“Barack Obama on FriendFeed? Don't believe it. I met the guy who set up the account and it actually is done by a Republican lobbiest. He said he set it up to keep track of Obama and also to keep Obama's staff from using the account. I wish there were a way to authenticate that people are who they see”

Liked 'cuz I think this is hilarious. That lobbyist gets the Good Job Badge of the Day. - Craig Eddy
just like the folks who grabbed "robertscoble" on plurk. That seems like identity theft to me, it's one thing to have the same name but it's another to imply you are a another person. - Doug Brooks
Yet another proof of the classic comic: "On the internet, no one knows you're a dog." - Craig Eddy
Was? Patrick ain't dead yet. - Andrew Feinberg
Louis knows everyone. Yeah, it is Patrick. - Robert Scoble
Heh, you can tell he's committed to integrity, too: "McCain Nearly Outraises Obama in May" So you mean, he didn't. Friendfeed gave back the Engadget account to Ryan Block when he requested it: who do you have to talk to at the Obama campaign for them to make the same request? - Mark Trapp
brand squatting is a rampant problem. who should get to create the salesforce.com account on any service? i think this needs to be tied to domain ownership, possibly via OpenID - Kingsley Joseph via twhirl
Ahhh. That probably explains some of the items fed to the Obama-2008 room. http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ob... - Robert Seidman
O so you mean the man running one of two active campaigns in the US doesnt actually use FF? Well I never... - Anthony
Mark I am talking with someone from the Obama campaign on Thursday. I will ask. - Robert Scoble
plurk all over again... lame - Susan Beebe
Excellent, Robert. Now, I wonder who's squatting http://friendfeed.com/johnmcca... ... - Mark Trapp
classic. let's see how many comment this gets :) - Tim Hoeck
So is this like *real* politics where there's a real dude and a fake dude all with the same name? - Susan Beebe
I thought I read somewhere that Ruffini had the McCain FriendFeed account. Why haven't Obama's people complained? Are they gunshy after the MySpace account incident? Or is it unimportant? Same question to McCain, if Ruffini controls that too. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
what a fucking loser - Ryan
unless they use OfficialBarackObama. but i figure knowing this info couldn't they sue? - Outsanity
Pretty simple solution. Obama campaign creates a FFtogo account. Posts it on their site. The unofficial one gets ignored or blocked. - Bill Bittner via fftogo
By the way, John McCain is also Patrick Ruffini. http://www.readwriteweb.com/ar... - Louis Gray
This name squatting across socnets is silly. Fork over your DNA @scobleizer and only then shall you get that coveted @scobelizer moniker across socnets. Bow down to thy namesquatters. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
I believe it. Their Internet strategy was beyond awesome. - Charlie Anzman
Louis, what you don't know is that Patrick is merely a vessel in which McCain will enter when his body gives out. Sort of like Being John Malkovich, except Patrick is more interesting. - Andrew Feinberg
This is hilarious. But on looking at the stuff in the channel it is clear that he is promoting Obama. Why is he doing that.... baiting the folks to believe that this is the real official channel? - Vic Podcaster
Ruffini is a Republican, but he's very interested in the process, campaiging itself as well as social media. Not everyone is a Republican is evil, surprise surprise. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Sneaky. All is fair in love and politics. - Michael McGimpsey via twhirl
Lay off Patrick. He's a smart guy who happens to be on one side of the line. Every time I read his stuff or talk to him I learn something new. I can't say that for a great many Dems, sadly. - Andrew Feinberg
Dirty tricks in politics. I think Jefferson made them up. - Francine Hardaway
Just like Premier Wen on Facebook - Jia Liu
