Great info! I agree fish where the fish are :) - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)

Agree on the whole. I always find these categories a little artificial: Really "Forrester-speak". :) I think the recommendations are the most interesting. I'd make a separate post out of that. - Meryn Stol

You say it yourself: "What’s interesting isn’t this vision for the future, but what it holds in store for brands, " . I'd like these recommendations to be fleshed out with concrete first steps to take. Doesn't have to be more than links to relevant resources. - Meryn Stol

Meryn The recommendations are fleshed out in the actual reports. Our clients (brands) have access to see them. - Jeremiah Owyang

Hmm ok... Then I'll need to get the details elsewhere I guess. :) - Meryn Stol

Interesting categorization of the development into eras. Any consideration to the impact of scale on the 5th era? Just as a recent example with Facebook, their format evolution was not well received by what is not an insignificant number of members, and yet the reality is - that change - negative impact not withstanding is not rolling back. - Patrick Boegel

There will be a give and take between communities and brands. The thing is, Facebook doesn't have a competitive alternative that users could go to. In my report, we suggest that active communities could define specs for products, and bid MULTIPLE companies to build it. - Jeremiah Owyang

I completely understand that Jeremiah, just wondering if the nature of scale impacted or perhaps better said impacts the thought process for very complex long term brand relationships, ie Health Insurance, Financial Services, a college/university choice, where consversation and user invovlement can be complicated. Very interested in the full report either way. Thx. - Patrick Boegel

good stuff Jeremiah, enjoyed and some good thought provokers there for the future - Richard Binhammer

Nice paper but really expensive for young people. $750 means $41 for page. - Alp

Great information, understanding the future's potential is more important than ever on the social web. - Maria Reyes-McDavis

Interesting, but very general and hard to apply. I see companies more as å provide of tools/stage for conversation, aka the gold rush mining vs selling tools - Anders Dahlberg

Alp, Many of Forrester's clients are large brands who have a subscription. We're still sharing a great deal on this blog, and have given the report to bloggers to cover, so there's value to be had there. - Jeremiah Owyang

Jeremiah (and the team), a great piece of work and, I imagine, a labour of both love and loathing at times! I have been very interested in this area as I have looked at the shift in skills to deliver social media activity changes from one of basic coding knowledge to much more human, interactive skills. - Paul Fabretti

Fantastic article! I found it SO intriguing that I've even printed it out! - J. D. Ebberly

"How Brands Should Prepare" is a great bit of information. Jeremiah, it would be nice (i'd be reading) if you expanded in future blog posts about the "How Brands Should Prepare". - frank barry

That's likely to be a research report I'm thinking about writing Frank - Jeremiah Owyang

Probably correct in assuming that most online social networks will neither spawn nor solidify to the point of being considered ‘affinity groups’ with the level of cohesion, unified budgetary authority or organized implementation capability of NGOs, churches, or employee aggregations. Even in the era of social commerce. I hope I’m wrong. - A Mitchell

Great post, understanding the future's potential is more important than ever on the social web. - Vlad Hrouda

Just found this... great stuff! - Gerd Leonhard

I have learned that when a popular person starts a discussion, tired people forsake sleep to participate. - Mike Dammann

Anybody else still out there? There you are, Mike. That's true, isn't it! - Lisa Dee

Dictionary.com defines "meme" as "a cultural item that is transmitted by repetition in a manner analogous to the biological transmission of genes." Basically, the cultural equivalent of genes. They can mutate and evolve faster, of course. Since I'm working on a couple novels, I like to call myself a memetic engineer. - Dennis Jernberg

Except for the people in earlier time zones, that is. - Lisa Dee

Borneo, wow! What do you do there, Mike? - Lisa Dee

I checked your followers, Rob, and the fake DeVito is retweeting Jason! - Dennis Jernberg

Dennis - ok, thanks for that. Not sure I'm 100% clear, but I think I get the gist of it. - Lisa Dee

participating in a reforestation project with a Dutch company, right now the forest fires are getting bad though. I won't be able to get outta here any time soon :) - Mike Dammann

I reported his ass so he will be gone soon - Rob Madden

Wow, Mike - good cause. Too bad about all the forest fires there. Here too in CA right now, north of Los Angeles. - Lisa Dee

Mike - WHAT?? YOU'RE NOT ON TWITTER? Or are you, and I missed it? - Lisa Dee

Guess we lost Jason a while ago, huh? - Lisa Dee

At least an hour ago... - Dennis Jernberg

http://www.twitter.com/firetow... is my twitter account but http://twitter.com/ethical... is where we will be tweeting about the project once it's going. - Mike Dammann

Dennis, do you know if these chats can be saved in FriendFeed so I can go back over later & follow peeps I want on twitter? - Lisa Dee

I told the faker to come join us - Rob Madden

Oh, wow! I wonder if he will, Rob! Too funny! - Lisa Dee

Hi Rob! @Danny_Divito here - Tanya

LOL - Tanya

Hi, @Danny! How are you tonight? Oh, Tanya - you had me going for a minute!! LOL - Lisa Dee

It would be interesting if the fake "DiVito" *did* join us... ;) - Dennis Jernberg

I'll let this committee decide my next fake DeVito tweet - goal is to get more Buzz for Mr. DeVito - Tanya

