Not long to go! - Andrew Trinh

And what a fine one it is! Congrats - Michael Fidler

it'd definitely going to take me a while to get to a million. I'm publishing about 200 photos to flickr a week right now and at this pace it will take 92 years to get there. I'll get the pace up to 400-500 a week in the future though. Better technology should make processing easier and someday my kids will be grown and I'll be able to quit my day job and focus on this even more. The best photos have yet to be taken. - Thomas Hawk

When I think about this I realize your best days are ahead of you. - Russellreno

That is a great photo - Darin aka iGoByDoc

What's your shot/publish ratio? I mean, on average how many shots do you take to produce those you publish? - Yuval Atzmon

atzmon, I probably average about 2,000 shots a week that I shoot. And I'm probably processing 300 or so of those a week at present, so I'm probably keeping about 15%. The other 85% never get processed and are kept in my archives. I'm trying only to process and publish the shots that I think meet a certain quality criteria. - Thomas Hawk

You upload a lot more than I do. I have about 40,000 pictures but only about 2000 uploaded. Mostly because I have not gotten around to processing more. =) - Jauder Ho from twhirl

Wow and Congrats!! - Vox

Dude, you're a machine. - Zee.

Jauder, the good news is that processing will only get easier in the future. I've watched it get better with each successive Adobe release. Lightroom 2.0 is the best processing tool yet. It's not necessarily faster per se though because with more tools there are yet even more ways to tweak a photo hence even more time. But the tools to speed things up are coming too. auto geotagging, better anti dust tech, faster processing speeds, easier online tools with faster broadband are all around the corner. - Thomas Hawk

16,000 ?? Yikes. Cool number. Congrats. - Charlie Anzman

big numbers don't mean squat - Ivan Pope from twhirl

big numbers means someone (Thomas) is dedicated to his art. He is pretty talented as well! - Michael VanDervort from twhirl

Perseverance furthers. - Michael Markman

This photo is total awesome. It is made even more awesome by the knowledge that there are 15,999 more photos just as awesome as this one. EDIT: This photo is now my desktop background. :) - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

@thomas: Yahoo should be giving Flickr to you for free. You'd do a great job with it. And it would be historical: the first user-generated (company) acquisition :))) - Alberto D'Ottavi from fftogo

For 1M images you could do a multi-part movie (1080p) miniseries averaging an hour per episode. - Jay Cuthrell

I guess the metier of 'photo editor' is kaput...or, at least, greatly altered.... - Chris Gulker

You know they are going to delete your account without warning once you hit 999,999, right? :) - Ace

Ace, I hope not, I'd be so pissed. Actually I think alot of what gets me so upset about all the content/account deletion issues is that I really do worry that it actually will happen to me. Flickr staff hates me and they'd *love* to delete my account. I worry that I'll wake up one morning and everything will have been nuked. I suppose that's why I'd like to see them enact the ability to... more... - Thomas Hawk

Holyshit! You have taked just couple of photos... - k00pa

Why your flickr page says 28,974 items ? - k00pa

Because this post is from September last year k00pa :) - Simon Wicks

@Chris Gulker. Someday I hope to work with a photo editor. God knows I need to. I like to think of my Flickrstream today more as the raw material in a lot of ways for future projects. A good photo editor adds tremendous value to shaping a photographer's imagery. - Thomas Hawk

Promises ? - johnpiercy

you are the one who keeps proclaiming its death - Mark

That's what Compaq said when they purchased DEC. (for those of you old enough to remember) - RobinDotNet

A promise is not a guarantee. - Amit Morson

Such a tease, Robert. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

More smoke-blowing. I don't care of Paul swore on the graves of his ancestors. Actions speak louder than words. Some vague promise to a group of people I'm excluded from doesn't do much to assuage my unease. - Akiva Moskovitz

Akiva, you're right, but it's not smoke. - Louis Gray

Okay, Louis, true. I retract that first sentence. The rest of it, however, I'm sticking by. - Akiva Moskovitz

Akiva: well I feel a lot better about things today. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Continue just as it is? Or with key changes? - Karma Martell

I would expect them to post more on this topic soon - on their personal blogs. - Louis Gray

If that's what Paul wants to promise us, he needs to release some kind of official statement, not send a message through Robert. - Rochelle

Soon. - Louis Gray

I bet you as part of the contract, its in there not to shut this down - Stephen Pickering

Rochelle: there are too many unknowns to make a definitive statement yet. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

keeping my hopes up. but i do remember working at a few radio stations that were bought, we'd get a memo saying 'the format is not going to change' about three weeks before we switched to spanish. i think there is just too much here for ff to vanish. keep the dream alive! - michael sean wright

How can he when it`s lost all of its autonomy? Supplanted by Facebook, bought outright no? - sofarsoShawn

It couldve been part of the deal not to let the site die - Stephen Pickering

Robert, like you said, one can hope. However both of us know how corporates work and it takes one small decision from share holders to close down the service, no matter what. - Nir Ben Yona

They want to get to Facebook and get those unknowns nailed down first. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Holden and Rochelle, etc., let's be patient. If you see the post I put up last night and add Robert's comments here, we should be feeling a lot better today than we did on Monday. - Louis Gray

Robert, all right. Well, after my initial freak-out over this, I've gone into complete wait-and-see mode. More of these vague promises and 'coming soon' messages don't really do much for me. When someone say something definitive, then I'll be there to consume it. The rest of this just doesn't add up for much. - Akiva Moskovitz

That was a great post Louis - Stephen Pickering

Thanks, Stephen. I thought it was important. - Louis Gray

Akiva, exactly, waiting for official word. - Kol Tregaskes

Nir: the way it was told to me contractually it can't be closed down anytime soon. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

I hope they don't change it so you have to have a Facebook account to use it. I have one, but share it with very few; I use Twitter and FF for everyone. I want to be able to use it the way I do now. - RobinDotNet

Like any takeover/merger, some details just take time to work out. Hopefully FF can stay around in some form and help make FB better. We'll just have to wait and see. Thanks, Robert, for the info. - Mark Edwards

I agree, we haven`t seen anything substantive in the way of contract etc but fingers crossed. - sofarsoShawn

But doesn't mean it won't be shutdown at some point? - Kol Tregaskes

And, Louis, I didn't see your post from last night but I'll read it as soon as I get back from the store. - Akiva Moskovitz

was Pownce a bit like Friendfeed? I never used it - Mark

I can't get my hopes up when Facebook is in the picture. :-( - Jannifer @wordsforliving

I am very happy to hear that! I hope it gets bigger than Twitter. It's a much better service. - Sam Guzman

Stable Door and Horse comes to mind. - Kevin J Hatton

The fact that the FF folks haven't yet said "This is how we want it, so this is how it's going to be" is just evidence that they don't have the final say on the matter. If it's subject to some additional authority/approval, nothing is certain at this point. - Ken Sheppardson

Kol: it won't be shut down anytime soon. He was quite clear about that. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Kol, the truth is they work for Facebook now, and therefore, FriendFeed can/will change, and it may not change 100% how you and I want. It may be part of Facebook's site later, and it may not. But Facebook is changing from what we know of it now to something new where they overlap. - Louis Gray

In other words that was in the contract. Makes sense, since they were hesitant anyway - Stephen Pickering

Robert, OK but maybe at some point though. - Kol Tregaskes

I sure would like it if FF continued indefinitely. - Jason Nunnelley

Kol: nothing in life is guaranteed. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Patience is a good thing. That said, if FriendFeed wasn't growing at a rate much higher than it has been, something would have to change. You don't bottle up such talent and experience and have it work on a product that was losing. - Louis Gray

Robert, What about death and taxes? - RobinDotNet

Good to hear. I am sure they will take time to decide what exactly to do with FF. How to integrate them together. What to do etc. FF the R&D for FB I think it could be - Robert Anderson

Robert, true. All a bit vague still though. - Kol Tregaskes

Scoble: encourage Facebook to keep FriendFeed as a premium brand. Let them tie it to Facebook data or whatever, but keep the system separate. - Gary

Louis, right, this gives them legitimacy and exposure - Stephen Pickering

Kol... if they wanted to grow they way they "deserved" to grow, this place would have changed underneath your feet to something you might hate. This is one way to put real capital and people behind the site as it is now. - Louis Gray

So what? Do they continue try to grow friendfeed as an individual product? Or do they just leave it alive for those of us who actually use it? - Sam Guzman

If this thing grows by leaps and bounds, FB is not going to close it - Stephen Pickering

Mark: anytime a blogger says something is dead ALL that means is that it is less interesting than yesterday. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Over time, we will learn, Sam. It's a classical marketing/engineering decision. Do you build for the current user base, or the potential user base? With change. some were bound to leave anyway. - Louis Gray

Louis, not arguing that at all. My point was about shutting it down or not. I'm at the wait-and-see stage, waiting for more news from FF. - Kol Tregaskes

And any time I write a headline that says it's NOT dead... maybe I know what I'm talking about. :) - Louis Gray

But this service grows more useful the more users there are - Stephen Pickering

Something needs to happen. Twitter is useless now - maybe a new denial of service attack. I would love to see the Friendfeed technology spread to the mass user base that Facebook has. - Frode Stenstrøm

Yeah, I understand. Maybe some of the extra publicity from the acquisition will lead to an increase in users...curious people signing up to see what it's all about. - Sam Guzman

Well, at least he acknowledged they messed up. - Rodfather

oh sweet, I just spent ages adding friendfeed people, setting up privacy and setting up FF to stream to my FB....now this might be a waste of time? - Franz Sittampalam from IM

Frode: that was what Paul told me too. He wants the tech here to be used by everyone. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

I don't understand why Google didn't buy it instead. - Jannifer @wordsforliving

Rod, FriendFeed has no PR or Marketing. Maybe if they did, this would have been handled differently. Some things come naturally, and others are hard. But I bet you will see a lot more soon. - Louis Gray

I've heard the same from another founder, Robert. - Anne Bouey

Franz, no official word, just wait for an announcement from FF. - Kol Tregaskes

They didn't want to work for google again. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Makes you wonder about a due diligence ckecklist and the speed of getting this deal done - courtney benson

Kinda why they left. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Right, look at Google Reader. They don't know how to do social - Stephen Pickering

It's all wonky and hard to understand - Stephen Pickering

But GR is going in that direction. - Kol Tregaskes

Companies come and companies go. They can go by closing their doors or by being acquired. Only time will tell whether FriendFeed has come and gone. - Jeff Sayre

Google Reader is nothing like FF. No one really uses the social features. - Sam Guzman

GR is trying, but its all wonky and totally un understandable - Stephen Pickering

