I need to add more interesting corporate blogs to my Google Reader. Any suggestions?
Sara, Roberto Bonini, Tamar Weinberg and Mark Trapp liked this
What industries?
- Mark Trapp
I'm pretty open. I follow Starbucks, Southwest, Boeing for instance.
- Hutch Carpenter
Zappos.
- Sara
The three I probably get the most out of are Adobe's blog network, Google's blog network, and WebKit (which includes probably the only Apple-sanctioned blogging). They're less about corporate PR/policy though.
- Mark Trapp
Yeah, straight press releases can be boring. But even some corporate news is OK, as long as it's interesting. Blogs should be held to a higher level of "interestingness" than press releases.
- Hutch Carpenter
Thanks Sara - I'll check out Zappos.
- Hutch Carpenter
My sister randomly IMs me with: "Are you friends with XYZ on Facebook?" so I check and realize I'm not and add her. Then she goes: "Well, her sister just committed suicide." WTF is my sister asking me if I'm friends with her on FB? I was friends with her IRL. Why mention Facebook at all?! Now my friend request seems tacky.

- Adam Singer
I followed that particular story first hand from when it was submitted, till it finally got popular 20hours later and I gotta say I haven't, ever, seen anything weirder then this. Clearly censorship...
- Tibi Puiu
That's why I use FriendFeed now, having been a 4 times a day Digg user. The information here is just more relevant, maybe because it really is the network that's pushing it.
- David Sim
It might just be that digg's algorithm gives too much weight to a bury. I think Jay Adelson is a pretty smart guy and has his finger on the pulse of the social web. After reading "Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good" he seems like the last guy that would pull a play that would endanger his network. Then again, I guess only the people working at Digg know the truth.
- Adam Singer
I think that article had way too many buries tbh. It's definitely a rarity but it's also a political discussion that was pretty heated. That's likely why it didn't frontpage.

Is Twitter and Microblogging a dying fad? Will we see microblogging become bigger or smaller a year from now?
Sara, Jason Peck, Brendan Cooper and 10 other people liked this
Tricky question. If it gets more mainstream then it won't but I think you'll see the Bleeding Edgers live here more ...
- David Weiner
I liked the simplicity of Twitter. The other similar services all try to tack on way too many bells-and-whistles. Simple is good. And Twitter integrates with FriendFeed so nicely ...
- cerement
I think microblogging is here to stay. The community size will likely to grow, but there will be more consumers than producers.
- Harry Chen
Twitter will grow, but I doubt it will become mainstream. The average person will be more inclined to use social network status updates than a dedicated microblogging service.
- grag
Ben, Good question and I wasn't quite sure what to think. After doing a few quick searches it appears that Twitter has 2 million users (http://twitterfacts.blogspot.com/2008...) while Technorati is tracking 112 million blogs (http://technorati.com/about/). So, that is only 2%. Reading those stats makes me think, IMO, that microblogging will expand to at least 8% (or 9 million total users.)
- Czar
I also think it is here to stay. These services create a whole different angle of social networking
- Neal Jansons
I don't know how viable it will be on Twitter, but Plurk is gaining fast in popularity because of the simple fact that you can have comments like this (friendfeed). With Plurk you can know instantly if your announcement "registers" with the audience. And there is instant feedback.
- Telemill
I think what we all need to realize is that Twitter is not about microblogging (broadcasting yourself), it is about conversation (same as FriendFeed where conversation is even easier which explains its rapid growth). And I think in a year from now we will only see this trend sharpen: people will stick to the services that allow for a more efficient conversation instead of pushing your ideas and thoughts to people without expecting anything in return.
- Svetlana Gladkova
I disagree, I think micro-blogging (broadcast) greatly differ from the bi-directional / conversation we see here in FriendFeed and blogs. So the twitter's and IM products are here to stay. They have a unique and distinct user base.
- Susan Beebe
I think instant messaging is the target of micro blogging (and I agree with Svetlana when she says Twitter is about conversation)
- Romain Péchard
from twhirl
I just wrote a blog post partly connected to this. I think microblogging will survive - but not in and of itself. I think it will survive in concert with other services that integrate with it. It seems that everything is becoming more inclusive - therefore services that try to cause divergent behaviour (e.g. commenting directly on blog posts within the blogs) will probably fail. It's exciting to be around while this is shaking out though...
- Jonathan Beckett
I don't think of microblogs as replacements for traditional blogs, to me they're human-readable endpoints for publishing data feeds.
- Andy Murdoch
I think there's a benefit to microblogging - smaller attention spans. I don't anticipate its near death as people start to multitask more often and find that saying less means more.
- Tamar Weinberg
I think it's a little early to predict the death of microblogging. It's only now just starting to pick up speed.
- David Cohn
@Susan: I have never meant to predict Twitter would die - it's just that I don't see anyone values microblogging in itself - people tend more to use it as a conversational tool which has 2 part involved at least. So I don't care about Twitter as a microblogging platform, I care about it as a social network where lots of people I find interesting discuss things (same and even better goes to FriendFeed).
- Svetlana Gladkova
from twhirl
I don't think microblogging will die, but I do think it's telling that this conversation isn't also on Twitter. And if Twitter is about conversation, then FF is more Twitterish than Twitter. It's easier to follow a conversation here, and thus easier to converse.
- Brian Carter
@Stuart Forsyth agreed. microblogging is trending in the direction of other "micro interactions" - speed, efficiency, brevity - for better or worse.
- Dean Terry
I don't think microblogging will replace blogging, anymore than blogs replace books or TV replaced movies- I realize they are on different platforms, but take the metaphor- there are different media of different lengths for different purposes- some blog posts give me detail I need that I can't get on Twitter or FF; some are so long I print them out- some are too long and I never get around to finishing them- but I read books that are longer in less than a week...
- Brian Carter
I think micro blogging in part was just permission to create content that was more immediate and unfinished - with the idea that we create together. And it certainly will continue and grow.
- Tony
microblogging is here to stay, especially plurk where you can have dozens of simultaneous conversations. twitter is old fashioned, it's hard to go back and see what you've missed...

