Citysense gathers real-time positional fixes from mobile devices, aggregates them and plots them on a map. The result is a live “heat map” of human activity, displaying specifically which parts of the city people tend to use, and when. - Nils Geylen
@oliverg True, I consider myself hyperconnected and still have issues with FF. But if Twitter won't get it right soon... - Nils Geylen
Nils, since I have been on Friendfeed, my Twitter usage has drastically dropped to the point where I hardly use it anymore. The down time certainly has not helped. - Mike Fruchter
I've been looking for workarounds to some of FFs less interesting features. "Hide items like this" sure helps for Adium status updates etc. - Nils Geylen
Nils, Very interesting take on the experiment so far. It has given me some food for thought. On your blog you mention my negatives about comments being exported from G Reader into the room. That to me is a positive, the problem is notes pulled from G Reader are showing me as the person who left the comment, rather then the person who noted it and shared it. This bug could have some serious consequences. - Mike Fruchter
I still find the 140 char limit on twitter liberating. When I can type as much as I want on FF sometimes I panic. - Nate Koechley
Kenichi Matsumoto - I get this error when trying to add your feed. The given URL does not appear to be a Google Reader shared items URL - Mike Fruchter
Nick, Yuvi, Mike & Sarah, feeds added. Thanks! - Mike Fruchter
Kenichi, disregard that message. I grabbed the url off your feed. Thanks - Mike Fruchter
I thank you, Mike! I could have subscribed to some valuable shared feeds out of the room :) - Kenichi Matsumoto
Just wondering - do you add everyone, or is there a "bar" you have to be over? - Yuvi
Yuvi for this experiment, any Freindfeeder with a Google Reader shared account can participate. - Mike Fruchter
Andy, Jason, Erin, Thanks for participating. Feeds have been added. - Mike Fruchter
The only problem I see with this experiment is that for readers of the group like me, the amount of data is too big... It would be great to have a room with the links who had two or more likes from this one (for instance) - or better, friendfeed should let me choose "I want to see only entries that someone liked, or at least x people liked"... - Marcos Marado
Marcos thanks for the feedback. I should have an updated post of week 2 of the experiment, the pluses and negatives. Filtering is the next stage. - Mike Fruchter
Email is dead, or at least very unhealthy. Teens are abandoning the format as clunky and slow, opting for more rapid-fire instant messaging (IM), or text messaging on their mobile phones (SMS). - Nils Geylen
Early adopters serve an important role in the world of Web services and technology gadgetry. helping to act in a multi-pronged position that can blur the line between journalist, customer and partner. - Nils Geylen
"Great idea and good post. I had a couple thoughts about this, but decided on doing an experiment of my own. Instead of just commenting here, I've written a post myself, which I'll smear out across Twitter, Friendfeed, etc. In addition to Disqus and the lot, I'm anxious to see where the conversation will bloom, what'll get picked up.
Read my response here — oh, and I'm long past stats and ego surfing, so it's not a way of luring people to the old blog ;)" - Nils Geylen
Outside tech, skepticism and fear are the norm when it comes to social media. But it is about finding the best way to communicate. Social media consists of the same content already in use; The difference lies in its ability to open up new communication. - Nils Geylen
If I had a TV show like this in my country, I'd be done talking soon. Great show of tech being used in government. - Nils Geylen
I followed @johnculberson for a while (he represents a district nearby to mine). Too much complaining about "the other team," in this case, the Democrats. It would have been much more interesting to hear about what he does and what's going on without whinging about "the other team" -- D or R. Annoying. Unfollow. Next. (But, good on him for trying.) - Kirk Kittell
Culberson was my favorite interview today. More later after I decompress. - Robert Scoble
Maybe I'll give him a second shot. He seemed like a good guy -- just the R vs D thing is a non-starter (or in this case: an ender) for me - Kirk Kittell
Culberson is very down to earth, friendly and funny! highly likeable - great interview.. - Susan Beebe

A question I'm often asked is "What are the demographics of social networking users?" and what is behind that question is the need for some information to decide what social media strategy is right for their organization's goals and audiences and further - Nils Geylen

"How exactly did you do this then? Re-importing feeds is easy, whether you use your OPML file directly, or go by way of Toluu. Or did you only re-subscribe to your favourite feeds and feeds that Toluu suggested to you? In any case, I know a thing or two about Google Reader vexations; love-hate eh? ;)" - Nils Geylen