Tanya - I thought the real faker was a girl named Tanya! LOL - Lisa Dee

i do not work for him in any way - Tanya

Tanya - you mean fake fake DeVito, right? - Lisa Dee

yes - I am the fake DeVito - Tanya

ok let's come up with a next tweet for him - Mike Dammann

http://www.twitter.com/Danny_D... - Tanya

how do we know you are not pulling are leg. and pretending to be the faker - Rob Madden

have Danny ask if people like his website http://dannydevito.com/ - Mike Dammann

well come up with a good tweet - Tanya

and i'll post it - Tanya

Dammann - that is dumb - Tanya

yeah so someone come up with some better. ... - Mike Dammann

you are a URL squatter - Tanya

Ok, what would the REAL DeVito really say? Anybody? - Lisa Dee

that is more lame than a fake Twitter account - Tanya

what you are doing is wrong you know ppretending to be a celeb. - Rob Madden

yah, some may say that - Tanya

what is a url squatter? - Mike Dammann

thats why i reported your ass - Rob Madden

Twitter account allows parody - Tanya

fakers and i dont get along i get rid of a fake Teri Hatcher - Rob Madden

How about if he says something about his old show "Taxi", or a new one he's going to be on? - Lisa Dee

the real devito would start a quiz of some sort in regards to how he got his first gig - Mike Dammann

How about, "If you'll excuse me, I have to go move my *taxi* now." - something like that? - Lisa Dee

read Twitter policy rules - Tanya

i actually emailed their support too - Tanya

creative Lisa - Tanya

What WAS his first gig? Was it Taxi? - Lisa Dee

no - Mike Dammann

i'm sure it's on wikipedia or something - Tanya

Thanks. I tried. - Lisa Dee

Oh yeah, probably. - Lisa Dee

URL squatter is someone who buys a URL for a famous name - Tanya

why are we helping a faker - Rob Madden

he got hired when he walked into the ongoing rehearsal screaming "who wrote that shit" and got hired. - Mike Dammann

for the sole purposes of selling that URL to the celebrity - Tanya

Or how about "How do you spell my last name?" - Lisa Dee

hmmmm - Tanya

Oh, that's funny Mike! Fits his Taxi character perfectly!! - Lisa Dee

citation on that one? - Tanya

I've actually got two dead people following me: Robert Anton Wilson and Timothy Leary. I think Jesus is gone, though; he was following me for a while... - Dennis Jernberg

damned u all are still here!!!?? - LILCHICKENPOO

Dennis - Seriously? That's funny! Dead people on twitter! - Lisa Dee

According to legend, the actor walked into the audition, script in hand, and yelled, "Who wrote this shit?!" Jim Brooks hired him on the spot. - Mike Dammann

I like that legend! - Lisa Dee

Hey, if there's fake people on Twitter, why not dead people? - Dennis Jernberg

Well, I suppose - why not indeed! - Lisa Dee

I JUST GOT DONE CHASING A "NAKED DANNY DI VITO OUT OF MY HOUSE!" DUNNO WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR, BUT DAMNED HES FAST!!!!! LOL - LILCHICKENPOO

yeah now we have to come up with a great tweet around it and we're set - Mike Dammann

Hmmm, which dead person would I want following me on twitter? - Lisa Dee

I like that Dennis - Tanya

can I use that? - Tanya

or something like it? - Tanya

Ok, how about if he asks peeps "Why was I hired on the spot when I auditioned for Taxi? - Lisa Dee

i kind of don't want to ask a question - Tanya

i think a ridiculous statement is more his style - Tanya

funny.. and you have to RT me then - Tanya

Or if he just says "This is how I got the part in Taxi"...and he goes on to say why. - Lisa Dee

I'd RT that! I love it! - Lisa Dee

Dennis - approve? - Tanya

So that's what I learned tonight, Mike - how Danny DeVito got his part on Taxi! - Lisa Dee

haha - Mike Dammann

needs to be much shorter... - Tanya

I'm not rejecting. - Dennis Jernberg

Did Dennis fall asleep at the keyboard? - Lisa Dee

working to make shorter.... will post here first for your express approval - Tanya

"I follow dead people before following fakes, less walking for me" Danny - Mike Dammann

If you have to, make it 2 tweets - use ellipsis at the end, like this "Taxi..." and then start the next tweet with the ellipsis again: ...I just yelled (etc) - Lisa Dee

No, I'm still around. Just multitasking some. Right now I'm reading about fake Twitter accounts. ;) - Dennis Jernberg

I like that one, Mike! - Lisa Dee

:) - Mike Dammann

that is exactly his type of humor :) - Mike Dammann

Dennis - oh, I see. Think I'm gonna see what she ends up posting, and then call it a night. I have class tomorrow - late morning, though. - Lisa Dee

ok..lets figure this out in next 5 min - Tanya

That's a good one, too. - Dennis Jernberg

I take it you don't do mornings either, Dennis? - Lisa Dee

Not if I can help it. ;) - Dennis Jernberg

by the way who are you guys on twitter while we wait for dIvito? - Mike Dammann

Tanya - did you see my post on using more than one tweet with ellipsis? - Lisa Dee

Mike - I'm @LisaDee123 - Lisa Dee

SiPix to debut color e-paper next year? - http://www.engadget.com/2009...

SiPix (a division of our old friend AU Optronics) has announced that it will bring "a small number" of color e-ink displays to market by the end of 2010. Apparently, a breakthrough in thin-film-transistor panels has put the company on the fast-track to making this technology commercially viable. If so, it could beat rivals like PrimeView (the manufacturer of both the Kindle and Sony's Reader) to the punch by a year or two. "Making colored electronic paper displays is our top priority," said SiPix president Andrew Tseng. "We are in talks with customers to supply colored displays ... as [color] would encourage advertisers to place ads on [electronic] publications, which then would be able to provide more content [to readers] for free." While PrimeView is currently scrambling to buy up US-based E Ink, AU Optronics is scheduled to ship its first e-paper display modules to customers this quarter. The ball's in your court, Fujitsu.

