Scarily legit looking 'make money online' scam looks just like any other news site complete with fake comments: - http://news6today.com/2009...

Wow, that's some pretty good copy, I actually though you were sharing a story about the scam written by someone, and I wouldn't have realized it was a scam till they mention GoogleFortune.
- Jimminy Fuller
Plus none of the images on the header link to anything - they just look like they do. And here I was looking for a sports story :(
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I love how it says that the comments are closed to spam, more like they don't want comments to bash the scam. Not one of them showed any legitimate doubt about the product, all of them were pimping it.
- Jimminy Fuller
Google "comment-author-Mehmet" (which is a CSS class name in the fake comments markup) and you get this: http://www.complaintsboard.com/complai... - The summary: "This is based out of Phillipines. It posts FAKE blogs on how people made money posting stuff on google. They initally took out $2.87 from my account and I just found out they will take out $70 something monthly. Oh and of course the 800 number stays busy so there is no way to contact them."
- Micah Wittman
Ouch!

It is impressive isn't? I was faked too. But that's because the idea is so good, so realistic.

I'm having login issues with Facebook as well (and so are a number of my friends in different parts of the countries). FriendFeed FTW
- Sam Harrelson
from IM
@Sydney I rather like FriendFeed, there's just more people on Twitter for me, it drives WAY more traffic, and it's RARE good discussions evolve here from anyone other than POWER users.
- Ryan Stephens
love how we all pop over here when twitter is down ;)
- Kate
Ryan: how do you have discussions on twitter? I'll agree that they are rare.
- Johnny
What's up with twitter? Nothing. :-)
- Panayotis Vryonis
Johnny: I have more discussions b/c my friends engage more there...of course harder to follow and usually include only 2-4 people. I LOVE the threaded comments here, provided a group of intelligent people were chatting, but how often does that happen? Sometimes with people like Scoble, Owyang and Louis Gray? (that's been my experience anyway.)
- Ryan Stephens
Ryan: I don't think it's fair to assume that there is a lack of intelligent conversation on friendfeed, especially with your 12 comments and 2 likes which tells me you've never really tried it out.
- Johnny
I was not fully awake trying to bring up the Twitter page. Good to know it wasn't just me.
- RuthNH
Ryan: I'd be happy to build you a list of friendfeed users and send them to you later today
- Johnny
Sam .. They are like alternate universes. Didn't expect anything in my Facebook feed, but knew it would be hopping here. Love this! This is going to be a Trending Topic I suspect ....
- Joe Magennis
from iPhone
@johnny I'd love to see that list, I'm going to sit down with friendfeed this weekend and figure it out
- Sydney Owen
Well, you mean in general or just the current outage? ;)
- Mads Kristiansen
Sydney: Subscribe to Kol (http://friendfeed.com/koltreg...) He is a very active user on friendfeed and already has a recommendation list. I'd be happy to create an additional one for you as well.
- Johnny
.. Scoble must have run his script again, I guess.. ;)
- Mads Kristiansen
Johnny: That's completely fair. I've lurked a lot & have read a lot of Louis Gray's, Scoble's and Valeria Maltoni's insights with respect to FriendFeed. You're right, maybe I'm not following the right people. And I didn't necessarily mean to imply there was a lack of intelligent conversation. It's just rare that I've seen these discussions develop from anyone's comments aside from a few power users. I'd be grateful for a list of users.
- Ryan Stephens
A social networking coup?
- Melissa Pierce
I heard from someone that Twitter doesn't even know why it's down.
- Paul Chaney
Ryan: I'll subscribe to you and get you a list in the near future. This conversation that you are engaging in right now happens with the majority of users (not just power users).
- Johnny
Yep, Twitter is still not working out here on the east coast @ 10:07am.