He is not a lobbyist he is an ecampaign strategist and blogger - identifying ourselves as Republicans (or worse Republican campaign operatives) on FriendFeed and Twitter is bad enough we don't need to be labeled as lobbyists as well. Next thing you know we are going to be "Republican lobbyist lawyers who own used car lots" - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
Marco you forgot the words 'extreme' and 'fundamentalist' :) - Erin Kotecki Vest
You guys don't see any problem with him purporting to be someone he's not? - Mark Trapp
@erin get back in your fort! I was pretty certain combining "Republican" "Extreme" and "Fundamentalist" would have been seen as unnecessarily repetitive in FriendFeed ; ) - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
Wow, everyone is ready to rip this guy even though he hasn't done anything malicious with the accounts. Has the Obama or McCain camps even asked him to give up the accounts? - Shey
By signing up an account name that is so clearly intended to be someone else, and not disclosing that is really playing on people's trust. If it was used to seed malicious information, surely thats libelous. - Dom Barnes
Yikes! - Mike Reynolds
i'm sure if the obama campaign approached friendfeed, they could get conrtol of the account. this is a non-issue - Baratunde Thurston
I Actaully befriend da obama handle , thinking it was a campaign person from Obama's camp...after all their Twitter handle seemed genuine and worked well. So what is FF's policy for such malicious users ?? Are they going to block account and freeze it or what ? and this is not just about having a prez handle and workin it. rather a community /social question.. we all know the rift on the Loren/Shel issue, but how do we & FF Mod's negate such trolls in this space ? - Peter Dawson
As long as there is no (realistic, scalable) way to check people's identities that works for everybody (so no credit card) and is free (or companies won't implement it), all this talk is useless. - sebmos
@Peter Dawson - Beside being an account that wasn't created by Obama's campaign, this account didn't do anything wrong. It's definitely not a "troll", as it didn't comment useless stuff, etc. I'm having a difficult time seeing the problem with THIS account. - sebmos
The account does not claim to be Obama, and clearly is not slandering Obama. Further, even if it WAS on Obama's behalf it wouldn't "be" him anyway. As for the whole squatting hew and cry, think of the nightmare. How popular would someone have to be before they could demand the special status of "he who gets to use one name everywhere"? Does Scoble get special treatment but a smaller person is just screwed? First come, first served is fine. In cases of slander or fraud there are already laws. - Soulhuntre
"He said he set it up to keep track of Obama and also to keep Obama's staff from using the account" - and you replied..... - Rashunda Tramble

Demonstrates how I use "Likes" on FriendFeed. Like it or not here I come! :-) - Robert Scoble
Robert, have you tried the beta version Google Reader for the iPhone? (http://is.gd/fCp). I've been using that on my Tilt and even there it's much better than the old mobile version. It does let you share with 1 click. - J. McConnell
Thanks for writing this...I really like hearing about how you're using friendfeed because i'm just getting a hold of it - raincloudcat
that's awesome. I'm really slacking compared to you, I've only got 761 comments and 649 likes! - Thomas Hawk
Thomas -- think of it not as slacking but as being more selective and discerning - Brian Sullivan
1201 this week, 5,812 all time. thank you for defending the like in your post. :) and i don't like blindly. though I know that is not unanimously accepted. c'est la vie, i guess. but i like boosting things that I think should get some responses and might not otherwise be seen. and often it turns into a good thing. - edythe
I wish you could search through just likes. - Micah Baldwin
I can see it now. The Guiness Record for likes - Charlie Anzman
