Experimenting with peoplebrowsr. Chockfull of features --but VERY confusing, what problem are apps solving? (Friendfeed is opposite)

That's why most people won't use Twitter apps, they are too hard to use

Friendfeed is dead simple, like Apple or Google. Perhaps TOO simple. Peoplebrowsr has too many features. Makie it easy
- Jeremiah Owyang
I agree... very heavy and clunky.
- Drew Lucas
I would say most people find FriendFeed confusing too. They don't even know what aggregation is.
- Shawn Hickman
Yes, overwhelming at first. Try starting in Lite mode to check out basic features. Then switch to Advanced for more. Then to Business mode. Keeping my eye on Tweetdeck and Seesmic developments, but peoplebrowsr ROCKS.
- Denise Aday
Thanks Denise!
- Jeremiah Owyang
The mob mentality is pervalent in all forms of social media because people are more willing to surrender their individuality to collective wisdom or popular fervor of the crowd.
- Eric Schwartzman
Denise, I agree for the most part, especially for Twitter. The ability to see threaded tweets, save drafts and schedule tweets is awesome. I think the Friendfeed and Facebook implementations could be improved.
- Joe Bonner
I recently tried the peoplebrowsr web interface and it was useful for me to just set up columns. I have performance issues at home with AIR apps so I didn't want to get hooked on Tweetdeck or Seesmic. The basics of setting up groups was pretty clear but many other things were confusing. Started with the "lite" version but quickly had to move to "advanced" or whatever they call it, in...

@Eric wrong thread?
- mjc
Thanks Jeremiah, Denise and Laura are right! Have a go with the Lite mode and see if you like it. Also, why don't you have a play with http://search.peoplebrowsr.com/ for a very clean interface? We're always here to help, if you have any questions and we take feedback as gold. Working on making PeopleBrowsr easier to use and feature rich at the same time - big challenge. Your comments help a lot. Thanks again :)

I love the utility of Google Reader. There's just so much there that I can't figure out. :P
- Tamar Weinberg
Have you checked out Feedly - really cool to use with Google Reader. http://www.feedly.com/ I just started using it and I love it!
- Mike Bracco
What do you like about it, Mike? I'm all about keyboard shortucts - does Feedly integrate those?
- Tamar Weinberg
Yeah, feedly integrates keyboard shortcuts and such. It takes your feeds and turns it into a sort of magazine view. If you're a skimmer, you'd love it. If you look at every item in your feeds, it'll take some serious getting used to.
- The Letter M
++ to Feedly
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Tamar: It's great if you subscribe to a ton of feeds as it allows you to skim and pick out what you most want to follow up and read about much quicker than you can do with Google Reader. As I said, I'm really new to it so I haven't explored everything but it has a lot of value. It's not a perfect analogy but think of using Google Reader as using Twitter's website and using Feedly would be like using Tweetdeck. It gives you a much faster snapshot view of what's going on in your feeds.
- Mike Bracco
feedly integration with friendfeed is pretty sweet too. It'll show you all the friendfeed conversations going on about particular items at the bottom of articles where it's being shared on friendfeed.
- Bill Kinney
feedly-mini will also show you the FF conversations for any rss-enabled website .. that includes google searches !
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
You'll find me there :)
- Denise Aday
I'll try Feedly. I just realized that since I keep Shared Items "minimized," that stupid "Sharing Settings" feature was hidden. How annoying. Usability on GReader sucks.

At Next09 I challenged Twitter users to stop answering “What you are doing” b/c the answers are mostly meaningless. What should we answer?

- Karim
I don't see the issue with the current question. For certain users, it's still applicable. They should perhaps consider adding a second question though, with answers to each aggregated into separate streams. That way, you know what you're getting.
- TheLovableRogue
"What are you thinking?" is being push by @jayrosen from NYU. He has dubbed it "mindcasting".
- Meryn Stol
Over on friendfeed the question is "what would you like to talk about?"
- Robert Scoble
"<-- put shit in here" or better yet, remove the text and don't replace it with anything!
- alphaxion
I talk about pills or solutions to people's challenges. Fill a need. Ask "How can I help?"
- Shane Gibson
Thinking about it though, is the question even that relevant? People will continue to write about whatever they want regardless of how the question is phrased.

For your consideration:
- Denise Aday
I like Robert's response. Rather than simply talking about "I'm brushing my teeth", it should be about "what would you like to talk about?". It's all about conversation.
- Kenneth
Why is it all about conversation? My mom likes my status updates.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
from IM
What are you thinking? seems to be the obvious one.
- Steve Lynch
from twhirl
The keyword is share. It needs be something like 'What would you like to share?' Ideally, though, I think Twitter should randomize 5-10 different questions (share/say/discuss/something about photos, etc), or run them sequentially each time the user logs in, so they get the full idea of what you can do on the service. And one of them should still be 'What are you doing?', as not every tweet can be a Pulitzer prize-winner.
- Shéa Bennett
twitter is different things for different users..I dont think we need guidelines for it.
- Samuel Lewis
from twhirl
Daniel - I personally think it should be about conversation because I think that it would be great to have more dialog rather than one-sided conversation. Your mom may like that your status updates but that's for Facebook, not for Twitter.
- Kenneth
For proper conversation we need one-click access to threaded tweets. I blogged about this essential feature, and some others I'd like to see, earlier today. http://twittercism.com/five-fe...
- Shéa Bennett
what's wrong w. someone using Twitter to say what they are doing? I mean I see where you are coming from that if everyone always did this type of tweet it would get old really reaaally quick-LOL. but don't you think the democracy, if you will, of being able to say whatever u want-in 140 char. is what makes Twitter so beautiful?
- Benin Brown
from fftogo
Yes, there's always a place for the inane, and of course the definition of what that means is a very relative observation. Believe me, lots of folk think tech is inane. *Lots*. :)
- Shéa Bennett
"What's on your mind?". It fits if you are posting a link or trying to have a conversation. *edit* of course, since I haven't used facebook on anything other than my blackberry in a long time, I completely forgot that was what they asked. oops :)
- Matt Thompson
from fftogo
'What have you done for others' might be cool?

Cracked up on Shéamus saying inane is very relative... you know my family???

I just commented on this earlier today: "Instead of answering Twitter's 'What are you doing?', you should answer 'What am I good at?'"
- Erik K Veland
What about not asking a question, but instead put an instruction - 'Post Your Update Here'? I've had dozens of folks new to Twitter tell me that the reason it took them so long to send their first tweet, was because they weren't clear on how to do it.
- Sharon McPherson
"Post Something"
- Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
I think the question, although it may be an initial prompt for tweeps, becomes quickly ignored for other tweets. The earliest study on Twitter (a Master's thesis at the London School of Economics and Political Science in late 2007) indicated that less than half the tweets were actually answering that over-arching question. Here is the link to the thesis, if you are interested. http://www.lse.ac.uk/collect...

- Brian Solis
Let's answer questions that force us to think about the updates we wish to galvanize action, response, connections, learning, et al, such as "what inspires you," "what did you learn today," “who should we pay attention to and why,” "what are we better off for knowing now because we follow you," etc. We need to stop tweeting "at" followers and start listening to the things that help us...

Brian, I think that you have some great Ideas there about the Social Web, but getting folks to realize it's a privilege is going to be a tough one to get across. They don't even grasp that concept with Drivers License in California, and you have many, many police folk and a much over used court system reinforcing that idea on a regular basis.
