I've been noticing more and more FriendFeed items showing up in Google (and higher than Twitter, generally). How about you?
- Robert Scoble
but the question is how fast does google capture data form timeline?
- Veetrag
Veetrag: in minutes, is my experience. No longer than a day, for sure.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert I noticed that too, but I believe its because we write much more than 140 characters. So Google wouldn't have tweaked algorithm for it.
- Veetrag
By the way, Murphy Goode really screwed up a good thing. Here's Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3 on the item: http://louderback.com/2009...
- Robert Scoble
That fact that a FF post can be #1 for an arbitrary set of multiple keywords doesn't prove the general fact.
- Gary
Veetrag: I think Google is watching the real time engines closer and closer every day.
- Robert Scoble
Gary: no, but I can find dozens of examples like this.
- Robert Scoble
Do you realize how many clicks it took me to get to that tweet?
- Rochelle
Rochelle: what Tweet?
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Thanks for the info. Do you have any idea how soon does that information becomes obselete? Does Google have infinite storage/indexing capacity.
- Veetrag
Veetrag: I believe so, yes! Heheh.
- Robert Scoble
Google has posts of mine from years ago still in its index.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: One more question, does Google give more importance to information from people with more followers? If so, they have to tweak algorithm for every service.
- Veetrag
I agree Robert. I have even seen friendfeed post's higher than the actual blog post there about.
- TheHenry
Veetrag: I don't think so. But they DO give more importance to items that have more inbound links. So I bet getting retweeted helps.
- Robert Scoble
True, blog posts can remain forever. but these sites are generating content at much faster rate. And we have many more services.
- Veetrag
TheHenry: me too. Veetrag: Twitter generates 10Gigs of new data per day. That's nothing for Google to swallow. Google has many hundreds of thousands of computers and maybe more than a million. Not a problem at all.
- Robert Scoble
My FriendFeed posts on Google seem to climb and fall; it's not obvious why. It's also strange that I get Google Alerts on my alert topics when I tweet on it, but not from Friendfeed.
- Keith Barrett
So I need to start posting my blog posts here? Sheesh! :)
- Sid Burgess
Dont you think, posts with more 'likes' should get higher priority too? Or they are already doing it.
- Veetrag
Dozens of examples doesn't mean much when there are billions of keyword combination. If FF has the only use of a particular set of keywords, then it will rank by default.
- Gary
I noticed this a while back. My last big Flickr upload was a Merced roller derby bout. My FF post is number 2 after Flickr. http://www.google.com/search...
- Russellreno
Cool, I guess. Puts 1 google to rule them all back in an agile search play.
- Robert Higgins
Gary: OK, fine, how would you like to demonstrate which site will get you Google juice? Personally it all depends on what gets linked to. Or did you forget my "brrreeeport test" of Google? http://www.google.com/search... where I made up a fake word and got people to link to see what would happen?
- Robert Scoble
I have said earlier,my friendfeed post appeared within 48 hours in Google search. This was two months ago.
- ashish
Veetrag: I bet more likes get more Google Juice. Why? More pages are linking to the original item.
- Robert Scoble
I'm not saying FF has zero juice. I'm sure it is a value greater than zero, but I because anything can be posted by anyone, it would be hard for Google to give it much authority. If it did FF would instantly become a spam magnet. If a trend was started on FF and was later picked up by blogs, I'm sure the FF post wouldn't rank as high as the blogs.
- Gary
I don't know: On this SM doesn't matter to me. I only support local : http://www.oliverwinery.com/index...
- Melanie Reed
Robert, I clicked on your link above which led me to Google search results. I clicked on the first result which was to a post of your with a link to Leo's FF. I clicked on that link to get to Leo's FF post, which was a link to Digg. I clicked on that and went to Digg which was a link to martinsargent's Twitter account.
- Rochelle
Rochelle: even better, it's a full employment act for content producers because you need to click six times to get what should take one. Fair point! :-)
- Robert Scoble
Gary: you're wrong. Google knows which FriendFeeder has more inbound links. My pagerank here is seven. What's yours?
- Robert Scoble
Gary: you are wrong, twice. I have seen quite a few places where FriendFeed gets higher ranked than the blog. It makes sense, because the FriendFeed item is getting linked to by lots of people and the blog isn't (I often link here, because the conversation is worth linking to).
- Robert Scoble
I've noticed. My Friendfeed page shows up in a search for my name at about position 3 or 4 whereas for years the first instance of my actual self would show up around page 4. I'm not a content producer nor a particularly active person, so I figured it was FF picking up steam.
- Rob Haas
Gary: finally, FriendFeed is going to prove to be very resistant to spam for a whole lot of reasons, most of which I won't go into here because I don't want spammers to figure out ways around the resistance. But for one, if you block someone here it is a COMPLETE block, not half assed like over on Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
Robert what exactly were the terms of the contest? Did it expressly say something to the effect that interviews were guaranteed by public vote, influenced by public vote or just that they asked the public to vote?
- Melanie Reed
Melanie: they asked the public to vote and then, apparently, didn't care what the public said.
- Robert Scoble
Robert thanks for clarifying. Well, they're off the hook legally. But they simply didn't understand the implied "rules" of SM, which, let's face it, can be intimidating for the uninitiated. I have no background on how "initiated" the MG SM team were but it is possible, indeed, appears plausible that they didn't even expect that much feedback. Which only goes to show that perhaps many in...
more...
- Melanie Reed
Melanie: yeah, you really need to read Jim Louderback (Revision 3's CEO) take on it: http://louderback.com/2009...
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Yes. This was about "hearing the message" in the public dialogue that all good advertising campaigns should understand. It just happens faster on the Internet. And it recalls parallels in the "Palace vs. the Death of Princess Diana and the Public Reaction" dilemma. If I was going to teach a SM class to Enterprise SM teams, I would start there with elements they could relate to and then progress to the Murphy-Goode Affair. ;)
- Melanie Reed
FriendFeed ranks very well for me and often appears higher than my blog; however, since my blog is relatively new and fast-growing, those results are changing. My blog posts appear here in FriendFeed in near real-time, then get tweeted out with FF URLs re-directing back to my blog, so I am leveraging FriendFeed's Google juice to promote my blog's ranking and it is working! FriendFeed is one of my top inbound link referrers to my blog - Yay! :)

