Research is fun, I get to talk to the smartest folks at the smartest companies. Yet writing the dang things are my kryptonite #myweakness

1) podcast let interview skills shine,2)writing makes a dish & not just ingredients.Take the 5 eras of social web for example http://cli.gs/n1M2W2 - Albert Maruggi

I hear you, Jeremiah. It's so much more fun interviewing people and synthesizing or analyzing the results. I find sometimes that recording my spontaneous thoughts verbally helps me to write from the recording, similar to what Albert is suggesting, whether you do a podcast or simply record your thoughts. - Cathryn Hrudicka

"We call it «advertising» when we don't intersted in it. When we are interested in it, its «information»." — brilliant! :) - фыр

I always thought this was the advertising model Facebook had to follow - Simone

I'm interested! - Paul Roberts

That's a great find. Thanks for sharing. Agreed with Ilya. - Justin Gardner

It seems as soon as it says social and media in the title, Scoble is here to like it and/or comment on it! - Gavin

This is great! The best selling IS education. So once they see it as information, let's make sure that we deliver on information that is usable and has value! - Barb Gonzalez

Scoble why don't you pull comments from your blog, automatically to the RSS post here in FF. This way the comments on your blog, will also appear here in FF?

wow, cool idea! - Susan Beebe

That's what Disqus does. I'm looking at Disqus comments for my blog. - Robert Scoble

I'm loving disqus! - Mike Lewis from fftogo

Robert, Disqus in FriendFeed would only show your comments (to people who have subscribed). However, it does create an RSS feed of all comments left on your Blog, but the way Friendfeed works all RSS feeds are treated like "Blogs". If you imported your blog's comments that way, I'd want to hide the feed of your blog's comments immediately, but I wouldn't be able to do it without hiding all your blog posts too. - Robert Seidman

just imagine the new *noise* level this RSS feed would create for those who follow Scoble. LOL - Susan Beebe

It's gotta be public, as I see that some twitter replies end up here in FF. Can't be for disqus members only. RSS is the way. - Jeremiah Owyang

Jeremiah, are you talking about just Robert's comments feeding back here or every comment left on his blog? If it's the former, Disqus is fine and anyone following Robert will see it. If it's the latter, he could do it with or without Disqus by feeding in his comments RSS feed, but I for one hope he doesn't take that route! - Robert Seidman

someday FriendFeed will make it work so that the comments can attach back to the link for the original blog post -- that might actually be pretty cool, until then, it's a nightmare. - Robert Seidman

Thomas Hawk was sending his readers here to post comments. Not sure how that worked out. - Russellreno

would rather see him intall Disqus into his blog and then individuals can each include their Disqus items in FF - Lou Paglia

I totally agree with Lou .. let's not make this commenting dance any worse than it already is - Steven Hodson

Ditto - Agree with Lou and Steven - let users decide; remain in control of comment volume (turn Disqus on / off) - Susan Beebe

God, please NO. Enough fragmentation already. - Leslie Poston

Personally I really just wish all my blog's commenters would move over to FriendFeed. FriendFeed is a far better place to comment about stuff than over on my blog's comments. - Robert Scoble

in that case scoble why not just close the comments on your blog, and install the friendfeed-wordpress plugin, or hire someone to install it for you; or get Patrick to install it for you! :) - Nathan Eckenrode

Cause Steve Gillmor refuses to go along with this program. :-) Plus, I don't want to force anyone to do anything. I'll just follow them to wherever the conversation goes. If that's all over on your blog, I'll follow them there. - Robert Scoble

there has never been conversation on my blog_ because my blog never touches tech issues :) - Nathan Eckenrode

+1 for Robert's comment. No need to centralize the conversation. Let it unfold naturally, wherever folks want it. - Hutch Carpenter

Robert: Once Disqus is integrated into Friend Feed, won't that give you the same results? - Kenneth LeFebvre

Kenneth: somewhat, but with Disqus you don't see the whole conversation, just the pieces that I did. - Robert Scoble

Ah... I like what you're describing... we need a FriendFeed widget to replace the blog's comment feature altogether! - Kenneth LeFebvre

Its not about centralizing it, it's about AGGREGATING. - Jeremiah Owyang

I guess he can do that with Disqus - Mario Sundar

Pulling folks' comments from one site and inserting them into another is a problematic idea. It sounds handy on the surface, and the wfw:commentsRss extension for RSS 2.0 is ideal for handling it... but FF will need to think long and hard before implementing it. I considered it myself, when I launched FF-like features for my app back in 2004, and dismissed it. Mixing Discussion A's posts into the same flow as Discussion B creates lots of confusion and misrepresentation. - Roger Benningfield

I agree. People who comment on FF actually want to be here, while posters to a blog may not want to be. Go Figure. - Roberto Bonini
