Economy grows in 3Q, signals end of recession - The Associated Press - http://news.google.com/news...
Yeah ok, what about the $53 trillion in unfundable liabilities (promised benefits from SS and Medicare) coupled with the facts that 70% of our GDP is consumer-based and meanwhile our #1 spending demographic (Boomers) is going to trend downward (as they pass away) over the next 20 years or so? Might be a bit premature to break out the bubbly and toast to a saved economy.

Official Google Reader Blog: PubSubHubbub support for Reader shared items - http://googlereader.blogspot.com/2009...

NOOOOOOO WAY!!! TOO COOL!!! And finally!

Now if they can just fix the speed issues of Google Reader's web client itself
- Jesse Stay
I shared this very item from Reader about 4 minutes ago. It has not shown up.
- DGentry
Weird, isn't working for me either...
- Jorge Escobar
Jorge: Your FriendFeed profile is configed to take in FF links through the feedbuster thingy, so you won't get this behavior. If you use FF's built-in handling of Google Reader shared items, it'll work.
- Brett Slatkin
And so Brett saved the day. ;)
- Jorge Escobar
BUT -- will the images show? No. Argh. Middle ground.
- Jorge Escobar
You'll have to follow up with the FF guys when it comes to images. Sounds like a feature request!
- Brett Slatkin
from email
Or the Google Reader guys. If Google Reader just produced their Feeds in MediaRSS format the feeds would be automatically imported into FF with images.
- Jesse Stay
the switch looks off to me.
- Caio
I got this working with Google Reader but it was not all that easy to find the URL for sharing. Even with the hint from FF, I had to poke around in Google Reader to locate the right address. Maybe a small usability point here but it could make a difference in use of this with Google Reader.
- Hans Eisenman
+1000 Jesse - YES, MediaRSS format would be the way to go.
- Susan Beebe
This is the beginning of something really good.

@Jorge - Whoops, sorry 'bout that. I'm working on getting feed-buster to play nice with PSHB :).
- Ivan Zuzak
@Brett - I'm actually working on porting feedbuster to PSHB using superfeedr and some of the open-source code from the reference hub implementation. I've exchanged a few e-mail with Julien (from Superfeedr) about the larger issue behind this - RSS/ATOM/PSHB architecture does not support end-user defined insertion of feed processing services (e.g. feed-buster) into the flow of delivering...

- Ivan Zuzak
Hey Ivan! That sounds like a great topic to research. Would love to have a wiki page devoted to this concept. The idea of composition and filtering works like this: 1) Feedbuster provides a virtual feed which advertises itself as a Hub, 2) User adds the "busted" URL to FriendFeed, 3) FriendFeed requests a subscription for the feed from Feedbuster, 4) feedbuster pulls the original feed,...

- Brett Slatkin
Another solution is to enable callbacks in the filters themselves, like we saw yesterday with webhooks. Say you have a filter at http://myfilter.com/subscri.... and you want to receive notifications on http://final_client.com. You would then provide the following url to the hub : http://myfilter.com/subscri... The filter would then have to 1: redirect...

- Julien
@Brett - thanks! I'm glad you think there's something *there*. I'm definitely up for writing a wiki for the concept. :) Also, what you outlined is actually exactly what my idea is for the new feed-buster prototype and what I'm in the process of implementing. Though, what I was trying to stress is - doesn't it seem like a lot of overhead for a conceptually simple thing? Developing a...

I think it would be a reasonable extension to the protocol, but one of our goals here is to keep the core protocol as simple as possible. I'm working on a way to formalize these protocol extensions and keep a catalog of them, as well as discovery.
- Brett Slatkin
@Julien - that's a cool idea - hooks-within-hooks. So, in case of FriendFeed and feedbuster, what would be the callback (http://final_client.com/) where the notifications would be sent? Is it the Friendfeed URL for receiving PSHB notifications?
- Ivan Zuzak
Hum, that is not very clear to me what you're trying to do. Do you want to post some content to friendfeed through feedbuster?
- Julien
@Julien - I'm sorry, let me clarify. Let's say a FF user wants to use feed-buster as a filter in the way you described - she wants to import a feedbuster-processed feed into FriendFeed with pshb support. In order to import a feed, FF asks the user to enter the feed URL, and my question was - what would that full URL be?
- Ivan Zuzak
hum... it should be something like http://feedbuster.com/... In this case you wouldn't need the callback, because you can't "control" FF's abililty to receive pings. However, if you add the <atom rel="hub"> link at the top of this generated feed, FF should take that into account and fetch the content right after they receive a notification. (please let's continue this chat somewhere else, since I always forget to come here;))
- Julien
the name itself, PubSubHubbub, triggered my interest. I kind of understood it was about pulling not pushing (or vice-versa) but stayed pretty much at the doorstep. I'm eager to learn more about it though.
- lelapin
@Julien - agreed. Let's continue this off FF.

