Listen. This is very important: IT'S ALL NOISE! Feel me? Signal is in the eye of the beholder, therefore, no single person can EVER say what is signal and what is noise. It is too subjective. STFU about this signal/noise crap. Yeah, it sounds cute, but COME ON!!!

WE are the noise-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems.

It's actually all signal. You may just not be the intended recipient. Just because you don't grok it doesn't make it noise.
- Victor Ganata
I've put this off long enough... "Cum on, feel the noize! Girls, rock your boyz!"
- Nine
You're right, Victor. I guess the distinction between the two is what I take issue with. I have no problem calling it ALL signal OR ALL noise :)
- Rah-PM 2012
LOL, Nine...I totally agree with Victor.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I guess we could call it uncompelling content. I wouldn't visit a site that had crappy content that wasn't relevant to me. FF is bordering on that for me these days.
- Oldengrey (Jay)
Minority Report! totally
- Sarah Perez
The signal/noise issue still applies, 2.0 tools need to bring you the ability to actually filter what you consider noise, giving you just the signal. Thats where success will come in.
- Stepan Mazurov
I don't need 2.0 tools...I have a Mark 1 Brain + Mark 1 Eyeballs.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
You can't rely on tools to tell you what's important. The tools will never be able to duplicate you. Once they can....what the hell do we need you for again?
- Rah-PM 2012
Yes, the ultimate irony is that people posting about how they hate all the noise are in fact CREATING NOISE! If you don't like noise, don't turn up your radio full blast, add to the conversation.

Agree 100%. And 3 years ago you could have inserted blogs as a medium and/or your favorite competing blog platforms in for Twitter and FF. No one cares *today*

I disagree on the validity of Twitter and FF and find the article by-stepped the main argument concerning the value of the developers and first adopters who contribute critically and thoroughly to platforms like Twitter and FF and their effects the foundational architecture for the future of digital life. How will we socialize in the future? How will our info remain secure? How will we...

Seems the API request from twitter is iffy. Sometimes I get a bad request. I may be hitting my API limit. dunno. Works otherwise.

cool toy but didn't work for me. I got this: Warning: file_get_contents(http://...@twitter.com/statuse...) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request in /home/steppek/public_html/Spyndle/TwitterFF/index.php on line 54

- Thomas Hawk
I am working on it now. I think it is because of the API Rate Limit.
- Kreg Steppe
looking forward to this if you can get it working :)
- Thomas Hawk
Ah, the good ol' Twitter API rate limit. Twitter Karma knows it all too well. :-(
- Dossy Shiobara
Dude... you rock! Worked like a charm. Like you stated, it's iffy, but iffy-or-not, it saved me a LOT of work! Nice job!
- Kevin Devin
Nice, worked. Not fully automatic, but it's a good start. Keep it up, Kreg!
- Mark Trapp
hmmm.. still not working for me. Getting the same error code above. Maybe I've got too many contacts.
- Thomas Hawk
After I waited a bit, I got it to run again. I had to wait out my API limit. Thomas, try it again in the AM after you haven't used Twitter in a while.
- Kreg Steppe
another tool use, http://internetducttape.com/2008...
- clarke thomas
Clarke, the fact that we've all used that tool and it no longer works with the current FF API is why Kreg did this one.

sounds good. I'll try it again in the a.m. Thanks.
- Thomas Hawk
Worked GREAT for me. I've just found dozens of Twitter friends on FF. Yay!
- Leo Laporte
Sweet! Glad it worked Leo.
- Kreg Steppe
hmmm... still not working for me this morning. Maybe Twitter's still mad about the whole shark eating the fail whale thing. Same error request above and I've posted nothing to Twitter in over 12 hours.
- Thomas Hawk
Sorry Thomas... that's the TH filter that Kreg put in place. ;-)
- Kevin Devin
Wasn't able to try it last night, but just did. Got five warnings (similar to above) but under that was a nice long list of results. :)
- Kevin C. Tofel
Tried it .Liked it. Worked. Added a few new people on FFd (to avoid confusion with Firefox)

I'll spend some time working on this later...now I must work. I'll send out a new message when I have some progress. Not sure about your problem Thomas.

i think it is hitting an api limit - "Warning: file_get_contents(http://...@twitter.com/statuse...) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway in /home/steppek/public_html/Spyndle/TwitterFF/index.php on line 54"

also a cool feature would be a select all and subscribe checkboxes next to each name. i was on page 4 and already had 50+ users on FF not subscribed to hehe.
- Chris Harris
cool, working well for me. Thanks. Glad I saw this.
- Nathan Rein
Chris: I am looking at the subscribing feature now....I think I need to use something other than the API. I didn't see that in the documentation.
- Kreg Steppe
The Ruby thing I looked at was using API for most stuff and reverting to parameters in a post to a form page for actually subscribing to FF people.
- Dave Slusher
I was thinking something along those lines Dave. Forming a HTTP Post from a script.
- Kreg Steppe
I think I have it figured out. Will see if I can work on it later tonight.
