Show 32 more comments
simply? nope. =) - Camille via twhirl
Absolutely. There's still the phone, and coffee houses. And books. - Brent Newhall via twhirl
omg no! - Lindsay Donaghe
what is this "living" you refer to? - Stan Schroeder via twhirl
not without the web. - edythe
Of course not. Why would I even try? - Corvida
books? what's a book Brent, you mean one of those newfangled kindle machine thingys? - Thomas Hawk
actually i don't really need email. but web.... no can't live without it. - "31o5"
a world without email = nirvana, and probably unatainable ;) - DC Crowley via Alert Thingy
E-mail is good for signing up for more social networking sites. AMIRITE? - Akiva Moskovitz
books is what they call it when you surf for the tv schedule … i think - kosmar
Of course! Just two decades ago, I didn't have either of those things and I lived just fine. In other words, you kids and your fancy email and web. Why, back in my day, we used smoke signals and we liked it! (We were limited to 140 puffs of smoke per message. :) ) - Morton Fox
i could survive, yes. i would rather not find out though, it is too important to have around at this point of my life. if i could get rid of my phone number all together i would. - Chris Harris
I have never been without a method for electronic contact. I HATE talking on the phone. I would live, but it would be a hollow existence - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome) via Alert Thingy
Akiva has a good point. Ok, so email is not so so so dead. I guess you still need it to confirm social networking sites. - Thomas Hawk
@thomas we'll soon be doing this via txt - kosmar
My field is still very emailocentric. Most of the science world is. - Robert Peterson
I could still breath without the two, but things would be very very different. Email, at least in every business I know in England, is still CRUCIAL. Live without the web? I'd be worse off financially, buying biased newspapers daily (now £1+ per day). - Matt Harwood
I like Chris' opinions about the internet being a public utility. - Corvida
If email is so dead, why do the most prolific social networking bloggers complain about too much email? :) You'd think they'd get rid of it if it was so dead. - Bwana McCall
I wish some of my friends could live without email. One of my friends sent me an email yesterday with about 15 pictures of Jesus in it. I deleted it as soon as I saw the size of the attachments. Perhaps email should be dead, for some people. Bring back the twitfilter. - Harvey Simmons
+1 to Rahsheen - I hate talking on the phone. I wish all communication was face to face, IM, email and web comments. - Lindsay Donaghe
Call me old school but I happen to like e-mail. It's irritating when friends of mine use every medium OTHER than e-mail as e-mail. - Akiva Moskovitz
@thomas we'll soon be doing this via txt... now *that* would be slick! - Thomas Hawk
"15 pictures of Jesus in it." Yikes, better to just post all those pictures of Jesus to flickr and make them into a set! http://www.flickr.com/photos/t... - Thomas Hawk
Email is definitely not dead for me! In fact, it is now our school's official line of communication. :-P We are expected to check our email regularly. Want to get in touch with a professor? Email. Important news for students? Arrives in the inbox. - Shawn Farner
i'd love to live without email... - Iain Baker
@thomas That's exactly right. I'm trying to drag my RL friends onto Flickr and del.icio.us, but they're slow. I called up that friend and told him, "Dude, you spam like my mom." - Harvey Simmons
And do what? Go outside? Be productive? Spend more (physical) time with friends and family? Read a book? Yeah, I think I could. I love the Internet and email because it fills my constant craving for information and my addiction to it. I did just fine without it for 20+ years of my life. I'm sometime envious of friends who say, "Oh, I didn't see that, I haven't checked my email THIS WEEK yet." I check email the instance I get it - hyperconnected and all. - Vince DeGeorge
No - Geoff Longman via Alert Thingy
absolutely not - Torsten Eckert
What about, without social networks? - Mario Sundar
physically survive,yes. Live? NO! - Sarah Perez
To me e-mail is not dead. I still like e-mail too btw. I'd rather have someone mail me something personal or private rather then having it DM'ed to me on Twitter, or through a PM on some social networking site. It's easier for me to find back. And it's less likely to leak when something would happen to go wrong on a social networking site. - Rosana Kooymans
Email isn't dead. Period. And no, I would die without the Internet/Web, which by the way are two separate things. ;) - Eddie Ringle

"We caused a database to fail during a routine update early this afternoon. We switched to a replica and expect this recovery to take place quickly. We're all working on it and watching right now as Twitter gets back up to speed." Now how hard was that? Seriously. - Bwana McCall

