoble

And BTW, if you don't realize the value your personal brand gets from having those 48,000 followers whether they reply back or not, you're missing something! - Jim Tierney

Robin: people are used to consuming info and not talking back. I understand that. Jim: there is some value in having lots of consumers, yes. I just aspire to more. - Robert Scoble

lucky you that non all of them have an active role in your FF... how can you think of have an interaction wth so many people? - Paolo Galli from IM

I think you math is waaaaaaaay off. Looks like somewhere around 0.3125%(300/96,000 - rounding up) of your followers are useful, meaning you should edit your comment to say 99.7% of your followers. Really makes me wonder the true value of twitter if one of the top uses gets this percentage of useful following. The other possibility is that as followers increase, the percentage of attentive/usefull/whatever-you-want-to-call-it decreases. - Robert D. Fraser

Paolo: I've had interactions with tens of thousands of people here on friendfeed, just not all at the same time. Robert: you're right. :-) - Robert Scoble

Do you think those non-tweeting-twitterers sit at their desk and read all the tweets coming across? Or are they looking for something specific. - RobinDotNet

Scoble: You are asking questions and experimenting with stuff that I find interesting. Just reading through this thread provides some interesting insights into users' perspectives on Twitter. - Matthew Schrock

Is that southeastweb thing from a bot or some kind? - RobinDotNet

Robin: I think it's a spammer. But at least it's a spammer that follows directions. That said I think I'm going to block it. - Robert Scoble

Blocked. - Robert Scoble

Scoble you really can do it? I'm very impressed :) I'm jocking... I think many users on the web just read information but doesn't partecipate... it's to difficult ;) - Paolo Galli from IM

97.2% of all statistics are made up. - Jason A. Nunnelley

Tekany: and the statistics that aren't made up can mislead. :-) - Robert Scoble

Seeing a spammer blocked just makes me feel warm all over. It's so awesome. - RobinDotNet

I am exceptionally useless. - Geoff Schultz {TF}

Geoff: that's why I follow you! :-) - Robert Scoble

Following instructions is way overrated - Iphigenie

That's what I'll have on my next business card: Scoble found me useful, what about you ? - Antoine Bertier

RTFM or GTFO said the BOFH. - Jon Winters

Although at this point I would welcome someone giving me instructions as to the next steps in life - far too many options. Maybe I should crowdsource it, but I am certain not to like the results - Iphigenie

@scobleizer you crack me up sometimes! There, see this post went to you in both places... But I don't really feel like discussing it... ;-P - JR

Walt: heh. - Robert Scoble

LOL! Great job of being satirical! You have a lot of great followers. :) - James Stratford

Just sayin I could follow directions and discuss here if I wanted, but not interested in this discussion. However it did make me laugh that you called 53% of your followers out on not being able to follow directions. - JR

Alex, uhm like totally and stuff ... and uhm. Ya know. Cool. - Jason Nunnelley

BTW: where'd you see my reply come in from first? FF or as a mention over on twiiter? - JR

Walt: here on friendfeed. - Robert Scoble

Robert, you dropped your twitter response button. Makes sense, but was it purely to reduce redundancy? - Jason Nunnelley

viewing people as "useful" is problematic..useful to who?..tools are "useful'...people not so much...helpful may be a more precise word. - Jim Posner

Jim, wordsmith! - Jason Nunnelley

Hi - Tyler (Chacha)

.LOLz...great thread! - .LAG liked that

Twitter to me seems a big mess of information, I can't keep up with it! FF sorts the mess out nicely and without the spam. I much prefer FF. - Matthew Davis

Jim: you're right of course. I was just trying to be an egotistical bbbaaaahhhhssssttttaaaarrrrrdddd to get a conversation going. Jason: what did I drop? I didn't do it on purpose. - Robert Scoble

Damn it Robert, you got me to make an account here three days ago, what more can I do for you? ;-P - Shane Trammell

Robert, you are smart - Arvind

This is an easy way to get rid of bots. They don't have anything intelligent to share (like me)! - Carlton Prest

WTG sheeple for getting conned into commenting here... wait. um. - Scott Breakall

Robert, what if people want to reply and be engaging but don't feel like they have anything of value to say / to add to the discussion? - Wang Yip

Scott: Perhaps, but at least I un-liked it... - JR

Robert - what is the point of this? I took carrot... - Liza + = ?

