Probably in the near future there will be tools that will sniff out all of your social network activities and build a very accurate composite of who you are as a person. Your "Social Index Personality Score" or "Social Media Background Check" could be used in all kinds of ways. The content you leave on all these sites will be your fingerprint and reveals much about who you are.

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 35% // Likelihood of you being MALE is 65% yeah sure! ha, ha!!
- Susan Beebe
Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 88% ... I guess I better go buy a dress.
- Brandon
81% female -- I attribute the other 19% to hubby using the computer
- Michelle Martinez
I just tried my Seamonkey history. 53% female! Of course, it only registered Google and Gmail out of quite a few things in my history there (most smaller blogs though).
- Jake (aka Jawee)
99% here. Interesting Link Leo. Look at the individual website ratios to see where you deviate from the norm :-)
- iSteeve
Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 9% Likelihood of you being MALE is 91% I'm a woman, married, and the only one who uses my laptop. :)
- Trish Benningfield
I'm really confused. 59% female, 41% male. Hmmm . . . wonder if I need to tell my wife something?

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 96%. Damn, it must know that i bought Cirque Du Soleil tix on StubHub and not a sports event. :( Maybe it was Plurk?
- Christian Anderson
78% male. amazing that cell phone companies sites scored the way they did.

awesome news, now how about posting TWiT a few minutes early tonight in celebration?
- Jordan
We don't hold on to TWiT - Dane posts it the minute it's ready. (Which should be soon.)
- Leo Laporte
Is it cool just to buy a 32MB iTouch, most of the coolness, none of the AT&T?
- Steven Van Tilburg
from twhirl
Leo, can we get an audio stream feed of the daily TwitLive for us bandwidth challenged. I'm using EV-DO and it still doesn't quite keep up with your high bps. What speed are you sending out?
- Keith Rowland
I figured it'd be cool to buy a used, deactivated iPhone with most of the coolness and none of the AT&T, and it would still have the potential to be a phone again.
- MiniMage (FakeLifePerson)
I wonder if Super Monkey Ball would fit on a 32 MB iPod Touch:)
- Grant
I have to agree with Keith, Leo. Is there going to be an audio stream or podcast of some of the twitlive activities for the new iPhone debut? Being on dial-up it's hard for me to watch the video streaming.
- Molly
Waiting to see magic unroll on the iPhone 3G marathon coverage.. Leo, who is joining you on the 24 live?
- Du Senyao Peter
Leo should do it telethon style... Have really cheesey variety acts, I'm thinking a singing dog and a bird that runs a obsticle course. Then every hour you could cut to a scene of Dane and Colleen at a bank of telephones and a counter of some sort. "Hi and welcome back to the iPhone-a-thon, lets go to Dane in the tally room... how we going Dane?"
- Johnny Worthington
Yeah. Just click the Hide link and then you can set the options to always hide posts of friends-of-friends
- Grant Gochnauer
It only show you things that your friends liked or commented on. This is the core function of ff so you don't want to turn it off. If you're seeing too much junk, you have the wrong friends :)
- Doug Brooks
Next question -- does Friend Feed have a way to respond directly to someone or start a conversation with a specific person?
- Grant Gochnauer
@Grant, you can always comment. There's no "direct message", though.
- Paul Reynolds
@Paul Reynolds I thought that was the case. However if you comment or post something, the person you want to contact might not ever know if they aren't your friend yet :D.. @Paul Buchheit -- maybe a new feature? :D
- Grant Gochnauer
I like the friends-of-friends, my issue is that certain friends add all their followers, then I end up with huge list of random people that my friends don't actually know (making FF less useful as a utility for me).. does that make sense?
- Kevin Rose
the whole point is that you are only seeing posts that your current friends are liking or commenting on. The logic being that your friends are only recommending items of interest for you. It's also a great way to discover other interesting feeds. If you are consistently seeing bad articles try unsubscribing or hiding specific people that are providing the bad content.
- Doug Brooks
Noob! Click hide. It works for me. Welcome to the dark side, Mr.Rose.
- Mike Lewis
Took me a little digging to figure it out too... Robert Scoble has way to many friends who like to post.
- Keith Rowland
I'm a victim of Scoble's friends flooding my FriendFeed. Going to take awhile to get used to this site.
- Sam Houston
Kevin we are only separated by 6 or 7 degrees. But as the above posters suggest, dump some of the big time emitters of material.
- iSteeve
Nice clicked on hide and that did it for me. That sht was bugging me.
- nick
I unsub'd Scoble for precisely that reason, and F became much more usable. Subscribing to someone on Friendfeed isn't a matter of establishing a contact... it's picking an information editor and peer.
- Roger Benningfield
I wouldn't mind seeing this wither Kevin - Think a reshare to the Feedback group would be good. It's not the friends of friends that really bugs me. It's the feeds that are being attached to them (IE: If I want 'NewsJunk', I'll subscribe.)
- Charlie Anzman
You can always view someone's home page & discussion page (even if you don't subscribe), so subscribing on FriendFeed is more of a "if you need to see stuff as-soon-as-it-happens..."
- Mitchell Tsai
It'd be amusing to be able to see 'blocked-by-a-friend' posts. It'd be full of people in Scoble's timeout. Oh, and plenty of IgorTheTroll.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I was getting to the point of wanting this turned off. Thanks for asking the questions as I was getting fed up with Friend of Friends.
