It seems they subsidize it somehow and get you into their UI, I couldnt find to buy one on my own. Like GoDaddy and the .ME debacle - Chris

I'm with Mona. Hit me up here if you want to be friends with me - FF is a nice central hub for my internet persona and activities. Facebook is for staying in touch with real life friends and the goings on in their lives. - Eric

"Technology is taking such rapid strides forward at such a blurring pace that what is considered a marvelous novelty turns into a mundane common object within no time. To classify and bunch a set of man-made marvels from a world that is being constantly altered is a pretty tough job. Finding them is easy enough in a world filled with man-made wonders but the relevance of such a compilation will be short-lived compared with a list from the ancient world. Yet we embark on a journey across the planet and beyond to try and find out the best the world has to offer—our own creations that leave us in awe." - Alejandro S. via Bookmarklet

Now you could go on for days trying to understand what's happening in this picture. What you really need to be concerned about is what's in the box under his bed. Is it something that he's not proud of, like: guns, Guitar Hero and body hair? Or perhaps it's something too good - too good for the world. Yes, that's it, it's something that the world isn't ready for...yet. - Mark Wilson via Bookmarklet
wow - Cee Bee
ummm... Do not want!!!!! - Tad - pals w/Terrorists
Is that a kid's bed? Geez. Hello, Basement Man. - Chris Baskind

“How many of you would pay for FriendFeed Beta?”
August 28 at 9:43 am - Link
nope - Shey
Not from what I see so far. Even then probably not. - Jeff B
If I had to pay, I'd stop using it. There are many competing services that don't charge. - Morton Fox
Well, normal FriendFeed would still be free, and eventually you would get the same features as the folks paying. What I am really asking is, "Would you pay money to be first into the FriendFeed Beta?" - possible248
Nope - Pete Gilbert
If I had to pay for the beta, I would just wait for it to come out of beta. It makes no sense to charge for beta anyway. Don't they want people to test it? - Morton Fox
Independent of FriendFeed, no. If something is a true beta, I'm "paying" with my time testing, finding bugs, giving feedback, and working in a potentially unstable environment. If something is a "pre-release for the cool kids" with the tag beta slapped onto it for good measure, I'll use it if I'm deemed a "cool kid"; otherwise, I can wait. - Joanmarie
yeah, i'd pay. No more than maybe $10 a year. But i'd pay. - Zee from WeDoCreative
Interesting perspective. I came up with this idea in the middle of the night when thinking of possible ways for FriendFeed to generate money. - possible248
i would pay a little but only if FF stayed competitive. Considering however how all the new competitors emerge like mushrooms and are all for free, not sure many would. Feedly is one good example. - Hayk Hakobyan
Tough question for the cheapest person on the Internet - Charlie Anzman
as in real money? how about some of those fancy virtual dollars? - Chris

If we only encourage interactions with people who are like ourselves by religion, politics, language, industry, etc., and shy away from everything else, will that not enclose us in a bubble? - Shey
Shey, this is an awesome post. Too bad the people who SHOULD read it probably won't. - Cyndy
Thanks Cyndy :) - Shey
Very nice Shey. If only everyone was as even keeled as you around difference and diversity of opinion. I like engaging people who have different values and belief systems as long as they are respectful - that's the bottom line. I like your posts about social stuff - you're very attuned to other people. - mel maverick mcbride
Thanks Mel, like you I find the social phenomena of this space, fascinating. I really liked this comment by you: "Well, Freud argued that the one type of pathology that was totally untreatable was narcissism. The narcissist's ego is so powerful they are incapable of admitting fault or need for growth." This is a huge danger, IMO. - Shey
Great post shey. It saddens me to think that as sites like FriendFeed become more popular the kind of gravitation towards one's "birds of a feather" will increase - on the other hand these tools allow us to identify and interact with individuals who place a premium on the same things we do (music, books, hobbies) which allows us to make those things a focal point while not completely eclipsing our ability to share our diverse thoughts in other areas as well. - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
Top shelf as usual pal :) - Charlie Anzman
Thanks Charlie :) - Shey
@Marco That's a great point - Shey
I personally friend people I find interesting. We may be alike in one area but differ in others. It's our differences that help us grow. - Lindsey Smith
Good post. I think part of the problem is a lot of people just seek to avoid confrontations and arguments, so they'd rather not see someone who disagrees with them. Personally I like to argue, so I don't have that problem ;) - Jason Carreira
I agree with Lindsey - my primary criteria is "interesting". Rarely does that mean "agrees with", because if all someone does is re-affirm my own point of view and tell me things I already knew... they're boring. I like to be challenged, and even if all I do is argue, then at least it forces me to defend my own ideas. - Eric
The term you're looking for is "echo chamber". - Robert Fischer
Case in point; This post comes up 6 times on my friendfeed page via different people & services - Cains
Cains: It just means it was an excellent post. :) - Kyle Lacy
+1 Kyle! :P - Shey
I wanted to comment but it turned into a post so..I wrote it on my own space. http://candaceholly.com/2008/0... - Candace Holly
It is easier to be among peers who share your interests, and to ignore input from people who are different. I wrote about this in early 2006 (Blogging Bifurcation - A Web Divided) http://www.louisgray.com/live/... Good stuff, Shey. - Louis Gray
I try to leave people I disagree with in until they get too abrasive. Then I have to block. It's not worth it to get annoyed online by some nearly anonymous nitwit. I get enough of that in real life, and in real life, of course, there's no block button. - Kamilah Gill
excellent suggestions Shey - Ruth Ferguson

