hmm, Pownce (notes/files/links), Digg (stories), Twitter (short updates), FriendFeed (aggregated comments), do I still need a blog?

Sort of wondered about that on my blog too.

Twitter's already kind of like the short attention span version of a blog

FF is a big, huge, group blog

Thanks kevin: I just wanted to hear that from someone else as well. I am happy that it come from you. I have been thinking about the same in last few days. I want to set up a blog for our site and I thought why not do it for example here on Friendfeed and use the other tools you mentioned above to support it.
- Joao
I still can't feel comfortably with Pownce. I preffer Tumblr for easily and freedom.
- Leandro Ardissone ⍨
I use the blog to talk about the stuff that I find on the sites.
- Bradley McSpinn
i was commenting something similiar the other day - isn't facebook for people that can't type more than one sentence in their own blog? Does it make you seem more interesting than you really are?
- Jason Hoch
Joao: yea, have been thinking the same thing - I might start forwarding kevinrose.com to friendfeed. Just wish I could customize the layout.
- Kevin Rose
A blog is still good for long-form thoughts as opposed to the quick bursts that you'd put out on Twitter or FF.
- Alex
Posterous works for longer things.
- Jason Wehmhoener
Without blogs, what would we submit to Digg?
- Josh Kenzer
You bring up a good point... Soon, design will not matter much.. Content is King.
- Robert
I think a blog still has its place, but it is used much less frequently. Like Alex said it is really just for long (multi paragraph or even page) thoughts and personal opinions that you can't find on say Digg. Even still, using FF in conjunction with a blog improves it even more :D.
- Shaun Bevill
Think about how many "flash" websites you used to see and how many you see now....
- Robert
Has anyone set up a FriendFeed room as a personal blog yet? I can't think of any reason why that wouldn't work.
- Mike Doeff
well for you no. For people who don't own Pownce, Digg, etc and want to make $ from the internet by creating content and selling ads around those content. Still need a blog or site.
- Greg Wilker
from twhirl
good point Greg - no way to place ads on these sites.
- Kevin Rose
@Greg Wilker good point... I am sure there is another way, but not sure what that way is...
- Robert
I'll post wherever I get the most interaction... for me that happens to be FriendFeed.
- Brandon
its a good point / question. what ecosystem works? I still think having a blog as a personal home base - an airport if you will - is a good idea. touch down on all the other sites - engage - and for further content: blog
- j sven
well, it's not really needed. But being a writer, it helps me to be in the writing habit and maintaining discipline...
- Fajar Jasmin
Yes, but the form will change. A successful blog will have API access to all of the above and be able to sort/arrange your online footprint in a meaningful way that is easy for users to scan through. It would also allow you to make traditional blog posts that work in reverse order. Friendfeed is close to this, but it is too disjointed and not customizable.
- Cade Brown
Dang, seems you struck a chord. Conversation's exploding here and on Twitter. I am glad you bring this up, as you have the ability to get this question answered quite effectively. I WANT to have a blog, but these other services are treating me quite well. The issue comes in remembering where all this stuff you've saved/said is located and the audience that receives it is more and more niche...enter FF? I guess.
- Victor Vasquez
One other thing is I'm all about less is more. Do you really want to say "hey go friend me up on twitter.com/insertname friendfeed.com/insertname digg.com/user/insertname etc etc or would you rather just say insertname.com to people with links to those other sites on it. you can insert my name into those if you want to friend me up. =D
- Greg Wilker
from twhirl
you forgot your tumblr zen-style blog....
- Dan van Moll
Agreed, blogs should be long form thoughts. Stop posting one sentence updates to your blog.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
I'm still keeping mine! A blog to me is different than what Pownce, Twitter and FF offer. They are more "communities" where there is far more interaction than in a blog. Receiving and responding to comments out on a blog is very different than the instantaneous interaction I get while using the likes of Twitter and FF.
- Geoff Peterson
Depends on if you want to write. I like the idea of a personally branded dedicated space...
- Ryan
I still think a blog is important. Its just more personal than forwarding your site to FF. Ya, FF is personal, but its something that you don't own, and can't customize the way you want.
- Nick Humphries
a blog is the only place where you own both the content AND the style.
- Brian Ries
But FriendFeed might be able to monetize the comments, especially if there's a thread/pattern among participants.
- phil baumann
All that stuff is wonderful if you suffer from ADD.... but for thoughts, arguments, commentary, etc that's longer, fuller, better developed and hopefully more "permanent" than one off comments, you still need some kind of site or blog. Contrary to popular belief around here, sometimes you need more than 140 characters to say something worthwhile.
- Eric P
Hell yeah, for SEO! :)
- Melle Gloerich
I'm still having issuse with the FF comment plugin for wordpress =( I really like FF so far just wish my coding skills were up to part to figure this out. send me an email if you know how to get it to work gregwilker.net@gmail.com
- Greg Wilker
from twhirl
Since you don't post long entries, probably not. FriendFeed catches my Diggs, tweets, and Pownces, I just pipe all of that to my blog: http://www.screwtheman.com
- Paul Reynolds
And Vimeo (HD videos), QIK (mobile live streaming)
- Langley Zhu
... Demonoid (torrents), Last.fm (music), Adium (IM).. that's about all ya need.
- shaggyshaw
Nope!
- justine
You use Pownce?
- Andy DeSoto
One of the most interesting things is that there is, so far, no content spam here in the discussions. On my Wordpress blog (lightly used) I had to turn off all comments because of horrible drug spam. While the filters usually caught it, nonetheless, it ended up on my server, and added to traffic. My site (not the blog :-) ) has 65,000+ visitors per month and doesn't need junk added into the blog space. While Kevin may not need a blog now, his material is readily and happily accessed and organized, some may.

