PREDICTION: The problem FriendFeed will have is when it will be very popular (mainstream if you want), there will be so much content that you won't be able to see eevrything. A page refresh and tons of content is published. We will for sure miss tons of good stuff.

a page shows say, 30 entries, between two refreshes, say there's 2000 new entries by friends and friends of friends... you see what I mean?

We need some way to lens ACROSS content, to view things based on value / ranking / medium, etc. Already there's more content in even my shallow feed than I can comfortably follow, and few of my friends even use FF.

One word: BLOCK ;)
- Mona Nomura
I expect we'll see more than you realize. Likes and Comments keep stuff bouncing to the top until you get a chance to see it.
- Hutch Carpenter
I'm liking and commenting just to bounce ya twice. ;)
- Internet's Tad
Best guess is that hyper growth is already being foreseen with numerous solutions. These guys are good!
- Charlie Anzman
only if you subscribe to everybody under the sun. I'm sure scoble aleady has that problem here and on twitter
- Brett Kelly
Block and Hide aren't nearly good enough for the things I want to do when updates hit several tens per second. I, really, want things like Boolean filters of near arbitrary complexity, feedback learning, and flexible presentation ranking, just to stay sane.
- Alexander Williams
from NoiseRiver
I'm telling you guys - Lindsay totally pegged it. FF is the site that just DEMANDS an Intelligent Agent to sift through the volcanic soil to expose the rough diamonds. If the FF devs have half a brain, they have a genius or two slaving away on that right now.
- Internet's Tad
I agree, lots of stuff falls through the cracks through out the day. I think the 'best of' was added for this reason. I haven't really used it that much though.
- Tsega Dinka
but all the good stuff is reshared... personally my eyes are trained to scan content quickly and efficiently. it weeds out what i'm interested in and not. if all else fails, there's always the "BLOCK" or "HIDE" options...
- Mona Nomura
Resharing is data-cluttering, as I see it. I want a system that unifies references to URLs, for one. It tells me where that reference is made from (Rooms, friends, likes, whatnot), but only gives me a single thing to look out for any given referent. The actual rest of info is just useful metadata for building lenses out of.
- Alexander Williams
from NoiseRiver
You ask the wrong question with your prediction my multi-lingual friend -- the question is not whether we will see too much, but whether we will see enough? FriendFeed (with or without NoiseRiver) is an extremely good model for seeing "enough". NoiseRiver will allow the "noise lovers" to see even more :-)
- Robert Seidman
As more people join, simply being good at managing who you follow will be more important and should keep the noise down.
- Martin Bryant
Surely people like Robert Scoble are already at that level, he manages fine!
- Joe Dawson

- Mitchell Tsai
Joe's right. Bring it on!

Especially if one uses small screens and apps like twhirl to view the feed...

We'll just need a CloseFriendFinder app to sit on top of FriendFinder
- Craig Thomler
I don't see the problem if there is the right method to represent the contnet, in a away that the fruition of it by the user would be easier...
- Edoardo Piccolotto
from twhirl
Yes. There is the potential for much more clutter here than twitter, for example. FF needs enhanced filtering tools.
- Ian Fogg
It's already happening for me. Need tags. Plus likes and comments only go so far. What if I like stuff only a few others like? How do I find that?
- Larry Huffman
if more of my friends were on FF I wouldn't be subscribed to so many people I don't know
- Samuel Bostock
the average user isn't going to be subscribed to that many people. and the mainstream will be much less "active" in terms of generating content than the hardcore early adopters. In short, I don't buy the argument.
- Jamie
The average user doesn't use the majority of features present on mobile phones. In Portugal owning a expensive phone is a status statement, but most of them could use the cheapest mobile in term of features used. With software and web services it's the same, people use just a subset of the features, and they have to be in front of them. Power users and all it's likes and dislikes are useful to test the limits of a application, but besides that are not the voice of God.
- Mário Pires
This is where the top posts of the day/week/month will come into play. I sure that someone will comment or like a post before it flits away. It does bear consideration though, put some brakes on the speed of posting perhaps?
- Mathew A. Koeneker
from fftogo
Maybe a combo of FriendFeed and Digg? people could set to only receive posts with X number of likes/comments...or based on the rep of the person posting...
- Craig Thomler
If i could create "groups" of people by subjects relevant to me perhaps it would be more manageable.
- Mário Pires
so there will be meta services (think summize). Cool. no problemo.
- john conroy
Just look at the Everyone feed. Only imagine articles with 1,000 likes (ala Digg) and 500 comments (ala slashdot). Some people may want the raw feeds, we'll need new filters/views/trails/signposts/guides/topics etc...
- Mitchell Tsai
@Mario Agree. GM script for Friends / Groups http://ffapps.com/filters/
- Hao Chen
I think we'll just end up hiding a lot more stuff
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
I have the feeling that the FF staff will roll with the punches. Scalability!
- Steve Isaacs
@Robert Scoble: you WON'T be able to manage that noise. It's simply a mathematical fact. Say, you see 30 post, and between two refreshes, 20.000 entries are posted. The next page will show the last 30 of these 20.000 new entries. You will miss the entries in between. Liking or commenting from FOAF won't help. Because the flow will run... fast.
- directeur