my Like Stats: 290 this week, 2670 all time. Robert, I am hot on your trail! woo hoo! :-) (Edythe is on CRACK!) :*) - Susan Beebe
Well, I did 85 likes since I wrote this yesterday. So, hurry up! :-) - Robert Scoble

Shouldn't this comment use the photo feature? - Chris White
LOL! I just refreshed and said out loud "whoa, boxes." - Erica Baker
hehe Google shows in you guys still :p - BCK
Yeah, I just had the same surprise. Looking forward to pictures of the new place! - Jordan Hofker
Congrats!, remember to recycle those boxes. - Mike Fruchter
Yay new office! Hopefully you aren't moving like the last two startups I worked for.. as fast as possible in the middle of the night, etc., etc. - ∵JPGlockner∴
wasn't your office massive? - Alex Gawley
congrats, don't get drunk tonight, or maybe u should - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Well, then... you're not my real friend. Real friends would ask other friends to help move. Not that I'm complaining about not being asked or anything... just sayin', that's all. - l0ckergn0me
@Alex - That was probably the problem. ;) (Usually: Massive = Expensive) - sebmos
Alex: massive, and unfortunately temporary. It was massive because we got an incredible deal b/c they wanted someone to fill the space for 10 months, so they gave us a very good rate on the space. Our new space is more permanent (2 year lease). @sebmos: not expensive at all, thankfully :) - Bret Taylor
yay for friendfeed! - Alemsah
lockergnome: I thought the quote was "Friends will help you move. Real friends will help you move a body." - Kevin Fox
Looking forward to pics of the new space! - Vince DeGeorge
Woo hoo! - Eric Hamilton
Hope nothing bad happens on the moving! ;-) - Cesar Cardoso
Good luck! - Alex Sauceda via fftogo
I was wondering about that before I hit "search" - Ben Parr
that explains the boxes... staying in palo alto? - Jeremy Zawodny
مبارك باشه - saee:Dsharif
lol - that explains it ;) good luck with the move - riaz
where are the new offices, still in Mountain View? - Thomas Hawk
so that's what the boxes are for - Justin Leon
The new FriendFeed offices are literally across the parking lot. So if you've ever been to one of their open houses, you can park in the same spot. :-) - Louis Gray
love the graphic at the top!!! keep it up! - Stefan Hayden
congrats on the move! hope I get an opportunity to visit the new office. - David Vasileff
across the parking lot? Is it the eye-fi office? - Patrick Li
این دیگه کجاش این همه لایک داره ؟؟؟ - Mahyar
Ah that's why we see the BOXES... moving to where? CONGRATS on you new digs!! You guys need lots of room for growth!! :) - Susan Beebe
Good luck on the move. Shouldn't the new image link to this thread? - Mark Krynsky
Moving from a big office to a small office means one thing: FriendFeed is downsizing. - Amit Patel
Meraki, actually. Eye-fi is taking our old office, I think. - Paul Buchheit
So did any Silicon Valley FriendFeed users get a message from Bret asking, "Uh...you got a pickup truck?" - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
And I got to help out :) Was fun meeting you all! - Mustafa K. Isik
Wunderbar... - Mitchell Tsai
I thought the logo was to suggest that by posting items in your feed, you're sending presents to your friends. It was cute! You should bring it back! - Alex Mendes da Costa
You must be all moved in, the Logo's gone. I miss it, kind of liked it. Not that you need to start the Google-like logo of the day, but you might change it around once in awhile. - Victor Ryden

You are seriously fast. :) - Andrew Meyer
"None of your friends use FriendFeed." -I can't help it. I've tried to convince them. *tear* - Pat Hawks
Louis, if you're going to del.icio.us a link (is that a verb?) you don't really need to FF it as well. It creates duplicate entries and you are already aggregating your bokmarks into your FF. - Marc Vermut via twhirl
I didn't FF it (except to the LouisGrayish room) - Louis Gray
You lost me on 3. Is the comments fragmentation a problem or a benefit to my friends? - Alejandro S.