Anyone think it's funny that Eliasson wants to bring attention to NYC's rivers and away from the buildings and bridges, so he put the waterfall UNDER a bridge where you can't see it from the buildings? How about turning the Statue of Liberty into a water fountain?

just grabbed some video of the waterfall under the Brooklyn Bridge: http://qik.com/video/114658

its nice and all but $15m for what is a temporary structure? I'm sure the money could have been put to better use.
- Jamie
Jamie: it's going to bring in like $50m in tourism dollars! you can make these kinds of bets all day long with public art projects because it draws folks into the city.
- Jason Calacanis
Anytime there's this kind of art display, there are arguments about how the $x million should be used for something else. The Gates in Central Park 3 years ago triggered the same responses.
- Jennie Lin
lol where are those figures from? are they charging to view it? because nobody is going to travel to NYC just to see these things. I mean... they're aight but thats about it. I think they throw these figures up to make the pill easier to swallow.
- Jamie
I know we will go see the waterfalls when we are in NY this summer.

Nice teaser. The show looks like something I'd really enjoy. What's the best way to keep tabs on when the first videos start coming out. Subscribing to the feed on that video page?

- Joel Gray
It works in Firefox 3.0 RC1 here. Not sure why it's not working for you. Do you have the latest Flash plugin?
- Robert Scoble
@Joel Gray - We haven't tested with FF3rc1/rc2 yet, but I'll see if we can give it a shake today. Can't imagine why it wouldn't work. Mac or Windows?

Hopefully already obvious, but click the "Share" button to get an embeddable player.

Don, where is the "share" button. I can't find it anywhere on the page and want to embed the video on my blog?
- Thomas Hawk
@DonMacAskill Windows Vista SP1. Haven't had any problems with YouTube or other videos that use the player. Just sits there saying "Buffereing" connection seems good to everything else.

Really looking forwared to this!.

@Thomas Hawk - Looks like Scoble has some interesting customization, blowing away our normal buttons. Go here http://scobleizer.smugmug.com/gallery... and click 'share photo'. Use the 'Get a link' tab.

@Joel Gray - Can you tell me which version of Flash this page says you have? http://kb.adobe.com/selfser...

@DonMacAskill WIN 9,0,115,0 OS Windows Vista - Video Cap: Yes - Audio Cap: Yes - Local File I/O: Yes
- Joel Gray
Awesome, can't wait for it. Where will we be able to view this show?
- Cade Brown
it will be on http;//www.fastcompany.tv
- Robert Scoble
@Joel Gray - There are some bugs in 9,0,115 that are fixed in 9,0,124, so you could try updating. I'm installing FF3rc2 on my Vista SP1 VM right now, so we'll see how that goes.
- Don MacAskill
@Joel Gray - Hmm, fresh FF3rc2 install on my Vista SP1 machine w/Flash 9,0,115 and it plays fine for me. Dang. I'm stumped. I'll keep looking, though.

this comment will show both on friendfeed and on twitter - unless you see it frist on twitter, in which case it will also be on friendfeed

I comment here because I don't get abused for answering Tweets here.
- Robert Scoble
I also comment here because the answers are threaded. I also comment here because I can permalink to a cluster of comments about a single Tweet. I also comment here because people can "hide" this conversation if they don't like it.

