Hehe :-), Leo doing that is quite nice :-)

I have cut the cord with twitter. No longer having an account is soo freeing. Going the opposite way of the world.

Oh no, so you do unfollow Robert Scoble? http://beta.friendfeed.com/scoblei...
- Ryo / Fuck Facebook
Oh, did Twitter enabled the functions?

Hey, good idea. I think I might do the same.

re: #unfollowfriday Whoa, Leo, do we unfollow you too since U used the "O" name in yr last post? I am a tech who loves and follows your show and websites for years. My boyfriend was on your show. I hope you retract this one quickly as it is not like you. Some of these you will unfollow are your readers and viewers too. I will have a few tech questions to come later. But I had to say that, Hope you don't mind. Still love ya.

Why so many people like Kutcher ?
- Haluk Hafızoğlu
I don't understand why so many people like him either? Hes a little punkass.

Better not RT that one. It'll mention all three.

How about unfollowing anyone who Britney Spears? lol
- Greg
Kutcher, Oprah and Spears, oh my! It's the twitter trifecta. I'm gonna do it!
- NikkiPixel
Oh noes! What about da intertubes? Or da interwebs? Verboten as well? #unfollowfriday is interesting concept. Q: Will it blend?
- CAJ, somewhere else
I bet you still talk about it ad nauseum on Twit though... ;o)
- halfmanhalfgeek
i wish i could get you to follow me (on friendfeed), let along have to worry about you unfollowing me #unfollowfriday #greatidea
- Chris Heath
Even if you were following me, it would be worth loosing 1 follower to post "CNN declares Ashton Kutcher: The World's Biggest Twit". Finally, we have it from a respected source.
- Jeff Fischbach
I seriously don't understand the indignation of all the tech geeks over this publicity. Who cares? Does it impact your social network, your reach, your audience? How is it a bad thing? Twitter, like FriendFeed, is a tool that can be customized to your own maximum benefit. The whole Kutcher/Oprah mania is only on your radar if you want it to be. It personally doesn't hit my radar except for all the geeks being indignant about it.
- Jeremy Hall
What haz happened to teh internets??
- Josh Haley
[HAL] : I'm sorry Leo. I'm afraid I can't let you do that.
- You.
How about adding Fail Whale to the list?

Will the follower contest between Kutcher/CNN and Oprah getting on twitter be remembered as the point at which twitter jumped the shark?
- Andy Bakun
Probably not andy, although many already are/have been - i don't think 'jumped the shark' is the right term for what's happening here... maybe it is...
- Chris Heath
Leo, your 'bromance' used "internets" this morning...do I smell a breakup?! Oooh controversy ensues. Great shows, love TWiT and the network.
- Michael Johnson
I'm thinking of unfollowing @aplusk at least because twitter has started to be more of a celebrity contest. Note: I followed him before this whole tweeteace thing.
- Howell Selburn
from BuddyFeed
Leo doesn't follow me anyway, so never mind.
- Morton Fox
following isn't your style anyway from what I can tell. If you ain't the lead dog, the view never changes! So keep on leading and let the rest of us sniff you butt on the path to success! I for one will happily sniff, but no licking will be done (for free, anyway....)
- Morgan Haley
does that mean you will be unfollowing Ashton Kutcher? because apparently you can't: http://www.flickr.com/photos...
- alexia tsotsis
@alexia You can type "off aplusk" as a tweet. "off USERNAME" is another way of unfollowing someone.

That seems close to being payola since it is based on "social vibrancy rating" and online followings.

I know of at least one person on Twitter who declined the offer, because they were not hybrid.

Attending a panel on the death of newspapers. Panelists seem to think online represents an enemy. I know it represents opportunity.

I like how history repeats itself. Newspaper->Radio->TV->Blog->Netcast. Newspaper is a bad business model, but we need JOURNALISM. I hope you can convince the room that great journalists need to modernize how they get their worthwhile messages out because they still have a lot of important things to say. How about discussing how these journalists can make a GOOD business model with modern technology!

"No, but acting as though they are makes for a more dramatic (and higher scoring) blog post :) FriendFeed is about simple sharing and discussions. bbgm gives a great example in another comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item... During the live show that lead up to this blog post, there was a very active realtime discussion on FriendFeed about the show (and MA's Twitter/FriendFeed claim): http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegi...... Regardless of what people think of FriendFeed and these spontaneous, lightweight conversations, it's pretty clearly different from Twitter."
- Paul Buchheit
FF is becoming like a bunch of disjointed chat rooms on steroids if more debates like today's about beta.ff continue.
- William Mougayar
Not really I think. People will adapt and use it in their own way. I found out FF is kind of advanced IM conference when you focus on and join 1 single conversation.
- Ninh Nguyen
Looks to me like a mash of nntp newsgroups, gmail conversations, IM and Twitter. I'm not sure yet whether I should just add it to my arsenal of tools or use it to replace some, hopefully making it easier to discuss and debate. It seems that there is a new tool for connecting people coming out faster than users' ability to master them. Eventually we'll end up with one app that does it all (just a wild conjecture), and I had more to say but I've just run into the post limit of 512 chars :-)
- Rob Simpson
You can use it to pretty much replace Basecamp and much of our email - and it takes those up a notch on effectiveness because of real-time nature. Disrupting enough? That's just getting us started.
- Nick in Manila
@Nick, true true. Just discussing that this morning in the studio. Isn't FF the start of OpenMail?
