- Shevonne
That one always makes me laugh - I'm not that big of a quote person, but Samuel Johnson's is pretty deep. If you think about it, a person who treats someone well who can do nothing for him is usually caring, aware, cultured, secure, and an overall good person. Oh! I also like Yoda's "Do or do not. There is no try." That one's pretty deep too.
- Mona Nomura
Very true! Yes! Yoda's quote comes in handy with those victim wannabes.

I've been noticing a recurring thought on FriendFeed about seeing the of the same group of people over and over again. My question is: Would you rather see the conventional A-listers "running tings" here or a bunch of us no-listers?

I don't see the conventional A-listers running things here...which is why I'm here.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Are you referring to those "who should I sub to" posts? Speaking to that, the same clique participates in those for the most part and all suggest one another. My favorites here never make those lists. I think we're all capable of making our own decisions. We don't all have the same interests or reasons for being here.
- Anika
Anika, who are your favorites and why don't you add them to the lists? BTW sorry for not listing you...so hard to remember everyone that you follow and participate with, not that that's much of an excuse.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
The conventional A-Listers are far from running tings 'round here.
- Carlos Ayala
on an aside, how do you subscribe to 11.6K people? am I missing an easy method to do it besides clicking on a person one-by-one?
- grant fox
Well Scoble has been on FF for a while, plus one day he sat down and invited everyone to sub to him and he subbed back
- Shey
I come to social networking sites because the information in aggregate is unbiased. if I start conforming to lists and filter out people due to popularity, I skew the information. Granted, some of you 'A-Listers' tend to ring my bell more than most.
- grant fox
thanks Nicholas!
- grant fox
I'd rather see everyone run things. I'm too busy to have that put on my shoulders.
- Robert Scoble
Grant: I subscribed to each one one-by-one, except for the 7,000 who were automatically added because I already followed them on Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
Eventually with things like "Subscribe Sunday", and other rooms you discover, us no-listers will get more "known" but as long as we provide value and participate things should work out in the end because of our pure intentions.
- Amani
Amani: you're right. The ones who bring unique content in here AND participate get noticed, er, "liked."
- Robert Scoble
I agree with @Trish R - let us use how we want.
- Thom Allen
+1 Trish -- I meant "running tings" in terms of popularity -- not in terms of telling people how to use the services

- Amani
Trish: we have decentralized moderation here on friendfeed. On this post, for instance, Shey can delete my comments. So there's social pressure on me to behave in a way that will keep Shey happy. Same thing on my posts. This is why friendfeed is pretty resistant to spam and assholes.

- Shey
I think the A-list thing is BS & and kind of offensive when i comes to FriendFeed (aside from Scoble & Hawk who participate), if you're looking for a stream of A-Listers subscribe to their RSS from their Blogs, re: Friendfeed though, it is qualitatively different as its main appeal and structure is built around active participation through comments and shares,

Dobromir Hadzhiev is one of my A-listers for sure. Still trying to figure out a way to clone him and get 2x more signal
- Shey
What's an A-lister? I mean I know the biggies that are huge in tech and everyone seems to know their names, a la Kevin Rose, Arrington, etc. I consider myself someone who reads people's posts, contributes to others, and posts things that I find interesting. Again, I reiterate, it's one thing to *talk* about social media and what it can do, it's another to just *use* it.

True, Rob, but the likelihood is much higher that they'll have heard of the town or street of Scoble vs the brothers in America who are on friendfeed.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I agree... ;o)

LOL@Shevonne. I'm talking strictly online. If we take real life into the equation, even the most popular A-Listers are pretty much unknown.
- Rah-PM 2012
Robert: I'm glad you feel that way (A-Listers) about the people you follow. It's a very good way of looking at the people you interact with. If they weren't important in their own right, why bother following them around on the internet?

