Only one person noticed I didn't have Leo Laporte on my list? Hmmm. I wonder who else I'm missing? (I found some good people yesterday, please keep them coming!) How do we get more developers, nerds, techies, and geeks onto FriendFeed? I guess FriendFeed should import http://stackoverflow.com/

Robert, he just did (http://calacanis.com/2008...). Unless that's not a blog.
- AJ Batac
but it's a social media list, so Jason should be on it
- franzstehrn
Scoble: I think FF started out with a bigger developer market when some of the developers in communities I'm involved with joined and brought me along, but every item in my feed now is about "Social Media" and that gets extremely nauseating after a while.

- Marc Canter
"get more developers, nerds, techies, and geeks" - do we really need ANY more. Sometimes, the most insightful observations come from non-techies - i.e. USERS with no technical knowledge.
- Paul Fabretti
Much improved :) The inherent thing about and list is that someone will always feel slighted or left off. (Kinda like award shows). They'll usually be on the next one if they keep delivering. The list still needs a few more (I'm thinking!) but does represent a decent cross section of the 'new and old' (that's what's important) .. . and yes, I would have said that whether or not Robert added me :) We need a solid room list!
- Charlie Anzman
Robert, I love these lists, helps me discover other voices to add.
- michael sean wright
Please! Aggregate the best people and then I only have to read YOUR stuff. What a timesaver. You read FF so I don't have to:-)
- Francine Hardaway
Thank you for pointing that out Paul. The way Scoble describes it, those of us who don't offer tech content don't deserve to be here. Or we have no value in this arena. Rather insulting and egotistical.
-
I don't think that's his point at all, JMS...I think he's trying to get the tech people to switch from Twitter to here.
- Alex Scoble
There's another post out there that basically says that Alex. But who cares? You're my favorite Scoble anyway.
-
Thanks :)
- Alex Scoble
And it may not be meant that way, but sometimes he does come across like that.

JMS: if you read it that way you should block me and be done with it.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, how can you NOT have Leo on your list. He was one the first I added. Leo rocks. :)
- Mol, Time Warping
Then I'd miss out on the shower pictures! :-D It was based on this comment "I want more techie behavior here on FriendFeed. This is my way of rewarding the people who bring me high quality bits." Just saying. But you do bring great content and I learn from you, so I listen and read.

Hey Robert is it because you are still pissed at me since the 70 entrepreneurs suck demo thing?
- Loic Le Meur

Hey, Tina (aka Stupid Blogger) made the list. Congrats to the girl from SC!
- Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
WHAT? Oh you've got to be kidding me, I'm about as noisy, meme-y and cat ridden as they come...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Loic: no, it's cause you link to Loren too often and only when he's talking about you. Actually, that's not it. I think it's because you haven't been putting any signal into the system, just noise. There's one thing about this list: I'm trying to only add people who have some signal to it. But, I'll probably put you on the list anyway cause you're a cool CEO and a friend. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Putting someone on the list because they are a friend kind of waters it down a bit, don't you think? If that's all it takes, then I should be on the list cuz I'm your brother.
- Alex Scoble
Tina: you are noisy, but you put into the system something about neuroscience. That alone qualifies you as a geek FriendFeeder.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, I was surprised at how active she was when I was poking around. Lots of quality insights on everything from politics to tech, from desktop meme to cigars... and I just like the fact that someone is representin' from good ole' SC ;-P Good catch on that one dude!
- Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
Hey Robert, define signal versus noise? I feel very offended by that statement, but you are also still a friend and a cool blogger, you would be in my personal list, I don't want to beg to be in yours it is your call. Thanks for calling me a cool CEO and friend, noisy though :_)
- Loic Le Meur
from twhirl
Ken, I have knowledge ADD. See my post today regarding the concept of experts...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
thanks for adding me Robert, I would still love to understand why you are defining my content as noise!
- Loic Le Meur
from twhirl
what about Lawrence Lessig - his interest and focus is on law and technology - but there is very relevant content on his blog and little noise - blog is here - http://tinyurl.com/6aefz
- SnakeDoc
SnakeDoc: is Lessig on FriendFeed? @loic: I just looked at your latest page and it doesn't have the "signal" that most of the other people on the list have. I added you anyway. Alex: you like too much, I read you anyway, but you are in a different list altogether. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Tina, no doubt I share this as well. However, the question you must always answer for yourself is whether you choose to apply the knowledge you gain for the betterment of all. Applied knowledge = Wisdom.
- Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
Robert this is no definition of signal. I will not leave you alone until I have a definition of what you call signal, but thanks for adding me.

