Seesmic, Friendfeed and Twitter next to each other in a test version of Twhirl. Adding tons of Friendfeed experience improvements in there, Marco rocks.
Is twitter's api actually back up at 50 req/hr?

The old Twhirl works for me in linux for me, it just won't remember my password.

Yes Marco does. Twhirl is becoming my info hub. And if Twitter dies, who cares I'm sure Pownce, Jaiku or whatever could be swapped in

This is so weird.. I was just thinking about this today, when I was arguing with my wife about why I post so much stuff. I'm thinking that personal branding is important.
- Joe Mac Stevens
Really good stuff, Chris. Thanks for sharing.
- Bruce Turner
Thank You! Excellent topic that I will delve into right away.

except that you do a US only list it is a nice list. would it really be asked too much to at least recognize that for example linkedin does not rule the world and write "join the leading biz network, like for example linkedin"?
- Nicole Simon
Holy crap, Chris! This is great stuff! Would you say personal branding is for anyone, or more for people who have something to sell through their online persona (a product, service, or opinion)?
- Zach Landes
thanks Chris - what a great resource - wil be sending this to all my staff - if only they will DO IT! :)

Wow, this list is awesome Chris. Thanks for sharing it.

One of the great things about blogging is it gives businesses the opportunity to listen. Your point about listening is well taken.

(1) Use Scout to find the best work of any Flickr photographer. Enter your Flickr ID, and it returns all photos in Flickr's public Explore/interestingness stream. This stream contains the top 500 photos each day according to a "magic donkey" from the Flickr team. Enter your photostream at http://bighugelabs.com/flickr..., then try your contacts.
- Mitchell Tsai
(2) View by archive. Most under-utilized view on Flickr. Want to tear through someone's 2,000 photo stream in about 10 minutes? Only way, best way, is with archive view.
- Mitchell Tsai
(3) Search any tag search term and then rank by interestingness. Most people don't realize when you search by tags what Flickr fetches by default are the *most recent* photos tagged with your search term. Want to find super interesting photos? Rather than rely on the default most recent photos results, click on the "most interesting" link to the immediate right of the "most recent" link on the page and you will truly see some amazing work.
- Mitchell Tsai
(4) Groups: My favorite is DM Gallery http://www.flickr.com/groups..., a group whereby Flickr Members from Deleteme Uncensored vote on photos for inclusion. The number of photos in the pool must remain at a static 200.
- Mitchell Tsai
(7) Photos from your contacts and friends and family. I pretty much make anyone who makes me a contact back. I usually keep my settings for my friends/family at 5 and for my regular contacts (I've got a lot, over 2,000 now) at 1 photo each.
- Mitchell Tsai
(9) Flickr Toys http://bighugelabs.com/flickr John Watson has developed the finest collection of Flickr Toys to date. In addition to the previously mentioned Scout toy, Flagrant Disregard has a wide variety of other Flickr toys that you can use to see Flickr photos in fun and new ways. You can turn your photos into a mosaic, you can make a billboard out of your photos, a magazine cover, a captioner and many, many more. If you find yourself enjoying Flickr, definitely check John's site out.

(10) And finally (whew) a little self plug for my own collection of favorites. I mentioned earlier in this article that I've personally collected over 14,000 favorites. One of the biggest reasons that I've collected so many is that I'm hoping in the future that Flickr (or a partner) turns out a full screen slide show version of Flickr for view in my living room. Although favorite diving...

Kol: Thanks for the awesome photography sites. I'll try to check them after dance camp. P.S. Kol's Vi.sualize.us feed is http://vi.sualize.us/koltreg... I have it in my Google Reader. Kol bookmarks great pictures...
- Mitchell Tsai
@Mictchell Tsai: Thanks for the plug, not not so many on Vi.sualize this week but that'll all change today while I catch up with things ;-) I'm also sharing many on Google Reader too (mainly photography posts but anything cool and useful I find will now pop up on my feed. URl to follow when I'm on FF site (as I cannot copy+paste in Twhirl!!)

My Google Reader link is anyone is interested is http://www.google.com/reader... - I've added a GM script that allows me to post to Delicious too but it doesn't seem to be working :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
ugh. good to see pictures like this every once in awhile. found via boingboing

Images of political and cultural distress, no matter how disturbing, are always so interesting. It's a moment caught in time that you'd never see otherwise, preserved for history. Brilliant.
- Andrew Dobrow
so agree.. I think I stick to the web interface because using Forums and BB for so many years just make it natural for me . great post
- Naor Mark
I just found this thread. Thanks for the great comments! (I'm the author)
- Phil G
I liked it too... Just a little remarque, what if we all (includng me) take a look if something is already shared and just "Like" a previous submitted link in order to reduce the redundency and still get our friends notified? Don't you think?
- directeur
@directeur, that's something only full time bloger can do :) the rate of comments and submis. is so high, I can't even think of going back and look around
- Naor Mark
Searching for duplicates when posting is a good idea, but I've tried it and it's a real pain in the butt to do if you're in a posting frenzy (a state I occasionally find myself in). Some kind of script to find similar or duplicate links at post- or comment-time would be better. Having friendfeed index posts by target URL and automatically merging duplicates (hidden behind an "expand" button, of course) as part of the service would be best. Fragmentation is becoming more frustrating than noise, IMO
- Slappy Line
@Noar: I understand :) We're living in so much abundance... by submitting less redundent content, we can save energy, save money, children! save the planet! Think about it! ;-)
- directeur
Ok, this is a little bit exagerated :)
- directeur
I think there will always be duplicates, here. If I were to add the above link in del.icio.us, it will show up here yet again under my feed, and so on.
- Phil Crissman
hmmm.. "..submitting less redundent content".. you just killed Web2.0 :)
- Naor Mark
For the record, my wordpress blog has a friendfeed widget below the article, that links directly to the original FriendFeed syndicated entry. So, you can read the article and then find the original conversation! (which is here by the way: http://friendfeed.com/e... ) .. also, you don't really want to know just how...

all we talk about is FriendFeed on FriendFeed! LOL
- Elliott Ng
Probably coz it gets the most response from a bunch of linked people who were mostly all early adopters and as such interested in the development of it.

J Phil's "tell-all" article (111 comments, 142 likes) main discussion is http://friendfeed.com/e... and a side comment: When you find an interesting conversation. Search the "title" with "who:everyone", and (1) you can see the other parts of the fractured conversation (2) you can find the more interesting discussions. http://friendfeed.com/e...
