“I invested a lot of time this year in FriendFeed and Twitter instead of my blog. Was that the right decision?”

I think so. - Robert Scoble

Half of it was right. And I'm not posting this from Twitter. ;) - Chris White
Time will tell, but I think it was correct decision. - imran
It's made you one of my favorite bloggers, if that makes you feel any better about it. If you weren't heavy on the social exploration I probably wouldn't read. - Daniel J. Pritchett
what outcome were you going for? - zach
From my perspective, yes. It's a much more interactive and broader experience for all. - Kevin C. Tofel
The right decision from which perspective, Robert? Did you increase "eyeballs?" Revenue? Both? Other? - Mark VandenBerg
I like FriendFeed and Twitter, but don't see how they compare to developing thoughtful, deeper blog posts. Really, I think FF and Twitter have their place, and I love them as well, but that place is certainly not a replacement for blogging. - Michael Krigsman
I think yes. Most folks can read twitter 100% of the time -- blogs are scanned. You tend to link to good stuff from twitter and have good headlines. - Ted Simpson
No question about that. In the past, websites were static compared to blogs. Now blogs are static compared to microblogging services. - Berci Mesko
I think only you can be the judge of that. We're all beginning to look at blogs as sort of the core of our outreach, so I'm not sure investing time in microblogging elsewhere is an either/or question. You are you. Your blog and social media network are simply extensions. If you're happy with your business model and continuing to grow, what's the problem? :-) - Chris Baskind
Mark: Revenue? Didn't change much. Eyeballs? Well, I have almost 21,000 followers here that I didn't have at the beginning of the year. Zach: I just saw that FriendFeed was going to be one of the most interesting new services of the year. Seeing how it was on the screen at the Chinese BloggerCon I think I picked the right services. - Robert Scoble
I consider FF as blogging in many ways and more interesting than a blog. - imran
You certainly moved the ball forward for the two companies. And if you think they're a vital part of the "internet plumbing", you absolutely made the right decision in helping to secure their futures. - Christopher Galtenberg
I've shut down my blog for the time being. Not getting the interaction out of it, the way I'm getting out of experiences on FF and Twitter. I think if you want more conversation online, the blogs (for now) would not be the way to go. - Helen Sventitsky
are the 21K followers different from people who followed your blog already? if so that is in increase. if not then the eyeballs are moving from your blog to friend feed. - Jonathan Jesse
Just wondering. Thanks, Robert. - Mark VandenBerg
My twitter lives alongside my blog in the sidebar, and I keep track of all my tweets by feeding it into a lifestream stored on my server. i think that's the key, as the two platforms, microblogging and blogging, work nicely together. - C. K. Sample III
@Michael great thoughts on blogs allowing for deeper thought development. that greater development, might lead to more meaningful discussion on FF then what may occur in the comment section - Jonathan Jesse
Also, check out Twitemperature if you like Twitter. Tells you whether you're hot or cold based upon what you've tweeted and how it ties into online trends and community: http://twitemperature.com - C. K. Sample III
It's a good question -- I've been thinking (and writing a bit) about the question of a blogging / microblogging balance. My working theory: that going forward the most successful bloggers will be strong microbloggers, and vice versa. - Eric Berlin
Robert, then I have a wunderbar über wonderful idea for you! You know, you can trust me :) - directeur via NoiseRiver
YES YES YES YES YES YES! - Susan Beebe
There are plenty of people up at blog-level covering "the scene". You're on the ground with people as they're trying things, talking about what's missing, what they need, what they like and don't. I think this is a good place for a tech-head to be. But blog posts to send signals up and out to the other tech-heads, reviewing your time embedded with the troops, will still be vital for growth of the net. - Christopher Galtenberg
No =) The audience for the standard blog delivery system is different than a hyper-conversation micro-blogging system. While these services are great with interactivity, they do not generate useful long term content in most cases due to short posts (usually under 120 characters) and basically being a link farm rather than useful content. The initial "posts" are not as in-depth as a typical blog post, and the comments are often "me too" type of responses as well. Balance your tweets vs. your blog posts =) - RAD Moose
