does this mean you will drop Disqus?
- Nick Halstead
Is there any way Js-kit and disqus can work together, there are some features I enjoy in disqus, does echo subsume all of them?
- Mark Essel
from iPhone
Have you given up on your blog? I expected the link to take me to an article where you actually said something. Your constant linking to ff and little else is becoming annoying. Produce something of value or lose another follower and subscriber. Would have expected the link to tell what the hell Echo is and what JS-kit does and why a blogger should care. You waste my time with this crap.
- Bruce Keener
Just a follow-up on my last comment, Robert. You have so much talent, yet I feel like you are wasting it here. That's why I'm upset. Oh, I'm upset that I've wasted my time coming to find an article on Echo that didn't exist. But I am more upset that your talent is going down the drain, and you seem oblivious to it. A damn shame.
- Bruce Keener
I don't always "get" technology when it first arrives. Twitter being a prime example. Seeing a page of live twitter like responses though as a reader is not interesting for me. I would rather read through longer intelligent discussion. You're FriendFeed discussions are great, but the js-kit echo demo left me feeling blurry. Granted there are advantages, but am I just missing something, again?
- ASKJDOG
@askjdog you may wish to check out the matrix at the bottom of http://js-kit.com/echo it contains some of our thinking, which i am sure can be expanded upon ... for a deeper dive, click on "Synaptic Web" at the end of the matrix ... it is *one* view of the evolution of the web.
- khrisloux
Bruce: I was off filming an interview with them, I'm not going to write a damn blog post on my iPhone. Geesh. And anyway, I've already written about Echo before. This was just a tease for tomorrow's video.
- Robert Scoble
Nick: I'm very seriously considering dropping Disqus, yes. We're definitely going with JS-Kit over on Building43.com and I'll consider it after using it a while there for my blog.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, how does it compare to the Disqus Reactions?
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: from what I've seen so far JS-Kit is real time, while Disqus isn't. But not sure I'm comparing the newest Disqus stuff. Is Reactions new or is it what I'm already using on my blog at http://scobleizer.com ?
- Robert Scoble
Robert, the Reactions feature is what's below the comments, under "Reactions:" on your blog
- Jesse Stay
I'm betting that Disqus will have an equivalent out very soon - if so, is it really worth switching just for real-time, considering you'll have real-time shortly?
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: I think real time is worth switching for, but then you see how I use real time here on FriendFeed.
- Robert Scoble
I'm betting Disqus, because they've had a chance to see the competition, will release something better. I'm just not one to switch back and forth constantly though.
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: I still haven't switched my blog, but we did go with JS-Kit on Building43 because the JS-Kit folks seem to be ahead of the Disqus ones. We'll see if we switch my blog.
- Robert Scoble
Thanks @khrisloux I'll read that article, and take another look at the feature matrix.
- ASKJDOG
Either way both Disqus and JS-Kit are BOTH excellent systems from what I've seen, and I'm sure they will both continue to evolve.
- ASKJDOG
@Robert thanks for the lunch - was too much fun catching up again
- Chris Saad
Can't wait to try this but I'm going to extract my existing blog and test on an alternative platform
- Joe Dawson
good to read the discussion between Jesse and Robert: I very much want to choose the best commenting platform, and not switching bak and forth.. both disqus and current js-kit(future: Echo) have their plusses and minuses. Guess some sort of final decision on my side will take another couple of months, in the mean time staying with disqus and eagerly waiting for Echo...
- Jeroen De Miranda
Are either Echo or Disqus able to pull comments (not just posts) out from behind Facebook's garden wall onto one's own blog?

My6Sense is another really interesting app, but remains iPhone only. I know we're seeing a variety of apps like that. The same holds in reverse for Blackberry only apps. I wish there was a better mix of cross platform tools so we could use the same ones on our Blackberries and iPods. Not likely any time soon.

Robert, I'm not sure I agree they will port it. I agree they've made those noises, but in reality, there are *very* few companies porting anything between iPhone and BB. And by the time they get too it, my take is that it will be to catch up to a competitor who's beat them to other platform (in the case of porting either direction). Competition is the driver really.

My guess is they just removed a bunch of suspended accounts. This happens occasionally - it just looks more with larger accounts. Also, the API is often incorrect for higher profile accounts - often very incorrect. I've had to disable auto-unfollow for our higher-profile users because of this.

