Hi Alexia. I'm Thomas. Nice to meet you.

Scoble? who is that? :P
- Nicholas Kreidberg
Alexia is one of our dear friends down here, and a great writer! (works at @laweekly)
- sean percival
I loved that newspaper when I lived in L.A. Was the first place I ever read "Life in Hell"
- Thomas Hawk
so all this time you guys have been on this?!? and you kept it a secret?
- alexia tsotsis
I wouldn't say Scobles exactly been keeping it a secret. ;)
- Thomas Hawk
Welcome to FriendFeed, Alexia, the best part of the internet! :D
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
lol. I had heard about it but was pretty meh until he insisted I try it today. am happy I did - real time is so BADASS.
- alexia tsotsis
we're so happy you did too.
- Thomas Hawk
Can you DM people on here?
- alexia tsotsis

- Thomas Hawk
I'd direct message you first but you're not subscribed to me yet.
- Thomas Hawk
no so what do I do? click on your name? you can be my first DM :)
- alexia tsotsis
@alexia come over sometime this week and i'll give you the run through, this site is no secret anymore! :) I'd ask LAweekly if they can create an RSS feed of just your posts, then feed it into here.
- sean percival
if you have a mutual follow, you click their name, then the link to DM is in the blue nav bar, right side. you can see it on my profile http://beta.friendfeed.com/seanper...
- sean percival
just hover over my name and click subscribe.

- alexia tsotsis
damn. so close.
- Thomas Hawk
oh my! really what can i say here that wont sound like a sloppy social media 2nds joke
- sean percival
Two quick questions about DM: are they private? If so, can we make them not private (I've seen members publicly adressing their posts to other members, so I was wondering)?
- Brome
they are private unless you also direct them to your feed.
- Thomas Hawk
im actually wondering that too
- sean percival
OK, thank you Thomas.
- Brome
yw Brome. even if my answer was mostly to bump this thread.
- Thomas Hawk
Just subscribed to you Thomas, your efforts impressed me. Thank you all for making me feel at home here. :)
- alexia tsotsis
hes one of the best to follow here! also see the "best of the day" link to the right, great way to find interesting folks
- sean percival
whew! I was worrying there for a few minutes.
- Thomas Hawk
Okay now I'm subscribed to you too Chris. Three cheers for the Friendfeed Welcoming Committee!
- alexia tsotsis
I like, I like
- Jim @TechFrog Alden
Alexia, I'm curious. Thomas Hawk linked to this conversation, which fascinates me because most of the conversation that I've seen has been from existing users. FriendFeed, of course, wants to get new users like yourself. My question - as you've increased the number of people to whom you subscribe, what have been your impressions of the real-time feed? Is it getting too busy for you, or is it still OK?
- John E. Bredehoft
Also intrigued to see the answer to John's question
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
John's question is a good one. Alexia, do you still love FriendFeed this morning as much as you did last night?
- Thomas Hawk
I have your answer, Thomas and John - watch LAWeekly.com this afternoon, will be posting my experiences :)
- alexia tsotsis
hi alexia

Hi *waves* from Rochester NY :)
- Susan Beebe
hi Paul. am on phone with you now - what do you think about Arrington's take on FF http://tinyurl.com/de3ao9 ? from what I see people ARE using this thing.

Alexia, people definitely use FF. Moreover, they're not just techies and early adopters, no matter what you read in other places. The trick is finding people that discuss the things you're interested in, and the improved search/filtering options should make that MUCH easier. Kudos to the FF team for the work on that.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
so just wrote an LAW article on my FF experience. thank you all for being so gracious FRIENDFEED - NOT JUST FOR GEEKS ANYMORE http://sn.im/fgfw3
- alexia tsotsis

- Anne Bouey
Welcome Alexia. Glad to have you
- Keith - @tsudo
Welcome to FriendFeed, you'll like it ;)
- Nicholas James
Great article, Alexia =)
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
WELCOME! great article - by far the best description I have seen anyone not already immersed in FriendFeed - thank you
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Nice article Alexia. Thanks for that! :)
- Thomas Hawk
WOW thank you all so much - this thread is so epic, going to use as exemplar whenever I need to explain what rocks about Friendfeed. :)
- alexia tsotsis
as you can see we are a little tired of the arringtons of the world trying to use friendfeed like an electronic bill board and then bitching when it doesnt work - when we identify that someone actually "gets it" we can be a bit lavish in our welcome lol
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
I loved this article, thanks for sharing!
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Great article & welcome to FF!
- Tracy Benham
Alexia, I just had a chance to read your article, and was fascinated by your perspective. While some existing users are complaining that you CAN'T adjust the speed of real-time display, your major point toward the end of the article is that you CAN adjust the speed (via filters and hiding).
- John E. Bredehoft
AW you guys are so cool. when ever I'm like "who exactly am I writing this stuff for?" I return to this thread.
- alexia tsotsis
Whoa, this thread is longer than the one hanging from my old sweater. Win!