Oh. I just don't trust Facebook at all and can barely stand using it after being here. - Jannifer @wordsforliving

Jannifer, I think we have to look beyond the caricatures of people like Zuckerberg, and recognize that he too may want the same things we do. Facebook is growing up and I bet FriendFeed and its team is a big part of that. - Louis Gray

Louis, hope so. - Kol Tregaskes

courtney: Paul talked about that too. He said once the team made the decision they knew it had to be closed overnight to prevent it from leaking. - Robert Scoble

Louis I think its a perfect marriage, genius engineers + genius Marketers - Stephen Pickering

Real real time would be awesome in Facebook. I really hope it comes soon. - Sam Guzman

Well, he didn't quite say "prevent it from leaking" but he said "it's important to do it all at once." I knew what he meant, though, that it had to be done fast to keep things from getting crazy, like they do once decisions like this get taken into public sphere. - Robert Scoble

I am sure paul is truthful in that he would like for it to go that way, but this is a M&A situation, and even if it is written into the agreement, there are a million ways around it. At the end of the day, shareholders make the rules in a majority vote. If ff isn't integrated in fb somehow, I fail to see how it benefits fb. - Erik Boles from iPhone

Kol: Paul was emphatic that Facebook is a far more interesting company at this time in both company's history. - Robert Scoble

Robert: Somehow this doesn't sound too convincing. If Friendfeed has been losing a LOT of regular users because of their deal with Facebook, they'd be concerned. Friendfeed is likely to get you to speak on their behalf, since you are their most popular user. Maybe Paul is trying to convince you, so that he can indirectly convince others too. That might save an early end to Friendfeed brought on by the rapid loss of users. - K N Ajit Narayan

I totally agree with Paul, by the way. Facebook is a much more interesting company to join right now than Google is. - Robert Scoble

Facebook = Microsoft 2.0 - scott anderson

Robert: Did he mention anything about Mashable reporting an acquisition had been talked about since `07? - sofarsoShawn

YAY! thanks Scoble for letting us know - i feel alot better today! - Chris Clayton

Hey, Microsoft had a decent run - Stephen Pickering

Louis: yeah, Zuckerberg is a lot smarter and a lot more down to earth than most of the press gives him credit for. He's always been straight up with me. Much better than other companies have treated me. - Robert Scoble

And that's even including getting kicked off of Facebook for 24 hours. - Robert Scoble

@ Scott, LOL Facebook = Microsoft 2.0! I see your point, but it far surpasses Microsoft Live attempt at a social network. - Nakeva Corothers

Erik: technologies that have great audiences don't get killed. If anything will kill it, it will be us. By leaving. - Robert Scoble

Robert, cool. Well if they can ditch a lot of their annoying features, like this FB Lite might be, then I might be interested in moving over with all the FF features implemented but I just can't work with FB in it's currently state. I had another go this weekend and still didn't like it. But I'd be even happier if FF stayed here. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

this is gonna be an interesting story to follow for sure. For now I am just using friendfeed the way I have been and see what comes out down the road. life is about changes. - (jeff)isageek

sofarsoShawn: I don't know what you're talking about regarding Mashable. - Robert Scoble

Maybe I missed it earlier in this thread but why can't they just come out and say something directly to the community? Obviously a lot of people are concerned and anxious about it... Why do we have to hear second-hand? And why has it all been so vague? No news is not necessarily good news in cases like this. - Fa La La La Lindsay

Robert, Leo called himself Leo Scoble today because he deleted his 5000 FB friends and moved them over to his fan page - Stephen Pickering

jeff: yeah. Visiting Facebook is going to get more interesting. He also said that the first month at Facebook (which starts Monday) will be all about learning about Facebook's code. So, no new features will come quickly. - Robert Scoble

Ok. I hope Facebook changes a LOT so it's more tolerable. Although I don't like it, I need to set up a good Facebook page for business so I can remain competitive. - Jannifer @wordsforliving

I hope they do right by you. You brought them to the party. I hope that gets recognized somehow monetarily. - Jim Posner

Saying that it might be shut down at some point doesn't tell us anything new, though; after all, any site might be shut down at some point due to going out of business etc. - Tristan Seligmann

When anything comes out of this it was always going to be long term. - Kol Tregaskes

Can i just add - Paul never said friendfeed was going to die in the first place... instead they said the complete opposite - "FriendFeed.com will continue to operate normally. We're still figuring out our longer-term plans for the product with the Facebook team." - Chris Clayton

I'm not sure why everyone dislikes Facebook. What's wrong with it? - Sam Guzman

sofarsoShawn, yes, Facebook had been talking to FriendFeed since 2007. - Louis Gray

Lindsay, I bet the FriendFeed team has a very busy week and maybe you hear from them on all this soon. - Louis Gray

Robert: "technologies that have great audiences don't get killed..." oh, come on, you know better than that! My dad worked at IBM so I've been seeing tech companies kill great stuff that their customers liked for most of my life!!!! - Fred Davis

Jim, Scoble has gotten no money from FriendFeed (nor have I). Neither one of us expects to, as that would change the relationship. - Louis Gray

He said FF would continue operating normally "for now". That was what freaked people out. But I'm glad to hear that Paul and company have plans to keep the service running for the foreseeable future. I wouldn't want to wake up one morning and find my favorite service was shut down. - Jason Huebel

Fred, right, the Innovators Dilemma, but in this case its cost of running a website is halving every year - Stephen Pickering

Louis: yes, but Paul told me that when I last was in the office they hadn't yet decided to go to Facebook. Everything happened in the past two weeks. I think you even walked in on one of their key decision points. He said they worked all weekend long on the agreement. - Robert Scoble

Fred: nothing in life is guaranteed, yeah, you're right. But there's no business reason to turn this off anytime soon. If we all leave there will be. - Robert Scoble

Robert: e.g., consumer company changes focus to biz or gets acquired... new company direction leads to consumer products getting killed despite popularity... that's just one of many ways that good tech gets killed all the time!!! - Fred Davis

No disagreement on that at all, Robert. I know I walked in on something big, and that was my mistake for not calling ahead. - Louis Gray

Seems their valuation stood on Roberts shoulders to some degree. At the least, a public thanks would have been nice. - Jim Posner

Jason: i know, thats what got me freaked out too - i just thought i would add it in incase anyone missed it :) and because im a little bored! lol - Chris Clayton

If FF were Twitter, we'd be screaming bloody blue murder about how they don't "get" user communication, etc., etc. - Chris Baskind

Fred, can you give any examples? Any software I used to use that is no longer available was replaced with something better. - RobinDotNet

No business reason that WE understand... 'cuz we don;t go to Facebook board meetings ;-) Facebook may have their own agenda... in fact, I assume they do... - Fred Davis

Jim: I do this because I love it, not because I expect thanks or goodies. - Robert Scoble

Why even bring this up if they can't talk about it? Nothing has changed just more innuendo and smoke and mirrors and a lot of 'what ifs'. Wake me when there's something concrete. - Derrick

Robert: when you talk to paul next, can you push him into doing a public announcement on it all? Just give him a nudge in the right direction! :) - Chris Clayton

RobinDotNet... god, too many to count! First one I was bummed about was in '85 when Musicworks was the best MIDI program on the Mac... got acquired by some jerky game company that decided it wasn't a game and stranded all the users! Yeah, eventually new better stuff came along... but that didn't do the users of the current any good at that time... - Fred Davis

Derrick: sorry, I totally disagree. I didn't know that contractually they can't kill the service anytime soon. - Robert Scoble

Derrick, there is more than smoke. - Louis Gray

It makes sense, they had leverage to make that deal - Stephen Pickering

Fred -- Okay, so that was one that was 24 years ago. Have any more recent examples? If you can't think of any, then they obviously weren't that important. - RobinDotNet

Because they were hesitant, they had the leverage to make that part of the deal. Makes total sense - Stephen Pickering

Um, apple buys leading music sequencing package and kills of PC version because, um, they want to force you to use a mac... come on, the list is endless!!! Companies screw customers by killing good products for their own reasons all the time.... - Fred Davis

Sorry, things are moving fast in this thread. There's a contractual obligation on FB's part to keep FF running? - Jason Huebel

Fred, you keep saying the list is endless, but the only one you can name is one that came out about 2 years after the 1st Mac, 24 years ago. I'm just saying.... - RobinDotNet

Fred, but what if part of the deal was not to kill it? - Stephen Pickering

This whole "Friendfeed is dead" mantra is, has, and always will be nothing more than an attempt to get attention. Friendfeed is successful and Facebook would never do anything to destroy that. - Paul L. McCord Jr.

Derrick: believe me, Louis and I have been talking and concerned about the messaging coming out of this deal more than anyone. We both invested a lot of our time/careers here. Louis has been talking with the team too and that's where his post came from yesterday. I suggest you read it and read between the lines too. - Robert Scoble

Understand Robert, Really not about your motivation, just good manners in my opinion for Friendfeed to thank you publically. Maybe they have and I missed it. I think you did more for promoting the service than the founders. - Jim Posner

now, what facebook decides to do with friendfeed... who knows... Yahoo kept Flickr going... so far... but that seems like the exception... no one's really using jabber any more, but it lives on in the upcoming Wave and as XMPP at Google... - Fred Davis

agreed scoble promoted the service in a big way - Franz Sittampalam from IM

Jim: thanks, appreciate it. Paul did thank me in the interview I did with him right after the announcement was made. - Robert Scoble

If there is a contractual obligation on FB's part to keep FF running, the obvious question is what does this contract state and does it give a duration. Hopefully we'll hear more later. - Kol Tregaskes

Why? What would be the point? I respect you two enough and all that you do in the world of social media and that's fine. I want a place I can converse, post my pictures, air my gripes, and continue to establish the friends I've made via Friendfeed. Will I be able to do that or not? I'm so tired of the conjecture. Some of us, are just people who love the service and more than anything, very simply, we just want to be able to utilize it. - Derrick

Kol: I call it the "Paul is sleeping on the couch for a month" clause. ;-) - Robert Scoble

LOL, Robert. - Kol Tregaskes

For a company like Facebook, I would imagine that the consolidation of branding advantage would lead me to suspect that even if Friendfeed is kept going in some way, it will be re-branded as Facebook... just like Longs, Wamu, and Wells Fargo are going through right in Facebook's backyard. - Fred Davis

Derrick, this is the place to do that. :) - Louis Gray

"For now". ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Throws sheep at Kol - Louis Gray

