Among no social group is this more true than the modern, International, professional elite: that tribe of young bankers, lawyers, consultants and managers for whom financial, familial, personal, corporate and (increasingly) national ties have become irrelevant. Often they grew up in one country, were educated in another, and are now working in a third. They are independent, well paid, and enriched by experiences that many of their parents could only dream of. Yet, by their late 20s, many carry a sense of disappointment: that for all their opportunities, freedoms and achievements, life has not delivered quite what they had hoped. At the heart of this disillusionment lies a new attitude towards work.

I like having each service as an individual contact. Much easier. Can we see the same for Pownce?

Well, IMified has taken bot to a next level.. I even created a customized option to check my google calendar appointments for today (a quick schedule for today) by interacting with bot! Not sure, if they have one for Pownce..

One year later. Just bumping this because it's the one year anniversary of the only item on FriendFeed to get more than 400 likes. (452 at the moment)

If you have non-geek friends who you'd like to introduce to FriendFeed, show them the main newsjunk feed. It's totally focused on news of the 2008 presidential campaign. We got some great stuff today. http://friendfeed.com/newsjunk
I feel the same way. Twitter has always, as far as I've known, been much more balanced. Not sure if FF is too hard for non-technical users, so let's find out.

I am not sure if non-geeks will be comfortable using FF, they still like pressing F5 on CNN homepage. :)

but my non-geek friends don't care about FriendFeed et al. as easy as it may be, their TV remote is still easier.

I hope I'm wrong about this, but the idea of linking out to a story and then coming back to participate in discussion might not be easy for non-geeks. Any way to get some graphics and more of an excerpt in the shares?
