“Is there a new power law for social media? http://www.ffholic.com/Users.a... says there is. Can you see it?”
3 hours ago - Link
1. Almost everyone on this list rarely participates. - Robert Scoble
2. Almost everyone on this list is a popular blogger. - Robert Scoble
3. There is a definite tech bent to this list. - Robert Scoble
4. In the first 100 I see only a handful of names that I didn't know a year ago. - Robert Scoble
5. Most of the people on this list have been to at least one conference or event I've attended in past year. - Robert Scoble
And yet the most of use don't really care about them... http://www.ffholic.com/Entries... - Johnny Worthington
So, lessons? 1. it's hard to get onto the top of the popularity lists and wasn't made easier when a new service came out. 2. such lists favor people who network their behinds off at physical events. 3. Participation in FriendFeed helps you move up a little bit, but only if you are both very active and throw interesting content into FriendFeed (like, say, Mona). What else do you learn by looking at this list? - Robert Scoble
Johnny: well, you might claim you don't care about them, but in aggregate I see that most of us follow people who are already popular, not people who actually participate. Of course, since FriendFeed is, at top, an aggregator, just putting your RSS feeds into here is participation, I guess. - Robert Scoble
We do subscribe to them, because they are beacons. But you also have to weigh that list by the amount of 'active' users who subscribe to them. I know of at least 5 people who are members here on FriendFeed, who subscribe to most if not all of the top 20 yet never come on here. The core group is what matters. Those who are recognizable names will always get more follows, but the core of the group http://www.ffholic.com/Users.a... is what drives it. Rankings are always skewed. - Johnny Worthington
I think part of this is that many people use FriendFeed as an aggregator. - Aram Zucker-Scharff via bTT
This list just looks like every top 100 for every mainstream (in tech) online service. It shows that in the main, the top 100 don't use friend feed but send feeds to it, I don't think that = participation, at all. - Kevin Dixie
Kevin: there is a participation effect, though. On Twitter Leo Laporte has twice the followers that I do, but not here. Why? The participation effect. I've gathered quite a few followers by participating here. - Robert Scoble
I agree - participation is key to any community see my example here (a userguide to my community) http://www.fuelmyblog.com/inde... Online has the very same rules as offline and glad you are showing that - Kevin Dixie
FriendFeed is far more of a 'community' than Twitter is, participating here counts for far more than almost anywhere else, however, participation (and how much you participate) is also a lot less visible here, in my opinion. FriendFeed (as a system) favors those who create content to import into the stream, not those who contribute to the community. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
The smart people (like you, Tina, Mona, and others) know better. The result is that being active on the community nets your rewards from the community itself, not the system. Is that a bad thing? - Aram Zucker-Scharff
Kevin : I disagree, when you are sending feeds in FF, you are pointing at us, poor human, what you find interesting. I think this is a kind of participation. Robert is doing that very well (too well ?). The only exception is twitter for me. I find it very hard to follow a twitter conversation here on friendfeed. - Olivier CASTETS
Good discussion. I interact and participate much more on FF than on Twitter. Why? Because FF is a much better tool for enabling engaging communication. I find myself being very careful conversing on Twitter because I feel it's easy to pollute the stream, whereas on FF you can do this without the same effects. - Mark Krynsky
The first thing I notice about the list is that NOBODY on FF has more than 20,000 subscribers. I reach more people through my blog on a regular basis. Is FF really all that influential? It does seem to be a great way to connect with the geek elite, but is that its only value? - Eric Hamilton
Is finally FF the blogging tool of the near future? You just posted one line and a link and the most interesting and remarkable thoughts and comments appeared in minutes from all over! - philos
I'm finding that this is the case. In a way, this microblogging is easier to do and maintain than having your own blog. I find it takes a lot of time to maintain my blog, but it is so easy to update using microblogging. And you can easily track the conversations. - Alvin
@Eric - That is because people at FF actually read the people who they subscribe too (for the most part) instead of the Twitter method of following everyone. - Aram Zucker-Scharff

Misty Highrise <- My new most faved shot.
34 minutes ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
This has become my most faved photo on Flickr. Despite me being on Flickr for years, three of my five most faved shots were uploaded in the last three months, including one in the last week. This seems to have happened since I used Phill Price's advice to upload one shot a day, and blog it. Thanks for the advice Phill. It's working. Interestingly, none of these top five faved shots make it anywhere near the top of Flickr's interestingness. I think think their algorithm needs an update, because Flickr likes far worse photos than my contacts. - Chris Nixon via Bookmarklet
What's your blog Chris? can't find it in your Friendfeed items. - Juan Pablo González
Always happy to promote! http://nixonbyname.com/ - Chris Nixon
Thanks... but I'm missing something. Are you getting hits to Flickr from your blog? I can see the upload one shot a day, but if you don't have your blog here in FF, are you promoting it somewhere else? in other words, how does the blog portion been helping? - Juan Pablo González
I do post my blog here, but I do it manually, so I can add the photo. I'll post first thing in the morning GMT, then share on FF in the afternoon when our North American pals get up. - Chris Nixon

