- RobinDotNet
from iPhone
People will get interested in this "dead website" and join it. If not ,people already present here will leave and make it really dead.

- Robert Scoble
from iPhone

How many more reasons does he have yet?
- jef
Oh so its like an island, a little haven in the internets

Just ate, will go walk dogs now, see if I can follow this thread via iPhone
- Stephen Pickering
Things you call dead haven't yet got the chance to be born.
- Meryn Stol
Shari: what don't you get?
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Meryn: I had 46,000 followers here before I declared it dead. How many does a service require to be "born?"
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
I guess you really don't like that Facebook bought the company.
- jef
By using FF, is Robert Scoble actually declaring it undead? Does that make it a zombie service? FF of the Living Dead...
- RobinDotNet
from iPhone
jef: Facebook is a great company but if more than 1/10th of the team is actively working on FriendFeed in four weeks I will give $50 to the American Red Cross.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Robin: remember what it means when a blogger declares something dead.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
It's....dead? So we're wandering the FF mall looking for brains (and LOLcats)?
- WoH: Minding her Steves
Robert, do you mean 1/10th of the FF team, or 1/10th of the FB team?
- RobinDotNet
from iPhone
What if Facebook starts to promote it and it gets millions of users, then what? hmmmmmm
- Stephen Pickering
Steve Gillmor declared Microsoft Office dead and it went onto make billions more dollars.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Heh: the iPhone misspells Gillmor. I fixed the spelling but now I know why everyone adds an "e" onto it.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
making money and being dead are mutually exclusive
- Steve Gillmor
yes I do and yes they are
- Steve Gillmor
and FF is most certainlt NOT dead
- Steve Gillmor
Well, I think it's dead too. At least, it never became very popular as much as Twitter, did it?
- jef
we can use the health care savings to treat twitter addicts
- Sherry Reynolds
Steve, will it be integrated into Facebook, and as Robert said, no one actively working on the stand alone site, or do you think the stand alone site will continue to get better?
- Stephen Pickering
jef: I get more engagement here than on Twitter and I have gotten many times more new followers here this week than on Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Oh, I meant "RSS".
- jef
What the hell is wrong with you Robert? FriendFeed is still ticking away; you have no association with it and therefore no right to voice its status.
- Mitch
Lots of people became aware of it because Facebook bought it
- Stephen Pickering
I should have clearly pointed "RSS". I wasn't referring to FriendFeed.
- jef
See!, thanks PJ, what do you think so far?
- Stephen Pickering
FF of the living dead....what we need is Jesus....he can resurrect us
- Jeunelle Foster
Mark Zuckerberg = Jesus
- Stephen Pickering
jef: my favorite Tweets come here via RSS. Both are definitely dead!
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
He's more like Beelzebub to me in the matter of FriendFeed. I mean "Zuckerberg".
- jef
40.5% of tweets are pointless babble. what is the ratio of comments on this thread?
- Sherry Reynolds
Well, I'm quite a Twitter guy. But, yeah, RSS is definitely dead or dying.
- jef
we are exercising the power of social media, even if it's pointless
- Jeunelle Foster
FriendFeed couldn't get traction. They've married some folks who know how to get traction. And Facebook's married some folks who know how to do real time. Both services will benefit, and so will the "users" or "sharecroppers"
- Stephen Pickering
If RSS weren't dead why would Dave WIner be rebooting it? If Office isn't dead why would MS be moving to the cloud?
- Steve Gillmor
But Office on the Cloud is still Office, no?
- Stephen Pickering
not so far Stephen. eventually sure. What's the micromessage reader in Office called?
- Steve Gillmor
Hmmmmm, I don't know. I don't use office. Or do you jest? :)
- Stephen Pickering
deadly serious :)
- Steve Gillmor
Sherry: who cares? We are all dead! ;-)
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
What is micromessage reader BTW?
- jef
you're looking at one jef
- Steve Gillmor
If others think it's dead, perhaps that's good - take a look at these http://scienceblogs.com/waltatr... and http://friendfeed.com/waltcra... and http://scienceblogs.com/waltatr...
- Bora Zivkovic
You mean you are a piece of software in Office, Steve?
- jef
Damn, must go walk dogs, and don't remember my FriendFeed password so can't log onto it from iPhone
- Stephen Pickering
no jef, FF is a micromessage reader (among other things)
- Steve Gillmor
Okay, then does Office have one in its suite? (Didn't know)
- jef
not that I'm aware of
- Steve Gillmor
feels like I'm being mocked here, but what the hell? ;)
- jef
Who's doing the mocking? I rebuke them in the name of Jesus
- Jeunelle Foster
not mocking you, follow the thread. Pickering asked whether Office in cloud will be Office, I said not until it has a micromessage reader.
- Steve Gillmor
Oh, sorry. Missed the one. Thanks!
- jef
I'm too drunk for this thread. *forms conga line* <-----srsly on FriendFeed in club at anime convention!!! XD