BlackBerry Desktop Manager coming to Mac in September - http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009...
Roger Kondrat, k00pa, Livy and 5 other people liked this
Mac users, rejoice -- well, the BlackBerry users in the lot of you, anyway. RIM's been infamous over the years for all but ignoring Mac support for its devices, throwing out the occasional bone like Media Sync, but they're now going big with a full-fledged Desktop Manager supporting Mac OS 10.5.5 and above when it launches... sometime. The big sticking point right now is that RIM isn't talking about an availability date, all we know is that it'll happen some time in September -- but when that date comes, you'll have a suite that's able to sync iTunes, add and remove apps, perform firmware updates, create backups and restore from them, and manage multiple BlackBerrys at the same time. Nokia, maybe you guys want to take note here?

After going through the documentation and playing around with some feeds, I love the fact that you can now see the subscriber lists of people who have their feeds set to private as long as you are subscribed to them and authenticate (mimicking the main site functionality). One thing that's absent is a discussion of Direct Messages. Do they show up in feeds if you authenticate? How do we find just direct messages?
- Mark Trapp
Mark: direct messages are accessed using the feed ID "filter/direct". Read more about feed IDs at http://friendfeed.com/api.... Also direct messages appear in the "home" feed.

Why is wget questionable?

Only downside is that while you can initiate calls and SMS from the Google Voice app, you still are using the Blackberry phone module to receive calls.

Without a doubt, he should have been on the final 50 list. The contest doesn't seem to have any rules that would exclude him (just took a quick look). This way, they could have used any criteria for not choosing him as a final 10 contestant and/or the winner. By doing it this way, they may get attention, but as you noted, its not good attention and for owners of the winery, I'm sure this is not something they anticipated when they agreed to this contest.
- Jeff Pomeroy
Interesting logical flaw - they selected the finalists based on their measured ability to generate web2.0 traffic. Logical next step is that this person could do the same for their brand. THEN they completely fail to proceed, with the person left feeling 'screwed over, plus thousands of potential clients that left their emails and also feel 'screwed over'. The logical next step is that...

I support their decision. There are lots of good quality candidates with more credentials than Martin. I'm sorry, I like the guy, but just because he has a powerful internet posse at Revision 3 does not mean he deserves the job. There are lots of great candidates out there--some without a job--that don't have the extra pull of a podcast community to support them. I know I'm in the minority, but I had to say it.
- Fleagle
Unfortunately Fleagle, they don't specify that they're looking for a candidate without "the extra pull of a podcast community to support them." On the contrary, they WANT someone as connected as Martin to prop up their activities in the Web 2.0 community.
- Eric Geller
I wonder if the nature of his past works and the image that it portrayed onto him had anything to do with their choice. Would you, as a business owner, really want the host of such shows as infected, Web drifter, and Internet Superstar to be the spokes internet person for your company?

Eric, if all they want is someone with 'connections', then I guess they did miss the mark here. It's not my company, so I can only assume they have an idea what they want.

Pretty simple then I guess. If that's really all they wanted, then they dropped the ball here.

