It's OK to trust the cloud... as long as you have a backup of your mail, contacts, calendar, docs, pics... you get the idea. - Bill Sodeman
Meh, create your own cloud. VPS is inexpensive enough that you can do it on the cheap. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

oh thats bad... i guess backing up data is the priority now. - slax
What a nightmare! - Benedikt Koehler
And I was just going on & on about how running "apps" on your "computer" and generating "files" was going the way of the dodo bird, and all about web apps, the cloud... etc. My friend said "what if they did something with your data?" and I reply "what could they possibly do?" Ug. - Dean Terry
wow, that'S bad - Martin Spindler via twhirl
FOG - not a bad thing to have. Had a similar issue when "Teh GOOG" thought my wife was a spammer because she has a lot of people to communicate with. Send email, deafening silence. Please, pretty please, let me back in, deafening silence. Wait a week, maybe, hopefully someone will take a look at it. It helps my perspective on these issues to think that primarily Google isn't a company, it's an algorithm. Love what they create, but they're a little short on customer service. - Todd McKinney
Scary stuff - Shey
i wish the story was more clear on what activities this 'Nick' was doing with his Google tools before the problems occured. we all click right through the long-winded EULA legal-eagle language when signing up for lots of these services...maybe he was violating the Terms of Use. - .LAG
@Scobleizer has been banned from China http://lin.cr/10u - Igor The Troll
This totally freaks me out because I've seen that same message a couple times. All of a sudden, I go to my Gmail tab that I left open and it has logged me out. I put in my password and it then asks me to do a CAPTCHA. Then I get the message. I refresh the page though and it's all good again - it lets me login. However, when it happened, I was near panicking for a minute. What's going on, I wonder? I think maybe I should switch but switching email is *HARD*. Time to turn on automatic forwarding though? - Sarah Perez
@Sarah Perez: Just setup Thunderbird and have it POP to Gmail. Instant downloaded Gmail backup. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
The thing that could and should save him is the additional storage. He has a transaction record with his (assumed) credit info on it. He should be able to get somewhere with that. The fact Google did not recommend a course of action involving that upon conclusion of their investigation sucks belly button lint. - Michael W. May
Google owns me too. I have almost all of my email accounts collected into one GMail account. My GMail goes back to 2004 but other mail in there is older than that. If this happened to me I'd be devastated. Google really needs to respond to this. I'm not feeling really safe right now. - Kenya

@Stupid blogger: Good idea! - Sarah Perez
@SarahP - if you have a spare flash drive, try the portable apps version. You'll have a backup you can take anywhere. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

As I said in my comments, if you are paying for Google Apps -- pick up the phone and call them with your support number from the support screen you should have printed when you signed up for service as a PAYING customer like you would for any bill with a utility company. Did I miss something or gloss past this somewhere in the writeup Chris or was there no phone call placed to Google Apps support? http://www.chrisbrogan.com/whe... - qthrul
I have my Gmail setup to forward everything to an alternate backup account at dreamhost, where in theory I have 300GB of space available. It's come in handy every once in a while when Google's servers act up. - Carlos Granier-Phelps via twhirl
So, nothing was mission critical, but still. Think how many services you can't use if you lose your g-account. Gmail, docs, calendar, picasa, etc. It's not trivial. - Chris Brogan
I commented on the blog post, but I'll say it here too: "I’m glad that Nick got his account back. The system to recover your account asks you to try to remember information to prove that it’s you instead of a hacker, but I believe it still lets you recover your account much faster than the previous system that Google used." - Matt Cutts
P.S. One difference between Google and many other companies is with Google you can back up your email for free and easily. If you want to back up all your data in your Google Account, the Google Operating System blog did a nice summary post about how to do it: http://googlesystem.blogspot.c... . At least with Google you can pretty much pull all of your data out and back it up. - Matt Cutts
thanks @mattcutts. good stuff. - Christian Anderson
@Matt - thanks for commenting and for your ideas. It wasn't the Gmail account that was the biggest part. It was the fact that without THAT account, he was locked out of All Things G (don't tell Walt and Kara). That's way more tricky than missing an email or something. Right? - Chris Brogan
I think the key to safety here is diversity of services everyone relies on plus back up - a desktop client for Gmail, regular export of OPML, etc. - Svetlana Gladkova
This is horrrrrible!!! - Alexis
Another lock-out here: mine just got canned sometime between 9a and 11a EDT. Luckily it's a new account w/ no data, but still... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
I hope everyone scrolls down to read the comments instead of running way scared. :) - Marcel
I blogged about some interesting options for moving our data out of corporate control and back into the cloud. This is something I've advocated for years, great to see the discussion here. http://theprogressbar.com/arch... - Dave Evans
@Chris, there's several ways to look at this. If you're worried about losing data if an account is disabled, it's easy to back-up almost any data associated with your Google Account (see my previous comment about how to do that). If you're worried about not being able to use All Things G with the disabled account, you could always create a new account to access Google services. On the third hand, if you're worried about the actual disable-ing and how to correct that, there are good ways. - Matt Cutts
@Chris, continuing my comment on reversing a disabled account. :) For example, we provide a self-service tool to help get your account back: http://mail.google.com/support... and account recovery: http://www.google.com/support/... . I think Google provides better tools for online account recovery than most other sites. Some people do abuse Google accounts, so we have to be able to disable those accounts. We try hard, but no service will be 100% perfect. - Matt Cutts