LOL -- I really can't even begin to imagine what some of those books contain.. namely the MySpace for dummies book. - Nicholas Kreidberg
Who would buy these? - Aaron Krug
Did anyone see the creepy MySpace class skit on SNL? http://www.hulu.com/watch/1420... - Chris White
@Chris yes, saw that SNL skit! Was hilarious... yet creepy. Very creepy. - Gary Bacon II
More importantly; who would buy these at $22 each? - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina) via IM
@Aaron: Dummies, of course! :) - ♣genieyclo♣
Yeah, there's no Twitter for dummies, either. :p - Helen Sventitsky
FFundercats steps up to the plate, no? - Josh Haley
Wouldn't "Twitter for Dummies" be a pamphlet? - Mark VandenBerg
Exactly, Mark...not much too teach is there? - ♣genieyclo♣
we could fit "FF for Dummies" on a cocktail napkin. "Like, Comment, Post, Repeat." - Matt Musgrave
My Space for Dummies is a tautology - Nadine Schaeffer
You missed "refresh" and "post LOLcats religiously" - ♣genieyclo♣
genieyclo- that's FF for advanced users. lol :p - Matt Musgrave
MySpace for Dummies makes sense... MySpace for smarties, OTOH would be a mystery - Sean Reiser
You know what's missing from that collection? AOL for Dummies. - April Russo
Robert Scoble says smart people are on FriendFeed, so we don't need a Dummies Guide. Ok, well, that's not what he says, but I'm just going to keep telling myself that's what he says. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
We don't need FF for Dummies. We have a nice room to send the newbies to: http://friendfeed.com/rooms/sc... - April Russo
Orkut is missing though! :) - Sameer Panchangam
No Twitter for Dummies either. But then again, what's there to learn? - Morton Fox
We don't want dummies to FriendFeed. FB and MySpace is for them ;) - Jemm
Would be a cool idea. Hey Jemm, common you elitist :) - Ryo

"To be a company that society wants to exist." - Bill Strathearn
Entire industries, and nations, can rise or fall based on their understanding (or lack thereof) of this phenomenon. - Sean McBride
The motto "to be a company that society wants to exist" brings to mind Kevin Kelly's recent post on the near future and whether we can create a vision of collective betterment that motivates people instead of galvanizing them with fear of others: http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/... - Keith Pelczarski

O M G. Looks at the bacon. LOOK!! - Mona N.
whoa! - Susan Beebe
That's so wrong - what I'm waiting for is bacon bit toppings or a fudge sauce that tastes like bacon! - Wayne Schulz
You Americans have some funny traditions --- "So I candied my bacon the old-fashioned way." :P - Dave Pook
Maybe you could use bacon drippings as the topping on the ice cream. With the salty melty-ness oozing deep into the ice cream...or maybe not - Morgan Haley
Barf! - Sarah Perez
Interesting. - Thankful Molly
Mmmmmm:) - Patrik Johansson
i dunno...bacon ice cream? i'll try it but i ain't buying a quart to go without first getting a taste - Morgan Haley
Go away you haters. It's a big pile of candy coated WIN. - Mona N.
bleh! - Carmen
Hmm, on one hand, this sounds disgusting. But on the other...intriguing. I would try it. Indeed, I would try it in a heartbeat. - Jamelle
I love bacon. I love chocolate. I once tried chocolate with bacon in it, and I almost vomited. Like actually. I assume the same would go for bacon and ice cream... - Clay B.
That's candy covered candy - Bwana
just listened to you on FFUndercats Mona .. sounded like fun ,, I like your laugh - johnpiercy
The waiter at Oliveto didn't recommend this dessert when we inquired about it at the Whole Hog Dinner there last year. The meal we had there was on of the best I've ever had, definitely in the top 10 (and we had things like brains and ears), and I felt the waiter didn't steer us wrong. I love bacon, I love ice cream, but not together. - Sarah
It would probably be even better if it were maple swirl ice cream. While it's still soft, gently stir maple syrup into the ice cream then pop it back in the freezer to harden. - April Russo
God no... - John Spencer

It needs more....no, wait....no, it's perfct as it is. Heaven, thy name is bacon ice cream. - Slippy Lane
