@bhc3: This means that this tweet might be true. @loic is not his tweet... --I rock in logic, I know :) - directeur from NoiseRiver

Amen. The trick is having people dislike you for reasons you can live with. - BISQ

if everyone likes you, you're either biting your tongue or haven't found your passion. - Morgan

@KathySierra corollary: Being Loved or Hated (or both) is ok (even good); but ambivalence or indifference is Death. - dave mcclure

I'm sure plenty of people hate me -- chances are I've probably blocked them :( - Shey, Jamaican of FF

we need a "hated this" on friendfeed - Loic Le Meur

one of my favorite videos by Honda is "Hate Something" (on YouTube) - dave mcclure

Loic, that's so sad! (Is the opposite true, if everyone hates you then you must be a maestro!) - Dave Winer

Loic be nice or I'll block you on Seesmic! LOL - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

@davew: Your implication is not logically true :) @loic come on NoiseRiver ;-) We have better than "hate this" - directeur from NoiseRiver

@Aaron Dave says thanks for reminding him :P (*kidding*) - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Boring people don't have enemies. Not all interesting people do, but boring folks never do. If you're lucky tho - your friends like you as much & as passionately as your enemies hate you. - Lucretia Pruitt

Next time someone tries to do a block on me, I will retaliate with DOS denial attack on their server! Block per Block! lmao - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Loic, Does this mean I have to become the only person that doesn't like you to save you from a life of mediocrity? I love seesmic so much I would do that for you. - Cathleen Rittereiser from NoiseRiver

I'm pretty medicre but my friends have lots of haters. What does that mean? - Robert Scoble

I only clicked Like for the irony. - Zach Underwood

"We are sorting ourselves out by choosing to live with people that we agree with," Bill Clinton quote from today. Is this true of FF community? - Steven Cains

@cains: It's true of every community. The alternative: What, you're going to force me to be with people I DON'T like? Who gave you the power to choose for me? And what about freedom of association in the Constitution? - Alexander Williams from NoiseRiver

This brings to mind a couple versus from R.Kipling: ... If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much, If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it... - Franklin Naval

What's wrong with being mediocre? Doesn't mean you can't do extraordinary things. - Jim Kukral from twhirl

Jim: I'm extraordinarily mediocre. - Robert Scoble

It's not possible for everybody to like anyone. If everyone else in the world likes a person, then my husband will hate him/her. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

If you always try to get everyone to like you and never say anything that expresses your true feelings for fear that someone might be offended does that mean you hate yourself? - Guilty Party

Part of me really agrees with the quote, but part of me also thinks it's a load of crap. I think that if there's someone everyone likes, that person is probably hiding something or not allowing themself to be fully transparent. For me, I prefer total transparency - I want to know if I'm going to like you or hate you. Any middleground just wastes time and energy. - Sam Dodge

I agree to a point. You have to have an opinion and stick up for that, but you can't just be generally abrasive. - Jeremy Vaught

I was thinking about this some more Loic. I think this statement is bullshit propaganda tripe spouted by people who think being a dick is "interesting". No, it's just you being a dick. Being liked is a good thing. Let's not try to claim that good people are boring as you suggest. - Jim Kukral

Asuming you're good, I think it's easy to be disliked and come across as arogant. It's far harder to be good and liked. - Ben Metcalfe from twhirl

There's no such thing as "everybody." There's nothing wrong with mediocre. Being hated does not mean you are more [interestng, intelligent, creative] etc. Being liked and being mediocre are factors independent of each other. - Roxanne Darling from twhirl

You can be liked by many people, but it is impossible to satisfy everyone. Sometimes you will bump into people that you don't like. I would say "If everybody likes you, you are not honest" - Erno Hannink

yes that is 100% true unless you are an antagonizer. Notice Amanda Chapel is both intelligent and has people listening to her. - Noah David Simon

To be a real jerk in social networking brings people to you. but it makes ur life a nightmare. I would prefer mediocrity - Noah David Simon

Everybody Loves Raymond - Morton Fox

and then there are the Chris Brogans... - Noah David Simon

in an optimized system (social or economic) mediocrity is healthy =) (retweeting myself here into FF, since FF doesn't pickup the twitter conversation) - Thomas Knoll

I got my twitter account back @NoahDavidSimon and I notice by not being there I still have around 1000 followers. - Noah David Simon

by not tweeting I got a better share of listeners... but not really. I just didn't piss them off yet - Noah David Simon

I would rephrase it : “if you want attention from everyone, you are probably ZERO" or "if you want to be liked (loved) by everyone, you are mediocre" LOLOLOLOL - Lora Lufark

If everybody comments you...:) - Igor Poltavskiy

everybody hates me - Pokai

Each NoiseRiver's user has a proximity value to another NoiseRiver's user. It's all about interests :) - directeur from NoiseRiver

Keep adding value my friend. I like it! - Phil G

Will it let me see only stuff from people above a certain afinity? - Marcos Marado from fftogo

Stop teasing us and release this! I hate you! ;-) - Dread Pirate PJ from NoiseRiver

Thanks J. Phil :) Marcos: Well, I can code this, but I frankly don't think that filtering on an affinity parameter is very wise :( - directeur from NoiseRiver

Dread Pirate PJ: I have it working actually. But I have to optimize it before the release :) - directeur from NoiseRiver

That's more teasing! Stop it! Or I'll hate you forever! :-p - Dread Pirate PJ from NoiseRiver

:D Dread Pirate PJ : I'm really sorry :) But I have to use memcached at max, I'll have to cache everything cachebale, put some makeup on the "recommended" page, and... tada! add the proximity value to the tooltips :) - directeur from NoiseRiver

Yeah, yeah, excuses, excuses. :-) - Dread Pirate PJ from NoiseRiver

Dread Pirate PJ: Ok, ok, you impatient! new "smart" Tooltips are released :-) - directeur from NoiseRiver

Well... what I really wanted is something that would let me mark friends and keywords as must read, and then have a slider or something that would let me set above what "interesting" value I would like to read at the moment... does this make sense to you? - Marcos Marado from fftogo

@directeur I always knew you were special :) - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Marcos: Definitely! :) This will be a kind of "rude" filtering but it's really doable -- Added to my todolist :) - directeur from NoiseRiver

@Shey: Wow! :) This IS one of the biggest compliments I've had here on FriendFeed! Thank you :) - directeur from NoiseRiver

directeur: pardon, don't get me angry! ; ) i will search for mines. Unlike your comment about mate Shey. ; ) - Erhan Erdogan

Erhan! Ha! little brother! How are you doin'? :) - directeur from NoiseRiver

: ) go your citizen Shey! I will go to asleep. Hıh! : )) - Erhan Erdogan

Finally! Good work, directeur! - Dread Pirate PJ from NoiseRiver

Now we're talking! Bring it on D! - Mark Forman

Thanks Dread Pirate PJ :) The joy will be bigger when more people join NoiseRiver and set their profiles :) - directeur from NoiseRiver

@Mark: Hover any user in NoiseRiver to see the an "improved" tooltip with his proximity value to you :) - directeur from NoiseRiver
