How does this FriendFeed commenting thing work?
- Ross Hill
theory: FF readers don't click through to the link but just read the title and comment. Am I wrong?

80% I click through. It used to be higher, but I've laxed of late.
- Michael W. May
I comment 80% on other comments or on simple shares like this one.
- Geoff Schultz
Nope, you're right. You have to remember that Like also means "I'll check it out later" or "I want my friends to see this"
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
I think you're right. If you had included a link I would have opened it in a new tab, then left a comment. Or not.
- Noah Carter
80-90% CTR for me
- Duncan Riley
80 as-well
- Colby Olson
Oh, you mean we're meant to read the articles?
- Ross Hill
i never comment or like without clicking
- Cee Bee
depends if I'm on my phone or not
- mjc
I think the best way to maximize FF is to quote part of the article right below the link, with a photo. Unfortunately I still have no idea how to put share photos (unless it's flickr)
- anna sauce
I'll "like" if I the Title is good, but I also click through if the title looks intriguing, so it probably evens up for me

It's been a few hours since TechCrunch has posted an anti-Yahoo post. What's the delay?
Colby Palmer, Michael W. May, edythe and 17 other people liked this
Don't they kind of deserve it Mike. I mean when one of the "innovators" (Joshua) that you've hired says that his experience there was extremely frustrating and blames management when he leaves that says a lot. Stewart couched it much more eloquently but kinda said the same thing in his resignation letter. For execs to trash a company on the way out tells you that it must be really, really, bad there for innovation. Shouldn't pressure be applied to fix that if Yang won't do it on his own?
- Thomas Hawk
I'm not saying they don't have problems. They do. But I think the reporting that is going on right now is way overdone, especially by TechCrunch. I use a LOT of Yahoo services and I'm very satisfied with them. They're never down and I'm happy with the features. Regarding the frustrations of the founders of the companies that they bought - I'm surprised that they lasted as long as they did. Good for them for cashing out and moving on to do something brilliant somewhere else.
- Mike Doeff
And I firmly believe that a Yahoo/Microsoft merger would have been a disaster on the same level as AOL / Time Warner or AOL / Netscape. Companies CAN turn around. Just look at where Apple was in the late 90's and where they are now.
- Mike Doeff
They lasted as long as they did because they had lock ups and were financially incented not to leave. This was Yahoo's opportunity to convince them that they were serious about innovating. Instead Terry Semel was more concerned with convincing a patsy board to make him the highest paid CEO in America in 2006. They deserve every bit of negative fallout that they are getting now. Hopefully it produces change which results in all your favorite Yahoo services actually improving.
- Thomas Hawk
Spot on Thomas. They were compensated.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
What bothers me Thomas is that Google does not have a perfect track record when it comes to acquiring innovative start-up's and keeping the founders happy. Dodgeball was a disaster. Take a look at this photo by the founders who quit Google last year http://flickr.com/photos... Why does Google get a pass on stories like that and Yahoo gets crucified?
- Mike Doeff
Mike: there's a huge brain drain going on at Google too. Lots of "famous geeks" are leaving Google to start new companies, or take time off to enjoy their new wealth. I think that Google gets a pass because it's a company that tons of people still want to work at. Yahoo? Not nearly as interesting a company. The general belief in the valley is that Google is moving up and Yahoo is moving down. That explains a ton of why each company gets the press it does.
- Robert Scoble
Google buys the wrong innovating companies for God only knows what reason. Dodgeball? Jaiku? Picasa? These companies had no chance in the first place. Google gets a pass though because they still innovate there and still do develop kick ass products in house, not the least of which has been the best search engine on the internet for the past few years.
- Thomas Hawk
Robert, I agree with you on these companies going in different directions right now. I also think that Google's brain drain will start to bite them in the not too distant future. Plus they've hired a LOT of people in the last year. That is going to catch up to them as well with more red tape, disorganization, turf wars, politics, etc. It could become another Yahoo if they're not careful.
- Mike Doeff
