Also emailing from GoogleReader makes it easy to re-blog to Posterous which does a good job to display the post with your introduction note, link to the original, etc...
- Antoine Bertier
you should install Feedly, a FF extension which give you another GUI for GReader... impressive number of sharing capabilities and integration with social networks...
- Luca Filigheddu
Perfect for emailing interesting stuff to store in Gmail.

Louis: Why didn't you send me something before. : )

I have to admit that I signed up for a Posterous account a few months ago, and forgot all about it.

thanks for having me as one of the emailed sources! you know I never even thought of the "email this" function as evangelising rss. thanks for the idea!!

I'm a long-time PR and Public Affairs guy, but I'm far removed from any metropolitan areas. Very few of my long-time contacts and colleagues are even aware of what Web 2.0 or Social Media are, much less what they mean. They may have a LinkedIn or FaceBook account,but they see such tools as no more than toys. The practical applications of this stuff are beyond them still. I hope to gradually pull some out of their caves and into the light.

This is a great idea Louis, but I don't think it will pan out (although I hope it does). I think this is something that will have need to be implemented in the backend somehow. Maybe this could be automated, a greasemonkey script or something?
- Tim Hoeck
It probably won't, due to the fact not everyone is on Google Reader, not everybody is subscribed to my link blog, and not everybody cares, but I just thought it a fun experiment. If it fails, then it shows what little influence I have. :-)
- Louis Gray
Louis - not sure you've noticed yet but I am getting timeouts connecting to your site right now?

Yes, that's due to SiteMeter vs. Internet Explorer. I'm stripping the SiteMeter code right now.

Well, I just did it. It will be interesting to see how far it goes.

Nice thought, shared now. I don't really use my Reader Shared but it's never too late, i hope i got the note part right, is there an edit option once you post?

Good luck on the experiment.
- Mitchell Tsai

- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Interesting idea. Another limitation is that at the moment it seems the "Share with Notes" button only appear in the english version of Google Reader, but not if you set your language to anything else (or at least not if you set your language to French).
- Antoine Bertier
I would do this but since I'm so caught up in social|median right now I didn't read this item in gReader and I don't have the bookmarklet installed in this browser. Not so dedicated to the cause as to launch gReader just for your experiment. Sorry.

Thanks Marc, Mike. Hutch. What matters is looking at the larger trends, when you see multiple independent data points all point the same way at the stars, you can start to really see a pattern. Aside from that, those Gartner guys are smart.
- Jeremiah Owyang
quick aside - i live in the town that gartner has its headquarters so my kids play sports w/ their kids & we end up seeing some of them socially at these events - makes it sort of awkward when they're trying to convince me to re-up our acct or about some tech trends and i can't help but recall when they berated a referee or rival team the previous weekend :-p

I am amazed at how many people have never heard the "Join the conversation" in context of Social Media... but yeah, you're right it is a "tired" phrase. So what now? Suggestions?

Moreover, countless don't care and never will. Its like talk radio: millions of people out there on the fringe, but only a few pick up the phone and call in.

Are any of you Friendfeed users but do NOT have a Twitter account? (I suspect it will be few, as many appear to migrate from Twitter)
Paul M. Banas liked this
I do have Twitter, but never used it as much as here. I have more followers here, and I post much more often. I guess I'm more of a conversation answerer than a conversation starter. I always felt silly posting random things on Twitter - here it's more focused.
- Rich
I also have a Twitter account, but never really used it. Versus FriendFeed, the conversations on Twitter seemed too random and trivial for my taste.
- Paul M. Banas
Why would someone post here instead of Twitter when Twitter will push to FF but FF doesn't push to Twitter? Just seems that posting on Twitter captures a larger audience.

An interesting perspective on one of the latest buzzwords, "conversation". Marketers should realize that it's not a conversation if they are the only ones doing all the talking.
- Paul M. Banas
For some reason this makes me think of the "push me pull you", an animal that went opposite directions of itself- conversation is a collaborative push and pull- marketing that pushes without looking at what's being pulled is the ridiculous animal I just mentioned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Brian Carter
have also received some good private messages on this concept, though a few friends are wondering why I have a problem with conversational marketing, which is kinda funny
- Chris Heuer
Should Friendfeed incorporate threaded messages? This way you can see who is replying to who, and see how the converesation splinters.
Beth Kanter, sachin sawant, Christian Anderson and 16 other people liked this
Yes - and timestamped comments too.
- Steve Rubel
Threads and timestamps, yes. FriendFeed comments really strike me as an afterthought: something tacked on to a very nice feed aggregator. Now if FriendFeed and Disqus could get together we'd have a situation where 1+1 = something much, much greater than 2.
- Ken Sheppardson
No passion one way or the other. Threaded comments might be nice but I don't mind the way it is.
- Michael Hocter
Seems logical but deep threads might stain the interface. Timestamps are a great idea, but should be "click-to-reveal" instead of visible by default. My take: When presenting text, less = more.
- Dan Kaplan
I find threaded comments get to be a mess to follow the conversation, what we have here works well. I agree that some sort of time stamp saying when the last comment was made would be nice...and maybe notifications when comments are added to posts you like or have commented on.
- John Duff
Don't have a fav on this one, stickin' with KISS for now ;-)
- cbgreenwood
Yes, we definitely need timestamps
- Satya
If they do threaded, it should only go one level deeper. KISS is a great philosophy to live by.
- Ben Parr
I don't like comments being displayed as threaded, but how about replies to individual comments? You still have the "flat" display of comments, but you can see which comments are replies to others.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Agreed with Ben. Maybe one level.
- Phil G
I would love threaded comments personally.
- Jake (aka Jawee)
i think its just fine the way it is - not looking for /.
- mike "glemak" dunn
Where do you stop? Maybe one level...
- Allen Fuller
Like the less is more and KISS philosophy. Have the detail, but keep it below the surface.
- Paul M. Banas
Timestamps for sure.
- Jason Runyan
yes
- Steven Hodson
No, only timestamp (at least in the TITLE attribute)
- Claudio Cicali ♋
lots of folks end up using the @ to address the person in the conversation so it works. i agree with cbgreenwood on this one.
- Atul Arora
Sure why not. I have tons of available whitespace to the right on my screen.
- Mark Krynsky
MUST !!!