Robert, I just put the lime in the coconut. Now what? - Sue Radd

Robert-Great discussion at 140, BTW. On another topic just watched the Perez Hilton video and trying to get my head around that rant..if you haven't seen it you should watch both sides of the feud with will.i.am. Interesting use of twitter and video to address insult/outrage. - Jim Posner

Sue, like it. - Liza + = ?

Yahoo Inbox: 178 messages. 132 are notifications of new comments here. Good job. :) - Tim Young

Ok now I "get" this FriendFeed experience. - Ron Hudson

lots of people commenting here--I wonder if it has to do with the time of day more than the topic - Brent R Jones

I have a fear of being useless. - Ron Wening

I hope I'm not within the 53% - Michela Cimnaghi /cimny

I just drove from Pierre SD to Fort Totten ND, so I'm a little bit groggy. What exactly was I supposed to do to pass Robert Scoble's version of a Turing Test? Also, is it really important that people think I'm not a bot? I bet there is still money in AI. - Matthew McCowan

Is that percentage of useless followers greater or less on Twitter. (I think I can predict your answer!) - Curt Mercadante

"I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member." - jacek

This thread is taking me a long time to read when I haven't had coffee yet today. - Jannifer @wordsforliving

So, my understanding is.. one who doesn't give 'directions' to his followers is useless too. Mmhhh! yeah - Thierry R. Andriamirado

Robert - there's nothing egotistical about it! I'd also be remiss if I didn't add that I get plenty of thought-provoking value from you even when in "read-only" mode. Understandably my usefulness to you is nil in those cases. However (and I'm echoing at least one other commenter here: IRONY ALERT) I've found that by the time I comment in this type of thread, my exact thoughts have... more... - Jim Tierney

I just hope Scobleizer never directs me to do something self-destructive. I hate it when that happens. - DGentry

I don't think lurker are useless :), I don't think number of followers have a great significance, Friendfeed is a Virtual Life Streaming, and in virtual life (as in real life) some people don't have a direction, they live (however i prefer LIVE with all capital letters, and have a direction!!!). - CantorJF

Twitter has become useless for any sort of participation - Jorge Escobar

Really, you Are scaring - Eta from Nambu

here. - metalerik

Yay for the other 47%. - Colette

So if we post here, are we teacher's pets? :) - Daynah

Members of the "TV Generation" are just not used to follow directions... (they sit and consume with chips&beer and maybe do some shopping via telephone - these are a well trained habits and hard to change)... - Arne Krueger

I'm jumping up for another cup of tea, be right back... - Deborah E. Bifulco

There clearly comes a point of scale where FriendFeed fails to delivery clarity...nothing useful on the first screenful or last... does that mean that 47% of your followers are unable to provide significant value? - David Race

Will there be and end of this direction? Do we want to close directions? I think somewhen even directions become useless - Vedran Rudelj

delivering significant value to ff and/or the subscribers depends on the roi they get... some people are just not using it - as it is intendet to be used. so what!? - Arne Krueger

If technology fails you, next time you are in Memphis lets get together for lunch. Great value remains in human contact. - Jeff Milton

That is priceless - Keith - @tsudo

I am not a bot, I am huma ... wait, oh yeah, I am a bot .... never mind, back to being useless. - John

Bots are human too. - Thom Kennon

No one say anything useful, otherwise this will have meaning. - Liza + = ? from email

Liza: shhhh. Heheh. - Robert Scoble

I found this thread useful. - Mike Nencetti

Love these types of threads - quite enjoyable! - Jannifer @wordsforliving

O Captain! My Captain! - Nicola Mattina

Commenting so I'm not included in the useless category... Also, I'd love to chat about this the next time you're around the FF office. - Ross Miller

There are 3 kinds of people in the world: 1. Those that follow Robert Scoble because he doesn't act like he's too good to talk to us. 2. Those that follow Robert Scoble because he is known to follow everyone back, and therefore he is good for "inflating" their follower count. 3. Those who have no idea why they are following Robert Scoble. - April

4th type of person follows for great feeds that generate discussion on FF. - Mike Nencetti

April, you forgot the fourth category: 4. Those who don't subscribe to Robert Scoble but find far too many of his posts liked and commented by their friends. - Hiding in Two Corners

But the only reason why Robert generates great discussions is because he is part of that discussion. He doesn't just drop & run, or only talk to people he thinks are "somebody", completely ignoring the rest of us. While he may have a big ego, it isn't so big that he thinks he's too good to have a real conversation with us. - April