Hehe, Louis. - Kol Tregaskes

The other main issue I have is that, now we are creating content for Facebook. Facebook owns our data. For some reason I didn't mind Paul and his team, they were blacksheep. If I wanted to make Facebook richer I would type in Facebook in the URL. I dont want to make Facebook richer. - Robert Higgins

What are the alternatives to FF? Isn't there Streamy, Plurk, SocialThing? - Eric

Louis, I'll be counting sheep soon, need sleep. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

@Eric, we've been evaluating alternatives in the CloneFeed/OpenFF room. None of them really come anywhere close to what FF offers. - Jason Huebel

Eric, none of those services are really similar. SocialThing is closest, but FF is still quite a bit different. - Sam Guzman

Of course, since I'm hoping Grabbit will replace Friendfeed for most people, I'm more than a little biased, and that makes me care a lot less about what happens to Friendfeed... even though I love the service, and hope Facebook keeps it going. We're already planning to support Friendfeed in Grabbit, and the new Friendfeed API is awesome, so who knows what the extent of the disruption... more... - Fred Davis

Sam, I know there is something. I am upset, because I wanted to buy FF someday! :) - Eric

So the word now is that FF will be around for a while AND Paul's mentioned the possibility that parts of FF might be open sourced. Any idea what parts? - Jason Huebel

There has to be an alternative. - Eric

Jason: too early to know that for sure. I'd start with the API. From what my friends are telling me who are good developers the API is actually very well thought out. - Robert Scoble

Eric: Not really. Make one. - Sam Guzman

There was an alternative, but I think it shut down. - Eric

There is no need to replace FriendFeed. That there are options to decentralize our info is great, but I'm not going anywhere. - Louis Gray

It was called SocialThing. - Eric

Fred: I just don't like Facebook's service for WHAT I DO. For my wife? It's freaking awesome. And the execs there have always treated me very well (Zuckerberg walked around Davos with me, while every other journalist was drooling over the opportunity to do that -- he's a lot nicer and smarter than most people give him credit for). - Robert Scoble

SocialThing got bought by AOL, and it wasn't as good as FF anyway. You could see people's activity, but there was no real interaction. FF is what it is because of the interaction. - Sam Guzman

Eric & Jason: my new web thingie Grabbit, will do everything Friendfeed does and more, so much more... it's still in alpha, and the beta won't be out until next month... but already the alpha features better Facebook and integration than Friendfeed, IMHO... so, check out grabbit.net and ask to be on the beta list, and we'll keep you posted... - Fred Davis

@Louis, I'm not going anywhere either. But this acquisition not only scared people that FF might go away but also that their data would go with it. So there is /some/ need for alternatives. - Jason Huebel

It was called Rejaw, and it was shut down. - Eric

Fred: can't wait to see more about Grabbit. - Robert Scoble

Robert: Hey dude, I TOTALLY agree with you about Facebook! I've been telling people for a while that I think Facebook is in the process of Yahoo-ing themselves... and that ain't no compliment! - Fred Davis

FriendFeed family or real family? - Mona Nomura

FF is crazy to sell. They should've sold to Google, what were they thinking? - Eric

I think someone needs to create a web dashboard like FF, but that somehow integrates e-mail. - Sam Guzman

louis i agree with you. i am not going anywhere either. this is the place i love and think is awesome - (jeff)isageek

Robert, is Paul referencing his FriendFeed family or real family? (not expanding thread - too long) - Mona Nomura

Mona: real family AND FriendFeed family. They are one and the same if you look at it the right way. - Robert Scoble

Sam: what do you mean "intergrate email" friendfeed already has email features so it depends on what you mean... - Chris Clayton

Same here, Jeff. If FF is still around I'm not budging. It it goes FB on us then it's bye-bye. - Kol Tregaskes

Google Wave is like FF? - Eric

Sam, got that in Grabbit... email, RSS, blog alerts, news alerts, and more... plus the coolest friend management stuff to help you sort all that out, not just the messages, updates, and alerts... - Fred Davis

Mona: if you want me to do something for you, talk Maryam into it first. :-) - Robert Scoble

Fred: Then I am really excited to try it. - Sam Guzman

Eric: just like the others you mentioned, it has 1 or 2 similar features, but completely different! - Chris Clayton

and twitter, facebook, friendfeed, etc., of course... we're starting a signup on grabbit.net... - Fred Davis

I used to use FeedEachOther which was like FF. - Eric

Chris: Like the friendfeed stream, you could login and see all your friend's activity, but also see your latest e-mails (Could be easily accessed with a sidebar link, like direct messages). By commenting on an e-mail, you could reply. Just like FF direct messages, but it would send a real e-mail response. Does that make sense? - Sam Guzman

Now there is Google Reader. - Eric

Google reader is improving, but still has a long way to go. On the social side. - Bluesun 2600

That's the one thing I've always liked about FriendFeed - the founders (and staff) interacts with the community, as do their family members. The community members were treated like family, too. :) Whatever which way, hopefully Facebook will integrate FriendFeed's functions to carry on the "feel" over there as well. Personally, I have the more the merrier approach! BTW see you Thursday, Robert! Gnomedex sold out! - Mona Nomura

I'm not up to speed with this discussion, but FB must have bought FF to merge FF tech into FB. FF for everybody, not just Scoble and tech friends. - Zato Gibson

...would continue as independant application or as zombie inside "failbook"? ;-/ - Claude LaFrenière

Sam: i was actually looking for a way to have the subjects of my emails show up on my friendfeed dashboard awhile ago - do you mean like that? Because that would be awesome! - Chris Clayton

i would love to see friendfeed get a killer mobile app...maybe improve on fftogo a little more - (jeff)isageek

Google Reader is my current alternative btw. I've found the share box today and now using it like FF's share box. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Google Reader is great, but it's not built to replace FriendFeed. It's not an aggregator, for one. - Louis Gray

one thing is I don't think you can share images from pages as easily as FF's share. - Bluesun 2600

Life2front has anyone heard of it? - Eric

Chris: Yes, maybe have a subject show up in your feed, and clicking would expand to reveal the full e-mail. Reply's could be generated by commenting on the e-mail. I'm sure FF won't integrate this, but I'm just throwing it out there. It's something I wish some social service would integrate. Either that, or make e-mail inboxes more social. Kind of like Yahoo e-mails new features, but better executed. How cool would it be to login to your e-mail and be greeted by a FF like social stream. - Sam Guzman

i think you can look at two services that were bought up and never really changed all this time in flickr and delicous so hey maybe friendfeed stays around as it is...maybe just integrates a bit more or something with facebook - (jeff)isageek

Well you can put your services into a folder then create a bundle and share it. But no not quite like FF. It lacks a lot of features and Comments view is awful. - Kol Tregaskes

and look how long google had grand central before they really even started doing anything with it. - (jeff)isageek

I guess what I'm saying is, don't keep e-mail so separate from the rest of your online social activity. It should be more integrated than it is now, in my opinion. Why not include it in a service like FF? - Sam Guzman

So Friendfeed stays on as a side project instead of being abandoned. Does that really make a difference in the grand scheme of things? The service isn't going to grow by leaps and bounds either in audience or functionality now. I guess a slow death is easier for people to deal with than a quick one. - Dare Obasanjo

Sam: i love that idea... email services dont have RSS (not that i can find anyway) i was looking for 5 hours for one afew months ago so i could put it in a private group to show up on my FF stream. but i ended up being dissapointed! - Chris Clayton

I hope we all converge over to Google Wave and that some clever sod codes a FF-type service built on the Wave protocol. :-) GWave is great fun to use! - Kol Tregaskes

Kol: are you going to send me a download link? :P im still waiting for it from the 'sneak peek' survey i filled out AGES ago! - Chris Clayton

Whhhhhhat how`d you try it already? - sofarsoShawn

Dare: there are lots of things that don't get many new features but are still very popular. FriendFeed still has way more features and is better technology than anything else I've seen in the marketplace. Maybe someone will eclipse it, but that won't happen soon and, yes, a slow death is definitely better than a quick one. Why? Cause you can make plans and change your behavior. - Robert Scoble

Download link for GWave? Don't work like that. ;-) Just wait until 30th September, Chris. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Chris, yeah, and I think what I'm describing would take more than just RSS integration. But Kol is right, maybe Google Wave will be the answer :) I can't wait to try it! Especially if other services can be integrated like in FF. - Sam Guzman

Kol: but september is too long to wait :( blame scoble for making me a social media addict! :) - Chris Clayton

Hehe, it will fly by. - Kol Tregaskes

Robert: if this is just about whether they'll shut off the servers or not then why is this even causing hubbub? Given the complaining of a vocal set of users I'm sure that even if they planned to shut off the site, it'll keep going for a while. However it seems obvious that all their innovative ideas and day time hacking should be filled with innovating on Facebook not here. - Dare Obasanjo

As both Louis and I have said - these guys have been nothing but actions thus far and haven't let us down. I see nothing changing from that yet, so I suggest everyone continue that trust. They have done nothing to break that trust yet. And like I wrote about, Facebook needs them as much as they need Facebook - Facebook wants to change into something more of what FriendFeed is, from what I've seen and read. - Jesse Stay

It's not about shutting the servers off for some (most?) folks, it's a matter of how you reconcile FriendFeed and Facebook's views on content licensing, ownership, and privacy; whether we'll continue to see innovation at a pace faster than what Facebook's user base has historically been comfortable with; and whether we'll see a continuation of Friendfeed's openness towards third party developers and the open source community. - Ken Sheppardson

And as I've said over and over again, Jesse, I think most of us trust the FriendFeed folks as individuals, but that trust doesn't necessarily transfer to Facebook as an institution. - Ken Sheppardson

I second Ken. Zuckerbergs plans/dreams are also a kind of wild-card here. They could be favorable to us FriendFeed users, or not. Up till now, Zuckerberg hasn't done much favorable for me. That sucks. I wish it were different. - Meryn Stol

Say what you want about Facebook but Zuckerberg and/or Facebook has revolutionized the Internet by forcing people to be real. (not real-time) It even reflects on Youtube - the commenters aren't as moronic as they were say three years ago, since more and more people are using their real names and identities. - Mona Nomura

It's always like this and it never turns out the way Paul says it will, though I believe his intentions are honorable. At some point you no longer work for the old company and you start working for the new one. My guess is this has already happened. Soon people from the old team will have their new assignments, and then one day the server will go down. They'll bring it back up, but... more... - Dave Winer

Damn, Dave. And I thought that *I* was a cynic. - Akiva Moskovitz

Akiva, I've been through it myself, and been in Paul's position. - Dave Winer

Dave, I don't doubt that at all. It's just amazing from my perspective to see it put so honestly. Well put, sir. - Akiva Moskovitz

