Solid advice. I really like the part about looking into their stream and analyzing what associated services mean what about which users. I'm relatively new so preventing noisy feeds is good. However, you should give a nod to the hide feature which lets me hide services from some users. I am a huge fan of that since it lets me get down to the really good bits of content being shared. - Derick Valadao via twhirl

Useful primer. - kamla bhatt

@Derick: Glad you found my post useful. As for the "Hide" function, I use it all the time, but I did not want to dig into how to deal with the noise issue. My main point was to inform users how I deal with my subscriptions in order to ensure my feed is relevant to me and my interest. In the long run, this is the best noise reducer there is (IMO). - Justin Korn

@Justin: Maybe it would make a suitable topic for a follow-up. I know the hide feature has been documented in many places but it would be really helpful to have a recent, well-written reference on how to filter out the noise within feeds you would normally find interesting. - Derick Valadao via twhirl

@Derick: I agree, it would be a great follow-up, however, I think Louis Gray's article hits home on covering how to use hide (http://www.louisgray.com/live/...). If you haven't read it, give it a whirl and let me know if you still think another write-up is needed :) - Justin Korn

@Justin: ah yes. I remember reading that article. It did to a pretty good job. Thanks for reminding me. I did use some of his hints and it did a pretty decent job of keeping the talking points in focus. Maybe you are better to just link to the article in case others haven't read it :) - Derick Valadao via twhirl

@Derick: Chris Baskind also started this thread (http://friendfeed.com/e/6740da...) which has some good tips. I'm guessing he is thinking up a post on this very topic as we speak/write. - Justin Korn

August 4 at 1:49 am - Link

Martin Spindler, Shayna, Aviv, Mitchell Tsai and 6 other people liked this

FriendFeed has 400,000 uniques - divide that by 2 and you probably get a good number. (http://siteanalytics.compete.c...) - sebmos

Yuval thinks that there are ~75,000 active users. http://user21.com/2008/07/04/f... - Benedikt Koehler

Show 12 more comments

Benedikt: yeah, but when Yuval did this I had something around 13,000 subscribers. Now I have more than 17,000. So, I'd guess that we're more than 100,000 at this point. - Robert Scoble

Too many - Rob Beckett

True. What a difference a month can make. Things I'd like to know about Friendfeed: 1) the more or less exact number of FF users that are followed by at least one user and 2) the share of people having disabled FOAF notifications. - Benedikt Koehler

Let's start counting from zero. I'm +1. - Andrew Trinh

@Andrew ;-) But that's not necessary. We'll just have to count the users not subscribing to Robert Scoble and add 17,000 to this number. - Benedikt Koehler

If the rule of six degrees of separation holds true on FF, one could write an API app that starts with someone's subscriptions and follows them down 6 levels to get an approximation of the number of users. How long would such a program run? - Ole Begemann

I would find that application to be very interesting, we need someone on it. STAT! - Andrew Trinh

Andrew: I would find it interesting too but it's probably not feasible considering FF has some kind of limit on API usage. If you query 10 user profiles per request, that's still 10,000 API requests or so. Quite a lot, isn't it? - Ole Begemann

@Ole Begemann I've already written such a programm. Unfortunately not elegantly enough because sorting out the duplicates simply needs to much memory resources to run beyond 2nd degree :( - Benedikt Koehler

If I had to bet I'd say it's now more than 100,000, maybe even a lot more. Personally I'm interested in the amount of *active* users, not those who just lurk and share nothing. BTW, check out the numbers in this excellent presentation - http://www.slideshare.net/kell... - slide 13 says that on a given day in July, FF crawled Flickr on behalf of 45,754 users. - atzmon

@Ole you can read about the work I've done in this area (http://user21.com). You will hit a few limitations. First of all not all users are public, so you may know they exist if someone follows them, but you won't get their subscription list. Also, crawling this way will miss those users who are not active enough or not followed by others. For me, they were not interesting in the context of what I was trying to accomplish (I wanted the public active users). - atzmon

Benedikt: What algorithm are you using to sort/store duplicates? There are some that don't use much memory. See Richard Korf's work on search at UCLA. We managed to find perfect solutions to Rubik's cube. - Mitchell Tsai

What should we make of this - http://www.google.com/search?h... ? - Aviv

Interesting project, atzmon. - Ole Begemann

Aviv, Google doesn't know the whole truth ;-) Scoble alone has more subscribers than this. At this moment, FF6° has 20,000 users cached. - Benedikt Koehler

There are some benefits to being relatively unknown in the Twitter-sphere...the follower issue halved my follower list but I think most of those lost weren't active with my feed anyway. I'm more concerned about regenerating my "followed" list as right now other Twitterers provide more value to my use of the service. - Sally Robinson

@Sally: Yes, this is a bigger problem: when you are not an A-lister and don't have thousands of followers, you are supposed to actually track what the people you follow do.