The Ultimate FriendFeed Client
August 5 at 11:04 am - Link
The ultimate FriendFeed client is the URL, it isn't as needy as Twitter is, and doesn't need a client to make it more usable (at the moment). - Steve Isaacs
15 more comments
Perhaps FriendFeed doesn't need a client to make it more useful, but it is certainly needed to make it more accessible (for me anyways). Also, thanks for favoriting this, Louis. Also, thanks for commenting at Performancing and adding me as a friend on FriendFeed! - James Mowery via twhirl
that missing hide feature is indeed a good point. really messes up ff in twhirl. - Martin Spindler via twhirl
Above all else, I don't understand why FriendFeed and Twhirl have not agreed on the display of comments. Why on earth do they have the order of comments different on each one? Personally, I like the reverse chronological order in Twhirl, but when I visit the FF site, it always takes a moment to adjust seeing the older comments first. Regardless, consistency would be appreciated throughout most first and third-party applications. :D - James Mowery via twhirl
I like using FF on the web.. tried twhirl and it sucks... I agree with @Steve - why do we even need a client? - andy brudtkuhl
Andy: I would ask if you believe that Twitter is as useful without a client? If your answer was no... either you don't use Twitter or you are a madman! :D - James Mowery via twhirl
"Client" doesn't necessarily mean a desktop app. I do, however, see a need for alternative web interfaces. IMO, the successful third-party FF apps will be improved and advanced web clients. - Aviv
Yeah, I agree with Aviv. Especially with smartphones coming in their prime with the likes of the Apple iPhone, I see greater importance being put on third-parties. Who knows what could be created to utilize FriendFeed's functionality? I don't think we've even seen the true potential of third-party developers come out yet with FriendFeed. - James Mowery via twhirl
One area of opportunity for a FF client would be w/a native iPhone app. While the FF iPhone interface is fairly good, but an app could introduce some additional functionality (i.e. improved filtering). - Monty
I have been considering the creation of a site specific browser for use with FriendFeed. You get the web interface without the browser fluff: http://www.fluidapp.com/ or http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/1... - James Mowery via twhirl
James, I think the Twitter concept itself makes it that much more suitable for 3rd party desktop clients, pretty much in the same way that we have IM clients. I think FF is fundamentally different, especially usability-wise (ie. we comment, we check back for replies, there are rooms, different types of content being shared - from images to Twitter-like messages). Unlike Twitter - and IM for that matter, it'll be difficult for desktop apps to keep the users engaged in the FF experience for a long period of time. It works for Twitter - messages in, messages out. But FF requires the user to pay more attention and interact with the system in ways that I think are bound to be inefficient if using a simplified desktop app. - Aviv
James, while FF's current API implementation is great, I don't think we will see serious alternatives to the FF web client until FF lets developers hook into the constant stream of updates (XMPP is all the rage, it seems). It's still possible to aggregate FF data, but at this stage I think it's the main reason for the lack of rich FF clients. - Aviv
Aviv, while I agree, you just can never know. I wasn't specifically talking about desktop clients with this discussion. I think that web-based applications could be developed to better harness the FriendFeed data. For example, I'd love to see a more in-depth view of the activity that takes place on my FriendFeed account (somewhat like Socialistics for Facebook) or have a third-party develop a site that could allow you to aggregate different content types into one single feed for FriendFeed, or perhaps something like a third-party application that could notify you whenever your name or brand is mentioned on FriendFeed (like summize). - James Mowery via twhirl
I'd love to see a live activity heat-map of some sort that can display the relative activity happening throughout the world on FriendFeed. A simple map with color signifying the amount of activity that has taken place within the past hour, day, week, month, and year would be an excellent application. It could be made more useful, but even having something just like that would be astounding to check out. Stuff like that is what I'm interested in. - James Mowery via twhirl
I think a mobile client would be great... But I don't think we need another client for the desktop... @James I only prefer using a Twitter client because it pushes the updates to me - andy brudtkuhl
Andy, I also only prefer Twhirl because it gets the updates to me. When I want to share content from the web, I much rather prefer using the FF bookmarklet. I also use the FF web interface when attempting to catch up on information that I have missed. - James Mowery via twhirl
I like Twhirl, but not for FF - I would give a client that did all of this a try. - Leslie Poston
No client needed for FriendFeed. FriendFeed is the first service where I feel I don't need a local app. - Rutger Blom