Only when I was in Paul's position, I had a simpler situation cause we were developing shrinkwrap software and our mission was supposedly unchanged. We didn't have servers that had to be kept up 24-by-7. Even so, six months after the merger, the whole thing was turned upside down and the team had all-new priorities and tons of people had left, including the top guy (me!). I would get... more... - Dave Winer

Well put, Mona! - Jesse Stay

Dave, I expect it to change, but I also expect that Facebook is doing this for not just the team they just acquired. I think Facebook really wants this technology. - Jesse Stay

Jesse, that may be true but they'll want it for Facebook. And if you're a fan of Facebook, that's great, Facebook's going to get better. But if you're not? If you're a a fan of FriendFeed? Then all you're going to end up with is a bastardized FriendFeed with lots of dipshit apps. - Akiva Moskovitz

Jesse: I'm not so sure. The technology will need to be rebuilt for the Facebook infrastructure. That's one reason why Paul doesn't have good answers for us yet. He said he needs a few weeks to really dig into Facebook's code base before he even has a good idea of where he and the FriendFeed'ers can really add value. - Robert Scoble

Akiva, I'm a fan of both. And you know you can ignore those apps - that's not something you can do on FriendFeed or Twitter. FriendFeed would have gotten just as bad as it grew. - Jesse Stay

Dave: thinking back on why I joined FriendFeed, it was because I expected that the team would do something interesting in the future. That reason has now been fulfilled and now that these guys are at Facebook it'll be interesting to see what they do. - Robert Scoble

Jesse, where is the button to ignore the apps? I want to ignore all of them, all the time. Instead, I have to click hide on every single bloody one of them and still get notifications from people wanting me to add apps. I'd tolerate Facebook better if there was a magic "no apps, ever" button. - Rochelle

Somewhat selfishly, I have just gained a whole load of new friends on Fb, here and on Google Reader and have learned loads about sharing and subscribing for which I thank you all :-) I will just watch and wait now, but I do agree that if everyone dashes off somewhere else and deserts FF, it could well hasten its demise. Best to try and use all the services and interlink them if we can. - Julia Ault

Rochelle: I want you to install the FriendFeed app. :) - Louis Gray

I am sure that FB was not happy if FF was going into MS hands or Google hands ,they bought it and now they will be the most important live and live search player on top of the best social community,,I am happy for them and for us as well ,they will keep our home and thats great news - Johni Fisher

Jesse, this is true. I guess my real point is—aside from the easy-as-punch Facebook app snarking—that the very philosophies on which each service was built are essentially different. I'm not saying that these divergent ideas can't be unified. I'm just not convinced that they're compatible enough to be integrated without irritating one group and overwhelming the other. I'm sure the... more... - Akiva Moskovitz

Wish I was a millionaire like him :/ - Mark

"I'm just not convinced that they're compatible enough to be integrated without irritating one group and overwhelming the other. " - very well put, Akiva. - Meryn Stol

Akiva, who says they will become one site? Why not enable the two communities to remain separate if they want, under the Facebook brand? I don't think we know yet what will happen. - Jesse Stay

Good news because I love friend feed in it's current format. - Rob Cairns

Robert, yes, we don't know for sure, but then again we don't know for sure - I don't see reason to change too much of our trust until something actually happens. I do know Facebook wants to open up more, while still retaining your right to privacy. The privacy thing is something FriendFeed (or Twitter) doesn't have, and I think would be a welcome addition. - Jesse Stay

Rochelle, you have to do it either by app, or individual (unless I've missed the option). That said, I would kill for the ability to do that on FriendFeed or Twitter. They don't even have that. - Jesse Stay

Jesse: FriendFeed doesn't have apps, so I'm not sure what exactly you're referring to; if you mean the ability to hide posts aggregated from a particular service, that's already there. - Tristan Seligmann

Last I checked, Jesse, FriendFeed didn't have MafiaWars or Superpoke. - Akiva Moskovitz

(If you click on "Hide", and then "hide other items like this one", you get a whole list of options) - Tristan Seligmann

FriendFeed has a finite number of things to hide ("all items from Bob", "all Flickr posts", etc.). That's much more easy control than the thousands of apps on Facebook. It's like playing whack-a-mole over there. It feels like the more I hide, the more they appear. - Rochelle

Akiva, Tristan, it's only a matter of time before the auto-dm apps appeared on FriendFeed. So long as FriendFeed grows, they will come. So long as it doesn't grow, it *does* disappear. There's no "hide all from the app that generated this DM" option on FriendFeed. - Jesse Stay

Jesse, and, with all of the hide options already present on FriendFeed, you don't think the devs would have had the presence of mind to include something similar for any supposed FriendFeed apps? - Akiva Moskovitz

Akiva, I trust that they'll add that as much as I trust they'll continue to fight for FriendFeed at Facebook. - Jesse Stay

They don't even need any extra options; you can already hide direct posts based on the application that created them. For example, if you hide this post of Robert's, you'll get the option to hide all posts by iPhone. - Tristan Seligmann

Jesse, I think no-one doubts that *they* will fight. The question is if they win. They're just employees now. - Meryn Stol

Again, I'm surprised that my own cynicism—legendary in its own right—is being beaten about the face and neck in this thread. - Akiva Moskovitz

Meryn, I also know the Facebook team - they're just as competent as FriendFeed's. Their original audience started different than FF's, but they too have to expand. - Jesse Stay

Holden: engagement. - Robert Scoble

It's hard for innovators to stop innovating, and for entrepreneurs to lose the total freedom and self-reliance that drives them. Every entrepreneur that I know personally (only a few, alas!) who has sold for the big bucks has eventually gone on to create something else. - Kathy Fitch

Jesse, as I said earlier, my lack of knowledge on the plans of Zuckerberg is the problem. Do you know Zuckerberg? In the end, he's gonna decide what appears on Facebook or not. Also, it's not so much a matter of competence than it is a matter of vision and taste. - Meryn Stol

I'm sure the FB engineers are competent. - Meryn Stol

And wouldn't it be fascinating to have a gander at the kinds of separation agreements folks who leave FB must sign? Almost as interesting as seeing the acquisition agreement in this case. - Kathy Fitch

It's totally unclear if future conversations we might have on FB will ever be indexable by Google. (or any other search engine) That all depends on Zuckerberg's final say. I can't look in the guy's head. - Meryn Stol

Sure seems like you're scrambling, Robert, to place yourself in the center of this when you were completely blindsided by the sale. Justs sayin' - Mattb4rd

Louis, nope! Those are two separate worlds for me and I intend to keep it that way. - Rochelle

Once you stop owning something you lose the ability to make promises about it. Good intentions or no. One hard headed business decision like FF is not earning its keep or we need the resources elsewhere and it's done. Been on both sides. - Todd Hoff

The only thing that would make a real difference in this case would be an unambiguous statement from Mark Zuckerberg himself. Let him address the FF community and actually say what he will commit himself to. I suppose he's a man of his word. - Meryn Stol

Good news. Doin' the right thing! - Rob Schieber

Yeah sure! Promises Promises!!! - Jose Luis Santos

Hmm. A whole lot of the sale was in stock options. Takes awhile to get fully vested. The next few years should prove very interesting. - Kathy Fitch

How can you live up to that promises when you no longer own it? - John D Reasor

....hmmmm, we got the wrong impression then? - Mark Essel

Nevermind, I'd feel a helluva lot better with an unattached open social media where I could rely on keeping contacts and connections however weak for as long as I chose to continue using the service. - Mark Essel

Actions speak louder then words, and the key is the final decision is no longer up to him. I am sure Paul means every word he says I just not sure he is going to be able to keep it. - Kim Landwehr

I don't expect FF to go away right away. I just expect things will definitely be different. I do hope that FB does improve, but I am also branching out given the sale. - Kevin Whalen

"Promises are a bourgeois invention and, anyway, they're meant to be broken." [V. I. Lenin quoted from inexact memory] by - ianf ⌘

@louisgray's »If you see the post I put up last night...« <http://friendfeed.com/scoblei...> If you cared for others to read that post, you'd have included a direct link to it. It's the essence of hypertext, and any "Silicon Valley early adopter, tech geek blogger" worth the name would have done just... more... - ianf ⌘

It would make some business sense to keep FF as some kind of separate site/module, if just to stop another site taking it's place and becoming another competitor. - Robert Littlejohn

Hi Ian! I get what you are saying, but sometimes, dropping links to my own posts in other people's threads looks like spam. I also believe a good number of people saw it, and know how to get it otherwise. That said, it's right here: http://www.louisgray.com/live... - Louis Gray

Robert - To say Facebook is more interesting to work for than Google may be a stretch. While Facebook is growing exponentially and has challenges, Google faces HUGE challenges just staying Google ... while exploring new areas of growth. Keeping the index relevant is a big challenge in itself. On the other hand ... the 'FF guys' have worked there already and know how they feel about what direction they wanted to go ... which .. I think ... makes a little more sense? - Charlie Anzman

Charlie: remember most of this team already worked at Google. Facebook is pre IPO. Google is not. The potential rewards are much larger at Facebook and the potential to have an impact is much larger at Facebook too. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Posting links (references) to one's other posts "looks like spam"? That's news to me, and a lame excuse. In any event, given main difference between worlds of analog and digital publishing being ability in the latter case to refer back to source in unambiguous and granular fashion (rather than, as in analog, to indicate issue, chapter, page, verse, line, etc - if at all), not including... more... - ianf ⌘

ianf, I agree, but it feels like spam when you're doing it. Encourage him nicely. - Bruce Lewis

i suspect that, if FF were to survive relatively unchanged it will be through an open-source effort. i doubt FF will survive as a stand-alone site w/ Fb paying the freight. - MikeAmundsen

Why don't the FF founders release an official statement saying how long the site will continue and what we can expect if we stay? - Tomy Thomson

Keep in mind that despite the best intentions, nearly half of all sincere promises end in divorce. - April Russo (app103)

Robert: I agree that the technology with great audiences don't get killed off, but the name of the game to the shareholders is money. It makes a ton more sense for facebook to integrate friendfeed into facebook, an already monetizable model, vs. leaving it as a de-coupled technology that has to have a new revenue model built for it. - Erik Boles

like x1000 - Raphael, Raphael

With so much money still on the table in the form of stock options, there's certainly plenty of motivation to make FB stellar. If FF ends up being treated well, too (for whatever reason--a promise, a warm fuzzy feeling, its potential role in helping to make FB stellar), then I'm all for that. - Kathy Fitch