They didn't just drop the ball, they let go of it while holding it over a cliff.
- Eric Geller
Looking at their rules for applying, the only thing I can think of at this point is that maybe they thought there would be an issue with the "irrevocable and perpetual right to use your name, likeness, appearance, voice, biographical information and video anywhere in the world, without your further consent" part.
- Thomas
I think they already failed at the Social meida
- Fee501st
Thomas: If you're saying that Murphy Goode had that thought, then I'm confused. It's their rule, why would they disqualify someone if that person applied knowing the rule?

- Matthew DeVries
Because he's well know (relatively), maybe they thought that clause would be an issue with him. Not saying it's really what caused it, though... http://www.areallygoodejob.com/finepri...
- Thomas
Thomas: I agree with you that Martin could have had that thought, but that's for him to decide. Murphy Goode shouldn't disqualify someone because they assume that their own rule will be a problem. They should let Martin take that into his own hands. (Which he did by applying anyway.)
- Eric Geller
True
- Thomas
Kevin Rose just tweeted about this - even more bad press for the winery...
- Thomas
I think maybe the biggest blunder on their part was of course posting the top 50. It would be different if they just announced the winner I think. That way, even though most probably would've disagreed, you'd have to respect a little bit that it was their decision to make. But not even having Martin in the top 50 is probably going to bite them in the arse in the coming days.
- Fleagle
I definitely agree on that point. If you put something to a vote and then have a top 50, make sure the top vote getters are on the list - even if you don't intend on picking them.
- Thomas
Absolutely right.
- Eric Geller
hmm. Anyone else see a comparison between the Iranian election and this selection process?
- Wizetux
Getting to be the #1 most popular video on the topic should have earned Martin a spot on the top 50 list. I'm not saying it should have gotten Martin the final job, either.
- Robert Scoble
Wizetux: I think they must have the same person who decided on Twitter's Suggested User List doing the judging. Really lame. Yes, it's the same thing as an Iranian Election. Exactly.

Michael: that would be a great spin, but that would require having someone who understood what was going on and the time for that kind of spin is when a story is just getting going. I would just apologize and say "I don't know how we missed Martin." But then I would have made sure the guy with the #1 YouTube video would be on the list in the first place.
- Robert Scoble
True enough... number one is hard to "miss"
- Michael Turro
if their objective was to find someone best fit for the job, they didn't present the voting facilities in a representatively clear fashion. why bother creating a voting system? it implies that number one would be in the list.

They should have given the top 50 vote getters an automatic bid and then augmented with 10 or so of their own choices that might not have made the top 50

Their fine print states "Murphy-Good retains the right to exclude candidates from the hiring process or terminate the successful candidate for any lawful reason", but if they were going to exclude him after the voting then they should have not even posted or accepted his video in the first place.

Alan: they should have explained their thinking. Personally I wouldn't have had a final 50. I would have only posted a final three. Then if he didn't make that list it would seem better. But that's after the play quarterbacking. Now they have a bit of a mess on their hands and they have saddled their new social media expert with a mess that won't go away.

@Don: I don't think people *will* pay because cable and tv networks will begin to create experiences like the Netflix box, ect. The experience will be far easier than say my set-up at home (which isn't even really difficult, you know, if you know what you're doing ;). The plug-and-play interface for Web/Streaming (eg hulu, netflix) and other devices will be here far sooner than "years to come". But yes, like Records and Tapes, some folks will still opt for paying the extra $50-100 bucks.

Early adopters (I am one) love to proclaim the thing they just stopped using is now over.

- jcunwired
@jcunwired: absolutely true. I am from + live in Appalachia, in the second most poverty-stricken state. I am familiar with the divide; however, we crossed the 50 percent threshold for broadband in the US a few years back. It's simply a matter of time and my guess is the business model for this will begin to change once we're at 70 percent. (Those cable companies aren't worried about those folks who live in rural areas.)

But the end of yesterday's TV will only come when SOMEONE offers a solution easy enough for all the folks that are NOT interested in computers hooked to 'TVs' ... imo.

I predict, the media center stuff we see today will get more complex (unfortunately) for a few more years (like 'PCs' 78-82) and then some disrupter will rock the market (kind of like Mac rocked DOS) 3-5 years from now. Then around 2015 - 2020 today's TV giants will actually start to topple and fade.