The rise of the social media professionals
August 5 at 12:54 am - Link
Having seen this rise of the "social media expert", I think it's short-lived, just like Webmasters 10 years ago. These skills will slowly melt into what's typical marketing and PR, and you won't need people who are this specialized. See: http://www.louisgray.com/live/... - Louis Gray

Haha, webmaster! Haven't heard that phrase in quite a while. - Eric Florenzano
social media occultist :D - marcantonio severgnini
*yawn* It will go the way of the dodo. See also: "Chief of Monetization." - Cyndy
quite funny. we're all talking about specialization in managing communities. we're all talking building your network. we're talking 'brand embassadors'. and all this reminds me of plain lobbyism. only the scale being somewhat smaller. networks, pushing decisions, using influentials. sounds pretty familiar to a poli-sci student... - Martin Spindler via twhirl
Martin, absolutely, it's "lobbyism" or PR taken into the online realm, using all of these new and wonderful social media tools. - Eric Berlin
I see these positions more as educator roles. We early adopters sometimes forget how different we are from average business folks in terms of online tools we use. In 5 years when casual business users are much more comfortable with social media tools a social media expert won't be necessary or wanted but something else will. - Michelle Jones

Looks like Facebook is fighting back and avoiding its usurping by FriendFeed. Facebook now allows me to view my FriendFeed page inside their site. - Jared Evans
It already has. But it isn't called FriendFeed, it's called Facebook Activity Stream. - Martin Spindler
I think it might, I'm not much of a tech-savvy guy, and it's only recently that I've found the conversations accessible enough that I can jump in. Maybe the "people factor" has now outweighed the "tech factor" in my mind... - Danny Gregory
@Jared that's an add-on application, correct? I'm not sure it's an officially supported one. - Paul Whitaker
No, none of Friendfeed, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc. are truly mainstream, I would argue. - wrecks
Probably not. Friendfeed for masses would be called Facebook's or another social networks Activity stream. - Doruk
@Paul you're right: not supported by FB - Thierry R. Andriamirado
I think it's a feature set more than an application. It's a nice app right now for us early adopters, but it will go mainstream as features added to existing bigger networks. - Jason Goldberg
Oh stop! :-p Friendfeeding about Friendfeed is so meta.... just... just... just stop! :) - Aaron Brazell
LOL @ Aaron facebook is good but different and twitter doesn't allow enough space - Cecil Sandus
My bet: no way FriendFeed will go mainstream in its current form. But I imagine that what we see now is not FriendFeed's endgame by any means. My take: it's all about the data they're collecting. They've got implicit data (our clicks) and explicit data (our shares, likes, and comments). Get enough of that, and there are all sorts of wonderful things you can do. Comments, Paul? - Dan Kaplan
I access FF primarily through FB. For me, mainstream adoption boils down to two things - ease of use and ease of access. PS: I had no idea this conversation was going on until I checked my referrer list. Yikes! I need to get better at tracking conversations around the net. - Mia
I think it got quite a big push now that Twitter self destructed the followers. Just going down is one thing, but going down and taking acct info (such as who follows who) with you is quite another. I think we are now seeing the beginning of the end of twitter (which is great for FF). - Aaron Krug
To some extent, I think it already is. Lots of 'non-techies' already on board - Charlie Anzman
mainstrea, implies lowest common denominator, exactly what everyone wants to avoid :-) - Gregory Lent
I see FF as a critical component of an open social web - i.e. it _is_ the equivalent of the FB activity stream - except that the activities FF tracks are those happening on independent sites, rather than the walled garden of FB. To me that means that FriendFeed's success is dependent on there being a decent ecosystem of independent social sites out there. - Robin Barooah
FF isn't Facebook and Facebook isnt FF. Different audiences and different purposes. - JMSmiles
I don't think FF will go mainstream. It's too much of a nerd/geek hangout, and that's FAR from what the mainstream cares about. If anything, FF will be absorbed by a bigger already mainstream social networking service, once all of the kinks are worked out. I'm no expert though. - Louie

