1. That he uses Helvetica theme. Me too. Love it! - Robert Scoble

2. That he doesn't accept or ignore invites. I know he's not the only one. About 80% of the people I invited to my secret group on Twitter didn't accept my invites. - Robert Scoble

It's too bad that inviting people into things no longer works. We're getting bombarded with things around the edges of our content so we just ignore it all. - Robert Scoble

Anyone else finding this? - Robert Scoble

I have dozens of invites that need to be accepted... thanks for the reminder - LPH™ and his dog P™

I always accept or ignore invites. Dave's doing friendfeed wrong. - Alex Scoble

I had to create a spot in my schedule for socialweb invite handling - not that "i'm all that!" but just that with so many sources it starts to get rather busy and I go and review and research each one carefully so it's a rather long process. - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

I use my FF as I should use it and accept or Ignore requests as soon as they come in. Golden Rule. - CW™

Can't you only invite people who are subscribed to you? If so, the problem you are having is you are subscribed to the wrong people :) - Tim Hoeck

Tim: Dave Winer is subscribed to me. It wouldn't help with people like him. My request gets buried. - Robert Scoble

Robert, I do the same. Fortunately I follow your Tweets so I knew to check my invites for your secret group invites but I wouldn't have noticed them otherwise. - Jesse Stay

Haha. As soon as I saw the Helvetica theme, I thought of Dave. I use it because it is content centric. - Steven (optionshiftk)

I guess I'm weird for liking "Butterfly Corner." - Darren Landrum

I look at all my invites, but some of them are to rooms that I don't want to subscribe to, yet I'm mildly amused that they exist, so I just let the invites ride as a reminder. - Laura Norvig

I also use Helvetica, love it. - Craig Deakin

I feel so left out. I've never received and invite. ): - Steven (optionshiftk)

Robert, my point was RE: "We're getting bombarded with things around the edges of our content so we just ignore it all".. if you are getting bombarded with invites, rethink your subscriptions.. and it was sort of a joke, because you are screwed :P - Tim Hoeck

For 2), the problem is that people know how to report spam, but very know how to deal with bacn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki.... Still waiting for smart robots to take care of them :) - Jérôme Flipo

Tim, I'm not sure about the "then rethink your subs". You too probably have friends who send emails with Comic San or pictures in the signature (etc.); but is it enough to block them? - Jérôme Flipo

sometimes :) - Tim Hoeck

Robert: Just a side thought, but have you considered the potential impact of telling 99% of those who follow you on Twitter / FriendFeed that they are not invited into your various groups? - Jim Connolly

Jim: yes. I'm interested to see what happens. - Robert Scoble

Me too! - Jim Connolly

Helvetica theme is kewl - fijidaddy from iPhone

Most people (at least to a limited survey :)) seem to prefer the Helvetica theme. http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Diego Barros 

I wonder if it's not so much ignoring it as not seeing it due to too many other inbound requests. For instance, with your secret group on Twitter, unless you sent along a separate note, some people might not have seen it due to having notifications turned off and auto-follow on. - Justin Levy

Helvetica is like eating a taco without hot sauce. - Todd Hoff

@Jim: +1 for savvy marketing idea and understanding of consumer psychology. - AJ Kohn

LOL AJ - Todd Hoff

There's just so much spam going on so people decided not to look at it at all. Similar to followers on Twitter, so many new followers every day but majority of them are spam users, and people see it as unproductive to go through each new follower and decide if they are real or not. - Marko Saric

Robert: what Tim was saying is that if Dave Winer gets overwhelmed with the number of invitations, then he may be subscribed to too many people - Mike Chelen

I am in Michigan, I can't afford to ignore invites! Could be the Next Big Thing, ya know? - ZuDfunck