...you become an A-lister on any service by contributing, by participating in conversations, and by helping build a community around the service: by answering newbies' questions, writing FAQs and tips about the service,etc--helping. You become an A-lister outside of the service by connecting in real-life with people who are doing notable and newsworthy things in various fields. As I recall, he was just another blogger, but it wasn't until Scoble connected with Dave Winer that he picked up A-List momentum...

"San Francisco, CA – Twitter co-founder and CEO Evan Williams today announced part of the company's long-awaited business model: Twitter Premium accounts. TwitterTwitter has experienced phenomenal growth since its inception, but up until now it has remained a mystery what it would do to generate income. Many have speculated that premium accounts would be one way, and now that has been confirmed. Williams explained, "Celebrities and large corporations have begun flocking to Twitter for their social media needs, and growth has accelerated. Many users have expressed willingness to pay for accounts, and now we give them that opportunity." Williams stressed that free accounts will still be available to all users, and that only those wanting more services would pay. Premium accounts will come in four tiers: Sparrow, Dove, Owl and Eagle."

- Neal "thePuck" Jansons
Andrew do they have an API like FriendFeed?
- Dave Winer
There is no possible way Facebook can replace FriendFeed. The primary reason for this is that they are two different things. For instance, you don't even have a profile page here on FriendFeed and on Facebook, you can only "follow" people who let you. I don't even think you can interact with people outside of your circle. I would also agree that FB is a little too heavy and complicated for what I do here on FF.
- Rah-PM 2012
Andrew: FB is a different animal. It has 500+ employees. FF has, what, 13? FB has 120+ million users. FF has a few hundred thousand. But, the quality of conversations is much better here and there are no walls to this garden (Google can search it) and there are no stupid rules and no arbitrary limits to how many friends you can have. But, you will find me in both places.

@Robert and @Dave I agree on the shortcomings of FB. Though FB seems to be evolving. The biggest difference for me, is the subject matter of the posts - they are much more newsworthy here as @alex stated. FB is much more social talk. But that has been changing; The FB iphone app separates out the personal from the news and more and more people seem to be posting news links.

- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
While I admit that my usage on Facebook has increased heavily recently, I think of Facebook as a tool for a more personal relationship, but there is little way of gaining new friends. With FriendFeed, it is easy to find new people with interests and hold discussions. I think as long as FriendFeed can excel in providing discussion, it will be hard to have an equal.

- Susan Beebe
friendfeed has a better feature set for discussion on activity, but for now Facebook has the users. I find I spend much more time on Facebook because most of my contacts use it, only a few people I know in real life use FF now.

There was news last week regarding Twitter possibly turning down around half a billion dollars from Facebook (though granted, mostly stock).

When did FlickrFan get a FriendFeed account? Cool photos on this account. I wish it would batch them up six at a time, though. Would make it more likely that I'd click "Like" and share these with my followers.
- Robert Scoble
For those who don't know, FlickrFan is a software service that Dave wrote that subscribes to great photography from many of the world's photo agencies. This one came from Agence France-Presse, which is France's "Associated Press." Good stuff and photography that you can't easily find elsewhere (high res stuff too).
- Robert Scoble
FlickrFan is cool! I've subscribed it!
- Jansen Lu
Scoble, I just created the account a couple of days ago. This is a special feed for breaking stories. Today the obvious story is India and the pictures have been fantastic. At times there may not be a breaking story so there won't be updates to the feed. It's all experimental, I'm starting with FF because it does a reasonable (but not perfect) job with feeds. I don't know where it leads, that's why it's fun. :-)
- Dave Winer
I already love this a LOT more than the FlickrFan on my HDTV. I think it's because I can quickly scan images and see some metadata around the image. I also can see how other people reacted to it, or add my own thoughts that an image conjures. That said, this makes me want to turn on FlickrFan on my large screen again and see these images in all of their high resolution glory.
- Robert Scoble
I also think it's funny that FlickrFan is subscribed to me. Hmmm, what is FlickrFan learning by doing that? :-)
- Robert Scoble
I know what you mean by batching them up 6 at a time, but I don't think that's something I can do. I think they have special code in there for Flickr. Not sure.
- Dave Winer
FlickrFan subscribed to you to get you to notice it. :-)
- Dave Winer
Dave: that's not how FriendFeed works. The reason I saw it is you clicked "Like" on the photo. That put it in my view. Followers don't have any effect on my view. That's why I say it's far more important to pick who you are following (because smart people will put smart things in your view) than it is to have lots of followers. Plus, if you keep saying smart things and putting smart things in other people's view, you'll get more followers anyway cause we'll talk about you. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Now what would be cool is if FlickrFan was watching the cool photography I was adding to my feed and would add some of that to FlickrFan itself. For instance, let's say I or Thomas Hawk put up a photo and it got 10 likes here. Wouldn't that be cool to add to FlickrFan? I thought that's why you were following people who put up photos on a regular basis.
- Robert Scoble
Scoble, those things sound doable. I'll add it to the mix of stuff to think about for the next few days.