- Derrick
I love Foursquare. Sometimes it's slow on 3G, but they can fix those problems.
- Eric Florenzano
If Facebook bought Foursquare or provided the same type of service - then that would be really cool! No one wants another platform. It's Facebook, Twitter (and hopefully FF). I don't give much hope to anyone else at this point who is trying to build an app based on mass adoption. In my mind, Facebook is the new Microsoft. It is the next generation OS in a way - one that revolves around connection with others. Like the traditional OS market has shown, only two players can really be viable.

I agree with you, that Posterous will become a major player, but right now I don't like how a lot of people use it. For a lot of people Posterous seems to be just a plain hub for all their multimedia activities (picture/audio/video sharing) but nothing else. There should be more behind it (IMHO). I like your approach to Posterous, this is the way it should be.
- Georg Mahr
The only feature Posterous really needs to become "the next big platform" is a Backtype-like integration of external comments, esp. from Friendfeed and Twitter.

I honestly believe Posterous CAN be at least ONE of the next big platforms.

We often boast these days that "content is key" is passe, and new language is needed. But the bare bones of it...

nah. Posterous is great and fun, and I´m a fan. But when it comes down to it its all about the quality of your content, not about how fast you can get your content out to various micro-services or if you can post from your Iphone. I think (or hope) we will see a reaction where bloggers go back old school and actually think through what they write, that would be a welcome change... well, good old quality vs quantity I guess.

That's just it. Technology moves forward, and if the old school way was flawless, mico-blogs would have been stillborn. The opposite has happened, babies everywhere, and Posterous might be Bam Bam.

Why http://www.twitter.com/Krewell and http://www.twitter.com/Maveric... are full of it about Twitter vs. FriendFeed search:
Travis Koger, Johni Fisher, Mac Sharp and 22 other people liked this
Krewell says that FriendFeed is better than Twitter because there are 1000x less people on FriendFeed. First of all, that simply isn't true. Twitter sucked even when it had fewer people on it than FriendFeed does today (Twitter never started with a search engine, instead, bought one developed by a third-party developer and bolted it on).
- Robert Scoble
Secondly. FriendFeed has always been built around search. FriendFeed has more metadata to study. It is now real time, doesn't make you refresh the page to see new items. It also indexes WAY WAY more than Twitter. Most Twitter accounts, when you search them, only are indexed for the past few days. FriendFeed? My items for more than a year are all in there.
- Robert Scoble
Thirdly. Twitter only returns a pile of crap to you. Search for the airplane crash into the Hudson, for instance. You can't find the original tweets. On FriendFeed you can. Why? Because of engagement on items. This item, for instance, has three comments. You can use that to search "show me all items about Twitter search that have more than three comments." YOU CAN NOT DO THAT ON TWITTER.
- Robert Scoble
Fourthly. You can add on metadata. For instance, if I put a fake word here, like brrreeeport you will be able to search for this item just by using that fake word, within a few seconds. Let's try.
- Robert Scoble
Diasgree. Twitter does not suck. It does exactly what it says the tin (UK Ronseal reference unlikely to be got by USians) It does one thing and one thing well. It's an ephemeral status update that lives in the moment. Friendfeed is a different beast entirely, it aggregates all your content and allows additional commentary. You have a choice of your interaction mode
- Rachel Clarke
Brrreeeport is already in the index in less than five seconds. http://friendfeed.com/search...
- Robert Scoble
The FriendFeed Desktop applications is very nice,
- Robert Higgins
Rachel: yes, but here you can do exactly what Twitter does and more. And watch it in real time. I am watching the search results in another window and comments are showing up in real time.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, I'm not disputing that Twitter sucks at search or that FF is 1000x better at the task, but my biggest problem is that the topics I'm interested in (oncology and hematology related) doesn't yield much on Friendfeed. So... I favourite items I'm interested in on Twitter and import the RSS feed into my G Reader. Would like nothing more than to have my top 1500 Pharma and Biotech people from Twitter on FF but they prefer it there so I'm stuck. That sucks.
- Sally Church
Fifth, here I can use my friends to search. "show me all items about Twitter that Jonas Anderson has liked."
- Robert Scoble
Sally: yes, that is a problem and is the only reason I keep going back to Twitter. So, what's the answer? Mine is to show people why they need to import their items into FriendFeed.
- Robert Scoble
I was just giving you a hard time Scoble. I never use FF, so I wasn't being serious, just tweaking you for pimping FF :) But you made me reverify my account in order to answer you - so you win double.
- Kevin Krewell
Robert, I keep doing that and some are gradually coming but they don't like it because the Pharma convos are happening daily on Twitter. Give them a few years more, sigh.
- Sally Church
That's true Sally, I like Friendfeed because I dont have to parse the metalanguage, to discern the tangible knowledge.
- Robert Higgins
Sally: by the way, that's a problem because of Twitter's rules regarding search and API hitting. If you have access to Twitter's firehose feed you can't display all Tweets, only those from people who have registered with you.
- Robert Scoble
Sally: Can't you create fake friend feeds for your 1500 biotech/pharma folks? And cross post to Twitter from FF?
- David Sandey
Sally: yeah. David: creating fake friends is wholly unsatisfying.
- Robert Scoble
Kevin: welcome, you might like it here. The conversations are better.
- Robert Scoble
So let me give a real life example: I needed to find a job someone I knew was interested in but couldn't remember who/where/what shared it. Searched Twitter for Sprycel and it came up immediately, searched FF got zilch. That is typical of my experience.
- Sally Church
Sally: yup, which is why I keep using Twitter too, and know so much of how it sucks. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Thanks Robert. I'll have to add it to my rotation of Internet addictions.
- Kevin Krewell
Kevin: import Twitter and your other things into your feed here.
- Robert Scoble
David, yes I suppose I could but hey, am really busy working 18 hr days at the moment with projects and do not have the time when I can a) converse with them on Twitter and b) usually find what I need there. Do I wanna tear my hair out? Yes. Would I rather they were here, yes absolutely but it is overwhelming for newbies and they have spend the time getting the hang and network on Twitter.
- Sally Church
Robert, thanks I'm glad you feel my pain :(
- Sally Church
Robert: Fake friends are unsatisfying everywhere. Not just FF.
- David Sandey
Robert: in real time do you mean without hitting refresh? I can get twitter to do that, although it's not native. for me, it's about usefulness. As FF is an aggregator most of the content is twitter, plus blogs...most of which I'm following on the originals. the FF value is in the conversation, but you are one of the few I know I follow who engender conversation, so unfortunately FF is...

