@Robert - how are you planning to "track" / follow the chatter on this topic coming out of Redmond? Will you get phone calls? email? Tweets? IM? DM? What does MSFT typically do when they reach out to you? Do they often reach out to you or do you usually go out and seek specific teams/products to go interview and write about? Curious about your past process of engagement. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Brian: Frank Shaw is on Twitter and has my phone and email. I've gotten Microsoft stories all sorts of strange ways. First of all, back when I worked there I never dealt with PR -- I'd hear about interesting things on their email mailing lists, or I'd find out about stuff through the grapevine and just call up the dev involved and asked if I could come over. Now, though, I can still do that somewhat, but usually I have to get PR involved at some point since there are rules inside companies against ... - Robert Scoble
...talking to the press without having a PR person in the room. Frank already Twittered me once tonight, so it'll be interesting to see what he says in the morning. - Robert Scoble
Believe me, I know all about those rules working in the enterprise SW space for a publicly traded company. Can't wait to see what kind of response you get though. btw - great to see you again and meet Maryam in person. Good times! - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Nice post Robert. Did there really used to be 8 levels? Wow, that would have been a bundles of laughs. Or pain. - Stu Andrews via twhirl
Stu: that's what my friend said. He might have been off one level, though. - Robert Scoble
Robert: Yeah okay. Even so, still boggles my small-devteam mind though. - Stu Andrews via twhirl
Enjoyed this piece - some interesting insights and ideas about development. It will be interesting to see if Robert gets to follow this story further, in the way that he wants to. - Mark Dykeman
I can understand MS not wanting him to gain that access, but man I hope they do. Big step for Robert, big step for MS, big step for the importance of the blog as a medium for change. - Stu Andrews via twhirl
Robert, great article, or entry or whatever they are called these days. Really enjoyed reading it and for a change I don't disagree with you on it. Will be interested to hear how things shape up - Jonathan Jesse
that's a great idea/article, and i hope you get the access you want. i would love to follow that story! - idnan
I really hope you get this article. From a software development perspective I would be extremely interested to see how these changes affect the quality of work produced. There is just so much potential for some great knowledge to come out of this work, I think you would definitely do it justice :) - Devlin Dunsmore
Nice blog post! ;) Let's wait and see what Win7 is gonna be! - Mehrdad Afshari

not really irony. it is part of why web 2.0 is different to the rest before, we do change the way we see society and the typical labels in it. in decades to come people will look on this and say 'this is when it changed'. - Nicole Simon
oh and anyone else thinking this should be tagged with entp and intp? ;) - Nicole Simon

we're in the middle of setting up Zoho Projects for our Field Marketing staff. It's much more functional and almost as easy to use as Basecamp, which we had been using. The smartest thing Zoho does is set up a "services wide" account for you once you begin an account with them. I can now use all of their services based on one log-in without having to opt-in. - David Connell via twhirl
My company also uses Zoho. I do feel kind of bad about it though. They are like the Canal Street of software vendors. So many of their products seem like blatant knock-offs with less polish, which really irks me speaking as a developer. Speaking as a user and business owner, It's great to get so much functionality for such an affordable price even if it isn't always pretty. - Chip Ramsey
I've used a few Zoho tools to test out options for the company I work for. Ultimately we chose Central Desktop for project management as we liked the pricing model better. I was pushing to go all in with Zoho though. The ability to have their CRM tool integrated with their Projects tool seemed very intriguing for business workflow (capture -> execution). - Chris Stevenson
Chris, you will see more and more integration from Zoho, that's their main focus now, rather then just pushing out new products. That said, Central Desktop is a great product. - Zoli Erdos

Which half? Half of those online? Or half of all US adults? - Stephen Pierzchala
Bogus! --- "However, it's worth noting that in this particular study "social media" includes text messaging. Combined with blogging and social networking, these three technologies are used by 50% of U.S. adults for communication purposes." - David Knight
I'd be very wary of these numbers. I tried to contact a few hundred old friends/acquaintances (age 38-48) and only saw about 5-7% on Facebook. LinkedIn is by far the non-e-mail system they use the most often: 25-30%. However, a HUGE percentage of those people abandoned their accounts and/or are VERY light users, so that contaminates the numbers. - Mitchell Tsai
Last time I checked, I think LinkedIn had 22 million accounts opened, but 3 million cancelled. Many friends took 3-5 months to respond to a "friend request". Maybe 10% because they're picky, but most just answer "friend requests in batches". Very different world from FriendFeed 15-min-response. For my Tribe.Net friends (age 21-80), I'd say that 50% have not updated their accounts in 1 yr+. They started due to peer-pressure/peer-interest & left. - Mitchell Tsai
Even out of my super-techy friends (CTOs, Tech CEOs, Computer Science Professors) who used to use everything....at age 38-48 - almost no one (less than 5%) use Twitter. - Mitchell Tsai