RT @pauljacobson With Twitter being sued for patent infringement, this is a great time to check out #FriendFeed ... just in case
they are getting sued? First Skype and now Twitter. Who's next? Facebook?
- Hans Eisenman
Yeah @KNAjit I don't get the unfollowing fuss either. Just comment on FriendFeed here, for instance, to get me to follow you:
Body Indigo, Timothy Federwitz, Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic and 24 other people liked this
I will follow you on FriendFeed. Why here? Because I can put people into lists. On Twitter I don't have that ability. What's wacked is I actually read a lot more people's stuff on FriendFeed than I ever did on Twitter. I think the real fuss is due to those jerks who did autofollowing schemes to help people get lots of followers artificially. That and SEO types who only are in it for the game of getting more followers and links.
- Robert Scoble
I got my first official "Unfollowing you for not following back" @ reply today... Weird people, especially if you try to sell things - which the person who send me that is trying.
- Holger Eilhard
Yeah, like this guy: http://twitter.com/webaddict
- Robert Scoble
hahaha, it's all rather hilarious really. No one else I know in the world, in person, cares about any of this junk tho :(
- Mark
You know, some people consider "following" as an active form of politeness : fail, they didn't get the networking concept at all. Some other don't get the concept of "spring cleaning" either. So, I can understand that some people don't understand the concept of "social network spring cleaning"...
- Zackatoustra
Yeah, I know. Here's his Tweet: http://twitter.com/webaddi... -- he claims I'm gaming my way to more followers (he's autofollowing too, so isn't that like the kettle calling the pot black?) Plus he's an SEO expert.
- Robert Scoble
In my case it was http://twitter.com/network...
- Holger Eilhard
Holger: yeah, it's amazing that people think that's cool. If those folks ever move over here to FriendFeed then I'll know it's time to move on.
- Robert Scoble
Some expert, his website was last updated with a social media post in May
- Mark
It's getting to the point one has to go for quality over on Twitter, not quantity, now.
- George Hall (Australia)
I cut myself back to 280 I follow and 320 followers.
- George Hall (Australia)
There must be a social media expert School around here someplace.
- Mark
And then there's all this "Pay us for followers" thing going on... In various ways, either by being featured on a "big" website or - the really stupid way - by being followed by some bots, which will be deleted sooner or later...
- Holger Eilhard
I did the unfollow thing once on Twitter because I couldn't read all the noise, then, I added a bunch of people back because I convinced myself that I shouldn't read all the noise. Now, I'm leaning towards a lean following list again. Thanks for the boost.
- Adam
Well, @JeffreyHayzlett is one person who still thinks following back is a polite thing to do.
- K N Ajit Narayan
Interesting, not a single new FriendFeed user has joined this comment area. I'm already following everyone who has commented here. So, I guess the migration is already complete.
- Robert Scoble
Hmmm - its this type of effort to evade the bots that makes me things may all break down into a soup of failure. Why can't the follow system only actually *follow* someone if there's a two-conversation at least once?
- Justin Howard
K N: the thing is I know that person is NOT reading your Tweets. there's no way he can, especially if he's a busy executive.
- Robert Scoble
Well Sir Robert of Scoble, you did say a while back Friendfeed growth has stagnated but all other social sites are growing exponentially :(
- Mark
Mark: that is true, but Facebook is doing it by getting normal people to join up. Twitter is doing it because of celebrities. FriendFeed's growth will be slower and more organic.
- Robert Scoble
Mark...don't worry, I think Friendfeed could still catch up. Especially if people are finding Twitter needs too much spring-cleaning too often.
- George Hall (Australia)
Robert: What's the difference for you with following x thousand people on FF but not on Twitter? Are you using the Hide feature much and/or do you use many lists? Sorry, if this has been asked over and over.
- Holger Eilhard
George: that's true. If FriendFeed hits the right UI they could really take off well.
- Robert Scoble
Holger: I use lists. I need to do a video explaining my new methodology. But generally the smaller lists are more useful. Same on Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
