"Herds, or streams? I do believe there is a herd layer, don't get me wrong. But I also see a similar dynamic which balances individual action and community interest (rather than landslides and arbitrary shifts, or whimsical sways). It is subtle but not for long. Being able to track the various streams of intention allows for a spectrum of colors to result. The clarity itself is a basis for confidence (without any "external" insight or influence). This is objectivity, but I don't see people doing this, besides a few researchers, and some feared neurologists. Right now there is an induced lower standard keeping people away from being individual, so herds are our history. Removing this hard to maintain intent impediment make herds impossible. It is an evolutionary shift of changing food sources (in consciousness). It is like the difference between threaded and individual email, or irc vs. twitter... not like fish to bread. We are almost to a point where the standards people hold for their..."

"Well put together assessment of Obama's personal situation, from a social traction perspective. It seems more about the individual opportunities in the actual life situations of Obama's country and his opportunities to act, than about policy. My own hope is to work through conflict resolution (in a diff/merge code repository sense) and progress (in a journey sense, not in a task list sense) from an environment distanced from the problem itself and is objective. It is difficult to prove you are truly objective, but once you are, you can show your self to be evident (which is the value to others, by getting there). Constitution framers said this, and the document itself (pending interpretation) keeps power in place. But countries do not have an objective space to assess another political entities because they compete for resources and individuals. Similarly, monogamous married people cannot see around each other, because they "are" each other in the sense a mirror "is" its imager...."

"Writing on walls is important sometimes, like when they are orange walls and you have a lot of black markers to burn. That aside, yes, the flat surface interface, 2D world is played out. It actually makes us dumber to some extent. Video is not just better because it is more personal, but because it uses all the dimensions of our present level of perception. When you add to that the limits of internet interactions and their overtaking and replacing previously valuable mainstay experiences, yes, balance is the primary factor to consider."

Jackasses, bullies, people trying to sell me stuff, trolls and those who send out way too many tweets. I like well-spoken, intelligent people who may not always have something to say but when they do, they add to the value of Twitter/FriendFeed.

I only go looking when things get slow. People find me, and that's how I find them.

When someone parades a vice as a virtue and expects my attention or even my proximity longer than 2-3 days.

Someone who twitters about crap. Especially those I don't know (which is pretty much everyone). Someone who has way too many feeds going into their friendfeed. And someone who just doesn't appear to be active. Also, if you just don't post anything interesting.

Whether they participate in the conversation or not. Then again, I have a special list for the few people I import into FF who do not have a presence here.
- Steven Perez
Someone who posts constant updates about nothing really. Posting which game they are playing now and what level and repeating that message with each change is not interesting to me.

Supposidly if you message him, he is using Tweetdeck and he'll unblock you. but I just follow him via FF, which he would never block anyone on, due to him not using the service often
- Tyler (Chacha)
Same here, Pat. But, I have to agree with Chacha. It feel no need to follow him now seeing that he's just turning Twitter into a total joke and being somewhat nice to Twitterville.

"Gregory, You suffer the frustration of observing the social media world a bit too close to the monitor some times, but other than that you are an essential element of this place. You could not have put it better than the above. Let me point out a few supporting items and natural follow-ups to this gnosis: 1) The stance in nature designed to solve this problem is the female human being. Men tend toward linearity more than women, and yet women do not (always) fall into linearity to resurrect their man. They observe silence, knowing truth speaks louder, or they engage in service of an intuitive, surprising, original and unique nature which mystifies, distracts, usurps, solves. This is our mode today relative to mechanistic serial hyper-masculinity. 2) Arguing the assumption is useless as you said. But to avoid watching at the monitor very closely with critique, oh, say on twitter, it is important to give the mind an alternative. This is not to displace meditation, but to mention that..."

"I feel like I can stretch out and relax when I read posts like this, someone gets it too. That message, the signal we're sending out into the universe. Is it true? Keep it real yes, but is it also truth? I recall mumbai in Tweetdeck. You are absolutely right. My thought was that in digest form, or in a way that ranks as an emergency if I can impact it is essential; but I am giving birth to tomorrow as yesterday entails that, so why keep poking me? Sun Tzu said war is deception and he meant it in a clean, non-vile way. We take the image someone else receives and give it our own self, our very essence, in what we take away from the picture, not what we add or that we give a signal at all. Both in cleaning the story of unneeded grime and in giving actual "going forward" knowledge for the future, to deceive someone by tricking them into the right conception, bypassing your own defensive tendencies and touching the heart in another -- that is different from what I see. Sun Tzu would own..."

"Personality is a choice. If you are not personally in full personality, it would make sense that one perception would be pronounced over against another, specifically, personlessness. Science is arrogant because it erases itself in the mirror. It is an observer but it has influence and it does not account for it in all ways at all times. In this case that is fully presented. You are a person as I am. If I perceive a person it does not matter what you perceive. Really it comes down to that. My word against yours, which gets into the word, "word." It is the ultimate authority in the universe. It is my greeting and all-purpose word, because of that and because it is the English word for the word Logos which means Word in the supreme proof sense. It is logic, evidence, reason manifest. It represents the personality of the divine participant observer, who I personally know. In my system design let it be no secret that I share ideas with the Logos, which is why you will see that in my..."
