- Bruno Miguel
I'm not clear how well a regular Google search feed will handle the chronological element of search feeds. That is, let's assume a search feed for "Kindle" will return the top 10 Google hits in a feed. Tomorrow, the top 10 results are likely to be exactly the same (how often to the top results for any given query change?). So what will a feed show? All new results (likely to be way more than 10)? Some mix of relevant new results? It's a tougher problem than it seems on the surface...
- Josh Bancroft
@Josh, it sounds like it's based on the alert system, so it will be a list of new pages matching that query. So the search feed shouldn't return the top 10 google hits but the 10 newest hits. If it supports link: and site: it will be pretty cool.
- Shawn McCollum
That is totally awesome!

@jabancroft good point, i've been thinking about that too. what i think is: Isn't Friendfeed a search engine that delivers results in chronological order? the results it delivers are different than google's because its universe its different. it'll be interesting to see how FF's search offer evolves
- Gabriel Aldamiz-echevarri
But will the results of the feed go past 1000?
- Tanner Hobin

I'd like not only site: and link: searches, but maps/local and google.co.uk but just plain old google.com will be a good start.

That's good news. We already had Feedmysearch, which I tried but doesn't work (refer to my blog for the story). I love Google Alerts, but would like to read them in Google Reader. This will do the trick!

I called this nearly three months ago. "I think it is very likely that the future will yield a Twitter crash." http://blog.awakenedvoice.com/2008...

So let me get this straight, you follow 533 people on Twitter, only 55 on identi.ca, you spend some time over there today and notice how much quieter and cozier it is, so you write a blog post about how nice that was and how that is the thing that will push people away from Twitter. If you only followed 55 people on Twitter wouldn't it be exactly the same? Isn't the "problem" with Twitter, the firehose, of your own making?
- Mike McBride
Mike: this trend has been happening in online communities since the 1980s. Early adopters blaze trails, everyone else moves in, things get noisy, the early adopters want to go somewhere else where they don't need to deal with the noise. FriendFeed actually has some interesting innovations to try to get away from the noise (rooms, blocking, hiding, etc) which make me hopeful, but even here we need better tools to manage the noise.
- Robert Scoble
Robert -- not long ago you claimed to revel in the noise -- what changed?
- Brian Sullivan
With all due respect, the tool to deal with the noise already exists, and Nev infers it in his post, make the list of people you follow smaller. No one forced you guys to follow that many people on Twitter, your "network" is under your control, so if it gets too big, and you feel the need to move onto something else, that's really your own fault, isn't it? Why are we constantly clamoring for new tools to do what we should do for ourselves?
- Mike McBride
not this topic again, meh
- adolfo foronda
@scoble: "...the early adopters want to go somewhere else where they don't need to deal with the noise.". I think its more the case that the early adopters move onto greener pastures because they find a better system that is more interesting. I think the reason why you and I both moved from Twitter to FF, for instance, is because its an improvement on the system. I may be wrong on your motivation, but that was mine and believe that to be the primary force at work here.
- Andrew Baron
Brian: I still revel in the noise. But you gotta realize that if these tools are going to remain useful you've gotta serve people OTHER than me. I keep asking for these tools so that I can get more people on these tools without destroying the experience. Mike: a smaller list will not make the noise go away. Even my brother generates 99.9% noise.
- Robert Scoble
Andrew: true, but people loved Usenet until the AOL'ers came in. Then they started moving to somewhere else, or opening up new groups that the AOL'ers didn't know about.
- Robert Scoble
"Better" means "better ways to manage noise." The real problem is "what is noise?" To me talking with early adopters about, say, iPhone apps this week, is lots of fun. In six months? Won't be so fun anymore. So, right now iPhone apps are high signal. In six months they will be high noise. That's the condundrum of communities. Brian and I used to hang out every day in Netmeeting newsgroups. Now we're here. I find that funny.
- Robert Scoble
Mike, I understand your skepticism. Note that my post doesn't say anything about pushing people away from Twitter, only that I think that a tipping point will happen that will drive people to one service. Doesn't mean it won't be Twitter: it could be Twitter. And Robert is right: trends like this have been happening with online communities since, well, online communities. And I agree, Mike, that if everyone was on Identi.ca, the noise problem would still be there.
- Neville Hobson
There is an elephant in the room that we aren't talking about: late adopters generate noise for early adopters (and vice versa).
- Robert Scoble
Ugh, not this topic again. From day 1 I've been picky about who I follow on Twitter. I don't feel like it's any noisier today versus 12 months ago. Come one people - don't forget that everyone's Twitter experience is different. Just because your Twitter stream has gotten out of control doesn't mean it's that way for everyone.
- Mike Doeff
I would argue that FF already has good tools for managing whatever your personal definition of noise is. Of course I only follow 300 or so.
- Brian Sullivan
@scoble There is a difference between users of a system and first adopters. A user is the kind of person you describe who will move somewhere else for social reasons. Its not about a change in technology that is the motivation for them, but its the cramped spaces. A first adopter however, is someone who is different and tends to move on the next thing by nature because it's the next thing.
- Andrew Baron
I just cut my twitter followers in half last night, not because of late adopter noise, but because of early adopter noise too. Now I follow or get updates from just my closest friends who have a great twitter personality, I think it would have been nice if twitter just let me group people in the first place, then I could soften the noise?
- karl dotter
@scoble "To me talking with early adopters about, say, iPhone apps this week, is lots of fun. In six months? Won't be so fun anymore." -a great definition of what is noise to you, and if you had a small group that contained those early adopters, they probably aren't going to be talking about it in six months, they'll have moved on to something else. It's the larger groups that then contains the noise. Nev, the noise would only be there if you increased your followers, if not, you don't see it, no?
- Mike McBride
"Tipping Point" usually refers to an upwards inflection point in adoption, rather than a downwards one. Perhaps "Jumping the shark" is a better term, though even that term usually means 'the last great thing that, in itself, carries the seeds of the coming downfall. Neither one really works. "Beginning of the end"? (Mind you, I don't believe any of these are true. I'm just being a neologism-nazi.)
- Kevin Fox
Kevin: I'm in the UK and no one's heard of the phrase 'jumping the shark' here. Everyone knows 'tipping point', though ;)
- Neville Hobson
Mike: "the noise would only be there if you increased your followers, if not, you don't see it, no?" I kind of agree. Maybe it depends somewhat on who those followers are, eg, quality not quantity. But that's too deep of an analysis that I don't see value in doing.
- Neville Hobson
@scoble - re: "here is an elephant in the room that we aren't talking about: late adopters generate noise for early adopters (and vice versa)" - only if you automatically follow everyone, Robert. If you pick who you follow more carefully you won't have that problem. That's why the Twitter spammers haven't bothered me much either.
- Dave Fleet
from twhirl
Dave: no, that's not true. Even if I subscribed only to you, I see a ton of noise on your Twitter account. I've been building online communities since the mid-1980s. This is a common problem and we didn't have Twitter back then. The best thing we did on Compuserve is have a place where we could move noise. We called it the Off Ramp. That kept the conversations pretty good for a long time until Compuserve imploded and the early adopters moved somewhere else. FriendFeed sorta has that ability...
- Robert Scoble
But we haven't yet seen the real wave of noise that will definitely arrive as the community here grows.
- Robert Scoble
By the way, I don't autofollow ANYONE here on FriendFeed. Everyone is hand picked and hand subscribed to. If someone really goes noisy and doesn't provide any value (like a jerk or a spammer) they get removed from my sight very quickly. Still, there's a lot of noise and repetition here.
- Robert Scoble
Good CompuServe analogy, Robert. CompuServe forums: those were the days :) Still remember my CIS ID!
- Neville Hobson
Robert: Think of repetition as echo -- working in SV you should be used to it ;-)
- Brian Sullivan
I hear you. My point is that if you don't follow the masses as they join Twitter (as the current example), you won't hear their noise. Sure, everyone generates it, but you can't purely point to others when you have to opt-in to see what they're saying. I haven't followed many new people in a while and Twitter has remained fine for me.
- Dave Fleet
from twhirl
Brian: funny thing is when I travel I hear more SV echo than when I go home. You are now to watch http://www.twittervision.com for an hour and let me know where the echo comes from.
- Robert Scoble
Dave: I turned off the autofollow on Twitter a couple of months ago. I never wanted to subscribe to the masses, only to the passionate early adopters.