Interviewed a hiring manager yesterday for research report on "Social Media Skills" she said LinkedIn recommendations are worthless.
Hutch Carpenter, Jason Pollock, Meryn Stol and Nick in Manila liked this
Interesting she thinks so. I'm not a hiring manager, but for me these recommendations do have value. Where else can you find so much persons being described by others? Yes there are all kind of biases and gotcha's, but for me - almost without exception - more information is better.
- Meryn Stol
I agree with Meryn. Especially useful when you come across recommendations from people you already know to be trustworthy.
- Seb Paquet
And if "Jeremiah Owyang" thinks favorably about a certain person, I'd sure like to know. :)
- Meryn Stol
Very true. I was surprised you can edit recommendations before you can accept them...
- Samuel Driessen
Doesn't the quid pro quo nature of the recommendations undercut their value (i.e., I'll recommend you if you recommend me)?

Is there a way to make the "Also send this comment as an @reply twitter from drylight" always be checked?
Mike Chelen, نعیمی Naimi, immaterial and Kol Tregaskes liked this
Yes, check your settings.
- Samuel Driessen
Diego, if you go to http://friendfeed.com/setting... there is an option to have this checked by default. Hope this helps! Thanks for writing in.
- Ross Miller
Ross: I have "Check 'CC Twitter' box by default" checked in my settings, and have for a while. Is that the option you're referring to? I tried un-checking and checking it again, but it doesn't stick. Unless it's the wrong option that I'm looking at.
- Diego Barros
Sorry, I was confused and thought this was the default behavior. I just confirmed that it is only checked for new posts. I've added it to our list.
- Ross Miller
I think this problem also applies to comments in posts from the bookmarklet. I tried to report that issue last week, but apparently I wasn't able to make myself clear.
- Uche Ogbuji
Thanks, Ross
- Diego Barros
I, like perhaps you do, have a daily google alert on my name. Notice that single tweets are starting to make it into those alerts lately.

Nice if your "Hutch Carpenter" or "Mathew Koeneker", but if you're "Mark Stevens", you may as well be "John Smith". Everyone needs to give their kids really unique names now (and squat on the domain too).

- Keith - @tsudo
Really? Thanks Keith - let me check those out.
- Hutch Carpenter
Yep, same for me too! But doesn't catch all tweets though.
- Samuel Driessen
For another way of doing this try using a vanity/branded room on Friendfeed. Setup searches via Google, Twitter, Backtype, and pump them all into one room.
- Keith - @tsudo
@keith thats exactly how i do it.

Good idea. This would help for FF adoption. https://twitter2ff.appspot.com/ used to do the job or at least help a little... But it's not working anymore.
- Samuel Driessen
I would still like to see an Imaginary Friend consolidator. When someone signs up for FF and you have some of their feeds in as an imaginary friend, have it prompt you to subscribe and ditch the imaginary friend.

The nice thing about breaking news on FF is that the number of posts required for everyone to get their OMGz out are decreased by an order of magnitude. On Twitter there's 5 tweets per person about MJ, on Friendfeed there's one post for every few people and then those pile up the comments.

It just goes to show how long he's been around and how much has changed since The Jackson 5 days. The word revolutionary comes to mind.

Do you mean "how did you find out that he'd died?" or "how did you find out that some people were saying he'd died?". The answer to the first is "on the BBC". The second is "FriendFeed" - although what I saw on FF was a feed through of Twitter.

Plurk. Funny thing was that on FF I saw a slew of MJ posts paying tribute, but didn't understand why everyone on FF was so MJ crazy. A friend on Plurk directly commented that he and Farrah had died.

I found out Michael Jackson had been hospitalized on Twitter. then rumors started that me may be / might not be dead, so I tried searching the web for confirmation and found nothing. Soon, there were links on Twitter to the CBS UStream broadcast which confirmed his death for me.

I'm currently in the hospital and i suddenly woke up in the middle of the night at 3:30 AM and couldn't fall a sleep again, so i turned on my cell phone and in the magic of that quite hospital night i found out from Facebook's statuses of my friends that he's dead. It was a very sad and strange feeling.

