Julie Barrett - Comments

zaloom! - Kevin Johnson

If we are really cool we'll get on this list http://friendfeed.com/search... - Robert Scoble

Kevin is first, who will be last? I just want to be the penultimate commenter! - Robert Scoble

first and last words are all that matter on the FF. - rob friedman

Okay. Everyone stop NOW! - Kevin Sablan

great. now FF is going to be filled up with those annoying ass people that comment "FIRST!" on everything. - Enrique Gutierrez

ok - Shawn Snodgrass

Aw crap, I could sit here all night waiting to be last, so may as well comment now. - Sharon McPherson

8th! - rob friedman

Any worthy FF thread will engage interested parties enough to read most of the comments. - iTad

Do I get bonus points if I end up being the thread killer? - Kevin Johnson

Kevin you could always delete your 1st comment. :) - rob friedman

Kevin! Yes, and we're having a great time watching this. It will get old fast, but for now it's really fun! - Robert Scoble

Dang it I am 5 min too late. So I guess it is like posting on a blog post, you always want to be first. - Jeff

Hey Enrique.. that would suck. Oh... LAST! Oh Jeff... Last. - Ted Bradford II

That's why these threads just go on and on and on... people just want to have the last word. ;-P - Chris Heath

Chris: I don't want the last word. I want the penultimate word. :-) - Robert Scoble

Nope, I like the riffng of the conversation. Jump in anywhere. Enjoy the free flow of ideas and worry not about being seen by the scanners. Those who take the time to expand the thread have such a richer experience. - michael sean wright

if i wasn't so tired i'd play that out Chris (as my last post was truly in jest). Late here in East TN. Gonna go tip a few cows and call it a day. - Ted Bradford II

Ted: so was mine ... didn't you catch the winky tongue? (i'm on cape fear so i'm soon to bed as well) - Chris Heath

Good point, unless you're actually using the RT chat aspect of FriendFeed, I guess... - Andy Werner

I actually come back 5 days later to make comments so I can have the last word. Everyone has already forgotten what the conversation is about by then. - Jeff

Chris- I did, but needed a segue into a cow tipping joke... cause I've never done so before. I do know this, tomorrow I will use the word 'penultimate' and dazzle family and friends. Hope alls quiet on the Cape bro. These storms have been a biotch. Annnnnnd Jeff just trumped us all. Tell him what he's won Enrique... nite all. - Ted Bradford II

Second to last is always visible on my screen. :) - Bwana ☠

Clever way to get the most commented upon comment on FF ever.... - Barak B

Ted, if you haven't dozed off- i'll have you know that the coastal winds tend to keep a lot of the storm systems at bay- if you're close enough to the water - a mile or 5 inland can make a big difference some days - and spot t/storms can be localized around here big time - for instance yesterday it rained (for a short period) at my house while i was at work 5 miles away getting no rain - only knew cuz the ground was wet when i went home for lunch... ok - it's really time for sleep now - g'nite FriendFeed - Chris Heath

so in other words, last is not least? - Julie Bovee Hill

Barak: check out this idea for a long thread (still nowhere near the longest on friendfeed, but the idea.. ) http://friendfeed.com/ajbatac... - Chris Heath

Chris: Yes, that is a good one too. This is better though and I predict with end up with more comments. - Barak B

Yay! I am last as of now :) - Amit Nangare

lets see how long this lasts for! :) - Paul Kinlan

Another one of these? From Scoble this time? Wow. BTW, last post. - Chris Charabaruk

I will be the penultimate commenter! - Garin Kilpatrick

That way I can be the ultimate one. - Chris Charabaruk

Nope. - Barak B

friendfeed should allow for "liking" comments so top comments can be the ones shown, no matter the chronology. And allow the users to watch comments by likes, threaded or chronologically. - Charbax

A blatant attempt at gaming the FriendFeed statistics for no real useful purpose... Oooh, can I be last, Please Please!!! - Peter Kelley

No, Peter, you may not be last. That's my position. - Chris Charabaruk

Last Post!!! - Richard Hurt

well, the last comment is always changing, isn't this like having your 5 nanoseconds of glory? - Liviu Lica

This thread is now closed. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

No, NOW it's closed. - Chris Charabaruk

Or is it? :) - Liviu Lica

Perhaps now... - Garin Kilpatrick

I would give it another 2 hrs or so. - Jeff

thats me! :) - Roshan Ramachandran

based on what you say, it easier to simply click like :-) - Orli Yakuel

:) - Michael Fidler

"Comment on a friendfeed item"? which one? ;) - Thierry R. Andriamirado

Are trying to go for the longest comment thread again? - Amit Morson

Amit: no, most times one post gets hidden. - Robert Scoble

In a different timezone you can have the advantage :) - Rene de Vries

Okay, people, nothing to see here. Just walk on. This is the last comment. It's all clear now. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

What if you write backwards? Does that help? - Kieran Daly

Okay, people, nothing to see here. Just walk on. This is the last comment. It's all clear now. says Ruud van Wijngaarden - Julian Edward

It would be nice if we could pick the number of comments shown at the top and bottom, I'd like to see the first 3 and last 3 for example. - Kol Tregaskes

I usually read all the comments of something I'm interested in. I don't just read the top and bottom ones so I don't care where I come in. I comment on what I want to because I want to say something. It's nice if the original poster reads/responds to it, but not absolutely necessary. Most of the time the most fun/interaction comes from other commenters. - Molly

:) says Michael Fidler - Julian Edward

Sounds like an online auction...Is there any deadline? Then I'll prepare my winning speech 17,3 sec beforehand. - Zack Brandit

I'm not falling for your postbait, Scoble! Oh wait...crap. - caj needs a haircut

Cow tipping - That's Funny - Brent - Yes I am

Good point. - Jack Boyle

I feel sorry for the cows. And the grass. I am weakhearted I guess. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

I guess I misunderstood. You were talking about that fat waittress in Crazy Mick's Breakaway Cafe, weren't you? - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Fine, I'm in - Don Bonaddio

am I last yet ? - Julian Edward

Nope - Jérôme

no - mjc

Yeah, you were last. Congrats. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

In ur timezone, stealin ur commentz, kthxbye :) - Peter Kelley

ok, I'll hold on to last place for visablity! - PaulJohnson

I was going to add something witty, but i got nothing. sorry.... - Mike Nencetti

No problem. Participating is more important than winning, we say in the Netherlands. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

It's the long-tail of real-time - zeroinfluencer

Excellent point David ;) - Don Bonaddio

Being last has one drawback. It makes you a thread-killer. I'm not sure some of us like being that. Sometimes I'd rather see the discussion keep going. - George Hall (Australia)

Do like the suggestion made earlier that there should be bonus points for being the thread-killer... - George Hall (Australia)

but who wants to be last? - mcvictor

Ok Robert, please close this thread now. ;) - Meryn Stol

I disagree, and I'll tell you why below... - FFing Enigma

We already did this thread, I'll post the link right after Tina's rebuttal - Rah-PM 2012

You don't really believe that Robert. Content is key! :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

But if I post last, I'm first in the thread on Twhirl! Double win! ;-) - Julie Barrett from twhirl

amazing - David Gross from email

Always happy to be last .... but it probably won't last :) - Charlie Anzman

llllllaaaaasssssstttttt - mjc

You'd be right Charlie :P - Jay

And there is nothing I hate more than reading that first comment that childishly claims "First!" and nothing more. "Last!" (until the next comment comes along) - Jim Espinoza

By the way, I'm the last commenter in a very participated thread recently started by Robert Scoble, but that didn't gain me almost any new follower. I'm fine with this though, as I'd find silly being advantaged for being the last commenter ;-) - Opensource Obscure

Agreed :) - Fabian De Simone

How do I stick my comment to the bottom so that it will always be last? :) - Jeff Sayre

How long can this go on? - Tom Landini

Last! ...for now - Scott

So this if why Scoble goes nuts over realtime feeds - he can be the first to comment. - Tom Landini

Well, every comment gets to be last for at least a couple of seconds. Or fractions of a second with RT. - The original Kevin

If you want to understand the power of last you need to read this thread http://friendfeed.com/mikenay... - WoH: Minding her Steves

"There is no final solution. There is no last word.” ~ Carlos Fuentes - Sharon McPherson

First is way better, because the last post can always change :) - Tim McDougall

http://last.fm - Garin Kilpatrick

Easy to be first, harder to be last. Kind of like trying to win a silent auction, you always have to go back - Lorraine Ball

but what if it took me a while to find the discussion, and i still want to be last? ;-) - Courtney Engle

Firs...Last. - Rob

@Rob - in yo' face! - JoEllen

The one who will comment after me is so stupid I would'nt like to be him :P - stanjourdan

Yoink! - Zach Lytwyn

112 comments - but there can never be last comment, can there? Unless there is a FF limit on the number of comments - Paul, is there a limit? - WoH: Minding her Steves

The current last comment is the next penultimate comment. - Brian Sullivan

Not everyone is on here to market themselves to infinity. Why people, other than people who actually make money off of exposure, insist on wanting the most friends on ff/fb/ms/tt is beyond me. Not everyone is a Scobilite! Yes I did just make that word up... where do I copyright it? lol - Jason Williams

Didn't someone blog about tinyurl's dominance a while back - about how they have too much power. Might have been Gillmor or Winer - Bwana ☠

Winer. I don't think they have too much power - Steve Gillmor

I'm going for last. - Derek Markham

I've got last:-) - Francine Hardaway

I'm the ultimate thread killer, so I win. - JCunwired

instahide - Edward Zwart

How can we compete against Robert - Peter Meng

Peter: why compete? Just come in last! :-) - Robert Scoble

ok - Kevin Johnson

Just checking. I heard this thread was closed, so I wondered if commenting still works. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

For the love; Robert please kill this tread so I will stop getting email. ;) - Jeff

wow that's pretty rad :-) - Patphelan

@Jeff, it's not spam if you opt in ;-) - Kevin Johnson

wonder what the value of posting on page length increments are... as people page down your comment is visible ;) - offbeatmammal

Jeff: do you still get email if you hide a thread? I bet you do. That sucks. Now I know why I don't turn on email notifications. - Robert Scoble

There is no last. - Mobius Loop - Robert Couture

to infinity and beyond - Jonathan Grimes

Kevin: i did not say it was spam. I put the smiley face indicating my partial joking nature. but only partial. - Jeff

Robert: I could not figure out how to disable comments for particular post. It is really not a big issue since I have gmail, but I do think this post may never die. - Jeff

@Jeff - same here - noworries - Kevin Johnson

- Rob

This. Will. Never. End. - Michael Forian

Pay me $10 and I'll delete this thread. (Future friendfeed monetization technique). Sigh. - Robert Scoble

Your comment is always the last! look at mine :) - Luis Benavides

Welcome to the neverending thread :) - Garin Kilpatrick

Garin: I'll delete it before it ends. :-) - Robert Scoble

Robert: That would be a shame. You'd be up $10 at least though :) - Garin Kilpatrick

The last shall be last - Peter Meng

There can be only one. - Kevin Johnson

I seem to be last on many of Steve Gillmor's posts @techcrunchit, the kiss of death to many a conversation. I should be so lucky here. - Aron Michalski from fftogo

A good way to stop? - Scoble puts in his penultimate comment Kevin Johnson says zaloom! - Julian Edward

Yes, you should be so lucky :p - Jesse Newhart

I'm going to change my FriendFeed ID to "145 more comments" - Mark Traphagen

Getting a piece of the pie... :) - Jan Ole Peek

I've often found myself to have the last comment. It hasn't benefited me yet that I've noticed...let's try that again. - Mike Lewis

first is forever....last is a very transient honor indeed. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

and being both is probably meaningless, but I'm still going to claim it - Kevin Johnson

Do others ever get more than 2 comments on their posts? :) - Cameron

I'm lucky to get 2. - JCunwired

Doing it!! www.radarla.com - Drew Lucas

So, if you are last and then someone comes behind you, should you re-comment to be last again? - T.S. Elliott

Probably so T.S. but it won't last long ;) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Sorry Rob:-) - Michael Fidler

1 - Robert Kenney

2 - Robert Kenney

This is the Seinfeld of FF....the post and comments about nothing. I wonder what the record is for the most comments on FF? - Jeff

As a fine-art platform, as a painting, do you think anyone would be interested in a full-screen image feed animated by Judith Supine? http://www.flickr.com/photos... - stephen harlow

He who comments last... - Abbas Haider Ali

comments as: - Kevin Johnson

Tag- Im it - Ryan Gerritsen

not anymore you're not ;) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

zaloom! - Kevin Johnson

for one moment I could imagine that every comment was Kevin Johnson and his "zaloom!" - WoH: Minding her Steves

ANd so I do and then another and another :) Fun huh. - Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa

not really... but hey... whatever - Chris Heath

So to comment or to like a FriendFeed item is to promote it.. and to promote the promoter. Great great great! - Thierry R. Andriamirado

173rd!! - Mark Traphagen

Controlled noise... - Joe Dawson

Indeed it is official :) But not for long let me bask in it's glory for a moment hahaha. - Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa

It was fun while it lasted. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

It's over now - no need to post any more comments - Julian Edward

Okay, Thanks. It was taking too much of my time anyway. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Nicholas: Except this thread is far more epic :) - Garin Kilpatrick

back again...to claim last place! - Zach Lytwyn

Good for you Zach! - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Cannot. Let. This. End. - Robert Couture

Have. To. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

hit hit hit - Hans Mestrum

Kol: Cool idea, it would be neat to be able to choose how many of the first and last comments were visible. - Garin Kilpatrick

Last - Michael Fidler

I like most anything distilled...information, bait...(distilled bait...is that like the worm at the bottom of the mezcal?) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

The difference would be that in this case the worm will stay on the bottom. No matter what. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

I reckon it'll be Ruud van Wijngaarden - Julian Edward

I am not quite sure about that. But willing to accept it. (Wait! You just called me a worm? The most underrated but valuable animal on the planet, that brings us fertile ground and eats dead stuff? It is a nice compliment, but might be a bit much). - Ruud van Wijngaarden

No, No! - I didn't mean you worm. Although as you say they are useful beings. I do hope you'lll be in heroic position of last commenter! This is a case of the last shall be second. (Kevin Johnson being first of course). Scoble is penultimate we would hope. I'm aiming for 5th to last! - Julian Edward

Yesterday somebody asked: 'if you pass the number two in a race, which place are you in?' and I answered wrong. Passing the last one in this race will be hard... - Ruud van Wijngaarden

The last comment shall be mine! :) - Garin Kilpatrick

Woot, last comment. ;) - Jimminy, CoG of FF

mine - Michael Fidler

NOPE - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Mmmm. I always hoped I would be last. - Ruud van Wijngaarden from email

I think it is hard to be first and even harder to be last.. just look at this thread.. http://ff.im/1hqgl - David Gross

Last comment? - Jeff P. Henderson

you mean Twitter Gar1n? You were talking on TWITTER WEREN'T YOU! LIAR "friendfeeed Garin" pfttttt still the same bi-polar - The Real sofarsoShawn

Interesting comment, SFSS, very interesting indeed. So interesting, in fact, that I think that nothing further needs to be added to this thread. Ever. - WoH: Minding her Steves

אתם כל כך מלא חרא, אבל זו בעיה שלך, לא שלי :-) - David Gross from email

actually i don't know how not to be the last commenter :) - İ. Emre Kutlu

Me too.. - David Gross from email

If only I could puncture the depths of Scoble's scratch-the-surface brain fart, techno-vangelizing, then I'd actually care WHOLE HEARTEDLY about this meaningfully retarded thread. - The Real sofarsoShawn

The only way this thread can be made even more ridiculous and anachronistic is to move it to identi.ca.. Myspace would work, too. - Tal Shafik

Interesting ;) - Alex

And since you can't guarantee being last unless you are the originator of the thread or can convince the originator to end comments (but since Robert is AWOL that is unlikely) -- you better be first. ;-) - Brian Sullivan

Stuff - Jonathan Hardesty

Okay, admittedly being the last IS visible...but who REALLY wants to be the thread-killer? - George Hall (Australia)

apparently, some people http://friendfeed.com/ajbatac... http://friendfeed.com/silas21... http://friendfeed.com/mikenay... (notice 2000+ comments!) - Chris Heath

I think I remember commenting on one of those threads...and it's STILL going???? - George Hall (Australia)

Hey, this one's from May... it's about to hit its own anniversary! - Chris Heath

I'm surprised this only has a little over 200 comments. - Jason Williams

201 - David Gross

213 ? Original Zlaloom! + 212 more comments including this one. The last one. - Julian Edward

don't be so sure about that... there's lots of people who like to be thread killers or last... just wait and watch - Chris Heath

yes - that's very true - Julian Edward

Sage words Robert - Sage words indeed! - PaulJohnson

See??? I told you! - Chris Heath

yep - you were right - Julian Edward

It doesn't seem to work in the long term. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Woah....pretty cool - Shevonne

Broadcast my weight everywhere! ... I think not. - Julie Barrett from twhirl

Its just like a normal scale, it wont broadcast unless you tell it to. It is just WiFi-enabled. You could track your weight in the computer, I guess, and that is the advantage... - TrafficBug

Actually typing three digits into a spreadsheet might count as exercise. - Jack&Cleo

"Web trending service Compete shows Friendfeed down nearly 30% in September with 750,000 U.S. unique visitors. This is down from just over 1 million unique visitors in August 2009." - Erhan Erdoğan from Bookmarklet

7 more comments

FriendFeed usage is obviously decreased this month. Best of Entries of all the whole friendfeed worth nothing at all. Scoble does not post good stuff, no new features, some people delete their account. As I said before, Facebook screwed FriendFeed up. Yeah, that's right! Hope people liked this acquisition can enjoy new friendfeed. It is just like an abandoned city for a few weeks. - Alp

I am - Shakeel Mahate

dont believe in stats, they are made up by facebook owners :)) çakma haberler yapıp insanları yönlendiriyorlar - MobilAdam

Bana öyle geliyor ki burda en son biz Türkler kalacaz -- kendi kendimize takılacaz :P - Onur Kabadayi

@MobilAdam: LOL! - Julie Barrett from twhirl

still here. - Mike Nencetti

agree with alp - ffcode

Still here. - John (bird whisperer)

I see it, and you look fantastic in both pics :) - Sir Shuping is just sir

16 more comments

You look younger and brighter/lighter in the second pic. I don't know if I "see" weight loss, but I see happy and energetic somehow. You are cute! - Laura Norvig

You can see it in the cheeks and in the chin you can also see it in the shoulders. Congrats by the way. And yes, I can see it. - Dan owns Comicsforge.com

congrats on the milestone. yes I see difference, but it doesn't look like 42 lbs different. not from the headshot, at least. - chrisofspades

Yes, I can see it, and you are looking good - RAPatton

Yes. :) - Steven Perez

Yep. All evidence seems to point to you looking better now. ( I still love the look of both Mary's) - ♫410 I Coach 'em Up♫

Thanks, y'all. I see it mostly in my waist and my pants. A little inthe face. i think Im crazy. - Mary Carmen

Yep...and it's inspiring. - Derrick

Lookin' good.... - Spencer

You look great in both photographs. You lose about an inch for every 10lbs, so you should be falling out of your clothes by now. - Fossil Huntress

definitely a visible change. it's probly hard for you to notice cos it's happening over time. well done! :) - Joe The Sausage

For whatever it is worth, assuming you are losing weight from exercise (the Wii Fit thing) it will start in your arms and legs (what you are moving) and THEN you'll see it in your face. - Personal FinanceGuy

Je vois ce que tu veux dire. Oui oui tu as bien meilleur mine. Continues comme ça. (I understand what you mean. Yes yes you lok really better. Goes on. Wish you the best. - Desirade

Yes and you look fabulous in both pictures. - comix aka martha

I steer clear of venturing an opinion. As a man I find it usually back fires. lol - Kevin J Hatton

I see a difference. Congratulations. You're probably replacing some of the fat with muscle, which is so much better for you. - Julie Barrett

While both are adorable, the more recent picture is the one I've grown to know and anticipate seeing. - caj needs a haircut

Scary. This happened inside the supposedly secure parking garage of our apartment building last night. Bose stereo and navigation system completely gone. - Michael Hocter

:/ - Jemm

I'm so sorry to hear that. It's horrible! - James Stratford

...that's not cool. - JA Castillo

I had that happen, too. Move out as fast as you can. - Wirehead

:((( - Rochelle

this is terrible!! :-( - Jannifer @wordsforliving

that stinks - Kim Landwehr

:( - Tony C (Unrated)

If you look closely at the first picture, you can see some fingerprints on the edge of the door. The police told us to leave it as is until they come collect fingerprints. Hope those aren't mine! - Michael Hocter

That sucks! Insurance is great, but you are still out the deductible. In my case it would be $500 out of pocket! - Jeff P. Henderson

that's awful! - vicster

That's terrible, and I know how it feels. It's happened twice to me; once in New Orleans and once at a friend's house. - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

If the apartment building advertises a secure parking garage, perhaps they should get some cameras. Hope the police get the prints soon; good chance this is a repeat offender. - John E. Bredehoft

Luckily we just lowered our deductible last time we renewed the insurance. Hopefully this will end up costing me $100, not including the hassle. Damn thieves! - Michael Hocter

Ouch. I've had my GPS & stereo each stolen twice. My computer once. Hope the insurance process goes smoothly. - Mitchell Tsai

I'm sorry! Like a lot of other people here, I've been through this, too, and it feels so awful! :-( - Moody (Sweet FA 4 Life)

damn that sucks - Kevin Nunez

:( my guess is that twitter will help you find the assmunch who did it - Allen Stern

Danny, the car alarm didn't help. Either it didn't go off or we're too far away to hear it. :( - Michael Hocter

On what basis does the property management claim that the parking garage is secure? You should give them hell about that. - Chris Charabaruk

what kind of Car was it ? - Kevin Nunez

2008 Nissan Altima - Michael Hocter

:(, i'm so sorry, :( - chaz2b

hmm im sure a car like that would have an alarm.. unless you forgot to activate it or something :s - Kevin Nunez

Car alarms don't do a thing except make a noise. They go off so often that everybody ignores them. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

My wife was joking about the fact that the car alarm light is blinking and still activated. Useless if you ask me. - Michael Hocter

Bummer and yeah, the car alarm is to prevent someone from stealing the car, not from stealing the contents in the car, unless you have the type of security system that includes window sensors. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Alarms don't discourage professionals. My alarm stops ringing if I disconnect the battery (duh!). One of my thieves did that (takes 5-15 sec). My car has been broken into 3 times in the San Francisco area (2003-2007, 5 years) (never in Marin, Berkeley, or Palo Alto areas) - near Japan Town & Chinese Embassy, outside Yoga Journal Conference at a Hotel near Tenderloin, outside apartment... more... - Mitchell Tsai

Terrible.....you feel violated, whether it's your car or your home. - Bonnie Foster

Damn, sorry man. - Derrick

Bummer - Brent - Yes I am

thats too bad. im sorry =[ - Marissa

Ooops! - Geer

Awful! Sorry to hear that. - Tv Series

That sucks. I remember when my wife's car was broken into outside of a Target store. She had just gotten a few groceries next door, placed them on the front seat, and ran into Target. Someone smashed the front passenger side window ($600+labor) for about $20 in groceries. Of course, our deductable was $1000. - Mark J

the minute you see this scene, it feels like as if boiling oil has dropped over your head. gross! - Besim Dönmez

damn... - Kyle Weller

this is terrible, sorry to hear that. - Thomas Hawk

A disgusting act. I hope it all works out - Mo Kargas

hideous - hope that the insurance will refund you everything - Barbara R. S.

