so folks on ff would rather talk about bacon instead of sex? geeks. :-) - Rob Williams
mmm bacon - (jeff)isageek
it's bacooooonn! - Sarah Perez
Great examples! - Paul Buchheit
I agree with Paul very interesting snapshot of the FF community while showcasing the power of the new search app. - Keith - @tsudo
I especially liked that you did links to originals. Makes it easy to share as explained - MaryAnn Chick Whiteside
Thanks mcw, tsudohnimh and Paul. I didn't pretty up the post with screen captures. I felt the original links themselves could tell the story. - Louis Gray
'So yes, FriendFeed loves Scoble, tolerates me, and loves babies' - Classic :) - Charlie Anzman
This is so funny - the very time I ever commented on an LG item was on July 9th, 2008! - Mona Nomura
Just so you know, that conversation in Italian was NOT about a cat. It was a mother's story about the abusive treatment her 4 yr old autistic child received from a professional photographer. - April Russo (app103)
Liked for multiple mentions of Akiva's baby. :P - Rochelle

its called Ping.Fm! http://ping.fm/dashboard/ - TheHenry
It's totally different to Ping.fm. It's not another multiple-service updater. It allow you to follow many social services from a desktop app. - Leandro Ardissone ⍨
ping.fm has a desktop app if you have an Im client - TheHenry
an im client is a desktop app.. ping.im offers a bot to use with your IM :) - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM

Anyone interested in FriendFeed support in this app? http://is.gd/aBpG - Devon Campbell
Well a ping.fm for mac's - Victor
This app is really quite nice - Jason Wehmhoener
bump due to duplicate - Zee.
So people pay for beta apps now? WTF? - Voyagerfan5761 from fftogo
@Voyagerfan5761 It's an investment. The assumption is that the app will someday come out of beta. Then you will have a copy for less than people who paid after the beta. It's not much different than buying a stock hoping it will go up. - Devon Campbell
bump due to duplicate - Zee.
I really like this app, over two months later I still use it daily. - Jason Wehmhoener

For the inbox background color, if a light color is chosen it seems to get mixed with gray (e.g.–choosing white gives #e6e6e6). EDIT: It only lets you choose bgcolor for unread emails; wish we could also choose the color for read emails... - Dan Hsiao

The sandwich looked fresh and tasty, and although I've had a fill of DELICIOUS country BBQ at Sweatman''s for lunch, I am getting hungry again now. I jsut remembered, there is home-made bread in the kitchen NOM NOM. - Ian May

The Newspaper Reporter of the Future is Here Today - http://www.micropersuasion.com/2009...
I think everyone knows (or thinks) this is the future -- but the fundamental question is how does Peter Abraham (and those like him) make enough money to pay him to live, pay for his iphone, pay for his blog hosting, pay for his plane tickets to Florida and pay for his accommodation while there? - Brian Sullivan
Agreed. That's the real issue. Would Abraham's blog pay for the access needed to make his insights so valuable? Will teams like the Yankees start footing the bill for beat writers to cover the team, which obviously helps market the team? Naturally, that raises a host of other issues. - Peeta
And if newspapers are going to be any kind of organization beyond the reporter you have to pay for his boss, his bosses boss, the building he works in and the infrastructure to support it. If this is true -- then the future is just the past with an an iphone and a blog. - Brian Sullivan
Blogging, micropublishing. All of this is just the writing down and cataloguing of the thoughts and conversations people have been having since the beginning of time. And notification, transmission is instant. The major change I foresee is the migration towards so-called A-listers or Content Editors. - Andrew Ruess from IM
steve, good one...and you are right big opportunities and more and more reporters doing exactly this. I heard that 95% of the top 100 US newspapers have reporters blogging or doing video and Facebook etc...so you can see the trend is on its way - Richard Binhammer
@Richard, exactly. This is covered in my trends paper. See trend #2 - Media Reforestation. - Steve Rubel
Doesn't the newspaper's legacy and brand give him a boost? - Steve Rubel
Jason -- the answer is that there can't be 100 Yankee sports writers - nor can there be 1000++ photographers and reporters sent to the Olympics but even if you cut it down by one or two orders of magnitude and eliminate all other layers of management and infrastructure and cost there probably still is not enough money to made on the web to support this style of reporting(unless you imagine or invent a vastly different structure for flow of money than exists today). - Brian Sullivan
Steve -- how long will the brands of newspapers have any value? If they go belly up I think not very long. - Brian Sullivan
There's no way with today's level of audience that a blogger could make the same amount of money, but if we're assuming that trad. media is going away, won't the readership of blogs go up? Maybe it could work. - Mr. Gunn
I think I have to agree with Charles Arthur's comment on the thread: "where's the money coming from?" - Ian Betteridge

