All these years later, I'm still torn - did Shatner really do it with a straight face, or did he foresee a comedy career?

To Whom It May Concern, If I was writing a movie based around the current scene at FriendFeed, I would cast you as the big, evil corporation and all of us FriendFeeders as the people at the community centre standing in the way of ‘progress’. But I don’t write movies and, frankly, Channel 7 News isn’t [...]

"FriendFeed is more than a few noisy tech bloggers. While I agree that there is thick filling of tech and social media content here, it sits on a delicious base of personalities and personal connections. Over the 18 months I have been here, I have seen births, deaths and marriages. I have watched children grow, others fight cancer, couples fall in love and felt very real support through my own family issues. I have emotional currency in here, and I am sorely in debt."

- Johnny Worthington
Thank you for serving up this good food for thought and call for action! Here is a meme that might be helpful for the effort - while "FriendFeed: the Company" may be history ... "FriendFeed the Concept" may be the future. It may make as good a verb as it does a noun - like "to google" has become synonymous with search, "to friendfeed" can become the core SN function. Maybe some motivation for FF owners to guide their legacy to this logical conclusion.

I have a feeling I'm being gently shepherded to Facebook. The problem is, I use Facebook for real ife friends and family, and high school classmates. So I don't quite know how to make the transistion.

Johnny - I am new to FF (and most all social media) and arrived only due to the influence of a friend that I wanted to follow (a few months ago I didn't even know what "follow" meant!) ....what I found was an interesting, informative, less commercial site that I now go to numerous times a day. I think your letter precisely expressed the sentiments of most FF'ers new and old....I hope someone was listening!! Thanks for the great effort and I, for one, second that emotion!

For the record I NEVER have said that FriendFeed is in danger of disappearing. At least not soon. I'm not worried about that. I'm more worried that FriendFeed isn't evolving and will soon be matched by other systems (including Facebook, which is where Paul works now). Because I see that happening I have moved a lot of my time to other systems like Twitter and Facebook because I've...

johnny why do you have default permalinks? you can change them to the ones including post names. would be searchable SEO they say
- ffcode
If I were worried about the servers being turned off I'd stop using this as an aggregator too. Right now I'm bringing all my Twitter Favorites in here which makes them searchable (they aren't searchable on Twitter). That's a HUGE advantage to FriendFeed for the moment. But I know Facebook and Twitter are working on search and Twitter and Facebook just made a deal with Bing.

The Hindi word for a rainbow is Indradhanush. It means 'bow of Indra'. Indra is the god of rain and the king of heaven.

In Bengali Rainbow is Ramdhanu means "bow of Ram" (I guess so). So it's a bow in many languages... BTW nice picture.

Maybe Rama used it and then discarded it and then Indra picked it up. Or maybe it happened the other way around.

"Creating a Facebook Page is much more than “opening the doors” and simply inviting people to “fan” the Page. The News Feed acts as the “ignition” to influence and entice new followers."

Debra recommends finding the right people to become “evangelists” for a page. Great summary of how stuff spreads through social networks. I would expect much of this to be true of networks other than Facebook, too.
- Eric Johnson
Nice piece. Curious about the concept of people publishing it on their news feeds - doesn't that pretty much happen automatically?
- Laura Norvig
Laura, in my experience it does. I think networks similar to Facebook are different from word-of-mouth type networks because of a) quantity and b) ease: that is, when you fan a page, all of your friends see it (whether that's 50 or 500); and they can then instantly click a couple of links to join in.
- Deborah Fitchett
You can block publishing it to your feed and with the new privacy settings only publicize your Fanning to certain assigned lists.

Eric, thanks for posting the article! I've asked Brenna Holmes (one of the commenters on the post) to write a guest post about how she helped grow the California Parks Facebook Fan Page from 450 to thousands. It should offer a real case example of the theory of how Facebook Pages grow.