:( That sucks. Did they really need to wreck that thing off? Man sorry about this. I've had my car broken into but this one looks bad. Karma will get back at these thieves. :( - AJ Batac :)

Disgusting. We once had all of the family´s three cars broken into the same night at our home. Just for some old radios and cds. A lot of glass bits. - ɯɥøq sɐɯoɥʇ

Dang. That happened to my husband's truck a couple of years ago. They got a lousy $99 stereo for their trouble. - Julie Barrett

:-( That is indeed massive suckitude. - Ladyepiphanybug

Awful. wow, no words... - Rick Cogley

no words here either. sorry that you need to go through that. - Neya

Sorry this happened to you. - Anne Bouey

Wack. I hate when that happens. Sorry about that. - Bryan R. Adams

@scoblezier, really? Why this census of the population is not noise? - Never Impersonate You

Never: no, it's not noise. What's noise is going off topic on a thread. I'm very close to blocking you too. Keep it up. - Robert Scoble

I prefer FF over twitter and facebook, but all my friends are on twitter and/or facebook. Maybe facebook will get it right this time now that it has acquired FF. If they simplify it a bit more without removing functionality. Then I would spend a bit more time on FB. Lets hope all goes well with the merger. If not I'm jumping ship and going over to Google Wave. oh wait, I'm going to go with Google Wave regardless! ;-) - Captain Jack

Me! Me! - DGentry

@scobleizer i can speak english and i beg you to remove bann from all russian friendfeeders, because we are all from it-community, working in internet companies and we came with peace, you asked for feedback from friendfeed addicts — we show you how really it is being frf addicts, we change names, we chat, we making things that are not serious. Why so serious? Unlock people, they are not bots, they just playing the game of real addicts and have fun. Common. - ideali

shaun: I started this post to demonstrate that a lot of us are still here and aren't likely to leave. At least not quickly. So, life goes on after FriendFeed gets acquired by Facebook. Point proved. - Robert Scoble

Beyler, bana bir sey anlatin, bu kadar ciddi olmaya ne gerek var? Translation: Guys, why so serious? - ideali

Good morning, Robert! - Hector

ideali: have them send email to scobleizer@gmail.com and I'll unblock anyone who says they weren't impersonating me. - Robert Scoble

Hector: good morning! I need coffee. - Robert Scoble

@robert yes they (we will) stay here, I think tat the migration process will take time and after reading @Paul Bucheit, I think that what we all are trying to get even if we don't say it explicitly is to preserve a kind of intimacy (beeing a part of the Huge faceBook community) don't mean that FF community will preserve their intimacy, why should a community be a plan one, (let imagine a community as a set of sub-community) that all. - abdellah

Wow!! So many likes and comments; is it a record Rob? - Erfun

@scobleizer thank you, for understanding. be cool, guys we just want have fun here a little. Take care. - ideali

@Robert RE "I have enough noise in my life. I don't need to have more" - isn't it a lot of noise having 26K subscriptions and 46K subscribers on your frf account? I'm kind of surprised - you create a community that large around yourself, yet when you see a new and unusual activity you just block it right away. - Он будет добрый, ласковый

@Robert, patience? Who's talking about patience? It's about curiosity, not patience. When something strange and unusual happens around you, you can either try to stop it or try to see what it can develop into. You choose to stop - and it stopped. Well, not stopped - just moved to some other place. And do you really know what it was and what it was about to bring you? - Он будет добрый, ласковый

so only a few % of rob's followers on here responded? - Mark

Just logged into Friendfeed in the last 24 hours. This seems a lot cleaner than Twitter for certain. I'm an organization freak! - David Kolln

Mark: I have 46,000 followers, but the usual thing is only a percentage of them show up on any week. - Robert Scoble

That's sad - Gianluca Neri from iPhone

I'm sure this is part of Scoble's plot to poll all the people who really read his posts, and unfollow the rest. So I raise my hand. - Shivanand Velmurugan

Just a wannabe. Not an addict (yet). - Carole Hicks

It might also be a way for me to filter down my "following" count (diff (my followers, scoble)) are the only people I really need to follow. Those that scoble follows, I can safely unfollow and use Scoble as my social media filter :) - Shivanand Velmurugan

Only 15 more comments to go and this thread will make it into the 1500 category http://friendfeed.com/search... - Jay Cuthrell

I just mention the 1500 mark since it was such an iconic query to see... that and the 500 Likes club of FF posts. It's pretty exclusive stuff... but it's also sobering to note that the subject matter required to get to these levels isn't always a uniform mix of cares/concerns. - Jay Cuthrell

@bdlangam From my perspective the #1 tip in this category is: Explore and define "best use" for yourself. Despite potential "finishing" impression of some productive consolidations in this collective-collaborative cognition space, the emergent #cognosphere is still WAY too nascent to assert anything other than initial impressions.

Can FF servers manage such a massive movement? - Samuel Goëta

Facebook is copying twitter too closely...even to going down at the same time - Robert Littlejohn

Does Twitter have what it takes to be a big player? We've been working with their API on a project and every time there is something out of whack. Anyone else have the same issues? - Chris Nadeau

twitter is really down, I think twitter itself should have a site that tweets when it's down :) - Ata İsmet Özçelik

Could this mean that CNBC was right??? Nooooooooooo! - travispuk

I was planning to unfollow a bunch of followers due to Twitter's follow limit rule kicking in at the ~#2000 user level. I have to wait with that then... ;) - Martin Lindeskog

FF FTW - Eran Even-Kesef

Let's see how well Friendfeed handles this Twitter outage :) - Rene Silva

Re previous comment of mine, 'Nooooooo!' was for CNBC being right, not that twitter is dead. ;) - travispuk

life goes on - Eran Even-Kesef

Hey don't tell anyone about this FF thing, its our little secret - Jeff Wiant

Panic? - Dean Clark

@scobleizer I'm seeing issues with twitter and facebook. Social website attack? - Michael Fierro

Panic? Aren't we all used to this already? :) - Sasha Kovaliov

if this is the North Koreans with a coordinated attack I WILL laugh - cheapsuits

Robert, please follow back 106,000 and everything will be ok))) joke =) - obolonskyi

I can not play 140mafia!!! This sucks sooooo bad :( - Sam Beckett

Twitter outage is causing issues with both facebook and friendfeed. I guess we know where everyone is going instead of twitter. - April

facebook? no way :) - Sasha Kovaliov

Twitter being down is a a relief to me this morning! Now I can stay OFF it rather than fitting it into every 30 second change of task! n - Arleen Boyd

at this rate they will have to start sending out junk mail via the post office again... oh the humanity - Terry Bruce

Nothing seems to work, I think it will be the Friend Feed greatest traffic boost ever - Jacob Kobi Gamliel

guys, is it Ddos attack? or smth like that? as I understand twitter is hosting somewhere and this datacenter is down. am i right? - obolonskyi

FriendFeed traffic is rocking now... - Jacob Kobi Gamliel

social media "experts" might need to actually find other work to do. - Luis Sandoval

thanks God, Youtube is working - obolonskyi

More info needed. Where is there an alternate feed to real time news? - SenderOK

seems unlikely I'll do anything productive in the interim - WarLord

http://theloopzilla.blogspot.com/2007... - Gordon Joly

Hopefully they will move to FF :) - Martynas

it could be ff provocation - obolonskyi

I feel like we are all stranded on a tropical Island together - Jeff Wiant

was afraid for a moment that out IT blocked all social networks or something horrible like that. Thank god FF came back up quickly. This might have gotten me to use FF more. I often neglect it. - Ryan Cummins

Wondered why tweetdeck wasn't loading anything. actually got some programming work done. lol - Justin Long

friendfeed rules! - Kevin Dolan

twits will move, but only until twitter is back online, then there will be a mass exodus. Remember during all of the 2007/2008 fail whales users still flocked back to it regardless. - travispuk

Twitter, Facebook, now Posterous... 4chan organize an attack or something? - Sam Harrelson from IM

Thank goodness FF is still working. :) - 3Cinteractive®, L.L.C. from twhirl

http://status.twitter.com/post... - Martin Lindeskog

Friendfeed + Facebook :) - Rafa Lacerda

http://whentwitterisdown.com/ - Josette

From status.twitter.com: "Site is down 1 hour ago. We are determining the cause and will provide an update shortly." - Martin Lindeskog

Touché Robert, Touché - Jeff Woelker from twhirl

North Koreans I tell ya.... - cheapsuits

took inordinate amount of time to get into ff today as well - A Zmaj

Hmmm DoS attack...someone wanting a ransom from Twitter? - Mike Gargano

Guess they'll have to either pick up the phone or do some work :) - Graham Bunting

Can someone with 94k followers really mock the the celebs and experts devoid of Twitter? - Augie Ray

Hey, no bogus follow messages in my inbox for a while! ;-) - Julie Barrett from twhirl

This is teaching us something about the framework of the current Internet traffic patterns. We're watching cascade scale problems from one major Internet program going down. - Melanie Reed

Facebook is giving up the ol', "Transport error (#1001) while retrieving data from endpoint `/ajax/inline_comments.php': A network error occurred. Check that you are connected to the internet" message now. - 3Cinteractive®, L.L.C. from twhirl

http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com - Martin Lindeskog

I think this is bigger than Twitter and FB... I think it's some interweb routes or something. I had a VoIP call going with a party local to me and two across the country and I lost the two across the country, but maintained the local party. And others are commenting on other sites showing signs of outages. - Timothy Federwitz from Alert Thingy

Twitter is Down....panic..run.,,SOS! - Veetrag

What will they do? Use FriendFeed! - Chuck Huckaby

It's official. Twitter's problem is a DoS attack per twitter/status. - Roger Jennings

http://status.twitter.com/ - giuny

shhhh they'll come here - andy brudtkuhl

The real bummer for me is, now I actually have to listen to the radio to get the word of the day! - Travis Owen

is twitter connected with FB or Friendfeed? I am having page errors with both, Ajax issues with FB intermittently , I am no tech geek so I have no clue whats up and come here to learn - lisa coultrup

Maybe Ev's interview on the BBC last night didn't go down well with the Iranians! - Andrew from iPod

Status Blog says "We are defending against a denial-of-service attack." Mmmm... http://status.twitter.com/post... - akihito

Friendfeed it is then. - Aren Grimshaw

Now, It's up! - Martin Sliacky

Posterous isn't working properly either, at least for me. - Steven Melfi

What does DoS mean? - Kimberle Kelly

denial of service - Justin Long

I meant what does denial of service mean? (dumb blonde here sorry) - Kimberle Kelly

If it's true..or is it propaganda? - Alex Schleber

It's down, again. - Martin Sliacky

Thank you :o) - Kimberle Kelly

Ev coming onto the BBC last night and saying that they were asked by the US Goverment to keep Twitter up and running during the Iranian protests cannot have gone down well in Tehran! - Andrew from iPod

DoS on large portions of the internet. Is this 4Chan... Chinese... N. Korea... durkadurkastan... - Ryan Cummins

now having trouble getting to Friendfeed - Justin Long

look, few days ago Clinton back home with two imprisoned american journalists from North Korea and today Korea is attacking twitter? it is revenge))) - obolonskyi

maybe Robert's great unFollowing crashed the servers... no loss! Go FF - Jay Shapiro from BuddyFeed

some government is DDOS'ing the real-time internet to cover up something :-) http://leeprovoost.posterous.com/the-twi... - Lee Provoost

hmmm - abdellah

As I said, I predict a baby-boom in 9 months... wait and see! - Jordi Soler

SEO Experts can analyze their charts, celebrities and wannabe's can entertain us with video (maybe some cool Twitter Whore like stuff) , and social media experts can quickly become Fail Whale Experts. - Michele Lorito-Chase

@Lee Provost don't you thing you're going to be a little apocaliptic ? :-) - Filippo Ronco

Twitter downing has to be a lesson for all of us. if sometimes gmail or even google will be down. what we all are going to do in that situation??? - obolonskyi

@Filippo i've been suprised many times that reality is often more wacked up than the conspiracy theories of geeks :-p - Lee Provoost

I'm hoping the social media experts go away and do something useful. - Parvez Halim

@Lee this is true too :-) - Filippo Ronco

@Jordi LOL, considering that there are a vast amount of single male computer geeks out there in the twitter community, baby boom effect might be negligible :-D - Lee Provoost

what is bad here? here doesnt exist reply button =( - obolonskyi

@Lee single male computer geeks - LOL)) - obolonskyi

Go back to MySpace? - Juliana

The twitter bots are rebelling - Charles

@Flynn, go check out this Greasemonkey script, solves it: http://userscripts.org/scripts... - Alex Schleber

Come here and moan about it! - Kami Huyse

Read post on 100k unfollow - I love how people are commenting and blaming Twitter being down on that! lol - Helene

AAANND.. it's back. At least for a moment I guess.. - Alex Schleber

AAANND it's GONE! ..Again. At least I managed to send out a quick FriendFeed SOS, as in: "Still think you shouldn't have all of your favorite tweeps in a "backup system" on FriendFeed? Join here: www.friendfeed.com/alexschleber " - Alex Schleber

Either collapse or back to use their phones in voice only mode, do some shopping, get eye to eye contact ... Blame god, and then. Give a serious try on FF ;p - Marco ILLESCAS from iPhone

They will still be able to Tweet to themselves - not sure if they will realize it is down until it comes back up. - Phil Harrison

I hope everyone will be ok...lol - April Mendez

Hey, can I hang out here on FF while my Twitter is down :) - Kevin Krewell

Welcome to FF Kevin! You can tweet from here too! - Arleen Boyd

Thanks Arleen. I hear all the kool kids hang out here now - like Scoble and you! - Kevin Krewell

I'm glad I joined FF yesterday, great timing! - CodeSamurai

I also micro-blog or create my own Twitter, but in more than 140 characters. - polou/indigo_bow

FF and Tumblr are working fine! :-) - Tim Moore

A good FF day- new familiar faces on this thread. - E-Advocate Network

What will the blackhat SEO experts, the SM spammers, and the social media experts do during a widespread outage? The answer is obvious: While sitting out the crisis they're fine-tuning their methodology. Seriously, your question offends me. There's a gazillion of SEO experts out there who do not abuse social media. - Sebastian

Sebastian there can't be a gazillion SEO experts! What's 10,000 keywords times 20?? (and that's being generous!) - Arleen Boyd

Would a social media expert consider it to be a crisis? If they rely so heavily on just one or two tools that it's enough to throw them into a tizzy, their expert status would seem to me to be ... questionable, at best. - Gord McLeod

Agreed. - Greg

Arleen, 10,000 keyword phrases times 20 is a tiny fraction of the search terms that are worth optimizing for. Think of the long tail. Also, consider lots of webmasters and even publishers / site owners / bloggers / Web developers ... SEO experts who are able to optimize their stuff quite successfully but don't sell or publish their expertise. Many of them, and even many SEO consultants, do make sensible use of social media, as plain users. - Sebastian

Gord, in a social media spammer's book 2 hours of outage, IOW 2 hours w/o sales from sneakily distributed links to questionable sales pitches, can sum up to way more than a good day's beer money. ;) However, "crisis" might be a term too strong for this potential loss. - Sebastian

+1 Sebastian - Bill Sodeman

I'm hung up on hop 12! - bev

I love FF! - John Giglio

come to Friend Feed? Not - Rob Cairns

You must be dying of laughter now Robert! - Arleen Boyd

Arleen: yes, reading this is fun. Sebastien SEO types are so easy to wind up. ;-) - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Gotta love it... @RobCairns says "come to Friend Feed? Not" and then his page shows ONE POST from Twitter in the past 18 hours! And that one talks about how Twitter seems to be slowing down again! (Sorry Rob, but that's just too good to let pass!) - Mark J

Robert, admit it, you broke Twitter by massively unfollowing people. The DDoS attack reports have just been a ruse to cover up the fact that you were the backbone of Twitter all this time. - Louis Trapani

Louis: that is true. I pissed the bots off. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Keep running into the wall a few times then find alternate outlets such as ff, linkedIn, etc... - Kirsten Mitchell from iPhone

Looks like the devious plan to move everyone to FF is working well. LOL :) - Geer

Ha! The whole Facebook Twitter slowdown may have been just people clicking on spam (not a DDoS botnet). How funny! Manual DDoS. See Bill Woodcock's theory at CNet, AP, SF Gate, and The Register http://ff.im/6gLmO - Mitchell Tsai

There you go again implying the only ones that use twitter is SEO experts, the celebrities, the spammers, the bots, and the social media experts - This is definitely SPIN. Perhaps you should join CNN also LOL - RetiredTeacherD

Ironic, given your status as a celebrity social media expert who constantly spams about bots... :-P - David Kettler

Now they'll have time to shower and do their laundry! - momonalona

where did he get that shirt? - Rachel Luxemburg

Dang. And I just replaced that keyboard.... ;-) - Julie Barrett from twhirl

thinkgeek.com has it. - John Wang

Yup, thinkgeek is a great place to find geeky t-shirts. - Sebastian

Follow me! - TheHenry

397 more comments

TheHenry: I already am! :-) - Robert Scoble

Please don't unfollow me!! :) - SKAgnozzo

oh yeah! I forgot! lol! #fail - TheHenry

Very interesting approach Robert. If it is working for you that is awesome though. Hope all is well. Give Roc a big hug for me. - C.C. Chapman

Not too much unfollowing please. - Tim

i'm in - Tai Hsia

Can you follow me? - Giorgio

ok I'll allow you - Derry O Donnell

What's going on here? - Andru Edwards

I think you're already following me Robert. - Andrew Leahey

well ok ) - Denverken

Lead, follow, or get out of the way. - Robert Kenney

* - Michael J. Carrasquillo

[comments here] - Nick Humphries

I will comment here! :) - John Ptacek

Great blog appreciate all of your "likes" that I would not have noticed before. Thanks for all the time you spend educating us. - Gary Prechtel

auto-follow always seemed like a bad idea. people can always msg you but your stream will get totally cluttered if you dont do a little bit of housekeeping. - William Kapes

"baby I'm a star" -Prince (off purple rain) - Michael J. Carrasquillo

novel approach, seems sound - Danny Ayers

Okay, I'll bite.. - Tanya

Bring it Scobleizer. - Todd Pringle

I agree, Twitter is much better this way. - Ryan W

I appreciate your work, and your passion for social media. - Evan Travers

sounds simple... - Mateo Yadarola

Scoble follow me baby - Jadito

Oh you are getting quite a response here!!!! I'm commenting so you'll follow me but the thing is you're going to LIKE following me because you'll learn all about Sedona through tons of videos and you'll love it so much you'll want to pack your camera and head out here! =) - SedonaTV

Thanks for the mentions, Robert (and you know I'm not commenting just for the follow - I just like to follow you, which is what counts!) - Jesse Stay

Guess I might as well delete that overpriced twitter app I bought last week. - Shea from iPhone

Actually Robert, now I've seen you've tidied up your twitter, I'll probably follow you there again too. :-) - Tim

hey follow me scoble - Andy Jenks

Meh, who cares really, not like you read everyone you followed. Plus unfollowed you anyways, not like you have to say that's interestined except friendfeed spam. - Steve

joining the crowd - good move Robert. - Adam

follow me - Tai Hsia

welcome to Boulder - Andrew Hyde

@scobleizer just created the most important tech follow list on Twitter. - Christian Anderson

aww shucks, and here I was thinking it was just me who you unfollowed. - Jess Sloss

Scoble in Boulder = Trouble. - Jim Halligan @jim

I feel fortunate that you're still subbed to me on FF. I haven't even noticed whether you unfollowed me on Twitter. But you following me, still hasn't gotten me the chicks. :P Always fun seeing your posts, long as you don't block me, it doesn't matter if you follow me or not. :) - Arlan K.