Looks like another Friendfeed vs. Twitter discussion. We should be create an acronym: FFvT for all such discussions
- Kevin Krewell
Robert - agree. that's what I said. i can do it, but not natively. (interestingly, I was in the Telegraph's offices today and they have a HUGE screen running what looks to be Twitterfall. By huge I mean it looks 20ft tall.)
- Rachel Clarke
Why create an acronym there is no limit to what you can type?
- Robert Higgins
FriendFeed's biggest strength though is hosting communities around anything and reducing redundancy in the system. I'd much rather 'Like' a story than 'RT' in Twitter. It also gives greater credit to the original poster. This is why finding Hudson Plane Crash is easy to trace on FF than Twitter. FF is just a more smartly put together site for live content than Twitter.
- CannonGod
from iPhone
Saves time if your on a mobile devices.
- Kevin Krewell
Jake: yes. FriendFeed's likes are a much better system than RT's. You can't search through your RT's like you can through your likes.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: AND Friendfeed's Search is much more intuitive and specific. Twitter gives you a whole pile 'o crap, even when you go as far as block the person.
- Amir
Well, I usually find something useful to an ongoing business/Pharma project on Twitter so cannot whinge too much. FF biggest weakness is the lack of enough regular people or niche people in areas I'm interested in. The superb FF search is useless to me if it constantly returns nothing. How many other business, science or Pharma people come here, search for something interesting and get nothing in the search so they bugger off. For Tech discussions it's brilliant, there's no doubt about that.
- Sally Church
Robert: Friendfeed ALSO has the "share" feature instead of RT's. Less spam and more of the good stuff.
- Amir
I really like how Robert Scoble showed you can click on the discussion "Time Line" to stop the other discussions. And you can link to that one thread. Granularity, is nice. You can engage on one theme longer. But LIke Sally said. I wish my Professional Network on Twitter would engage on FriendFeed more. So frequently, as soon as something interesting starts to occur that I want to learn more about . People lose focus , in the 140 limit.
- Robert Higgins
Sally: FriendFeed is exactly where Twitter was about two years ago. It just will take time for it to spread to other audiences. Actually, Facebook will probably get there first. They already have 10x more people than Twitter does.
- Robert Scoble
I'm going to continue to be multi-app. For me, neither is better, they do completely different things. I look at them at different times, in different behavioural states. Happy for both to continue
- Rachel Clarke
Twitter is more accessible. That's the sum of it.
- © b e e n s w a n k
Robert: I think that's because of the audience that Facebook reaches. You will see seniors using Facebook to connect but highly unlikely you will see them on FriendFeed.
- Amir
So will Facebook end up being the Uber-platform?
- Kevin Krewell
Robert, agreed but it's frustrating for those of us on the fringes, I love this place and even have a FF tee shirt :-)
- Sally Church
Brandon: I agree but if all that Twitter can offer to untech-savvy users is accessibility, then we have a problem.
- Amir
Sally: Twitter was frustrating for the first two years too. It was down every day, often during big events like SXSW when it actually would have been useful. It's funny that we all complain about the mainstream being there now. Anyway, I use both searches for different reasons. But the technology inside Twitter just has never been very impressive.
- Robert Scoble
Facebook is like opiates for the masses, Friendfeed is the marijuana of the lunatic fringe.
- Robert Higgins
What motivates a person in a non-tech field to move from Twitter to FriendFeed? What utterly killer need does FF solve for such a person that Twitter does not? FF is better than Twitter in a lot of ways, but Twitter's benefit has always been simplicity. Like it or not, FF is more complex than Twitter, so it needs to provide something KILLER to top the simplicity factor.
- Trent Hamm
Amir: yeah, I don't see FriendFeed going mainstream the way Facebook has. It doesn't have enough hooks and FriendFeed needs to find a new path that we don't yet see. I think the rooms could be it, especially if I could brand those. Higgins: yes, but the same thing was said about Twitter two years ago.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, oh I remember all that failwhale too, I was there, at least near the beginning. However, the good news is that Pharma tweeps are gradually seeing the benefit of FF, like this tweet: How to Use FriendFeed to Organize & Enhance Twitter Chats #hcsm #hcmktg - http://bit.ly/AitSp but for me, it needs to be more mainstream to be really useful.