I found I moved too much of my activity to Twitter and FriendFeed - I have tried to return to more blog postings, since I do have a community of readers that is only there. - Richard Akerman
Hard to say. Who are you, again? :) - Matt Tuley
Yes, I've heard little about your blog posts, but I've heard plenty about you being very open & active on social sites. That kind of interaction with your audience is a refreshing change and I'm sure it helps your reach (though I'm sure that's not what you meant). - Cains
Honestly? You put you in front of me. I would not have gotten to the blog as often, as I've seen you here. Just too much to read. - Ed Shaz/NextInstinct
I personally miss the longer/thought out posts that used to appear on your blog. While I don't think that using FF/Twitter has been a bad thing, and I know that you don't have time for *everything*, your more "editorial" and reporting style of blogging is missed. - drew olanoff
Cross posting of comments between blogs and friendfeed would be an interesting development. - Andrew Leyden
Jonathan: I think I've gained a good percentage of new people who found me here on FriendFeed. That's why I have more followers here than, say, Michael Arrington does or Leo Laporte do (and they should have WAY more, because of the size of their audiences). - Robert Scoble
I ask myself the same question often regarding whether I should spend so much time on social media sites instead of just writing content on my blogs. What I don't think I realized is that I'm still creating valuable content at all of my outposts that are still ultimately leading to my blogging hub. I think its been well worth it. - Mark Krynsky
@Andrew WordPress has a nice plugin to link to FriendFeed activity. Unfortunately for my platform (TypePad) I don't know of an equivalent. - Richard Akerman
ppl will follow you anywhere on web i think, but this is the best place to folllow you. - imran
I find FriendFeed to be more engaging, but it would be nice to gauge the amount of traffic a post on FF gets. - Spencer
the #friendfeed, #twitter, #socialmedian instantaneous replies, directs, and comments distributed throughout feed aggregation access points establishes a better communication channel for your voice - shayne catrett
depends. did you sacrifice blog content & share it on FF/Twitter? - I stopped blogging about useless junk since I can simply throw that stuff up on FF or Twitter now. Less frequent are my blog posts, but more quality, at least I think - Enrique Gutierrez via twhirl
@Richard if you can migrate to Six Apart's Movable Type 4, they have a widget for FF -- in fact, I'm going to be trying to get it running on my blog tonight - Woodrow Jarvis Hill
Here's how you get your answer: (1) Go get some sleep. You just got back from China! (2) Wake up and look at the likes/comments on this item. (3) Compare those numbers against responses to your best blog post this year. - Bruce Lewis via fftogo
It depends what you're after. Knowing you, it was the right decision - twitter and friendfeed are like a quickfire conversation, here there, lots of input, changing topics all the time. Blogs are the considered discussion...or lecture. Different methods of communication, you choose which one you prefer. - Rachel Clarke
Blogging is more of a one-way street, FF and Twitter are interactive. It's pretty obvious they are the natural evolution and successor to web collaboration. - Tyler Hurst via twhirl
Absolutely. FriendFeed and Twitter are so much more interactive and personal than blogs. I'm liking the transition to more personal mediums. - Mark Martinez
Add one more who simply wouldn't follow you regularly if not for ff ... No other method gives the constant positive reinforcement and active conversation - David HC Soul
For those using a blog for SEO and drive quality links to their retail or commercial site, the answer would be no. However, I personally find it difficult to follow all my favorite blogs in a timely manner, ever on a reader. So for me, Twitter & FF is a better avenue to follow your messages. - Rick Bucich
Less smack talk about Twitter on this thread (any?) than FF smack on Twitter. Me senses some insecurity about the topic from those not yet FF-savvy. - Christopher Galtenberg
welp -- yes. I think for reblogging and some conversation both are great. Cross the streams and have a Facebook page updated regularly too. Use a blog for long form pieces and comment threads (although I see less value frankly in the signal to noise ratio on blog comments), and feed your blog to Twitter/FF as well... at least that's my tack. - Robert Denton
