Building 43 will take a bit of time - but hopefully we have the first floor in May. But this is a project, not a website. It is a community, not a blog. It is what we all decide to make it. But it is most certainly about US - the people that are fanatical about the Internet.

an IRL building for internet fanatics? sign me up.
- alexia tsotsis
fanatical about the Internet? unless am missing something, ...the internet is now infrastructure, if you are fanatical about the internet now, you might have missed that boat... its about people now, not celebs, normal people ...." this is a project, not a website. It is a community," sounds like you don't know what you are doing, which says you are probably spending someone's money who wasn't cool and are lame enough to buy the "cool" tech people, and it reeks of elitism in every way
- Tweet Feeds
Hopefully it will be a nice looking Building? Or is it a Warehouse? Most geek virtual architecture, especially in gameware - looks like the local Convenient store or Californian strip mall. But if you want to go better - Look to Dubai or China right now, for really outstanding modern architecture.

Kay: Building43 is in your mind so you can make it look however you want.

Alexia, if you post this to FF first instead of Twitter first, you can actually have FF include the graphic in this post which will get a lot more attention on FF. FF then forwards a message started here to your Twitter account.

still working out kinks and transitions between the two. kind of like how I still use Twirl even though I have Seesmic :)

re: #unfollowfriday Whoa, Leo, do we unfollow you too since U used the "O" name in yr last post? I am a tech who loves and follows your show and websites for years. My boyfriend was on your show. I hope you retract this one quickly as it is not like you. Some of these you will unfollow are your readers and viewers too. I will have a few tech questions to come later. But I had to say that, Hope you don't mind. Still love ya.

Even if you were following me, it would be worth loosing 1 follower to post "CNN declares Ashton Kutcher: The World's Biggest Twit". Finally, we have it from a respected source.

Will the follower contest between Kutcher/CNN and Oprah getting on twitter be remembered as the point at which twitter jumped the shark?
- Andy Bakun
Probably not andy, although many already are/have been - i don't think 'jumped the shark' is the right term for what's happening here... maybe it is...
- Chris Heath
Leo, your 'bromance' used "internets" this morning...do I smell a breakup?! Oooh controversy ensues. Great shows, love TWiT and the network.
- Michael Johnson
I'm thinking of unfollowing @aplusk at least because twitter has started to be more of a celebrity contest. Note: I followed him before this whole tweeteace thing.
- Howell Selburn
from BuddyFeed
Leo doesn't follow me anyway, so never mind.
- Morton Fox
following isn't your style anyway from what I can tell. If you ain't the lead dog, the view never changes! So keep on leading and let the rest of us sniff you butt on the path to success! I for one will happily sniff, but no licking will be done (for free, anyway....)
- Morgan
does that mean you will be unfollowing Ashton Kutcher? because apparently you can't: http://www.flickr.com/photos...
- alexia tsotsis
@alexia You can type "off aplusk" as a tweet. "off USERNAME" is another way of unfollowing someone.

hi Thomas. so you want to help me DM you?

I'd direct message you first but you're not subscribed to me yet.

no so what do I do? click on your name? you can be my first DM :)
- alexia tsotsis
@alexia come over sometime this week and i'll give you the run through, this site is no secret anymore! :) I'd ask LAweekly if they can create an RSS feed of just your posts, then feed it into here.
- sean percival
if you have a mutual follow, you click their name, then the link to DM is in the blue nav bar, right side. you can see it on my profile http://beta.friendfeed.com/seanper...

Two quick questions about DM: are they private? If so, can we make them not private (I've seen members publicly adressing their posts to other members, so I was wondering)?
- Brome
they are private unless you also direct them to your feed.
- Thomas Hawk
im actually wondering that too
- sean percival
OK, thank you Thomas.

- Jim @TechFrog Alden
Alexia, I'm curious. Thomas Hawk linked to this conversation, which fascinates me because most of the conversation that I've seen has been from existing users. FriendFeed, of course, wants to get new users like yourself. My question - as you've increased the number of people to whom you subscribe, what have been your impressions of the real-time feed? Is it getting too busy for you, or is it still OK?
- John E. Bredehoft
Also intrigued to see the answer to John's question
- FFing Enigma
John's question is a good one. Alexia, do you still love FriendFeed this morning as much as you did last night?

Alexia, people definitely use FF. Moreover, they're not just techies and early adopters, no matter what you read in other places. The trick is finding people that discuss the things you're interested in, and the improved search/filtering options should make that MUCH easier. Kudos to the FF team for the work on that.

- alexia tsotsis
as you can see we are a little tired of the arringtons of the world trying to use friendfeed like an electronic bill board and then bitching when it doesnt work - when we identify that someone actually "gets it" we can be a bit lavish in our welcome lol

- Tracy Benham
Alexia, I just had a chance to read your article, and was fascinated by your perspective. While some existing users are complaining that you CAN'T adjust the speed of real-time display, your major point toward the end of the article is that you CAN adjust the speed (via filters and hiding).

