omarg works at NPR. They should be ALL OVER friendfeed. Why? Cause you can play audio here and have rooms and have much better search. But, omarg is in love with Twitter and all its spam bots. He'll be here in a year, I guarantee you. - Robert Scoble

OK Robert - I'll disagree with the time frame only because of the metric. If you mean - all over FF - you mean they have an account they use each day - then I'll predict 6 months. If you mean - committed - then I'll agree with 1 year. This gives them time for the review process and for them to see a return of investment on their time. - LPH™ and his dog P™

I wonder if this is an issue with "geek humor" in general - we get it, but outsiders have issues with it? - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

Sometime its hard to distinguish between humor and seriousness in 140 characters. That's one reason FriendFeed is good. I still use Twitter and Facebook as my main sites, but if FF had a native mobile client for Blackberry I would be using it a lot more. Also, if you meet someone in person, its easier to distinguish between humor and seriousness. Having talked with Robert many times, he is often mischaracterized by people who don't know him. - Patrick Moorhead

So if I can only comment on your twitter post on FF, does that mean if I want to comment on a FF post of yours I can only do it on twitter? *grin* - Geoffrey McCaleb

The whole point of technology is to make our lives easier. If you can have your cake and eat it too (i.e. get twitter and everything else in one place), why wouldn't you? - David Bill

Geoffrey: I see all so it doesn't really matter. - Robert Scoble

Some people are still interesting to follow. But the amount of noise for me is just too much. Besides I like FF a lot more :) - Peter Kruit

Agreed, The noise level on FF is lesser compared to Twitter... :) I wonder why ? - Asankhaya Sharma

Peter: I like friendfeed because I can separate people into lists. Guess which list I'm putting @aallan into? :-) That's right, he's an "A lister." Heheh. - Robert Scoble

lol, using FF comments like reach in a boxing match. Love it - Mark Essel

Asankhaya: because here there's a much deeper social contract for a whole lot of reasons. Also, there's just as much flow here. But it's easier to pick the news out of the noise. Finally, it groups messages together so that we perceive it as having less noise (imagine if we all tweeted these answers, but you couldn't see the other answers easily -- that's Twitter -- it's not that there's more actual noise there, it's just that it's chaotic and messy). - Robert Scoble

How does he feel about the real spam that's on twitter? - Kevin Whalen

Twitter is just becoming a place filled with spam and RTs of aggregated information from other sites with limited interactivity. - Bob Blunk

Kevin: he probably is one of the spammers and feels his business is threatened if everyone leaves Twitter and goes to friendfeed. It's a lot harder to spam people here for a whole lot of reasons. - Robert Scoble

Robert: Really not. I use Twitter for what it's originally intended for, social interaction between people I actually know. - Alasdair Allan

Oh, hi Alasdair! I knew you couldn't resist. - Robert Scoble

By the way Alasdair (this whole item is about his Tweet that I have too much irrelevant friendfeed spam). I just looked at my Tweet stream and don't see much friendfeed spam at all. My Tweet stream is here: http://twitter.com/Scobleizer - Robert Scoble

I do agree to a certain extent, one of the reasons I joined Pownce was because of threading and lack of text limits (like FF), though twitter has advantages as well.... - Geoffrey McCaleb

You all are too harsh on Twitter. I think Twitter is one of FriendFeed's best features. - Bruce Lewis from fftogo

Bruce: and friendfeed is one of Twitter's best clients! :-) - Robert Scoble

Twitter definitely has a spam problem. In the last 2 days alone I've had 6-8 new followers/spammers whose accounts were suspended. They all had a random year at the end of their username. Just trying to game twitter. - Kevin Whalen from email

Kevin: and it's getting worse. - Robert Scoble

I honestly don't mind it. Especially that the huge amount of people that have newly subscribed to me are people who follow me on Twitter. It could be the next big thing - Geoff Farinha

It's not just the spammers. There are the people who start off interesting and turn into spam machines. I've unfollowed a few of those. And I wish they could do something about the bots that look for keywords and follow or send @ spam based on keywords. THAT is noise. - Julie Barrett from twhirl

Someone should come up with a way to filter twitter better, so that you only can see what you are interested in. - Asgeir