The whole "RSS is dead" is a broad sweeping statement positioned to get a rise, and meaningless without context. Why? How? What exactly does that mean "RSS is dead" Its usefulness serves people, then its very much alive.
- Benjamin Taylor
Well, I said "RSS is dead" in a view point of consumer. Do you know anyone what RSS means or does?
- jef
the context defines the meaning. It means that RSS has moved from a disruptive technology to a mature one, and is now being disrupted in turn by micromessaging
- Steve Gillmor
Makes complete sense, in that context. I had a different understanding of the meaning behind that statement.
- Benjamin Taylor
understandable given the noise from those who want to attack the messenger
- Steve Gillmor
The best thing? It's somehow reassuring to see just how passionate the FFish subset of folks is about community.
- Kathy Fitch
yes Kathy, by contrast FF continues to disrupt, and particularly a willing Facebook.
- Steve Gillmor
WIll have something to say about that RSN Bill
- Steve Gillmor
Is RSS a zombie now? or is it still too early to tell... by the way, dead = no productivity innovation happening, imho
- Alberto Saavedra
from Nambu
So "dead thing" is like "no more innovations from a certain service or product"?
- jef
google RSS is Dead for what I actually said
- Steve Gillmor
sorry RSS Rest in Peace
- Steve Gillmor
You mean Google Reader?
- jef
You did?????
- Roberto Bonini
from iPhone
I use ZGoogle reader almost not at all these days, but that not what I said.
- Steve Gillmor
I did what Roberto
- Steve Gillmor
google as a verb.. Gee, feels like I'm becoming some kinda Troll here. Didn't mean to but, sorry about that anyway.
- jef
you're doing fine, jef. relax
- Steve Gillmor
BTW, what kind of understanding did you have on "RSS is dead", Ben? Just out of curiosity.
- jef
Steve: Nothing. I was asking Robert :) Its news to me that he said that. I think this is the early adopter's early adopter's view.
- Roberto Bonini
from iPhone
Robert didn't declare FF dead in the title to this post. He's giving a list of implications of it being "declared dead by Scoble." It's a subjunctive use of the phrase - something imagined, a thought experiment.
- Nick in Manila
Ah. Right. I think there is life in the old girl yet....
- Roberto Bonini

9. You can move back in with your blog. Ya'll can get married and live happily ever after.
- Stephen Pickering
That is good... Robert's back to blogging thing didint last very long....
- Roberto Bonini
from iPhone
not dead, but honnestly it will make some return to coding and this is good.
- abdellah
So RSS is dead, Twitter is about to be pronounced dead, and Robert Scoble is declaring FriendFeed "dead". What would we have then?
- jef
Blogging. Which, really? Also dead. I think all we have left is wikis, email, and cocktail napkins.
- Sean Gallagher
Honestly. Declaring something "dead" because it doesn't have that new-car-smell anymore, and somebody's trying to, heaven forbid, *commercialize it* is just a sign of tech-ADD. CORBA was supposed to be dead, but it's still alive. COBOL was supposed to be dead, but MicroFocus is still making money. Hell, even DOS isn't dead, or filesharing, or the music industry, or old media. They just don't have that magical infinite potential of the blank piece of paper anymore.
- Sean Gallagher
However....Friendster? Dead. :D
- Sean Gallagher
@Sean by that definition, punch cards aren't dead. http://www.wired.com/wired... (their site is http://www.cardamation.com/ )
- mjc
Punch cards are a valid storage format. I bet I could do RSS on punchcards.
- Sean Gallagher
Sean: Rss benefited at the beginning of this cycle, and it made a huge difference. This is happening now with realtime. Your last sentence would only be improved by removing the word "just." Don't know what the "commercialized" reference means, nothing wrong with any of this making money. Oh and the music industry -- that's just plain dead.
- Steve Gillmor
Yeah EMI is going to default, as media say.
- jef
:-))First time that I can enjoy the dead ,Today I checked the new tools of Google reader and they are doing well ,,, Wave is coming and we can all feel it
- Johni Fisher
dead or alive who cares.
- Pam Gwenzi
The Create a bundle to share is the first step for the real time RSS that is dead 2
- Johni Fisher
the last time the music industry died, the Beatles showed up
- Steve Gillmor
bundles should incorporate OPML
- Steve Gillmor
"the last time the music industry died, the Beatles showed up - Steve Gillmor " I'm ready for the Beatles!! Bring 'em on!
- Amy Flynn
wondering when gwave is going to be dead
- Jim Posner
Ashton, Oprah and Ellen will finally sign up.
- Erik Boles
Jim, it needs to be alive first :-) so, anytime after October or whenever KISS apps arrive to Wave platform
- Alberto Saavedra
Zombies, says @RobinDotNet? We have ways of dealing with zombies, both on a computer system and in real life. (wonder if the new Tron remake will have zombie processes...)
- Don Faulkner
from BuddyFeed
Declaring it dead means we all feel sorry for it, and use it all the more! (resurrection syndrome)
- Technogran
FF..please don't die=(
- ciw
It is far from dead. But we will not get all the Bots and the security issues that Twitter has
- Rob Cairns
Hey I wanna Sue FacePOOP fer Giving me da Boot! Can U recommend a Razor Sharp Lawyer!!
- Billy Warhol
i stopped recommending friendfeed. This place is just way too cool to share it with others ;)
- Sascha Pallenberg
a collapse into FB by FF beyond feature cherry picking would seem rather myopic... think FB Labs to foil Google Labs and push leading edge adoption that is a safe distance from the close fisted FB silo -- sizzle and promise at a controlled feature grafting rate