I did the same thing some weeks ago after avoiding twitter because it got too noisy. It was instantly better. But in the mean time I started to use FF more and I like it better here so I hardly go near twitter now. - Murray Barton

You already follow me here on ff, which i use more than twitter. - dthree

Hey Robert, so for following >1,600 is it that right way taken by Philtro and Filttr? - Martin Adamek

Hey Robert - fight the tweetspam ! - Michael Neale

Don't think you are following me on Twitter anymore..please do and best regards - Karma Martell

I'm still trying to figure out the following... so I'm watching how you do it scoble. - Matthew Schrock

Good plan. I'm looking forward to your results. I'm trying to figure out all these social media elements. I would appreciate your Twitter follow. - David Stanley

hope this new approach works for you! - timepilot

Oh, so now you are only easy on FF. - James Watters

Odd internal response, I don't follow everyone who follows me cuz of the very noise you talk about. And, there's no good reason for you to follow me since I'm unlikely to deliver news of interest to you. And yet, here I am, posting on FriendFeed so you have the OPTION of following me, a stranger who is not the same kind of SMART as you. Who'd have thought... - Della Mauler

Interesting statement about original content value of FF independent of twitter. Twitter is where you keep your noise level down... - James Watters

This seems like asking for trouble to me, Scoble. But, it's your time and bandwith to do with what you will. Since only a handful of people (by that I think I mean just one) follow me on Twitter, it's pretty easy for me to weed out the bots. The people I follow are my internet nerds (mostly the Rev 3 crew) so I know their interests are in line with mine. Hit me up for some edifying conversations about Lost and video games, Robert. - Jeremiah Green

Here you go Robert! [also via twitter: @Scobleizer Therefore: only approx. 1.7 million "active" human @Twitter users contribute 50%+ of all activity, right? #engagement] Regards, @AAinslie - Alexander Ainslie

The green avatar is so disturbing mate. :) - Jordan Windebank

I'll lead, you follow. So where are we going? - Tom Sheppard

I was sad to see you unfollowed me, but now you may follow me again, so all will be well in the world. - Jodi

following the leader... - John Munro

You're still following me - does that mean I'm a smart feller? ;) - Brett Kelly

so glad I mail Robert a business card every month :) - Christian Anderson

Della: the thing is here I can follow you and put you into a list and watch you less frequently than some of my other people. So everyone wins. But only here on FriendFeed. :-) - Robert Scoble

Some of us have been doing this from our start. Kind of cool, eh? But our numbers don't grow quickly so we were tagged as "slow." Nice to see you catch up with us! Also, this may shock you, there sre folks who follow and communicate with only 3 folks on twitter and they are HAPPY! Imagine.... - lynda spangler

Yay. Now he will follow a librarian. - Just Joe

Follow this dot!!! . - Bwana ☠

Comment! - anna sauce

ok - Vasu Srinivasan

Good test, count me in... I don't follow tons of people, I follow a few prolific Scoble-types and the rest are more focused in areas I'm interested in. - David Ziembicki

I'm not following tons of people, just a select few. More to follow on FB when facebook has completely integrated Friendfeed-funcionality. ;-) - Wolfgang G. Wettach

I only follow people I know or have something interesting to say, did you really have 160000 people that said something worthwhile??? - Gerard van Schip

Well I commented via your Blog so instead of repeating myself I'll link to comment http://disq.us/1ms9 - Keith - @tsudo

Gerard: everyone says something worthwhile once in a while. The trick is to see it when it happens. Here on FriendFeed, by the way, you have a better shot because good stuff usually gets liked and commented on, so it pulls up higher into my view. - Robert Scoble

come join us here folks http://ff.im/6dUHN xxx - Mark

Okay. But will you read and comment on my stuff? - ☆ Mellyboo ☆

Robert, I posted this after Loic's decision and it looks like it will need another update. http://www.knowthenetwork.com/blog... I think there is value in stating your follow policy. - Keith - @tsudo

cool - Zach Cheatham

Hello? - Vicky

following all the discussion of you unfollowing everyone on twitter has made me think about doing the same thing and starting fresh. - (jeff)isageek

not unless we beat you in the Ashes - Mark

Nice post Robert, and no surprise it's an improvement. ;o) I have seen it for me too. - Rob Sellen :o)

1 thing I find Robert still worth following @Scobleizer when I am not on friendfeed & on my Hootsuite or PeopleBrowsr. therefore not much affected, not much 2 bother me, ego not gone at all. luv your post Robert it is a frank posting - polou/indigo_bow

Follow me Robert, I promise I'm not annoying. :) @cluteman - Greg Clute from iPhone

Robert, thank you! I follow you and enjoy your "likes" and your energetic takes. I also enjoy your Building43 interviews! I am a constant FriendFeed user now. Thank you! - Tobin Truog

This made me realise I must be more active on FF and comment/post more :-). - Mats Pettersson

I think I'll give FriendFeed a go! Never tried it, but looks easy and I need to understand the interwebs better. @CodeSamurai_Com - CodeSamurai

butt-kissing is not a prerequisite for being followed, he will follow you anyways :D - Mark

Count me in! (Please??) - Ricky Maveety

lol @mark. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

You can follow me, but since you follow a lot of people, you probably can't pay attention to the stream of tweets. - Alex Knight

Alex..that's the WHOLE point he did this... ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

IMHO 1,647 is still way too many people to follow. - Alex Knight

I will NOT get baited into ... ah CRAP. I follow very few people on twitter, mainly only to find info from Android developers (my topic of choice). If you mention anything about the food you are currently eating, etc.. you will probably not be followed. If you post 80,000 times a day, you will not be followed, since Twitters interface sucks (not so for FF). Also, no offense to other social users, but if you resend your FF/FB/<insert other social site here> entries to twitter, I probably won't follow. - Tim Hoeck

http://socialspark.com/blogs... Chris Pirillo is Scum. - Mark

good move IMO - Joanna Nicol

Love the post, love the response. - Chris Rogers from BuddyFeed

nice hanging out at with beach w/ you last week! follow moi!!! - Raina

I always feel like scoble's following me - Rodney J Woodruff from iPhone

Don't forget your Dunbar number, Scoble! There are only so many people you can have meaningfully connect with online. - Steve Lynch from twhirl

Mark is right. No butt kissing. Ew. - Robert Scoble

"I always feel like, somebody's watching me..." - Wizetux

Comment!!!! Ohh wait but you already follow me... - Amit Nangare

Follow me, if you aren't already....please. Thanks, - Steve de Mena

here is my comment ZOL - Grim Reaper

Comment? What kind of coomment, Robert? :-) - Mitch Featherston

Whoop there it is! On Twitter @jimgoldstein - Jim Goldstein from iPhone

Oh..Oh... Mr. Kotter...Mr Kotter..follow me! - Scott Booher

Glad to see you're writing more than 140 characters on that blog. Doesn't that feel liberating? Maybe we should be allowed character# based on your metric for powerful/smart/newsmaker - Noah Bloom

You already follow me here on FF, for which I thank you. So, I'll just say thanks for the phone call the other day. :) - Jeff Harbert

I'll take a follow! - Jeff Weber

@shaunhess - Shaun Hess

Ok, so follow me again and I will follow you back. Thanks! - Audrey

Robert - I fail on most of your criteria so I'm not expecting you to follow me. The thing is I don't care if you follow me back - this is social media and everyone has their own choice. I choose to follow you because you entertain and inform me. The relationship is 100% one way and I am more than happy with that! - Pon

Robert - Last night at GDGT Party the person at the Blackberry booth said: 1) She had 'heard of Twitter, never friend feed' uses neither 2) Is SCOBLE is coming tonight 3) Wow, your Blackberry is really "archaic" and find out when contract lets you upgrade. F-D UP? Booth babes need primers. - Liza + = ?

Interesting theory... people who comment more apt to contribute? - Mark Philpot

I know someone else who tried this strategy last year, with similar results. I've been debating it. Once I got over 3K followers on Twitter life just got weird. Started to spend X amount of time every day blocking porn spam. - Patricia F. Anderson

Liza: yeah, sorry for not coming to the party. I went and saw Obama's CTO instead. - Robert Scoble

Steve Lynch: my Dunbar number is higher than yours is. :-) - Robert Scoble

What is the best friend feed aggregation strategy of non-friend streams (eg RSS, twitter, etc)? Imaginary friend per service, then add to lists? Multiple services per imaginary friend or 1 to 1? Or add the services to a group? What are the considerations? - John Brown

Keith: you can repost anywhere you like, thanks! - Robert Scoble

I'm in! - Craig Shipp

still wondering how you are able to handle such a big load of subscribers here and e.g. so many followers with twitter o_0. I am already (sometimes) lost with the few i got till now. Lately with one sweep almost 40 to 50 contacts in twitter disappeard and i have no clue why ... boah, how are you handling the noise? Hell, with so many ppl in, you might have a terrific noise? Or you wear just good headphones ;)? - Ronald

I very much agree that being choosy is the key to Twitter. I'm not nearly on the scale that you are, but in my experience, freely following people (whetther they follow me or not) and then mercilessly cutting back on them over and over again results in a kind of darwinianly better and better signal to noise ratio. - Tim Maly

Touche! - Steve Lynch from twhirl

Hi Robert - Randy Allen Bishop

Liked the blog post and totally agree. I've been meaning to do something similar. What I do is occasionally prune and then add some "better" replacements, so my total is always 2000 follows. - Bora Zivkovic

I don't see how anyone can manage so many users without groups. Then again, with groups you could just make an "ignore" group. - Oscar M. Cantu from iPhone

Great blog post. I totally agree on the noise level. I figure I have blocked a few hundred accounts on Twitter, and my noise level has dropped dramatically. Thanks for the follow! - Tony "Frosty" Welch

Hello Hello! - Sam Goldfield

Robert - I figured you were in DC from FF, but she had NO IDEA what a CTO is. Point is, she was eager to give you a Blackberry, but not me, and I wish I had a Scoble costume to pretend for 5 minutes. - Liza + = ?

@Robert I think you are starting another mass follow again. - Steve Chou from fftogo

Steve: that's not the problem. As long as spam doesn't enter the system I can deal. Keep in mind here I can choose how I follow. I can put you all in a folder that I never look at, if I wanted to. - Robert Scoble

I'm in! - Chris Rossini

Brian, yeah, but I follow you here. So there. - Robert Scoble

Autofollow was a horrible idea to begin with. - David Chieng

I kind of tired to keep an eye on who follows me now,the ones I'm following is much more important.:-) - Steve Chou from fftogo

Whoa lots of comments I'm following you longtime lol - Edgar Rodríguez from iPhone

Robert: we need more intelligent spam-follower-filtering on Twitter! We need to fix this. - Steve Lynch from twhirl

@David +1 I think auto follow is such a bad idea to begin with,and people like Robert now even need to pay to unfollow these people. - Steve Chou from IM

How much did SocialToo charge for running the unfollow script? - Shane

I'm in! - rich brant from iPhone

I heard its 25 dollars. - Steve Chou from IM

I've always been very picky in who I follow on twitter. I follow 40 people, and I can't guarantee that I see every single tweet. I don't scroll back usually, unless it's my "Real Life" column in Tweetdeck that couldn't fit on my screen. - Tom Ribbens

Thanks Steve! $25 is pretty reasonable. Wonder if anyone else will be jumping on the bandwagon - Shane

Thanks for your post. Last time I checked you follow me here on FriendFeed. OK not to follow me on Twitter. - Pilgrim Five

Smart way to clean house. - Jeremy Chone

u have already subscribing me although i am just a-staying-at-home mum =)). thanx scoble. u are really a nice geek. haha! - ciw

Let's do it. - Kate

this is like an awesome commentfest - Edgar Rodríguez

You can follow me, but I never say anything. Oh.. wait.... - James Macgill

follow me! - Tate from BuddyFeed

Sometimes the tortoise beats the hare after all... building organically based on getting to know people and interactions tends to avoid the ghastly spammers, seo peeps and bots - Sally Church

Tap, tap... is this thing on? - Yanik Falardeau

This is the best place to follow you. On twitter you only see post headlines, but friendfeed is where the conversation takes place. - Michael Fidler

Ah crap. You're already following me :) - Jason Nunnelley

I'm outside your sphere, but bootstrapping is bootstrapping right? - Travis Bedard

Tuesday night for the first time in 2 months I UNfollowed everyone on Twitter who wasn't following me. Since you had UNfollowed me, yup I unfollowed you. My Twitter account is so /FUBARed! It only goes to page 506 to show who I'm following and after that it is BLANK! I don't even know if they show in my Home stream. So Robert, I value what you say. Know I can tweet profusely - but it's as @replies to others with the occasional micro-blog thrown in. Question, what DID I do to cause you to UNfollow me? - Arleen Boyd

I hope you'll follow me... - Shane Tilton

Follow me, eh? - Joey Gibson

Trying to fill out those dropped Twitter follows? - Jamie Elgie

Scoble: Have you convinced Guy Kawasaki against his "follow everyone that follows you" mentality? - Kevin Pruett

please do what you must to have the most effecient feed mr scoble, the random will still creep through the cracks, ;) - chaz2b

I still haven't really adopted FriendFeed, but I will get interesting here in time if you follow me. - Lance M. Brown

How are your cleanup efforts coming along? - Jennifer Ruggiero

Oops - I also meant to ask, Robert: how are you managing to follow the couple thousand that you are now re-following on Twitter? You must be using groups, I guess...any other methods? I find ~500 people to be a near max in terms of how many folks I can fully read. - Lance M. Brown

Following your inspiration, I unfollowed almost 100 people last night and blocked about 1000 spammers, cam girls, MLM marketers, and the like. Twitter is more like it was a year ago, its almost like I gave my Twitter account an enema and it worked. Thanks for the original idea. - Mark Edwards

Excellent! - Don Strickland

Robert, I started out only following those I know and those I am genuinely interested in. I've only followed back a few of the people who've followed me. I have a second account that I decided to experiment with. I followed about 700 people on there. It has had about double the followers of my main account consistently. I am about to try some new tricks there with an auto-follow script I'm writing but I think I will stay the course with my main account. - Paul The Raven

Robert, I tried the "follow everyone" (almost) method for a short time - then I'd unfollow about once-a-week. Now I try to schedule a "follow new" once a week. TweetDeck's group feature makes following lots of folks bearable. So does FF, but you've been saying that for-ever! - Kathy E Gill

I am just taking it slow. - Rick Cogley from iPhone

Hey. - Kreg Steppe

I will follow you if you follow me (Genesis) - Keith Barrett

I may not be smart, but I'm smart enough to follow you! - John Pfaff

It occurred to me (and surely to someone before me), that different definitions of "following" might be a big factor here. If I'm following someone, it means I'm following along with their updates. But others might see themselves more as becoming part of a person's "following". Not that they are necessarily reading the person's stuff, but they are willing to be considered part of that person's inflated Twitter posse, as part of the influence-trading aspect of Twitter. - Lance M. Brown

I can't imagine how it would happen technologically, but it would be great if there was a way to ditch followers who weren't actually reading your tweets. - Lance M. Brown

Enjoyed recent posts and look forward to more from you! Keep it up. - One Degree Connected

I don't want to be left out please!! - Jannifer @wordsforliving

All right, I'll bite :) - although I'll say that I did the mass-unfollow-thing months ago - long before it was cool. - Justin from Nambu

Your most active followers are on FF. No loss.If you really wanted to make a bold statement you ought to have blocked all of your followers and started from scratch. - Benjamin Taylor

Been a while since I put you and Shel On the record...Online - Eric Schwartzman

blah. - imabonehead

Good article Robert. I honestly enjoyed the perspective. I found the same to be true, but on a much lower scale, of course ;-) - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge

i'm in! - Criz

I don't get it - so now you are using Twitter kinda like a normal person, and its some kind of miracle that it works better? - Nick Lothian

I'm impressed you can keep up with 1600 people. I have trouble enough with the little amount I have. I did find that making FriendFeed imaginary friends and putting them in groups for those I'd like to read occasionally (but not on a regular basis) has helped a lot - Tamara

Follow....how about some promotion! - Bob DeMarco

i'm in - Joshua Smith from twhirl

9/11 Was an Inside Job - bill giltner

Stop it, or I will have to get a restraining order. - Sriks7

Hey, Robert! - Sullivan from iPhone

In my mind I'm important enough to follow ;-) - Jonathan Callahan

Hello Robert....Whatever your favorite genre is...http://listen.grooveshark.com/#... - Michele Lorito-Chase

Looks like you have a lot of work to do following everybody. - Corbett Barr

now i'll have to write something interesting... - Robert Littlejohn

me! i offer nothing but the warm feeling of having accepted a ff reject. - Marco

ok. so how will you filter the noise now - Kfir Pravda

Ooo, I've won the lottery. You'll follow me now. Wheeee! (how do you have the time to go through all of the names by hand? VA assistance?) - Peggy Dolane

Interesting trend on twitter - I always wondered what sense it made to follow tens of thousands of people, too much noise. I'm finding it hard enough to follow 2900 (looking to cull even that down as I mostly tweet about 30 people!) - Tia Singh

211th comment: WTF - Geer

Good :) - ★ Soner Gönül

I like your ability to influence so many people. I'm following you (mostly here - on FriendFeed) because it's one of the ways to learn how you do it (but, please, do not follow me if you do not see anything you could learn from me :-). - Hanna Wiszniewska

why would you do that? - james

got to get a pic up so i can fit the criteria, I only follow 45 people and some of them are on thin ice ( Im lookin at you Scoble) - James Hunter

"Where in The Net is Robert San Diego?" (cit.) :-) - Luca Perugini from iPhone

I'm not kissing your arse,but i do learn a lot listening to you. - Paul Downing

@scobleizer why would you randomly follow people who comment in this post when you just got done knocking FFollo and having to unfollow a gazillion people on Twitter? - Bryan Zirkel

Bryan: because I'm following people one by one and putting them into lists on my screen. Autofollowing means you aren't doing ANY of that thinking. Also, autofollowing will get you spammers, if they ever show up (and they will). - Robert Scoble

@Robert: Read your blogpost and that's indeed what I look at to follow people too. No autofollow and even close friends have to tell something interesting for me to (keep) following. Friends who are new to Twitter (no tweets yet) get the benefit of doubt. - Patrick Mackaaij

If you follow me, great, but if you don't I'll understand. :) And I ought to do some pruning myself... - Grant Bierman

Let's give it a try. :0) - Toma Kazakov

I still don't understand how you want to follow someone who just writes a comment over here. Well, this is not the first time. I did not understand why and how you followed 100k people. I find it hard to properly follow 100 people. - Sumanth Kolar