Comparative public analytics are like betting on the horses: everyone's got a system. But knowing your own stats is great. The trick is getting someone who knows what they're doing to do the statistical analysis on that data. - Mark Trapp
Well I know which services to stay away from. - Corvida
Just looking at the graphs, it looks like there is some strange event in mid-june that caused all the numbers to drop significantly. The numbers are rising again (just looking at the graphs) so I am wondering if there was some sampling problem or change in sampling at that time. - Rob Diana
Oh the shame, the shame! :-( I'll be posting a followup as well, but I'll be blaming Cyndy for bringing me publicity I obviously didn't deserve. - David Knight
hmmm respond with my own Twain quote? "The reports of KillerStartups death have been greatly exaggerated." ? - David Knight
They all suck. They are great for trending, but for actual numbers? Not so much. I'm not even completely sure that I trust Google Analytics on its own. Unless it's software running on the server that my site is running on, how do I know if it's working or not? How do I know if it goes down or there's a bug or if something is messed up in the settings if I'm not the one running it? - Cyndy
I know Quantcast isn't perfect (and it undercounts on a direct measure) but of the bunch I'd put my money on them because at least with those participating it has some measure of truth based on raw data - Duncan Riley
*cough cough* Feedburner *cough* - Mo Kargas
@Rob.. I've got my followup post up now and I asked them that question, they made all their URL's more SEO friendly and took a temp. traffic hit. more here: http://knightknetwork.com/2008... - David Knight
David, excellent follow-up. It is interesting that you can see something interesting when you look at the various reports at one time, as opposed to one chart makes it look like their traffic died. - Rob Diana
Thanks Rob, I feel better having done it. I'll certainly be more careful with web metrics in the future . I asked a few more questions about the Startup News niche and Killerstartups in particular that I'll post later after I decide how to flesh it out if that interests you at all. - David Knight
David, I am definitely interested as I have been wondering about the startup news niche given the demo and tc50 conferences are coming. - Rob Diana
David, I've been catching up on news and noticed this little tidbit from Roger Kondrat that I found interesting as well. :) http://www.techwinter.com/2008... - Cyndy
That's a great find Cyndy, the comments are a real gem. Quantcast recommends using Google Analytics in addition to their own product. I would assume most people would, but interesting to hear it coming from them directly. - David Knight
I wish I'd seen Roger's piece before I wrote mine. More fuel for the fire. :) - Cyndy

“I need more podcasts; can you recommend some?”
August 26 at 6:15 am - Link
Things I already listen to: This Week in Photography, This Week in Django, NPR (several), Wine Library TV, ReadBurner Weekly - Benjamin Golub
Do you have Radio Lab in your NPR feeds? I pulled mine into Toluu not too long ago, they are all together at the top of my feeds list (minus the top 2) http://www.toluu.com/knightkne... - David Knight
My favorites are The Vinyl Cafe and This American Life - Will Goldstein
Diggnation, strongly recommend, if u could use Videocast. - Yuancheng
This week in photography is one of the best photography podcasts out there. The history of photography podcast is also pretty good: http://photohistory.jeffcurto.... Unfortunately there are not many more great photography podcasts. The Web 2.0 show has some good podcasts, TWIT, Phil Leigh's Inside Digital Media is good. NPR has lots of good feeds. - Thomas Hawk
the social geeks podcast - (jeff)isageek
of course Jeff better have recommended TheSocialGeeks podcast. iTunes or stream it. Subscriptions on the right of the site - Chris

“Everyone on FriendFeed is adding one another to Facebook today. What the hell is going on?”
August 22 at 8:02 am - Link
I had closed the books on FB, but my FF friends keep calling me back. Plus my ATL friends keep coming in. Not sure why but FB just keeps growing. The new layout is better, and no one is using those silly games. - Russellreno
Maybe that explains the people I don't know that have friended me lately? - James Ferguson
I play those silly games -_- But not as many as some people do. I just like everything to come full circle and I'm on FB all the time. That's how I check my FF. - Lindsey Smith
I agree that the new layout is far better. I'm glad that most of the apps are now hidden. I check my FB through FF thanks to a Greasemonkey script. - Mark Wilson
Lindsay - I started FF on FB. I did not realize there was a FF community until Louis wrote about FF back in March. - Russellreno
I have received a couple of additions, I really like the new Facebook set up and the home page works really well. I am sure as more people become accustomed to the features it will grow in popularity and more will use the bookmarking feature. I try and comment on as much as possible both there and here and both have their plus points. No duplicate items either as anything from the same source is merged! - Joe Dawson
Facebook meme for the next 9 hours. PS. I just added you. :P - Hao Chen
@James . . . I always try to identify myself as a FriendFeeder when adding :) - Lindsey Smith
i noticed that too - so what the hell, have at it: http://www.new.facebook.com/pr... - Morgan
:) So I noticed. I guess its sheerly 'like attracts like'. I hadn't checked FB in ages when today I was drawn back pleasantly. - Parth Awasthi
Noticed the Facebook friending myself. I wonder if there's a message on here somewhere where people talked about doing that. - Hutch Carpenter
bored at work? - Adam Turetzky
Powers of Friendfeed and Facebook unite! Who started this btw? - David Young
oh, and Pete and Lindsey started it today! - Adam Turetzky
Sure . . . blame me. :P - Lindsey Smith
Facebook is probably one of the sites that we aren't all connected through ha! - Joe Dawson
I thought we always blame whatever happens here to Mr. Scoble? - Parth Awasthi
i'm friends with lindsey and pete now - FF losing containment - spreading to other parts of the interwebs. edit: and mark. - Morgan
@Hao Does this mean everyone is going to avoid Rejaw for the next 9 hours? - Mark Wilson
@Parth I'm not friends with Scoble ;) - Lindsey Smith
@Parth Unless you are friends with Scoble already on Facebook I don't think you can add him now as he is at the 5000 limit! So once there you won't be able to blame him for anything unless he deletes some people and adds some fresh faces!! - Joe Dawson
hahaha, just make sure we're back on Rejaw within 3 days before all the threads auto-close. :P - Hao Chen
shoot, I need to get in on adding then - Chris via twhirl
BTW FB has a better bio page too. - Russellreno
I imagine some kind of critical mass was probably reached where enough high-profile friendfeeders became friends on facebook, that they started appearing in all the friendfeeders' "you might also know..." lists. I imagine that, right now SEO and marketing specialists are looking into how this effect can be exploited. - Slippy Lane
Facebook does enough exploiting by themselves. :/ - Hao Chen
If anybody adds me on FB and notices that I'm not very exciting over there...don't take it personal... - Rahsheen™
if might be that a lot of friendfeeders are realizing that we have a hell of a lot more in common with each other than we do with what's-her-name that sat behind us in math class in grade 11... - Trent Olson
Yeah Rahsheen . . . I've had better :P - Lindsey Smith
i'll friend and add everyone and anyone i 'meet' online to any social networking service i'm on, but i reserve FB and LinkedIn for peeps i actually know in RL. where do you draw the line line between real or virtual? - .LAG
@Trent Your comment has a high truthiness value. - David Young
that's one heck of a meme! Honestly, I just wanted to be able to send private messages to my FF friends, if necessary, and FB seemed like as good a site as any for that. Also, there's that sick ego thrill of seeing one's mailbox full of acceptance that works wonders on the old confidence level. - Pete Delucchi
Yeah, I can't play this game because I can't add more friends on Facebook. I can add more here, though. - Robert Scoble
Everyone can join Robert Scoble's fan page on Facebook http://new.facebook.com/pages/... - Mitchell Tsai
Facebook & LinkedIn are nice ways to keep track of e-mail contact info (for non-Twitter stuff). Here are 76 people on both FF/Facebook and how they connect to each other http://nexus.ludios.net/view/M... (Description at http://friendfeed.com/e/12d872...) - Mitchell Tsai
FB still has value for me since that's the one place where I continually connect with old classmates from high school and college. It's one thing FF CANNOT do for me. Come to think of it LinkedIn gives me that sort of value. How can FF capture that functionality. Rooms are too rudimentary for that. - Ernie Oporto
Must be a slow news day... - Jeff P. Henderson
It was a slow news day. CNN kept talking about a guy named Obama. I don't know what was going on. I don't really follow the news all that well. I also think something was happening in China but who knows? I just can't wait to go see The House Bunny starring Anna Faris(in theatres Friday). OMG, the trailer for that movie made it look so funny. I peed in my pants a little bit. I bet it will be funnier than Norbit & that movie made me laugh milk out my nose. k thx bai! - Mark Wilson