- Sally Church
Trent: search is killer. But most people don't yet see that. They will when they start looking for their old Tweets.
- Robert Scoble
Robert if you have so much against, Twitter why do you use the service?
- Matt Ruiz
Matt: same reason Sally gave: my friends are on it.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: I have the exact same reason as well.
- Amir
Matt: we are locked into Twitter by our friends. That's what kept us on Twitter, even as Jaiku and Pownce and others came out and tried to rip us away. They failed because until we move all of our friends over we can't leave.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: When you say you don't see Friendfeed going mainstream, do you think that is for the better?
- Amir
Amir: no. For FriendFeed to be viable as a business long term they need to get more people in here. But I think that FriendFeed can take a lot more mainstream than Twitter can. It's architected better from the ground up (for instance, Twitter has been promising me groups for three years, it hasn't delivered yet).
- Robert Scoble
Granularity, Zoom in Detail, For Example photo sharing on Flickr, your faves show up here. Zooming in on someones Google Reader can show you deep insights to highly filtered petabytes of data. Conversational discussions that provide real time Wide Band Delphi technique across a wide spectrum of diverse perspectives......
- Robert Higgins
Jake: because professional content developers can't make money here.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: that's the key difference. I don't care about old tweets. It's about the now - I treat it the same way I do random snippets of conversation in the pub, general chatting, those aren't retrievable. The friend thing is very strong as well, there's far more original comments on twitter
- Rachel Clarke
And pros can't "brand" themselves here, like they can on their blogs. Think about Mashable or TechCrunch. Could they move their businesses here? No way.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Is what you're trying to say is that Friendfeed is more sustainable and could satisfy I larger capacity than Twitter? If yes, than I agree.
- Amir
Thats great point . But the authenticity of FriendFeed removes the influence peddling, you see on Techcrunch
- Robert Higgins
Robert: When Twitter promised you groups, I think that may be the hashtag feature ;-). If so than that is total crap!
- Amir
Rachel: I'm tracking Twitter very closely. The original content there is being matched by FriendFeed's geek community pretty closely. Outside the geek community it's way behind. I'm not too worried about that, it will come here as brands figure out that Twitter isn't a great place for them. As for finding old tweets, you will want to do that someday and then Twitter will really piss you off. Amir: that's exactly what I'm saying.
- Robert Scoble
Twitter was launched with Groups IN Japan
- Robert Higgins
One of the only things that keeps me on Twitter: SMS - like it or not, that's Twitter's strength.
- Jesse Stay
Amir: no, hashtags aren't groups. Groups are like what we have here in FriendFeed or in TweetDeck/Seesmic/PeopleBrowsr.
- Robert Scoble
The ability to edit comments and no 140 character limitation amongst others are reasons why FriendFeed is SO much better than Twitter. I would also argue FriendFeed is just as easy to use as Twitter if you ignore the extras. Twitter was the first garnish market share but it has gotten lazy and rested on its laurels just because it can. http://www.blogbloke.com/twitter...
- BLOGBloke
Robert: admittedly 95% of the blogging world aren't professionals, so it's still applicable :)
- CannonGod
Robert: Yeah I know, but try telling that to Twitter ;-)
- Amir
Jesse: yes, FriendFeed is definitely pulling a futuristic play by only caring about iPhone so far. That will take longer to pay off. Right now most of the world is SMS so you're right. But on the other hand, by FriendFeed saying hell with that we have YouTube videos here inline.
- Robert Scoble
Amir: You make a valid point.
- © b e e n s w a n k
Rachel Clarke: Twitter didn't used to be ephemeral and that's just Scoble's point! Most of us early adopters loved it for it's pseudo-real time conversation with functionality like track and search which ultimately died when the masses arrived. It was those early adopters that "made" twitter, and trust me that they will also ultimately make friendfeed.
- Chris Aldrich
Robert, yeah - I'm not saying it's keeping me from using FriendFeed, but when I don't have an internet connection, Twitter is what I'll use. Not sure that's going to change for quite awhile. The technology for SMS is so simple it's the most effective means of communication for sending short status updates
- Jesse Stay
How is Freindfeed going to monetize?