Sumanth: obviously there are degrees of "following." When you read the New York Times, do you read the entire paper word for word? I don't. Same when I'm following. I only get random slices of some of my lists. Others, which have 500 people on them, get 100% read. - Robert Scoble

I'm still here . . . although tired after teaching all day. Louis Gray came to my PR class at SFSU and WOWED the 50 students [except for one who thinks we are making too much of social media] We won't be following him. - Shari Weiss

I like cheese! - Paul Puri

Shari: Louis wows me too. Glad to see the class is getting into it. - Robert Scoble

He he :) - Richard Holas

I still like the "stranger stream" of Twitter vs "friend feed" of other applications. I don't feel the need to read all tweets from everybody - and tools let me check my fave tweeples. I think mass unfollowing destroys some of the social contract - Robert you are lucky because you are well liked and can do some risky things but companies for example (not Brands of One) would be in... more... - Laurel Papworth

As @charleneli predicted back in January, 2009 will be the year of de-friending on social networks. It's here. - Mark Evans

Laurel: yeah, you have to navigate these waters carefully if you are representing a brand, that's for sure! - Robert Scoble

you can put me on your boring list... - Charles Tanton

i will not get followed back: not powerful, don't have a brand, not a news maker... but i kinda understand the reasons - Dani Martínez

I still think it all goes into how you use twitter. If your using it as a communication tool it depends on if you are looking for broadcast or 2 way. Its interesting to watch as some of the bigger names turn back from the broadcast and go back to the 2 way. - Luke Kilpatrick

@Robert so when you're taking in information from FF do you have a feed of several dozen/hundred "key" people and then categorize the rest, or are you mainly searching? Do you utilize groups at all or mainly just rely on what comes across your feeds? I guess I'm curious as to how you're using FF to collect information. - Bryan Zirkel

I have found Twitter becomes noise rather than a conversation once the following/follower thing gets over a certain mark. I think this is the dirty little secret of Twitter - if it just turns into white noise, rather than a filter, then it becomes less than useful. - Michael Liss

I'm interested in how we'll all feel over the next few years as social networks continue to change and more people and organizations get on them. Obviously, many of us are getting fed up with spammers and are unfollowing them on Twitter and Facebook. I am also having a hard time keeping up with new subscribers on FriendFeed because I know less about them from their profiles and have to... more... - Cathryn Hrudicka

BTW, I feel like I'm finding lots of interesting new people to follow from these discussions that Robert and others are holding on FF. Cool! - Cathryn Hrudicka

Am I too late to comment and get followed? - Hichame Assi

I'm definitely around :) - KyNam Doan

Aren't you following me already? If not, you should be! LoL - Thomas Ward

I'm definitely late to be followed. :D - Faraz Mullick

I don't get it but ok :) - Parvez Halim

LOL! I follow those I find interesting and which can give me useful information. And hope someone follows me for the same reasons. - Flavio

Very interesting post - I've always thought that you guys who follow loads of people must get completely swamped by noise! Like you, I've found it useful to follow companies I use that have interesting products like Zoho and Evernote as a way of keeping up to date with their latest innovations. Excellent idea spelling out your "follow criteria" - it needs to become standard etiquette for social networks so that people don't get offended when they aren't followed back :) . - David Meredith

aren't you doing the same thing here, that you did in Twitter? Choose carefully who you follow, filling your brain with pollution doesn't make you smarter - Allison

Just finished reading the Mashable post on your unfollow exercise. It's attracting attention from all the other big names now. - George Hall (Australia)

Very interesting indeed, I only to unfollow a few, cause I just never had auto follow on.. So now I just unfollow the ones I'm bored of.. - Jaap Willem

Seems like a good idea. Although Louis Gray also has a few valid points on his latest blog post why it might be a mistake http://bit.ly/19UKxk - Silver Hage

I've never understood the auto-follow procedure on any social network. Even on Facebook, where it is obligatory, one can still lower the noise by simply hiding the updates of those who want to follow you, but perhaps also have little personal connection and therefore can be hidden. - Noah Gray

It seems like the unfollowing was the easy part. Choosing who to follow again must have been a chore. I think it is crucial in twitter (and FriendFeed for that matter) to have a clear out every six months or so otherwise you get bogged down in an information feed you don't really care about. - Chris Nixon

I can totally understand why you had to do this. I'm following 2700-ish folks on Twitter and I need 3 groups to manage it (using TweetDeck). I feel I am keeping up with most of my local community and the general tech community at large though I'm sure I'm still missing quite a bit of stuff from people who are not in the 3 groups. I also wonder how much more I can actually handle. - Ken Seto

Um... well, I made something of myself, but then I didn't like what I made, so now I'm doing it all over again. Not sure how that fits with your criteria! Plus, I really don't have a brand or any influence to speak of. I do look great in boxers, however. - Mark J

OK, OK, changed my picture. Instead of a green clock (a clock is my personal brand) I put a picture of myself. A lot of people told me to do that.... - Bora Zivkovic

I am still looking for info on holographic technology being used for news delivery. Perhaps it's a technology that hasn't even been invented yet or is sitting on a shelf somewhere. What say you? http://specialdee.wordpress.com/2009... - Denise

Hoping your new look account has had the desired effect. No need to follow me, I'm not the interesting type, I'll just be glad if your insights, links & content continues. Congrats & good luck - JanLawrence

Here's what's interesting, Robert, I've noticed an uptick in followers even if you reply or RT or like someone's tweet, not just if you follow that person. Then again, perhaps that's the intent - if you like or RT someone's idea, that's a kind of stamp of approval. - Aaman (Clone of FF)

Hej hej! - Peter

I did a purge on Facebook for the same reasons a few months ago. It's under 300 and it's people I actually care about. I've come "this close" to running a purge on Twitter but haven't yet. Maybe this will spark me to do it. I've kept FF tight from the beginning. - Rob Williams

moving from FB to FF ... fewer, longer, more meaningful threads. welcoming your follow. cheers - marc calamia

ok, you´re following me already :-) - Torsten Eckert

alright - follow me... - thx in advance Robert Scoble... - Nilesh

All that commenting in the past counts for nothing? - Kevin Gamble

Hey Robert... Great post... On FriendFeed, I increasingly put people without meaningful and valuable content on a separate feed that I rarely check... Its a more "sensible" way to unfollow, i think... I only unsubscribe if I get pissed at someone etc. I wish, FF gave users the option to only unsubscribe from comments and likes (but keep the main feed). This would be a good tool to control the noise... - Onur Kabadayi

I agree with Robert (duh!). I very briefly made the effort of checking out the new follows and deciding whether to follow back. I think once I hit a thousand I shifted to a model of occasionally saying, "If you want me to follow you, talk to me." Hit two thousand and quit saying anything or checking followers. I don't care if they follow me as long as they either say useful things like real people or don't talk at all. I've never autofollowed back. This strategy works for me. - Patricia F. Anderson

I have a large difference between people I follow (around 2000) and people who follow me (around 1800) - I choose people who are important sources of information. People choose me if they think I am an important source of information to them. I never thought it would have to be a one-to-one relationship as to who is useful to whom: some are informative, others are good listeners and learners. I learn from people I follow and I hope my followers learn from me. - Bora Zivkovic

I also think that those of us who follow larger numbers of people don't use the stream in the same way. It is more dipping in and out of the stream, trusting that the important stuff will be repeated enough to float to the top, engaging with conversations of the moment. I wrote a blogpost on this earlier this year: http://etechlib.wordpress.com/2009... - Patricia F. Anderson

Someone told me twitter can be separated into two types. (id say at least two) - Kay Proskin

Scoble, I am beginning to think you are a cult leader :). Look at all these comments! I am using FF more and more these days... Useful for eGuiders.com that's for sure. - Marc Ostrick

I'm not sure your following me. - Amit Morson

Hey Scobie :D Follow me ! - paniaguai

What the heck. Follow me if you like. I'll be as entertaining & informative as I can. - Aaron Schaub from iPod

Been considering doing the same. Your post just might be the flame that lights a fire you-know-where to get it done. - @katebuckjr

I only follow a few people and keep losing track so lord only knows how you managed to even begin to keep track of a conversation before friendfeed came along - Iain from BuddyFeed

Well done! Who need followers that aren't reading your tweets anyway. - Sean Rasmussen

I'm considering doing same once I'm more confident in my use of FriendFeed. I RT'd this and it resonated with at least one of my followers. - Tony Hollingsworth

'Hand-crafted personal network' is the meme of the moment, and whilst I can see the workmanship, where's the value going to be for you, Robert, in following this rag-tag (no offence people :) ) of folks from a gazillion different verticals. (OK, so they're mostly life scientists). - Andrew Spong

um..... - Spencer

My take: you can't be an authentic, credible voice to your community if you let 'sex & dollars' spammers hang on to your coattails. Spam followers matter.... in a bad way. Allowing them to be associated with you diminishes your potential value to genuine followers. It's a pain. It takes time. It's worth doing. More on this, if interested: http://tr.im/vJwb - Andrew Spong

Hope to see more "old fashioned blogging", like it better than tweets. Tweets are bound to disappear into oblivion the moment they're posted. - Willem (@wim66) ☠

"Spam followers matter.... in a bad way." - I certainly agree with this. I block pornbots just as quickly as they follow me. I'm less vigilant about the commercial follows, but usually they go away by themselves after a while. - John Craft

You're already following me here (don't care about twitter tough), so i just hope you don't un-follow, even though you probably don't understand what i'm talking about most of the time, since it's in portuguese. - Diego Sana

So what happened to the advantages to following so many people you always talked about? - Bas

Thanks for connecting here, still learning all the advantages of FF - carece

@Andrew Regarding spam followers and the idea that allowing them to follow you somehow dilutes your credibility, I just have to disagree. To me that places the burden on the wrong person. I don't have time to waste pruning those who follow me, unless they are overtly annoying.My stream is public, they can follow me anyway. What matters to me is that the spammers leave me alone. If they don't, I block them. If they keep quiet, I don't care. - Patricia F. Anderson

What is important is not who follows me, but who *I* follow. - Patricia F. Anderson

Follow me if you want, but I gotta warn ya, it's scintillating stuff! - Pierce Presley

Funny my twitter feed is much noisier but I have been very selective on who I follow. I have tried to make the feed relevant and actionable. At times I post things that seem out of the norm on my twitter feed but that is mainly for the few people who follow me that don't get it but I am trying to keep up their interest level. I also control who follows me, yes this breaks the model but I think the follow everyone model was broken and reckless - Richard Gallo

Am I interesting? Dunno. I'm often controversial, tho. ;) BTW, we met in person at a Pittsburgh Blogfest, but I really don't expect you to remember that. - Eric Williams

Enjoyed the post. I just started Twitter a few days ago to get away from Facebook. I like friendfeed the best - can't wait until it becomes more mainstream. - Robby Parker

Awesome move. Consider that my comment please :) - Charlotte Barker

friendfeed is definitively more evolved that Twitter. Conversely, user bases of Twitter is still its real (and unique) point of strenght... - Marco Castellani

Don't want you to follow me (unless you find my stream of interest) but it's quite interesting the number of people that comment to get you to follow! - Ben Drury

Hey Robert! So, I would like to talk to you about a social media company I'm working with right now. They launched a few months ago and their trajectory and momentum is pretty amazing. Oh, and I started unfollowing the noise in my Twitter after I commented on your blog post. - Gregg Le Blanc

Great ideas. I've been selective (though it fluctuates) about following people/accounts on Twitter since I joined about 2 years ago. I can't take too much noise. - Joe Lance from twhirl

I'm asking the same thing Bas asked... what about your video on the benefits of following so many people? I took a stab at that method of madness by starting to follow all kinds of people, and following anyone that followed me... but I always felt like I was missing good content from good people because of all the "spam". I started to use TweetDeck to create groups/columns for... more... - Timothy Federwitz

@Patricia - reminds me that I should probably review all my twitter followers and thin things down. :) - JA Castillo

thanks - Keith

I like conversing with interesting people. Sometimes that means commenting to get followed, @cogiva. ;) - Eric Williams

Hi Scoble! - Pete Gilbert

I did almost the same thing - unfollowed about 1000 from my 1500, no attention is way better - Maarten den Braber

Couldn't agree more. It's about time we all grew up. BTW Don't follow me. :-) - Gee Ranasinha

Robert what's the deal with Twitter? - stockmanmarc

Your post makes good sense. I didn't auto-follow & still find folks to unfollow because their noise gets too loud. - Debra Ellis

Very clever. I imagine the signal to noise is sooooo much better. - Chris Brogan

I've been thinking about unfollowing a bunch twitter folks as well. I'll look at SocialToo again. My initial experience with SocialToo wasn't good. However, it was during their infancy. - Ron Hudson

I don't blame you at all. Leo was all over that yesterday. - Daniel B. Honigman

why would simply leaving a comment prompt you to follow me? - David Wescott

You're not going to change your mind and mass unfollow us are you? - walidmREALTOR

Sup! :-) - Jon Winters

I suspect it identifies you as a real person interested in dialog, David. - Eric Williams

Followers are currency and you have plenty to spend - Lee Odden

Bob, did you do anything on Twitter recently ? Did you massively refollow people ? Seems like you screwed up Twitter : down for a while... ;-) - Enikao

Follow me! @carloscomputers - carloscomputers

very cool timing with just before twitter goes down hard! well done Robert! @crbrowning - Colin

@davidorban - David Orban

I've followed you and have really enjoyed your posts. I think I would miss that - Tom

Good to hear that your experiment has stopped the spam @lindsaydavies - Lindsay Davies

ciao Robert! - FullSite

Your ego is amazing. You make it seem like it is a special deal to be followed by you. I'm glad there are many very bright, talented people here who follow others, regardless of class, education, social status and not based on some snobbish criteria. - RuthNH

DON'T follow me! I write in Italian :-) - Lorenzo Strambi

Here I be - Robert

Wow, this is a lot of comments. And kudos for following Followable people who have something interesting to contribute to your day. I'm glad you did it, because that means you'll find AND share more interesting things. This, in turn, makes you more followable too. Thanks for seeing the light, so to speak. - ax0n

You killed twitter. - Melissa Pierce

and now with twitter down, many will flock to here! - Mark V. Fusco

I love rob - Mark from iPhone

Did this take down Twitter this morning Robert? - frank barry

That must of taken a long time :-) I've always been a fan of twitter, but I must say they have struggled in the last few weeks. We are working with their API on a project and their seems to be an issue every other day that causes problems. Do they have what it takes? - Chris Nadeau

I follow under 200 people and it's great. I can't imagine 1k+ . I add about three or four a month. - Mike Janicke

I unfollow people when I find I ignore their tweets/updates. After reading your blog, I think we ALL need to be more judicious. - Janet Barker-Evans

Is this why Twitter is down? LOL! Can't check to see if you unfollowed me. Hope not. You, Shel Israel, and Jeremiah Owyang were some of the very first people I followed way back before Twitter even had 100,000 people on the service. -- It's been a fun ride but, of course, the spammers always show up to make things difficult. - Brenda Young

How do you really know if you should be following someone until you follow them for a while? Sometimes I don't start talking to someone until I see a common interest, then I tweet back and we start talking, but that could be months later. I don't follow everyone back, but I follow back those that interact. I will unfollow once I see that won't happen, or I don't like their tweets. - Nadine Gilden

Twitter is victime of it own success, they have to re learn how to scal better, but more important they have to learn to share better. - abdellah

looks like you'll need to follow at least 343 people LOL - Shari Weiss

Friendfeed takes over for twitter finally? - Thomas Resing

@Patricia I don't want potential followers to be put off by who is following me. I wouldn't want them to think I care more about have n+1 followers than I do about what they're going to see if they review who I've allowed to follow me. Not to cull spammers suggests I care more about my experience than theirs. To a great extent, the quality of their experience will determine the quality... more... - Andrew Spong

1600 ... isn't that a big number too? It could be you'll think again before you follow every one here :) - Mario Gastaldi

Hi... do I get a follow? - Jason Mayoff

If you are already following me. Will you double follow me? :) - Brady

Hi Robert!! :) - Zaneology from Nambu

Still waiting for my Building 43 t-shirt. Not that I'm bitter or anything. ;-) - Donna Tuttle

Be sure to come by Dallas when you swing through Texas! - Zaneology from Nambu

Respect your opinion Robert but we'll have to agree to disagree. Yes I despise all the FakePornSpamBots who follow me. I block as many as I can, but can't keep up. Our views differ regarding what is important to SEE! I treasure home Home stream! I read it, refresh, read, refresh and in minutes I have the pulse of the world... at least MY world! EVERYONE has something of value to share at some point. If I UNfollow tens of thousands, I will miss so much worthy of consideration. - Arleen Boyd

Just another reason why it's good to diversify, I can still read your posts here. :) - Luis Sandoval

Cheers! - Jeff Wiant

Funny. I was catching up on news on Friendfeed for some odd reason. Great post; plenty for new and long-time users alike to consider there. - Alex Howard

I'm still waiting for the ultimate tool to manage my followings - I can only manage to keep up with about 1/3 of those following me. I'd love to see something that can tell me what friends of mine also follow those that I am or those that are following me. Maybe it's out there and I missed it? - TheDiva Rockin

Anyone interested in assessing the quality of their followers should check http://tweetblocker.com. It's pretty chastening. I aim to improve on my C rating. http://www.buzzom.com is a fun, fast way of decoupling yourself from non-reciprocal followers. You can select individuals to purge, or flush 50 random non-reciprocal followers at a time. - Andrew Spong

Robert, your timing could not be better. ;-) - Dave Martin

Great post, with perfect timing! Dang it, Dave Martin just took it off my lips. - Vadim Lavrusik

I hereby rename this comment thread neoTwitter <waves at followers> - Andrew Spong

/me waves - Kevin Johnson from iPhone

Awww, you gotta admit, saturation, the level of influence that you have, because of your high follower, count, is a tool of mass destruction. Seriously, did you think if you recommend an online service that people would not try it out? Was this an asassination attempt - Peter Murphy

I'm glad i'm not the only one who misses /me actions from IRC, Kevin. ;) - Eric Williams

With today's Twitter outage your timing is pretty stinking good, Robert. :) - Chris Cree

Now to get the rest of the world to follow that same logic when it comes to follow/unfollow! I only started being more selective as Twitter (and everyone else) started getting aggressive with spammers or anyone that even remotely did a single spammy tweet. Now if only there were the same contact management tools available for the other social networks as with Twitter. No matter what though, I'll continue updating my status when I eat a peanut butter sandwich! (With Fluff of course!). - Paul Monaco

Twitter couldn't handle the mass unfollow load, blew up... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

I've been followed by Robert Scoble :-) - David Finch

Follow iPolitics - Jacob Kobi Gamliel

Now I think that it is time to think about a way to make money using Twitter. - abdellah

@Mark, +1. When in doubt, the default delegation of blame goes to Robert. - Dave Martin

what is critical mass for twitter? Too few and nobody interacts, Too many and spam bots overwhelm, Is it 1K or 2K needed to get a real experience? - WarLord

Hmm can you unsubscribe from "comment notification via e-mail" in FF on a *specific* topic? This one :-) - Patrick Mackaaij

Of course I thonk it is a different experience if you hand follow reading each bio from the beginning then these mass purges are unnecessary - WarLord

I thought you already followed me. lol - Duane @PreppyDude Myers

Not sure if you do, but here I am... - Aron Michalski

I am intrigued how RT addict will RT now?!! (ps: FF please don't post this to my twitter) - abdellah

I have been keeping my twitter account private a majority of the time lately b/c I am going through a divorce, but I really kinda like it. Have been reducing followers as well as the number I follow. - Jackson Miller

You should follow me here in FF and on Twitter too! - Karthi

hopefully most of us have proven our worth beyond commenting on this single thread - andy brudtkuhl

I like the way you operate, Scoble. Thanks in advance for the follow! - Dr. Frank Ramblings, Ph.D

Nice way of doing it... - Charles

No need to follow me unless you are actually going to engage in conversation with me. - Jeff Hurt

If you're already following and we comment, will you unfollow? *wink Hoping all is well your way! - Dayngr

4&5 are my favorite! Those are big reasons I decide to follow someone too. - Kelly Mitton

I'm lucky. Have never had Twitter spam. But then again I'm no Scoble either :) - Lori Reed

I am the peanut butter eating bot - Benjamin Spector

I'll add my name to the list. I came back to FF after the Twitter DoS outage. Maybe Scoble broke Twitter by all his unfollowing. He was the "glue" holding Twitter together. :-) - Tom Newman

Robert: Here's the bit you missed off the end of your title here: .... and put them in that group I don't read :-) - Jim Connolly

add me for your social media and the practice of law news! - Rex Gradeless

Great post. I'm sure that some people might say that this kind of mass unfollowing will hurt Twitter, but I think it's just the opposite. Users who are following people they have no interest in just to pad their own numbers are diminishing the meaning of "following." - Mark Denton

@Ulrichmargarita - Ulrichmargarita

I don't know how you ever did it the other way. I am not in the tech world near as much as I used to be, which wasn't a whole lot. I just followed some random people I saw on SMugMug-related people on here when I started. You were one of them. I had no idea who you were (and still don't :-), but you talked about Twitter a lot too, which got me on there as well. Both services have really... more... - James Schipper

Follow away! - Ferdinand Perez

Quality over quantity in all things, including (perhaps especially) Twitter. Loved your friending methodology -- those are the same rules I've applied since being on Twitter.