There is a way to argue keeping FF going makes sense to FB: The important thing in social software ISN'T the software, it's the people who use it. If the people who use FF are sufficiently different to those on FB, then it could make sense to keep both services. Possibly they may end up using the same software, but have different brands. Think of VW group in cars (SEAT/Skoda/VS/Audi are... more... - Nick Lothian

That makes me feel better about trying to switch mainly to Friendfeed. - Hunt from iPhone

Interesting thread. I think that Paul has the best intention and he will do everything he can to keep the existing service up. Dave Winer has a good summary of the forces he will have to fight against. Making a Facebook vs. Google vs. Microsoft decision was probably a hard one. I am wondering if Twitter was in the race too...Twitter + Friendfeed could have been a great team to go... more... - Edwin Khodabakchian

Why the outreach now and not earlier in the week? Has something spooked the FF team? Seeing people looking for alternatives, and poking around Google Reader, Streamy, SocialThing, perhaps? Robert said it himself, if people leave here, FF dies, and the team doesn't have a whole lot to sell to FB (yeah, arguably) and that could scotch the whole deal. So I'm just wondering why the outreach now? - Dominic Jones

ianf: don't you know, links are dead? ;) - Tristan Seligmann

read it from the begining, I'm happy FF crew is beginning to acknowledge the questions, Dave definitely has a point, but all-in-all I thought death was near, it looks like it gets delayed for some time. The main thing is ppl are still here although reader is the new playground...unfortunately the communication with their team isn't all that good... - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Dobromir, "read [297 more comments] from the begining" is not a good advice for anything, least of all here, in the Kingdom of Perpetual Constant Fragmentary Attention Overload, where realtime fly-by comments are the rule. - ianf ⌘

Robert, thank you for sharing this info. I hope everyone got the message clearly. Wonderful news! - Michael Fidler from iPhone

Ok, I hadn't time to read all the comments on this thread. But this sure sounds promising, and I do trust Robert and Louis when they're saying something. So I'm hopeful:) - Patrik Johansson

It is not whether Friendfeed lives or dies. It's whether our free-wheeling, anarchic, community-driven approach will be replaced by the bland family-oriented guidelines of Facebook. Will we still be able to chuckle of Asian men on a beach, for example? - Aaman (Clone of FF)

hey all, we can't return to the past, what happen has already happened, now the question is this one, may a micro community survive inside a large community, the answer is YES, FF community can and may have the same social behaviour it has here, and when move to FB, we need just to preserve our connections, and to maintain the same behaviour. that all, but even ancients tribes don't survive without scarifying some of their tradition. - abdellah

Will Friend feed just get - morphed into Facebook now? clearly they want to take on Twitter. I noticed that I tryed to remove my Friend feed from facebook recently because less techy friends complained that I take over there Friend feeds...! But I can't... mmmm - PRBristolco.uk

FaceFeed. Nom nom nom. - Marlin Forbes

My goodness, there needs to be a way to search comments...I scanned to see if Paul had chimed in, but didn't see that. - Chad Gesser

Scobe: I hope he does chime in. I think he needs to since you broke that. - Chad Gesser

Chad: I think he'll say more after he has a little time at Facebook and can give definitive answers as to what the FriendFeed team is going to do there. He told me that will take several weeks. - Robert Scoble

no i didnt know that - Chris Nwakalo

if so wonderful news - Ronald

Facebook is genuinely interested in best in class customer experience. I can't yet envision what features or practices are incorporated or left behind, but it seems a positive move for users. There is always a die-hard loyal following that doesn't want to see their Freind (feed) go away. Heck, I still record The West Wing on Bravo. - Jeff Marmins

Yeah i sure hope so robert. . i really rather not be on facebook. - RamirezG

Chad, to aid in scanning, you can do a Ctrl-F (or equivalent) and search the current page for "- Paul Buchheit" and/or install my user script that adds a mini avatar to the beginning of each comment http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Micah Wittman

Scoble, why do you think FriendFeed won't get sacrificed by Facebook management? Most sensible thing, to me, is to get FriendFeed integrated as a feature of Facebook, then eliminate the individual brand. Fact is, it's Facebook's decision at this point, unless the FriendFeed guys got something in writing to the contrary (which likely didn't happen). Sometimes you've got to go with your... more... - Jason Nunnelley

Jason: it doesn't really matter. I've been on Facebook all morning and they already have a lot of FriendFeed's features. Soon the rest will be moved over too. And the servers won't get turned off anytime soon, based on conversations with FriendFeed and Facebook. So, for now, use it and be happy. Me? I've already been spreading out my social networking time just in case. - Robert Scoble

and before he disappears into a part of the web that I can't find.....how do you say his last name? Boo-Kite? Buck-heat? Really, I don't know and I wanna know. Just so I know, You know? - Morgan Haley

Just forewarning - the public will be overwhelmed. It's too much to launch with, IMO - way too many features. (I'm in the developer sandbox preview) - Jesse Stay

I’ve been using search a lot lately, and I’m amazed at the number of people who use friendfeed, but I’m equally amazed at the number of people using it primarily as a form of storage. Sadly, I do come across people who are trying to participate, and are for the most part, going unnoticed. I came across a stream today that was amazing, yet there were only a handful of comments and likes... more... - Michael Fidler

I completely agree with Michael - TheHenry

See my feed, we have this on the family room tv now. Can't really do that with twitter, also wouldn't be as compelling - sean percival

So your feed's a family channel. I see ;) - Micah Wittman

Michael: what's the feed? Did you click like on it? - Robert Scoble

Yes, It was a picture of an attractive women sitting on a stair case in a purple dress. - Michael Fidler

Michael, I think that in order to have a stream which is noticed, one should participate in some high profile discussions (with lots of other participants). This requires a lot of time investment (so I don't do it myself, at least not enough), but I think it is the only way to get noticed. - roland legrand

As Roland said, more or less, people who participate in conversations on other peoples' posts will get the same back on theirs. (Or at least that's my theory; wish it'd pan out more often for me, though.) If people decide not to participate in the community (really, communities, there are more than one here), when so many others are, perhaps that's not so much a problem with the community but with the 'loners' themselves. And there's no easy cure for that. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

Roland and Chris are right. Participate and people are much more likely to notice you and contribute to your posts. I think a lot of people are unwilling to comment/like a post by someone with only a handful of likes and comments. - Michael McKean

For anyone interested, I think this is the post with the attractive woman in the purple dress that Michael is talking about. Malevi4's feed contains superb photos indeed: http://friendfeed.com/malevi4... - Brome

That's true Roland, but not everyone is as comfortable initially when it comes to engaging in discussion. Some people might feel intimidated at first, and need an introduction, or something along those lines, in which to make them feel more comfortable. I have some ideas which might help, but it’s going to take some cooperation, and I need to work them out a little more first. - Michael Fidler

@Michael McKean I am not sure they are unwilling in a sense of retaliation "you don't participate so I will not respond to your stream". That would be rather sad, because maybe a "loner" has really interesting things to say. I think it is far more basic: people actually don't discover you that easily when you don't participate in big discussions. - roland legrand

@Brome, That's the one,Thanks! - Michael Fidler

@Michael Fidler Please keep me posted about your ideas, I'd love to hear more about it! I am doing some online community work myself as a journalist, and I think it is crucial to find ways helping people to engage in discussions. - roland legrand

Well, I just think that people may prefer to interact with people who are interacting themselves. - Michael McKean

Michael, it took me years to reach the point when I starting putting my thoughts on the internet in a public way. For me it was years of receiving so much benefit from experts & laymen committing their ideas, advice, musings up for me to find that I felt compelled to give back. But it was almost a transformation internally for me, and part of it was hitting a confidence threshold in putting my name on the line. I don't know what percentage of people might be in my shoes of the past, but thought I'd share. - Micah Wittman

Heh heh. Here's the David Byrne video http://www.bendecho.de/3ab993f.... - Nick in Manila

Roland, I would be happy to share them with you. For the most part I agree with you, but I also believe there are exceptions. If the community could do something for those people, I think it would be worth the effort. Thanks Micah, I really appreciate you sharing that, and I would have never guessed it, unless you said something. It’s not a simple problem, and it does raise a lot of issues, which at the very least should be discussed. That's why I brought it up in the first place. - Michael Fidler

it would be interesting to see how many 'lurkers' there are on FF in comparison to other places. My feeling is ppl lurk less here, but that is not backed up by any stats - WorldofHiglet

I'd be very interested by the answer of this question, Robert ;-) - Thierry R. Andriamirado

:) Nick! Micah: I think you are right - I am absolutely the same (now you can't shut me up!) but it takes time to warm up to a community unless you are used to participating. I would think that ppl who don't participate here don't participate other places either. And as for the ppl who share great things but remain 'undiscovered' that is a great pity. It seems like the way it works is... more... - WorldofHiglet

Michael: the reason that feed isn't getting engagement is because it's crap. The person isn't uploading his/her own work. He/she doesn't participate. He/she writes in a style that seems spammy. He/she isn't uploading work that's conversational. So why, again, are you expecting me to engage on this? There's a REASON why people don't get engaged on. It's not worth engaging on these. - Robert Scoble

Ding ding ding! - Michael McKean

The person we are talking about has 23,000 comments. Of course, they might be on his own things. I brought this up because I thought it should be discussed. I mentioned that I have some idea's that could help, but It will require an effort from more people than just myself. I followed him, so I guess I did my small part. - Michael Fidler

Michael: did you read the comments? They are automated comments and are NOT real comments where he/she is engaging on other people's items. At least not that I can tell. - Robert Scoble

You think it's a feed or a bot? - Michael Fidler

"Upload by:" is NOT participation. - Michael McKean

Fidler: it sure looks like a bot to me. It doesn't look human. There's a reason why people don't get engagement. I read tens of thousands of feeds. I'm pretty sure most of the good stuff is getting engagement at this point. When people aren't getting engaged on, it's because they are crappy in some way. - Robert Scoble

For the record, he's only one example, who I came across today. There have been others, as well - Michael Fidler

Michael: let's have them. URLs please! I'm always looking for good new stuff that I've missed for some reason, but YOU need to promote them to all of us! I'm watching your feed, by the way. Haven't seen a lot on there that I've missed. Not everything deserves engagement, by the way. Most content never does get engagement. Just ask the book industry about that one. - Robert Scoble

I flipped through a bunch of pages worth. You'll see one of the only posts that got significant likes was http://friendfeed.com/funny-p... which had some authenticity "caught it on the street" feel to it, and it was also Bookmarklet derived unlike most of the other auto/rss feed material. - Micah Wittman

Speaking about followers and interaction, how come this lady has managed to follow so many people, with only 9 comments in her background? http://bit.ly/1aghJb - Nir Ben Yona