- Robert Higgins
Brandon: A simple explanation to Twitter's user-base is that we all signed up thinking that we were gonna get what we were hoping. But that didn't happen so all our friends joined and that's what keeps us on it til this day, all our friends are using it. Kind of like what Robert Scoble said.
- Amir
That said, FriendFeed is indeed taking the long-term strategy, and will be effective at it. I don't think their bet that SMS is dead is a correct one though.
- Jesse Stay
Chris: I don't think early adopters are enough to make FriendFeed. We need a few things for professional content types, especially at corporations. Things like: 1. brand control. Can Coke make its room all red with its logo, for instance? 2. Better choices on display, my friends keep complaining that they can't see a strict river of news (me too). 3. More features for rooms, I'd like a...
more...
- Robert Scoble
Chris: given I've been on Twitter for a long long time, I'm an early adopter. But I didn't use it for those means then, I've tended to use it consistently as a status mean. It's all about choice, how you use it. The lovely thing about tech is you can use things differently and still get value out of them
- Rachel Clarke
What's interesting is Rachel is a web marketer for lots of big companies. She has a good sense of what it will take to get brands interested. Part of that is getting a bigger audience, but part of it is also brand control and all that.
- Robert Scoble
Robert Higgins: This is why users can share from their site on FriendFeed. You'll still drive more people to your site to read/watch content. FriendFeed just makes an excellent host for a comment system/community. By default, FriendFeed is Twitter, and Twitter is already proven to make ppl money.
- CannonGod
Jesse: That's just one example of how accessibility is important to the end user. I only visit FF from my PC. But I do most of my micro-blogging and the like from my mobile device. Sure they offer a web application for iPhone/Android users but that's not sufficient enough.
- © b e e n s w a n k
Arrrgh now a bunch of bots are RT Robert's original FF post on Twitter and I get all the @maverickny copies... ungh that is a big downside of Twitter
- Sally Church
Robert...agree. Putting on the professional hat rather than the private usage hat, Twitter is has far more 'comfort' for brands in the way they can use it. Not saying companies aren't using Friendfeed, but it will need to have more ways of branding AND get a LOT more buzz for the average brand to use. Then again, some companies are just about understanding what a blog is, so don;t hold your breath
- Rachel Clarke
I suppose the only ass-hat thing you can do on FriendFeed is BUMP >:D
- CannonGod
Here is a great example of how FriendFeed's search dominates Twitter. Compare these two sites: http://friendfeed.com/search... and http://search.twitter.com. See what I'm saying?
- Amir
A lot of Pharma companies are asking me about social media strategy - given the choice of FF, Twitter and Facebook, it would be hard to recommend FF, especially if those ghastly pics keep appearing in one's stream.
- Sally Church
Also would Twitter ever make a conversation like this amongst 20 people realistically feasible? I understand the corporate uses you're talking about Robert, but corporations didn't really start to get into Twitter until late 2008/early 2009 when Twitter went mainstream; honestly most corporations aren't really using it heavily or effectively yet even now. Perhaps they're gunshy after the debacle that SecondLife became.
- Chris Aldrich
Brandon, it has to do with internet connection. There is still not sufficient broadband internet everywhere, and because of that the iPhone app or web browser just isn't enough. Or, in an emergency when the airwaves get saturated, SMS provides a very simple, short way of getting a message through that doesn't clutter up the other channels. Relying on an internet connection to do that isn't a valid solution.
- Jesse Stay
One thing I can say about FF, it definitely sucks you into a conversation far more than Twitter because of the real-time nature. but I have to sleep!
- Rachel Clarke
The big thing really holding FF down at the moment is the dearth of applications one can use to interface with it! And it's much tougher to design those applications given the greater number of ways one can use it. For the corporate marketer, however, there's a much richer conversational experience one can have here over Twitter with inline audio, video, photos, and no restriction on message size.
- Chris Aldrich
Chris: The thought of having a lengthy debate over Twitter scares me =_= Twitter is essentially the first point of contact which then drives people to a page to talk more about a topic. Much like what Robert does with his Twitter + FriendFeed.

