Do you still think FriendFeed will die, Robert? Just curious. - Jeff Harbert

Jeff: if I ever said that I take it back. That said the FriendFeed team is mostly working on other things now. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Nice :) Curious though, if you could graph subscribers over time, would you say that the most recent 5,000 has been one of the slower periods of growth? - Andy Bold

I have almost 15K followers. - Dave Winer

Andy: a little slower but not much. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

I haven't been on friendfeed much really since the facebook announcement but it is nice to have something to fall back on when my beloved twitter is out. - Lise

You just followed me. I'm not following you yet.. Will do so if you accept my invite on Facebook that I sent to you a few years ago.. - #alaskareport

Johnny: I deleted about 10,000 Facebook invites and accept very few new ones, sorry. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Robert: On FriendFeed, we're all celebrities! And spammers. :) - Steve Lynch from twhirl

@ffcode - hmm, who exactly is dave "hudson"? - Dave Hodson

Congrats. Yeah, I haven't noticed much abuse on FriendFeed; but then again it's hardly used by the mainstream. - Joe Manna

Joe, what's not mainstream about 50,000 people? - Louis Gray

No problem. I just sent you another Facebook invite via Facebook Mail. Just now.. If not accepted then you're pulled from the contact list.. Do you need a Google Wave invite? I have 4 left.. tick tick tick.. ;-) - #alaskareport

what does that mean? i mean what good are you getting from those 50K followers? how many of them don't provide content back to you? - Jonathan Jesse

Time's up... ciao - #alaskareport

Ive hardly used friendfeed since facebook took over and (apparently) seem to want to 'run it down.' Pity. - Jim Connolly

sorry Dave Hodson ;) - ffcode

congratulations, got any tips for the rest of us? how long have you been on friendfeed for? twitter(at)locspoc - Loc

Do you feel any pressure Robert? Does having such a huge number of followers bring more responsibility and quality of the content stress for you? - Ozkan Altuner

Spammers or not, 50k would be a sign of info overload for anyone: http://bit.ly/3KQSAz - Leif Hansen
