@robie: non ho capito, puoi spiegarti meglio?
- Luca Sartoni
molto interessante, Luca. in fondo quello che affermi nn è molto lontano dalle caratteristiche del buon giornalismo. io credo che un serio blogger dovrebbe rispettare le regole che rispetta ( o dovrebbe rispettare) un serio giornalista
- Franci
Luca niente lascia fare, ho interpretato male io. Per alcuni lavori credo sia essenziale non comparire su 123people o google, perché l'analisi sul mio blog o sul mio twitter potrebbe essere molto superficiale ed essenzialmente inutile per valutare la professinalità di cui la società ha bisogno e che io posso offrire al di fuori del me stesso durante il tempo libero, tutto lì
- Robie
Vascellari è un grande. Ci stiamo divertendo moltissimo :)
- Luca Sartoni
fa specie leggere quelle parole dette dal premier rumeno e contemporaneamente vedere che i nostri governanti pensano all'espansione della banda larga in termini di cantieri e appalti.
- Lawrence Oluyede
se avete letto bene quello che è stato detto vi sarete accorti che sono tutti ossimori, niente regole perchè si lascia tutto alla responsabilità degli utenti, vorrei sapere dopo quante canne è nata sta stronzata galattica
- wolly
dopo glielo chiedo, vediamo cosa risponde.
- Luca Sartoni
Cheers everyone! @Sara: ehh si sono un po' piu' giovane ;) @Luca: (blush)

(uddio Andrea, scusa, non pensavo sapessi l'italiano: la mia era una considerazione tra amici :)

@saramaternini non ti preoccupare, ci sono io che faccio le tue PR con Andrea :)

Davide, guardo al 2010 perché di 2009 standard, casa/lavoro, c'è rimasto circa un mese, poi volo via in un'altra dimensione, che mi godrò attimo per attimo :-D
- Luca Conti
una dimensione senza questa classe politica al governo?
- bezdomnyj82
per fortuna questo Governo non governa il mondo :-) fuori dai confini italiani non ha giurisdizione ;-)