I wonder how much of the demands for information is based on the fact he is a celebrity and how much is truly in the name of 'the interest of the stockholders.' Can you name the 14 current serving CEOs of Forbes 500 companies who are living with cancer at this exact moment? No. In fact, there might be more than 14 (I made up that number, just to prove the point--I have no idea how many do or do not have cancer). I think the biggest reason there is interest is his celebrity status, not the stockholders.
- Andrew Leyden
I find the journalists obsession with people's medical information rather distasteful. A few minutes research on the topic would tell them all they need to know instead of prying and whining. Basically, anyone who has that sort of surgery will require a colostomy bag, which will inevitably lead to infections and loss of weight. That's not something I would want to talk about in public and few probably would either. I wrote an alternative view here http://oncologymarkettrends.blogspot.com/

- James Clark
Oh please. Blame the user? Seriously? The problem is that popular content is reshared - that's the very nature of social media. FriendFeed currently makes no effort to show how many people are sharing, bookmarking, tweeting etc the same content so the discussions around that content become segregated little silos. This is one of FriendFeed's biggest challenges to overcome, IMO and speaks greatly to the "noiseness" of the system.

I guess its because you see people you are not directly following so it's easier to find interesting people to follow. Mind you I'm new here so I'm reserving judgement till I have a few more than zero friends :)

Is Friendfeed the next Google?

all the info you need in one place - at least I spend more time on FF then I used to spend on google apps
- Dieter Schwarz
For me they serve different purposes. If I need reference material I use Google. If I need news or comment, I use FF. It has replaced Digg and similar services for me.

Totally different interaction for me, they both serve a purpose and have their place in my daily activity online!