Comments fragmentation is only a problem if you use a bunch of diffrent sites. Most people just use Facebook. - Pat Hawks
Alejandro, I was referring more to the problem of jumping around to different social sites to see what your friends are doing on those different social sites. If you and your friends only use email, Facebook and Flickr this isn't really a problem. If you and your friends use a ton of social sites, it is. - Andrew Meyer
This probably bears more thought - why are more average mainstream users not getting into FF? I think Scoble also mentioned he was having a hard time convinicing others. I think people are turned off by the aggregation aspect and not fully aware of how the conversations are an attraction in and of themselves. - Jason Kaneshiro
I think people equate social networking sites to profiles, comments, and private messages. FriendFeed just isn't that. - Rah™
First time I saw FriendFeed, I thought it looked too much like Jaiku. Wasn't until later I realized it was like Jaiku except people actually used it. - Pat Hawks
My best friend from high school just joined Facebook. Yesterday. These things take time. - Louis Gray
Jason, I think the beauty of FriendFeed's conversation centralizer doesn't come into focus until you use a lot of different social sites. Most of my friends don't use a ton of social sites. - Andrew Meyer
I hope you will see that we are centralising the comments a LOT more Louis on http://fav.or.it - plus we send comments back here - to twitter - and to the blogs! - Nick Halstead
My 63 year old dad just friended me yesterday on Facebook and it freaked me out - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
I have this problem with my friends. I don't understand them. I finally got two onto plurk of all places. - Josh via twhirl
@Louis: funny, a few of my high school friends and college friends have recently (< 1 month ago) discovered Facebook. Their status lines read something like "oddly addicted to this Facebook thing!" - AJ Kohn
Maybe the "friend" in Friendfeed and Facebook will evolve to let you write in the relationship or connection. My 15 year old son sent me a Facebook invite recently and there was no family category. - Larry Kless
I just saw my wife's name pop up with "...favorited photos on Flickr", so I've apparently got *someone* on board. - Roger Benningfield
I think alot of it is the difference between the early adopter crowd that flocks to things like FriendFeed and Twitter and everyone else. "Normal" people (used with affection) are attracted to social media sites in order to do specific things, accomplish specific tasks. They want to stay in touch with friends - they use Facebook or MySpace. For Normals the application is just a tool that facilitates their goal. For Early Adopters experiencing the tool itself is part of the goal. - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
@Larry.It's labeled "In my family" and it gives you a dropdown where you can specify how you are related. - Pat Hawks
If FriendFeed is used as a dashboard to manage all your social services, and responses posted here can be imported back into the source service, then it doesn't matter if your friends are on FriendFeed, right? You can use imaginary friends to import non-member content...the biggest thing missing is Facebook import to FriendFeed (SocialThing! does it, why not FF?). - Bryan Landers
FriendFeed is the first service of it's kind I've shown non-geeky friends/family and not have them laugh/snicker/confused/eye-rolling/just not caring. It's interesting how important being able to view media inline is to folks. Oh, I subbed you LG cause of your feed, plain and simple. - Jim Stanger
@Jim: Is that good or bad? Meaning, did they just not even grok it enough to laugh? ;) - AJ Kohn
AJ: Still working on that Q. Many friends/family that are plugged in at all tend to think of these tools as a waste of time. I don't count those not plugged in as they tend to view being plugged in at all as a waste of time. ;) It goes along with my belief that all these Web 2.0 web apps are, in fact, lifestyle tools more than anything else. - Jim Stanger
I was expecting "Reason #4: Your friends are losers." But seriously, a few of my friends are on Facebook, but I'm not. I have dragged a few onto LinkedIn, but two have said it's too invasive. I'm not even going to try to get them onto Friendfeed for a while. - ha3rvey
Hahaha @Harvey - Andrew Meyer
I'm still trying to find "One reason your friends are still on Myspace" - Pat Hawks
i use friendfeed because andrew took advantage of my situation and i love him for that - Chris Nguyen
About 20 of my Flickr friends went to FB but after 3 months most of them left. There are about 30 hardcore Flickrites that use topics. I like FF because I can hang with the cool kids. - Russellreno
FriendFeed-sounds kind of cannibalistic,no? - Mark Forman
@Chris Sorry for freaking you out with the Imaginary Friend thing. - Andrew Meyer
My college friends are just now starting to jump on Facebook, and I just never had the desire to join myspace. Friend Feed is the juice that I am drinking. - Mathew A. Koeneker
Maybe i need new geek friends... - Freddy Montes
For me it's always "It looks interesting but I can't use it" or "I'm not into social media" or "What's wrong with x" and so forth. =\ - Jake (aka Jawee) via twhirl
Dragging friends here is futile. When we get them all here, we will be on the next big thing, so no good use of it. Just keep walking. - robertocastro
