Spammers will invade Friendfeed at some point at what level, that remains to be seen. It’s too early to tell at this stage of the game. Friendfeed needs to implement the tools and mechanisms now while in the early stages, rather then playing catch up later on. Give the community the tools, and the community will use them.

Unfortunately the self-healing abilities of the community shrinks with their size, as the number of active members will be decreasing... But to me it took a long time until the spam sickness showed up

Comment spam is the current flavor on FF. How long before the other flavors of spam latch onto Friendfeed? I do a agree as the community grows, it will become increasingly harder to combat.

Remember, personalized filtering algorithms like the ones coming from NoiseRiver will help a lot more than top-down authoritative architectures. A spammer won't be in my social network; it'll be a newcomer without posting weight for a bit until they interact with things going on. That means a spammer'll either have to work hard to breech my social threshold filter or pick an easier attack.
