I remember when FriendFeed was available only through VT100 terminals.
- Jemm
I even remember what it was like before Alex Scoble got here. But I never knew a time without Louis Gray. And, before Paul? Well, there was Twitter. I remember that time well. :-)

I miss having a friendfeed embed on my blog. I could use a good social media hub that isn't effected so much by good ole business decisions. What are my options?
- Mark Essel
Mark: rrrriiiiiggggghhhhttttt. Write your own, I guess is the option.
- Robert Scoble
Mona was a much more attractive Scoble. "Queen of FriendFeed" as I recall.
- DGentry
Robert, Who own's the internet? Who owns the web? How do we get that same group to own social media information so that I can rely on it rain or shine. As an aside, I looked into facebook this morning and nearly puked in my own mouth due to crappy apps, and low quality information. I sorta don't see facebook as my social information hangout, ever. (maybe lite will change that... and the relationship structure)
- Mark Essel
I too was here long before Scoble but thankfully I've gotten to know him much better after his arrival. Death to Scoble...Long live Scoble.
- Mark Krynsky
There was a "before Robert Scoble got here"?
- Morton Fox
BRS (Before Robert Scoble) will be a new measurement of time.
- Jemm
I think BS (Before Scoble) would be better. ;) Just kidding Robert
- Keith - @tsudo
I'm pretty sure Scoble was here when I got here, but I followed Louise Gray here and Scoble was quiet back then. His Twitter followers weren't following him en masse to FF like they apparently do now.

I don't remember but I love that quote anyway. That needs to show up in my feed again.
- Martha
Oh now we're starting to insult Robert now? Shame. :(
- Molly, New Ears :P
People, geez. He's quoting that hilarious video with Hitler talking about FB and FF.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Molly... how is it insulting him.. he is in this thread joking along with it... not sure he feels insulted, maybe he would say so if he was..
- Rob Sellen :o)
Molly: if you think this is insulting you should read some of the people over on Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
I remember FriendFeed on a 28.8k modem. I'm totally being serious. This whole real-time thing would have sucked. Oh, and yes, I remember FriendFeed before Robert. ;-)
- Zach Flauaus
I've been trying to see if I can actually tolerate "that cesspool of superpokes and mafia wars" of late...it's rough going. ;-)

Going to install this right now! Thanks!

Seeing so many decent Wordpress plugins these days that I think I may need to move my embryonic wordpress.com blog to a proper install on my webhosting package, I already have an old WP blog on there but it is too much hassle to update, so would prefer to start afresh especially as I am moving into a newer topic area. Anyone else find wordpress.com a bit restrictive for their needs?
- Julia Ault
@Julia: I just recently moved from Wordpress.com after being there for a while. Don't get me wrong, Wordpress.com has a fantastic service, but the restrictions on what you can and can not add to your blog are just too much.
- Jeremiah Hoyet
Heh. This is a HOSTED Wordpress Plugin. Different animal.
- Robert Sanzalone
lol, we know, Julia was just stating that all the fabulous Wordpress plugins floating around makes Wordpress.com feel restrictive.
- Jeremiah Hoyet
@Julia I made the switch to hosted (probably before I knew what I was doing with wp) and it's great. You have much more control - and that's fun. www.bluehost.com are the peeps I use, and they provide dynamite support when you need it. Go for it!
- Noah Carter
I just set this up on one of my blogs. So far, I have no buzz going on! :-/ when or if I do, though, it'll be good to have!