Asgeir: that's what I use friendfeed for. Have you tried saved searches? Here's all items that get a like. That's a search you can't do on Twitter yet. http://friendfeed.com/search... - Robert Scoble

Robert: Tried really hard to resist. It's not as if I don't follow you on FriendFeed where your stuff makes sense. I just think FF and Twitter are (at least now perhaps they weren't at the start) aimed at different demographics. The same way that my social graph on Facebook really doesn't overlap my Twitter social graph by that much... and I use all three for very different reasons and to talk to different people. - Alasdair Allan

Asgeir: here's a Twitter filter. All tweets with one like or more. http://friendfeed.com/search... - Robert Scoble

Alasdair: you should have tweeted then "I'm unfollowing Scobleizer here on Twitter cause he makes more sense on friendfeed." Personally I agree. I'm noticing the early adopter types that used Twitter three years ago are moving in droves to friendfeed. It'll be interesting to see if everyone else moves too. My experience is they will. - Robert Scoble

Robert: Possibly more accurate, but I didn't really think about it that way till later. But I don't think it's an issue about moving to FriendFeed over Twitter and Facebook. I think they serve very different audiences. I don't think FriendFeed will be _useful_ for the majority of people. I certainly don't have time to wade through FriendFeed's river. Twitter is a quiet stream by comparison... so long as you don't auto-follow there isn't any spam either. Auto-follow was a daft idea, or a dated idea at least. - Alasdair Allan

I hate you're talking about Twitter on FriendFeed! ;) - Meryn Stol

Meryn: It's all very self-referential isn't it... :( - Alasdair Allan

Alasdair: I totally disagree. The search is what will get the average everyday person over here. Remember, three years ago everyone told me Twitter wasn't going to be useful to the everyday person either. Oh, and same thing here. If you turn off friend of a friend friendfeed's river is the same as Twitter's is, except that we have threading here. Oh, and if someone turns noisy you can separate them out into a list. Oh, and you can search and find good items here. I could go on. - Robert Scoble

Alasdair, FriendFeed's river rises and ebbs depending on whom you subscribe to. I have a FF account for my family's email list that's set up to send weekly summaries. That's how my parents' generation keeps up with the grandkids week to week. Guess what? Friendfeed allows you to have an account that isn't subscribed to @scobleizer. - Bruce Lewis from fftogo

*boggles at accounts not sub'd to Scoble* - Mark Essel

Mark: there are a few out there! Heheh. Most of them speak Farsi. - Robert Scoble

Robert: We'll see. I just think the FF interface is too damn complicated for the average-person-in-the-street. Too many options, too much control. Heck, I'm getting complaints from non-techie friends that they're now walking away from Facebook because it's become too complicated. Too much fluff around what used to be a simple interface for a simple job, keeping up with what your friends are doing. - Alasdair Allan

I think that is isolated Adasdair Allan. Sites like Amazon have done so well in part because they cram so much information onto one page. People like that, whether they admit it or not. Facebook has my sister and all her non techy friends absolutely hooked. Facebook has become the internet for them.

Alasdair, if they want a service focused on doings, I made http://ourdoings.com/ for exactly that purpose. At the same time, I don't think FriendFeed is especially complicated for what it does. - Bruce Lewis from fftogo

As far as Roberts Twitter feed goes, I find it incredibly useful. He's putting in the work to get the interesting stuff so I don't have to. If you take issue with that, go find the information yourself I say. - tech pops

Ok I'm convinced.. I am making FF my home... moving as we speak :) - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)

It's a shame you feel the need to restrict the conversation, Robert. - Chris Nixon

I think Twitter is a perfect place to make announcements of discussions or posts on any other service, including FriendFeed. In fact, I think that's about all Twitter is good for, it's certainly lost most of its value as a conversational tool (at least for me). - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Chris Nixon, how is he restricting the conversation? - Chris Heath

Rob, you're saying that Twitter is only good as a broadcast network, right? - Chris Heath

Chris, I think that's what Rob is saying. If that is indeed what he is saying, I agree with him. I resurected my Twitter account yesterday for the express purpose of letting a FriendFeed contact know that he hadn't noticed that I was commenting on his Tweets over here. - Andy Kruger