well they have plenty of smart people working at FF
- Mark
If (when) twitter releases Group support, you will have to go back and start all over again rob :D
- Mark
Robert: I don't think FF is that far away now from hitting its critical mass to take-off. That spammer situation on Twitter is starting to make it less joyful to use.
- George Hall (Australia)
Mark: nope, I'll be in a great position! My first group is already complete. :-)
- Robert Scoble
God those spammers are annoying, I was reporting them to @Spam from the public timeline yesterday. Twitter seems to act on @Spam very quickly
- Mark
Robert: The UI is a major problem with FF. I still don't feel like using it. Only @Scobleizer brings me back to FF :(
- K N Ajit Narayan
Heck, if the situation on Twitter is such I can safely trim/block around 400-500 people, it means it isn't really that valuable in the long term.
- George Hall (Australia)
Mark: yeah, spam noise in search really makes things suck. In FriendFeed you can search by groups. That is so freaking cool.
- Robert Scoble
K N: have you tried a different theme yet: http://friendfeed.com/setting... I use Grasslands and like it better.
- Robert Scoble
I'm also noting that real and talkative/friendly NEW followers on Twiter are getting fewer and far between.
- George Hall (Australia)
George I've noticed that new users are hard to get here too.
- Robert Scoble
But at least the subscibers here are great to talk with.
- George Hall (Australia)
Yup, agreed! The community here is a lot more fun.
- Robert Scoble
was this true Rob? http://ff.im/698cg
- Mark
Robert: Hmm, Grasslands looks better. Will give FF another chance.
- K N Ajit Narayan
There is something about destroytwitter.com client that has me not use FriendFeed more though... I really like a skinny window sitting on the desktop that i can glance at occasionally :) re the unfollow thing - I get lots of randoms following me that I'm not going to follow back - don't interest me
- Nicholas Orr
In terms of enjoyable experience, I think I've enjoyed this past week here on Friendfeed a bit better than I enjoyed the Twitter experience in the same period. The gloss is really starting to come off Twitter itself, although a lot of my social media friends are there.
- George Hall (Australia)
Why would you want someone who would not be able to see your posts to follow you? Numbers?
- Anton Tanderup
Mark, yeah, that was true, a couple of times.
- Robert Scoble
Robert - I think you do such a great job about discussion the "new tech" and trends and now trying to bring the tech stuff to small business. I thought you followed so many people becasue they could lead you to something new stuff you have not seen or ware of. What has changed? do you have new sources that can keep you updated? I assume as you said before FF is enough for that ..right? Joao/Techfuga
- TechFuga
I'll venture a guess Twitter's own spammer purge showed us all something about the follower lists we hadn't noticed before.
- George Hall (Australia)
Anton: why wouldn't a follower be able to see you? I don't get that.
- Robert Scoble
I always thought it was great that you followed me, but I don't think I offer that much in the way of "value." :-) So I'm not put out.... Seriously.
- Joanmarie
Joanmarie: I follow you here already.
- Robert Scoble
One other thing: you should get a return on your investment/time..I hope you already do with RackSpace :). By the way we changed all our hosting architecture to Cloud at RackSpace thanks to you and thanks to me following you here in FF. we are very very happy ...please tell that to your boss at RackSpace....Joao/Techfuga
- TechFuga
Robert: If he's following 100k people :)
- Anton Tanderup
Robert - This is what I was getting at yesterday; even though you might not follow me on Twitter, I know you'll see - and respond to, when appropriate - any comments I make here on FF, so I'm not "missing out" by you not following me.
- Andrew Terry
I always wondered how you made sense of a 10k+ person stream, Robert.
- Tech Introvert
Tech: big screens and FriendFeed. That took most of my attention over past 18 months. Now I saw that Twitter really was a chore and wasn't fun because of all the spam. Now it's a lot nicer.
- Robert Scoble
I like to talk to real people not spam bots
- Randy Allen Bishop
I get so much more information from friendfeed, and I follow significantly less people.
- Jordan Patterson
Lists are very powerful in lieu of better information tagging tools. Search is even stronger but requires me manually poking around

