In Italy 90% at least! I supposu a lower % in the States - Sara Maternini

I like to think those as "softlinks". The same way "hardlinking" connects technologies like QR codes to the web, the importance of placing an URL in the effectiveness of your communication strategy is something worthy of research. Perhaps Forrester will do something about it :) - Armando Alves

Sabias que podes adicionar automaticamente a foto com o bookmarklet ? - Armando Alves

I tried that a couple of times, but was unsuccessful. Maybe I suck, maybe my browser sucks, maybe the bookmarklet sucks: I'll have to spend some time finding out the culprit :-) - Marcos Marado via fftogo

A melhor participação olímpica de sempre

Não tinha ideia que o povo 2.0 andava de candeias às avessas com a participação olímpica. Julguei que era apenas a silly season e sol a mais na moleirinha que os levava a fazer tais comentários. Como agora, em que deve faltar pouco para virem dizer que apenas os atletas do Benfica é que demonstram brio. - Armando Alves via twhirl

reading stuff like this.... i am excited for the future. it changes the way we do business... again. - Stewart Rogers

There are still skeptics (http://tinyurl.com/64tugy), but then again it's how most people react to innovations. The other day i was discussing almost the same subject on your post with a friend, and realized that once the "cloud" reaches a tipping point, it will foster economies of scale, more innovation, better education, a ripple effect to the whole society. Or so i hope. - Armando Alves

“I really like Friendfeed but I really don't like when it sends me info from friends of friends, I already have enough from my friends”

totally agree with you on this one - Xavier Bartholome

Yeah, just turn it off. You'll be sealing yourself into a nice tight box, though :) - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

I love that feature. But, yes, you can turn it off. - Yolanda

you can also turn it off (well, hide at least) on a case by case basis. That way you get to judge each one of your friend's friends. - Judgy McJudgerson. - Laura Norvig

By default I've disabled friend of friend & last.fm, that keeps things manageable - Cains

Here's a how-to on hiding: http://tinyurl.com/ffhide. Choose "hide all stuff from friends-of-friends" - Louis Gray

erm... i've just spent ten minutes looking to see how to turn it off... am i missing something obvious? - Dean Whitbread

Click Hide (next to the 'like' button) --> See more options --> Select 'hide all stuff from friends-of-friends' , Loic :) http://img.skitch.com/20080820... - Mona N.

thanks so much :) - Dean Whitbread

And I just love to get the info from FoF (= friends of friends). It's taking me to news I otherwise wouldn't pay attention to, wouldn't notice either. Besides that: it's probably worth looking at, because otherwise friends wouldn't 'like' it or comment on it. It's a great invention of FF. - Ton Zijp

thanks, will turn it off to see if I miss it - Loic Le Meur

Interesting that the people who say this usually are treating FriendFeed as a way to get messages out, but aren't participating in FriendFeed as much. I understand that in Loic's position, since he is CEO of Seesmic and probably wants to spend most of his participation time over on Seesmic instead of over here. To turn this feature off, just use the "Hide" feature. I personally LOVE finding new friends through this feature, though. Please keep liking your friends who you want me to see! - Robert Scoble

FoF and the general feed overflow with time get kicked with the selective attention bias. In cognitive terms, it's the same when you're in a cocktail party and block all the other noises to listen to the interesting talk in your group. With time, we'll get used to FoF and learn to block what doesn't matter. - Armando Alves

Who is Loic Le Meur, and why is Scoble sending me messages from him? - Morgan Warstler

Robert, you know how much I love discovering new friends, please note I still have the autofollow on my twitter ON so I follow 10000+ people there... I am very active on Friendfeed this is why I am trying not to follow that many people here. To discover new content I use more Twitter, to get the content that is super important to me I use more FF. Two different choices. I am experimenting, this is clearly not perfect. - Loic Le Meur

Morgan: funny. Loic Le Meur is CEO of Seesmic. - Robert Scoble

Who is that Robert Scoble I keep getting noise from in my Friendfeed? :P - Loic Le Meur

You can say that agin. I really don't like that little feature. Have I missed where to turn that off? - Niklas Pivic via twhirl

Niklas: yes, you click "Hide" and then click it again to get all the options. Turn off Friend-of-a-Friend. - Robert Scoble

@Loic : 1 solution find 1 friend which have a maximum of friends in common with you and only subscribe to this one. Or head to http://ffapps.com/ and install the Greasmonkey script Friends & Group which allows you to define...well...groups of friends which will be displayed as tabs (et désolé si l'anglais est pas parfait) - Olivier

@scobleizer: thanks, and thanks to @louisgray for the link on how to specifically do it! - Niklas Pivic via twhirl

sort of ironic, coming from a friend-of-a-friend, but I have to say: Amen. - Josh McHugh

I love the feature. I find so many interesting people this way. - Jonathan (Vacation Boy)