I agree with you for the most part, Robert. Perhaps the only purpose this will serve is to raise a few people’s awareness so in the future, "the exceptions" don't accidentally fall through the cracks. I'm sure you know that I brought this up with the best of intentions. - Michael Fidler

That's a lot of people! - Michael Fidler

Her comments are actually just bookmarks. - Eric Logan

Fidler: the thing is, I'm pretty sure you're wrong. Especially since you're the solution (you like stuff, everyone sees it, and all those items get engagement). - Robert Scoble

Nir, She's go a 1% reciprocal subscriber rate. That's about right for junk mail / cold calling. But in absolute numbers it gives her an audience of ~600, which is more than that of many active FFers I know. But here's the thing. The people who subscribe back to a indiscriminant serial subscriber are not worth much and are likely clueless or serial subscribers themselves. I'll take the smaller, fantastically smart and interactive group surrounding me thank you very much :) - Micah Wittman

Thanks Robert! I'll take that as a compliment:) - Michael Fidler

Micah, you're totally right. I wish FriendFeed could let us search for people with lets say 1000 Likes and 1000 comments, in addition to the other filters, available. - Nir Ben Yona

The biggest mistake I made here was using the twitter to friendfeed tool. I'm still unfollowing people who don't share anything here, Many of which I don't even follow on twitter anymore. - Michael Fidler

Nir, yes, that would be interesting. - Micah Wittman

I also made a twitter related mistake. Someone reported how to add other people's twitter followers here, so I added one of the prominent friendfeed user's twitter followers - then added several more peoples. I added them to my home feed. That was the mistake. It took me till yesterday to find the part of ff that lets you remove people from a list in bulk. I removed about 250 people... more... - Chuck Baggett

Wow, so much to answer. To start with Robert's tweet, the reason you get lots more followers on Twitter than here is that spammers know FriendFeed isn't useful to them. Not that all your followers there are spammers, but probably a lot of them are. - Bruce Lewis

roland legrand: The discussions you need to participate in to get noticed aren't necessarily the high-profile ones. They're the ones on topics where something you've posted adds insight. Find discussions on topics where you can really add something. I wrote more about this here: http://friendfeed.com/brlewis... - Bruce Lewis

WorldofHiglet: People who share great things but are 'undiscovered' are a pity, but they're also an opportunity. If you introduce them to others through 'Like', you'll increase your own reputation as a source of great content. That's an important social force: People gain popularity within their own circle on FriendFeed by looking outside their circle. - Bruce Lewis

Robert - they come from your activities out on the web and being published in newspapers, etc. Why aren't they on FF? Because they probably do not know about it. Twitter is getting so much MSM attention. Plus, FF needs better blogging system integration ;) I'm just playing around on this one (testing the microphone) but decided to talk about FF ... http://www.layneheiny.com/node... -- you can add to the debate by adding your top 3. - LPH™ and his dog P™

i think its based on a number of stats Scoble, rather than participation. But of course, i'm just pleased we're in the top 20 of the list :) - Zee.

Zee: stats are lies. - Robert Scoble

well they make me feel good :) - Zee.

Zee: Seth Godin is a great guy, great author, great speaker, very well known, etc. But no way is he the top social media blogger. - Robert Scoble

Agreed. Like Godin's insight but he isnt regular enough. Also really like Jeremiah! - Richard Zeidel

I subscribe to Seth's blog and have yet to figure out why there is such a fuss about him. Chris seems to put more effort into his posts and write things of significance. - Chris Luckhardt

lol but what do u mean with the stats zee? - Apostolos Papadopoulos from IM

Often attributed to Mark Twain: "There are lies, damn lies and statistics." - CAJ, somewhere else

have you subscribed to us yet Scoble? Would love you to give us a chance for a couple of weeks. Think you'll be highly impressed - Zee.

Seth is good for those little sparks that get your own thinking going. But yeah, wouldn't put him in the top SM blogger category. - Virante

Richard: yeah, Jeremiah should be in top two or three yet. Zee: I'm following you here on friendfeed, is that what you mean? - Robert Scoble

sorry i mean at TheNextWeb.com - check out our recent content, i'm sure you'll be impressed. - Zee.

Zee: what's the friendfeed URL? - Robert Scoble

If you turn off comments (engagement) and blog about engagement (with comments off) then you get lots of linketylinks (Google love) in. Helps with those stats :) - Laurel Papworth

@virante agree with you. I think Seth is more intellectual from Brogan and he is not social media blogger. And I don't say that Brogan isn't great! In fact, he is! - Apostolos Papadopoulos from IM

Love your post. I stopped following Seth a while ago for the same reason. He does not participate in the conversation. He writes posts high above from the mountain of Social Media Gods (SMG). - John Flynn

http://friendfeed.com/thenext... and we have a group with content from all over here: http://friendfeed.com/the-nex... (nearly 6000 members) - Zee.

The # of people he follows and learns from is an indicator as to his view of his role in the conversation...I mean monologue, - Kevin Murray

In fact, thinking about it, it is hard to pick between Brogan and Owyang. I should have named both. - Robert Scoble

Agreed. Great stuff, but Seth's not interested in conversation. Since that's the case, how can he possibly rate high in the social media space? - Leo Bottary

I like the perspective Seth brings to Social Media, but I agree that he's not participating as much as others. How are we defining "top"? - Joel Zehring

I think the behaviors of many people claiming to be the "best" of something will be monitored more closely now that FF is around ... I watch the number of people "these bloggers" subscribe to and watch for their participation ... - LPH™ and his dog P™

methinks that Seth is not blogging about Social Media, but about marketing. - Apostolos Papadopoulos from IM

That list doesn't seem particularly focused. Bunch of great sites there that don't seem SM to me. I can't believe they didn't run them past me first. ;-) - Chris Baskind

Joel: the blog that made this list is using popularity ranking algorithms. Judging people by popularity will take you down a bad path. - Robert Scoble

Seth is like God. He disappears for a long time then pops up with the old miracle. He's a good helicopter view of what's going on whilst people like Scobles and Chris Brogran are the day to day practioneers. You need both. - Ross McMinn

Definitely Brogan is much better. I think Godin is miscategorized here. That said he's not conversing much in any space, just thinking out loud, which is great, but not so much social. - Bailey McCann

I think we need universal portable influence metric - something peer mediated - micro celebrities need community validation. - Richard Zeidel

Zee would be in the conversation. At least if I were having the conversation. - Matthew DeVries

I don't even know Chris Brogan - maybe I should.. - Arnaldo M Pereira

I like it that Seth doesn't participate in everything. It makes it easier to follow him. Has anyone tried to email him or connect through his "Tribes" projects? - Joel Zehring

what apostolos said. seth is marketing, not social media. - James

Joel, that's like saying Chuck Nevitt is the best basketball player, because he's so easy to follow, cause most of the time he's on the bench, and the 3 minutes a season he got to play, he moved very slowly. - Matthew DeVries

Arnaldo M Pereira: Check out Chris here ==> http://friendfeed.com/chrisbr... He's very active. - LPH™ and his dog P™

Exactly, Social Media and Seth Godin? WTF? And how come RWW team is not in the 1st three? - Sasha Kovaliov(.com)

lol +1 to Matthew - Bailey McCann

I'd say Amber Mac would be up there, but I guess she's more like the little girl who gets every freakin new toy on the planet the day it comes out, tells everyone it's a great toy, then tosses it aside, and goes back to playing with movable type. - Matthew DeVries

Good guy, but last I checked Seth doesn't even tweet! - Ryan Miller from Nambu

Ryan: we were on a radio show together and he told me he doesn't Tweet. I tried to get him on friendfeed and he didn't have any part of that. - Robert Scoble

Seth is tops in several areas....just not social media; not even close..I'm sure he would agree - Daniel Kenney

agreed scoble. - Ted Bradford II

Seth is definitely a top blogger..but because social media is about conversation, then you're right...others have a right to that honor. - Bill Reichart

Seth is a snake oil salesman, but Chris Brogan sees him as a role model. I've predicted that Chris will be the first to Tweet from the Lincoln bedroom in the White House. - paul mooney

Maybe they should call him the top social media spammer. He's broadcast-only. Woot for Chris Brogan though. - Dave Saunders

+1 with taryn930 - Apostolos Papadopoulos from IM

Seth Godin uses email primarily to respond to people - he doesnt believe in the other media and he has explained that in some of his interviews. Chris Brogan on the other hand uses social media channels extensively and in my opinion should rank higher as a social media exponent. - Mahesh Patwardhan

blogger or not.. moot question... is seth a good "social network" or "web2.0" (as much as i dislike that term!!!) media personality... *no* he's hardly a participant - he's more a "dictactor" - one way communication (mostly)... still worth reading i guess if you're into that sort of marketing guffy stuff (i'm only into technical stuff :) ... - simran

I like Chris Brogan and Perry Belcher too! - Vicki Z Lauter

I agree that Seth, smart as he is, is not representative of social media blogging. Having said that, what makes us so sure Chris Brogan, and I love Chris, Or Jeremiah, who I also love, are more engaged than Susie from Detroit? Because their numbers are higher hence the stats ranking. Why are their numbers higher? Because they're sort of viral. I often wonder how people become popular.... more... - Sheryl

Chris Brogan I know about and I follow on Twitter and FF, I just Googled Seth Godin, wasn't sure who he was.... - Mike Nencetti

I don't feel like I should weigh in or anything, but I wanted you to know I'm listening and I'm here. I really love what Seth does. I read him religiously. He's NOT a social media blogger. He writes about marketing. That said, he writes about the part of social media that matters to me: how humans can be more human. So, to me, he's still #1, because he's writing about humans, and that's... more... - Chris Brogan

see what I was tolding ya? 1) Seth is not a social media blogger 2) both Chris and Seth are the best on what they do ;-) - Apostolos Papadopoulos from IM

For the record, Wolverine is the best at what he does. I'm just a working schlub. - Chris Brogan

I like and respect what both Chris and Seth have to say tremendously. Not sure I care that much about who is the "top" blogger or whatever because either way I'm gonna keep reading their stuff and learning. - Miguel Rodriguez

I do appreciate that Chris is present here (hi Chris!) and feel that his participation in "the discussion" adds another dimension to his insights. I wonder sometimes why Seth limits his interaction. When he's on camera being interviewed, such as by @loic most recently, he seems quite comfortable.. why that comfort doesn't extend to places like FF and twitter I am still scratching my head over. - Miguel Rodriguez

Seth reminds me of Yoda, Chris reminds me of Obiwan. First one's cool, simple, philosophical, and ass-kicking. Second one's down to earth, practical, trained in highly useful Jedi stabs for day to day fights. Follow both, learn from both. - waraney rawung