I started out following everyone on Twitter.Then I got wise. When someone's stream becomes more noise than signal, that's when I consider unfollowing. I realize that threshhold is different for everyone, but I'll take "what I had for lunch" over a dozen bogus "marketing tips" any day. - Julie Barrett from twhirl

Well, I am trying to use FriendFeed more after watching Scoble's video on all those monitors he had up. I'm not a big consumer of information and don't own a TV but this online social stuff has been a perfect fit into my life because I can connect with people who are fountains of knowledge on a specific subject or are "human mashups". I like both! - Adria Richards

Why !? - Bertrand Soulier from iPhone

I've been reading al of this unfollow bits, and this point of yours: - Donna

Hey, I think that today you might make your point about FriendFeed being more interesting than Twitter. Hope you are well. Talked with @fransteps this morning and she is excited to work with you at Rackspace. - Kami Huyse

hi - George Desmyter

I've been reading all of this un-follow posts lately, and this point of yours in WHY you unfollowed: "#2 Because I personally care about everyone I am following their noise level is a LOT lower. ." Is exactly what I do. And now I am starting to understand Friendfeed more. and using posterous to do aggregate posts. So is this overload making more people sit up and think first? I think so. At least the intelligent ones. - Donna

I love you Scoble! ;) - Carol Levesque

with all due sycophantism :) - jeff hammond

This is a great move, Robert. It's also a lot more human...I was almost convinced that you were the only person who could actually drink from the fire hose without choking. - Steffan Antonas

That sounds fair. After this morning, I've renewed my love for FriendFeed and Tweetworks. Until the next DDos attacks, of course. I will miss the fake porn stars, but I did when I moved from L.A. - Scott Pierce

Steffan; I agree...there is no way anyone else could do what Robert S. does. It's good to see him become human. - Robert Jones

This has been my problem for about the past six months. I routinely go in and unfollow, get the noise level down to where I want it, and then end up following back a bunch of new people, some of whom I'm incredibly grateful to get to know. When I had track, it was a whole lot easier to manage the stream, but I suspect even that tool would now be out of hand. I have a set of rules for... more... - Karoli

hee hee. i am commenting not so much to beg your follow but what a clever pitch:) - Tresha Thorsen

Robert - I have not read all 416 comments so if this was asked and you answered forgive me. What was the all of a sudden revelation that caused you to reverse stance on Twitter Followers? - Jeff Vreeland

It's difficult to maintain and filter a list on all the social networking sites. I cannot even imagine maintaining the kinds of lists you must deal with, Robert. - Jeremy Brooks

Dude, you broke Twitter! When you unfollowed all of your 100,000 the other day you pulled the rug right out from under it, so it fell down and now it can't reach its beer. :-) - Robert Morrison

Actually I felt rather sad being fav'ed by you on FriendFeed then dumped.. But again. I get more from you from FriendFeed, so oh well, stop talking about Following and Get on more with Tech! :P - Du Senyao Peter

Me Me! lol! - MrBill

i like the idea of importing favorite tweets into friendfeed. i haven't used that favorite feature much because i haven't seen any real use in it. thanks! - Jonathan Blundell

When twitter is down I always wish I could tweet: checkout friendfeed. Nevertheless, how will following folk that leave a message here really improve the quality of your input? While I don't want to judge many of the fine folk on this thread, are they all that interesting? In other words, isn't this the start of the same problem you had on Twitter... - Jon Mountjoy

what like here? this is a comment :) - michelle harris

Well to bounce back on your Twitter is down comment I think it is time to watch this video again http://www.youtube.com/watch... Hilarious! - 77Agency

Robert, I'm glad you decided to stop auto-follow (finally). :) - Veronica Sopher

I'm in - Jeroen Sangers from Nambu

works for mw - Brendan Jackson from twhirl

Robert, but why clutter your FriendFeed stream? This comment is not to get you to courtesy follow me on FriendFeed, think you've established you've changed your thinking. :) - L.P. NEENZ FALEAFINE

OK, I have enough people to follow so I will close the comments on this thread. Thank you everyone, I will try to get to everyone today. - Robert Scoble

Are you saying what I think you are saying? - Martha

42 more comments

You will not argue against me, in this thread. *jedi mind trick* - Jimminy, CoG of FF

crankeh bunneh is crankeh! - Joe The Sausage

Do you really feel so unsure of yourself that you need to announce such a truism? ("obvious truism" would be fishing for a rebuttal). - ianf ⌘

Do you really feel the need to test my resolve on this matter, given that I have already demonstrated the traits and behavior I've listed above in other threads, thus perpetuating your need to restate the obvious? - Steven Perez

Is this sort of post really necessary? If someone wants to engage you, they probably fall into one of two camps: someone who knows your history of combativeness, and therefore knows what they are getting into; or a drive-by commenter who is not worthy of your effort. Those who fall outside of these two camps should probably take a moment to read some of your posts (comments included) and grow a thick enough skin not to be bothered by your vociferous rebuttal. - Bren

Bren: yep. Because I still have people who seem surprised when I do argue with them at length. - Steven Perez

Bring on the Jedi Mind Tricks Versus the Time travelling - sits next to Haggis with Popcorn - Brent - Yes I am

Oh, and Jedi Mind Tricks don't work on people who use psychic paper. - Steven Perez from IM

No, they only work on the weak willed - WoH: Minding her Steves

Damn. Well that takes a lot of the fun out of it. - Brent - Yes I am

Answering a question with another question, especially of an escalative-threat variety, is in itself a sign of weakness of resolve; and, as for Restating The Obvious, this should have been my middle name, if [1] it weren't so long to write, and [2] wasn't so obvious. - ianf ⌘

*sigh* Are you really that desperate for an argument that you have to go looking for one? - Steven Perez

Absolutely not! I am merely a Drive-By Asker of Topical Questions which, I note, still haven't been answered to me liking. - ianf ⌘

Ah, I see. YOUR liking. - Steven Perez

The fact of the matter is Steven, you're a bunneh and have long ears and a fluffy tail, and honestly there is nothing you can do about it. - Geoff Schultz {TF}

One out of three isn't bad, Geoff. - Steven Perez

ME liking (there's a difference vs. my/ mine). So far you haven't delivered on any of your promises –what was I thinking?– so I'm gonna be driving on to better hunting grounds elsewhere. - ianf ⌘

Finally! - Steven Perez

Just watch this space [mission accomplished]. - ianf ⌘

Kinda resembles the one between your ears. - Steven Perez

That's a message best delivered on the deck of an aircraft carrier. - Geoff Schultz {TF}

I don't know, noise of jet engines is bound to make it misunderestimated. - ianf ⌘

Don't worry. After I strap you into the catapult without a jet, it won't make any difference. - Steven Perez

I'm a die-hard hetero, Steven, I never let a man lay a hand on my body. So strapping is out of the question (speaking if which, where ARE the answers?) - ianf ⌘

I mention a piece of military hardware, and the first thing that pops into your head is something about teh gay? - Steven Perez

I can almost hear the gears grinding, trying to come up with a pithy comeback. - Steven Perez

Oh, and just saying: if you're trying to prove how straight you are, you might want to choose another phrase which doesn't contain the word "hard". - Steven Perez

Oh yeah, bring on the sexual innuendo versus the Time travelling thingy. - Brent - Yes I am

Credit where credit is due, Geoff was the one who brought up military hardware [oops! another instance of "hard-," Steven will have a rupture]; you were the one into strapping. Which, at least far as I heard, in BDSM terms is of strictly heterosexual variety. Whereas what you promised from the start, vociferous arguments for arguments' sake[*], is entirely missing. [^*] a.k.a. Japanese rice wine. - ianf ⌘

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Way to try to deflect bringing up your sexual hangups. - Steven Perez

this is like the longest version of Monty Python's argument sketch ever. - Joe The Sausage

No no no, the parrot has yet to make an entrance. Unless Steven really is the Parrot, not the Bunneh (given scarcity of arguments I wouldn't know). - ianf ⌘

Was this really a warning or an open invitation to match wits? (just wondering) - April

Oops. I was looking for verbal abuse. I'll move along. ;-) - Julie Barrett from twhirl

<Graham Chapman>Aha! No, you want room 12A, next door. *smile* ...stupid git.</Graham Chapman> - Joe The Sausage

ok. ;o) keep ya hair on ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Steven++ for using "Vociferously" - Rah-PM 2012

It's just a highfalutin way of extending a yawp. Get over it. - ianf ⌘

Are you back again? - Steven Perez

You are so asking for it... - amygeek

WAS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP! - Joel Robert Perez

WAAAAAAAAASSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPP! - Steven Perez

Wait - what happened to the Pithy commentary? No sleeping allowed on FF. Goes back for Popcorn refill. - Brent - Yes I am

I think locking should only be available the owner of the thread is the only commenter. - Kol Tregaskes

49 more comments

what they could allow is the reader to show or not show comments. expand or collapse. - SolidSmack

I won't be using this to stop a thread when it gets 'out of hand'. I'll use it for announcements and sticky posts. - Kol Tregaskes

I'm not saying it's wrong for FF to add this functionality by the way. I'm just saying 100% that I will never ever ever use this feature not once and that if someone uses it consistently I'll probably stop commenting on their items. - Thomas Hawk

I'd also like to see the ability to make an individual thread private. - Kol Tregaskes

Just Sunday I got sucked into yet another conversation about Flickr deleting another user's account without warning or explanation only to have the thread locked by flickr staff. I think the offense there was that I called someone a sycophant and someone else accused me of wearing a tinfoil hat. Really stupid things to lock a thread over, but then again flickr staff was probably eager... more... - Thomas Hawk

What about inviting people to view private threads too? Sort of like Flickr's or Picasa's "Guest Pass" option for specific photos? - Tyson Key

LOL. Yeah it's how it's used and also policed that is important. It's open to abuse! :-( - Kol Tregaskes

Tyson, you mean DMing? - Kol Tregaskes

Aah, good point Kol. But I'm thinking of adding people after the fact. - Tyson Key

(I don't think you can do that at present, short of trying to reshare a DM and hoping that the recipient sees it as you want) - Tyson Key

Tyson, yep but that's a generally suggestion, i.e. the ability to add/remove feeds for existing entries. Definitely needed. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

thomashawk That what I am afraid of also, that people will stop conversation just because people disagree with them, or say something they don't like. Conversation can be pretty boring if there is no argument. - Kim Landwehr from IM

exactly Kim. I fear that people will abuse this tool, like they've done at flickr. They (Flickr staff) literally locked a thread I was participating in on Sunday because someone accused me of wearing a tinfoil hat. Who the hell cares if someone accuses me of wearing a tinfoil hat? A totally stupid thing for Flickr to lock a thread over. I'm not worried about FF staff locking threads at least, but some members here with especially thin skin could abuse this. - Thomas Hawk

In hindsight, I'm actually a little surprised to see thread/commenting muting get more backlash than "vanilla" deletion or even editing them (but I feel that lets people get away with "putting words in each other's mouths" as so to speak), given that it's non-destructive to the content/existence of the said comments. Still, there are plenty of ways around it, but I disagree in general with thread muting. - Tyson Key

the other thing is, I suspect if heated conversations do get locked you'll simply see the most heated participants start new threads saying things like, "Since that Prick so and so just locked this thread over here (with link) I thought I'd restart the conversation here where it can happen uncensored." Not sure how effective this will be, but at least for the user who locked the thread it will keep additional comments off their blog if they've got that plug in installed. - Thomas Hawk

Thomas, exactly. Thankfully re-sharing is not affected by disabled commenting. - Kol Tregaskes

Will group admins on FF be allowed to lock threads not started by them in groups that they admin on FF? Or will only the originator of a thread be allowed to lock it? - Thomas Hawk

I'll find out... ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Yes. - Kol Tregaskes

I can see reasons for this. I'm an admin at a forum and sometimes I have to lock a thread because the "conversation" degenerates into a pointless argument between two people. Generally, it's a "time out." Sometimes I'll split the pointless argument into another thread (because nine times out of ten the argument is off-topic) and reopen. When two (or more people) bring their personal feud to ANY topic, it's distracting and kills conversation. - Julie Barrett

Imagine if we had this when the Art Incident(TM) happened a while ago. I could have seen things degenerating into even more chaos... :( - Tyson Key

yeah, it does look like group admins can lock threads in their groups not started by them. Oh well. I don't use groups very much anyways. - Thomas Hawk

Art Incident? - Kol Tregaskes

Your reshare of the DeviantArt photo of the angsty lady in red, of course, Kol. ;) - Tyson Key

I see, I wouldn't have disabled comments though. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

I would have done what I did in the thread and tried to ease the anger. I think disabling commenting there is where the feature could be deemed as being abused. Like I say if you use it for announcements and stickies then fine. But preferably I'd like to disable comments from the start, post the comments then re-enable them. - Kol Tregaskes

So I'll probably not use the feature at all. - Kol Tregaskes

"This thread has been Arringtonned", Andy? ;) - Tyson Key

I think if FFers abuse the disable comments feature to shut down disagreement, then they'll start losing followers or getting blocked themselves. I doubt that I would use it myself unless a thread got really off-topic (and not in a good way) or somehow became abusive. Simple name-calling isn't itself a good reason to shut down a discussion. - John (bird whisperer)

John, tell that to Flickr Staff. Apparently they think simple-name calling is in itself a good reason to shut down a discussion-- especially if the discussion is critical of their employer Yahoo/Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/help... They also think it's ok to edit the OP's critical words in addition to shutting his thread down. - Thomas Hawk

Perhaps an interesting alternative is to permit the disable comment feature only on threads with zero comments. After the first comment the option is disabled. What do you think of this possibility? - guillaume sempe from iPhone

Guillaume, I like that option better myself, but I imagine it runs contrary to why this tool was implemented in the first place. - Thomas Hawk from iPhone

I agree! There needs to be a better way to quell the 'mob'. - Jeff P. Henderson

very true! censorship sucks! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

"There needs to be a better way to quell the 'mob'" how about respect? - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

+1 Guillaume and Igor. Sadly, respect isn't something that can be enforced by the touch of a button, as nice as that would be to see, in a perfect world... :( - Tyson Key

Tyson, that is why we need to to protect respect, because we are losing it. Blocks do not foster respect and never will. If I see you one a street, are you going to Block me? Are you going to call police and say, "I blocked this guy!" LOL - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Not at all. - Tyson Key

arguments and fights do not start by themselves. U may disagree with someone but there is no need to call that person a Troll or a Jerk. Imagine if you call someone a Jerk or a Troll on a street! LOL - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

I like trolls. I think they generally make the conversations more interesting personally. - Thomas Hawk

oh thanks Thomas, u can adopt me! ;-) - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Will http://forcryingoutloudpeanut.... do, in the meantime? ;) - Tyson Key

;-) should I change my avatar? hahahha - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Igor, I've already got four kids and can't be adopting any more trolls. But I certainly appreciate a good troll when they decide to show up. - Thomas Hawk

thanx, I will try to come around from time to time, as long as there is food! LOL - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

I like trolls, they stamp around a lot arguing and shouting and live under bridges, oh wait what do you mean not those trolls Dang sorry please continue - Kim Landwehr

Locking threads or disabling comments stops it being a conversation. There's no point in putting your stuff out there unless you are going to talk about. Unless of course you ego is too small to take criticism, but if you were really that shy/easily bruised, why woul dyou put your stuff out there at all?? - Paul OFlaherty

that's it, I'm locking this thread. I'm tired of all you damn people. - Thomas Hawk

thread locked - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

just joking. - Thomas Hawk

I just know they're going to say stuff like "Tell me about yourself" and "Talk about a time where you had to think outside the box." Oh, and "What are your weaknesses" I hate that one. It's a really hard question :) - Rah-PM 2012

GL Rah...knock 'em dead. - Mark Krynsky

You have no weaknesses..."What are your weaknesses" is such a hackneyed interview question because everyone knows that you pick your strength and show how you turned a weakness in to a strength when all you really did was exploit your strengths. "Why do you want to work here" is a much better question. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I HAVE NO WEAKNESSES, MEATBAG. - Mo Kargas

I have an answer for that one. I think this company is as close to working for a startup as I'm going to get. Work environment is casual with a focus on creativity and working independently. Still researching them, but I think they are fairly new. - Rah-PM 2012

My Mum doesn't have a computer. She has a mobile phone but has no idea how to send or read an SMS, though we've showed her a zillion times. She can however work a CD player and a DVD player. - ☆ Mellyboo ☆

I think somebody *can* be a social media expert, and I define such an expert as an individual that can get a community interested in something. There are just ever-changing ways to accomplish this. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

I think there are too may self-proclaimed "social media experts." Maybe it's just me, but it seems like every other non-spammer who follows me on Twitter is one. There aren't THAT many in the world. - Julie Barrett from twhirl

Robert, you're bringing Milan to NYC in October? Nice. :) - Tamar Weinberg

How did that rumor start? Nope, no Milan to NYC. - Robert Scoble

oh, no play dates then as I probably won't be traveling to anywhere in a long time! - Tamar Weinberg

Hey Tamar your baby is "liked" by over 220 people and it's just a few days into this world, not too shabby. - SteVe C

Baby boy is resting on mommy's chest as she leans back on a chair updating her FriendFeed. As for the other questions... he doesn't have a name yet. His Bris will be Thursday and we'll name him during the ceremony. The only video the hubby took was me calling his great grandma while the doctor was yelling at me to put my phone down (no, I couldn't actually tweet that I was pushing. I did it as soon as I could!) ;) Weight: 5lb 14oz at birth. - Tamar Weinberg

Congratulations!!! Awesome news. And yet I'm so freaked out that you're Tweeting an hour after giving birth. Good lord, rest a bit! - Dana Todd

Welcome to parenthood! Your FriendFeed time is now officially reduced. ;>) - Larry Hawes

haha Dana, I'm such a computer nerd/workaholic. I didn't even take a real maternity leave. - Tamar Weinberg

Congratulations! - Emee Pumarega

Wonderful... Congratulations on your new baby boy! - Mitchell Tsai

Wow Tamar! I had no idea! Congratulations! :) - Michelle Tripp

I clearly do. Scoble believes that few people do...I just think that few people socialize within Google Reader - Zee.

250 more comments

Only via Feedly (in Flock). Does that count as a no? - Ruud van Wijngaarden

no - Farshad

Yup. - Kol Tregaskes

yeah, for sure that counts Ruud - Zee.

Absolutely -- and sticking with it -- Google can do big things with it - Christopher Galtenberg

Indirectly, through Feedly. - Grey Drane

I use it for the few valuable feeds that I can't receive anywhere else...But overall, FF and Twitter have replaced it. - Chris Rossini

Yep. I agree, few socialize in GReader. - Tanath

Yup, but through its API in Eventbox. I understand R Scoble says a lot of things. - ɯɥøq sɐɯoɥʇ

Yep! - Julie Barrett from twhirl

yes - Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど

Yes, I do! - Filipe Rodrigues

Yep, but I don't really connect with people there. I just read stuff. If I want to talk about something, I share it here. - Jandy

Clearly my most used online app, so yes. All the other tools revolve around it in my world. My dad read the newspaper every morning, I read Google Reader all day. - Bwana ☠

Yes, it's still the best way to track blogs that write about stuff I like. - arjo

Yes, but only from feedly - Philippe Mongeau

YEah. I used to use Feeddemon but I like having my feeds synced over multiple devices with the least amount of hassle. Google Reader works perfectly for that. - Bhavishya Kanjhan

I use it, but I don't use it in a social way. - Lix

Of course! I also use FF a lot, but it didn't actually reduce my activity on Greader - stanjourdan

Yup - Simon Wicks

I use Google Reader almost every day - Peter Stuifzand

Yes. I used to use Bloglines, but I like Google Reader much better. - Joey Gibson

Yes, by far the best RSS reader I've tried. - Martin Bryant

All day long. - Graham English

yes all the time :) - comix aka martha

No. - امیر؟

Yes, I do :) - María A.

how do you you read your news Amir? - Zee.