Ugh, I can't imagine I couldn't live without rather than go through that.

@Shey.I'll research and review online, and if it's something I really need to see 'in the flesh' I'll go to a local store that I know stocks it, and go straight and look at it. If they can give me a cheaper price than online, it's a sale. Otherwise I go back home and order it from the web. Most stuff doesn't need to be looked at though, I'm thinking of say, monitors, hi-fi, and cameras where you need to see/hear it first.

Same here Ian - I do that with almost everything

@possible I'm glad I didn't come down like I was planning earlier this year

I used to be able to do grocery shopping online, and that actually saved money. How? Well you could see the total mounting up at the bottom of the screen as you added items. It was a great incentive to 'put stuff back'. You could build your list as you remembered stuff, and then place the order when you were ready. It was worth the small charge for the time you saved going to/from the supermarket. It worked well for us.

@Ian Grocery Gateway is the only real option we have to buy groceries online, but they are real expensive. The only good thing is that you save the time getting it delivered to you. There is some real value in that
- Shey
Ian, that's why I love the grocery store I use here. I scan (and bag) my groceries as I go through the store. There's a running total on the scanner so you always know where you stand on the budget.

that's awesome, but won't make me hate shopping any less

This was in the UK. The price was the same as the regular in store price, and there was a £5 charge for the service. Considering the time to do it yourself in the store, including travelling there and back, and the gas (which is about $9 a gallon there), it was £5 well spent, but you really needed to get a decent sized list built up first. They offered a two-hour delivery window between about 8am and 10pm.

MeetInBetween.us is the solution we've all been waiting for! Use it to plan anything with people who don't live near each other. Get started by entering addresses on the home page and then find a place to meet! From lunch with a friend to a scattered group of people, MeetInBetween.us will keep you from driving all the way out there!

So, I'm at work. My boss isn't here, but he's showing as available on GTalk. I can't help but wonder if I should go home.

I don't know... I know that we have Friday off: I asked "Hey, do we have Friday off?" and he thought for a second and said "Sure, why not?" (one of the perks of working at a small place!). But today was not discussed, and I'm pretty sure when he left yesterday he said "See you tomorrow"... If he weren't showing as online I'd be concerned.

All's well, he just walked in.

V, we're in a somewhat odd situation. There's only the two of us, and our office space and utilities are provided by a client in exchange for us providing their tech support. We have to be onsite to some extent in order to provide that support. Moreover, that agreement is setup in a contract, so if we were to work from home we would still have to provide that onsite support but would be loosing the benefit of the office space.

I'm working from home today, and my daily 10:00 meeting got canceled. That's a sweet, sweet thing.

My managers are always on Facebook, but once I chat to them online and ask about it I never get a response. It's stupid because I can see them updating their status, posting photos or writing on walls.
- Andrew Trinh
Annnnnnddddd, he's gone for the day! Since he specifically told me not to stay too long, I'm going to leave for lunch in a little while and forget to come back =) Small companies FTW!
