My guess is the guys at FriendFeed are already thinking about this and are preparing (hopefully) to fight the problem of spam.

"With the steady growth that Friendfeed is experiencing," - whats your sources ? do you have data to prove this statement , in terms of new users signing up and using FF ??
- Peter Dawson
Peter: FF is seeing sizable growth according to my follower stats.
- Robert Scoble
i've received so many useless followers on twitter trying to peddle their goods. i'm not sure how friendfeed can prevent spam considering the format. hopefully it doesn't go the way of craigslist

No, "FF is seeing sizable growth according to my follower stats."... thats according to "Scobles" !! What I am seeking is true new users signup and usage stats, Not just Scobles Screech. I don't mean to be impertinent to your comment , however, thats exactly the type of statement which I would like to call in . Your thoughts are important, but give me data/graph ..till then, to me , its just screech !!

I would have to say that, while this post does a good job of building suspense, it just isn't that serious. Rooms can be made private. Captcha could stymie these massive spammer attempts at different points of entry. This only works for rooms. Nobody is going to keep following a spammer. I know, I tried...everyone unsubscribed (j/k...don't unsub...srsly).

The same can be said about identi.ca. I agree spam might be coming to FriendFeed but, can they really do anything about it other than the "report for spam/abuse" feature?

I haven't seen any spam yet... Isn't the block feature already a solution? We do communicate here and if someone spams, we say it and we block him/her. Don't you think?

I had to post this for it almost seems douchebagary to me "callingbull 4 hours ago How is this problem different from blog spam or any other type of spam on public systems? You write this as it is a unique phenomenon. FAIL. "

I think the miscreants are already working Twitter and Friendfeed and your measures are worth thinking about. My gut tells me that FriendFeed will be more resilient.

I actually find it more smart the way FriendFeed is built. You have your own vision of the river. You consider someone spaming? hide it, block it... It's your choice!

The major point I was driving home is room spam. Spammers at this stage of the game,have yet to realize the true potential of rooms on Friendfeed.The ingenious part is how the spam-vertsied rooms would and could be used.
- Mike Fruchter
I've had a bunch of spammers follow me on Twitter lately. I block them when I remember to, but usually I just don't bother following them back. From the perspective of a non-tech-savvy end user here, I guess I haven't quite seen this as a problem yet -- they can spam all they want, but I'll never see their posts.
- Nathan Rein
no spam so far, once they do, get your block button ready
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
I will throw this out there, what would happen if the phishers caught onto rooms? I could picture rooms themed out with various corporations media, all aimed at easily duping a person who is not too net savvy.

It was said on flickr, and I have to agree, #3 does resemble Patti Smith during the great, late 70's punk scene.

"The current marketing-based approach is fatally flawed, Crompton says. His work debunks the popularly held "foot-in-the-door" mantra (change your light bulb today, and you'll move to a walkable neighborhood and sell your car before you know it!), with documented psychological research revealing little evidence to support that individuals will continue to move up the sustainability ladder. Instead, actually, "There is some evidence that … individuals rest on their laurels," Crompton says: consumers often make some small steps and stop."

When it makes economic sense, people will change. It's really that simple.

Article opens with a straw man argument. No rational Green thinks eco-consumerism is a discrete solution. I think he's right about greenwashing and green fatigue, though.