Hi Robert, I gave a FriendFeed demo to my team last week and will talk about it next week during my SMX keynote in Argentina.

- Pascal
Pascal: My point? I want more techie behavior here on FriendFeed. This is my way of rewarding the people who bring me high quality bits.
- Robert Scoble
I think lists like these are actually making the barrier for "the other people" higher to appreciate Friend feed, because it's hard to escape a certain list of people on friendfeed because their posts are everywhere due to 600-800 people liking it you can't escape these people.. Perhaps articles and lists of "who to follow" are narrowing the friendfeed usage to an elite group?
- Pascal
Thanks again for the shoutout, Robert... my title = "site & tech lead of Gaia.com".
- Christopher Galtenberg
Pascal: "Like storms" on FriendFeed only last a few hours, a day or two at most. But then you'll have a lot more people to follow thanks to this list and you'll also have new blood coming in here because new people will see the value of participating here. So, long term it's a win for everyone. Short term? Yeah, it's a bit messy.

- Laura Norvig
OK, wait, you put Evan Williams on that list? The dude has ONE native post to friendfeed, and his tweets are not particularly techie. So ... some people get on the list just because of who they are, not because of their signal?
- Laura Norvig
You want more techie behaviour here? I love techie stuff, but it seems to me that FF is a huge echo chamber of techie behaviour. Now I know you're not at all interested in FF expanding beyond early adopter territory. If you don't like non-techie posts, why are you subscribing to people who post them? Who's going to put together a list of great NON-techie users? (One of the lists a couple of weeks ago had a number of non-social media/tech based people, and I subscribed to them all. I want more.)

I'm sure it's a lovely list for those who wish to focus on tech. With that said, I opt to not check it as I'm certain I'm not on it, and I see more tech in FF than I know what to do with already: Robert's Likes take care of that =)
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I don't make the list? Aww. I think I am at least as technical (on my blog as well as FF) as a lot of the folks on your list.
- Phil G
I talk about tech that all of you guys are afraid to touch - chiefly an understanding of MS server products and the destruction of the net through the use of DPI (limiting bandwidth or even access to specific sites/applications across the net) and the abuse of DPI (phorm and their ad peddling scum).. do I qualify?
- alphaxion
It's funny since I joined FF I've found that there's so much more to talk about than tech! You might not know it from what I post on here but I am a super tech-head geek.
- Her Lindsay-ness
How in the hell does one even become 'techie' on FriendFeed without just aggravating the echo chamber? When I first came on here, I wanted to post techy stuff. Even got myself a blog on Profy before Profy became Profy but I found myself always nine steps behind everyone else. Seemed like a dead-end rat race to me so I went with just being adorably obnoxious instead.
- Akiva Moskovitz
@akiva niching is your friend.. I seem to be the only one on here that can argue about active directory and the challenges to the core of power for MS that openLDAP and exchange-a-like apps such as zimbra pose instead of looking at a browser and declairing MS dead.
- alphaxion
@alphaxion, I doubt you're the only one that _could_ but you're one of the few that really _wants_ to get into that kind of religious war.
- Her Lindsay-ness
I am a "techie" but like others, I dont bother to post much "techie" around here because of the amount of tech. Not sure this list is even a worthwhile venture because ultimately what value will it provide?

I don't see it as a religious war.. especially since I'm OS agnostic. I grew up with apples, acorns and amigas, I was introduced to win3.11 in the early 90's and have supported windows server products from NT to 2008. I play around with linux and keep my eyes open. If someone genuinely does something good I'll agree, but I also refuse to fall for the "it's cool to bash MS just cause" camp and will acknowledge when they have done something right.
- alphaxion
Robert, I'm so supposed to be on this list. But before me, Zee for sure.
- Aaron Krug
I'm a techie by trade but social media has really fired up my interest in soft skills instead. I'm also a new father and low on cash so you won't see me ogling gadgets like I used to. I admire your drive to categorize everyone on FF, Robert. Hopefully you'll get some help from FF soon and won't have to compile all of this outside of the system.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
You are now working for linking the names on list, I am one of them; and really thanks for your valuable time! Hope to meet you one day!
- Erhan Erdogan
I wouldn't expect to be on the list, even though I'm probably at least as techie as any of the other PR people or MediaBistro. I'm really most techie as an audio geek, which I don't post about a lot here. Does being able to compose music & do sound design in ProTools, Max and at least a few dozen other geeky apps count? I know, everyone wants to be on the list.;-)
- Cathryn Hrudicka

