Is that really jumping the shark, or just leveling out?

@KG time will tell. Twitter's rise continues http://tinyurl.com/5hdqyx
- Steve Rubel
You know better than I do Steven, but I believe those who have not fully adopted online communications like those of us here regularly, abandon social media, (and perhaps a lot of internet uses), for more tactile time spend during downturns. I've witnessed folks behaviors changed en mass, directed by circumstances. Could be enough to explain most of that, because I think generally, their more tuned product is accelerating in usefulness.

Whoa! what happened?
- Susan Beebe
Unique visitors is an interesting statistic but it's clear that the real value to FF will be engagement. Returning visitors, visits per day, dwell time etc. will show the real power of FF.
- AJ Kohn
So what are you doing to help turn this momentum around (goes for all of you above)?
- Louis Gray
I think that the craziness of the economy has had an effect... people are spending more time off-line (I know I have) and less likely to be looking for new things. I think it will turn around after a while.
- Lindsay
I use FF in my email sig, tell friends, drop it in my blog from time to time.
- AJ Kohn
Louis: my thesis. People aren't getting enough value out of this and are seeing it as a time drain. Also, I'm seeing people staying away from online sites that cover politics and economic news in order to stay away from mental pain. Those things get better in November. It'll be interesting to see if the line goes back up then. But we need new features to cure the first thing. I think they are on the way.
- Robert Scoble
I thinking the same thing as Robert. I also think that many avid users have found that this can be an incredible time sink, and have had to back off a little.
- Jeff P. Henderson
could also be attributed to employees spending more time on their tasks and less time browsing FF.
- Tsega Dinka
but I also pedict that with winter around the corner and more people spending longer hours indoors, the traffic will be going back up.

Friendfeed jumped for me when it became a chat room for popular bloggers and their stalkerish followers. Give me twitter with Twitscoop any day.
- Wayne Schulz
Maybe FF would like to give its fans incentives to help them be successful. I keep hoping some company has the guts to try to include their users in the prosperity we create, together. It's a good time for out of the box thinking, no?
- Dave Winer
heck, if friendfeed would consider sharing revenues from ads in the rooms - that would really be something!
- Zee.
Could you layer the stock market graph over the same timeframe? Would there be a similarity in the graphs?
- Hutch Carpenter
@Wayne..haha and twitter isn't a chat room for popular bloggers & stalkerish followers...? lol...
- Zee.
Does the drop correlate with the release of the list feature?
- Todd Hoff
todd - there's an interesting question.
- Hutch Carpenter
If it really is a drop (it's not a drop in traffic btw, just the number of times it's been mentioned on the web, a measure of buzz if anything) it probably correlates to Twitter becoming reliable again and luring back its users, which was a slow process of rebuilding trust. There's absolutely no doubt, looking at the graph, that FF benefited when Twitter was going down all the time.
- Dave Winer
This is a bad trend for FF, period

Go Ron! He's been talking about this for years. The market will correct this. Government should just be there with money to help protect the people that are going to get hurt.
- ·[▪_▪]·
I find it interesting when people like to isolate systems and stand them up independently. Saying that free markets, when left "alone", do not influence, modify, meddle with government is an idealistic fantasy. Even though I'm a "free market guy" I'm leery of anyone who ideologically espouses "pure free markets" or "unfettered free markets" because they lose sight of the fact that they do not exist in a vacuum. Markets and Govt's are fundamentally connected and influence each other in myriad ways.
- mikepk
free markets are transparent. the current interbanking shadow financial system is NOT transparent
- ray
ray, we deal with the messy reality of markets. Perfect free markets assume perfect transparency AND perfect information on the part of all participants. Neither reflects reality. It's analogous to the old Churchill quote, it's a terrible system, except when compared to all the others.

thks for the aide memoir :) add immoral and irrational to messy too. my real point was - it is an ideal (this may sound strange) but ideals are essential for design and serve as a tool for razor sharp strategy. my experience is limited to cds markets, but if this particular market had a clearing house (which is difficult practically - but not impossible - an ideal) - a lot of the problems regarding this particular market may not have not have happened
- ray
Market fundamentalists are as vicious as religious fundamentalists. That said, the market needs to resolve this issues. The government will just make things worse by stepping in with a massive bailout.