@OntarioEmperor it may be. i don't think people are going to just suddenly stop using Twitter but I have to imagine that these problems have lowered the frequency with which people use Twitter. I have to think if they would have been more open and immediate in providing information to users that they would have increased the sense of community they were fostering. Instead I feel like they are coming close to overdrawing the "goodwill" account they have built up... - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

I do not rellay agree. I think FF can do more, for instance search and filtering. Just like I do now with RSSmeme and Yahoo pipes to filter some noise - Arturo Servin via Alert Thingy
Like the counter point of view Sarah. Gonna think about this one a bit more. - Hutch Carpenter
Is Friend Feed Doomed? Haha, can't imagine anyone here is going to click through on that headline. - Thomas Hawk
The fact that FB & MySpace have implemented 'status message' features hasn't killed Twitter. Why would Google FriendConnect et. al. kill FriendFeed? - Rubin Sfadj
too much bold font - tomio geron
@Thomas It is always the case with the Link Sharing Websites. We just read the titles & less than 5% I guess is the CTR. - Nikpay
certainly not- FF is still in early beta adoption phase. I have to agree @arturo with the filters /Pipes and Search. If FF has a tab where I can create my own pipes across 'friends' and then display results of personalization into a separate tab, then its becomes one of the most powerful vehicles on the internet for content management and sharing. Secondly, an 'alert; tab for terms also would be great - I make and break alerts using google,but this can be implemented on FF (I think). BTW FF can have openid - Peter Dawson
No. - Jason Kaneshiro
why so much bolding in the post? - acedanger via twhirl
Are posts about Friendfeed being doomed, doomed? - cmiper
I think we need to see the takeup of the social aggregation services that Google and Facebook launch before we pass judgment. I recently added my flickr photostream to my facebook mini-feed, but I haven't seen many people doing the same, or any noticeable effect... - Edward Barnieh
I commented on the post itself, but I can summarize: "Nope." - Vince DeGeorge
According to your theory, Twitter should of been killed the day Google bought Jaiku but that didnt happen because of the particular people that use Twitter. I have a feeling that FF is at its tipping point for usurping the Twitter crowds from Google, MS, etc. - Andrew Baron
I think Jarred wrote a very good post. There is a lot of stuff to think about. I'm inclined to agree with him, although I better not say that out loud on FF. Might get smacked by the FF fans out here ;-) - Alexander van Elsas
</smack> @Alexander van Elsas </endsmack> - LOL, what exactly are you agreeing too ? That if FF is not bought out, they will not survive ?? How can you come to that conclustion without know the business model or exit strategy for FF ? - Peter Dawson
I think it's too early to call it. We thought Twitter was the bee's knees at one time before Friendfeed came along and challenged that. Who knows what will happen in a year's time? - Morton Fox
Didn't really expect anyone commenting here to agree with me, haha, but I have enjoyed reading all your thoughts. This is much different than status messages or Jaiku "not killing" Twitter. Twitter and those services attack a problem in a similar, though competitive way. FriendFeed and the "connect" initiatives attack a problem in opposite, theoretically divergent ways. I think FriendFeed has misinterpreted the direction of the social web. It won't die tomorrow, but I think its days are numbered. - Jarred Taylor
Ahh, the daily FFFodder. Nope, not even close. - Jody C
Ok, and for my next FriendFeed link bait of the day... "OMFG FriendFeed is doomed, doomed, DOOMED! It will be dead in 48 hours!!!!!!! digg digg digg this here!!!!!! - Thomas Hawk
doesn't sound inflammatory or anything, or does it ? - Tudor via Alert Thingy
not if ironman can save it! - Karl
Today, FriendFeed is fine. Tomorrow, there will be an explosion of new social sites. You'll be able to plug in to every blog you visit. Every time, you'll have to create a new profile, load those details into FriendFeed, and then come here to keep track with limited ability to interact. Why not have identity, interaction, and aggregation through a single log-in? The social web is going to explode, and I don't know that FriendFeed will be able to keep up, especially now that the big boys are in the game - Jarred Taylor
@peter I think Jarred is right about everything becoming social. Destinations are part of a business model that marks the web 2.0 era. Once we get rid of that business model the web will open up and become socially more connected. In that sense Friendfeed right now is doing the opposite as Jarred noted. But I'm sure they will open up too. FF just wants the aggregations to pass through their database, because it will allow them to provide user powered search. Facebook uses the same approach - Alexander van Elsas
It can't. I spent way too much time here (and every minute was worth it... :) - Charlie Anzman