Jesse: I was using previous comment as an example to illustrate how convenient accessing/publishing content on Twitter can be. FF just isn't convenient, in my opinion. To make a service of this nature more attractive you have to make it convenient and practical.
- © b e e n s w a n k
Jake: yes, using both Twitter and FriendFeed together is very powerful. I'm surprised more aren't doing it.
- Robert Scoble
You can get FF-SMS by filtering and forwarding FriendFeed emails to SMS via an email-to-SMS gateway (most carriers have an email address associated with your mobile number that will route the message to your SMS).
- LogEx
Logical: The fact is that most ppl won't be prepared to go through all that. It needs to work out of the box.
- CannonGod
Amir: To be fair, one should've have provided this link http://search.twitter.com/advance... in reference to Twitter when comparing the two search engines. But, I see what you're saying.
- © b e e n s w a n k
This thread right here is why FriendFeed rocks. Debating with intelligible ppl over the internet who aren't likely following me on Twitter. FF branches out to a wider audience than Twitter. Perhaps that's what scares them...
- CannonGod
Brandon: Ooops! Sorry, I meant to post that URL too. I should have also posted the search results ;-)
- Amir
Jake: totally. When you are on Twitter and you want to be directed to a certain audience or group of users you still seem to have crap in you stream. Great example is Twitter search.
- Amir
Brandon+Amir: FriendFeed has search all over the place not just limited to the search box. Clicking my profile yields conversations I've had, things I've liked, searching within THOSE posts. It's flat out more intuitive than Twitter. This is why it's spawned so many 3rd Party Apps to make sense of all the tweets :-P
- CannonGod
Sally, if it's just about eyeballs, then Facebook has to be your recommendation. I'm curious how many of the 9 million + Twitter accounts are sitting dormant and unused right now? I'll bet it's a smaller percentage than FB. There has to be a more compelling reason to keep coming back to the service. Twitter was great once and although there's more discussion there now on a broader range of topics they've killed off too many of it's best features.
- Chris Aldrich
I just wish I could @username or similar in FF, or better yet allow me to reply directly to a comment and have that create a thread :)
- CannonGod
Jake: Yep! To get half-decent Twitter search results you have to use a 3rd party service/app [like http://monitter.com]. But with FriendFeed the ease of search is built right in.
- Amir
Chris: FriendFeed suffers a similar fate as Twitter, dormant accounts created that mindlessly aggregate their content and create a virtual garbage dump :( This is why I've deleted all my online profiles to stop spamming ppl on FF and watering down my content...
- CannonGod
Jake: That would be terrific, probably one of the limited great ideas by Twitter :-)
- Amir
Jake: Excellent points. My concern is the lack of client applications. The lack of adaptation. [Among other things.] There's no denying which is the more valuable and reliable resource.
- © b e e n s w a n k
Jake: They are not all mindless. I still get good content from static accounts. The content is there , but the interaction is not. Kind of defeats the purpose of FriendFeed, in a way. I still get great content.
- Amir
Brandon+Holden: Agree fully. People who have static/dormant account get the wrong idea of FF and pass that idea onto there buddies. Not good for Friendfeed adaptation.
- Amir
Amir: I guess that's what I meant to say. Interaction is paramount.
- CannonGod
I tweet on behalf of one of the largest University presences on Twitter right now, and I'd give my left arm to move that entire audience to FF for the much better interface and richness of content that's going on here. It would help drastically too if FF had a richer set of tools with which to integrate with it. From a marketing standpoint having better search functionality also makes...
more...
- Chris Aldrich
Jake: Yes, that's why Friendfeed has that edge. Because of the interaction that you don't get on Twitter.
- Amir
Amir: I'm sure you'd agree that the lack of interaction is due to the limited accessibility.
- © b e e n s w a n k
Brandon: Definitely. But that brings us back to our discussion earlier.
- Amir
Jake + Amir: True, we wouldn't be having this discussion on Twitter. I would've lost interest like 20 @'s ago.
- © b e e n s w a n k
If you're interested in this topic have a look through some of my previous posts. Would be interested in what you have to say :)
- CannonGod
Brandon: For the most part this is why Twitter is full of blow-hards. Ppl all too desperate to '@' someone else and get a conversation started, which then never sees a conclusion?! People don't want to discuss shit, they just want to be SEEN to be discussing shit. V.annoying >:\
- CannonGod
I also find that when I wanted to talk to big names on Twitter who I can't DM, I have a tough time getting through to them. They see tons of @replies per hour. The chances of being noticed is tiny.
- Amir
[Above] Which is why I have given up on Twitter's conversation.
- Amir
Jake: True, true. It's damn near impossible to truly engage with others on Twitter. It's like trying to have a conversation in a crowded bar.
- © b e e n s w a n k
Here is a quick way of comparison: Twitter is all about myself; FriendFeed is all about the community, interaction, communication, and still a little bit for myself.
- Amir
Brandon: Worse, a night-club ;-)
- Amir
I've been thinking about making one of those Common Craft videos to actually explain what FriendFeed is capable of. Mostly to get friends on Twitter using FriendFeed more :-P
- CannonGod
Jake: We should talk to Lee LeFever. I'm sure he'd be happy after we show him this conversation ;-)
- Amir
Side note: How about this FF e-mail notifications!