It certainly was the right decision.. In fact I didn't even know about you before I joined Twitter and FF...:) and I don't think blogs will get feedback like the way you get on Twitter of FF. Also Twitter & FF can be a major source of traffic to your blog. - Devakishor
Yep. - Mitchell Tsai

Jason's right on here... and btw, I've been watching Kitchen Nightmares on Hulu here and there myself. Particularly love the eps that take place on my homeland of Long Island - Eric Berlin
I'm sure it's because of Ramsay's proximity (as I guess he has restaurants in Manhattan) but yeah... the Long Island joints are very entertaining. I think there's been several Italian family restaurants with hot tempers and family issues. - Jason Kaneshiro
They are also more repetitive. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
Agreed Jason. Having grown up on Long Island (moved to California 10 years ago) I love revisiting the accents, the 'tude, etc. - Eric Berlin

GM Lobbies Current GM Auto Owners to Contact Congress on Their Behalf
4 hours ago - Link
Is that a desperate move or what? - Jeff P. Henderson
12 more comments
GM sent me an email asking me to lobby Congress on their behalf as a GM owner. I printed the email on my blog. Smells like desperation to me to see GM lobbying all of their GM owners to try to get this money through Congress. - Thomas Hawk
yeah, it feel pretty desperate to me. It also strikes me as a bit of an inappropriate way for GM to use my personal information. - Thomas Hawk
I wonder if GM will reach out via twitter. Is GM trying to take a page from the recent political season with this email appeal to their customers. Some say it is a desperate move but I think desperate times calls for desperate means. - Ruth Ferguson
I would agree about the inappropriate use of personal info, Thomas. I'm expecting to find the same e-mail when I get home. My wife also owns a GM vehicle. - Jeff P. Henderson
I called my representatives lobbying them to NOT support the bailout. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
I guess owners of GM vehicles should be concerned though -- it would mean an end to warranties, fixing of future recall worthy faults, and complicate future parts availability. - Brian Sullivan
Autos will be saved regardless of voters input - imran
I doubt it would impact future parts availability. How often do you buy OEM parts for your car. I recently replaced the timing belt and water pump on my car over the weekend and neither of them was OEM. When I replaced the fuel pump on another vehicle it wasn't OEM. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
It's a myth that you won't be able to have your car repaired if they fail. Any good mechanic can work on a GM car and parts will still be made as demand exists. That's what the market does. Now the parts may not be made by employees of labor unions, but that's another story. - Thomas Hawk
@Thomas Exactly. It's just fear mongering by the Big 3 to scare those who don't know any better into helping to bailout their antiquated business models. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
But it does complicate parts availability. Granted most of the parts are probably manufactured by 3rd party suppliers but quite a number of them will fail as well. If there is demand then somebody will move to fill the demand but this will likely be uneven. I am not advocating a bail out but bankruptcy will come with lots of complications. - Brian Sullivan
You have to remember two things: 1. GM doesn't own the dealerships; franchise holders own the dealerships. Ergo, GM doesn't service the products it makes, other than compensation to the franchise-holders in the form of waranty related repairs. 2. The majority of parts for automakers are produced, under license, by independant vendors who still need to make products to stay in business. - Mark VandenBerg
Lobbying efforts aside, how can the US keep affording to bail out industries with hundreds of billions of dollars? Take that money and invest in alternative energy and entirely new and profitable markets will emerge. You can't really do the same with the financial markets but alternative energy is CLEARLY the most prevalent opportunity for profitable investment that could create new jobs to replace ones lost in the auto industry and actually turn the government investment a profit. Something we're not really seeing with the bail out. - Devlin Dunsmore via twhirl
"I want to assure you that we are making our best vehicles ever." Great. Now start making vehicles that can compete with the offerings from the car companies who ARE NOT begging for taxpayer cash to enable their addictions. - Dave Roth