How would you classify Gary Vaynerchuck in the Marketing/Social Media environments? - Owen Greaves

I watched a video of Seth essentially saying that much of social networking is superficial. http://blog.angelaconnor.com/2009... - Angela

waraney - I think you nailed it :-) - PXLated

I had an interesting connection w/ Seth. Back when I was doing Biznik Live interviews, Seth's answer was to ask about our listener numbers. ("10k gets my attention"...Understandable from a guy who is #5 in Google out of 3 billion hits for "blog") However, when I sent him a video of Bizniks discussing Tribes, he liked that & agreed to an interview. It was an experimental brady-bunch style video interview on the importance of Tribes in business. Edited version: http://tinyurl.com/r9f9qz - Leif Hansen

@ChrisBrogan I bet being compared to ObiWan just made your day ;) I think I'm probably more like Luke -whiny guy with father-figure issues who gradually grows into his vocation through the grace/luck of the force and of friends and some serious hard knocks with his own dark side. Though I've got plenty of Solo juice flowing through my veins as well :) - Leif Hansen

I agree with Chris, but Chris and Jeremiah are still up there IMO, especially when it comes to Social Media specifically. - Jesse Stay

Apart from the fact Chris Brogan is hardly even here lol - Rob Sellen :o)

Is Gary V. on that list? - Jesse Stay

That's my point...shouldn't he be on the list? - Owen Greaves

But seriously, oranges are so much better than apples. Come on guys... - Leif Hansen

We know Scoble doesn't like lists. He really doesn't like those where it's easy to find holes in the lists. If this were written as "200 Social Media Blogs" with stats, and without rankings, it'd be easier. I was just surprised to see I was included at all. - Louis Gray

But Louis, You are a legend here :) - Owen Greaves

Great point about Godin not participating. In my niche there are some "experts" who have huge following numbers, but follow very few themselves. If you don't interact with your followers are you really participating in the conversation? - Richard Byrne

Godin doesn't need to participate... he has sneezers. :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

@Rob Sellen - Yeah, I'm not really deep into FriendFeed. I use it, and try to stay on top, and I get that lots of people say it's a big next stage. This is where Seth and I agree and are somewhat alike: we both believe you don't have to be present at EVERY conversation at every touchpoint. He picks his places; I pick mine. I just find the velocity of the social web to be more my speed. He likes email. No foul. - Chris Brogan

Nothing wrong with that... ;o) .. just thought it odd for someone to say somone is the top social media blogger and not be in the social media sites itself... after all, that's exactly what scoble has said in the title here ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

concur - chris brogan is the man - mike "glemak" dunn

Why Mike, do you think that? what is it that Chris does that's so different to anyone else? - Rob Sellen :o)

Not a chance. And Seth doesn't make it as top marketing blogger either. - AJ Kohn

@Rob - oh, I'm in tons of social media sites. I just don't spend all 14 of my working hours in each one. I don't use Utterli, Plurk, Jaiku, Hyves, Orkut, Digg, Sphinn, and 300 other folks either. - Chris Brogan

like scoble you mean? or was that 7 hours lol? I never said you weren't in any, just that scoble posted that here... and you are not here as much, nor is seth.. so scoble to me was just replacing one for another, if that makes any sense? :o/ - Rob Sellen :o)

Woot woot "Seth Godin is the top social media blogger?" - nawwwwww.. he's the world's biggest liar.. hey after all he did write "all marketers are liars" !! He connectes with people because of his views and he also disconnects to people b'coz of that too.. As for interaction and collobrative particiaption.. hes got his nose still stuck n da air.. yeah Chris wins hands down ! - Peter Dawson

One thing I will say about Seth, ha can say a lot in few words... other times he says things that are a bit broad... but if it makes you think, that is the point. :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

So Scoble chose FriendFeed. I've chosen Twitter. He also really loved the hell out of Facebook and used it up. I didn't. Which tools you use doesn't make you a better or worse social media person. How you get the job done counts the most to me. - Chris Brogan

I agree... just thought it odd in the context of friendfeed you know. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Agree Chris. Darth Maul's double-edged sabre is as useful as Yoda's tiny one. I'm a beginner at social media, and trying to keep in touch with what's new and what's useful. You, Scoble, Seth and many others have been very helpful for a rookie like me. - waraney rawung

What is a social media blogger, and why don't I get on this list? I've been doing this longer and better than any of you guys. Geez Louise what's a guy gotta do to get a little recognition. - Dave Winer

Which reminds me, a lot of early adopters in Indonesia are using FriendFeed, but they're not really into discussions in FF. On the contrary, geeks in Indonesia love and are very active in Twitter and Plurk (sometimes behaving differently in each site), with Facebook as their personal online central nerve. - waraney rawung

It's all subjective anyway. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

@DaveWiner - here here. You're who *I* read, anyhow. : ) - Chris Brogan

shouldn't that be "hear hear" sorry... lol. that's coming from a deaf bloke! ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

@Rob - Beats me... what do I know? : ) - Chris Brogan

I wouldn't even call Seth a top marketing blogger, jeez - Sally Church

lol... I see that alot, and wonder if it should really be hear hear... makes more sense that would. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

I think it probably is. Like "hear hear" me? - Chris Brogan

yeah, what I was thinking...even if I can't "hear hear"" lol... . ah well. we learn sommat new everyday... - Rob Sellen :o)

Gotta run, Rob. Thanks for the chat hidden in Robert's rant. : ) - Chris Brogan

lol.. welcome mate.... hang on.. does Robert NOT rant? ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

The 'what tools you use' debate is interesting. While I agree that, as long as you get the job done, the tools don't matter, there's also the ability to understand new paradigms. It's difficult to talk about and grok something without really immersing yourself in it. I didn't get blogging until I really did it. Ditto Twitter. Certainly FriendFeed. They *are* different ... meaningful... more... - AJ Kohn

I really like the comment on social media being about connection vs. the technology that allows it to take place. That is one reason I enjoy friendfeed so much more than twitter & even facebook. Much easier to connect and join conversations with people. I find myself looking at stats of who I am listening to much less in here than twitter. The result, better conversations, more... more... - Kevin Murray

I think Seth is great at what he does, I'm just not sure "Social Media Blogger" is the right description. Perhaps evidence that that's not his focus is that a conversation of this magnitude can go on without his commenting/participating. For anyone interested, here's a post from my blog about something recent I have disagreed with Godin about: http://tinyurl.com/po62js - Brian Broveleit

Chris Brogan rocks! - Morten Blaabjerg

thats ok Morten..as long as it's not while sat in the corner on his own ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

lol - what's so impressive about @chrisbrogan is that he responds - or at least gives the impression that he does. He works like a maniac. And he _gets_ what _it_ is. This makes his posts small gems of insights, even the less revolutionary ones. - Morten Blaabjerg

lol "gives the impression that he does" - what does that even mean morten? - mike "glemak" dunn

Agreed that Chis walks the talk and puts out great stuff. - John Blossom

Seth Godin is practical and sees through the hype - something that most social media commentators are guilty of. - BLOGBloke

Social Networking/Media Sites Staying Relevant: (humor) http://www.youtube.com/watch...& - Kevin Murray

Seth may be an expert in his own realm. Social media is certainly not it, but I have heard Seth make some valuable points about how to not use social media. Obviously Chris is doing something right, as evidenced by showing up to speak him mind, and pay Seth some respect. You gotta respect guys like Chris, Robert, Dave, and Louis (who are the ones on the tip of my tongue right now) -... more... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Ditto Robert! What is it with the "online marketing copywriters" all wanting to act like they're the top social media bloggers now? Oh... that's right... social media is the hip thing! Thus they flock to it. I respect Seth for particular forms of copy writing, but lots of better social media bloggers... like Chris Brogan, like Leslie Poston, like you, and others. - Arleen Anderson

I agree Robert. (And thank you, Arleen *blushes*) Mahalo - Leslie Poston

Amen x heaps! Seth is a genius... but certainly doesn't spring to mind in the context of "top" in social media. Chris is for sure in my top 5!! - Mari Smith

Chris Brogan is the best example of what bloggers should try to achieve, IMO. Like any great writer, his stuff is worth reading even if you are not close tot he subject of a particular post. That means a lot. - randulo

Agreed. Seth stuff is good, but he does he even get social media? - Warren Whitlock

@glemak There are limits to one's attention span when you've got a lot around your ears (like Chris has) but it means a lot that you give the impression that you're listening and responding, even though you may not always be on your high marks. Noone can be. It's only human. But appearances still matter and are greatly appreciated. Chris is good at that too. - Morten Blaabjerg

gotcha - level of attention - mike "glemak" dunn

Thanks to those who mentioned me. Scoble is for sure one I looked up to and still do. - Jeremiah Owyang

Jeremiah isnt the best at what he does - he's just the only one who does it! ;) - let's not be exclusionary - thank you to all the top minds for sharing. - Richard Zeidel

I think Chris Brogan is THE man. Many of the social media experts are now engaging only with those who are also 'experts' and not with the new comers or followers. Brogan, on the other hand, very rarely to missed a conversation. As for marketing bloggers, I still stand behind Kyle Lacy as the best one. - Gambit Fauri

Seth "gets" social media tools but he is not the top participant--where Chris is. I am dubious, however, of claims that Seth is not a conversationalist. Have you ever sent him an email? He personally takes time to respond to every email thoughtfully and quickly, which is more than I can say for a number of social media stars (or even myself). - Jeremy Floyd

Lately I have been reading more of Chris has to say, that said does it really matter who is the top? - Chet Woodside

SCOBLEIZER - Do you grant variance from the "No deleting your comments and altering the thread mother fuckers" rule if you're doing it simply to kill a thread from your "My Discussions" filter so it stops popping like popcorn on your notifier? - Matthew DeVries

Matthew: that is an interesting problem. I wish clicking "hide" were good enough for that. - Robert Scoble

As do I. - Matthew DeVries

Godin doesn't allow 2-way participation, thus negating the openness principle of social media (no replies on his blog, not on twitter). He's just repurposed the blog to act as a writing platform for material for his books. He's very tactic based and without a huge depth of substance, but that's what people like; though it's not necessarily good for them. - Aaron Shields

as a technologist, focused on emerging media yet appreciating the fine art of marketing - i learn little from seth (noise) and tons from chris (signal) - that's my experience of course, your mileage may vary ;) - mike "glemak" dunn

Our flying Dutchman makes the Reich Museum look like a tourist trap. Should be on the top 5 things to do when you are in Amsterdam. Very bright, clear thinker. If you ever get fired for being "too open with your ideas" Chris you can work for me! - Chad Harris