Follow up to my last comment: ... and I think my @ to him got lost in the spam flood on Twitter. - Andy Kruger

doesnt matter to me robert - (jeff)isageek

It used to slighltly irk me months ago when Robert would constantly be talking up FriendFeed while on Twitter but I'm must admit that he was right in the end. I'm here more than Twitter now and I'm very proud of FriendFeed for getting so many things right. - James

Andy: yeah I've done that before... found someone's twitter username via their friendfeed account then at-replied them on twitter to get their attention... - Chris Heath

I think you can talk about anything you want on twitter or anywhere. I used to think it funny that all your posts linked to friendfeed but hen I joined ff,, I go to twitter more but my posts, videos etc are posted here too and my feed items like blog, youtube get posted from here to twitter. I think you are ok Robert :o) - David Gross

I hadn't noticed ff until I saw the links in your tweets, and didn't understand it until I watched the 'intro' videos you made. It made me aware of the push/pull mentality that is key to managing the social web. Thanks Robert. - Justin Hopkins from twhirl

Chris & Andy: Yes that's precisely what I'm saying. The explosion in the follower game is what makes me say this. The majority of the people I know use twitter just for spreading around links at this point, and meaningful conversation is at a minimum. I can count the conversationists among those I follow on my fingers. On the other hand, nearly every tweet contains a link. Not all the... more... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Did not realize how much you can do with search in Friendfeed, tanks for the tip - Asgeir

@ Chris Heath: I think that Robert is restricting the conversation by saying that it has to take place only on FriendFeed, when the internet is alive with places to have a conversation. It seems an old fashioned idea to restrict to one platform. - Chris Nixon

So what's the timeline for FriendFeed to jump the same shark Twitter has in terms of it's dominant user personality? In any case, end user client tools arguments are often fundamentally religious arguments: sure, I could do "super search for stuff" on FooTool, but I like BarTool better for consuming data, so I'll stick with that. Hence, having interesting content, and easier abilities to link, consume, and mashup content between systems, is still what's interesting to me. - Shane Curcuru

@Chris Nixon: I don't think that's what robert was saying... i don't really get how he's restricting conversation? isn't twitter the ones who are restricting conversations with their 140 character limit and unthreaded comments (here we at least get one thread) - Chris Heath

I'm not being specific to Twitter. Twitter, again, is only one of many places this conversation can be held over. Robert has asked it to be restricted to FF. This is a good platform for conversation, but it has a low number of users. He is obviously trying to drive traffic here, but why does he feel the need to do that when the options are vast? - Chris Nixon

because the options aren't better? - Chris Heath

Ach each to their own. There are lots of places on the internet I like to have conversations. Blogs, Twitter, FriendFeed, Tumblr, 12Seconds, Facebook, Audioboo, Seesmic. They all have their place in my eyes. If you only want to converse here, that's cool. - Chris Nixon

Nope, I learn something every time. The discussions are always lively (if in FF) and informative. As a general rule I like other peoples' perspectives. - jcunwired

Chris, I totally get what you're saying, and you're right that there are other places to have a conversation online and I (and i'm pretty sure robert too) don't only want to converse here... but twitter has become the defacto place for public discourse online - kind of like a lobby in a hotel, a public park, or the sidewalk of a city street. Blogs are like our front porches; they're on... more... - Chris Heath

sorry about the length, and i hope my analogy/comparison made sense - Chris Heath

Um...don't you think that Robert is perfectly well within his rights to ask that if people would like to discuss something with him, that they do so where he IS? Robert is not necessarily conversing all over the internet, from what I can tell he's mostly conversing here. If he were to demand that you all have your personal conversations here so that he could join in I could see the... more... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

I'd love to see what iMovie '09's anti-shake algorithm would do with that. - Kevin Fox

Sloan: I like the small size of the FlipCam. A camera that gets taken with you takes more video and provides more value. The Kodak has slightly better video quality and takes AA batteries. - Robert Scoble

got mine literally in transit now, my 3rd flip cam - sean percival

How do you like the audio on those two cameras? The Kodak Zi6 audio sounded good when Chris Pirillo and Steve Garfield used it, but they were in environments with little background noise. - Bruce Lewis

