So dave winer publishes the most links of everyone?
- Jesse Stay
no, he has more tweets that are good, than the others
- Mark
Mark, Dave's probably the exception (and well deserving of the spot), but the rest seem to post mostly links (note that I'm friends with several of them - not objecting, just observing)
- Jesse Stay
Did you know that when twitter suspends an account, the email includes a link to a page about why you may have been suspended and one of the rules is posting links too often instead of personal updates. Seriously.
- Mark
nice!

Mark, I heard it's a certain type of links. It happened to Leora Israel while we hanging out in NY recently.

Good to see you here, Mike. Thanks for the 'like'.
- Louis Gray
Louis, this is why I continue to be honored by the opportunity write with you and read what you put out. You are congruent and ethical... choosing what is right over what might get a surge of page views and be wrong. You also exhibit a clear vision of what it is you stand for, and don't deviate from that course regardless because in your heart you are right. For these reasons, you are someone to be admired. In a sea of turmoil and gossip, you - your brand - stands out like a lighthouse on the rocky crags.

"Backtype is an interesting service. The ones I like are always those that I could see using, and can't wait to either talk about or see others find out and grasp. I expect BackType to start slow and start adding some strong features to the point it becomes as big a part of our Web experience as Technorati, Google Search and Twitter Search. If you have a Web brand, you should follow BackType. If you want to see what your peers are saying around the Web, you should be using BackType. I've been using it for weeks and couldn't wait to post on it."

FriendFeed crawls Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube so you don't have to. - By Paul Boutin - Slate Magazine - http://www.slate.com/id...

"My friends are spread across dozens of different sites—Picasa, Pownce, Plurk, Pandora, Polyvore—and that's just the Ps. Most of them publish to two or three sites at minimum. Figuring out how to navigate each site is more work than I have time for. My fellow tech pundit Robert Scoble posts movies, photos, and text to more than a dozen sites. Can't I just get one page that lists everything Scoble did today? I can!"

This is a good article, overall. For the first time I really am "getting" friendfeed and understand why folks are drawn to a place like Facebook. The updates are so much easier to track here than going places and then if I want to go somewhere else I can. My question as an educator is will this too be blocked by our filter? Or can I show other teachers how this might be a great learning tool for students?

Mainstream cometh?
- EricaJoy
might give this a shot, cheers for sharing.

For this kind of passive consumption of your friends' content, I think SocialThing is the better service. It automatically collects your pals' latest updates without having to recreate each person's individual feeds as an "imaginary friend." SocialThing addresses the hard truth: your friends aren't on FriendFeed.
- mrshl
@mrshl Given my circle of friends, most of them are on friendfeed. YMMV
- EricaJoy
now likely they will run it over and run it, but in keeping hope alive Erica I frankly open that there is an opening up of FF. As a non-tech person it can be a challenge to find discussions NOT RELATED to tech. Part of the reasons i post the things I do from my FF is in hopes of drawing others out to talk about something aside from the fact twitter is down or what I like to call "the meat which shall not be named". speaking of that: it is a BAD example of non-tech talk...LOL.
- R. Ferguson
SocialThing is pretty cool too -- it really speaks to a totally different need. Incidentally, I've never seen a single Polyvore link on here. Does anyone actually use it?
- Nathan Rein
@erica definitely agree. i have a few pals on friendfeed, as well. but most of my friends are relative non-techies who nevertheless use flickr and facebook, or even twitter and del.icio.us. they tend to post about their lives, not social media tools. as much as i dig FF, socialthing lets me keep up with the lion's share of my pals.

FriendFeed + cooliris ( http://cooliris.com/site... )is a pretty nifty combo, altho i wish there was a way to turn cooliris on for friendfeed only.
- Allan Anderson
Good find Louis.
- Mike Reynolds
yea
- accesine
@Allan. Glad to hear you're enjoying Previews. Have you checked out PicLens by Cooliris? We do not currently have the option to turn Previews on for only friendfeed, but it's a great idea. I'll pass it on!

This is what i love Friendfeed my favorite site

Ben is one of the smartest people I know and he's exactly right. We've let online media (blogs, tweets, etc) go from trying to make each other smarter to being about entertainment. Beating other people up, etc. We get the media we deserve, don't we? It's one reason I like FriendFeed so much. So far it's been more about getting smarter and less about showmanship.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert Scoble why do you say FF is more about making people smarter?
- Robert
I've never thought of using the Internet to make myself smarter. It's always been a tool for just finding out what people think. In many ways, FF and other social networking sites just show how lonely people are - and these sites are about finding connections. The "nasty" bloggers and blog posts show that sometimes these connections are not very friendly or nice because we do not always...

Robert: I certainly am learning a ton from people on FF and seeing a ton of new stuff that I wouldn't get anywhere else. Also, the people who are talking here are among the smart set of people. I don't see a lot of stupid comments here, and the few that I have seen earn a quick block.
- Robert Scoble
LPH: You really need to learn to use Wikipedia. Then you'll get smarter about a whole range of topics. I used it to research Congresspeople before my interviews and it's always been really great source of information for me. I couldn't imagine not having that anymore and it's sad that every school kid doesn't have access to that.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Wikipedia is the first thing my students go go for their projects (copy/paste). I'm a fan of Wikipedia only to the point of accepting it as a secondary source - and a starting point. But Wikipedia is only one site and certainly not the Internet. If I want information then I go to the online libraries (UoP, Questia, etc). If I want relaxation then I go to TechMeme, Mixx, and other aggregators. FF is becoming more interesting, though.
