The "xx" says all we need to know about this account. - Sunshine
Thanks, Sunshine! xx - Louis Gray
I would definitely follow me but I am biased. - Kevin J Hatton
LOL--yep. - Sunshine
xxx and you have a deal! - Kevin J Hatton
Thats how you are supposed to do it! haha ;) - Nicholas James
oh so funny. - anna sauce
what have you got against self-love? - Laura Norvig
So what really is wrong about shameless self promotion? If you don't love yourself, who can you love? - Martha
She probably thinks this app is about her, she's so vain. - Bryan R. Adams
I like it. :D - Faraz Mullick
There was a time, early in the days of Twitter, when you could follow yourself. I miss those days. *snort* O_o - pea
Like you could be in a relationship with yourself on Facebook. I miss those days. :/ - Faraz Mullick
did any of you told her you are talking about her? She wants to know. - Nik
I wouldn't be surprised if many people think this is some kind of a Twitter "command" that gets them more followers - LOL! - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Something I'm not vain enough to actually tweet: "#FollowFriday @dennis_jernberg!" Some people really *are* that vain... - Dennis Jernberg

For what it's worth, all my bosses are my friends in Facebook --unfilitered.
Sounds like the Way It Should Be - Shari Weiss
If you have to worry about friending your boss, you have to wonder if you're at the right job. (I said as much at an SFAMA panel a few weeks ago) - Louis Gray
i disagree :) - Allen Stern
It's not the boss I worry about. It's the folks beneath..... - Sean Kelly
I disagree, Louis. Many, many people should think twice about FB-friending their co-workers, unfiltered. From an HR perspective, it's not always in your best interest to cross the personal/professional line, depending on what kinds of things you (AND your friends/family) post. - Yvette Ferry
In the end it wouldn't matter. Your friend could one day be your boss. But then again, depending on what you post, perhaps not. - Nalin Perera
Thought this might be of interest. "Should You 'Friend' Your Boss? Let Your Boss ‘Friend’ You?" As far as I can see, "social-media people" have opinions on this that don't really gel with what happens in real life, among most employers/employees. http://hrdailyadvisor.blr.com/archive... - Yvette Ferry
I have a coworker that has a policy that the only social network she will connect with current coworkers on is Linked In. After one of us has moved on, she will connect on Facebook. I find it interesting, since I am currently connected with 40-50 other of my current coworkers. I hear about her outside of work activities in idle "water-cooler" chat, so I don't quite understand why the disconnect, but then again, most people are not as open as I am. - Travis B. Hartwell
Travis: I hate to hijack this thread (it's not mine, and I have no right), but what typically happens is that co-worker connects to co-workers and bosses, and then they come to know know a little too much about her personal life, so they judge her on days when she's not "feeling well" or "going through things". And then there's no wiggle room or ways to express that she's simply having... more... - Yvette Ferry

It was a fantastic ceremony. One of the best weddings I have ever seen. It was traditional Jewish themed, so I am wearing a yarmulke to match the vest and tie. Lots of great friends from my teenage years. - Louis Gray from iPhone
Louis, I own a yarmulke as well - my wife brought it for me when she visited Israel - Jesse Stay

If Twitter is the "pulse of the planet", then it just had a heart attack #Error503 #cardiacarrest #CPR
i was in the middle of pitching an event on twitter and it 503'd on me. You know how bad that looks/feels? - matt ceniceros
It's better than being IN the event with no Twitter-pulse. - Dave
even more reason to not rest a social program on one channel. - matt ceniceros
i was wondering about that...thought it was just me! - Jim Gray

SocialToo Launches App That Allows You To Publish From Facebook To Twitter - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
"Robb, this is one feature of SocialToo - not the entirety of SocialToo. The product, as it currently exists, also includes daily statistics of follows and unfollows on Twitter, the ability to send surveys to your social media connections, autofollowing and unfollowing capability, and URL redirection for Facebook vanity URLs, etc. I use the product and am on their board of advisors. This is a good feature to have to fill an existing gap. Should Facebook enable this offer in the future, that’s part of the process, not an end game." - Louis Gray
Nope - they only do this for fan pages, Holden. - Louis Gray

FriendFeed Debuts Real-Time Search Spanning 50+ Social Sites - http://www.louisgray.com/live...
ego search is fun again - Dobromir Hadzhiev
you lost your ego? :o/ - Rob Sellen :o)
Real-time search is a great feature.. Yeah! - John Serra
FF FTW! - Shane
Why I am using Peoplebrowsr for real-time search: I can quickly skim through 16 searches with three keystrokes using the right cursor key in just a few seconds. Bam. Zap. Mainlining the net with zero friction. I like it like that. - Sean McBride
@ sean - using Peoplebrowsr for the same thing. seems a little heavy though. - michael sean wright
A bit heavy, indeed, but I don't know of any other real-time search service that comes close to providing the ability to navigate so much info so quickly and efficiently. Monitoring dozens of feeds on what is essentially a single screen is a breeze. - Sean McBride
So does this replace Google Reader? - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
Sean: now some of the features that were available only through clients such as peoplebrowser can be had natively, making them more accessible to many users :) - Mike Chelen
That is really the right headline for this FF feature: the fact that it's real-time for all these different sites. FF continues to be a powerful tool, well defined and eminently useful and usable. - Andy Bakun
the real-time is interesting, but as you stated, since it's limited to only the FriendFeed base, it doesn't seem as powerful as Twitter search. Couldn't they expand to all FriendFeed, all public Facebook, etc? Truly searching real-time from all status across platforms would be scary good. - Stuart Miniman

4chan may be behind attack on Twitter - http://news.cnet.com/8301-17...
/b/ is relevant again? - Mike Nayyar
And possibly the suspension of legit accounts by Twitter - Jesse Stay
Who is 4chan? - Bill Masson
Oh man. What a mess. At least it's on a Sunday, eh? - Ben Hanten
This kind of thing always reminds me of rape. It's about losers trying to feel powerful. - Dawn
I agree, and since it was about gorilla penis, it's basically the exact same thing. - Andrizzle Gizzle
It also reminds me of Hitler. - Andrizzle Gizzle
HA!!! - "Gorilla Penis" That's rich... real rich ;-) - Brad Williamson

Brands focused on tools (Twitter, Facebook, Blog) without a strategy is like buying a hammer without having a blueprint for a house.
Which is great if you just want to smash things :) - Chris Saad

New Blog Post: Early Adopters and Finding "The Next Shiny Object" http://www.louisgray.com/live...
"You can sit on the sidelines and see this happening everywhere. In fact, much of the backlash against Twitter of late has been from the early adopter community who has been largely ignored, in favor of the celebrity of the week, making those who pushed the service initially feel like they are unwanted." This part of your post deserves a post on its own. There are many cases thinkable... more... - Alexander van Elsas
What exactly is the problem with Twitter's growth? Who cares if there are accounts with 30K followers and no content? Its not like you are required to follow them. Just ignore them, right? - Brendan Clancy
Brendan, the problem for me is that 95% of the alert e-mails I get from Twitter are now from bs accounts. Makes the feature unusable, and that is not what I hoped it would be. - Alexander van Elsas
Alex: From spammers following you? Thats true, that is obnoxious. I just don't understand why going mainstream would make Twitter any less useful than it ever was. As long as you don't go following Ashton and Oprah, you still get what you are looking for. - Brendan Clancy
I would like to be able to see who is following me, in order for em to make a decision if I would like to follow them as well. This becomes impossible if Twitter isn't willing to get rid of all these spam and fake traffic driver accounts. - Alexander van Elsas
