Going to conduct an experiment: sign up a separate FF account and behave like a 'user' rather than a geek to see what I can get out of it when outside of the echo chamber.

Its going to be hard to change your mindset.
- David Risley
will your user profile subscribe to your geek profile? Would one bleed through into the other? This is really interesting stuff, let us know how it all goes!
- Iain Baker
David - I agree but I think it's something worth trying to gain some perspective and a different point of view

But what will you read then?
- Cyndy
@Cyndy - that's my question too. Colin - to whom will you subscribe?
- Hutch Carpenter
The two accounts will be completely separate and the new one will focus on non-tech stuff. I'll find to subscribe to via searches - not really worked it all out yet ;)

Colin, I do understand. My initial reaction to FriendFeed wasn't exactly positive. Then it grew on me. Still noisy, but I learned to dig it.
- David Risley
pseudo handles have always been around- depends what type of online personality you want that pseudo handle to take on.
- Peter Dawson
possibly, to tackle David's point about changing your mindset, you could ask a non-tech friend to sign up to FriendFeed and report back to you on their experience. Sounds like a interesting experiment at any rate, Colin.

So THAT's why I got a signup from "NotColin_ForRealz".

Scary - what if we find out there's life out there?
- Aviv
@Louis, hehehe - not done it yet and nothing personal but I won't be subscribing to any of the usual suspects ;)
- Colin Walker
@David, my initial reaction soon after launch was similar but I attribute that to not having many 'friends' on it at the time so it didn't really click. Once I subscribed to more people the value became apparent. As for getting someone else to do it, I don't think the experience will translate as well as I would hope. We'll see what happens.