Sounds like Brands are relying on influential users/customers as their marketing. It is much more personal when a users brags on a company than when a company brags on him self.
- Joseph Rodgers
I could see this working in the short term, but I imagine users would get used to the fact that friends are appearing in ads and then begin ignoring them. I could only see this working in the long term if they make sure that social ads only focus on things friends have actually done, such as "Tom scored 1600 in The Space Game app" (info which would have to be provided by the app). If they start just inserting friend thumbnails into any ad just to grab your attention people will quickly learn to ignore them.

Pageviews shouldn't be a concern if you're producing good content -- especially if you're an A-list blogger. If you're NOT producing good content as an A-list then you're just trying to live off your "fame". It's like crappy music artists who keep putting out crappy music and people still love it.

Scott brings up a good point. If they have RSS, they already lost "pageviews" but subscriber counts are supposedly important.

- Jeremy Toeman
FriendFeed is surely much better for bloggers that feed readers are. It makes users more likely to click links (partially because full feed content isn't included) and discover new blogs. And seeing an interesting discussion on FF makes me even more likely to click through to the article. How is that bad?

When I read a blog, I don't waste any brain cells worrying how the author is getting compensated for the article posted. He (or she) should've figured that strategy out before I got there. If the content isn't compelling me to view the page, then there's another topic for the author to contemplate.

Scott, that's cool, but I'm not interested until it's ubiquitous and much less than $0.10. I want it to be so inexpensive I can "tip" folks all day long and not hurt my finances. If millions of us do that all day some folks will be making serious cash.

It will always be about the conversation. Have an informed opinion; be different; work hard; contribute. If I find someone out there I like, I will seek to grab as much information about him/her as possible.

While bloggers get less pageviews due to comments moving away to aggregators, they gain much wider exposure which leads to more pageviews. Bottom line, the total number of pageviews stays the same or even increases with the added value of having more unique views, which has more value.

I was wondering, does anyone know if there's a way to make the comments from FriendFeed automatically also show up in the relevant blog? Similar to how we can check a box to duplicate a post on Twitter? Would that maybe solve the problem? If it's possible to do, that is.

- Mark Trapp
That is, framed in the context of addressing immediate problems. The social media room isn't that bad. I think it's probably noisier than some people like because it's mostly a rehashing of what's already occurring outside the room.

I'm really big into Diigo lately. Has been really helpful in collaborating in maintaining a website. My client puts notes all over his site saying what he wants changed. I change it and not it in the note.

I'm addicted to del.icio.us: I post everything to it... well, almost everything!

i love delicious. i use it for bookmarking / sharing pages i come across. I use Google Reader to bookmark / share feeds. It annoys me that I'm building up two separate repositories, is there a way to sync the two (a delicious brand feed reader spin-off would be ace!). I'm using a greasemonkey script in GReader but it's a poor substitute. Can anyone IM with a solution?

Each has it's merits. I'm more inclined to G Reader notes because of the convenience since I'm on Google's web services most of the time. FF will aggregates all other services.

I use del.icio.us to bookmark. But I also use GReader, FF, Twitter, ReadBag....Ahhhhh when does it end?

I used to use del.icio.us but now that you can link anywhere from in gReader, I'll almost always share w/note. I do still refer to my del.icio.us network though - I guess I'd better start contributing again. ;)

They are very different and all serve different purposes. I don't see how I can compare them. But If I had to choose 1 that I had to have over the others, it would be GReader.

GReader is #1 for me by a wide margin.

I go to the optimal opportunity to share. del.icio.us All this talk of buying Yahoo. If Yahoo bought friendfeed there would be no need to sell. think about it. Yahoo suffers from fragmentation and no centralized core.