Got a txt msg just after 2p (MJ Cardiac Arrest 911) - Turned to my friend and said what the msg said and "He is goinna die" due to Ed McMahon dying earlier this week and that whole 'dying in 3s" thing. I didn't know about Farrah Fawcett until around 5pm. I was away from my computer al day and don't have a 'smartphone.'

Saw it in a Swedish tabloid (?) in a Coöp Nara (grocery) in Stockholm. It was in Swedish, but Michael Jackson 1958-2009 was clear enough.

Working on an article about FriendFeed for the Dutch edition of Lifehacker. I'm already working on collecting articles about it on Delicious, but more suggestions for articles about the pro's & contra's of FriendFeed are welcome.

Hoi Toon, goed idee! Langzamerhand wordt FriendFeed ook in Nederland wat populairder. In deze post http://www.jeroendemiranda.com/friendf... laat ik zien hoe Krispijn Beek van MinEZ, Samuel Driessen (OCE) en ikzelf al sinds januari informatie verzamelen over Open Innovation (innovatie 2.0): http://friendfeed.com/innovat... .Nu 39 leden. Gebruik dit gerust in je artikel als je wilt!
- Jeroen De Miranda
Hi Ton, great idea! FriendFeed is getting more popular in the Netherlands. In this post http://www.jeroendemiranda.com/friendf... I show how Krispijn Beek of Dep. of Economic Affairs, Samuel Driessen (OCE) and myself are gathering interesting articles on Open Innovation (innovatie 2.0) at http://friendfeed.com/innovat.... Currently 39 members. Use this post if you would like to!

Helloo Toon,
- Samuel Driessen
Hello Toon, te snel op enter gedrukt... Ik zou in je artikel even uitleggen hoe je met FF start. Dat vinden heel wat mensen lastig (waaronder ikzelf). Maar als je het eenmaal gebruikt is het fantastisch.
- Samuel Driessen
Mensen, ik ben te snel... Sorry dat ik 'Toon' schreef, het moet 'Ton' zijn.
- Samuel Driessen
klopt, het is wat lastig om het te leren, wellicht ook goed om te laten zien dat allerlei tekortkomingen van Twitter door FriendFeed effectief zijn opgelost. Robert Scoble laat genoeg voorbeelden zien.
- Jeroen De Miranda
Was niet mijn idee overigens, Samuel & Jeroen, maar van Frank Meeuwsen. Hij wilde wel 'ns begrijpen wat ik er nou zo fascinerend aan vond. Wat ik precies ga vertellen in m'n artikel weet ik nog niet, maar ik ga in ieder geval proberen te belichten wat de voordelen van de service zijn, hoe je 't kan gebruiken voor diverse doeleinden ook. Daarnaast moet 't ook betrekking hebben op...

Question: If you were recruiting, how would you feel about applicants looking you up on LinkedIn or Facebook & contacting you directly?
I would have no problem at all with that. I'd even like it.

Weebiz: A Social Network for Companies Is Born http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
Really interesting! Strange this idea hasn't popped up before (as far as I know). This is really interesting for open innovation. Companies can open up their network, compare their networks with competitor's networks, etc. Or is a company network so core they wouldn't want to have it up on the internet?

If there were a Twitter with 10-sec voice clips instead of 140-char text clips, would you subscribe to it?
Well, it would be easier to follow when you're driving a car!

Assume you've seen the Mitsubishi EV. If everyone trying to put an all-EV on the market did, there would still be more buyers than EVs. I'm hopeful. Living in Alabma, I've seen a Smart, Vespas, tons of Flex vehicles and a Mercedes running on fast-food vegetable oil. The market is willing. http://friendfeed.com/jasonn...

I'm not really sure how it all works either.

It isn't easy (enough) to get the hang of it. But keep on hanging on and you'll get it. Move as many streams over to FF, is what worked for me.
