Second life appeals to 30-40 year-olds. Look at the pictures you just posted - it's a kiddy world (cute nonetheless) :-) And others are far better integrated than the lame "Facebook integration" Lively offers. But still - it's Google... - Gaby Benkwitz

Does this mean that I yell "This is Spartaaaa!" while coding? j/k When coding I try to make my code more minimal. - Alan Le
Nice thing, in many cases it will help performance by keeping scopes limited and specific. Maintainability may be debatable, in some cases it will be good, but a high-spartan-level program may be rather unreadable at first. Spartan coding assumes code reuse and eschews Not Invented Here (cause why write it again if someone else has... thats less LOC for me!). Good term for a practice we should strive for. - Justin
"Is this madness? THIS IS DOT-NETTTTTTTTTTT!" - Scott Koon
Generally agree, although one character variable names and inlining to eliminate variables can lead to unreadable code pretty quickly. - Jon Galloway

Robert, I just posted this and you Liked it within 9 minutes. It's almost midnight -- get some sleep, my man. :) - Matt Cutts

yesterday at 10:34 pm - Link
They both have similar effects, but comments are worth more than likes. So are the selective likers who also comment wasting their likes? - Hao Chen
I like things I want other people to see and I comment on things when I have something to say. Which is why I commented on and liked this item. - Robert Scoble
Good question. Personally I don't think they're mutually exclusive, but if you like something and comment to the same effect it's a tad redundant. - Jonathon
I use them exactly like Robert. I use a like when it's something worthy of sharing and keeping. I know my friends will see it and I can come back to it later. I comment when I think I have something witty or valuable to say. Though, I don't think that this comment necessarily fits that criteria... - Eiwe Lingefors
sometimes I "like" something and as the conversation develops, I find something valid to "comment." - Aura Mae
I like Robert's guidelines. What about other people? - Hao Chen
Scoble was spot on here. - Yuvi
it is not guidelines, it is common sense. ;) but for example, I rather comment on this item than I would like it as I want to take part in the conversation. Compare it:do you rather social bookmark a blog entry or comment on it? - Nicole Simon
That's how I tend to use them as well. - Andrew Kraut
I use the "like" like an internal bookmark. Kind of like how Twitter has the star favorite thing. Usually for neet links or free apps. - Outsanity
i agree with Scoble - Justin
I often comment, like, then hide ugh.. - adolfo foronda
i only comment if i feel that it will add something to the conversation; i like lots of things, even conversations i comment on - Nathan Eckenrode
I like Aura Mae's explanation. Maybe instead of a like, it should be more of a "insipired!". - Franklin Naval
Why not? - Mona N
Like不一定非要Comment,反过来一样。 - Chris Qie
What Scoble said at the top. - Adam Turetzky
I assume that at one point they'll diverge the two more, so if I like it then I Like it, if I have a comment, then I Comment. They're not mutually exclusive to me. - xero
xero: they totally are exclusive. You gotta click on the "me" tab and then click on the links over on the left. I can see your comments separately from your likes, or I can see them both mixed together. - Robert Scoble
I follow the Scobleism, on this one. I comment on many more than I "like", but I don't always comment on everything that I like. - Spinn
So many people put SO much thought into this.. who cares! - Mona N
Mona: the system cares. :-) - Robert Scoble
I've been known to like a piece of media, see it rise to the top of my stream several times and then comment as the conversation grows - Julian Baldwin
@Robert - That comment reminds me of this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Spinn
depends how much you want to say, i guess - Pete Delucchi
I think that Likes are for times that you really don't have anything to add to the conversation, like a comment, but you do find the article interesting and you want to share it with people. Some times you really just don't have a comment to put up that isn't spam like "Interesting...." - Chacha
Robert: The system.... lol Why am I picturing a flowgram right now with you as the center and everyone's branching off of you haha - Mona N
why the hell not? - Noah David Simon
Mona: you were close. Actually Louis Gray is in the center. I'm just a big branch off of him. - Robert Scoble
Robert, I think it's about time I googled you. I know you're like THE MAN on FF but I still don't understand why haha. I'll make sure to Google this Louis person too.... - Mona N
I have nothing to say. - Michael Narciso
Mona: Google knows all. :-) - Robert Scoble
WHOA You have your own wiki entry LOL.. - Mona N
Good luck, Mona. If you don't like what you find, Robert and I will have a word with those Google people. - Louis Gray
i do what robert said...but if it is really important, i comment first, then a couple hours later i will like to bring it back up into the FF consciousness. - Pokai
I do one or the other or both. It just depends. I might like something, but not comment. Or I might comment, but not like it. And then there are the times when I like something and want to comment on it. It all just depends. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
+1 for Strategic liking. Nice. - Hao Chen
I guess people use the 'like' when they agreee but dont necessarily have much to add to the post - Jassim
Mona no, there is no thought put into it at all. That is just how you start adapting in these systems to find something you work best - and some things happen do be done similar by a lot of people. It was more work to write it down. Like grammar. You learned that once and while it is problematic to explain, you just use it naturally. - Nicole Simon
I don't think you will run out of Likes, so it's not a wasting really. Also, if I comment on something it's not neccessarily true that I like it. I used to comment on politicians but I don't like them :) - Roland Hesz
edythe just ran out of likes the other night. Then she had to add a comment saying, [Like]. Not sure what the limit is, but there is one. Just sayin'. - Lisa L. Seifert
Sometimes your FF comment inside "Show...more comments":) :( - Igor Poltavskiy
Yep! Comment when you want to participate in the conversation. Like if you want to have other folks read it (or bookmark it). - Susan Beebe
I use the "like" to feed them into google reader and share them there as well. - tomit
@Scoble, I think you misread, I was saying I do the same as you. I will both like and comment, because the two are not "mutually exclusive", that is it doesn't have to be one or the other. :) - xero
I think that both leaving a comment and liking a share is redundant. One or the other. - Czar Derek Peterman
Well ... what if I want to let the person (or friends) know why I like sth.? - Michael Klier