Wobei Twitter hier in Deutschland ja noch immer nur die Nische der Internet-Geeks abdeckt. "Normalos" kennen das Wort Twitter überhaupt nicht. - KaffDaddy
Daniel: Feigling! :) - marcel weiss
KaffDaddy: Ja, Twitter ist auch in den USA noch nicht Mainstream. Wobei es dort langsam losgeht. Vor allem weil in den MSM vermehrt über die breaking-news-Funktion von twitter bei Erdbeben etc. berichtet wird. Wenn Twitter in den USA im Mainstream ankommt, dauert es hier dann noch mal mindestens ein Jahr bis es so weit ist. Es dauert immer mindestens ein Jahr. Scheint mir. Ich nenne dieses Phänomen die Weißsche Lücke. ;) - marcel weiss
News über Twitter verteilen hat natürlich was. Bei Twitter ist mir im deutschen Raum das Grundrauschen zu stark, was jetzt aber durch FriendFeed verbessert wird: durch die rudimentäre Möglichkeit nach Begriffen zu suchen, kann man das Rauschen schon recht ordentlich ausfiltern. Das wäre übrigens mein NonPlusUltra-Feature bei FriendFeed: frei definierbare Filter, die ich über meine Freunde, aber auch über alle Streams werfen kann. - KaffDaddy
Marcel:Du findest schon noch ein ähh Opfer =). Zum Thema Twitter: Seid wir es auf dem Blog/Beta-Startseote haben, werde ich dauernd gefragt, was dieses "Dings" da rechts auf der Seite ist. - Ich glaube es wird auch in Deutschland schon Mainstram!!! ;o) - Daniel
oder um mit Luhmann zu sprechen: FriendFeed wird groß, weil es die kommunikative Anschlussfähigkeit von fast allem maximiert, was man so ins Netz stellen kann :) - Wolf
Wolf: Sehr schön. :) - marcel weiss
Interessanterweise regt Friendfeed so richtig Diskussionen zu Blogeinträgen an. Es ist viel umständlicher, direkt auf einen Blogeinrag zu reagieren. - Klaus Eck
Lifestreaming wird in Zukunft noch so einiges in unserer Gesellschaft auf den Kopf stellen. - Klaus Eck
Klaus: Was ich aber schade finde, denn so fragmentiert auch die Diskussion. Aber was rede ich: ich mache es gerade ja auch nicht besser. ;) Es müsste also noch eine Art Trackback-Funktion geben, die in Friendfeed abgegebene Kommentare in das Blog einträgt bzw. eine Synchronisation zwischen Blog- und FriendFeed-Kommentaren. Abteilung Wunschdenken. - KaffDaddy
was ja übrigens ein interessantes Paradoxon ist, also dass der Aggregator seinerseits wieder fragmentiert. - Wolf
KaffDaddy: Die Fragmentierungsdiskussion hatte ich im Artikel auch angesprochen. :) Die wird heiß diskutiert in den USA. Mein Standpunkt: Lieber fragmentierte Diskussion als gar keine Diskussion. Es gibt auch ein Wordpressplugin, dass unter den Blogkommentaren die Kommentare und Likes auf Friendfeed zum Artikel anzeigt. - marcel weiss
Marcel: Schon richtig, dass eine fragmentierte Diskussion besser als gar keine ist. Das Plugin hatte ich mir zwar schon gemerkt, aber noch nicht ausprobiert. - KaffDaddy
Ein Jahr dauert es immer. Richtig. Und dann ist aber häufig auch noch die Nutzung eine andere. Twitter wird jedenfalls von den internationalen Nutzern anders genutzt als von den hiesigen. Anspruchsvoller, um es in einem Wort zu sagen. - Martin Recke
Hmm, ich wette 3 Jahre. Wenn du verlierst, machst du eine Sendung bei uns. :-) - Frank Felix Debatin
@FFD: Die Bedingungen zur Wette stehen am Ende des Artikels.. :-) - marcel weiss
Hab dazu auch mal was gebloggt. Schade, dass der Vergleich mit last.fm nicht weiter ausgearbeitet wurde, denn genau das ist doch die Chance von FriendFeed. Soetwas wie ein implizites Web abzubilden und damit News dynamisch Filtern zu können. - Martin Spindler
Dazu müsste friendfeed aber mehr Services anbeiten die auch in DE genutzt werden. Mister Wong, Amazon.de, yigg - HVBX
@marcel Verstehe. War ich glatt schon versucht, meine Seinfield-DVD-Collection in den Ring zu werfen. Aber da "next big thing auf der re:publica" nicht gerade "main stream" bedeutet, ist es mir dann doch zu riskant. - Frank Felix Debatin
@KaffDaddy @marcel weiss Gut gelöst hat es Marcel Weiss über eine Querverlinkung von seinem Blog auf Friendfeed und umgekehrt. Solange die Fäden immer wieder zusammengeführt werden, lässt sich die Fragmentierung noch aushalten. Ansonsten hoffe ich auf Weiterentwicklungen bei Friendfeed, die Doppelungen vermeiden hilft. Der Hide-Ansatz ist sicher noch ausbaubar. - Klaus Eck
Der Artikel hat mich überzeugt. Bin wie man merkt seit gerade eben dabei, die friendfeed Welt zu erkunden. - Daniel Backhaus