Bloggers' Interactions With Readers Decrease With Prominence [Hutch Carpenter guest post at Louis Gray - 7/22/08]

The blogger really is playing a different game at Stage 4 "Industry Legend". At this point, you've become established in the market, you're busy with a lot of non-blogging endeavors, you've got too many readers to count, the trolls love to come at you and you've become expert in a field - Mitchell Tsai

Not surprisingly, your interactions decline. Jason Calacanis folds up his blogging tent. Seth Godin and Marc Andreessen don't accept comments. Even Robert Scoble feels it. - Mitchell Tsai

Robert Scoble is a Stage 4 blogger who interacts more than anyone on earth. He is truly the exception that proves the rule. But the limits of his interaction have been tested as well. In a post entered this morning http://scobleizer.com/2008/07/..., he decries the types of comments he receives on his blog as those from people "with an axe to grind". Digg readers' comments "are simply disgusting cesspools." - Mitchell Tsai

There are physical limits as well. Once your number of readers hits a certain level, there just aren't enough hours in the day to personally interact with each one of them. Those with superhuman energy like Robert Scoble and Gary Vaynerchuk do better than most anyone, but it's nearly impossible to maintain that level of engagement. - Jeff Beckham

yup, this is true, staying interactive at high levels is pretty difficult, especially because there are more demands on your time from other places. - Robert Scoble

With my very busy friends (e.g. CEOs), often all I get is a few-word-e-mail in lower-case from their Blackberry, but I know from their schedules that even that takes a huge effort on their part. It's why golf is such a great business skill - spending hours of time with people normally unreachable (or charging $1,000-10,000+/hr). - Mitchell Tsai

What does web 2.0 owe you?

June 1 at 10:55 am - Link

siavash, sergiooo, Saurier Duval, Mike Fruchter and 14 other people liked this

I think it's a fair criticism that traditional software development practices leading to a true 1.0 public release (rather than the perpetual beta of web 2.0) is going to give us better quality software. Of course nobody is entitled to a free service, but seriously, what the hell are people thinking when they build services for the mass market that have no discernible business model? (I'm looking at you Friendfeed). - Jason Wehmhoener

We're so spoiled out here on the fringes of the intertubez. Companies are COMPETING to give us free stuff and we whine and complain when our free toys are broken. It shows just how important our attention is, I suppose. Now, don't we all feel special? - Tad - just Tad

Business models are great and all, but they can kill creativity... It's a lot more interesting to throw things out there and see what sticks... Will you be able to monetize it if you're the thrower? Maybe... if it's a good idea someone will eventually figure out how to make it sustainable and everyone benefits then. We have to learn to be patient and let that process happen. It's Brainstorming 2.0. - Lindsay Donaghe

Is it really so stifling to think one or two steps ahead and say "gee, if this works the way we want to, how are we going to pay for it?". "Eventually figure out"?? Come on, this isn't rocket science. Business requires some kind of financial transaction that generates positive revenue. If there is literally no financial transaction occurring, then there is no business model and it's clearly going to become unsustainable once the deep pockets of founders and investors run dry. - Jason Wehmhoener

People like to say that folks are "more cautious" now than during the Web 1.0 bubble, but I'm not so sure. - Jason Wehmhoener

Solving a major problem always has value. Unearthing the way to monetize it is definitely a seperate process to solving the problem...via feedalizr - Keith Teare

As far as I'm concerned, if a company has a decent service and I find it really useful, I'll gladly open up my wallet. The problem from my point of view is not spoiled users, but the vast majority of Web 2.0 services provide no utility and aren't worth paying for. This stuff is free because the market won't bear paying for a social site to vote stuff up or down or a service that goes down all the time. It's the company's fault, not the users. I don't pay for stuff as sympathy for a silly business model. - Jason Kaneshiro