Q2 from @retheauditors: Journalists as subject matter experts or subject matter experts as journalists. Are they equivalent? #editorchat

August 26 - Comment - Like - Share

Q2 Not hardly, as they say in the midwest. Writing is a skill not everyone has or has acquired. I'm always as impressed by the knowledge my clients display as by the bad writing. - Georganna Hancock

71 more comments

No, they're never equivalent. A subject matter expert could make a good columnist or blogger but terrible journalist. - Tim Beyers

Definitely not equivalent. One can be an expert on a subject but lack the skills to write a good story, the other may lack the expertise to write a good story. It's easier for a journalist to become an expert than for an expert to become a journalist. - matt lubin

Not equivalent in my opinion or experience. Subject matter experts usually require a solid edit process, and non-expert writers usually require a solid expert review. - Julie Pippert

Matt makes a great point. Expert in a subject doesn't mean you can express that in a given written format. - Annetta Ribken

There are exceptions, of course. We have some top-notch stock analysts at the Fool who write very well. - Tim Beyers

I'm curious to know who is expecting SMEs to be journalists? - Georganna Hancock

I think it's fairly common to have SMEs write an op ed, article or similar. We used them extensively for books. - Julie Pippert

Name any big publication starting a blog, Georganna. Every one of them is trying to build content brands around subject matter experts. Blogging made SMEs interesting. - Tim Beyers

I'll second that good writers at Motley Fool, Tim. - Julie Pippert

Tim--so you are lumping journalism, blogging and general writing all together? - Georganna Hancock

Absolutely not. Publishers are doing that, not me. - Tim Beyers

When worked for the local legal newspaper, we had a section written by legal experts. The legal editor spent a lot of time making most of those articles readable. There were some exceptions though. - matt lubin

The challenge I see is that many SMEs are amateurs -- when it comes to blogging anyway. I see publications taking their expertise and usually solid writing for free. I actually had a newspaper VIP tell me it was "doing these writers a favor by giving them a big megaphone." - Julie Pippert

>> I actually had a newspaper VIP tell me it was "doing these writers a favor by giving them a big megaphone." Ugh. Oh how I hate hearing that, but I fear that view is far too common. - Tim Beyers

Julie--amateurs as in amateur writers? I think journos are SMEs in journalism. But any SME may not be any kind of a good writer. - Georganna Hancock

He and I have a long-running public debate about compensation v. favors -- how they are not synonyms. - Julie Pippert

How long does a journalist have to write about a subject or industry to replace those he used to interview when it comes to giving his opinion? - Francine McKenna

Georganna, to clarify, amateur experts. Amateur parenting experts, amateur political analysts, amateur analysts, etc. many are quite quite good at the topic and more than a few are good writers. But it lacks the editorial process, and is generally uncompensated. So actually, yeah, i guess amateur all the way around lol. - Julie Pippert

Only long enough to learn all the buzz words, if he/she is always careful about facts. - Georganna Hancock

Sorry, Francine. I'm not exactly sure what you mean. As in: How long does it take an SME to become a journalist? - Tim Beyers

Francine, that might be the catch. I don't think a company would hire a journalist who covers a subject as an expert. - matt lubin

Francine, I think any responsible publication would hire a journalist or writer who knew enough to ask the right questions through well-established channels. You can be a channel or topical expert as a writer, but not per se a subject matter expert. - Julie Pippert

Julie, Then why do so many journalists write books and get interviewed as SMEs? - Francine McKenna

But Francine asked about "giving his opinion". I take that to also include "having the appearance of being an expert." - Georganna Hancock

Francine, I'm not sure they're interviewed as SMEs, but experts about the story they broke or are following. Analysts get quoted as SMEs. - Tim Beyers

And why do some SMEs write Op-Eds and magazine articles and get away with not following journalistic standards/ethics? I think lines are becoming blurred in the interest of exposure and it's not a good thing. - Francine McKenna

Francine, help me out -- do you have an example? Cokie Roberts, for example, sits there and discusses politics like the pro she is. But she has a unique view. Is talking about the environment and situation as an expert in the story the same thing as an actual SME? Not in my opinion, for what that's worth. - Julie Pippert

Opinions don't make an expert, no matter how much you may know about a subject. - Annetta Ribken

Francine, I'll agree about blurred lines. I see way too much sloppy reporting. Too many articles doing too much "he saids" and not enough investigation, too many articles re-reporting too quickly especially from blogs, and too many articles using a single source without fully revealing it. It makes for biased, incomplete and (worst of all) sometimes erroneous reporting. - Julie Pippert

"Opinions don't make an expert, no matter how much you may know about a subject." -- Agree, Netta. - Tim Beyers

This is a tough question, but I don't think the formal title and functions of a journalist are going to make a difference if the audience is captured and engaged. Also SME's often have something journalists don't: passion. - Charles

Tim: "A subject matter expert could make a good columnist or blogger but terrible journalist." Really? :) - Francine McKenna

We're neck-deep in semantics here, Journalists as subject matter experts or subject matter experts as journalists. - J. D. Ebberly

I've seen all kinds... and good and bad ones on all sides. A package contains a lot of variables. - Meryl K. Evans

(Grins.) I know you've seen that before, Francine -- especially among those covering the financial markets. - Tim Beyers

Charles makes a good point. But to me, journalism isn't about passion, it's about dependable and correct information. - Annetta Ribken

Another good thread, folks. Shall we continue here or does anyone want to pose a last question? Remember, it's open mic night here at #editorchat. - Tim Beyers