Im not sure that it is, but I must say I find FF search very useful

Duncan, I guess after TechCrunch, Friend Feed is a Paradise! lol
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
no
- Baard @ Pixum
@igor, true, the nastiness in the comments isn't here thankfully. The conversation is far more civil
- Duncan Riley
Duncan, I think Michael is partially is to blame for it. While he Flames people he suppresses decent. It is a Two Way Street!

Duncan, please check my Digg favorites and see what you can do with the cases that I am advocating for http://digg.com/users... Thank you.

What is FriendFeed to you? A social website? An aggregator? A community based site on shared information? Describe what FriendFeed means to you and how you utilize it.

all the above
- Tyler Gillies
from twhirl
yes, I agree. It is all of the above. And full of interesting and intelligent people
- Baard @ Pixum
It seems that its "all of the above," but when you find something of interest, what do you do with it?
- Colby Olson
click on it. don't ever share. because if its on friendfeed then its probably already been shared like 100 times
- Tyler Gillies
from twhirl
Why not share whats interesting to you? Sure, it may contribute to the noise, but isnt that what people depend on in Friendfeed? Is it not a place to share both information and personal opinion?
- Colby Olson
FriendFeed is all of the above for me as well, I like interacting with like minded people on topics/subjects that are interesting to me!
- Joe Dawson
from twhirl
@Joe but does that mean that you share things that interest you, or that you only comment on whats within your feed on Friendfeed?
- Colby Olson
A social aggregator with community :-) It's great for discovering new things + people, and the discussion is usually first rate.
- Duncan Riley
@Duncan Does it usually mean that you contribute to the conversation on whats interesting to you?
- Colby Olson
an aggregator/discovery tool and conversations with smart people.
- Anthony Citrano
@Anthony Does this mean that you contribute to the conversation within Friendfeed? Do you re-share what is interesting to you?
- Colby Olson
@Colby: correct - and yes. (but often not using "re-share" because I worry about passing the same stuff to the same people over and over..)
- Anthony Citrano
@Julian Yes, I agree, as is Friendfeed the fuel for my blog aswell, but how often or much do you contribute to the sharing of information within this community?
- Colby Olson
To me, FF is a community built around the sharing of information from other locations. Other services (such as Twitter) facilitate connections but FF allows you to have in depth discussion about any of your stuff in one place. I don't use it as an aggregator per se but as a place to react to the aggregated information. FF doesn't replace things like Google Reader for me, it works in tandem. You are not always able to follow in real time on FF so GR is vital for holding stuff to browse at your leisure.
- Colin Walker

@Anthony How do you use what is interesting to you on Friendfeed.com?
- Colby Olson
@colby yes. Always. And I get a lot out of it as well and learn from smart + different people. Take away the interaction, and FF is no different than the other slew of aggregation services such... and I have to credit that knowledge to Louis Gray.
- Duncan Riley
@Colin What do you get out of those discussions from Friendfeed?
- Colby Olson
@Colby: talk about it (here and elsewhere), share it with others, sometimes write about it, etc.
- Anthony Citrano
@Duncan What do you do with this knowledge from smart and different people you converse with on Friendfeed?
- Colby Olson
@Anthony How much does Friendfeed contribute to your writing and creative process?
- Colby Olson
@Colby: too early to tell. Ask me in three months. ;)
- Anthony Citrano
@Anthony Haha, fair enough. Im only wondering if Friendfeed is a major contributor to what you write about and how you feel about the information shared within Friendfeed.
- Colby Olson
@Colby depends :-) Obviously learn from it, but other times it may seed a idea for a post or even point me to breaking news. It introduces me to new ideas and services as well.... great way to keep up with what's new
- Duncan Riley
@Duncan Is friendfeed a major tool in keeping up with what's new and most talked/shared about?
- Colby Olson
Oh dont die on me now. Too early for that.
- Colby Olson
@colby yes. Twitter use to be, but FF has taken its place
- Duncan Riley
@duncan If you could list your three highest sources of information, what would they be?
- Colby Olson
Aggregator and discovery channel
- Rai
@Colby As others have said, I get fuel for the blog and plenty of it. I also get to see and discuss things that my normal browsing habits wouldn't have found so there is a large element of discovery and learning.

FF to the rest out there is is like articulate speech to sign language
- Dani Radu
I really don't know yet. I'm still getting used to it, but I like seeing what interests other people.
- James Ferguson
FF is an information aggregator that lets me discover items faster of may not have found and then provides a great context for discussion. Social information junky chat.
- AJ Kohn
Thank guys, for the great feedback.

Liked. Steve, you do know how to end an article making us want more... And I empathize with your thoughts. I had to be dragged kicking and screaming into Facebook and similar sites, and I still hate them. FF just seems so much more natural.
- Erik Dafforn
FriendFeed's conversational threads are what make it fantastic
- Glenn Batuyong
FF fits into my work style better than Twitter as it stays up in a window but out of the way when I'm working. the recommendation aspect cuts down on surfing time and makes me more productive. The aggregation weights the posts and aloows us to see what's important.