Prescient in Twitter's case. For awhile it was so for FF too. I don't know about now however; things are slower.

- Fulaan, inna Hebel
Hi, mohomed! That's so old, how did you find it? :)
- directeur
I was looking for a post with an mp3 attached to it from awhile ago that I needed, but couldn't find it. It's some soft of new jazz from Turkey. A bald guy with blue was attached as an image holding some sort of instrument. But I stumbled across a bunch of good other old posts.
- Fulaan, inna Hebel
Could it be Mercan Dede?

You continue to amaze me monsieur http://friendfeed.com/directe... Thanks so much!

Test post for audio enclosures through the FriendFeed API, the audio of the opening scene from The Godfather. The undertaker Bonasera, asks the Godfather for justice. Contains the famous line: "Someday, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me."

"ianbetteridge: that might be true, but there's plenty of stuff I stick with and don't find horrible jagged edges which cause me deep pain to where I want out. Facebook, for instance, has some really severe problems that keep it from being a business utility (more news will break on yet another guy who got kicked off that service for behaving normally). Twitter? I love the idea of Twitter, but it's 1/3 down right now (the most important part, for me, which is the IM client). FriendFeed? I've put a lot of stuff into there in the past two months and it's always been fast and responsive. Twitter had problems far earlier in its lifespan in terms of reliability than FriendFeed has had yet. Now, will something better come along than FriendFeed? Probably. That's part of this life. I remember back in the 1980s everyone was on BBS's. No one even remembers what those are now. Then we moved to Prodigy. That's gone today. Then we moved to AOL. Most early adopters aren't on that. Then we moved to..."
- Robert Scoble
Scoble: At least two of us remember BBS's. FF rooms reminded me of those days.
- Russellreno
People make fun of Scoble and twitter. Don't want the conversation? Don't follow Scoble.
- Andrew Ruess
if we were to look back would we see a conversion titled "prodigy is way better than usenet"? Or maybe AOL and IRC can get along?
- Doug Brooks
Twitter concept is cool, service is a disaster. Totally frustrating as a user. could never recommend to anyone at this point. I think it's really about actions speaking louder than words
- Michael Gartenberg
I'm sorry Scoble, but you don't look old enough to remember using Prodigy, not to mention BBSes. Or is that freshly-scrubbed face entirely a product of unbridled enthusiasm? If not, please inform me where you found the Fountain. All these years I've always thought it was beer and broadband that kept me looking young.
- Rick Powell
@Rick - I know Robert's around my age, and I used BBSes and Prodigy... heck, I've had a functional email address (at least one) since 1982. Yes, times change and we all move on - but I'm still hoping Twitter pulls it out. I like Twitter, I don't *want* to drag everyone over to the next place yet. But I will admit that I've been spending more & more time on FF... and the number one reason for that is that Twitter keeps borking.
- Lucretia Pruitt
Eh? I'm 29 and I used BBSes when I was a kid.

Wow. The term "early adopter" seems like an understatement used for the folks on FriendFeed. That's a graduate thesis in itself.

FF reminds me of the fun I had on UseNet newsgroups 1982-1999 (never much of a BBS fan). Slashdot was ok, but I never got drawn in by the commenting because there seemed to be so much 'crap'...and from all these people I didn't know. BBSs, Prodigy, CompuServe, AOL, Yahoo - all seemed pretty boring to me. FlyerTalk was the first post-UseNet internet community which attracted me (2002). Then Facebook (July 2007).
- Mitchell Tsai
Yikes, I guess I am an early adopter. BBS's that made me chuckle.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
I remember BBSs when I was in high school 1977-82 (Began 1972 or 1978 according to Wikipedia), and peaked in popularity 1996 according to Wikipedia (which isn't always accurate) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... Not that long ago...
- Mitchell Tsai
Well, using today's killmeme you'd have to phrase it as, "Prodigy is going to kill BBSes" or "UUCP bang paths need to die," etc. But yeah shelf life tends to be very short. (Though I hear ProComm Plus is still being sold somewhere.)