You finaly got me to sign up - I resisted this long. In my head I guess i was getting my head round twitter, last thing I needed was to get my head round twitter 2.0 aswell.. but it ocured to me, the worst case, is its like a client for twitter, and a post you did a few days ago, sugested, maybe using twitter as a client for FF.. Anyway, can't hurt to have a go, can it!
- Nathan Vingoe
I feel the same as Joanmarie. I'm not likely to be the one to break new tech news, so don't know that my tweets contribute much value to Robert's stream. Pretty sure I can just @scobleizer if I really feel like I'm on to something. I constantly try to keep my follows lean, and spend way too much time checking out new followers who I have no idea why they follow me.
- motownmutt
I don't see much spam at all on Twitter, but that may be because I follow maybe 1 person for every 30 or so that follow me (300:9000). I think spam is the result of "courtesy" following if someone follows you - in other words, you cause your own spam.
- Trent Hamm

I posted this two days ago (But I'm not Scoble so very few saw): So if you follow someone on Friendfeed, should you unfollow them on Twitter? Why not?
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
scobleizer has been following me here on ff ever since i started participating... i was very flattered, until i learned that he just followed everyone
- Chris Heath
Appreciate Scoble's embrace of innovative & effective ways to communicate, including video, which we're all about. We've been kind of obsessing over your work lately on http://www.market7.com/blog and hope we'll have opportunity to meet again soon (last time was at Salt Lick in Austin) -- next time hopefully over our web service for better video production instead of an awesome plate of ribs
- Market7
I really don't see Twitter and FriendFeed as having the same uses. I use twitter to communicate with my real life friends, for the most part. FF is more about conversations on things that interest me. Sure, some of my RLFriends are here, and I follow them, but that's not the primary use I get from FF.
- Otto
Looking forward to joining the conversation here too...
- Brian Baumley
Im gonna use the Screen Door Analogy ,, I recently put the Screendoor on my Twitter "the lock on my account " it allows me to control all the bugs coming in and I still get all the fresh air and the same view
- johnpiercy
The ability to put people on lists here on Friendfeed makes it very easy to use it for real friends and as a way to keep up with other interesting people and thus seems to me that it's just a matter of time before it replaces twitter if people really use that feature.
- russellcoleman
I think Samuel is the first person I've seen that uses Twitter as a real life friend system (instead of Facebook) and FriendFeed as the wide open conversation tool. Usually I see Friendfeeders were/are wide open Twitter users as well (the gateway drug). I'm sure there are more using the tools that way, I just find that perspective interesting.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
FF is great for those who like to share visually as well as converse ,, Twitter is the quick water cooler chat , FF is the dinner time chat
- johnpiercy
I think the problem for some people is that they want a higher number of followers and so may not want to unfollow people—even if they are just spammers. Personally I'd rather have a smaller network of people following me who are actually interested in what I post on Twitter. (And who actually read their Twitter messages at least once in a while.)
- David Rondeau
Hi Robert! I follow you on twitter and FF. I like to keep up with you since I'm an avid social media user and new media content producer. @marylynn3 here & on Twitter.
- Mary-Lynn
You better be following me, is all I can say :-) Course, I'm on Friend Feed too.
- Jay Rosen
Robert, I continue to be amazed at how you do what you do, across what, 20 different social media channels? When do you sleep exactly? Would be great if you could add me to your follow list, thanks
- Scott Booher
If someone follows me on Twitter, I read every profile, the stream, their profile/blog link, and then decide. It does take time, (& I follow a bunch), but worth it to me. I like to read what great minds are thinking. On Twitter however, the increase in Spammers has really driven me to look for better ways to engage. I hate housecleaning.
- Karen Masullo
On Twitter I usually first follow lots of people and sort them out later - tweet by tweet. I also follow more than 2k people on FriendFeed, and it's fun! If it gets to much for you: The group function will help. Greets from Germany! :-)
- Kolja
I really only read anything on FF. I go follow people on Twitter and then update from FF. That's the extent of my twitter interactions. I have one problem though: you can't insert a line break on these comments, so I inadvertently post before I'm finished. Btw, I don't mind if you don't follow me since I'm a bit boring. Your posts, on the other hand, are like mini conversations; It's awesome!
- Californian
Mark Nielsen: I use Facebook as a real life friend system too. Realistically, I think of Twitter much more in the way I think of TXT messaging. Because that's obviously the underlying design principle there: Broadcast SMS Messages. So, on that level, I tend to only want to receive the text messages of people I know and of services I use. This limits who I follow to those that I want to have two-way conversations with, which tends to be people I know IRL.
- Otto
Makes sense.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
You know, I haven't even checked to see if you follow me anymore or not. I think people will just get over themselves and make social media work in whatever way is best for them. I'm trimming out the SEO junk from my time line, but I find value in following real people on Twitter be it 100 or 600. It's not fair to call people 'noise', just trim out the people you're not interested in keeping up with and be done with it. Right?
- Mike Lewis
If someone follows me, I look at this as an opportunity to see what they write about (be it on Twitter or Friendfeed). If they are funny or interesting, I follow back. But if they don't continue to be interesting or funny, I unfollow. There's just too much information and I want to absorb some of it - and not waste time or brain cells on the uninteresting (or unfunny).
- amygeek
I agree Robert. I tend to read much more of the posts and comments out there in FF than I ever did/do/would on Twitter. I love Twitter's simplicity, but it's a bit too simple sometimes--mostly on the sharing side of the thing. The Like and Comment features are my faves for both FF and Facebook.