Which Kodak are we talking about? - Missionary Broadcasting

These pocket cams are too expensive for what you get. $200 is a lot for crappy webcam quality video that doesn't take pictures. Also, the CMOS sensor causes a very noticable 'wobbly' video from the rolling shutter and slow processor. On the other hand, the CCD sensor on digicams aren't good for video either since you'll get purple streaks in high contrast scenes and a lot of noise in indoor/low-light. - Rodfather

Bruce: the audio works great. I have older FlipCam which I use here: http://www.kyte.tv/scobleizer and the audio is great as long as you stay close to the subject. Missionary: Kodak Zi6. - Robert Scoble

Rodfather: what would you recommend then? - Robert Scoble

Robert: 2 questions. Is the mic on the Kodak Zi6 as good as the mic on the Flip Ultra? IS the low light performance as good on the Kodak Zi6 as on the Flip Ultra? I remember reading in a review that the low light shooting on the Kodak is not on par with the Flip. - Gregg H.

I'd recommend a digicam from Samsung at the moment. They are cheap, take decent pics, and record in h.264. The NV24HD has a wide 24mm lens, but the main drawback is the sound cuts off when zooming. Still, it's cheap, small, has optical image stabilization, optical zoom, takes SD cards, and shoots in multiple video resolutions. - Rodfather

Greggish: I don't know. I will try to do a review. Mike Arrington is testing a few out too and we're going to Davos together. Rodfather: I'll get a Samsung too. They looked very nice at CES. - Robert Scoble

Robert - you never listen. :P The Flip HD is one of the *WORST* of these types of cameras, dude. You got taken. The Creative Vado kicks the shit out of the Flip Mino HD. - l0ckergn0me

Robert makes a good point that having the camera with you all the time provides more value. These are small enough to put in your pocket wherever you go, and to use for things you might not have thought of without them. Great if the next gen has some sort of always-available connectivity. - Tom Landini

Rodfather: It sounds good on paper to use the video mode of a digicam. But I've found that the movie mode on even the better digicams lack when it comes to adjusting to changing light conditions. When moving to bright light you get wash out. When moving to low light you get an almost black screen. Quickly adjusting to light changes and shooting in low light is something the Flip does exceptionally well, even if the image quality is not very high. - Gregg H.

l0ckergnome: OK, I'll get a Creative Vado. I didn't pay for a FlipHD yet. - Robert Scoble

@Greggish. Ya it really depends on your use. The processor for the Mino handles light well and with the CMOS sensor, is generally better in low light. Don't get me wrong, I like these, but it's coming to a price point where I'd look into other options with more features. These are geared for ease of use and portability. - Rodfather

Flip didn't send me mine, either - I wasted good money on it. I've done quite a few comparison tests, and the Vado tops 'em all (certainly, against the Flip). - l0ckergn0me

http://chris.pirillo.com/2008... - l0ckergn0me

Or, for an outdoors / color saturation comparison, you'll see the Kodak compares favorably to the Vado: http://chris.pirillo.com/2009... - l0ckergn0me

Chris I really hate that you use a weird spelling of l0ckergn0me here. Makes it hard to reference you on posts so usually I don't even try. Anyway, thanks, I put a link to your review in my blog and will get a Creative too. - Robert Scoble

I'm still going strong with my Canon Powershot TX1 ;) HD ftw. Everybody get a Vado. Vamos a Vado. - Bwana ☠

The Flip Mino HD has great video quality, but it the lens is surprisingly narrow. You never feel that you can fit everything in frame. I have some comparison videos between it and the cheap ($110) Memorex HD cam: http://simsbox.net/p18 - Daniel Sims

I've tried them all. FlipHD the best, but I've been somewhat frustrated with upload time. - Pete Blackshaw

I have tried 3 brands of HD palmcorders including FlipMinoHD and prefer the Kodak Zi6. Zi6 has higher quality video at 60fps, has real HD out with component cables, larger screen, and still photo capability. Mino does have the advantage on size and charges from USB. Also, watch out if you expect to play the HD videos on a standard netbook. I blog about that here: http://budurl.com/HDcam - Patrick Moorhead

Will 15-year olds look back 50 years from now and say, "They just don't write lyrics like 'My Life Would Suck Without You' anymore." ?