- Michael Fidler
Luckily, FF lets me put people in a list if I chose to. I would think getting/giving 'celebrity' follows would be much more feasible in this kind of setup...
- FFing Enigma
Just like with Twitter it'll separate into two camps - the celebs that "get it" (MC Hammer, Shaq) and actually use the service - i.e. comment/like - and the ones that have their interns (eh hem Ryan Seacrest) post to their feed. The internet calls bullshit on the latter VERY quickly.

@Chris, What's challenging about FF? People are always suggesting there's something difficult about the way the service works; I just don't see it. You log on, you read things, sometimes you leave a comment or hide something or like something. Adding items to your own feed involves two button clicks. ATMs involve more tech savvy!
- Soup in a TARDIS
++Chris, two times. @jcunwired I'm sure. // Soup, I think it's more on the user's productivity, simply sending tweets and interacting on FF is really two different levels in my eye. I think it's more about the management methodology, letting people down, not able to work as fast because they need to do more per second.
- Zu from AOD
@Zu I suppose the difficulty would range according to the number of incoming feeds, although that would be true of any other social media service. To me FF seems easier and more organic than Twitter; FF provides more of a jumping off point for discussions while Twitter is...I don't know, a random collection of thoughts that often would be better off left in someone's head. Whenever I log onto Twitter I experience a 'Crap, what now?' moment - that doesn't happen for me on FF
- Soup in a TARDIS

@Soup & Chris, so true on the random collection of thoughts. I'm also having that instance in a part of my mind. Like reading Classified Ads. And on the accessing the service, my 15 year-old brother understood how to open the account and everything, showed him how an RSS feed was key to this, but he doesn't have friends with his interests: lost user. If the message board/Dynamic RSS viewer concept was in place, then twitter would be sufficient for such a user.

It's be just like Twitter, though. They'll have their assistants do all the writing, or like some I could name, insist on telling us what they're eating that day. I thought a certain famous director might be interesting to follow on Twitter, for example, but he isn't (still love his work).
- Stan Scott
It'll be a while before they get here. FF is not in that stage of its life cycle, Twitter is. Will it happen? Yeah, but remember, Twitter had a good three years (if not slightly less) before it took off.

Community - a place for coders, sysadmins, and others to share ideas, gather, and change the web. Something Web 2.0 that does this.

Ability to publish podcasts & vodcasts via social networks (i.e. FriendFeed, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.).

But it'd be good if you can match the user experience of Area 51... sorry, can't resist joking about the Building43 name.

Focus on open source - release tools they are using internally as open source, build community around that.

Jesse: open source is a big deal, agreed.

Robert, is Building43 gonna be a site? How can you beat FriendFeed in terms of usability? We're quite fanatical about internet here I think. I like the idea of community (certainly with you involved), but I don't believe in dedicated sites for them.
- Meryn Stol
Jesse: a place for coders and sys admins makes a lot of sense. How about http://www.stackoverflow.com ? That's a place to discuss code. I'd like something like that in building43.
- Robert Scoble
Meryn: we already have a friendfeed room. Building43 is a distributed community, not a web site. http://friendfeed.com/rooms... is our room.
- Robert Scoble
I like to see you and other prominent community members start discussions... Exchange expertise with each other. Maybe involve guys from http://highscalability.com/ . But I like to see it all on my main feed. :)
- Meryn Stol
Meryn: highscalability is a great site, thanks.
- Robert Scoble
What I hope you can pull off is convince big brains to talk openly, in a casual manner, here on FriendFeed. Open to questions from people without this expertise. A bit like Digg is doing with its crowdsourced interviews. The more interactive the better. And the more "established" people, the better. Also if they are people we normally don't hear of, but play a big role behind the scenes. Rackspace is hosting quite some big sites I think. I wouldn't have a clue which ones though!

I think a "skunk works" mentality in projects and a "camp" like environment where the conversation is both the leveraging of technologies and the development of new ideas would be fantastic.

I'd like to know more about the steps that companies take when they go from small/startup to a bigger small company. Not a true "medium" sized business, but a firmly established small company that isn't bootstrapping anymore. I find this to be a grossly overlooked area. Not enough resources for the mature startup, we're too focused on the new new thing. How about the successful "old" new thing?

if every person on earth could add a message every second to the stream,what would that do? What if each of those messages was a vote on something. Is that a universal conscience?
- Tweet Feeds
Cutting edge stuff, not just web. Stuff that will bring the information in 'ambient' fashion to us when we want it. Tonchidot (remember them). IPTV, ambient information devices, mobile predictive information technologies. I want to see what is out there that is bringing us closer to the tech I saw in science fiction films a few decades ago.