Yes, but not directly, I skim entries via my program ( http://ff.im/38Yl8 ), if I am interested I click. So to FF/twitter/gmail/and other urgent feeds - yjl

Occasionally. - Son of Groucho

Yep. Still use Google Reader. - Beau Liening

Yes, quite a bit. - Dustin Sallings

Yes, since 2006. I used Bloglines and Sage (Firefox add-on) before. - LouCypher

No. I stopped using it a long time ago when I switched to FeedDemon, then I stopped using that too (keeping up with 200+ feeds was just too much). Now, I use Gmail's Web Clips with 14 feeds (including the feed for popular bookmarks on Delicious). If the item is new and the title is interesting enough, I click. Still, I keep saying to myself: "I should go back to FeedDemon someday." - Yaser Sulaiman

yep - Rich

yes - AJ Kohn

the best app to read news and keep track of favorite blogs ~ Google reader - Srikanth AD

Duh. - Louis Gray

Yes a lot - M F

yes sure, most of the time via feedly though - Naor Mark

Yes..it's the only RSS reader I use. - Bill Johnson

yup, Tried a few others but always went back to Greader, now using Feedly to read my feeds with. - Anthony C.

No, never. - Ton Zijp

@Louis Gray you say 'Duh' but Scoble doesn't believe so - Zee.

Yes, I do. Not regularly though. - Just Katie

Yes, usually daily. - Antoniu

Occasionally - Lu Liu

Yes. It's one of the few things I can access from work so sometimes it's my only contact with the outside world. - Michael Hocter

I use it quite often. Have a widget on my iGoogle home page and still really like the iPhone interface. - David Imielski

Yes, I read from several different computers. GReader is great. - David Slattery

Tried it, don't use it. - Bruce Lewis

I use Bloglines. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Use it occasionally. - Jack&Cleo

Daily. I love it. - Andrew

yup - vijay

I setup google reader with a few local news links, so if I share something it's sent to friendfeed and then twitter. dont use it alot, forget to. I have FF, I let other people find interesting links for me to read. - Mike Nencetti

Yes - matthew john ernisse

Yes, love it. Also the mobile version and with feedly. - TobiasVerhoog.com

Yes via Feedly, which shakes it up and presents it magazine style. - Kate Foy

Yes, sort of - Will Higgins™

yes every day. - G Dub of the Carolinas

Yes. Best. Feed reader. Ever. - Jason Mayoff from Nambu

Via Feedly - Grant Bierman

Yup from me. Love GR. - Roger Benningfield

now where's Scoble at? I wanna gloat... :P - Zee.

Most people say RSS is dead because Twitter takes over by being real time. The issue with that is that we ourselves cannot be available real time, all the time. RSS helps you cache that information to make it available when you cannot be in the stream. - Bhavishya Kanjhan

well said Bhavishya - Zee.

I use it, but don't socialize with it - xero

Zee: gloat? With a few dozen comments? Come on, please do be real. I have 89,000 followers on Twitter, 5,000 on facebook, 38,000 on friendfeed. When you get close to those numbers let me know. Then I'll let you gloat. - Robert Scoble

@Scoble How do you mean "what I get close to those numbers?" - can you clarify - Zee.

Use it, but not as a social tool. - invariant

Robert: I don't think he wants to gloat about his numbers. It's about the fact that a lot of people still do use Google Reader or other RSS Readers; they just don't socialise with it as much as they do with Twitter or FF. - Bhavishya Kanjhan

Yes, but I feel I'm wasting to much time with it. Browsing entire RSS feeds is not really targeted and Google Reader doesn't filter. - Oliver Bouchard

I use it for my feedreading, but not socially. - Scott Bulloch

I'm still waiting to hear what Scoble's crap about "89,000 followers on Twitter, 5000 on facebook and 38,000 on Friendfeed" was about. - Zee.

Yes I do! - Victor Ryden 美久太阿

Nope - RAPatton

naa, he'll respond - at least i hope so. Because I'm really hoping i'm wrong about what i think he was implying there. - Zee.

yes I do = but I am quickly finding FriendFeed and Twitter replacing some of the feeds I used to subscribe to. - Tony

Yes! I use Google Reader constantly, in my web browser and on my iPhone. I have RSS feeds set up for my common Twitter searches, too. I also use Yahoo Pipes that I've developed over time to have very targeted RSS feeds. But I don't socialize via Reader. - Kurt Rosenkranz

Yes, I still use Google Reader, voraciously. It has NOTHING to do with comments/followers. Rather, GReader is a tool for being better informed. Sometimes I use my GReader learnings in the real world - in conversation - where we don't formally have followers and such. - Mike Reynolds

R.Scoble: What do follower numbers have to say in this matter, or at all ? I thought you had a statement about quantity vs quality some time ago as well ? - ɯɥøq sɐɯoɥʇ

I use NewsFire, and occasionally Resc Newws! on my PalmOS phone. I guess I haven't joined the "everything's in the cloud" revolution yet. - Joshua Lee

<whisper> I've never used it. </whisper> - Derrick

Thomas: follower users tell you how many people use a service and map pretty closely how many people are using a service, if you can see them in aggregate. - Robert Scoble

Zee: it's not what 80+ people on friendfeed say. It's how many people ACTUALLY use these services. Google Reader just doesn't have the numbers. My follower numbers are a very accurate indicator of that. - Robert Scoble

R. Scoble: people follow more people on Twitter than on Facebook because Facebook means you share a lot of information, so I'm not sure if those numbers mean much in the way of that. - Joshua Lee

@Scoble But how do you know how many people use Google Reader? - Zee.

I don't use google reader, and I use twitter, facebook, and a bit of friendfeed. ;-) - Joshua Lee

But Robert, I use GReader EVERY DAY, but I'm not really socially connected with anyone on it. GReader's main function can be used without any social integration at all - so how many people follow you or vice versa isn't really relevant. Even leaving aside the issue of whether number of followers is relevant at all - it certainly isn't relevant when the core function of a service isn't connecting with other people, but consuming content. - Jandy

Yes: it is a convenient tracking system and I like the email alerts - Anita Hunt

I use google alerts without GReader - Joshua Lee

GReader != social - Mike Reynolds

Yes. It's an essential daily tool for must-read feeds, as well as for discovery. Social media does not give me the same content as my must-read feeds. - Tinfoil 2.0

Sometimes feeds generate data for social media.... I share a lot of links via email and occasionally facebook or twitter. - Joshua Lee

No. Currently it does not cater for my feed reader needs. - Vidar Andersen

I used to use a similar online newsreader, bloglines I think it is called, but after a while I found having to check a website unweildy - the whole point to RSS is to not have to play with your browser to read information. - Joshua Lee

If you want to follow blogs directly on their site, at least for Blogger, you pretty much have to do use Google Reader. I know I've had that feedback from my followers. - Fossil Huntress

Yeah, blogger is a bit of a closed ecosystem. Very ungooglelike. - Joshua Lee

/me uses his best Ronald Reagan impression "Mr. Brin - tear down this wall" - Joshua Lee

every day for real work needs. for all the rest, FF, Twitter and Facebook - Giovanni De Stefano

Yes. Daily. But I overlay it with Feedly - www.feedly.com - which makes it rather prettier. - Stephen Collins

Clearly Scoble doesn't really want to get too involved with this discussion. Which is disappointing considering he was the motivation for the post in the first place. - Zee.

Google will eventually add real-time and social networking stuff to Google Reader, and especially with algorithms to suggest the best posts to read, then all will use that most - Charbax

I use it. But I don't share anything with it. I just use it to keep on top of a few news sites and forums. - Jan Ole Peek

no, but I'm ashamed to admit it. I used to use bloglines. - Laura Norvig

I live in Google Reader. It's my life line for discovery, digestion and distribution. - Mike Fruchter

Yes. - Deborah Fitchett

I do. I could live without FF, Twitter et al but Google Reader is a time/life saver. - Murray Barton

Yup. - Mathew A. Koeneker

Yes - Shevonne

Sometimes. - Jonathan Hardesty

I do. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

I do w/feedly - Dave Martin

I do when I'm bored. It's more a bookmarking spot for me than anything. - Mitch

Yes, I use google reader and RSS is not going anywhere - Wayne Sutton

Yep, pretty much everyday - WRider from twhirl

yes, daily - Brian

well clearly according to Scoble, all of you guys saying that you use it are not part of the majority...and Google Reader is actually a very quiet place - Zee.

Went from Google Reader to NetNewsWire simply because of the syncing ability between the Mac client and the iPhone app. - Mike Bracco

Yes - constantly - Threepwood

Zee: sorry, I had to drive Patrick home. There are a variety of ways to see how popular Google Reader is. Look at Quantcast. Alexa. Compete. Compare referee logs with others, etc. I have kept on top of the usage numbers and Google Reader isn't keeping up with growth in other agregator types like Facebook and friendfeed andthe people I compare numbers with see a lot more traffic from... more... - Robert Scoble

Yes, I love it. - Kate

Absolutely! Key tool 4 R&D. - Jan Friman from Nambu

@Scoble thanks for the clearer and less agro response. I'm really going to dig in and do some research into it because although I definitely believe that Facebook & Co. are growing much faster...as a news source/tool - i still believe it's number 1 and has huge potential for further growth - Zee.

i do and love its integration into everything - Zach Scott

Yes. Ugly as it is. - Robin Barooah from Nambu

@Robin check this out http://thenextweb.com/2009... - Zee.

Sure. Save the good stuff with Read It Later & Evernote. - David Hayes

Yes. - David Cook

Yes - just to read - J.D. Deutschendorf

Yes. Recently I love to use GReader via feedly.com - yezi

Yes, especially to share - Janaree Nore

I'm a long-time Reader fan. - Kevin Fox

Yes, though a lot less since Friendfeed came along - JCunwired

I stopped a few months ago...but now I'm back to using Feedly - love the magazine layout, just a cleaner better way to read (for me that is ;) - Aline Ohannessian

Religiously. - Steven Perez

Off and on. - Parth Awasthi

Yes, at least twice a day... every day. - CJ Guest

no, only a handful of times - Chris Heath

I just import Robert Scoble's and Louis Gray's .... it's much easier - Charlie Anzman

don't know how i would get all the rich data w/ out gReader and Feedly. - michael sean wright

Yes - I don't always read it, but yes. - Brent - Yes I am

i don't feedread anymore. tired of the echo - Richard A.

Everyday - Roger Teh

Yes, probably my second most-visited site after FriendFeed. - John E. Bredehoft

yes - Duane

sure - Alper Umut Çimen

Yes, love it. - Mark Krynsky

yup - Alejandro

yes! - Randy

Yes, every day! - Jonathan

Yep, I'm an avid user. - Lode Nachtergaele

Almost as much as gmail. Don't view or need it to be 'social'. - Arawak

yes. :) - Laurentiu

extended firefox with feedly this evening -- thank you all for that recommendation, gReader looks so much better, especially where the folders can be customized with different views: magazine stylesheet enhances the readability of content. [I'm looking into the exposure of private feeds when feedly services are used. Comments? It was surprising how they got to my subscriptions without my password.] - Adriano

[off-topic @cacarr : ditto, cf. extensions like Zotero, It's All Text (w/ vim ;-), or even Read It Later] - Adriano

Yeap feeds and alerts all in there. - Jonathan Kong

Yes I do, and I'm also pretty impressed with feedly/firefox, but I use that in addition to slogging through my greader feeds. I'm in the process of re-organizing my feeds so I can "mark all as read" without concern I'm missing something I need to see. "a1_events a2_casts b1_techblogs x9_other" etc. - Richard Walker

Sure do, but a little les frequently than in the past - Alistair (alpinefolk)

I do. - Roshan Ramachandran

& my shared items get routed to Friendfeed+Facebook & from FF to Twitter... :) - Roshan Ramachandran

I do use Google Reader but just to read news feeds not sharing or whatever. The number of updates is getting a bit unmanageable now and I end up bulk-marking a lot as read, but it's good to skim through the headlines or less active feeds. - By_tor

Yes, but must admit my usage of it has dropped off a cliff since I started using Twitter more (mainly because it was easier to digest content on a mobile), but think the noise ratio is greater on Twitter, so may go back to Reader when I get the next iPhone. - Paul M Evans

If I share stuff in Feedly it ends up in FriendFeed and Twitter. Someone has to put the good stuff up there to retweet... - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Absolutely! Google Reader is still the first webpage i hit in the morning to read my "a-list" tagged feeds. - Niklas Sjostrom

absolutely! - Goktug Gedik

yes i do but since friendfeed came on the scene it gets less and less - (jeff)isageek

yes but mostly through Feedly, and i do use Friendfeed to replace some stuff too. - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

Yes.. I would never socialize on it as well, the tool is of course, fantastic.. - Daniel Tal

Yes. I hate to admit it but Google did a great job with Reader. At first I didn't share anything but after some tweaking I got addicted to it. The gadget is great too (when it refreshes of course) - Carlos Lorenzo

Yes - Martin Liechti from fftogo

yes, a lot! - Thomas Lemberger

Fuk yea and how ! - viki saigal

Bloglines seems to be less reliable than Google Reader, but I stick with it because it's much easier to use. Complete navigation with single key strokes. Google Reader forces me to use the mouse. Too fussy. I'd prefer a desktop client, but haven't found one that is as good as Bloglines (on Linux). - ˈpɛbə

Yes I do - Sampad Swain

Yes. I have hundreds of RSS feeds that I read via Reader. I haven't found a better Web-based replacement. I do not use Reader for it's social networking aspects though. - Glenn J. Ward

No, I prefer Bloglines. - Dimitar Vesselinov

Yes - Spencer

Yes, for all of the sites I follow. - Robert Kenney

yes - Sarah Peterman

Yup. Everyday. - Stephen

Nope. - Rochelle

Yep - Mustafa Tan

Nope. - Akiva

I was just checking Feedburner actually and noticed that 60% of our subscribers (8000+) at TheNextWeb.com use Google Reader.... - Boris

Yes, every day! - Hamza Şamlıoğlu @TEAkolik

Yep! - ॐ adnan taşkıran

yes - clarke thomas

I use it and Feedly - Nathan Chase

yep - Jayavasanthan J

y, don't get to read everything tho - Artyom

It's the only RSS reader I use. I've tried several RSS apps on my phone and a couple on my computer and none are anywhere near as good as the web based Google Reader, either on my phone or on the computer. So I just stick with it. - Nathan Mylott

Zee - thanks for the link - I followed it and found 'helveitreader' which is nicer still. However, I have issues with the interaction as well as the style. (http://ff.im/3d9Np [http://ff.im/3d9Np] is real) - Robin Barooah from IM

Every day - on iPhone and Mac ... - Patrick Jordan

Yes..I push out my shared feeds to a Google Reader widget published on my blog. - George Dearing from BuddyFeed

everyday - me also having a dedicated widget on my blogs. - diego morelli

yes daily - Lu Tao

yes, daily, for now Twitter and twitter-like services are not replacing it... - roland legrand

Yes, daily. - George Brickner

Daily, it is a complement for specialized interests. - scottnewell

Yes. - Mark H

Yes. only way to keep track of 250blogs, and its the only remotely Social media style site that isn't blocked by my work IT department. I share stuff not in Greader but on here more so. - Yant

I use reader, but keep looking for ways to cut myself off from it. I hate feeling that I have to read everything. - Daniel Zarick

Zee, why don't you use ffpolls? :) http://www.ffpolls.com/ - bilge k.

ffpolls is broken for me - Robin Barooah from IM

@Robin Barooah; It's working correctly now. - bilge k.

Yes. - Blake

@Bilge: Not for me: http://screencast.com/t... - Robin Barooah

Thanks Robin, i told about failure to founder. - bilge k.

Yes, weekly - Ahmet Alp Balkan

Robin can you tell me poll title and poll answers? - batuhan

I use it every day to skim what is going on but don't use it to socialize - Sandra

part of my core tool set... - Richard Zeidel

yup - docrivs

Sure do - Andrew Leahey

I use it all the time. - Pete Gilbert

every day - chrisofspades

Yes - OnuRC

yes. (btw @robin: it's fixed i think. can you please try again?) - Yusuf Nays

Yes, but not actively. I use it to aggregate my favorite newsfeeds into one giant RSS feed, which I feed into Wizz RSS reader (Firefox plugin). Wizz automatically checks for updates at specified intervals, so I stay on top of the latest news from all services. I also use it to search mp3/filesharing RSS feeds that I subscribe to, and to bookmark useful posts. - LANjackal

Used to use it all the time, but I still check on my feeds from time to time through it. - i80and

@Yusuf yes - works for me now: http://ff.im/3eQqx - Robin Barooah

Yes - Yavuz Karakişi

Nope, i mean i used to but than came FriendFeed - Majento

All day every day, yes. - Ms_Krista

Everyday! - Anthony DCosta

Yes, everyday. - Cristian

Yes, its my central information repository.Where i aggregate all interesting RSS ( from almost 150 different sources) so i never miss a beat. There are certain desktop apps which are better then Google Reader but whats great about it is its online repository which works for every device i use to access it. Though i clearly think there is a hell lot of improvement needed. In its current avatar it can be pretty unmanagable specially if you read a lot and you can't be online 24*7. - Abhishek Sharma

jah - Furkan Tunalı

Everyday. I have it set up so a can create keyword specific feeds to selectively send items to other sites. - Kevin Shannon

Yes and I cannot live without it :) - Michela Cimnaghi /cimny

Yes. The best reader out there. - Jesper Jazzper Isaksson

Yes, everyday. - Peter Kruit

yes, I do everyday. I do sharing too. It works like a champ for me. - Mitchell Hislop

all the time! - Egyirba from twhirl

only with feedly otherwise it's clumsy and ugly looking - Cee Bee

love google reader and sometimes use feedly - sean808080

via Sharaholic only (to share, and seldom), I've never been to the official site, I don't do browser based RSS/Atom - Michael W. May

yup its taking over bookmarking.... - cysko

Nope. - Pandu ● IT Optimizer

love it, but wish there were more people on my google social graph - Saul Howard

I'm inclined to agree about the socializing in the reader. Otherwise, as a reader, it's ace. - Bronson Harrington

I do however so few of my friends do I do not socialize there. - Brian Bufalo

yep and I use it with feedly firefox addon - Adrian

No, I don't use Google Reader. - Thierry R. Andriamirado

yep! - Gio

Yep! I love GR - jonas

Yes i use it everyday! - Brian Moore

obsessively - Chris Rogers

I'm starting to think it's a very lame practice. Although I still post some things from friendfeed to Twitter, like this one. - Robert Scoble

211 more comments

RT @scobleizer is tired of cross posting. Let's talk about this over on Facebook. Someone set up a Twine too. - iTad

maybe you should use Yahoo! Pipes to filter duplicates, @scobleizer? - Prolific Programmer from IM

But that's because Twitter is lame for discussions. Facebook and friendfeed are better to have conversations. - Robert Scoble

Prolific: doing that in the context of Seesmic Desktop, Nambu, or TweetDeck isn't doable. - Robert Scoble

cross-posting isn't nearly as bad as retweeting. at least cross-posting is in different systems. - Andy Bakun

I cc to twitter but I have stopped auto posting to facebook...starts feeling spammy on FB - Gary Gannon

Andy: hmm, I sort of like RT'ing. I find a lot of cool stuff that way. - Robert Scoble

I have to agree... this is a big problem with the different solutions and different mechanisms for sharing the information you post. There needs to be a tool that « aggregates» them into one unique post and just lists the places it has appeared... - Thomas V. Fischer

Gary: I have stopped auto posting into Facebook as well (I only turned it on for a day or two and got a lot of complaints). - Robert Scoble

I feel the same way some times but I'm sure nothing on your level - most of my friends are clueless to this sort of thing. - Robert Freeze

I do have a system to filter my Facebook notifications and email the result to my mobile device, @scobleizer; works brilliantly - Prolific Programmer from IM

At what point does it become cross posting? Wordpress+Twitter? Wordpress+Twitter+FriendFeed? Wordpress+Twitter+FriendFeed+Facebook? - Ken Sheppardson

It's difficult because if you're like me when you feel the urge to share you want to reach the most people possible. To do that for me means cross posting. The problem is, while you certainly reach more people you're definitely hitting some people multiple times. I think most people accept that this happens and simply ignore the extra times. Kind of go with the first time they saw it. I do think it used to annoy me more. Now I simply edit it in my brain. - Sheryl