Zee: I started about a week ago. I went through all 3300+ people I'm subscribed to (I've been gathering subscribers all year long). Then I added anyone I remembered as sharing something with me that's geeky over the years. I'll write more on the list after I finish building links.

I really hate these lists... mostly because there's obviously way more than 100 people that are worth following - or we'd all have following lists of 100 or lest. Partially because the first thing we all do is look to see if we're on the list - if so, we breathe a sigh of relief, then worry about 'living up to being interesting', if not, we wonder why not and get sort of hurt and offended (I know I'm in good company, my twitterstream tells me so.)
- Lucretia Pruitt
On the same level tho - they clearly create traffic and conversation - this thread is huge, people on your list are seeing bumps in their follows, and the comments are still coming in on your blog. So they obviously generate something. Unfortunately, some of us walk away feeling like we must be "failing" somehow - and that's such a crappy feeling. I know that I don't use FF sufficiently to make any list like this - but have to wonder about other folks who didn't make the cut. :\

Thanks for the inclusion. My gripe is that there are still only FriendFeed "name claimers" on this list. I know that a few people on it don't use FF at all. And you don't know what blogs I write for, Robert? ;)
- Tamar Weinberg
tamar: ff started as a presence aggregator and it still does a fantastic job of that even for the "name claimers" you dislike - i don't think its a requirement for everyone to be liking and commenting up a storm on ff to bring value to a feed especially if they bring a lot of signal via their included services alone :)

one thing that is interesting about this or the criteria used, is that what does "interaction on FF" mean? What if someone is creating a ton of interesting content on flickr or podcasting?

What’s your blogging dream?
- Duncan Riley
I started blogging to try and start sharing what is inside my head with whom ever else is interested in reading. I think another element is to network a bit more and try to "get out there" a bit more. FriendFeed is helping with the latter of the two more than anything.

My blogging dream was to write posts that actually started conversations with people more than a couple of people. It didn't work because no one stumbled across my blog. Eventually I pretty much gave up. Then I found FriendFeed. Most of the time, when I post something, I get to discuss it with several (sometimes many) people. The dream is now fulfilled.

Contribute something useful, provocative, or entertaining to the reader. Sounds corny, but if I could do that consistently, I'd be content.

Eventually I hope to educate, teach, enable my visitors to take something away and use it.

Oh ... and be acquired by Google, so I can blow the money on horse racing.

Chris, now Google is in the content game with Knol, you never know :-)

dunno what my dream is exactly - it keeps changing. I just do this stuff because i can get paid for having fun.

My dream is to get you all access to what you don't have access to today.
- Robert Scoble
But, really, I blog for the same reasons back in 2000 that got me to start: to put things into Google. To tell Dave Winer what's up in my life. To share cool stuff I find around the world. To shine the light on the developers who are improving my life. To have fun.
- Robert Scoble
I started blogging to realize my best possible self in whatever avatar I have dreamed up for myself at a particular moment -- it is the social media enthusiast/ the marketer who went off consumption today, it may be the itinerant storyteller/ the brown hippie tomorrow.
- Gaurav Mishra
Some pretty good dreams here.
- Chris Baskind
Scoble, very solid reasons. Mark, your dream is to do it for a living and to enjoy it
- Duncan Riley
I'm just a freshman blogger, but my first blog was a true story written using extreme metaphorical events and characters so as to create the illusion of fiction while crafting just enough similarities to let the dear friend I was writing to know how I felt and that I would support them through whatever. Over time its developing into a more personnel story that fills in some blanks to my overall online experience but the general theme is to use my stories and life experiences to help the younger gen.

I blog to leave a portrait of who I am for my family and friends.