Ron Paul is one of the few who sees the big picture and follows the money all the way back to the root cause. Unfortunately not enough people listened to him when he predicted all this years ago, but maybe more will now.
- Alan Cheslow
Shame he's generally completely insane, isn't it?
- Alexander Carlill
Ron Paul is hardly insane. Libertarian views, in my opinion, just won't work. It's an ideal but will fail practically. The only chance people will listen to Paul about this is if we don't get a bailout. If the bailout eventually happens, we're simply propping up failures effectively saying let's keep practicing the same crappy economics that got us into this situation in the first place. We need to tackle the hard problems and top just putting on more band aids.
- ·[▪_▪]·
little more than messy imho. when the next step in the panic could be a be the mother of all bank runs - as it may now happen - a total meltdown of the US financial system could occur.
- ray
The decline of our economy, the restrictions on our freedoms, and the increase of dictatorial centralized government policies are proving that the principles which Libertarianism opposes have failed. Why would you say that Libertarian views don't work when they have exactly predicted the state we're in today?
- Alan Cheslow
@Alan, there's never been a truly free market anywhere in the world to validate the libertarian claims either. But in principle at least, we should strive to minimize government except where needed to protect individuals and to protect the commons.
- LogEx
perfect capitalism = no profits (best price, service, selection not profitable) / libertarianism depends on how you define the network of one - you - legally & in terms of the law how/when it conflicts with the commons - again, political capital is the most *expensive* kind - pick your definition of "expensive" vis-a-vis individuals &/or society - age old & unanswerable - perhaps

I'm a Dem, but its a shame someone this intelligent didn't make it through the Republican primaries. Talk about "straight talk"
- Jim Goldstein
I hear nothing here that Obama has not said, although he may not totally agree with Paul's solution re the bail-out. I've also heard that Paul is opposed to freedom of choice for women and against gay marriage, and other social positions I would not be able to support. I wonder where he stands on healthcare, education, the environment, and other areas that are really crucial to the majority of people. We need MORE than a one-note candidate—someone whose only focus is on the economy, the internet, or war.

Not as sorry as I would feel for the U.S. and by inference, the bloody world if she gets elected the designated president in waiting to a really old president.

I think she'll be prepared and will do very well but that's just my opinion
- David Ward
Don't feel sorry at all. If you an't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Blame McCain for putting her up to it when she clearly isn't ready because he needed a very conservative woman.

I will say she wasn't well prepared for the Catie Couric interview but every other one I've seen she's done well. She'll be fine.
- David Ward
She's been hunkered down with (expert) crash tutorials/coaching for the past few days, while Biden has been out on the campaign trail. She may not do as badly as she could have.
- Susan Scrupski
@Susan, could be. But isn't it worrying that a person who is going to be second in line to the President needs tutorials/coaching? This is the highest office in the country we are talking about - not a university acceptance interview. I don't know about Biden enough at all to comment except he has a tendency to make up stuff from time to time.

just because biden's campaigning doesn't mean he's not doing debate prep. most politicians can do both at the same time. hell, most college kids can do debate prep and something else at the same time.

Prepare for Biden to be presented as a bully though. Also @Cindy - you managed to sum up in one sentence the core problem that many on the right have with 'elites'. You suggest there that only qualification, knowledge and ultimately intelligence should bring one wealth. That is a misinterpretation of the idea of merit and effectively a repudiation of the 'American Dream'. That Palin isn't qualified is a really important argument but when you boil it down to 'she's dumb', you'll lose that argument.
- mattpovey
Personally, I hope it is a disaster. She's simply unqualified.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
Cyndy didn't say that Palin is dumb...she just said that the woman is way over her head, which is patently and obviously true to all but the most stalwart Republicans.
- Alex Scoble
Prediction: She'll come on stage, and a stooge will come up and whisper in her ear. Then she will say: "I have to leave. Bristol's water broke. I need to be with my daughter. I need to be with my daughter. (Looking to Biden.) I'm sorry Joe, I have to leave."
- Paul Denlinger
"people who want way more than they are qualified to have." Sounds like 'dumb' to me. The problem is confusing position and role with the ability to create and bear wealth and 'status' which that comment does. I also find it amusing that people in FSI are suddenly unqualified. Were the technologists and venture capitalists who engineered the previous bubble similarly under-qualified?
- mattpovey
I love the smell of Republican desperation :)
- Victor Ganata
After reading this article http://tinyurl.com/3olmkf I was prepared to give her some slack. However, what Cyndy said is right; she's as prepared for the vice presidency as the country was for the banking crisis. And Biden should NOT treat her with kid gloves. She's certainly old enough (and tussled in politics long enough in her home state) to understand the dynamics of any debate. Unfortunately, I'm expecting her to do what McCain did during his debate with Obama, attacking his opponent, not the issue
- Helen Sventitsky
Speaking extemporaneously on topics and responding to questions posed by people who KNOW those topics requires MUCH more than the superficial knowledge and understanding they'll have been able to tutor her in in the last month. Let's be real here, people... Katie Couric is about a 2 on the tough interview scale. None of the questions Katie asked should have been unexpected, but she was totally incapable of answering them.
- Jason Carreira
I'm not American and live in Aus but Palin terrifies me. Her politics and lack of experience mean do not inspire in any way but the approach you're all taking to dealing with her is not a winner. It comes across to me as a schoolyard dust-up between the jocks (red) and nerds (blue). For reference, outside of Hollywood, the Jocks usually win.
- mattpovey
I'm feeling better that there's little chance that she'll actually be elected,but if she does we're definitely moving. I saw an article today with 2 quotes from people talking about how she's said that humans and dinosaurs co-existed when the Earth was created 6000 years ago. That should be an immediate disqualification.
- Jason Carreira
I haven't seen a discussion of the format of the VP debate dies anyone know if the Dems gave been snookered on the setup ?

