Is Louis Gray the Next Robert Scoble? - http://www.socialmedian.com/story...

SUMMARY: 9 months ago most of us hadn't even heard of the guy. But today he's breaking tech news like the best of them. Active on FriendFeed. And, already the most popular non-employee Newsmaker on socialmedian. http://www.socialmedian.com/users...
- Jason Goldberg
Who wants to be the next Tad Donaghe?
- Internet's Tad
I think Louis Gray should rename his site Fake Scoble. :-)
- Dread Pirate PJ
from NoiseRiver
I don't think he is breaking news and I think he would agree. As he said yesterday, he uses and abuses (my word) products and services for a period of time before he comments. Thats not news. I do think Louis is probably one of the best and most INFORMATIVE bloggers in the english world though. PS. I hate TechCrunch news, and prefer substance and information like Mr LG :)
- Roger Kondrat
I think they're quite different. Like 'em both.
- Chris Baskind
He's definitely the best writer, regardless. Informed, humble, unique voice.
- Rick Powell
With Louis Gray and Robert Scobles, it feels more like editorials and opinions compared to the press releases kind of posts that lot of other bloggers write.
- Nishith Shah
boy the tech elitism is incestuous. why would anyone want to be called the Next...
- Noah David Simon
Funny question. Complete Different however. Louis is more analytical, Scoble is more storyteller.
- Jeremiah Owyang
You guys are being too nice, of course. Scoble does a great job being himself, and I'm just happy to participate. I'm not out to be anybody else.
- Louis Gray
Is Louis Gray a Scoble killer? Early adopters are taking to the new platform with gusto, but some analysts believe that an upcoming Scoble upgrade will put the brand firmly back on track...
- Sprague D
Why would he want to be the next Scoble?
- andy brudtkuhl
Let me correct myself. I don't think Louis is going to replace Scoble. But, I do think he is evolving into a worthy counterpart and compliment and fresh face on the scene.
- Jason Goldberg
I'm trying to be the next Louis Gray. I keep coming up short, though. :-)
- Robert Scoble
@Scoble: you and Mariam just need to crank out some more babies, then :-p
- Dread Pirate PJ
from NoiseRiver
Pirate's got a point. One baby at a time isn't going to cut it in this competitive marketplace.
- Louis Gray
Of course, it only works if your kids can hold a job ;)
- Jason Carreira
@Scoble: And Louis' twins are by far the yongest emplloyees I've ever seen, especially on a tech blog. I think your son lacked some promotin initially :)
- Svetlana Gladkova

You gotta put the kids to work early in promoting the family business, at least, if not in helping earn the family's bread directly. It's how pirates turn a profit. :-)

- mathew ingram
You can't really say that Louis Gray is going to be the *next* Robert Scoble. Having a bunch of Scoble-clones would probably make the Web boring. Louis Gray is unique and interesting. :)

Social Median doesn't seem too different to me from Twine. Essentially you form conversation networks and clip articles, which based on that data, algorithmically figures out what news you like and don't like. But it's good to see that the next wave of innovation is in personalized social news aggregators... Now we just have to see who emerges from the pack as the frontrunner.
- Jonathan Wong
It looks nice and it's easy to create a profile and join relevant networks, although most of the active ones seem to be social networking-related at the moment. Seems similar to Twine in that it's clustering content around topic-based networks. I'd probably use it to find and share interesting content on Friendfeed and other blogs. But how many niches are available for social news sharing sites like this?
- David Young
from NoiseRiver
Interesting, but when you click on any link it always sends you to the login/registration page; and this can be a turn off….
- Joao
And here's mine: http://www.socialmedian.com/nishith...
- Nishith Shah
So far socialmedian has proven valuable to me. I've been turned on to stories I would have otherwise missed. Similarly, I seem more valuable on sm than here on ff. My own shares on sm have been clipped more than any of my shares on ff have been liked. A lot more. So that in itself encourages me to use it more. There aren't many conversations on sm that I can see, however, which is why I use ff, as well, despite often feeling like I'm wasting my time.
- Rick Powell
@Rick. I realize I'm digressing from the topic, but I've found that I get more Likes and Comments on FF if I share stuff to rooms, than just to my feed. I guess because rooms are focused around specific topics and they don't have as fast a turnover as individual feeds. Once you're subscribed to 20+ people, especially power users, your Friendfeed has a ridiculously fast turnover, meaning you may not see a share unless you use it constantly.
- David Young
hey all. reading the posts and wanted to reply about the registration requirements. Truth is we wish we were able to enable users to do more without registering but just weren't able to get that done in time for beta and didn't want to hold back public beta because of it. Will improve over time.
- Jason Goldberg

Robert, I appreciate your efforts, but I'm afraid that if I follow you (and you follow me in return), I'll have to deal with a lot of noise, and a lot of hype. Once you get worked up about something, you have this need to talk about it all the time, and to impose your point of view (ex: FaceBook). That's why I unsubscribed from your blog a while back. I couldn't deal with it any more. You shot down two of my comments without even bothering to consider them. Take this for what it's worth, no hard feelings.

Disqus just makes it easier for people to comment I think. Easier to comment = more likely to comment = more comments

One of the major benefits of Disqus not being mentioned here is the nested comments. That enables better conversations without using the @ replies necessary in Blogger, etc.

Nested replies is the main benefit of any of these grafted-on solutions. Out of the box commenting on most blog platforms is completely broken. Nightmare to follow once the volume begins to climb. SezWho, Intense Debate, and surely others provide this.

- Adam Kazwell
what about trackbacks?
- Ranjit Mathoda
Here's a crazy something I was thinking last night: what if bloggers wrote an entry, waited for it to show up on Friendfeed, and simply edited their post to point to the Friendfeed conversation? GOOD: centralized comments, more people signing up for Friendfeed (and possibly to that person specifically), much less likelihood of spammy comments, easier to move blog to new system later (don't have to move comments).
- Adam Lasnik
But the downsides: is fully reliant on FF and assumes it will be around forever, requires commenters to have a FF account, gives content to FF so many searchers would go there, not the person's blog.
- Adam Lasnik
If you want centralised comments, surely Disqus is the way to go?
- Ian Betteridge
from twhirl
I played with Disqus for a long time last night, though. Great customer service, really super features, and decent ease-of-use. Major downsides, though: Disqus doesn't yet have a sustained track record so (forgive me) I worry about them not being around in 2 years; even though one could get all comments out, that's still not effective portability IMHO. And two, for some odd reason, most of the Disqus integration options paste in comments via javascript, not php; search engines don't see 'em.
- Adam Lasnik
Disqus also doesn't show trackbacks yet.

I like to think of not showing trackbacks as a feature.

It would be nice if Disqus had API to post comments directly from friendfeed etc

Every grafted on approach for commenting seems to have issues - like invisibility for SEM, trackback not integrated, ownership of comments, etc.. That said, I'm using Intense Debate, and aside from some stumbles/bugs that they've quickly fixed, it's all good.

And Fred - definitely agree. Comments are golden. Need more. Will blog for comments! :)

why do twitter clients not implement a snooze / ignore / grouping feature? I mean that would really make sense for such an app.