My friends aren't on Friendfeed 'cause they're not cool. Oh, well. - Chris Baskind
Well, I'm stuck following Louis Gray because he told me to. - Cyndy
LOL - that's all I follow - Louis Gray and Scoble...none of my friends get FF - James Hull
is there something bad about only following Louis Gray? :) - Jason Kaneshiro
James isn't kidding. Just Scoble and me. That'd be a different experience. - Louis Gray
What proportion of FF comments are about FF? Sometimes it feels a little like lawyers - existing largely to make work for more lawyers. - Elaine
my brother-in-law signed up for FriendFeed today. Does that count? - Thomas Hawk
they're not my friend _unless_ they use friendfeed - Tyler Gillies
Very insightful. - Eric Hamilton
More of your friends will start using FriendFeed when comments left on FF items are also pushed to the comments of the original source. For instance, when I see a friend atspond to my Twitter tweet using Twhirl, I check Twhirl out. - Andrew Meyer
I started using Friend Feed when it emerged from the cloud of tweets after I joined Twitter. I still trend to post more there as I started there but I am seeing what seems like an orderly progression to FF being my one stop shop. - Mathew A. Koeneker

Wikipedia AND videogames are to blame. - Jeduan Cornejo via twhirl
Can we blame Scoble too? - Pat Hawks
I run into a lot of people who question the legitimacy of blogs, but I don't feel that they are any better or worse than Wikipedia or the NYT. Our parents were taught to be descriminating in their information consumption. We were taught the same thing. If "kids today" aren't learning this, then we should blame the parents (thank god I'm not one!). They are the ones ultimately responsible for how their children turn out. - Jason Ellis via twhirl
I think 'anonymous' won that round in the comments. Anyway. You can't teach students to not use Wikipedia -- talk about a losing battle... But it seems like you could teach them to use it as a jumping-off point. Hell, I bet if teachers embraced Wikipedia as a tool, then students would learn to be skeptical and question the contents and do their own research, if only to annoy the teachers. (All comments tossed from my comfortable perch outside the educational environment.) - Kirk Kittell
I've told my kids that Wikipedia is a good place to start, but it's a good idea to verify with multiple sources. Some days, they make me want to make a bogus change to a wikipedia entry just to prove a point. - ha3rvey
Wikipedia lists all the article sources at the bottom of the page, right? What happened to using Wikipedia to find other sources? - Pat Hawks
wait a minute: he is saying that HIS kids are failing.... - Luigi Centenaro
Louis, isn't it a bit early to start worrying about this? :) - Mark Dykeman
Luigi and Mark, haha. :-) If our kids have already failed, that's on me. - Louis Gray
friend's an english college prof and refuses to consider wikipedia as a source for any paper. Funny. - anna awesomesauce
Wikipedia shouldn't be a source, nor should an Encylcopedia. Go back to the ORIGINAL source, lazy dopes. - Pat Hawks
Is our children educated? - Tad - the Meme Maker via fftogo
Wikipedia is a horrible source. On all but the most mundane purely technical articles it is a biased database moderated (and more and more often hijacked and abused) by a small group beset by political infighting and drama. Pay about as much attention to http://www.wikipedia.com as you would http://www.encyclopediadramati... - Soulhuntre
I think it's funny that kids *think* it's a source - anna awesomesauce
I haven't found Wikipedia to be as bad as Soulhuntre claims. - Brent Newhall
Wikipedia is not considered a legitimate source by many universities, and for good reason. But I don't think Wikipedia can be blamed for kids failing or making anyone stupid. What's stupid is thinking that Wikipedia is the Oracle of all knowledge and that everything is 100% true. It's great for getting information and the vast majority of it can be trusted, but it takes a little wisdom and common sense to know that you have to use multiple, diverse sources to verify anything. - Shey
I think if your looking up the specs for an obscure WWII era submarine model, Wikipedia is excellent :) I have been disillusion by the manipulation of the system by Jimmy for use as a weapon in his own sex life and the drama that constantly rolls through the moderation group over there. It's pretty disheartening. - Soulhuntre
Wikipedia is a spring board, doode. Since there is no original research on Wikipedia, you can (and should) always go back to the originating source. - Pat Hawks
Pat Hawks is spot on. It is a place to begin one's research not conclude it. - Mathew A. Koeneker

And people who visit FriendFeed also visit louisgray.com (#8). Congrats, Louis! - Benedikt Koehler
note: you have to be logged in to see the numbers. - Glen Stansberry
Oh, also... Friendfeed won't have as many pageviews thanks to the heavy usage of ajax that sites like Twitter don't necessarily use. - Glen Stansberry
That's 1000 times http://mathoda.com. Guess I have a ways to catch up. - Ranjit Mathoda
Steve, how did you get the Y access numbers in that chart? When I visit the Google Trends site, I do not see any. - Michael Carter
Weird - A small one project of mine I stopped half a year ago showed accurate numbers (2k uniques), but only for a four-month-period of time. Google shows _nothing_ before and after that.

“I leave far more comments on Friendfeed than I ever do on blogs. Reason: it's centralized!”
June 20 at 4:55 am - Link
I can't wait for Disqus to pull FriendFeed comments on a blog item back into the blog. Daniel Ha said they're working on it. - Dewald Pretorius
Steve, you're right. After most people start using RSS the commenting features of the blogs are used less. Friendfeed centralizeses my friend's traffic and makes it easy to follow different posts and respond quick. - Ansgar Wollnik via twhirl
Hurray Steve Hurray! 522 comments u have now - Scoble has at least 2000 : ) Beat him in next two weeks ; ) - Erhan Erdogan
@Ansgar: True! Additionally it's just the kind of filter I needed. I don't have time to read thousands of blog posts in my RSS reader a day. Blog posts my friends commented on or liked are likely to be sufficient. - Benedikt Koehler
I also feel the need to make a more well thought out and complete thought when commenting on blog posts, but maybe that's just because of the size of the text box in twhirl... - Jake (aka Jawee) via twhirl
I would have to agree about having your comments be more well thought out on the blog. It just seems easier and more fun to comment on FriendFeed. - possible248
Same here - I have to remind myself to comment on blogs every once in a while - Jason Kaneshiro
your feedreader and webbrowser is centralized as well - but it is a faster process here, like a feedreader with built in commenting and easy access due to similar css for every 'entry' - Nicole Simon
"webbrowser centralized" what? sorry, Nicole, but that doesn't make sense - marcel weiss
Commenting on blogs is easy. Commenting in FriendFeed is VERY VERY easy. That's the difference. - Ontario Emperor
@possible248 , Steve -- as a blog post is more of a thoughtful, time-consuming effort than an FF post, I tend to respond in kind when I comment on a blog. One tends to want to comment in proportion to the thoughtfulness behind the post. Hmm I said the same thing twice. So frikkin thoughtful I am. - Marko Bon
Reason 2 - we can read and LIKE / COMMENT on your comments... meta, meta FTW! - Susan Beebe
The only thing I find approaching the ease of commenting on a thread in friendfeed is leaving a comment on a disqus-enabled blog. That definitely makes me think! - ∵JPGlockner∴
Phil: Right on!! - Susan Beebe
Since FF comes to me via Twhirl, it's more of a conversation environment...everything wrapped up in a single window. I hit blogs for deeper content. That said, I will comment a blog link in FF instead of the blog if that's where the conversation is at....if a comment is made and no one reads it...was it made? - Marc Vermut via twhirl
google reader (or any rss reader) should allow us to centralize all of the comments that we leave on blogs and follow those threads as well. It would encourage more commenting as ff does. - paisano via twhirl
actually, with gReader (I think they haven't released the Firefox 3 version), you can leave comments from your Google Reader directly on Disqus, which is pretty cool. - xavier vespa
and it's ajaxy easy - anna awesomesauce
I've pretty much quit commenting on blogs. It seems quaint. FF is where the conversation is now. -