You can even think about it economically. Google and Facebook have enormous server capacity. If they control the identities, then they don't have to waste server load sending spiders across dozens or hundreds of different services checking for updates for hundreds of thousands of users. It's hosted with them. FriendFeed faces the problem that it wants to scale, but it knows more people equals more profiles on more services to ping. And so far, no business model to support expansion. - Jarred Taylor
James , it is not doomed, You can see the number of people commenting on your post, which means that there is big community here(even if we are early adopters). And community makes everything. Including Google FriendConnect. And also keep in mind, guys behind FF are the ones who gave us Gmail, Google Reader and 'Don't be evil' - Varun Mahajan
@Varun, don't assume that since it attracted early adopters FF will also attract mainstream users. That is a huge step that few ever are able to take. - Alexander van Elsas
I think Netflix and Amazon teach us that sometimes simple business models are quite difficult to execute, and first-movers with those business models prove really, really hard to crush. One of FriendFeed's strengths is that it not only competes with other social networks, it extends them. - Mitch Wagner
Interesting how even among the FF comments, there is no solid consensus. (Also, just FYI - that was a guest post on sarahintampa.com - but I love how it made everyone think.) - Sarah Perez
ok just think of it.. if FF is doomed, then why is it that every1 is complaining about twitter being down on FF ?? da whole twitter community is commenting on FF once again as on ( 20/05:4.25EDT). Early adopters and generic twitter users are being driven across properties by simple virtue of availability and ease of use - Peter Dawson
Hmm...a "FriendFeed doomed" post has a half dozen comments at the original post, and tons of comments on FriendFeed. Perhaps this is similar to unusually high statistical spikes for TV shows about Nielsen families, but it's important to note that FriendFeed is more than an aggregator. - Ontario Emperor
It was a good idea to add the FF comments to the blog. Looks great. - Alejandro S.
At the original post, FriendFeed Comments 35+. Disqus Comments: 7+. Competition? Seems like FF can cut Disqus grass. - Mo J
Although I wish FriendFeed comments were threaded... :) - Ontario Emperor
Sooner or later people will get it. Fast forward 12 months, and FriendFeed is the platform Facebook was supposed to be. Consuming raw FriendFeed material will remain popular among us early adopters, but up-and-coming apps/services built on top of FF will successfully reach and cater specific portions of the mainstream audience (FriendFeedInBigFontForTheAlmostBlind.com is probably already in the works! ;) - Aviv
More comments here than on the post means nothing, but nice try folks. :) There is no doubt FF trumps post comments. I never said FF is doomed because it is useless. Today, it is very useful. I argue that FF is probably doomed because the big players are creating solutions to fragmentation that will rob FriendFeed, a small fish, of its mission. We won't need to use FF to aggregate and annotate fragmented content when the content is centralized for us by Google/FB's new id management systems. - Jarred Taylor
Jarred you are talking to the turkey that is getting ready for Christmas dinner, no supporters here. but I still think you wrote a pretty good analysis. If things will work out that way, time will tell ;-) - Alexander van Elsas

How do you want to show it? Keyword? People? Why can't we group users? - Chris
I was just thinking "man i wonder how much good stuff I have missed" - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
Nice concept, but I echo Chris. How do you you define important? - Joel Gray
Me, too. - Francine Hardaway via Alert Thingy
important = anything not involving Jessica Simpson and/or Tony Romo - Harvey Simmons
try http://memeclouds.com/ - Mick
It's ok to miss something... You don't have to read everything. The cool part about FriendFeed is that YOU determine what's important. If I wanted it fed to me, I'd go to Techmeme, or some other service. - Bwana McCall
that would definitely make FF THE killer app! - julian_marain via twhirl
Importance would be defined by the number of Likes and Comments. - Akiva Moskovitz
Important things are different from one to another, so i guess it would need a filter. - Nir Ben Yona
Search function is not powerful enough to express the notion of importance. :) - Morton Fox
I guess they could use the Flickr model of interestingness? - Gerard van Schip
If you can decide on a set of parameters that would normally catch your eye as important, I'm sure Greasemonkey can do the rest. - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome) via twhirl
How about make a search page and subscribe to the RSS feed in a reader with smart groups. - Tom Landini
You mean, "I want a page that shows what important stuff I missed while I got my usual 3 hours of sleep last night without my internet IV stuck in my arm." - Thomas Hawk
akiva wins the prize. Things that have likes and comments. - Robert Scoble
Could there be some functionality like AideRSS? - Alex Williams
perfect idea...just came back from kitchen with salmon for lunch and sat down to "catch up on Frienfeed", so this idea is perfect! thanks for suggesting it! hear that Bret and Paul? - Susan Beebe