Er, friends. :-) - Robert Scoble
Boo ... missed this list ... apparently I need to be commenting on your blog more often :) - Nick O'Neill
OK, that's too funny. Individual FriendFeeders and their last 5 entries. And yes, it perpetuates the A-List... - Hutch Carpenter
Nick: no, on my FriendFeed! (Guy Kawasaki: Nick is a mover and shaker tech geek in Washington DC, keeps one of the top Facebook blogs). - Robert Scoble
Nice list and format for checking out some of the top FriendFeed users (at least as picked by Guy Kawasaki and team). - Robert Scoble
Hutch: the A list is NOT dead. It's just that everyone will be on the A list soon. - Robert Scoble
Too bad many of the people on that page are not really actively participating in conversations here. I say down with lists ALLTOgether. @guykawasaki meh. I'd love to see that page filtered to only show native Friendfeed entries/comments. I bet it would look pretty empty. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Ah gotcha ... oh well ... I'm on one of the other All Top lists anyways http://socialmedia.alltop.com/ ... Do any of you use that site regularly? - Nick O'Neill
@Nick - never. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
wow .. I made a list .. uhm .. now what?? :) - Steven Hodson
You take the rest of the night off and celebrate! Heheh. - Robert Scoble
Too bad being busy ate their time, but sometimes you should have time to converse with friends... and participate in here. - Jack
Nick, no, I'm too busy reading FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble
Steven - let the subscriptions flow baby! - Hutch Carpenter
Wow - all that does is convince me that AllTop is moving into really useless territory. Why would I EVER go to AllTop to find new people to follow on FriendFeed? I'm even on an AllTop list (journalist) but think it has little value (get an RSS). - David Cohn
Thing that really sticks out about that list is that it's all tech and social media. FF is already broader than that (not that there's a thing wrong with tech and sm). - Chris Baskind
Self promotion is a good thing. However, whoever made that list should have titled it "Subscribe to my friends on FriendFeed" - Candace Holly
another list polluted by who Guy likes at a given time. It was my issue with alltop to start with, and still is. I made fun of Trumors at one stage, and I've been banned ever since - Duncan Riley
Impression, or impersonation? - Louis Gray
interesting group for who is there and who is not there - Christian Anderson
is there a way to create your own page there? - Orli Yakuel
Louis: I only copy the best! :-) - Robert Scoble
Well I somehow made this list. This concept is somewhat similar to Crowdstatus. I created a page a while back to track users behind the top Lifestreaming services http://lifestreamblog.com/usin... - Mark Krynsky
Apparently, I've been too quiet on FF - at least I can still hang around with y'all over on the Twitterati list. But I don't blame guy - apparently, the list was compiled for him. :) - Lucretia Pruitt
Yeah - very interesting list - I really don't see many of those involved on FriendFeed much. Curious how he compiled that. - Jesse Stay
Every time there's a list it perpetuates the A-List. "Everyone" will never be on the A-List as long as there are lists. - Cyndy
What Cyndy meant to say is that if there is "a list", there will be "a list" unless there is "no list" - Louis Gray
the truth is that lists have always been around and are here to stay, part of life... - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Dude. That was before caffeine. At 6:30 or so. After a night with a kid in bed with us. I seriously need a new bed. I'm thinking of moving into the bunk beds since they are so rarely occupied by actual children. I swear it made sense. - Cyndy
I enjoy lists that show me NEW people to follow, interesting people who I might not have heard of or seen, not a carbon copy of other lists or the same names repeated everywhere. I guess I don't get it. What's the point of these lists? - Trish R
The lists are a great idea and I can't complain since my two main blogs are both on Alltop lists. The problem, especially with an emerging medium like FriendFeed, is that it perpetuates the existing hierarchy very quickly. Simply by being on the list, you'll get more subscribers and stay atop the list. - James Joyner
Alltop's Frienderati page looks like the A-List "elite". I agree with Lucretia, it appears this list was created for Guy and he shared it. ;*) - Susan Beebe
