so, like you have robot insurance? did sam waterston sell you on it? - Andrew Feinberg

Is the community really that much smarter? All these networks of made of the same people who just keep pitching their tents in the next social network park. It is smart, but it's the same people. This is "white flight" for the tech communtity. "Quick, move! Before the riff-raff comes and spoils things for the clever people." Don't you want the masses to "get it" and join in? Then everyone disparges the non-tech folk when they actually show up to the party. - Trine Curtis

Trine: actually, yes, the community here is much smarter. Why? Because smart people need more than 140 characters to communicate well. - Robert Scoble

Trine: and it is NOT the same people. There aren't any bots here that I can see. - Robert Scoble

If friendfeed does it right, bots will automatically be filtered out of the real-time fun - Charbax

If they were smart they would get a mobile website.. Also, is there a way to insert pictures in a post? The only way I have been able to do it is using the Bookmarklet when sharing a page. - David Gross

Charbax: even if friendfeed does it wrong I can filter out bots with the search engine. Here, let me demonstrate: - Robert Scoble

David: underneath my text entry box on friendfeed is a link that says "Add: Photos." Doesn't that work? - Robert Scoble

duh well, i did not see it, thanks Robert :o) - David Gross

ok, I will whisper, when I get a new follower I put them in a special group, until I know if their worth following. - Kim Landwehr

Charbox: here's my feed WITH BOTS: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... - Robert Scoble

Here's friendfeed WITHOUT BOTS: http://friendfeed.com/search... (Bots don't get "liked" on friendfeed). - Robert Scoble

Kim: good strategy! I do the same thing. I leave everyone in a group named "Twitter" until they prove they are not a bot. Then I move them out to a higher level group. Heheh. - Robert Scoble

I really do not have much to post within friendfeed, I mainly share blogs I read and other stuff. I like to Like and Comment though and cannot do it in Opera on my moto q :( - David Gross

Well, I would suggest that when given more than 140 characters, there is no guarantee anything from 141 on will be remotely intelligent. And as far as it being the SAME people, my point is that everyone here probably has a Twitter account. There are all on Twitter too. Those same people. - Trine Curtis

Trine: the thing about Twitter is, it's 2/3rds bots. They aren't here. Maybe the people are the same, but the bots sure aren't. - Robert Scoble

filtering only your friend's likes http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... doesn't work yet does it? Including your friends friends likes, and ordering by amount of likes and by users with most likes on their own activities - Charbax

But I don't follow bots. I follow people. And of the 250 or so people I follow, less than 80 are on FF. To use FF would mean to ignore 170 people. I know half the people who follow me are auto-follows and probably bots, but I don't see anything they say or do. You said yourself that the bots never say anything. I guess I don't see how this harms/improves my connection to those 250 people. - Trine Curtis

Trine: you can run Seesmic Desktop at the same time as you run Firefox, you know. And, if you asked your bots to come over to friendfeed I bet at least some of them would. - Robert Scoble

Trine: have you run http://friendfeed.com/friends... (click on Twitter) lately? - Robert Scoble

I do run Seesmic Desktop, but it's not 100% for me yet. What bots of mine do you keep referring to? I don't have any followers that I'm keeping up with. What they choose to do is their business. I'm not trying to raise an audience. Also, I did run the friend check as soon as I arrived tonight. Still less than 50% of the people I follow on Twitter are on FF. - Trine Curtis

Trine: the number is changing every day. Come back in a month and it'll be 87%. - Robert Scoble

Why are you worried about the bots? If you don't follow them, who cares? If they don't say anything anyway, who cares? - Joel Bennett

Trine: as for the bots of yours. Hey, if you have no followers why are you so Twitter happy? Twitter only cares about celebrities and bots. If you aren't one of those you'll be happier over here for a whole lot of reasons. - Robert Scoble

Last thing, honest. Seesmic Desktop doesn't support anything except Twitter and Facebook. Did you mean Twhirl? - Trine Curtis

Trine: no, I keep Seesmic Desktop up for Twitter, Safari up for friendfeed. Hopefully soon @loic will get a clue and see that there's a lot of users over on friendfeed but for now he listens to the bots, not to the humans. - Robert Scoble

Robert, if I were you I wouldn't Try so hard. Let Friendfeed speak for itself. You don't want a flood to people coming here. Then it will get like Twitter, overcrowded. Btw, i have seesmic desktop running to let me know if someone wants to speak. Now that I haven't been paying as much attention to twitter people, I don't hear the sound of @ or DM. - Myrna

Myrna: Twitter isn't overcrowded. That's not its problem. Its problem is its search engine sucks and its interaction model sucks and people are just starting to figure it out. Plus Twitter decided that all that mattered are celebrities and early adopters can go suck sand. :-) - Robert Scoble

Oh, rest the bots, I get your stand already. As FF support is in the top 10 on the seesmic desktop support page, I think it would be hard to ignore. Particularly since Twhirl already supported it. Let's hope. - Trine Curtis

Trine: have faith :) Everything is good wherever you are. You can do both until you're ready to not do both. Maybe you will always fly back and forth, that's good too. - Myrna

Hey Trine, you're invited to have some chocolate also http://friendfeed.com/classy-... - Myrna