Thank you to my 50,002 followers. Look through my followers here and compare to my Twitter followers and what do you notice? I see fewer spammers. Fewer bots. Fewer social media experts. Thanks for joining me on FriendFeed! It has been an awesome two years!
You're welcome ;-) A question though, where do you think we geeks will congregate next? I'm thinking that since Facebook now owns the Friendfeed devs, FF will eventually starve to death... hopefully not.
- Roberto Teixeira
But I notice a lot of users interact on FF via Twitter not directly on FF. Also FF faces tough competition from the likes of Posterous and Tumblr which offer more functionality with similar ease of use as FF.
- Roger
Roberto: Not so long ago this very FF post from scobleizer would get something about 300+ likes and 150+ comments. Sadly, FF users are surely looking elsewhere.
- Arvind
FF is ok, but its not the be all and end all Robert.
- Micky
I too think that friendfeed is still a winner... people that left just filtered themselves out of my conversations. They are no longer discoverable here to me. Their loss (imho)
- Chris Heath
Your welcome :). Friendfeed really really is awesome
- alfred westerveld
Yes Robert and Friendfeed is massively technically superior - Makes it even sadder that the platform here's being ignored by the new owners.
- Jim Connolly
Still the best place for discovery to me despite less interaction.
- Eric Logan
Robert - I love the community and friends here on FriendFeed. I am so happy I was on FF in early 2008 and got to experience it's wild and wooly growth path. Chatting with you and all these cool geeks is really fun. I've learned TONS from you guys and I truly appreciate the friendship too! :)
- Susan Beebe
I agree, way less marketing gurus and spammers =)
- Brodie Beta
Wewt! We are awesome, especially me </ego>
- Danny Minick
In my experience, I've been using ff more rather than less since the fb aquisition. I don't see why I would migrate to another community ATM. To me, Friendfeed is king. :) King of social media, that is.
- 'Like' robot (frɐnc)
Me, I'm sticking with FF for the foreseeable future. I'm even going to do my part to promote it, at least to my (right now) 1K+ Twitter followers.
- Dennis Jernberg
Friend Feed is the Future Robert and you just may be our Faithfull leader! :)
- PeaceMakersInc
Thank you, Robert. I have learned quite a bit from you-and you have created/moderated some tremendous discussions/issues. Best wishes to you and your family.
- Harold Cabezas
LOL. I agree. I have 413 followers on Twitter. When I ask a question, I get no responses. Same here. Does nobody like me?
- Zachary TG
zachary check their subscriptions against their subscribers and you might have an answer there
- ffcode
yup! there is a decline...don't know what friendfeeders are upto...foursquare might not be the complete answer
- ffcode
I'm still here. I tried doing the Google Reader thing. While it's a great reader, I think it SUCKS as a social platform. I still use it, but I don't expect as much out of it as I used to. FriendFeed and posterous are what I like best for what I do. Facebook is getting a little chaotic for me. I've made lists, but I think I need to start pruning... LONG LIVE FRIENDFEED!
- Kimber Scott
U do like normal folks like us, who does have a life, like having hobbies such as movies, taking pictures, making jokes and listening 2 old radio jokes on the Internet lol...and wondering why spell check doesn't work somedays
- polou/indigo_bow
Has it really been 2 years? OMG that was fast.
- Elliott Ng
ROFL! No bots; just wait! The bots are coming, they always come.
- Brandon Smietana
In twenty years I would be surprised if the bots were not more human than the humans. "Statistical Natural Language Processing: When Humans Fail the Turing Test", coming to a research journal near you!
- Brandon Smietana
Why should you abandon FriendFeed just because they were acquired? The features are still the same, the friends are the same. It's certainly doing a disservice to the FF team as they work on a FB integration. If all leave FF due to new owners, then there's nothing left to integrate. I'm staying until they pull the plug (but frankly not sure if I want to join FB).
- Nils Sandin
I think its true, quite a few people are posting less then they used to and some have stopped posting here all together. But I think that says more about the users than it does the service they have all but abandoned. If the development team behind FF had some how managed to keep the sale to Facebook a secret, most of those people would probably still be here.
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
Nils: because I invest my time on systems that WILL BE not that "ARE." The FriendFeed team has already been moved to other projects, so we won't be seeing new features. I like FriendFeed and will continue to come here, but I am spending my time on systems that are getting active development and that will be improved in the future. Twitter, for instance, has 75 people working on it. Facebook? 200 engineers and 1000 employees. But, seriously, I go where the geeks go and they are here less and less.
- Robert Scoble
Robert so where are you now? Where do you spent your time? Where are the geeks now?
- Roldano De Persio of FF
Roldano: I'm here and on Twitter, mostly. But the geeks have spread their usage out, and it's hard to see any one place they are coalescing. Facebook usage is definitely higher, so are things like Posterou s. But Twitter seems to be where the kinds of people I like to talk with are hanging out.
- Robert Scoble
Well I'm not moving until FF moves. It's a shame people have left or use it less. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
wow, interesting. I like Posterous, but can't see it as a replacement for FF - If anything I want to use FF more!
- Alistair (alpinefolk)
Agree. I'll only move if I have to. What's changed after the FB buy-out? Nothing so far. Sure, we're not going to get any new features but I'm quite happy with what FF provides. More importantly the community is still here, all my new friends. If they ALL move somewhere else then I'll go there but they all seem to be sticking around thankfully! If the geeks are leaving then that leaves us normals then, right? :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Twitter is no alternative to FF. There are some pretenders but they are no where near FF atm.
- Kol Tregaskes
FriendFeed and Posterous are totally complementary. Twitter and FF less so.
- Bruce Lewis
The growth of Posterous is most likely due to the fact that it sets itself up as a hub "pushes" content out to other services (bringing traffic back), while Friendfeed essentially pulls info in and has to build its own internal traffic (I know it can post content but most don't seem to). - That said, Friendfeed has the best social aspect of any service that I use.
- Alistair (alpinefolk)
Alistair, that's the best summary I have heard yet.
- Steve Rubel

Posterous is a fabulous content blaster :) whereas FF is a fabulous content aggregator!
- Susan Beebe
One can argue that FF built it's traffic on aggregation of other traffic. It pulls in feeds of content on other services, while very minimally introducing new, interesting content to the web. Whereas Posterous introduces new, rich, interesting content by making it easier than ever to post. Autopost actually *reduces* how much traffic comes back to Posterous, because we allow you to post to other places. (this is just speculation. There are two sides to this game, and Posterous focuses on NEW content)
- Sachin Agarwal
Posterous and FF go perfectly together for me. I also use Google Reader, though mainly to share (I haven't given or gotten many comments there). As for Twitter (my main addiction, even more than coffee), FF has entirely replaced bit.ly for me, for one thing. I use all four together.
- Dennis Jernberg
I have to agree with Susan Beebe: I'm not sure how one could consider FF and posterous to be direct competitors, where one could fully replace the other. FF solves the problem of using the best tool for the job (blogs for writing, photo sharing sites for photos, etc) and aggregating everything into one place. Posterous solves the problem of updating different sites with the same content. Really, posterous's killer feature is the email-to-post functionality without having an account.
- Andy Bakun
@Sachin, does duplicate posting of content penalize you on Google? I have heard that it can for blogs, say.
- Steve Rubel
from email
posterous is great but still it is only a blog with features of one mail ID for post by mail...and have followers etc...but still it is only a blog...though with its features it might be among the top blogging platforms...

holistically meaning across departments-- as opposite to holistic marketing (melding social media with traditional components-- in any department) Meld the two, I think that would be a cool 3-D graphic