@Thomas I guess Google wanted to develope services like Jaiku or Picasa from the start but instead of investing so much money on research and developement they have probably realised it would be cheaper to buy an existing company who already created a good product and go on with it.
- Nir Ben Yona
from twhirl
Google buys the wrong companies? I don't agree - but they do seriously f#$k them up rendering them useless. The need a major policy change here
- DC Crowley
DC: companies often buy other companies, not for the products those companies make, but for the people who work there. And, anyway, when a starving startup employee gets to a big company there's a period of just getting used to not having to starve for resources anymore. When I got to Microsoft I remember just watching the live streaming video for a while. It was amazing the kinds of things you get when you work at a huge company.
- Robert Scoble
One last thing before I hit the sack... I don't get the sense that every high-profile person who has left Yahoo had a terrible experience there. Read this blog post from Bradley Horowitz (former head of their Advanced Development Division: http://snurl.com/2lljj I'm sure that part of that is just being diplomatic but he seemed to genuinely enjoy his time there.
- Mike Doeff
This is a great conversation. Needless to say it could never have happened on Twitter. Thanks guys.
- Ole Begemann
Right before I left GM back in the summer of 2006, one of my colleagues and I visited Google and the same day went over to Yahoo. As relatively important customers (GM at that time was bidding on over a million keywords) of course we met with key execs at both companies. The juxtaposition couldn't have been more startling. The Google execs were all about listening and helping formulate solutions for our needs and our vision. Yahoo, on the other hand, were arrogant and dismissive. To me, that says it all.
- Michael Wiley
Mike, you can't really be pointing to Bradley Horowitz's resignation post as proof that Yahoo embraces innovation can you? First off, Horowitz is one of the most savvy *business executives* out there. Horowitz would *never* do something as personally reckless as calling Yahoo execs out like Joshua just did at TechCrunch. That post of his was very carefully crafted business speak. 2nd. Notice how many innovators at Yahoo he thanked in it -- many which are no longer there.
- Thomas Hawk
Flickr still rocks, the world still spins.
- Ross Hill
Flickr, delicious, upcoming, these innovative sites and technologies *could* not only be better today, but along with say a buy of digg and maybe a few other properties, Yahoo could have effectively created something amazing *and* owned social search, which is significant. Instead Yahoo bungled social search, didn't know what to do with these properties and got in the way of innovation, mostly, I'm guessing by pure management ineptitude.
- Thomas Hawk
Of all the "big" internet companies out there, which ones have even attempted to embrace social technologies? I can count on one hand. Yahoo is one of them. They'll get my respect for not sitting back like a LOT of other companies did for a long time. Sure they're having tons of management problems now, but I'm not going to knock their services that I use and enjoy today. Playing coulda, shoulda, woulda is a waste of time in my book. Especially when you have a company as big as they are.
- Bwana ☠
I fault Microsoft for missed opportunities moreso than Yahoo. IE6. Sourcesafe. Office. Sharepoint. Vista. Zune. Windows Media Player. PlaysForSure. They screwed up so many times it's hard to digest at times. No company is perfect, and I think Yahoo does have its issues that we should report on. Personally, I'm not going forget what they did right for me, since the early 90s. Management is only part of a company. Their output still earns my respect, which a lot of hard working people put forward.
- Bwana ☠
While I make my Yahoo jokes about management, I'm not going to forget how their tools enhanced my online experience. The talent at that company is astounding, and a majority of it is NOT at the executive level. So sure, bash management, I don't care. Flickr, Yahoo mail, Yahoo games, Yahoo pipes, My Yahoo, Yahoo UI, Yahoo Instant Messenger, these I do care about and I don't want them to go away because of replaceable management.

- Charlie Anzman
First, thanks to Daniel for working on the comments. Stuff mostly back up now including Qmeme. It was always there, I just had to change the URL's to comply with a Google request and the 302 to the new post URL's was killing the pages instead of only redirecting the posts (redirects aren't my strong points), simply created new pages with the URL structure and bingo, they work again. Not perfect, but will suffice for now
- Duncan Riley
When Tumblr changed their URL structure Disqus were able to update them all somehow.. good luck!
- Ross Hill
duncan are you sure that Google asked for a 302 not a 301? 302 = temporary. 301 = permanent.