Here here Netta, dependability and accuracy are priorities - but having passion helps deliver - Lydia Dishman

Julie, Actually the question came up in a "debate" I had with Heidi Moore a couple of Saturdays ago about David Wessel's book about the Fed and some of the interviews I thought treated him like Alan Greenspan. As a "subject matter journalist/blogger" I had issues with that. - Francine McKenna

No karaoke for me! :) - Meryl K. Evans

Charles, true, but I write in a beat for which I have a strong, long-running passion. I can deconstruct and analyze like a pro, and I will. :) But I also know the value of quoting the actual expert. - Julie Pippert

The lines are very blurred. Some bloggers come up with more accurate information than journalists. There's sloppy work done on both sides. Due diligence has taken a hit in the race to be the first. - Annetta Ribken

Ahhhhh good example -- thanks Francine. I see and agree. - Julie Pippert

"Due diligence has taken a hit in the race to be the first." Amen to that. Couldn't agree more. - Tim Beyers

The other example, Tim, is Arthur Levitt, a SME, writing Op-Eds and not having to disclose conflicts. - Francine McKenna

Yes, Lydia, I totally agree. Delivery is important, but I think sometimes passion (in journalism, mind) can muddy the waters. I think that's where a lot of the confusion comes from between bloggers and journalists. Does accuracy suffer from too much passion? Sometimes. - Annetta Ribken

Francine, that is one of my SERIOUS pet peeves! Especially on the Internet whether an organization, blog, Web site, etc. - Julie Pippert

Well put it this way: news belongs to journalists but niche content belongs to SMEs - Charles

That's what I love about one of the pubs I write for -- they ask us not to mention the products that are their sponsors. If there's a need to mention one -- let them know. - Meryl K. Evans

Charles, well put. I think that's actually the convergence point at which due diligence suffers. Ironically. - Julie Pippert

Also, I think the act of reporting has changed. I see more news analysis now than ever before. - Tim Beyers

Many SMEs are acting as pseudo journalists in the business world, writing articles /columns for magazines and newspapers and Op-Eds. I consider myself a SME who does freelance journalism with my blog and for hire. - Francine McKenna

Yes, Julie -- qualitative standards are and always will be the top imperative - Charles

Meryl, I signed that Integrity Pledge and then second-guessed myself. Yes, I have corporate "sponsors" sometimes, but I've always made it clear and carefully managed to clear any conflict hurdles. - Julie Pippert

Julie, I agree an editorial process and compensation add to professionalism. I seek both. - Francine McKenna

Julie, the blog w/integrity pledge? - Becky

I'm with you, Francine. As a Fool, I'm writing as an SME -- an investor offering opinion and analysis to other investors. But in practice and as a career, I'm a freelance writer who invests. - Tim Beyers

Anyone can set up a blog and declare themselves an expert. If they're savvy about marketing, they can drive traffic and that gives the appearance of credibility. There are no standards, and that's a problem. - Annetta Ribken

Francine, cool, and I'm the opposite. :) SMEs are my clients and I do their writing for them. - Julie Pippert

Yes, that one, Becky. I don't know if you read my "whore" post about it. - Julie Pippert

That's the problem with most blogs these days -- no standards or editorial infrastructure - Charles

At least at the group blogs where I write, we do have a process and standards. At the political one, I answer to lawyers. - Julie Pippert

Update: In two minutes we'll open it back up to reintros. You can post a link at that time if you'd like. - Tim Beyers

Yes, Julie, I read it. Can't remember now if I commented, tho I think I did. - Becky

Standards are great, but I don't think a freebie badge will cut it, tho the sentiment behind it is great. - Becky

You're right, Julie. Most important of all is that bloggers know (as journalists do) that there is always the potential to be sued for whatever you publish. That's pretty much it. - Becky

Great to meet someone with high integrity, Julie. Thanks for some great insight. - Meryl K. Evans

Time for reintros. Scroll to the top to tell us who you are and give us a link to follow. - Tim Beyers

Well, I declared myself as someone with integrity, anyway lol. That's the base question, isn't it: can readers read critically and skeptically and identify integrity, or do too many buy it all without question? Is it seller beware or buyer beware? - Julie Pippert

Julie, I have a friend who does the same for accounting/audit partners who can't write. I'm a Gemini so I can do more than one thing. Ask me on any given day and I will tell you what those are. :) - Francine McKenna

Love that, Francine! - Julie Pippert

Tim, My discussion with @moorehn was about journalists who write books and then are treated as SMEs on the topic, interviewed as such because they write a book. I see it a lot in finance and economics and with the frauds/scandals. - Francine McKenna

fine, i'll bite - MG Siegler

I know I'm around here somewhere - Brian

I'm just not that engaging. - Leo Laporte

Go Sarah! :) - Adrian

but I'm not a subscriber :) You can't really know, because as people comment this entry, all their followers get the "friend of a friend" item in their feed. Go figure who among those participants are subscribed to you. - Jérôme Flipo

ping - Alexander Kohlhofer

Oh, great, Jerome. Way to screw up the project! ;) - Sarah Lane

I subscribe. I'm located in So. Cal. - Ivan

I'm real! - Justin Rains

/wave - Devin Baines

I don't subscribe to you, but one of my friends does and commented. that seems like it breaks the counting here - Marshall Kirkpatrick

Sarah: have you checked out http://www.feedstats.info/sarahla... - it gives you some great stats on your activity. - Mike Bracco

Everyone else subscribes to you, so I don't have to. Nice of all these fine folks, innit? - Justin Whitaker

Sarrita - You do realize you're going to pull more than just your subscribers right? We're blasting this out to all our friends of friends too. - Matthew DeVries