Edwin, the popup on the Feedly minibar while viewing Scoble's blog showed an entry from March 18th. - Hao Chen
Hao. Yes. I just noticed that. We are going to change the filtering logic to try to promote live conversations over older ones. We are going to let the launch storm pass by and try to push an update out on Sunday/Monday will all the problems which popup between now and then. If you have any other suggestion please let us know - Edwin Khodabakchian

U.S. Plans to Curb Executive Pay for Bailout Recipients - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
U.S. Plans to Curb Executive Pay for Bailout Recipients - NYTimes.com
"WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is expected to impose a cap of $500,000 for top executives at companies that receive large amounts of bailout money, according to people familiar with the plan. Executives would also be prohibited from receiving any bonuses above their base pay, except for normal stock dividends. President Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner plan to announce the executive compensation plan on Wednesday morning at the White House. The new rules would be far tougher than any restrictions imposed during the Bush administration, and they could force executives to accept deep reductions in their current pay. They come amid rising public fury about huge pay packages for executives at financial companies being propped up by federal tax dollars." - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet
I'm not sure I will be happy with anything short of immediate termination with no severance. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Good to know comrade Obama is already using the governments support/enabling of private corporations as an excuse to dictate their policy from the top down. - John
now if only we could get them to reduce the pay of executives of companies like mine who are laying off 10% and getting bonuses for saving money! - planetMitch
Not too smart. Government money in the banks, but then is cheap to hire the best workers. This is why government owning banks is a bad move. We need capitalism to rebuild America not communism. - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
as if; the elite always find a way to earn super profits at the expense of the masses, they may as well legislate it - Bob Sonin
How about another mandate that senators and representatives cannot earn more than the average salary in their home state/district? Seems fair. - Dave Roth
Dave, I like that idea. If Congress wanted the Ford CEO to take $1/yr comp to share the pain, so should our reps. Maybe our elected reps should live in DC public housing while there also. - Greg Guitarbuster

Are We Following The Wrong People? - http://regulargeek.com/2009...
Nice one Rob. I have taken on a slightly different approach after my initial joining of such networks. I now never follow celebrities. I only follow them after they follow me. Sounds arrogant, but there is a simple reason for it. I found this to be the best way of deciding if they would be interested in interaction or not. In general, there is more to be gained from interaction with... more... - Alexander van Elsas
Yes, you all should follow me. :P But seriously, great post, Rob. I especially liked this nugget: "If everyone is following the same people, then everyone will be getting the same information. As the number of subscribers grows, the value of that information will likely decrease." - Meryn Stol
Meryn, are you following Rob too?? We're in trouble now! We need to start following different people - Alexander van Elsas
Rob, I subscribed because you pose interesting questions. People who question their behavior are in general interesting to me. - Meryn Stol
I was lucky in that I didn't know about celebrities, so I did just what Alexander did, and followed people who left comments I found interesting on a regular basis, either because they followed me or because they appeared in my feed, or even within search results. - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Alex, well, people who are asking questions *now* will be wiser in the future. Also, you never know what kind of interesting persons answer their questions. - Meryn Stol
Alexander, for me it depends on the "celebrity". I will always follow information addicts like Robert Scoble and Louis Gray. Others I tend to follow depending on what they share. Finding the right balance of people is definitely difficult. - Rob Diana
Meryn, thanks for the praise. After playing in social media for a while, I think everyone starts to question what they are doing. I happen to have a blog, so I write the questions down and hope that people read it :) - Rob Diana
meryn, people asking questions are infinitely more interesting than people providing answers. I can't say I know many high profile users out there that have this trait. - Alexander van Elsas
Rob, I guess who you follow highly depends on your needs as well as the medium used. I don't follow a lot of these people using RSS for example, because my needs lie somewhere else (RSS is slow consumption for me). But I do occasionally see their tweets pass by, which is fine. - Alexander van Elsas
I guess it depends on your goal when following people. To find a good balance between relevance, noise & ROT (return on time) is for me the most important. Sometimes the most noisy are also the most relevant :o) Still, there is so much happening around, that it becomes difficult to find people to follow which are not already connected to a celebrity. - Zack Brandit
It's striking a balance between developing audience (reach) and maintaining exclusivity for that informational competetive edge. Like any asset you choose to either share it or keep it for yourself..... - rich schineller
Zack, I fully agree with finding your own balance. I have avoided "noise" as a contributing factor specifically because those people could be relevant. - Rob Diana