The definition of "News" is something that is "New" to the reader. Those not sitting online all day can get a handy filtered, noise free and considered opinion in a portable format. In-depth analysis is missing from "lifestream journalism" and a good newspaper will expand "yesterday's news"
- Michael Rose
The thing that the WSJ can do for someone is add in depth analysis and opinion. Something the social media echo chamber is rapidly showing itself to be HORRIBLE about. We get lots of info on FF / Twitter / Techmeme but much of it is distorted and biased almost beyond use. Don't get me wrong, I think there is HUGE value in FF / Twitter and love them both - but it is becoming clear that more in depth outlets are also needed.

- Mathew A. Koeneker
Agreed. It'd be tragic for all if we lost what newspapers bring to the table. People should want to be helping them make the transition, not gleefully clapping their demise. Those are huge entities who supply jobs. Web 2.0 is quick to want the death of all things 'old' but sadly, none ever talk about or create models to replace it. At best, one out of the million blogs will be grown enough to be able to employ 30 people. Conde Nast employs hundreds and thousands. It's just a loss all around.

I doubt that everything in the WSJ was in FriendFeed . There are only a few papers in America because most are really part of a homogeneous blob due to all the syndicated stories they pick up. The WSJ does not rely on syndication, and instead produces its own material; it is by far the best newspaper in the states and is interesting all the way through. If you said the NYT or LAT, yes they are all over FriendFeed and have little depth unless they are articles dealing with culture or their local domain

It's the mechanical tolerance that too few take into account, Utna...

okay, this is really funny. my husband's putting our faucet in the sink and i just yelled at him, 'OMG, you put it in the wrong hole!" and he said, 'How was i supposed to know? It's dark and it's not like there's instructions down there!". and then we realized the windows are wide open.

...and going to church every Sunday does not constitute being a "good" person...

That depends on how you define "worship". I've had a couple of religious experiences.
- cecily
however, they are closer to their gods concept than those who stand in church, worshipping symbols and human crafted dogma ;)
- alphaxion
+1 alphaxion .. I'm living proof that one can be a creationist and not particularly religious. Man has a way of eventually screwing up nearly everything he touches. Religion is just one item in a long list.
- Mattb4rd
Well, the Bible does say church is where ever two or more gather in his name, so technically it *could* constitute going to church.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
@Tina, yes, kind of smart thing to notice. :)
- Daniel Schildt
I'm not sure if this actually refers to sex. Many a morning I shout "oh God!" as I slam my hand on the snooze button and then fall back to sleep.
- Liam Sullivan
and here I thought I was a religious person by shouting "OH MY GOD! YES! OH YES! OH GOD! YES!" everynight

- William Harryman
I always believed that how you conduct yourself and live your life on a day to day basis defines you as a good person (or not) more than any church appearances.
- Ian May
Thanks Daniel =) I find it's helpful to know the text when one is faithful surrounded by the religious.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Church signs do not constitute humor.

I'm catholic but I don't worship statues. Sorry to think that's the impression people are getting. (Though I'm not so naive to think it's not happening! hee hee) I also don't fit the stereotype. (EXCEPT FOR THE DRINKING PART)
- Melissa Kiser
@LouCypher *every* night? Wow!

Done properly (the participants should mutually agree on whom and how is proper) the activity described is closer to the divine than setting in a pew "showing" one's piety... however, to each their own :)

Actually, Tina, the verse is something along the lines of: "wherever two or more are gathered in my name, there I will be." So, put into this context........ ;)