Feedstats is pretty cool. I dig it. - Otto

No comment - Christian (Simply X) from Android

I <3 U, Sarah Lane. - Dave Friedel

I have to admit, it's pretty fun to watch you guys comment in real-time. Good thing I have nothing else to do all day. Matthew DeV- yeah, I know, not a perfect system. I guess my point is that FF sub numbers are misleading, there are a lot of DOA accounts!! - Sarah Lane

Loved you on AOTS1000. How was the Chalula? - GMar

present and accounted for - Patrick Janidlo

Hello Sara. Love listening to you on the TWiT network. - Richard

Hello, Sarah. - Christopher A Carr

90% of people who subscribe to me on FF are neither bots nor marketing arseholes, which sure isn't the case on Twitter. - Christopher A Carr

If a FriendFeeder posts on a feed and no one reads it is it still a post? - Adam Turetzky

So you will double your subscribers most likely thru friends of friends - I'm in for sure - Nicholas Paul Gordon from iPhone

Dunno... should we ignore you and see... lol j/k Kevin - Kevin from email

Could this be another "True or Poo"? ;) j/k How's it going Sarah? - John Blanton

Sarah - Can this somehow reach Martin c/o Sarah? http://www.stagetwoconsulting.com/wordpre... (actually I found out about it from Veronica's feed) - Matthew DeVries

I feel Marty thinks TWiF is getting to be a real pain in the butt. Maybe you could all convince Leo to move it to San Fran? I'm sure he'd get even better guests/hosts to move to a 24/7 format...? - Jude

Hello Sarah. I think yours was the first feed I subscribed to when I joined FF. - Thomas

just so we're clear on this... i'm not commenting because you asked... i'm commenting because i want to - Chris Heath

FFundercats: Diggnation minus the cult of personality? - Daniel J. Pritchett

Only if you've used the internet for more than 8 minutes in the last decade. - Matthew DeVries

twif rocks, U & sargent are halarious. ive been watching since techTv days. Martin's cadillac RIP - echostreamer

all I know is this woman has issues that people are following her... and I wasn't following her till she had issues. what a paradox! ....wait a minute... she sounds like a feminist! - Noah David Simon

If that's all you know, then that's all you read, but there's more to know and you've just decided not to assimilate it. Say Luh Vee. - Matthew DeVries

I'm not in your stream, your not in my stream, and still everything is lively. - Amit Morson

I am not a subscriber, nor do I have any idea what your normal content is like, but I can imagine that some percentage of your subscribers did so purely because your avatar is an attractive woman (and you have a females name). I'm not saying this to belittle your contributions; just sharing an observation of male behavior. -- huh, I just went and looked at your profile (I had never heard of you). I'll add your celebrity status as another reason people might follow without planning on engaging. - Bill Rawlinson

Hi - Alan Le

Hello. I'm not a subscriber, but since someone I follow commented, I felt the need to say "Hi" too. Hello from Washington, DC. The only times I comment on FriendFeed are: 1) it's funny, 2) it's about dogs, 3) it's about cutting-edge tech. Since you called out the "lurkers" on FF, I'm here. ;) - Ken & Kiyomi

It's a small world... ;) - Tyson Key

Whew! Just catching up on all your lovely comments. Thanks everyone! Now, we're only missing about 4,600 folks. Send out the search party! Kidding, kidding.... I was just really curious as to who was actually around and paying attention. >^__^< <----- my first ASCII cat ever - Sarah Lane

Hi Sarah. Like you on net@night. Cheers! - Ken Morley

..and now you have more subscribers. - rob

Thomas, http://friendfeed.com/sarahla... or http://friendfeed.com/sarahla... will have comment boxes at the bottom always so you don't even need to click - opening the entry/item in it's own window is the key (clicking the timestamp like josh haley said will do that) then if you want the clean embed version you just add ?embed=1 to the url, or click the timestamp again - it's that simple - Chris Heath

The only way to follow someone is if you follow fewer than 5,061 'people' - Terris Linenbach

Don't drink coffee, but, if I did, I probably would drink it without food. - Justin Korn from iPhone

Almost always w/o food. - Michelle Martinez

I'm like you, most of the time I don't eat anything with my coffee. It's basically something I have after I've eaten. - Paul

Almost always without food (unless it's a dessert in a restaurant). More importantly, I DO NOT dunk stuff in my coffee: the crumbs left behind are nauseating in texture. If I am eating something like a doughnut or cookie, I'll take a bite and then have a swig of coffee. NEVER DUNK. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I drink free black coffee with no food. I mean, I'm not against a starbucks with a biscotti, but it's rare for me. - Daniel J. Pritchett

Coffee is like water, but caffeinated and with flavour; you do not need food to quench a thirst. - Michael W. May

I don't drink coffee at all, is that weird? I drink lots of water though. - Will Higgins™

I'm glad I'm not alone (no Will, it's not weird you don't drink coffee), I find if I eat while drinking coffee, then I'll only have one cup. On crappy coffee days, that's not a bad thing but when the coffee is yummy, I kind of want to savor it. - Admiral Anika

Not really. I have a granola bar in the morning while the coffee is brewing. I usually drink it at work w/o food, but I do sometimes have a donut with coffee. - Alan Simpson

I have to drink coffee (or tea) with food, or I get nasty acid tummy. Luckily, I can drink most sodas solo. - Jennifer Dittrich

Hardly ever drink coffee...maybe a latte once a year; use it in cooking, usually chocolate desserts to enhance flavor fairly often. - Derrick

Sure. All the time. *sips* - MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS

Yes, but when I can, I like to dunk a biscotti into my coffee and eat it that way before actually drinking my coffee. It gets little biscotti crumbs in my coffee, but I don't care. :) - Cheryl Jones

Yes, most definitely. I have coffee first thing, black and alone. - edythe from iPhone

Always. - Steven Perez from Android

A great majority of the time. - Matthew DeVries

I do both. My first cup is usually by itself, but subsequent ones may be accompanied by food. Sometimes I'll have coffee with lunch or dinner, depending on what I'm eating. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

I think dunking pastries/cookies into coffee is a Filipino cultural thing (not just Filipino, but I know Filipinos do this). I know my dad told me that at breakfast time, they would often dunk biscuits or bread into coffee... - Cheryl Jones

On weekdays. On weekends, I eat food with my coffee. - Kevin Pedraja

I often drink my coffee with just coffee. - ha3rvey (Ho)^3

I either have my coffee after a meal or all by itself, unless I'm somewhere I can get an Apple Cinnamon Muffin. <Drools on thoughts of the Muffin> - Parth Awasthi

Just the coffee most of the time. - David Cook

Coffee & Donuts ROCK - J. D. Ebberly

Is anyone else thinking of that line from the film Airplane? - Heather

what a strange, interesting idea, eating, hmmm - chaz2b

Yeah, I have coffee without food. What, you have to have it with food? - Rick Cogley

Usually - Hutch Carpenter

Rarely with a meal. Afterwards or with a pastry or cake. - Kate Foy

Coffee/tea + pastry/bagel/toast/breakfastsandwich + fruit/juice [optional] = BREAKFAST - Adrian

I drank two cups this mornign without food and got a bad stomach ache. Most days I do one, and I'm fine until lunch. - mike fabio

Adapt or Die - J. D. Ebberly

Penny, (and Louis) - It is really interesting to see the many different directions this can go. For example, there are so many people who must be flexible and develop the ability to adapt because of health issues.

"An American College of Sports Medicine study from 2004, for example, measured the calories burned running and walking over 1600 meters (around a mile) on a treadmill for 12 men and 12 women. The average calories the men burned running was 124 and 88 calories burned walking. The women burned 105 and 74 calories respectively. That's a 30 percent difference. (The men burned more because they weighed more.) However, running doesn't always burn more calories than walking, and once again, this has to do with efficiency of movement. If you jog at a slow, barely-pick-up-your-feet pace, you'll burn a respectable 8 calories per minute -- but walking at a pace that is so speedy you have to wiggle your hips and swing your arms madly to keep yourself from breaking into a run can burn a massive 15 calories per minute. The so called "cross over" or "gray zone" pace, where walking becomes very strenuous, occurs somewhere at around 4 to 5 miles per hour for most people. So in other words, a 150-pound... more... - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

Also a matter of what you'll do. If I walk a mile a day while doing my daily errands, I'll be much more likely to stick to doing it every day than if I force myself to run for 20 minutes. Researchers are obsessed with efficiency, not compliance. - Wirehead

Definitely a quality vs. quantity argument. Going fast and hard only works if you go you fast and hard repeatedly. Slow and steady still wins the race. It's about consistency, I guess :) - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

I routinely walk at 4.3 mph. Fast walking for me is about 5 mph. - J. D. Ebberly

At a Stanford run/walk, one of the signs said that for every minute you spend running, you gain two minutes of life. NO idea if this is true. Anyone?

"walking at a pace that is so speedy you have to wiggle your hips and swing your arms madly to keep yourself from breaking into a run can burn a massive 15 calories per minute" - that reminds me of the Olympic speed-walking events, like in that Comcast commercial a couple years back: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Bryan Zirkel

Well, to be fair to Jim Fixx, he did live 10 years longer than his dad. Every study I've seen seems to indicate that at least a moderate amount of exercise is better for your lifespan than none. - Wirehead

Very interesting reading. Thanks for sharing! - Rutger Blom from email

IMHO, trying to count calories and then work out calorie burn is just asking for a brainache. Much easier to say "I gained 1 pound last week, therefore I am eating 500 calories too many". - Wirehead

So today I ran 7 miles burnt 850 calories and walked 2 miles! Best of both worlds... - orionstarr

1. It's substanceless. It's impossible to say anything of real value within 140 characters. Why do you think so many people are using it to share links instead of their own personal insight? Because no one can make a substantial point using three word sentences! - Brad Williamson

72 more comments

2. It's turning into MySpace. Ya know how back in the day so many people wanted to inflate the amount of friends they have so they could be PERCEIVED as being popular? Well that's happening on Twitter right now. Unless you or your entity is a public figure, there's no way all those followers are listening to you. As a regular Twitter user who isn't any type of well-known thought leader,... more... - Brad Williamson

3. Here's how a Twitter conversation unfolds: 1. I write a Tweet (I hate saying that word). 2. Moments later, a person replies to that Tweet as best they can in 140 characters. 3. Because I haven't been on Twitter in a couple hours, I finally see their response and do my best to reply to them in 140 characters. 4. Hours later, my response is seen and replied to. ...This delayed... more... - Brad Williamson

4. All the hype is causing mainstream news organizations to OVERUSE the platform. Valuable on-air time is being used to either see what Twitterers are saying (in 140 characters, NOT MUCH) about an issue, or they're asking us to follow them during time on segments when they're supposed to be reporting news. - Brad Williamson

5. Public figures are starting to believe that all it takes to be considered someone who is "fan friendly" is to write, or for their assistants to write, quick little tweets. As a fan of certain celebrity Twitterers, I find it to be insulting that they think they can satisfy my hunger to gain deeper insight into their lives with this lazy approach to fan "engagement." - Brad Williamson