53%? That seems a generous estimate. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Rob: I have almost 42,000 followers here and 96,000 followers on Twitter, which comes out to 43%. Glad someone caught me on my math! :-) - Robert Scoble

My casual research indicates about 1% will respond. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

even if they don't respond there is something to be said about passive observing- no? - michael sean wright

You call this a discussion? - Phil Boiarski

Phil: this is not a discussion. It's a lot of people following directions. :-) - Robert Scoble

Hi Robert, nice experiment! - Luis Enrique León

Aye aye Cap'n Scoble. Sorry I'm late but I just got done eating a plate of waffles in some diner in midtown NYC... - Aaron Strout

53% of your followers aren't followers in the sheep sense. That's a good thing. Lose the other 47% - C. K. Sample III

C. K. why must you self loathe on my thread? - Robert Scoble

I feel kind of funny. - Mike Nayyar

It's not easy being part of the 47% - Aidan Mann

I am not a sheep! Oh wait, maybe I am. - adam garrett

RS - The puppet master : ) - Mark Harai

I feel compelled to comment here... odd - Jan Ole Peek

Mark: who is the puppet master and who is the puppet? I'm answering you now. - Robert Scoble

Just following directions. Too many Mark's here though, I wish FF signed thing with our usernames. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

You can change your display name any time by clicking on your name in the top right corner. - Mark

Robert: communication still occurs when unidirectional, surely the works of Socrates convey concepts to readers even today? - Mike Chelen

Wow! It wasn't till I finished reading through almost all the comments that I got what Robert was trying to say :) FF good, Twitter bad. But I can't complain since it was Leo Laportes constant references to FF that got me to join and Roberts comments that got me to try and really understand what FF is all about. Initially FF was a little overwhelming and the only reason I've stuck it through so far is because of the higher quality of content for a (mostly) passive FFer. - Anant Gairola

Writing that last comment took me 10 minutes! Really really wish there was a good FF iPhone application!!! - Anant Gairola

Anant: the content here keeps getting better as more and more people join (which is quite a few every week lately, my numbers are going up much faster here than on Twitter, the tides are starting to move). - Robert Scoble

baa baa - Kim Landwehr

I'm sorry... did you say something? - Sean

You have no Idea how tempting it is to reshare this - and discuss it over there >>>>>>>>>> - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

No rain, no rainbows.. - BryanSchuetz

FF is the only place I can dip into your content 'at will', Twitter is to noisy and makes me dig a lot further to see the flow of conversation and any associated references. - Threepwood

I like to lurk most of the time. I usually don't have much to add by the time I am able to read the whole thread. - Dan Douglass from Nambu

I'm with Dan (above). - Miss Elle from fftogo

Better late than never! - John Rubier

Testing the maximum for FF comments? :P - Barbara

Are you happy with how friendfeed is developing? What would you change, if you were in control? I love the daily digests, I prefer something filtering the best content from those I follow - Ryan Singer

first post... wait. - Aaron Baer

following........ - sirishkumar

amazing post. - Guy Vander Heyden

Suivez moi? - Gordon Joly

Oui, monsieur Gordon ! Où allons nous ? - Brome

<----- not a bot so what percent does that make me? - Howell Selburn from BuddyFeed

bleet bleet - Sriks7

Master is our friend! - Rick Cogley

Adding myself to the list :) - TiTi

Why a follower must follow direction? :) - Christine Yang from BuddyFeed

This is a wicked and interesting post on FriendFeed =) - @LarsenTweet

by the way some of my twitter followers complain that, like you, I redirect them to friendfeed on every post there. Some say I have to choose between the two and they will follow me there, but not on both services. - Kostantinos Koukopoulos

Kostantinos: it's an open question how best to interconnect FF and Twitter. remember that there are a wide range of options, including sending comments or posts, and sending posts automatically or manually. the feedback from readers is helpful if it can be used to find the right balance - Mike Chelen

53% of your followers will leave you and then what? insult the other 47%. You can't just say it that way. You need to treat your followers with respect. Especially when you are your biggest fan. People will leave you in a heartbeat. - Jack Scalfani

Be a nice little follower, and drink the damn kool-aid! - James

Toy With Me makes vibrators and other adult entertainment accessories and they’ve recently made an app that turns your BlackBerry into a vibrator. The app is called BlackBerry Vibe 101 and it controls the vibration functions on your device by setting them to low, medium or high. There’s also modes such as constant, wave or tickle. - mike fabio