Anyone think that real-time is in Twitter's future?
- Amir
I think that if it does it will be like a clogged artery ;-)
- Amir
Amir: Of course.
- © b e e n s w a n k
Most people don't care that much about Real-Time except for the nerds. Most people will be happy waiting 3 mins to know something. Not me! >:D
- CannonGod
I'm thinking FF needs to add another "comment" button at the bottom of long conversations like this for ease of use...
- Chris Aldrich
Jake: I'm not really a nerd or a geek but I still love real-time and you can find me on FriendFeed. Isn't that something? :-)
- Amir
I just need that cerebral implant that allows me to browse the internet using my mind + real-time = HAPPY!
- CannonGod
Chris: In the conversation the comment box stays open the whole time. Even after I post a comment.
- Amir
Chris: I'm using this page to comment on because it does: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei...
- CannonGod
Anyone else think there's only 3 of us left?
- CannonGod
Jake + Amir: Lack of real-time is why I rarely access Twitter via web.

While Twitter is like social SMS, FriendFeed is like social MSN. Chatlogs saved and open to all :)

but the question is how fast does google capture data form timeline?
- Veetrag
Veetrag: in minutes, is my experience. No longer than a day, for sure.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert I noticed that too, but I believe its because we write much more than 140 characters. So Google wouldn't have tweaked algorithm for it.
- Veetrag
By the way, Murphy Goode really screwed up a good thing. Here's Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3 on the item: http://louderback.com/2009...
- Robert Scoble
That fact that a FF post can be #1 for an arbitrary set of multiple keywords doesn't prove the general fact.
- Gary
Veetrag: I think Google is watching the real time engines closer and closer every day.
- Robert Scoble
Gary: no, but I can find dozens of examples like this.
- Robert Scoble
Do you realize how many clicks it took me to get to that tweet?
- Rochelle
Rochelle: what Tweet?
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Thanks for the info. Do you have any idea how soon does that information becomes obselete? Does Google have infinite storage/indexing capacity.
- Veetrag
Veetrag: I believe so, yes! Heheh.
- Robert Scoble
Google has posts of mine from years ago still in its index.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: One more question, does Google give more importance to information from people with more followers? If so, they have to tweak algorithm for every service.
- Veetrag
I agree Robert. I have even seen friendfeed post's higher than the actual blog post there about.
- TheHenry
Veetrag: I don't think so. But they DO give more importance to items that have more inbound links. So I bet getting retweeted helps.
- Robert Scoble
True, blog posts can remain forever. but these sites are generating content at much faster rate. And we have many more services.
- Veetrag
TheHenry: me too. Veetrag: Twitter generates 10Gigs of new data per day. That's nothing for Google to swallow. Google has many hundreds of thousands of computers and maybe more than a million. Not a problem at all.
- Robert Scoble
My FriendFeed posts on Google seem to climb and fall; it's not obvious why. It's also strange that I get Google Alerts on my alert topics when I tweet on it, but not from Friendfeed.
- Keith Barrett
So I need to start posting my blog posts here? Sheesh! :)
- Sid Burgess
Dont you think, posts with more 'likes' should get higher priority too? Or they are already doing it.
- Veetrag
Dozens of examples doesn't mean much when there are billions of keyword combination. If FF has the only use of a particular set of keywords, then it will rank by default.
- Gary
I noticed this a while back. My last big Flickr upload was a Merced roller derby bout. My FF post is number 2 after Flickr. http://www.google.com/search...
- Russellreno
Cool, I guess. Puts 1 google to rule them all back in an agile search play.
- Robert Higgins
Gary: OK, fine, how would you like to demonstrate which site will get you Google juice? Personally it all depends on what gets linked to. Or did you forget my "brrreeeport test" of Google? http://www.google.com/search... where I made up a fake word and got people to link to see what would happen?
- Robert Scoble
I have said earlier,my friendfeed post appeared within 48 hours in Google search. This was two months ago.
- ashish
Veetrag: I bet more likes get more Google Juice. Why? More pages are linking to the original item.
- Robert Scoble
I'm not saying FF has zero juice. I'm sure it is a value greater than zero, but I because anything can be posted by anyone, it would be hard for Google to give it much authority. If it did FF would instantly become a spam magnet. If a trend was started on FF and was later picked up by blogs, I'm sure the FF post wouldn't rank as high as the blogs.