I use twitter primarily to converse on hot trending topics :) - Swaroop

I'll post more of my beef with with Twitter in a bit. In the meantime, let's hear some well thought out reasons why Twitter is awful so that those who love the platform can feel a frenzy to argue back ;-) - Brad Williamson

@Swaroop Do you feel like you can express comprehensive thoughts on trending topics within your limited character space? - Brad Williamson

Twitter is/was/will be a big success owing to fact that people don't have time to blog (I know some ppl still manage to pull this off), but most of them would just like to dump their quick thoughts onto a platform easily reachable. - Swaroop

@Brad: Agree to the fact that expressing a huge belief couldn't be done in 140 chars, but that's where we have conversations (Reply to a tweet) right ? For scattered conversations - I am still able to successfully stay in loop/touch with the trends & friends - Swaroop

@Swaroop Why wouldn't you use Facebook, or any other social media platform that allows you to breath a little, to share yourself with friends and family? - Brad Williamson

It is changing as do all children as they grow up. So far, I still like it. :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

I don't feel like I can have a conversation on twitter without threads - Ryan

@Brad: I'm using Facebook - But it's too personal for scattered thoughts. Sometimes strangers are better judges for random crazy ideas/or when some work related help (some technical prob). Plus I do have the twitter app repeating the tweets back in Facebook for those one or two friends who don't tweet. - Swaroop

@Brad: Like your image on Blue "ugly" duckling *ahem* bird - Swaroop

@Matthew Besides the Trending Topics (which has just tuned into a "FOLLOW ME!!" soapbox) and a few other little improvements, I personally don't think it's evolved that much. To me, it's still a constrained conversation prison (I wonder if that made any sense ;-) - Brad Williamson

@Swaroop HAHA! Yeah, when I saw that pic, I knew it would be perfect for this conversation ;-) - Brad Williamson

I like it for what it is and if Twitter expands options that will be a good thing. This site 'Friendfeed' offers more options for expression--I like that feature also, even better, I like the cc feature to Twitter. All social sites will eventually, I think, become an octopus like entity with many arms linked to one another in clouds. - Johnice Reid

Full of 'celebs' - Kevin J Hatton

@Johnice I think we all can agree that FriendFeed is the king of of the real-time ring. - Brad Williamson

6. Using Twitter often forces you to have to say out loud the word "Tweet." I swear, if that word is ever included in the dictionary in the coming years, I'm gonna lose all respect for the English language. - Brad Williamson

7. The suggested users list represents a desperate attempt to encourage people to become engaged in the site. Not only will those suggested users never reply to anything you say to them, but it's likely that you won't be a fan of any of them in the first place. - Brad Williamson

8. The Trending Topics feature has already become a spam machine. Sure, some people leave relevant comments within these topics, but, for the most part, it's just used as a place to get new people to follow them. - Brad Williamson

It is Schrodinger's birdy I think of it as a quantum communication. I am speaking to everyone and no one at the same time. - Robert Higgins

9. It's hogging all the hype that FriendFeed deserves. - Brad Williamson

@LLL Your experience of FriendFeed would be much more enjoyable if you wouldn't privatize your feed. I'm just sayin' ;-) - Brad Williamson

10. It's sad how many people say that traditional blogging is dead and Twitter is the future. How can constrained commentary and conversation trump a platform that is limitless in function? With such a philosophy it would seem like our culture is doing everything it can to embrace a dumbed-down appreciation of ideas and information. Twitter's current popularity gives it the influence to... more... - Brad Williamson

Twitter sucks because it won't auto-refresh on the Nokia N800 :) (via http://ff.im/53bCT) - George Dearing

Twitter is on the bottom of a very large trend, it will be as ubiquitous as email. But yeah Brad they will have to replace wikipedia with twikipedia. Explain the 10th Convention of the Parties on Biodiversity in 140 characters. - Robert Higgins

Brad -- permit me to voice a contrarian opinion on Twitter. :) I think it is currently the world's premier news distribution system. I used to share your views on Twitter until I realized that tweets can point to documents of any type or size, including long articles, books, dissertations, movies, etc. -- one click and you are on the full document. Now I use Twitter to track the latest news from dozens of high-quality news sources. For discussions, I use Friendfeed mostly. - Sean McBride

An appalling lack of features and reliability - LANjackal

Spam. - Will Higgins™

Good article Brad. I think you make some very good points. - Kevin J Hatton

The lack of features is really the only thing that bugs me. I can't believe a company with as much venture capital as they have and as huge of a userbase hasn't managed to innovate.... at all. I still use Twitter religiously, as that's where the majority of my friends and connections are, but I really wish they'd fix some things. - mike fabio

Peoplebrowsr is overflowing with features for managing Twitter. - Sean McBride

I agree with Sean. I use it to track news from various sources as well as the thoughts of others. I post quick links to things from the web that I want to share, but if I have an opinion to share in the form of a longer-form response to something, I'll blog that, then usually post a link to it on Twitter. I'm new to FriendFeed and still trying to figure out how to fit it into my flow, but i like its ability to do much of what Twitter does without the 140char limit. - Kevin Arth

It's easier to just crosspost tweets to something with more features like Facebook. That way if someone has a follow up they can put it there instead. Other than that it's mostly a glorified mailing list, though I think Dane Cook proved to us that even that has some use. - Ben Blackford

Twitter will peak in 2009. - Patrick Breitenbach

Who wants to read about what strangers are eating for dinner without at least seeing pictures of the food? - Amy℠

Twitter may be awful but guess what? I tried to get people to come to Friendfeed and they didn't. So it's what we live with. - Morton Fox