Probably. Today's adults who were teens in the 80s might say, "They just don't write lyrics like 'I Might Like You Better if we Slept Together' anymore." - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)

sounds like a Twitter spam purge, it's awfully high for manual removal - Duncan Riley

Lost followers for 'twitter-rrhrea' and insisting everyone's stupid. - Will Higgins™

I'm still here. :) - Josh Haley

Happy Birthday, Robert! :D - WorldofHiglet

Maybe you lost 600 spammers! :) - philos

Will: I only called a few select people stupid. Like @karikari - Robert Scoble

Even you only piss them off that much by the dozens Robert! ;) Those spammer purges seem to go in batches of 300. Then again, who knows - maybe you were being followed by 600 special snowflakes of the 'fragile ego' variety. ;) - Lucretia Pruitt

Don't worry, they will see the Real World and turn back to you:) - Serbay Arda Ayzit

Haha - Rodfather

I can't remember the name of the app, but it listed the top twitter users and how may people they added or lost for the day. Just about everyone with more than 12,000 followers had huge daily fluctuations in followers. Anyway, Hope you had a great birthday:-) - Michael Fidler

Um? How'd you know you lost 600 followers? Sry if that's a stupid question. I honestly don't know how you'd find that out *blushes* - Nathalie

Nathalie: go to http://www.twitter.com and sign in. It shows you how many followers you have right on the home page. This morning I had 49,940. Now 49,300 or so. - Robert Scoble

i think it was 600 spammers or hangers on who were trying to get more followers boosting thier twinfluence - Damian Holmes

I thought it was illegal to not follow you on Twitter? :) - Charlie Anzman

from your diss of twitter in favour of friendfeed, they just listened to your orders sir and migrated: that's the power you hold over us ~ the most influential man on the internet or le web And yes ~ you tweet too much - sofarsoShawn

I've unfollowed you on Twitter today, but here's why: if someone's on both FF and Twitter, I'll use FF. It's better (to me). Following in both places creates noise. I don't care for the UI on Twitter; Twitter clients (iPhone/iPod Touch particularly) don't show enough history to catch up. I read FF through GReader, and that gets all the posts I missed. So, in my case, an unfollow is a re-org, not a loss. - Will King

For someone who doesn't care about numbers, you talk about numbers an awful lot ... - Joel Bennett from twhirl

Joel, he cares about numbers, don't let him fool you :) - Bwana ☠

I probably lost a bunch of followers because I tweeted so much during the NFL championship games, but overall, I probably gained more than I lost. I'm just being myself, and people will follow if they want. - Bwana ☠

Flippity: That's exactly what I thought when I saw this post! - Holger Eilhard

still lurking...carry on.... - Wallace

Robert, are you following your followers count daily? - Amit Morson

I was one - from twitter, because I spend most of my time here anyway and still get your messages. When I log into twitter and have to go three pages deep for anyone else's messages, its time to reevaluate :) - jcunwired

It's not you. it's them ;-) .. actually that is the problem with Twitter, you have friends as long as you don't talk too much. (thank god you can do everything here instead) - Orli Yakuel

to lose one follower is unfortunate, to lose 600 is genocide. - thomasrdotorg

Belkin offered them each 65 cents - Michael Krigsman

So, you lost followers. I thought you un-followed 600 people today. - Mathew™ one of a kind

Yeah, I lost followers. - Robert Scoble

I don't use twitter, but my guess is, it is/should be used for more local applications, personal friends(facebook status like), events(instant feedback), public im'ing. I don't use it, to post my constant thoughts, feelings, and stretches, but maybe I should, I'd need an android phone, to wanna try that. - David Lynch

A lot of people are complaining of losing followers. Methinks there's been a maintenance cull or recount of some sort. - Paul Reynolds

Yep, Paul, there is indeed a spammer cull going on tonight, presumably in advance of the inauguration. I don't think any number of birds could carry the Fail Whales I'm expecting tomorrow. - Jared Smith

My last Twitter "market correction" was about this time last month, but I only lost 10 readers. That worked out to be about 6.5% of my readership then. In the month following, I went from 155 to (currently) 244, an increase of 157%. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy
