FriendFeed Talk

FriendFeed Talk

A group for talking and chatting about the social media site, FriendFeed, and posting any mention of FriendFeed elsewhere on the net.
ffcode
if you were to redirect your DOMAIN to your twitter or friendfeed account which one would you go for? (1. domain is single 2.hosting not required, use google sites)
yeah i am experimenting about the response by posting it to multiple groups//.but it is also true that i was buying a domain just for using it for my twitter account, but now it seems if that goes though i would have to buy one for friendfeed too - ffcode
why not using third level domain? - Patrick
yeah can be used, but it didn't strike me, i was more like using top level - ffcode
I prefer third level ;) - Patrick from email
Holly Rae, FFer
First Twitter list semi complete... decided on somethings 'safe' (ie: no politics intended or implied) http://twitter.com/hollyra... decided to include music bloggers (thinking festivals get their own list) but now that I look at it maybe the musical bloggers are polluting the musicians
suggestions welcomed - Holly Rae, FFer
does this count as tech? LOL - Holly Rae, FFer
Wow, Kol. I'm surprised you found this in the midst of all my lala spew this week. :) - Holly Rae, FFer

Just realized why FriendFeed won't let me feed FriendFeed hashtag search items. It creates a *really* insane severe feedback loop. To see it, FF > Feedburner > FF
Kol Tregaskes
Good grief, if you want to read tech stuff only on FriendFeed then go to all the great tech related groups. If you are thinking that Best of is going to be tech only then you are using FriendFeed incorrectly. Best of will give you a wide variety of content. Use lists, saved searches and the hide button to filter what you want.
You control the content you see on FF. - Kol Tregaskes
As for great tech groups, here's a few: - Kol Tregaskes
You know, scoble told me that when I use to bitch about FFm "you make FF what you want it to be" Kol... it is time we start realizing he is simply trolling and all we are doing is boosting his ego - Holden Page
Exactly. - Maxamad (Amazigh)
How I Followed 30,000 People And Then Freaked Out When They Talked About Human Interests And Not Just My Beloved Tech Startups - Daniel J. Pritchett
Then you can drill down to specifics like Google Wave: http://friendfeed.com/google-... and http://friendfeed.com/google-... - Kol Tregaskes
And you've got tech sites groups like RWW: http://friendfeed.com/rww and Mashable: http://friendfeed.com/mashfri... - Kol Tregaskes
LOL, so true Kol. But given that things in Best Of Day are not tech-related anymore, does that make FF mainstream like Twitter? I love to follow geeks too but I understand the world is full of different interests. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Oh and there is a big Twitter group: http://friendfeed.com/twitter... - Kol Tregaskes
"all we are doing is boosting his ego " - well, there was that burn about a so-called "geek" needing to look up how to do screenshots... made the whole thread worthwhile IMO. (I can't roll my eyes hard enough when media branding topics are considered "geek" topics, BTW.) - Andrew C
and yes, I am full of haterade! - Andrew C
Andrew, that was totally funny and he was on about.com I believe? what geek still goes to that site ? lol - Holden Page
I'm not going to search for my FriendFeed friends on Facebook or Twitter. No offense but I don't want to interact with you folks on Facebook, and Twitter's 140 character limit is for morons. - Terris Linenbach
+140 Terris! - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Kol Tregaskes
Personally I'm happy that FriendFeed has varied content. I love tech but I can't take it all the time. I need some light entertainment, I need some funny photos, I need some memes. It all builds a community (and a fun and interesting one at that) and relationships and new friends.
All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. - LogEx
I also need photography related content, game content, etc. - Kol Tregaskes
No offense to our Johnny of course ;) - LogEx

I might have a few you don't have on your big list: http://twitter.com/app103... - April Russo (app103)
Bonnie, yeah and I'm adding to it all the time. - Kol Tregaskes
Dennis, April, I used your lists to add to mine. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Oh to be worthy (: - Kim Landwehr from iPhone
I'll also start to follow anyone who I'm not following too but I might need some of your to follow me back as I'm near my limit already and can only add a small batch of you at a time. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Thanks for the include on the list - that was very cool to see this morning. - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
No worries, Dan. I'm sure I've missed loads. Adding people all the time. - Kol Tregaskes
OK, I've followed you all from this list. Keep letting me know who I've missed out? - Kol Tregaskes
Jason, you already there. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
thanks for adding me to your "big ol" FriendFeed list, & even bigger thx for taking the time to put it together. - Alex Schleber
Fabulous list Kol - nice job and THANKS! - Susan Beebe
Thanks, Susan. Added a few more. I'm sure I've missed loads. - Kol Tregaskes

non-geek - chaz2b
@Marco Fabbri: Nerd != Geek. In SML Dictionary, Nerds have no fashion sense and can't talk to people, Geeks generally have a fashion sense and can carry on a conversation relatively ok; nerds usually wear white t-shirts and white sneakers; Geeks generally wear black t-shirts and black sneakers. A classic example: Nerd = Bill gates; Geek = Steve Jobs! - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

I'm like a geek's groupie. - MicahBear78
Geek! Still is. Still, Zu is using FF. - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
@Marco Fabbri Well I think that all geeks are nerds, but all nerds != geeks. I believe that Set(Geek) includes Set(Nerd) but this is a question I have been thinking about for years now and I don't yet have a conclusion yet. But at least that's where I'm at now! - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

I've always thought of myself as a nerd, but, according to Alex Scoble's definition, I'm not. So I guess i'm not sure. - Glen Campbell
What is Alex's definition? :-) - Kol Tregaskes
What the heck is the point of this question? Could a non-geek even use FriendFeed?? - Internet's Tad

The way I look at it, most of my friends primarily use Facebook OR Twitter. A few use both, and a few have YouTube Accounts. They don't read RSS feeds or use Google Reader or Digg or StumbleUpon.

If your Best of page is full of non-tech related posts then you need to subscribe to the right people/groups and/or unsubscribe to the wrong people/groups. Why complain about the content in which you have control of?
Have a said enough? :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Yes, beware of the Scoble effect :-p - Irma Vermaat
idk Kol, i think more can be said :) - Holden Page
Quick flood your streams with memes and photos. Go! :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Kol Tregaskes
Why are we still comparing FriendFeed to Twitter and vice versa? They are 2 different services. They provide 2 different types of services. Neither are tech-only haven and it's a good thing. If you want tech only you need to use the lists features on both services to filter on what you want to see.
I'm happy using both services, I don't see the need to pick one out of the two. - Kol Tregaskes
Kol Tregaskes
I must be going mad, I thought I saw there was a 'Best of groups' on the iPhone version of FriendFeed but we don't have it on the web site itself still. :-(
I wish Best of worked for groups. - Kol Tregaskes
There is. For example scroll to the bottom of http://friendfeed.com/iphone... and click on "Best of week" next to "Older items" - Benjamin Golub
Benjamin, thanks. I've seen the link and clicked on it but it's blank. I have a list of my favourite groups (including a lot of popular ones) but I get nothing when I click on the Best of. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
Ben can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Best of entries have to pass a certain criteria, such as having a specified number of Likes AND Comments. I find that some of my groups or lists that have entries without much interaction will come up blank sometimes when I click on "Best of". - Laura Norvig
Holly Rae, FFer
I'm so happy to find Lorie here in FF ~ she's a wonderful person to connect with for education, web, and all things tech. So Lorie, say hi and tell us more about yourself so the FFers can welcome you!
Hey, FriendFeeders! I'm new at this one, but loved how Holly was able to make comments on our presentation at NM-TIE. I'm an educational technologist at NMSU Carlsbad and have been a computer geek for about 25 years now. Love technology and love teaching online. I teach computer science and marketing classes online. :) Looking forward to meeting you all! - Lorie Mitchell
Loriiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Awesome. You're officially a FFer now. - Laura (hear me raura?)
Hi, Lorie. Nice to have you here. Yay for edugeeks! - Shea

Autopagerize is arguably the best #greasemonkey script ever written, and it works with #friendfeed, but I find myself needing to disable it for FriendFeed because the stream of constantly updating AJAX makes the pages almost unfollowable (but kudos to FriendFeed's #UX team though!) #geek http://userscripts.org/scripts...

You could definitely access an RSS feed of likes and search results on tags. You could bookmark these searches in your Delicious. However, I don't know of any way to import RSS into delicious. Seems like you'd have to do some RSS to data file to upload to Delicious. - Holly Rae, FFer

Could Robert Scoble Be More Wrong About FriendFeed? - http://ourdoings.com/ourdoin...
"First, about the supposed geek exodus from FriendFeed: "It's certainly not the dream community I once dreamed of. Not saying it won't be fun, but already the home page isn't the kind of things I care about." Well, duh. Use FriendFeed much? If you see something on your home page you don't care about, click "Hide". You'll get suggestions of things you can do to keep from seeing similar stuff in the future. It works! Like a lot of users, I have separate feeds for personal vs. tech stuff, so it's easy to hide whichever one doesn't interest you." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

"Remember me on this computer" the start of a bad relationship. - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
"Remember me on this computer" the start of a bad relationship.
"The "remember me on this computer" has to be one of the worst statements that is put before people on websites. It is a bad relationship from the beginning and you know it. I imagine it would be akin to dating an amnesiac. 1) It is not the computer that remembers you, it is the browser. Change browsers and you get the cold shoulder of "who are you?" 2) This scenario always will fail. So get used to it. Same browser you said you wanted it to remember things, but you come back and that familiar "who are you?" again. " - Bicentennial (Franc) from Bookmarklet
Most mortals use the same browser all the time, those who don't are typically savvy enough to know how it works. Not sure if FF does this, but a Flash cookie could make it cross-browser. FF does use Flash cookies, but I haven't bothered to figure out what for. I'm the last person who'd encourage that though... I purge my cookies and LSOs regularly, and expect to sign-in fresh, I'm not into being tracked. - LogEx
Frankly, I prefer the suggested use of: 'Don't remember me' instead of 'Remember me'. (checked by default, of course). To me it's more n00b-friendly. - Bicentennial (Franc)

Depends on how you define "web 2.0" and what your priorities are. FF can't really be used over SMS, which can be perceived as a usability and platform handicap. Twitter can be used almost anywhere, on any device, with almost any capabilities. That is a tremendous enabler, since virtually anyone can join the conversation. - David Chartier from iPhone
@David.Chartier Interesting perspective. 1. I see Web 2.0 as a collaborative universe, where Web 1.0 is mostly uni-directional communication. 2. Your point regarding Twitter being ubiquitous as it's usable almost everywhere is absolutely valid though! - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