I love twitter because it allows me to use it exactly how I want to. Follow and unfollow and block allow spam to effect me very little. IF you are autofollowing and auto dming then spam will ruin it for you and in fact... you are spam. Its only awful if you let it be awful. it is awful as a ongoing conversation tool, but not what it was built to be I dont think. A baseball bat is a... more... - Cody Heitschmidt

One of the ways in which it is awful is that you cannot have a discussion like this. When public search worked properly you could follow conversations there but that part of the Twitter experience is broken for me and many others; which leads me to a second way it is awful - the apparent unresponsiveness of Twitter in addressing the search problem, but I am going to comment on that in tollie williams' Twitter search question. - Phil Harrison

I hate that historical posts have no real use. After 10 to 20 posts no one cares about what was posted before that. Plus the search is crappy. - tomit from iPhone

What about ways in which it is not crappy. For me It has been an excellent introduction to new people (globally) and mediums (such as friendfeed). I have made new friends and acquaintances that I enjoy communicating with and yes a few of them are famous people who really do try to communicate and they have my admiration for that. Now that I have been introduced to friendfeed, however, Twitters' flaws are more and more apparent. - Phil Harrison

discussion on Twitter is strongly constricted by the (in)famous 140 char limits. I tends to look with interest to new experiments like Qaiku, where there is a true conversation model, where replies are not conditioned by length... - Marco Castellani

i like twitter - Bill Rawlinson

I like Twitter, but the Visigoths have definitely stormed the gates with spam posts, links to their own blogs, zero conversation, and WAY too many hashtags. In short, it isn't Twitter that sucks - it's we users who suck. - Ciaoenrico

When you get dropped off the Twitter search, your Twitter life is effectively over. I have been dropped off the Twitter search since June 10, and I have a broken heart that shall never mend.

When you get dropped off... more... - J. D. Ebberly

Same thing happened to me buddy. Apparently once you get dropped off Twitter Search, it's permanent - LANjackal from IM

Great points 1-10 Brad! I would only add that twitter search sux (for more than this dropping issue that JD and LANj are talking about) because it only goes back in time a short period of time. I do find twitter useful but wish everyone was on ff instead... that would be more useful. :-) - Chris Heath

Twitter is like a food you really don't like, so you just don't eat it. 140 characters limits creativity but if you can't get a point across within those limits your language skills are lacking or you are using the wrong medium to make your point. Plenty of people do get Twitter and use it creatively. If it's not for you, stay away. No-one is insisting you use it. - Gilbert Harding

I don't really think the spam criticism is fair. If FriendFeed had the same amount of users as Twitter then there would be the same amount of spam. Also, if people are spamming you just unfollow them. The only real problem is the spam in the trending topics. Personally, I love Twitter and FriendFeed. I don't mind using both. - Shawn Hickman

Don't really like twitter, but I agree. Spam on the network is very easy to avoid unless you're automatically following everyone who follows you, which is just plain stupid IMO - LANjackal from IM

WOW. Thanks for the list of Twitterers who are worth following. But I gotta strike back with a counter point... Instead of Twitter, why not use an RSS reader to filter through their latest content, where you can read the entire headline as well as the article's by-line? - Brad Williamson

Brad -- actually, I am experimenting on a regular basis with using Google Reader, Feedly, Friendfeed and Peoplebrowsr as front ends for browsing and managing Twitter feeds.

Also, I have noticed that as a rule 140 characters provide more than enough space for the artful... more... - Sean McBride

Twitter = Divas, Wanabe Divas, People on Prozak and Spammers! There are a few nice people there, but it is really hard to have a conversation!

Twitter = some of the best news sources and minds on the planet. Twitter is only as good as the feeds you choose to follow. - Sean McBride

You people have an awful lot to say about something you dislike. No one is forcing you to use Twitter. No one will resent you if you leave. - Tal Shafik

@Sean, so Twitter is for broadcasting, if you have a following. Twitter is not for dialogue! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Actually it's far more useful to me the more people that are on it. But is least interesting in feeds from self appointed A listers. I avoid those and all is good. - Cole Jolley

Igor -- yes: Twitter is primarily a *broadcasting* medium, and nearly useless as a discussion medium. Friendfeed is probably the world's premier discussion medium. Friendfeed could easily match Twitter as a broadcasting medium simply by providing the option to hide all comments under a list view interface (with one click to open the discussions). - Sean McBride

Sivan Mozes hahahah... that is so true. It's like Friendfeed users need to constantly remind and assure themselves they did the right thing leaving Twitter - Andre P. Siregar

we didn't leave twitter.. twitter left us. - joking aside though i don't think there's many ff users who don't have a twitter account maybe 10%... maybe (if i had to guess) - Chris Heath

Already said my piece, in long form, here: http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009... - Uche Ogbuji

Nice article, Uche! - Brad Williamson

I think the market is big enough for facebook, twitter and friendfeed. Google wave will only strengthen twitter further with its extension Twave. Twitter has all the high profile people in it.. celebs, technologists, u name it.Twitter has its identity as a microblogging social network, Friendfeed has its identity as an aggregator with microbloggin features.Both hav their place. I think most will shift their base to facebook from twitter once facebook unveals the "everyone button"... - Gtp19

there is not many desktop and phone clients for friendfeed.. any social network is nothing without its users.. i think more the people get to know about and use twitter, there is much of a chance for them to use friendfeed. - Gtp19

Brad, point #10 is the most relevant in my opinion. Despite illusions to the contrary, our culture has been barreling down the "dumbed down" path for quite some time. I hate to think what the future will hold if we continue this pattern. - John
