“I've been thinking about friendship all week. I've decided that I wouldn't let someone who incessantly attacked another of my friends into my living room. So, why would I do that here on FriendFeed?”

I can't argue with that. I've noticed a lot more pointless lashing on Twitter & FF. It's noise that's pointless (and I like noise too). - phil baumann

Pretty sure we can agree on that. :) - Aaron Brazell

Let's keep FF civil. - Jay Tannenbaum

Jay: it's a lot easier to tear down than to build up. Plus, by fighting with people you aggregate attention (everyone in High School pays attention to a fight, but rarely pays attention to the smart kid building a science project). - Robert Scoble

cool rule and analogy... Is that an analogy? I agree with you. No different than phishing for followers is attacking people for the sake of attention and then hoping attention = followers. If everyone was nice... THen everyone else would be nice!! HUH? - Cody Heitschmidt

The only problem with this argument is you can't exactly mimic your real life behavior with your virtual ones. - Muthu Ramadoss

bravos, robert. there is never an excuse for bad manners - Dave Martin

Muthu - Not true in this case you sure as hell can defend and protect those your care about in anysituation - Cody Heitschmidt

Attacks are a cheap way of scoring points and often say more about the attacker then the victim. Like Jay says, it brings attention, but if done simply for that purpose, it can be a difficult ledge to step back from. - Ross Maguire

Depends on the context, I guess. Reasonable people can disagree and have opposing points of view, but repeated ad hominem attacks are simply unacceptable, no? - Andrew Feinberg

I think everyone needs to go outside and breathe some actual air. Maybe see that thing called sunshine all the cool kids are talking about. - Cyndy

Something we all should do. If there were consequences to being mean rather than rewards more people might try being nice. - Summer

Andrew: a disagreement is one thing. I'm talking about something else. Agree. Cyndy: I live in Half Moon Bay. It's overcast right now. And, anyway, I saw enough of the sun this week in Washington DC to last me a month! :-) - Robert Scoble

I think part of the problem is the term "friend". Just because you subscribe to someone's feed doesn't mean you have to like or even respect that person. - Mike Doeff

Mike: I'm talking about real life friends in this post. You know, those kinds of people you've had dinner with and done stuff with and who've been over your house, and all that? But, yes, I'd apply this same test to the people I'm following here on FriendFeed. If I saw someone attacking one of my online friends over and over I'd block them too. It's behavior I don't need in my life. - Robert Scoble

I agree. Who needs the negativity? There's enough of that in the world. Having a respectful difference of opinion is one thing; but a situation where one person constantly attacks other people is not helpful for anyone. It's pointless in person or online. - Cathryn Hrudicka

I agree - online attacking or bickering or arguments are pointless anyways most of the time - having said that I think I've only ever blocked one person on twitter and that was 'cos they were spamming adverts for some sort of crap - Joe Breen

Civility is important in all arenas, but we must remember that there is a difference between online interactions and real life. Humor, etiquette, and context are all things that are radically different online, and as such, do not have the gravity of face-to-face rudeness or niceness. Besides, Twitter and FF are tools, as are many of the people I follow on them ;) See? That joke might not fly IRL. Oh wait... It didn't here either. - Juan Aguilar

Yes, but you can still hear about attackers from others, blocking only works half well. - Jeremiah Owyang

So right. Even if you are having a disagreement, there's basic respect. Either you are building the relationship or you are destroying it. Be honest about that choice, and ask yourself if that's really the kind of person you want to be. If you make the choice to be a jerk, don't go labeling yourself a hero. - Ro (Lilyhill)

Jeremiah: that would work just like it does in my living room. My friends often tell me about people who hate me, attack me, or lie about me to Valleywag. That doesn't mean that I need to let those people into my living room (or get unblocked here on FriendFeed). - Robert Scoble

then again on the flipside it's interesting for us onlookers if/when arrington & scoble argue/attack/bicker. :) - Joe Breen

The lack of truly personal interaction has brought about a lack of civility and too many pointless arguments. - David Z

a very sound sentiment - Andrea Baker

@David Z: Very astute observation IMO. Amazing how many 'fierce and fiery' folks via email or IM suddenly become very cordial when you get them on the phone, much less have a face to face. - AJ Kohn