Agreed, Brogan all the way. - Jim Gaudet

Brogan is amazing - Peter Efland

Chris Brogan is an active interlocutor in ways Godin isn't. Still, who is #1 isn't as important as who is providing content that you need. I respect Godin. Have read lot of his books. But still, Brogan is my fav. - Prof. Pamela Hood

Seth is a pure-play Social Media thought leader. Chris participates in the SM stream so he gets my respect for walking the walk and talking the talk. - Michael McDermott

I'll give props to Chris Brogan in this so-called "social media" space, insightful, valuable, interesting. And I will give a lifetime achievement award to Dave Winer, I was reading Scripting News BEFORE the word "blog" was coined by EvHead and MegNut. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Winer "teach" you how to blog Scoble? One thing that continues to exist that I wish would go away, but probably never will is this whole "leaderboard" mentality... is there some contest? <sigh> - .LAG liked that

I agree with Scoble, Chris is here in the trenches and impressively dedicated. - anthonycospito

Methinks Brogan is sending his cousins over here. :-) - BLOGBloke

In my view the better a Blogger is the more comments they will receive. Seth Godin does not even have comments enabled on his blog. - Garin Kilpatrick

Shows how "social" he is at the very least. I don't completely agree that a blogger needs to receive comments to be "better" - but you can't really be a "social" media blogger without being "social". - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Και δεν είναι μόνο αυτό φυσικά αλλά τουλάχιστον αυτό δίνει βάση σε μια συζήτηση... - Simos Kosmetatos (e-go)

το FF είναι καλύτερο απο το twitter. Απλά το twitter είναι πιο απλό και straightforward - Chris Pantazis

όχι νομίζω ότι και τα δύο έχουν τα καλά τους και τα κακά τους - αναλόγως τί θέλεις να κάνεις. Δηλαδή αν θέλεις να κάνεις μια συζήτηση και να την παρακολουθήσεις χωρίς απαραίτητα να είσαι online συνέχεια τότε το twitter δεν αρκεί (γι'αυτό δεν ανακαλύφθηκαν τα hash tags ας πούμε;). Από την άλλη αν απλά βλέπεις τί κάνει ο κόσμος και ο κόσμος θέλεις να βλέπει τί κάνεις εσύ το twitter είναι μια χαρά. - sofiagk

το ερωτημα ειναι: υπαρχει κατι στο twitter που δε το εχει το ff; πιστευω πως οχι - Save As : Panos

επί του παρόντος; σίγουρα. brand visibility - sofiagk

το twitter είναι η επόμενη μεγάλη "φάση" για το starter κοινό. Όμως δεν είναι τόσο fun όσο το Facebook και ίσως το βαρεθούν γρήγορα. Όμως θα μπουν σε μια "διαδικτυακή συνήθεια" που στη συνέχεια το Friendfeed θα είναι γι'αυτούς ότι πρέπει... Πάντως microblogging χωρίς φωτογραφίες δεν γίνεται. Κι εκεί είναι το μείον του twitter. Εκεί και στις συζητήσεις.... - Simos Kosmetatos (e-go)

αντιθέτως, εγώ το βρίσκω λίγο δύσκολο να ξεκινήσει μια συζήτηση στο friendfeed. Λόγω το ότι χάνεται μέσα στο όλο stream πάρα πολύ γρήγορα. Ενώ π.χ. στο twitter υπάρχουν τα @replies. Δεν χάνεις κάτι. - Apostolos Papadopoulos

ναι αλλά κάθε φορά που προσθέτεις εσύ ένα σχόλιο, επανέρχεται το θέμα στην πρώτη σελίδα. Άσε που άμα πατήσεις στο προφίλ σου "comments" εμφανίζει όλα τα σχόλιά σου. Επιπλέον, εγώ που φιλοξενώ το αρχικό, δέχομαι email κάθε φορά που κάποιος σχολιάζει για να δω την απάντησή του. Στο Twitter απλά ψάχνεσαι και όταν βρεις την απάντηση και απαντήσεις, 8 ώρες μετά, ο άλλος ψάχνεται τι του λες και για ποιο θέμα.. - Simos Kosmetatos (e-go)

δέχεσαι email? από πότε? Απ' την πρώτη στιγμή αναζητούσα αυτό το option! έ-λ-ε-ο-ς!!! - Apostolos Papadopoulos

δέχομαι όταν σχολιάσετε σε κάτι που έγραψα εγώ πρώτος εδώ - settings - email pref - τσεκ για όποια ενέργεια θες να ενημερώνεσαι μέσω email ή μέσω im - Simos Kosmetatos (e-go)

cool. thanks :D - Apostolos Papadopoulos

όμως εάν εξαιρέσεις το Gtalk δεν υπάρχει κάποιος client για το Friendfeed. Στα μείον αυτό για εμένα. - Apostolos Papadopoulos

άμα αναπτυχθεί θα υπάρξουν. Αλλά είναι αρκετά πλήρες για να μην χρειάζεται κανέναν σε αρχικό επίπεδο. Όχι όπως στο Twitter που ψάχνεις να βρεις γιατρειά εδώ κι εκεί... - Simos Kosmetatos (e-go)

ναι, αλλά δεν είναι λίγο δύσκολο να έχεις πάντα ένα tab ανοιχτό στον browser μόνο για το Friendfeed? Βέβαια, τώρα εγώ από το Gtalk γράφω το σχόλιο.. Πάντως αρχίζω και το βλέπω πιο θετικά πλέον για συζητήσεις. Βλέπουμε... - Apostolos Papadopoulos from IM

είναι ναι. Αλλά προσωπικά δεν είμαι συνέχεια εδώ, έρχομαι μια στο τόσο και βλέπω "τι παίζει". Και βοηθά πολύ σε αυτό... Έχω κάνει κι ομαδούλες και με δυο κλικ ξέρω τι έχει συμβεί, βλέπω αυτά που θέλω και απαντώ. Και ξέρω ότι ο άλλος θα καταλάβει τι απάντησα και ότι θα το δει... - Simos Kosmetatos (e-go)

έχεις ένα point, ok. Όπως είπα βλέπουμε... :-) - Apostolos Papadopoulos from IM

φανταστειτε τωρα αυτη τη κουβεντα στο twitter :-) - Save As : Panos

τη φαντάζομαι. Ας μην ξεχνάμε όμως και ότι άλλο target έχει το Τwitter άλλο το Friendfeed. Διαφορετικό σκοπό+usability. :) - Apostolos Papadopoulos from IM

Ev is now crying uncle on the replies issue. Dear Twitter, start being more transparent. You're a utility now.

Don't go changing the dang thing before I can blog about it! lol - AJ Kohn

They completely overwrote half of their original blog post on the issue - Jesse Stay

Reading people's thoughts? Now? Didn't bother to research it before? Hmmmmm... - Michael McKean

@Jesse: You're right. The whole second section has been rewritten. - AJ Kohn

@Michael Absolutely, there should always be user research before changes like this - Mo Kargas

Hence my note to Ev. We are happy to provide feedback in advance. - Louis Gray

Although "considering alternatives" implies to me that they're not going to just turn the setting back on... - Costa Walcott

Twitter = design by flames - Morton Fox

They can discuss this in their lunch-hour downtime tomorrow. - John Spyers

$5 says they deleted the code - Jesse Stay

lol @ Jesse - jojo, adventurer

@Jesse, Reality shows are always in rewrites ;) - Micah Wittman

@Michael - same thing happened when they turned off free SMS for a bunch of countries - as far as I was aware there was no prior warning, they just flicked the switch. Admittedly, the free SMS was costing them money, but some form of advance warning would have been nice.. - Matt Hooper

evhead is on friendfeed, ya know? http://friendfeed.com/evhead... - Chris Heath

From the newly written second part of the blog: "We'll be introducing better ways to discover and follow interesting accounts as we release more features in this space." So, perhaps they have some new feature that would trump seeing @replies? Either way, wouldn't you introduce the new feature and then sunset the old - phased approach - or at least do a switchover from one to the other. - AJ Kohn

In that little screen grab, the favorite star is not marked. ;) ;) - David Damore

Sorry, David. I recommend downloading the image, opening it in PhotoShop and utilizing the Fill Bucket. - Louis Gray

It's nice to know they're listening for once. I wonder how many complaints they received. - Michael Fidler

Ev is pulling a Zuckerberg. - Violet Mae Lim

Alternative (check or uncheck): "[ X ] Only show replies to those I follow." Eureka! Alternative-ness was already there. Back where we started. - Micah Wittman

Go ev. It's nice when people can at least consider that they've made a mistake. We all make mistakes. How you handle them is a sign of character. - Mitchell Tsai

@Micah: +3 @Mitchell: Completely agree. - AJ Kohn

Got to check out the action on http://monitter.com Add @replies to one row - Michael Fidler

before our tears hit the floor, @ev responds to #fixreplies - iTbay

I'm in shock. Twitter has always done right by the community. They screwed the pooch on this one. - drew olanoff

Thanks for your feedback? Seriously? Am I in the damn twilight zone? The blog post called this "confusing" Yet um its the only way my mom knew who to follow. - drew olanoff

@drew now that's the best use case example right there! :) - Matt Hooper

#supportdrewsmom - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo

Oh, and re Twitter doing right by the community...ask @jesse about the advance notice provided by Twitter to 3rd party developers before the API is changed, or a usage restriction is imposed. Sometimes there is no warning, and 3rd party apps are broken. - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo

Ev is essentially now saying we should have seen it coming, because of this blog post he wrote a year ago. http://bit.ly/vfKY - Sharon McPherson

I am seriously baffled by their logic. I need to sleep on this since the thoughts behind this is driving me batty. How can they push this option on to people? I really don't understand lol! - Mona Nomura

Couldn't care less about the feature; this was one of the first things I disabled anyway. But I get really upset for twitter fixing something that wasn't broken, and taking away flexibility from the users. Just stupid. - gui ambros

gui: it wasn't something you would have disabled... the default was to have this feature turned off - i guess you would say that you never turned it on, since it was never on for you to disable it - Chris Heath

I'm not sure that @Ev alone is responsible for this decision. I hate this decision but I don't think it was made by one person alone. After all, @Biz wrote the blog entries explaining it all. I bet it was just a terrible group decision. - Liz

"Group think" is a crusher. Gonna be a busy week at Twitter HQ sorting this mess out/fixing it - David Damore

I think I missed something.......hmmmmmmm. time to go dig around. =) - jen

On what point of the learning curve they are? - 77Agency