Me to; I have been working on a new GraffitiCMS theme for my site to bring FriendFeeds into the site in this manner. Looked at Scobles FriendFeed widget on his sidebar but that is just http://friendfeed.com/embed?us... also looked at Pirillo’s Social Me page-not sure what that is yet. - Kevin Tunis
This is why when I hide things, I don't hide them if they have likes and/or comments. My important stuff is on my main feed. I go venturing out on the everyone feed. - Bwana McCall
in case you closed that "second page" without scrolling/seeing all of it could come with another page - for the skipped bits ;) - Tudor via Alert Thingy
Now I know FF is really popular: I'm not the only user named Tudor any more. - Tudor Bosman
I think "important" stuff is really just making a group/category of a select few friends, or a global tab of a combo of 'most comments + likes". I'm sure someone is building a firefox plugin right now! (never used the group plugin I've heard about already) - Karl
You know what happens when two Tudor's meet - Tudor via Alert Thingy
I wan't a way to undelete if I screw up like last night! - Charlie Anzman
Robert. Te best thing about ANY aggregating service is that life goes on when you leave it. Forget about what you missed. Look at what is passing by when you return. If you missed something it's old news already - Alexander van Elsas
Do you know http://www.filtrbox.com/ Maybe this is something for you - Marcel Janus via twhirl
Does anyone else find it interesting that Robert Scoble defines what is important as what other people liked or commented on? I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. - Rob Diana
Well, it's no fun to go back to something that nobody is discussing... - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
Robert never try aide rss http://www.aiderss.com/ - arnet via Alert Thingy
FriendFeedMachine can sort items by # of comments or likes so that's a start: http://www.friendfeedmachine.c... Also a good tool would be FriendFeedLinks at http://www.friendfeedlinks.com. But I believe where you add value is finding important stuff before others, so this may not work for you. - Louis Gray
Something that shows most commented items! - Britney Mason
The problem is, we start relying on social services for direct communications without taking the time to be "direct". It is a lower priority form of communication. The real answer is, if something is important, it should be sent directly. If it is big news, it SHOULD make it to the top of the various outlets (tech crunch, cnn, etc...) If not, I agree with Alexander van Elsas. Forget about it, it's old news! - Joel Gray
@Ron Diana - that's the beauty of human filtering, ain't it? What do people who I trust find interesting. - Hutch Carpenter
ffmachine looks cool, but I couldn't figure it out in less than 30s so I quit (: - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
@Rahsheen - that's sort of my experience as well. It's beta, so I hope the UI will improve. - Hutch Carpenter
I didn't bother to look too hard, but I don't think I saw any Help or anything either. I hate when stuff looks really useful...but I don't know how to use it... - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
I also recommend the Greasemonkey scripts over at http://ffapps.com The group feature is really nice - Bwana McCall
You do of course see the fault in Robert Scoble's FF strategy. If he only looks at things that others have liked, and we all do that, well, then there isn't much left to be seen. If you are truly a noise adept, then you make decisions without others doing it for you. No need to wait for likes. Be the first to like something (or not). - Alexander van Elsas
There is already a thread started on the Feedback group for it. Or at least for some way of noting what you've already seen and what's new. - xero
Completely agree! - Marcie Lascher
Showing what is popular, either generally or with a chosen subset of people, would be a big Friendfeed plus. Actually, I don't know if I need that filter -- you've been a pretty good filter, just seeing what you like. - Alex Hammer
Agree 100% - richrecruiter
Soon, soon ;) - Aviv
how do you define important? - ouriel
Since your are on Windows, you could try bTT: leave it open with filters on minimum likes/comments while you are away http://btt.sobees.com. - Francois Bochatay

Just wait until Scoble has the Appleokia 1250N iPhone. You know, the one that forces you to honestly and fully answer each of his questions. That might bring the Internet to a halt. - Ranjit Mathoda
Maybe its my Mac but the audio of these (and most other) cell phone video stinks. more VOLUME please. - Geoff Longman
It's not you, the audio sucks hardcore for me too (On any PC I've been on). I really like some of these interviews, but some of them you should really take the time to get a real camera/mic setup. I know many are just happening on-the-go and that is cool, but preparation and better equipment for some would actually make me want to watch these (I've tried in the past, but the audio was not tolerable. Some worked ok though, like your first FriendFeed interview which was great ) - Bartek Gniado