I used to think like this when I had a BBS in 1990s. The BBS actually was in my living room so I had no worries about telling people the rules. I learnt then that some people who are reasonable in the "real world" are nutjobs online.. - Stuart Woodward

You are an inspiration to many of us Scoble. - Satya Boora

Fair enough, though for me, FriendFeed is *not* my living room. - Brent Newhall

I agree - there is no reason why people should treat people online differently than they would IRL. Although on the internet it is difficult to behave the same way .. as you may meet people online you would have never met IRL, talk to people would have been too self conscience to talk to, etc. so it gives weak people a place to get all that real life anger out on people they will never meet. which is pretty messed up, but as a former shy girl .. i went through that when I 1st went online a million yrs ago. - Jenz

It depends on your definition of attack. If by attack you mean disagree, even passionately, then I disagree. - Michael Tefft

I've been pondering this myself. But then, I'm zealously guarded about whom I let into my house... I don't necessarily consider FriendFeed on the same level. But I'm very confused about what seem to be 'mixed standards' from folks of late. Like why one sort of attack is deemed "funny" or "keeping it real" and another is just deemed "trollish" when they seem the same to me. It's a very grey area for me. - Lucretia Pruitt

Thanks for sharing your experiences in DC... these blogs, comments, pictures, videos and interviews are really amazing!! I feel like I was able to go there vicariously through your visit - Susan Beebe

Yeah, I'm using a Canon 5D. I uploaded 31 pictures last night to this set, really great week. - Robert Scoble

RS -- did you have an opportunity to bring up your concerns about an Iran War with Pelosi or any other VIP? - Sean McBride

Good stuff! - Grayson Daughters

Hey Robert - we'd be honored to have you speak at FOWA London in October. Interested? - Ryan Carson via Alert Thingy

Sean: No. My agenda was to learn about tech/business policy. It's pretty clear, though, that the current president is not going to be able to get anything done with this Congress, certainly if he tries to go to war he's going to get a LOT of resistance. - Robert Scoble

Ryan: I'm interested, but October is pretty nutty for me. I'll work on my schedule this week, let's talk on, say, Monday afternoon? - Robert Scoble

By the way, all my photos are donated to Public Domain, so if you want a shot of the White House, you can use mine without giving me credit. - Robert Scoble

Scobles' for Prez !! .if he runs in 2018 will you elect him ? :)- pss. take a look at the first pic ! - Peter Dawson

Peter: yeah, look at that first photo: FriendFeed goes to the White House! :-) - Robert Scoble

Robert, great experience for you son, he will remember this always. What an awesome time in history for him to be able to experience this and see if from the inside. Thanks for sharing with FF. - Fred Neil

This is good stuff Robert - Especially your comment about Public Domain. Have used one or two in the past. Agree, fabulous experience for your son. Did you say the Press Secretary is on Friendfeed now ?? :) - Charlie Anzman

RS - just let me point out that if Bush, Cheney and the neocons do succeed in pushing an Iran War over the opposition of the American people, the effects on the high tech industry could be catastrophic -- these issues are intimately linked. A devasted American economy will directly impact high tech projects in a negative way. - Sean McBride

Charlie: I'm trying to get Scott Stanzel onto FriendFeed. I think it'd be an awesome way for him to find a new PR job after he is sent back to normal life in January. :-) - Robert Scoble

Robert, when are you going to enter politics? I think you'd fare well, especially in San Francisco. - Jesse Stay via twhirl

Rocky would tell those press where to put it (love that pic!) - Jesse Stay via twhirl

That'd be fab. Want to DM me your mobile number or IM? I'm ryancarson on Twitter. - Ryan Carson via Alert Thingy

Jesse: Scoble has some winning traits for a career in politics: bright, personable and focused on enlightened, creative capitalism. And, unlike John McCain, he actually has some experience with using a PC on the Internet. :) - Sean McBride

These are fantastic! Now I'm going to have to subscribe to your feed again, Robert. ; ) Love the one of Rocky at the WWII memorial. Did you take that? Simply gorgeous. - Carla Thompson