- Brad_King
Brad, are you watching the Lakers vs Nuggets game today?
- Cristo
@Cristo: nope (although I wouldn't anyway). That's because ESPN and the NBA put together a bad deal. They already have in place a 2015 deal to stream those games online. NFL (http://www.nfl.com/gamepass), MLB (http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb...) have better deals in place. And they get my money.
- Brad_King
@Cristo: My argument isn't that this is happening full-force today. Simply that we are much closer to a time when the TV/Cable/Web are merged together making the indistinguishable. We're a good 10+ years into this and we're getting very close, closer I suspect that most think.
- Brad_King
Brad, I don't really care. I'm part one consumer, and another part developer. I tend to be practical about what I design. I'm fine with an all Internet future, but I'm realistic about the barriers. I like to watch CNBC and sports, so since I can afford to waste the money, I will continue to pay them until there is an alternative. Fred Wilson is not offering an alternative to me, although I sometimes find his blog posts entertaining.
- Cristo
@Cristo: Oh, then I guess you don't have a DVR or ever owned a VCR since time-shifting isn't important. I didn't realize that. ;) I am too busy to arrange my schedule around an 8 pm television show. I watch when it's most convenient to me. I didn't realize I was that odd.
- Brad_King
Brad, I've designed and built DVRs. :) Most DVRs were built off work I've done.
- Cristo
@Cristo: then live tv isn't a big deal to you (which was my point); if it's not live, there is little difference between streaming on-demand from any source. the argument that I'm not watching the NBA "right now" is a non-starter in terms of the larger argument. or have I missed something?
- Brad_King
Live TV is a big deal to me. I want to see the game, when the game is on, and I want to see the stock market reporting while it's relevant. It's like asking whether you mind seeing only yesterday's Twitter feed, not that I really want to see any Twitter feed.

If you haven't experience MLB.tv during the baseball season, you don't know what you're missing. I am watching them live (oftentimes multiple games) at one time, with archives of the games I couldn't watch live.

Brad, you never addressed live news specifically financial news. I don't care about steroid baseball.
- Cristo
@Cristo: I have done work at a university (and just took a job there) that developed a live, interactive streaming platform for cable companies a few years back. It's being tested and deployed. Just like the NBA has a bad deal with ESPN, news agencies will be migrating. And - as I said earlier - I think it's 3-5 years before TV/Web are indistinguishable from each other because you will have the functionality streaming. I never argued it was here today.
- Brad_King
@Cristo™ I'm spoiled with the screen I have already. The 20" Cinema display is treating me just fine... By the time I care, the TV will be as extinct as GM.
- Ben Ackles
@Cristo: btw, I don't disagree with your premise. Just that in a few years, "live" won't mean TV.
- Brad_King
I'm a pragmatist. Screens and monitors should be separated from their media sources. Whether it's a 20" Cinema display or a 120" projector screen, the content should be the same. I'm just realistic about cable not going away anytime soon (5-8 years). I'm looking forward to live being on the Internet. IPTV has been in development at Microsoft since 1996 though.
- Cristo
@Cristo: I don't believe much "goes away". There are issues with control and such that I don't like; however, we've had some neat interactions with developing products + usability. If I was a shareholder, I'd feel good. :) (I am not a shareholder.)

Brad, okay. You win. I'm going to finish watching the Lakers vs Nuggets now.
- Cristo
One thing that old fashioned broadcast TV has that digital over the internet doesn't have to the same degree is anonymity.
- Chuck Baggett
@Cristo™ "live" is in Beta today and will be in production tomorrow. 5-8 years is laughable. I'd give it a year or 2 tops. Between UStream.tv (Live - clearly beta quality) Hulu (Pro) & Vimeo (Pro-Am) you can throw away your tv (figuratively).
- Ben Ackles
socialcoop, you're right. Why would I have any credibility. I have no experience in the area since 1995.
- Cristo
@Cristo: I win because I agreed with you :) I don't actually think we were discussing opposite sides. Or did *I* miss that?
- Brad_King
I think what people fail to realize is that it's not the technical challenges that fails to bring live TV to the Internet, but the business challenges. Obviously all TV could be on the Internet today if there were no barriers.
- Cristo
@Cristo: That's what I thought we agreed upon :) It's a business proposition + when the companies decide to push the issue (and I'm guessing it'll be cable companies that push it, like they did with the bundles services), there will be a quick change. That's why I don't think it will be far off. The digital transition and the fiber laid -- it *feels* close. (If 3-5 years is close - and that's for the start, not for ubiquity of that kind of service.) **agreement high five**

How Many Smartphones Should You Build? - http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news...
Roger Kondrat, A.T., Amir and 3 other people liked this
"How many phones should you make? Every time a company launches a new smartphone, they have to make a decision on how many to make and balance the need to have stock, create a demand for the product, and not leave so many on the shelf that you lose money overall in the batch. Is this decision the key to market survival in a recession? Getting a lot of coverage in this area is the upcoming launch of the Palm Pre in the US. The relaunched Palm (effectively a new start-up with an old name) looks to be going to market early June with around 30,000 to 40,000 units in the retail chain. That's not a lot for a mass market device, but for a small start-up with limited capital it's arguably an impressive number."

You should build one. Saturating the market with 25 different models (Nokia - you listening?) every six months, each one being separated by one small feature, just adds confusion. Take the Apple route - release a great platform to build on.