Without money the operational challenges of BPC become much much harder. - Jason Wehmhoener

I happily pay for flickr. I wouldn't dream of paying for Twitter. - Jason Wehmhoener

I am a developer, not a business person. I don't have an MBA but I know what I want and what services I'd like to have available. A lot of these services are put out there by developers because they find something interesting or useful and then it becomes popular because it is those things. It's a labor of love that suddenly has the potential for more. It doesn't start as a business but suddenly starts costing them more so they have to turn it into one. - Lindsay Donaghe

At some point between having a few hundred users and several hundred thousand, you'd think someone at Obvious would have come to the conclusion that a business model might be called for? Sure, developers will experiment, and those experiments will (hopefully) occasionally grow beyond expectations. However, once that starts happening in earnest, it's probably a good time for a developer to befriend a business person. - Jason Wehmhoener

@Jason W - do you have any idea how fast that transition from a few to several hundred thousand can occur? You could have a few devs doing it as side-work and then someone like Scoble comes along, likes it and brings his crowd. Within weeks you've got enough work piled up for devs to quit dayjobs and work full time. There's not much time to plan a last-minute, watertight business model on top of the life changes and hardware and software capacity upgrades, or it's not as easy as your making it out to be. - Lindsay Donaghe

Which is a really good reason to think about it ahead of time (stifling or no). Let me put it another way: as a developer I'd be really (very) disappointed if the fruits of my labors were destroyed by a lack of planning for success. It would seem like a huge waste of all those loooong hours. - Jason Wehmhoener

That's probably sage advice, Jason W. Though for most "geeks with a project" (http://www.randsinrepose.com/a...) it's not on their radar. Those details fall under "irrelevant" until they become a problem. We're not typically business people. - Lindsay Donaghe

Someone really needs to write a book that combines the architecture, development, operations and business best practices of web 2.0. hmmm.... - Jason Wehmhoener

Jason - it sounds like an even better idea for a development framework. Something with all of that kind of baked in. I think that's kind of the point of a lot of new development frameworks like Ruby on Rails, ASP MVC, etc. The point being that us developers should just be able to simply bring our ideas to fruition without too much worry about scalability, etc. We're not there yet, but ever getting closer. - Tad - just Tad

Hmm, not so much a framework as a collection of approaches to thinking about the problems. Unfortunately the solutions are going to be so varied as to make a single framework unsuitable for all problems. It's more of a process than a silver bullet. - Jason Wehmhoener

Notice this comment from the Twitter dev blog: "For expediency's sake, Twitter was built with technologies and practices that are more appropriate to a content management system. Over the last year and a half we've tried to make our system behave like a messaging system as much as possible" http://dev.twitter.com/2008/05... I think they might be referring to Ruby on Rails when they say "more appropriate to a content management system" (I am only guessing however). - Jason Wehmhoener

That being said, even a bad architecture can be worked around using vertical scaling if you have a healthy revenue stream. The book needs a chapter on "business development for nerds" (and legal and marketing couldn't hurt either) - Jason Wehmhoener

You're right Jason - I think Twitter is built with Rails. I'm not saying that Rails is the silver bullet framework, but it shines a light on the possibilities. - Tad - just Tad

There are echoes of web 1.0 where companies though they'd gain market share at any cost and then figure out a way to monetize later. Most didn't, but a scant few did. I think the same will happen in Web 2.0 (it has to really!) How many have a real *business* plan? - AJ Kohn

Oh ... one example of this working is United Online. It started (in part) as the Bluelight (bluelight.com) Free ISP. Out of that whole train wreck, the 'free' ISP switched to paid and found it's way to a real business. - AJ Kohn

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

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.

@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

selbst twitter ist in D längst nicht mainstream. würde mir was dezentrales, RDFiges wünschen. *das* würde dem charakter des web entsprechen. das netz ist der computer. - igor

Danke für den guten Artikel (starred, of course). Er wird mir hoffentlich als Argumentationshilfe dienen, um aus Imaginary Friends richtige Freunde zu machen :) - Felix

I'd love to see video commenting into b2evolution blog platform - Ben Borges

good point. but this only works in some cases. why? there's no links in video. you can't reference. that 100-40-10 rule is the best example. in video you just say it whilst in text, you could have researched it and linked it for the curious reader having the ability to dig into it further. - Martin Spindler