- Mohsein Sani

- Jim Vrckovski
FriendFeed works, Twitter is down all the time. Twitter is a platform, FriendFeed utilizes this platform - for me, in the most useful way I've seen so far. (It's web-based, it allows conversations.)
- sebmos
I don't put most things on both FriendFeed and Twitter. Why? I keep getting told I'm too noisy on Twitter so I'm using FriendFeed to reduce my noise. In fact, I've just told everyone to come over here instead of continuing this conversation on Twitter. Conversations aren't really good on Twitter. What is? Answering the question "what are you doing?"
- Robert Scoble
Agreed with Robert. I really like the parallel nature of the Twitter / Friendfeed symbiosis.
- Soulhuntre
This definitely looks like it's going to get viral!
- Vinodh Nandakumar
Twitter need to make some sort of threaded comments system.
- Richard Cunningham
I've thought of a better way to handle replies. Msaleem's original message is number 812534216, so to reply to reply @msaleem:812534216 which would map onto http://twitter.com/msaleem... which should also be backwards compatible. Then clients could track the replies in a thread
- Richard Cunningham
@ Richard Cunningham My first impulsive thought is : Threads would destroy twitter
- Kamath (नमः)
ah, but we can do both! :-)
- Duncan Riley
because it is another conversation thread that is easier to follow than on twitter and connect to other like minded people.
- Rodney Rumford
I would use this more if Twhirl would just give me a sound stating someone replied to me. Also, threads are only one level on FF. Twhirl could technically do the same thing with Twitter - why not?
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
Jaiku already has multi-level threaded comments. It's Google's fault that people aren't using it.
- Morton Fox
Also, Quotably allows you to thread your replies to any tweet you want.

You brought this on yourself, you know....

Twitter is not intended to keep conversations. Let's try to keep what it was born to and then, if the tweet is interesting enough let's move the rest to FF.
- Hernan Garcia
I think the biggest poblem is when people are adding comments that add nothing to the situation at all. Or when they are just rambling on and on about the same subject or make REALLY long sentences that clearly show that English is not their main language and that get lost in constructions that are hard to understand and you can clearly see that the commenter did not even take the time to read his own comment to see that it lacks proper structure and grammar. But it's like it's with cliffhangers, they are
- Ruud van Wijngaarden
So sick of ppl telling me where to leave my comments. I'm sorry, but I'll comment anywhere I damn well please. Period. Get over it.
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
I agree with Shey. Recently, a friend of mine deleted his FriendFeed account specifically to stop me from replying to his stuff from here.
- Akiva Moskovitz
See the 'choice' as a plus. It just takes a few seconds to come over here and look?
- Charlie Anzman
Because we can't comment on them within twitter. I like the whole idea of comments. I wish I would recieve more comments on my friendfeed!
- Cade Brown
When someone comments on Friendfeed (in lieu of Twitter), it should be a form of a compliment, showing that you have a higher level of exposure.

@reefinyateef They're marked as PDT in Google calendar, so I think your calendar should convert them, if it supports time zones anyway.

"So, what's the big deal? Would the story be any different if he was on a laptop, his cell phone, blackberry, any portable device with wireless capabilities? The story is trying to flaunt the well known capabilities of the PSP. It is 2006 after all, these capabilities should be the norm, not anything special. Therefore I find the (most likely fictitious) story unremarkable."

Top 100 Digg Users Control 56% of Digg's HomePage Content - http://digg.com/tech_ne...
"When I plug digg to friends I always comment on how the digg rating reflects the people who use digg, not necessarily what is popular in world news. If what is on the front page doesn't interest you, then digg is not for you, simple as that. I must say though, this is an awkward time for this conversation, considering digg 3.0 just came out, with the whole purpose of expanding content and therefore increasing the number of users with different interests. All I'm saying is that digg is growing, don't bury it because a "few" 100 people control half of the submissions. How many news sources are there on a typical night on television? Are their stories as interesting as these? Can you control which subjects you watch? Regardless of submitter, it works for those who digg it."