I made a top 250 list. Luckily for me, it wasn't a top 200 list. Or a top 249 list... - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
defaults - Allen Stern
wow OE, way to sneak in there - Shey
Heck, I'd ask for more followers (I would probably be about 500th or lower), but then Scoble would block me ;) - Vince DeGeorge
I am reported as having 662 but FF tells me I have 952. Seems like a higher than normal margin. If I understand it, those folks are either private or lurkers? - Sacca
wow I made a list (181) - Steven Hodson
Dan Farber > Kevin Rose. Go Dan! - Sprague D
Nuts that I made this list ... good stuff :) - Nick O'Neill
a nice list of enemies that must be destroyed. :) just kidding "I'm not here to make friends!" - Marshall Kirkpatrick
@Sacca, the author's said that they can only crawl active accounts that have published activity. There are likely _a ton_ of accounts that were created, following you for example, that weren't picked up due to inactivity. Mine was off by 25-30% as well. And if you think about it... even the most popular activities here just graze 100 likes or comments, not 2000, so there are a lot of people who don't participate. - Louis Gray
I'm with Chris, I'm being underreported, private ones? - MG Siegler
I have 63. I thought I would have made the list. - Rob Williams
ahh just saw your comment louis, thx - MG Siegler
This should be fun to explore new users. - Mark Krynsky
Darn, just missed. 5 minutes late, that should be my motto. - J. Phil
it's pretty interesting to me, actually, that for being as tiny, tech focused and A-list driven as people say FF is - nobody's got more than 20% of users following them and only 7 people have more than 7% of users following them. That makes me think things are more diverse around here than I thought. No? - Marshall Kirkpatrick
@Marshall The truth is, small blogs have a bigger voice here than any other social service. - Shey
#70, http://friendfeed.com/quixotic, "has not broadcast any events yet"...what's with that? Deleted all the services maybe? - Craig Eddy
damn 100 away from making the list - Fred Grott
a-lists are for suckas. and playboys. ;) - kris krug
Quality > Quantity. - Sprague D
@kriskrug then I must be a Sucka Playboy! Dont get how I could've make this list, but its a nice bday surpise anyway. - Schlomo Rabinowitz
Looking at a graph of the top 50 users, the Default Nine effect isn't all that pronounced. The distribution of users looks pretty much like the sort of thing you get when you do any graph of this sort (i.e. a classic long tail) http://kshep.posterous.com/gra... - Ken Sheppardson
i'm yearning for the day that the top 5 are non-techies...that will be a great day for Friendfeed! - Pokai
I especiallylike Pokai's comment—I'll be happiest when the top users are diverse people, not just "techies." - Cathryn Hrudicka
Pokai....I don't think that is even possible. - Rahsheen Porter
+1 Like for Ontario Emperor making it in - Hutch Carpenter
The list reports my followers at 255, FF shows me closer to 355, but still cool to be on the list at 209 even if I feel I'm not as active on FF as many, many others, guess I'm still relatively active... - Shannon Clark
Seriously humbled :) - Charlie Anzman
If my stats were reported correctly, I would appear in the top 100 - woo hoo!! - Susan Beebe
If they published a list of the top 75,000, I'd totally make it. ;) - Wes Justice
Alas, I've not hit the top 250... ;-) - Mark Dykeman
this list isn't as useful as a list of top n most interesting people (the people with the most "likes" or top n users with the most comments.) - Alan Le
I like Alan's idea. That would be fun to know. - Yolanda
+1 Alan! - Susan Beebe

The quality of the post from the people... BINGO! - Rom Feria
Good vid / reasoning Robert, but one question. You put a high value on the "real time" nature of Twitter (for good reason), but are you really highlighting the real time nature of Twitter via Google Talk? i.e.: is the "client" adding some of that value? If so, could FF in GT be of equal value? - Kevin C. Tofel
The client is certainly adding some of the value and, yes, I'd LOVE to see XMPP in FriendFeed so I could do the same thing here. - Robert Scoble
cheers to that! Need a client for FF, Ping.FM, etc. - just ONE client please. :D - Rom Feria

Agreed. At the end of the day, I don't care about the network or the protocol used. I just want a real-time conversation aggregator. - Kevin C. Tofel

Funny that the IM feature you value is unavailable and down so often... - Jeff Davis, KE9V
my guess is that you already have a lot of followers on twitter and will stay there to the bitter end because it is the path of least resistance. Eventually the features that make twitter so great will be available on other platforms, plurk for example, and while it's easy to stop a spammer on Plurk (as soon as the first person exposes the spammer/bot no one will follow them unlike twitter where scrape bots have the same juice as anyone else. - Darren Daz Cox