The neat thing about Facebook is because I haven't posted much there I haven't gotten people to unsubscribe the way that I have over in Twitter (many of the A listers have dropped me because I posted too often there -- I think that's also behind why I didn't get added to Twitter's recommended follower list, other than I talk about friendfeed so often there). - Robert Scoble

I'm going to have to say that I prefer you to add something less perfunctory than "Discuss:" If you're posting from here to Twitter you could add a "Let's discuss this" quite easily. As to the question cross-posting has it's merits because there is only a partial (in my case small) overlap between the different sets of people. - WoH: Minding her Steves

Sheryl: it's interesting, though. I do want to have a system that says "show me this person only on Twitter." Actually this is sort of what I'm doing with Seesmic Desktop: I'm building lists that suck certain people into the list so I can follow certain people well without seeing their duplication. - Robert Scoble

I love that every time I share an item on my google reader, it is posted to my friend feed and my facebook.. Why I love this is because I have completely different circles on FB and FF. - Sabika

WorldofHIglet: I tried to add "please" but I did not have enough characters. Twitter forces me to stick with 140 characters or less. - Robert Scoble

Except you posted this to Twitter from FriendFeed! But yes, it can be annoying. We want to get content out there,yet not be spammy. So how do we do it. - Bob Morris (polizeros)

Sabika: Google Reader I can understand going to both of these places. Twitter less so. - Robert Scoble

could the folks a friend feed or seemic think of a way to integrate or merge the cross posts...perhaps sinc them somehow. - Robert Freeze

Bob: I think that TweetDeck and Seesmic Desktop are how we solve it. I'm "white listing" people into lists now to escape the duplication. - Robert Scoble

First, how many people get ALL of your feeds? Item duplication is only a problem for those who are subscribed to multiple feeds from a person. Of the three services you mention, I isolate Facebook from most (not all) of my FriendFeed/Twitter content, and FriendFeed's block of the ff.im URL serves to reduce double posts of some items. - John E. Bredehoft

You aren't on Twitter's recommended follow because you post FF links like a madman lol :/ Nah I dunno if you always have. - Colin

Posting from here to FF truncates the message - the discussion will be here anyway so you haven't lost anything. But anyway, that's just me and my manners talking. - WoH: Minding her Steves

Another problem. Bots like TwitterFeed can result in double postings. (Hi Chris Pirillo on FaceBook.) - Bob Morris (polizeros)

I completely agree but there are people who do not use all services, to send them content we use multiple sources. Not everyone is like us, using all the services. - Veetrag

Colin: I think that's true, but it demonstrated that those recommended follower lists can be used as punishment. Oh, and does it help Twitter's content? Techcrunch has gotten very boring ever since it was added to that list. Yeah, I know Arrington now has his own Tweet account, separate of TechCrunch, but think about why that is. He doesn't want to have his business punished for saying something that Twitter doesn't like. - Robert Scoble

Retweeting may be a cool way to find stuff, but when everyone is retweeting, it's just pollution. FF's "like" functionality is much better. - Andy Bakun

Veetrag: that's why the Seesmic Desktop/Tweetdeck approach is probably going to be the only way to solve it. - Robert Scoble

Andy: people get tired of me saying Friendfeed is better, but it is, so I agree with you. :-) - Robert Scoble

It's funny, because I haven't been on Facebook until Tweetdeck and Seesmic Desktop added Facebook functionality so I didn't see just how many people are duplicating their content between all services. - Robert Scoble

FriendFeed is kind of ugly and painful to read, honestly for the kind of thread this is. Cross-posting (repeating in several arenas) is ok, but I dislike when people Tweet a link to a FriendFeed which has a link to some blog post somewhere -- it's like people are starved for us to hit every landing pad they have for a single item. That's painful and annoying. - Gib

Ryo: I agree. Lockergnome has gotten very noisy. - Robert Scoble

Does it seem like cross-post duplication litter is like the analog of FW: FW: FW: of the aged world of email? I've stayed away from cross-posting for the most part. But I just decided to focus on the network plugged directly into FF, so my use case is different than a good many. - Micah

Gib: use a browser that lets you increase font size. Also, click on the time stamp to open up this dicussion into its own window. - Robert Scoble

Gib. once it gets long it makes commenting hard to do and still keep up - Robert Freeze

The Lockergnome coupon posts are tooo much to handle - Gary Gannon

The recommended follow list is a mess, wrong in 1000 ways, the good thing is normal people don't worry about it, because they'll never make it. - Colin

Robert Freeze: open friendfeed up into its own Window and then commenting and keeping up is a lot easier on a hot conversation like this one. - Robert Scoble

David: I don't see quizzes in Facebook's status stream. - Robert Scoble

Robert: Yes, I'm using Safari and blow up the font size. Doesn't make it less ugly -- just bigger! :-) - Gib

cool thanks Robert - i'll open a new window - Robert Freeze

My little Macbook can barely handle Seesmic Desktop for some reason, it freezes in the middle of typing a tweet one or two times. - Colin

Robert, I think you've finally reached the point where too many people follow you: just one entry like this produces as much traffic as all the people I used to follow on Twitter. ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

Ken: heheh. Wait until the real celebrities figure this out. Imagine Eminem doing a live chat with his fans. - Robert Scoble

David: turn what stuff off? - Robert Scoble

This is the midnight hour thread that Scoble starts, I love it. Nothing more interesting in the world is going on at this time! - Colin

Eminem's FF page would be filled with "fsck the free world" and such - Prolific Programmer from IM

Ken: what's even cooler is I'm following every single person on this thread. - Robert Scoble

your the man Robert... this thread proves that friend feed is way better than twitter. - Robert Freeze

Prolific: yeah, but you think my items move fast? Wait until Eminem gets here. Then you'll see tens of thousands of people join in one item. - Robert Scoble

Robert: sssshhhh, keep it quiet for a while longer. Let's enjoy this short period in time before the masses arrive. - Robert Scoble

i doubt he can type fast enough - Robert Freeze

Or read/think fast enough. - Colin

Robert: he doesn't need to type. You can do live video here, too, and watch the text chat. - Robert Scoble

Robert: FYI, You can do the list thing on tweetdeck too. I have lists on both seesmic and tweetdeck. :) It does help, but honestly you miss some. I know because my lists are MUCH smaller than yours and I still miss and wind up with multiple posting. I really think at some point the size of the stream is just simply too large to do it all right. I worry about ticking off several hundred.... more... - Sheryl

he'll just invent other aliases to do his typing for him :) - Prolific Programmer from IM

is FF planning on letting us share friend lists? - Gary Gannon

David: hmm, I am using Seesmic Desktop with Facebook and I don't have much noise there (in the status updates). Of course I was very lucky. I filled up my 5,000 friends with pretty quiet people. - Robert Scoble

5000 friends...is there a limit? - Robert Freeze

Sheryl: yeah, and what's worse about lists is they don't move from computer to computer. - Robert Scoble

Robert: yes. Facebook can only have 5,000 friends. - Robert Scoble

on Facebook? yes, that's the limit, @robfreeze - Prolific Programmer from IM

Robert: I have 5,400 people waiting to be my friend over there. That's why I ignored Facebook for the past year and took to friendfeed (no limits here). - Robert Scoble

By the way, the conversations are BY FAR better here than on Twitter or Facebook. - Robert Scoble

I guess I don't have enough friends on facebook to worry. - Robert Freeze

My real life friends all noticed the day I installed the Twitter application -- they all started saying, "Wow you're on FB a lot!" because all the texts to Twitter went into FaceBook. Now I have friends who have joined Twitter because everyone else is and I have to say I enjoy seeing their Tweets less because I see it all on FaceBook and vice-versa. - Gib

Robert: Ah! But private messaging on FB rocks! :) - Sheryl

Sheryl: it rocks more here in friendfeed. - Robert Scoble

If everyone used the same service this wouldn't be an issue. Will things ever settle or are we bound to a constantly evaluating new services? - Ryan Stanley

Yes, Ryan. Another day, another service. - Gib

Gib, the Cleaner FriendFeed userstyle is an option. See my latest comment on it http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - if you're familiar with CSS you can make you're own adjustments. It will work on Safari with GreaseKit installed http://8-p.info/greasekit/ - just shout out if you need tips setting it up. - Micah

settling is not any fun - it's the innovation that gets me excited. - Robert Freeze

Ryan: I seriously doubt everyone will switch to using one service. If anything something like Tweetdeck, Peoplebrowsr, or Seesmic Desktop will make it all look like one service to their users. - Robert Scoble

The app's dev team would have to constantly studying everyone tom dick and harry's latest API changelog. And that doesn't even address all the third party modules for the app. - Ryan Stanley

David: the problem is that all three services are innovating too, and I doubt that all those innovations will be shared immediately by services like Tweetdeck, Peoplebrowsr, or Seesmic Desktop. Heck, how many of those support friendfeed so far? - Robert Scoble

FriendFeed to Facebook status-update is definitely lame. FriendFeed to FriendFeed-application post on Facebook seems fine to me. You can hide someone's FriendFeed-application posts on Facebook if you don't want to see them, but the only way to hide status updates is to hide that person altogether. - Edward Coffey

Eventbox pulls a lot of goodies in. I just don't dig it too much for some reason. - Gib

At some point all integral tech settles, and then becomes eligible for mass adoption. - Ryan Stanley

Robert: I have never had a private message on FriendFeed other than Ken! :) - Sheryl

I agree cross-posting is lame. But Robert, I've seen your intake rig: you're hard-core. You are all the places that my fragmented audience would be. It's no wonder you see stuff so many times. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Man I like Friend Feed. - Robert Freeze

Sheryl: I'll send you one. Heheh. - Robert Scoble

FF FTW! - Ryan Stanley

David: Loic promised friendfeed support in a future version of Seesmic Desktop. It's the poor child of the three because it has the fewest users, so it's easily ignored by these app developers. - Robert Scoble

I tried starting a FriendFeed iphone app twice last week, but ended up working on Twitter ones again instead. - Colin

Sheryl: DM's rock here because we can go back and forth "live" just like we are here. On Facebook? Um No. On Twitter? Um No. - Robert Scoble

The constant evaluation of different services is kind of frustrating. I keep thinking I'll find a good use for twitter and I sort of get close and then it fails for me again. Friendfeed just seems to be better in so many ways. And Facebook seems great for very personal connections but, casual internet conversations, Friendfeed really seems like the answer. - Steve McLelland

It's only this way because people have not realized it's potential...I use to think Friend Feed was a twitter want-a-be... boy was I wrong - Robert Freeze

Colin: you should do a friendfeed one that adds some cool feature like location. Kick Twinkle's ass. - Robert Scoble

I'm not a fan of cross posting. I define what I am to use each service for and try to keep the content unique to each one, Tumblr for iPhone pics, FB for friends and Family stuff, Twitter for my geek stuff, BK for pics of location, etc etc etc... - Andrew Acomb

Twinkle? Is that for FriendFeed? - Colin

Robert: and you haven't even discovered friendfeed's search, or its groups. - Robert Scoble

Never heard of it, I downloaded "MotherFeed", and tried, "BuddyFeed" - Colin

Colin: no, that's an iPhone app for Twitter that also tracks location. - Robert Scoble

kind of funny that the poor child with the fewest users has the most robust convos - Gary Gannon

In your opinion Robert, what is lacking most on the iphone for FriendFeed? Real-time commenting? - Colin

funny that all the other service are copying FF - Andrew Acomb

Robert - yah I have and I love it - If I was not married I would be seducing it now. - Robert Freeze

Gary: friendfeed is growing very fast. It might not be the poor step child for long. - Robert Scoble

David: I sure hope Palm will figure out how to get friendfeed support. It has Facebook support built into its contact list, though. - Robert Scoble

It would really help if FriendFeed could find a way to identify reposts across different services and group them together under a drop down item (or something like that). Didn't the old version of FriendFeed do that? - Paul Jacobson

Paul: the new one does too, but it doesn't always catch the reposts. - Robert Scoble

Robert: You can do live video in FriendFeed? How? - Shawn Hickman

Shawn: I use Kyte.tv. It kicks off a discussion in friendfeed. Everyone can watch live and comment on both Kyte or friendfeed. - Robert Scoble

They can watch it right in FF? - Shawn Hickman

Shawn, no, gotta click a link, open a new browser window. - Robert Scoble

is that better than ustream's chat and social media integration (I've only tried twitter there and the native chat)? - Gib

People like us read all three. Most people read just one. - Mike Abundo

Gib: I think so. Here's an example: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... - Robert Scoble

Robert: Thanks, I am going to be checking that out:) - Shawn Hickman

Stuart: I'm not. I was noticing that a very large percentage of the people I read on all these services ARE cross posting. - Robert Scoble

That's a major reason I stopped following Lockergnome, just got annoying - Andrew Acomb

Robert, perhaps you should do a post on your blog about how to avoid cross posting. - Robert Freeze

I have started to just post to FF which then sends it out to Twitter. I guess that is cross posting. - Shawn Hickman

Robert: you can't avoid it. Unfortunately. - Robert Scoble

Scobes: I annoyed myself on Friday. Stopped pushing my FF to facebook. I'll just be loud in person. - Kevin Murray

perhaps a cross posting best practices... - Robert Freeze

I just cross posted this manually over on Facebook. It'll be interesting to see if anyone comes over from Facebook. I've found that engagement is a lot lower there than it is on Twitter. - Robert Scoble

Stuart, that is what I like most about FF. It's a great hub for your things - Shawn Hickman

Sid: lets chat tomorrow. Sorry. - Robert Scoble

sorry to ask something off topic but is there a way to do a date range search on FF? - Gary Gannon

One question I kept asking myself was whether I wanted to follow someone on twitter whom I was already subscribed to on FF. I've decided no. - Ahsan Ali

didnt hate it till i started using seesmic desktop more :) now i want to stop feeding twitter into facebook - sean percival

While this is annoying for those who use multiple services, I think we're some time away before it becomes a problem for most folks. On the list of things to fix about these services, this is low priority. Smart filtering tools will sort this out, helped by more centralized control for users on where things go out. - Brad_King

Agree - personally, I no longer "auto post" twitter and Facebook. As to friendfeed, I am watching it but not really using it as "central" - Mick Yates

the reason why i can't avoid cross posting is that i know people who follows twitter+ff+fb, but also people who is only on fb, or twitter, and i'd like all of them to be able to read what i'm talking about... - Ivana

Micah: Installed SIMBL & GreaseKit but haven't seen anything to make FriendFeed less ugly. Do I need a script? - Gib

Gary: I don't know how to do a date-range limited search in friendfeed. There's a lot of stuff still missing in the search features here. - Robert Scoble

thanks Robert...night all - Gary Gannon

WOW!!! Check this google search out... this conversation comes up... - Andrew Acomb

http://www.google.com/search... - Andrew Acomb

Sorta fast, not bad. - Colin

Andrew: wow, Google is going real time! - Robert Scoble

Twitter is twisting their arm... - Andrew Acomb

I like how it showed up from Scoble and Loic in the sub-result - Colin

Andrew, thanks, I just Tweeted that Google search. - Robert Scoble

I never, ever crosspost to FB. For a number of reasons, not the least of which is that my mother doesn't need to read all the geek stuff I post :) I wish folks would stop sending Twitter to FB, too - Karoli

Interesting, then we'll no longer need gmail ? - Ahsan Ali

what's what's what's to to to discuss discuss discuss ? ? ? - Ted Russ

Just realized that my comments were being sent to twitter as well. Oops, just turned that off:) - Shawn Hickman

It's about time you realized that. I always disliked those Friendfeed -> Twitter reposts. - Morton Fox

Ted: nothing nothing nothing, go go go on on on with with with your your your lives lives lives. - Robert Scoble

Morton: THOSE I am not going to stop. - Robert Scoble

Morton: but I scientifically am engineering each one to start a conversation now. :-) - Robert Scoble

I do enjoy sending my "likes" to twitter though - Shawn Hickman

Chacun a son gout! I find twitter is a good place to park a thought in public. I know people who read my twitter posts who will never join facebook and vice versa. Many's the time when a twitter post has sparked off a really good conversation in facebook. - Nic Price

Sid: it's only occassionally like this here. Most of the time items don't get any engagement. - Robert Scoble

while it goes with the territory i understand cross posting for many is necessary since it is reaching different audiences. it's the nature of the infrastructures. however, friendfeed's detection of similar content and providing a nested link may be on to something. grouping up related topics by the same poster across platforms may help filter much of the redundancy. having them nested... more... - sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq

There's no hard and fast rule for reposting, it depends on your twitter audience and what you want to achieve. It's an option, after all. - Ahsan Ali

Sid: that's above my pay grade. - Robert Scoble

Gib, grab the userscript here: http://userstyles.org/styles... but make sure you use the "Load as user script" button (can't be a user style, need to be a user script for GreaseKit). It's a distinctive look, I actually prefer the native FF design most of the time, but the comment highlighting alone is worth the price of admission. Anyway, you can customize it from there. - Micah

Robert, ouch ;) - Micah

also, I find the conversations take on different tones depending on which service/site they're happening on - depending on levels of familiarity etc. - Nic Price

perhaps i'm biased but i've never invested much on greasemonkey since -as far as i understand it- it only affects locally, client-side & does not reflect what others would typically see. it's more of a local solution to a more widely distributed problem. - sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq

cutting out the duplicates wouldn't work because the posts may trigger different conversations in each place - merging them together might make nonsense of the flow - Nic Price

Yes, cutting dups with a client-side script would be difficult because of realtime updates bubbling posts up to the top. - Micah

Sid, no easy button, but you can use my script that adds a Comment and Like links to the bottom of a thread http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Micah

sid: i suppose what i'm arguing for is more of a universal solution that does not require installing yet another script. it's something that other users may come across that could havea more elegant solution. don't get me wrong, i'm all for mods, hacks, and scripts but i think that problems like that can be better solved in broader strokes -more utility for more users with the least effort. - sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq

just realised I followed Robert's link here from twitter! - Nic Price

It doesn't deal with dups, but here's a user script you can use to filter out (hide) @-replies and/or posts with a list of stop words you can define http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Micah

Nic Price: I'm not talking about cutting out duplicates, just grouping them together so they don't clutter up the stream like a Twitter conversation. FriendFeed could take the first instance of the content item to enter the stream and designate it as the lead item. All the subsequent posts could be added to it under a drop down arrow. You can comment on any of them but at least group them together, tidy the stream. - Paul Jacobson

Maybe this is only an issue for power users. I can't see casual followers on any single system being hit with the realization what they've read is showing up in all the places they read. They just aren't as nuts about all this as we are and maybe that's a good thing. - Jack Humphrey

sid: perhaps this whole ghoulash of stuff will eventually boil down into more internet standards that will some day work. granted companies by nature will have proprietary technologies and core competencies, but a level of workability across platforms may be necessary. the momentum has gradually started with efforts towards openid, facebook connect, and the like. it may be the beginning... more... - sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq

Paul Jacobson: agreed, the grouping of conversations sounds good. I guess there's also the issue about permissions and conversations happening in public vs private. - Nic Price

I setup as "main entrance" of posting FF where import also RSS from blog, public Delicious, and Shared from GReader, then via yahoo pipe I setup an rss for import ((My FF stream) + (My FFlikes)) into Facebook notes... then i read on TW, FF and GReader, but post only on FF... seems perfect except for the pain of notes import on Facebook that is awful and buggy :( - CantorJF

Someone once told me - it's not who follows you, it's who you follow. Hence, I follow different people on my regularly visited platforms so I don't have a cross posting problem. ;) - Mona Nomura

@Mona Nomura: what if a person you follow on twitter, and you don't follow on ff, starts on ff a conversation about something posted on twitter? - Ivana

Nic Price: I am sure the gurus behind the scenes can figure all that stuff out. - Paul Jacobson

Ivy /composmentis - my head just exploded. - Mona Nomura

just thinking out loud. an open source laconica-style interface with threaded discussions seems like one possible way. each user can be on separate services. but unlike info silos, everybody can get up to speed in a single-threaded discussion -similar to blind carbon copy emails. if anything happens it might involve an infrastructure change in transparency. at the granular level, much of the temporal mechanics can be learned & carry over from tcp/ip defragmenting of packets... - sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq

Yup...see the same thing, and don't like that I inadvertently spam my followers/friends. - Carlton Hackett

Sid, you're welcome. - Micah

sid: just seeing a possible outcome. it can be like a light at the end of a very long tunnel. users would have to change over time and realize what's going on. 'twitter++' could require funneling & processing the twitter stream (as friendfeed and other services are doing but with more sophistication). this would mute out its own direct usefulness as a single entity for a next higher... more... - sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq

Totally agree: Especially the thing that some people do: Syncing their Twitter feed to Facebook. To me, Twitter is for conversations, Facebook for status messages and more general "What am I doing". - Oyvind Solstad

I used to keep my FB seperate from Twitter and FF. Now I see all of my FF posts on my FB. But no one is to blame but myself for clicking on that "link" button. I may ''unlink" if such a thing exists. - Carol E

Go to: http://www.facebook.com/editapp... ; From there you can edit settings to where your posts are no longer published on your FB wall, seen only by you, etc. Good luck! - Carol E

http://friendfeed.com/setting... ; Here you can control your FF/Twitter postings. - Carol E

I wish the aggregation services like FriendFeed were smart enough to recognize when someone is using ping (or whatever tool) to spam their stuff to every service out there when they post something and just show it to you ONCE. I really hate the cross-posting that occurs, too. It just creates so much noise. I generally unfollow/unfriend people across ALL services when they do the... more... - Christopher A. Wichura

The other problem with cross-posting, is any responses are now in separate places in separate threads of conversation. - Christopher A. Wichura

It's interesting seeing how advanced the discussion is here. I know plenty of intelligent and net-aware people who don't even know what FF or Twitter really are yet. It's gotta be client solutions, since plenty of people already have their own mental view of what each service is for. RT is valuable, because it expands ideas across different social circles (preferably, with a comment why too). I'd love to see laconi.ca API take over as a base, but doubt it will. - Shane Curcuru

I also hate cross-posting within Friendfeed itself, I just hate to see the same URL shared by lots of other friends. There has to be someway to globalize the links and show only the views of my friends from that. - Jayavasanthan J

Yes I am tending to agree, its a bit strange to see the same things. The amount of original content at any one time is really not that high. - Robert

Well, I agree. Thanks to Friendfeed though, my accounts are behaving like cross posting. Everything I do on Facebook, Digg, Youtube, Last.fm gets relaid back to FF and FF relays it back to Twitter. If I do something on Twitter, it comes to FF as well... - Manuel Mas

Usenet groups where so much better - Michele Costabile

Some things should be cross posted: Freedom isn't free... Honor our veterans by taking a moment to Join the Memorial Day group on facebook http://bit.ly/zngxm - Bob Stewart

Cross posting can be annoying but as there are now so many posting platforms it seems inevitable, it is simply some peoples response to having so many similar but not identical systems. Either an ettiquette needs to be established or some way to better interconnect things like Twitter, FF, Facebook is needed - Robert Davies

There are too many of these stupid things. Facebook's a winner and loser; it'll win "personal," lose "public" content. Twitter's a loser, too limited in uses, e.g. no real discussions. Friendfeed (or similar) will win. - Maxwell Kennerly

this is getting annoying indeed... Ive started to use FF more than twitter now. Is there a FF blackberry app? - Nigel Walsh

Nigel, have you tried fftogo? Not full featured, but works on ANY mobile. - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo

While I dislike cross posting myself I'm highly guilty of doing it. I blame the disconnected decentralized websites and mediums causing needs to do it. There is no single decentralized network message bus/format. Someone needs to sit down and write an RFC so things will continue to work years after the initial companies FAIL and we can just move on to better problems to solve instead of doing the same ones over and over. - rob friedman

Yeah, what Rob said. - Julie Barrett from twhirl

We need a sort of Digg system that presents material based on an aggregated contact list from our different networks. It should recognize duplicate submissions and I suppose it could also rank content using exponential weighting based on the degrees of separation between viewer and submitter. If this already exists, please point me to it. - Benjamin Winters

Each service I use has a specific purpose - I don't cross post anything :) - Chris Saad

If each service had a specific purpose, then all these websites would stop trying to be everyone's everything online, adding new features or design tweaks that copy another site each week. - rob friedman

@Rob those sites don't get it and will not survive. I use twitter for microblogging, I use wordpress for blogging, I use flickr for photos and video. Everything gets aggregated into FriendFeed so that people can subscribe to a singe stream. What else do I need? - Chris Saad

Cross posting comes off like some form of Tourette's or short-term memory loss. You might understand the problem but it's still annoying. - AJ Kohn

@chris, Well what you need is subjective. WordPress is a blog, and is trying to become a (self)hosted twitter for everyone. Flickr is just a hyper networked gallery installation. FriendFeed is a feed aggregation website, too many similar FOSS to list, special because it does HTTP long polling to the web browser client making updates seem "real" time to the user. Twitter is short, easy has feeds and works via SMS. All want to have a real time conversation or content archived on the web. - rob friedman

I think that an other way to put the question is this: the content I create in the web is scattered everywhere and often is out of my control. In the old days of NNTP, my postings in the news where searchable and all the communication directed to me was in my inbox. Today things are disperse and aggregators, like FF create problems as they solve other problems. I think I would like to... more... - Michele Costabile

who doesn't crosspost nowadays? - polou/indigo_bow

Crosspost is the new "forward" - Andrea Grassi

Heh ... for us old tymers when "the Net" meant Usenet, cross-posting has some good aspects and many bad aspects. - JoWazzoo

Drop Facebook - Estelle Metayer

I still try to post different content, and post content relevant to the readership, you know Mashable is posting different stuffs on Facebook, Twitter (the only time crosspost with their website) and Friendfeed (some content may be similar). - polou/indigo_bow

Cross-posting from Twitter to Friendfeed started to bug me a few weeks ago when I realized most of my tweets where of no interest to people in Friendfeed. I just realized that I can save a custom search from Twitter and use it to filter the messages that get cross-posted using a hashtag (like Selective Twitter for Facebook does). The point is: more granular control of cross-posting. - Andrés David Aparicio

Thank http://ping.fm and talk to Chris Pirillo, it works well for him. - Garin Kilpatrick

Seriously, folks got together on OAuth. Can they get together on a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) on messages? At least then client developers (and UI alike) could develop methods of shrinking duplicate original content. - Jason Nunnelley

the feedalizr app removes or hides duplicates from your stream so you dont see the same Twitter and Friendfeed posts more than once www.feedalizr.com - Rafiq Phillips

I may have to give feedalizr a try, as this past week I've been trying to remove duplicates from my Friendfeed stream. The main problem is with anything posted on Posterous, as it cross posts the same thing to Twitter, identi.ca and a couple of other places. Usually on places like identi.ca, it's not a problem. But here, I get three versions of the one post, and I had to remove posting to tumblr to really rein it in. Wasn't there supposed to be a setting that cut duplicates down in FF? - George Hall (Australia)

I really enjoyed exploring your site. good resource ... thanks for sharing the info, keep up the good work going.... <a href="http://www.zframez.com/testing..." title="Software Testing Training Bangalore">Software Testing Training Bangalore</a> - samual

That already make it this way in Dr. Pepper's hometown in TX don't they? - G Dub of the Carolinas

Gunny - yeah, but you have to order it and have it shipped. It's not quite as convenient as just picking up a case at the grocery store. - James (@willia4)

There are two types of Dr Pepper to look for. One has the Imperial Pure Cane Sugar logo and is made in various places. The other is made in Dublin, TX, which continued to make Dr Pepper with sugar after the switch to corn syrup. - Julie Barrett from twhirl

Thanks for the leads. Maybe I'm crazy but the throwback Pepsi tasted better to me. Paul, I found it at Wal-mart of all places. - Heather Solos

I could be wrong but I think the Throwbacks were a hit and a test for a future direction. If so, you may see them move back to sugar rather than corn syrup. HFCS just has such a bad reputation these days in people's minds and of course some studies back this. Whether HFCS or Sugar, we just need to moderate our intake like anything else. I do prefer the taste of Sugar in the Throwbacks... more... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Coincidentally, Hardee's messed up my order this morning and I had my first sip of Diet Coke in a looong time. YUCK! I used to like that crap?? Seriously folks, switch to regular soda (even the HFCS stuff) for a couple of months and then try diet to see if you still like it. - Paul Reynolds

I have been hoping they are a success. I drink soda in moderation just a couple a week, my kids split a can once in a while. I'd much rather it was regular sugar. - Heather Solos

Steve, I was just about to give up RSS for Twitter, but then a few weeks ago, you wrote that Twitter had peaked, so I decided to just wait until the next thing I'm supposed to give up for the next thing I'm supposed to trade it in for. - Rex Hammock

97 more comments

Rex, you're a good man. - Steve Rubel from IM

for me Twitter supplements my RSS consumption but doesn't replace any of it. Twitter is more about discovery of things I wouldn't normally know about via RSS. - Tac Anderson

I agree, it is more like mining for information on twitter. - Drew Lucas

Don't have time for both RSS and Twitter so I focus on the current conversation over the archive. - Jason Catena

Twitter & Hacker News have taken up most of frequent, distracted attention I used to spend on reading feeds. I still go back to feeds to do my deep reading tho - Kingsley Joseph

I have to agree that RSS has fallen off my radar due to the time I put into Twitter and other Social Media tools (FF). - John Flynn

I second John Flynn's remarks. - Jeff Stannard

I feed social networks with RSS... so if I stop, and everyone else stops... where is the information going to come from? - Bwana ☠

Nope, RSS is still extremely useful especially coupled with #Feedly - Rick Bucich

twitter is snacking, rss is having diner. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin - fully agreed. - Richard Zeidel

I will never ditch RSS. It is too easy and great. I don't check as often as Twitter, but I can save posts and refer back to them when I need to. I can also easily find blogs there, rather than my bookmarks, which is flooded. Twitter is GREAT, but who knows if it will last? MySpace was great once, too. RSS is more stable than a social network, and easier to sort (no hashtags required). - Angela Wilson

I wouldn't. For the Twitter and RSS have different uses. And I wouldn't spam the people that follow me at twitter with links to posts. - Bibi

No way. Never. - Louis Gray

Not ditched, but Twitter's become my primary social RSS. They're different rabbits. - phil baumann

two different things...two different uses. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

i use friendfeed for both feedreading and twitterstream. - lodro

I'm just cutting down on number of followers and feeds. Seems to help with managing information overload. - Dave "Freedom 35"

Twitter is too ephemeral... would need some organization (folders/tags/saved-searches) and mark-as-read functionality at the very least for me to even consider it. RSS is essential to me for required reading and for discovery. - Tinfoil 2.0

Not at all, if anything Twitter/Friendfeed etc has helped me find new RSS feeds to add. - Adam Turetzky

That's like hiring the garbage company to DELIVER trash to your door. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

if anyone did it, he's an idiot - zio bonino

Twitter for Microblogs and Status Updates, Google Reader for regular blogs, Friendfeed for actual conversations! - Dane Findley

Ditching RSS in lieu of Twitter?? What's next, ditching email for DM's? Not a smart move. - Kevin Pruett

I think Kevin just summed it up nicely. I'll just add: The number of websites who provide real-time updates to Twitter is minuscule. When that changes, then we'll talk about swapping RSS for Twitter. - Alexander Grundner

Nope, absolutely not. Twitter serves its purpose as microblogging and link sharing but RSS still has a purpose for me. Not everything I read is shared through Twitter (actually, I should hope not!). If I got all my news through Twitter, it would be more of an echo-chamber than it already is. Further more, I work in marketing. I use RSS to keep up with client industry news and to aggregate information. Twitter cannot do this for me. - Violet Mae Lim

I got sick of reading long blog posts about the best way to develop software.... at least with twitter you get rid of long windedness. :) - Paul Kinlan

i did not. and i won't you can't find in 140 char what a full page gives you - Ouriel Ohayon

...i've mostly ditched blogging for Twitter. - .LAG liked that

I have ditched RSS for FriendFeed. I prefer the Real-Time Web. Welcome to the RTW! - Dimitar Vesselinov

I'm with Dimitar... go FF go! - Janice

Everyone! Haven't you heard -- Twitter is dead. Oh wait. I'm confused. RSS is dead. Umm. Steve Gillmor? It's TechCrunch -- it's dead. That's right. - Dave Winer

Feedly + Firefox really makes Google Reader useful, IMHO - .LAG liked that

no way. though i have reduced the number of feeds i actively keep up with. - coffee

++Lag. Love my Feedly plus FF/Twitter. I have cut down on feeds however. - Bonnie Foster

I love my netnewswire. It's all the stuff I've personally asked for rather than the stuff others feel they need to throw at me. - Josh Kinal from twhirl

yup, same here - Jeremiah Owyang

OK, so this post brought out mostly RSS lovers (which I remain). Yet why is it that some are now railing against RSS? Here's another thought RSS = a standard. We have no standards for status updates and thus Twitter and Facebook are in the driver's seat. RSS is final and stable. - Steve Rubel

Nope. I see different uses in the different services. I like the organization of a reader. and I like your comment about the standards and stability and lack thereof on Twitter and FB. Also, I like to pick my news sources and trust that I am getting something accurate. SkyGrid is a nice combination of real fast / real time and reliable. - Martha

On the contrary, besides using Twitter, I've added lots of RSS from Twitter to Google Reader. - Mike Reynolds

My comment is a bit suggestive because of my work with Alltop. But even so, Twitter could not replace the gens I find via RSS too. - L.P. NEENZ FALEAFINE

Not me. Twitter is still too noisy. - Tamar Weinberg

why ditch anything? - Sheri Fresonke Harper

Sheri- Because people like to talk about this "king" "killing" that "king" and "destroying" this "queen" blah blah blah. ;) In my opinion, one new form of technology or communication doesn't always have to replace another. - Violet Mae Lim

That question is ridiculous. RSS is far easier to manage and customize and can deliver a lot more information. Watching the interests of your social graph on Twitter is great, but far more and higher quality information can be consumed, (re)organized, and aggregated with a good RSS reader. - David Chartier

I'm stuck between using FriendFeed and Google Reader but I defenetely like FF more than twitter for that function! - Brian from BuddyFeed

Still like both. With Twitter I feel like I keep up with individuals better, and catch new stuff earlier than I might anywhere else. Reader still gives me a ton of good reading from all the places I like best though ... - Patrick Jordan

I still use RSS but more for reference. I get the link to the post in Twitter and then go look at the feed - Janet Fouts

I'm still a fan of Netvibes, and I have not ditched RSS for Twitter, I've made some RSS out of Twitter searches, does that count? - Albert Maruggi

FriendFeed replaced RSS for me a while ago. - Thomas Hawk

Ditch RSS for Twitter? Never. RSS is the fuel for the real time web - they're complimentary products. http://bit.ly/10dkr8 - AJ Kohn

I will most likely not ditch ditch rss for twitter, both are good and valuable, but rss is useful since one can't always read it - Justin Yost

Ditched RSS for FriendFeed ;) - LPH™ and his dog P™

I really never understand why you should give up RSS for Twitter. Why? Could someone please explain this über productive idea? - Jan Friman from Nambu

i'm still a heavy Google Reader user. - Alex

The more interesting question may be how many have replaced RSS with FriendFeed... - Josh Street from twhirl

<sigh> I dunno. I see twitter as a subplot of FF and FF is also a subplot. Even slashdot used to be cool. - Derek Lords

Haven't heard Slashdot mentioned in years - Mike Reynolds

Ditching RSS for Twitter will work as the idea that people wouldn't look at paintings once photos came out - shelisrael1

I think there is some confusion here. Are we talking about giving up on the technology that is called RSS, or are we simply talking about switching the platform on which we consume these ie. ditching google reader for friendfeed or twitter. Friendfeed lives on RSS feeds, the links you get on twitter most probably come straight out of someone's rss reader. The question is, if we ditch... more... - Kasper Sorensen

I discover more of value through friendfeed than twitter, really. But once I determine the long term value of a site it goes into my google reader, if it's Really important (i.e. top 10) it goes in my operamini feeds on my phone. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

I agree @ron - Justin Yost

it is like dithing your car for fishing: they are not the same. More precisely, Rss gives you focuses attention on the sources of information. Twitter gives you second hand check-it-outs that are possibly not so focused or accurate, but *seem* more urgent because they are in real time. - Michele Costabile

I use RSS, don't like twitter, and seems no reason. - yagami

How many of you have ditched bathing for Twitter - and if so why? - Dave Winer

I ditched porn for Twitter since, you know, it makes so much sense to do so. - Scott Jarkoff

I use both RSS and Twitter. I use Twitter more frequently though. - Donelle

RSS is quite useful, both serve their own purpose - Erik Magraken

this is BS, twitter can't and won't replace RSS, neither will friendfeed for that matter - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Twitter gives me a portal to the author but won't replace RSS - Joe Dawson

I increasingly use Twitter Search rather than Google Search or RSS to find cleantech news to blog about. - Bob Morris (polizeros)

Nopes, Twitter has a long way to go before it replaces RSS. My days begins by reading 500 feeds, imagine how many tweets would I have to go through to get all those news! - Rajtilak Bhattacharjee

Friendfeed can do that. Not twitter - Rohit from twhirl

For ordinary web users who are only interested in a handful of feeds, maybe 10 or 20 then twitter beats a feed reader hands down. Much simpler to use, easy to understand and real time. Plus twitter has the social media/communication features. However power users that are tracking 100 or more feeds need a reader for their research. The google reader / feedly combination is hard to beat for these people. - Adrian

How can Twitter replace a few decent RSS feeds? Not understanding the Twitter love... - George Gray

I don't understand, RSS and Twitter are two different services. Have I missed something? :-) - Kol Tregaskes

I spend time on Twitter where I would have otherwise been in Google Reader. It's easier to follow trending topics on Twitter. - Peter Warnock

did a blog post a while back called 'my network is my search engine' but truth is, probably meant my 'network is one of my rss feeds' - not an either or proposition for me - leigh himel

No, they're two different use cases for me. Twitter is real time conversation. RSS is non-real time information. - Ian Betteridge

What Ian said. IMHO, their strengths are so different it would be silly not to use both. - Karen Mohler

If anything, Twitter points me towards more stuff to add to my RSS! - Amie Gillingham

Yeah, what Ian said. I'd just get lost in the info if I got all RSS via Twitter. - Julie Barrett from twhirl

I am using RSS in FriendFeed. What I have ditched is Google Reader. RSS is underlying technology, not an application. We'll keep using that underlyng technology for a long time. We may ditch the readers, but not the RSS itself. - Bora Zivkovic

I haven't ditched sourcing news via RSS for Twitter, but I have subscribed to more news via Twitter and find myself getting it more frequently on twitter. - tekhelet

This isn't the right kind of debate. It's distracting from the fact that both are useful. - William Mougayar

nope, not going to happen. A) twitter doesn't have all the blogs I read B)there's no good aggregation of blog notices - I can't come back 2 days later & find older content. - clarke thomas

For Twitter? No, maybe for Friendfeed in some time. - Diego Espinoza V.

Because I got the gist of the post and a quick link in the same stream. No more reader for over 12 months - derek

Traditional RSS readers are even more boring than Facebook. Stopped using them a long time ago. I do consume RSS feeds still in FriendFeed but though a socially filtered lifestyle. - Thomas Hawk

I have pretty much ditched RSS for FriendFeed. I use Twitter also. - Bill Romanos

for must part..BUT subscribing via RSS to derivations from Twitter can be useful, for example, I subscribe via RSS to http://www.whatthetrend.com/ . It gives me the day's trends PLUS explanations as to why which is key. Extremely useful to go through just in case I missed something during the day. - Mike Bracco

your followings are your feed source - Human Syndication. spending most of your time on Twitter, you dont have time to switch to RSS. Also, with RSS feeds coming from media companies, news may not break as quickly with human syndication which Twitter provides. With RSS feeds coming from Blogs, the news will have broken out on Twitter prior to that blogger's RSS feed hitting you somehow... more... - iTbay

RSS bankrupcy. Hundreds of blogs unread. By reading Twitter only on the web and not on the phone, and using Twitter search, I get what I get. The rest finds its way, so I don't have to pile up enormous wads of reading in my Google reader. RSS is still absolutely vital, however, for those who block you on Twitter. You search their name, RSS the search results, read them on Google. My new Google read attention space is the ppl like @ajkeen who have blocked me on Twitter. - Prokofy Neva

I subscribe to Twitter hash-tag and keyword searches via RSS and read them in Google Reader. I see the them as complimentary. - Mike Boudreaux

I usually have Google Reader/feedly & TweetDeck open at the same time. - Jason R. Hunter

Hundreds of RSS feeds and no time to consume; Twitter better fits my lifestyle. Plus, the community that surrounds me shares very similar interests, so I can count on useful info from them. - Paul Chaney

"Having RSS feed" =/= "using Twitter", so I read the RSS of a lot of sites every day via NetNewsWire. - Rick Cogley

I use RSS to read Twitter (meaning) I can follow some people on Twitter via Google RSS reader (without really following them). Does that make sense? - Doug Vos
