twitter is getting like the price of gas. sooner or later the people are just going to not pay the price. - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ

Definitely following the wrong people. Oil's up, unemployment biggest spike since 1986, foreclosures biggest spike since 1979. - Christopher Penn

they're all related. :) this was a very bad no good day - Jason Kaneshiro

Matt, I'm glad someone mentioned it. The US economy is decaying rapidly and oh nooooo!, twitter's been down for almost an hour...better blog about it! - acedanger

I've posted many links to articles concerning the deterioration of the US Economy but few read, like, or comment on those. Shows where our priorities are. - Morton Fox

Same here Morton..I usually share them via Mento. FriendFeed is heavily tech - Bwana McCall

@Morton I haven't seen anything cross my path. I don't live on friendfeed much any more though so if it dropped off the first page, then I most likely didn't see it. It's good to know that they've been posted though. - acedanger

Bwana, acedanger: We're hanging out in the Economics room: http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ec... - Morton Fox

Thanks for the comments, folks. Now I have some new people and a new room to follow! - Matt

Trent: Arrington doesn't even use Firefox 3.0 (he admitted such tonight). Why do we want him here? - Robert Scoble

Yes!..Mike will come along with time as FriendFeed becomes the place to be. Its called the resistance trap of the first impression - Joao

Robert: yeah, I saw the post about Arrington not using FF3...what the heck does he use, then? FF2 has become unusable...Safari? Not IE...that would shatter my faith in you A-Listers... - Trent Olson

Would be nice to get an RSS feed of these summaries. - Yuval Atzmon

This is really cool feature.... FFmeme ? - Kevin

@Robert I like your response on Arrington's article about the lost database! - Joe Dawson

Kevin, according to Paul and Bret, it's based on your own subscription list, so it's personalized and a bit different than Techmeme. - Mark Trapp

@Kevin - I created a FFmeme "room" on day 1 of the "room" feature as I knew this day would finally come! ha, ha!! http://friendfeed.com/rooms/fr... - Susan Beebe

Arrington is getting technically *slow* !!! Doesn't seem quite as tech savvy as he once was? hmm why? and he's STILL not in FriendFeed actively? c'mon Mike, the water is fine! Hey do you remember the Borg on StarTrek? "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated." ;-) - Susan Beebe

I love how the top 4 "best" stories on my Friendfeed are about this new FriendFeed feature. Echo chamber. - Erick Schonfeld

Erick -- I noticed the same thing :-) - mathew ingram

Dont necessarily believe the stuff about Michael. He would have said that to upset the Mozilla people. He recommended it to me, I've seen him using it, and he's even written publicly that he uses it...indeed it was FF3 that made him switch from Flock. - Duncan Riley

@Duncan - ok that makes way more sense... I always had the *perception* that Arrington was an early adopter, so hearing he was on FF 2 didn't make sense. Thx! - Susan Beebe

See "Search for best 100 articles from the last day (or 2 days, 3 days...)" http://friendfeed.com/e/b4029e... using "num=100". I'm finding the 100-item search much more interesting than the regular 30-item search. - Mitchell Tsai

Arrington is drinking the same koolaid as Scoble now, it's in the air, it's in the water, it's everywhere - Bob Ngu

Watch out. - Jason Kaneshiro

I do not want Arrington on FF. He is a Flaming Troll. - Igor The Troll

Great product positioning! The addiction of having to read FF would only get worse. - Winston Teo

Igor The Troll : hide him... oh wait, you can't - directeur

How can we hide Michael the Troll if we Trolling him? LOL - Igor The Troll

I see a motion picture in the making! "The Revenge of the Trolls" Starting Michael Arrington playing himself as a Flamming Troll. Will definitively win an Oscar! Ok, here is the plot. All the people who read his blog for years turn into Trolls and eat Michael Alive. LOL - Igor The Troll

I'm using Safari. and I love it. Where is the "Blame Arrington" script. Why does Scoble get all the love? I say we go medevil on all the Alist. Equal opportunity sodomy for all social pests. Twitter Killers. feed them to the dogs. - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ

"Interestingness Filter"... Even if you put a total crap online Arrington their algorithm will still think that it's interesting. I know you won't even read what I'm writing (too "shy" to share with individuals of your kind?) but the fact is it doesn't filter on Interestingness, it does on popularity and this is VERY different. Hear me? Very different :) - directeur

This is one of the reasons why I'm on FriendFeed - Thomas Ho via fftogo

Only because people make them so. How many Vampire apps do we really need, if any? - Tim Finucane