Robert, I clicked on your link above which led me to Google search results. I clicked on the first result which was to a post of your with a link to Leo's FF. I clicked on that link to get to Leo's FF post, which was a link to Digg. I clicked on that and went to Digg which was a link to martinsargent's Twitter account.
- Rochelle
Rochelle: even better, it's a full employment act for content producers because you need to click six times to get what should take one. Fair point! :-)
- Robert Scoble
Gary: you're wrong. Google knows which FriendFeeder has more inbound links. My pagerank here is seven. What's yours?
- Robert Scoble
Gary: you are wrong, twice. I have seen quite a few places where FriendFeed gets higher ranked than the blog. It makes sense, because the FriendFeed item is getting linked to by lots of people and the blog isn't (I often link here, because the conversation is worth linking to).
- Robert Scoble
I've noticed. My Friendfeed page shows up in a search for my name at about position 3 or 4 whereas for years the first instance of my actual self would show up around page 4. I'm not a content producer nor a particularly active person, so I figured it was FF picking up steam.
- Rob Haas
Gary: finally, FriendFeed is going to prove to be very resistant to spam for a whole lot of reasons, most of which I won't go into here because I don't want spammers to figure out ways around the resistance. But for one, if you block someone here it is a COMPLETE block, not half assed like over on Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
Robert what exactly were the terms of the contest? Did it expressly say something to the effect that interviews were guaranteed by public vote, influenced by public vote or just that they asked the public to vote?
- Melanie Reed
Melanie: they asked the public to vote and then, apparently, didn't care what the public said.
- Robert Scoble
Robert thanks for clarifying. Well, they're off the hook legally. But they simply didn't understand the implied "rules" of SM, which, let's face it, can be intimidating for the uninitiated. I have no background on how "initiated" the MG SM team were but it is possible, indeed, appears plausible that they didn't even expect that much feedback. Which only goes to show that perhaps many in...

Melanie: yeah, you really need to read Jim Louderback (Revision 3's CEO) take on it: http://louderback.com/2009...
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Yes. This was about "hearing the message" in the public dialogue that all good advertising campaigns should understand. It just happens faster on the Internet. And it recalls parallels in the "Palace vs. the Death of Princess Diana and the Public Reaction" dilemma. If I was going to teach a SM class to Enterprise SM teams, I would start there with elements they could relate to and then progress to the Murphy-Goode Affair. ;)
- Melanie Reed
FriendFeed ranks very well for me and often appears higher than my blog; however, since my blog is relatively new and fast-growing, those results are changing. My blog posts appear here in FriendFeed in near real-time, then get tweeted out with FF URLs re-directing back to my blog, so I am leveraging FriendFeed's Google juice to promote my blog's ranking and it is working! FriendFeed is one of my top inbound link referrers to my blog - Yay! :)

Craig - MindManager is integrated with the web in several ways - embedded web browser, web services, RSS feeds, and more. For instance, you can drag and drop a google doc right onto your map and then edit the content inside MindManager while viewing your map. This lets you flush out your thinking and then reference it while writing. Very powerful combination.

I got super amped on MM 2 years ago, used it every day for projects, then I kind of stopped. I found I did not return to the work that often and it would drift out. This is not a criticism, I just brainstorm on 3x5 cards faster now and then move to UI apps or whatever. But MM is definitely the best app. Even though we are in a web 2.x world, this workflow works best in desktop apps then pushed to web for collaboration. Hope I can slowly return to mapping in it again.