Carla, yeah, I shot that of Rocky. Thomas Hawk taught me to use a simple 50 mm fast lens and to appreciate the night light for getting great photos. - Robert Scoble

i still like Twitter. but while i wait for it to get its act together, i'm cheating on it right now by using FriendFeed. call it an open relationship with no strings attached. heh. - Christine Lu

But the fact is, we've already done so much on Twitter, and leaving it would be throwing all of it away and any hopes of it making a comeback. But what I see here is still a Twitter message which proves that most of our elders on FriendFeed are still using it. I'd like to see any of you cease to use it anymore, and maybe it will have a greater affect on others to do the same. - Josh Jenkins

I just have a lot more followers on Twitter :) I don't think everyone is ready to switch to FriendFeed just yet. FriendFeed doesn't have a lot of features like SMS, and it really doesn't cater that well to regular messages - Chacha via twhirl

I prefer reading things on friendfeed but I still tend to only post to twitter. Strange isn't it? - Jason Mitchell via Alert Thingy

I don't think that FriendFeed has that great of a Messaging System. Just really a Sharing System - Chacha via twhirl

Going along with that comment, I can't really find another service besides Twitter that updates as frequently on FriendFeed - Chacha via twhirl

That's just damn fine writing. You had me at "frail architecture." [Also, if Twitter was mentioned on The Daily Show, then it has finally jumped the snark.] - Donna Mugavero

I've taken the week off from Twitter.... the commenting system on FF is amazing. Twitter needs to step it up. - Jason Calacanis

I have to agree with @chacha102, I don't think everyone is ready to fully switch FriendFeed - Justin Yost

Twitter folks have gotta be shitting bricks right now - Jarin Udom

I think twitter will end up being a place for status updates as it was initially intended. - Tsega Dinka

Quick Unsolicited PR/Customer Service Tip - When there are signs of a mass migration away from your service, it's probably not a good time to schedule a mid-day three hour maintenance window. Just grin and bear it until the next after hours scheduled maintenance period. - Ken Sheppardson

Would I be so bold as to suggest that conversations YOU are involved in are moving to FF. This is not one social network. There are thousands upon thousands of cliques within the network that are quite happy with twitter being a slow sometimes unreliable SMS/IM replacement as there are active communities on Pownce, Jaiku and Jiwai.de. - Dedric

Very nice addition. Keep em coming. - Tsega Dinka

We definitely want feedback. I literally had six versions of the algorithm running in parallel, and this is the best one according to our qualitative assessment, but we need more data to really improve it. Let me know if you see too much of something or missed something you think is important - it will help me debug quality issues. - Bret Taylor

@scobleizer: It also does a bit of what you want for individual services as well. Here are the best Twitters from the past day: http://friendfeed.com/summary?.... Click the service icons to restrict the "best of" view to a single service. It doesn't let you send the link out to anyone since it is entirely personalized, nor is it the generalized search interface you described, but it is a step in that direction. - Bret Taylor

Also looks like the date can go from 1 thru 30. greater than 30 reverts to 30 - Atul Arora

Bret: that's very cool. It's amazing how few things I actually have missed. But, this will be useful to check in on. One thing I do wish it had was "big things since last time you were here." - Robert Scoble

Next? I'd love to have a way to see a true reverse-chronological view of the "Everyone" feed, but let me filter by "n" Likes and "n" Comments. - Robert Scoble

How about, do a time stamp of the last time Robert logged in, and every hour afterward, do a screen capture of every single update from everybody he follows, save it as a massive PDF file, and send it to him via e-mail attachment. Repeat every 60 minutes. - Louis Gray

Very nice feature, for me, given the addiction, I suspect the "day" one will be the most used to make sure I didn't miss anything good. :) - felix

Bret: Yeah!! Great feature!! I've been waiting for this one! woo hoo! :) - Susan Beebe

Feedback: 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day look pretty good. 14-day and 30-day summaries seem swamped by the last 7 days (Maybe searches in 10-30-days should have older items weighted heavier than in 1-3-7 day summaries). Awesome! This really helps with the "Page 11" (Search past #300-399 fails design). My Friends feed (of 149 people) only goes back about 4 hrs. Everything past that is lost... Wish my regular Friends feed would save 24+ hrs. Nice job Bret! - Mitchell Tsai