I'm thinking that I might have to start giving my FriendFeed account much more attention. On Twitter I have 2 orders of magnitude less followers than you Robert, but even for me the spam is starting to get a bit ridiculous. It does seem to be becoming a haven for spammers & scammers and not the networking place that I really enjoyed for quite a while. If Twitter doesn't want to die before it reaches maturity, it really needs to find a way to control spam & find a way to build community in new ways.
- David van Sunder
<chuckles> scobleizer does a mass unfollow and it generates some decent discussion on the negatives of twitter. Its almost fun watching the people who follow you promptly unfollow you a week later because you didnt follow back.. for about a week. I keep saying it would be good to add a meta layer to twitter (or maybe friendfeed would do it?) that allows for some context or grouping. Not everyone wants to see all of someone's tweets.

I've ALWAYS said who you follow is more important than who is following you. Now I'm putting that into practice even more. If you're following me just to have me follow you back you're following me for the wrong reason.

It really doesn't matter what social network you using there are going to be a group that you connect and interact with regularly and the rest of your following. My reach is farther than what I see everyday, then again maybe I have just fallen for the hype.

Agreed, never follow just for the follow back. As for the inability to put people on lists on Twitter, there are twitter clients that work just as well.
- Brian Ellis
Robert's right. I'm almost a fanatic about that.
- Dennis Jernberg
I don't see it as necessary to follow someone both on Twitter and Friendfeed. Although I generally like to catch what you have to say, Robert , so I follow you on both services.

Loved your blog post. Still trying to figure out how to make the most of FriendFeed, but following you is probably a good start.
- Ed
I personally find FriendFeed to be more pleasing because of the ease in following threaded conversations. But I have been using TweetDeck and it allows me to place tweeps in groups/columns, similar to FF groups, so I can parse out things I WANT to see. However, I was following anyone who followed me, and now I have a lot of spam and market/MLM posts that I need to sift through... annoying. I will be going on an unfollow twitter spree once it's back up and stable from the DoS attacks.

Vitamin D Data To Go Along--Good To Know Re: SwineFlu - http://www.uctv.tv/search-...
Vitamin D Prevents Cancer: Is It True? In a new study, researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center used a complex computer prediction model to determine that intake of vitamin D3 and calcium would prevent 58,000 new cases of breast cancer and 49,000 new cases of colorectal cancer annually in the US and Canada. The researchers' model also predicted that 75% of deaths from these cancers could be prevented with adequate intake of vitamin D3 and calcium.

New Evidence: That The ‘Swine Flu’ Pandemic Is Man-Made - http://www.daily.pk/7780...
Murder suspects are either convicted or acquitted at trial based on the prosecution’s presentation of EVIDENCE which usually hinges on MOTIVE, OPPORTUNITY, and TIME-LINES combined with physical documents. To gather such hard evidence, detectives and/or federal agents often spend months following leads and interviewing witnesses. In the trial phase, re-creating the sequence of events is essential. I submit this paper will provide more than enough hard evidence to at least result in a series of criminal indictments of charges of MASS MURDER, and CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT WORLD GENOCIDE against Novartis Pharmaceutical principals and agents and others.

DAWN.COM | World | Is there life after democracy? - http://www.dawn.com/wps...
While we’re still arguing about whether there’s life after death, can we add another question to the cart? Is there life after democracy? What sort of life will it be? By democracy I don’t mean democracy as an ideal or an aspiration. I mean the working model: Western liberal democracy, and its variants, such as they are. So, is there life after democracy?
