Re: Making Journalism Like the Special Edition DVD - http://www.seamuscondron.com/2009...
"Hi Mark, These are all valid points. I'm not saying that this will be an overnight sea change by any means. And the points about source protection and liability are definitely huge. But I think this can be done without sacrificing journalistic ethics. 100% transparency will likely never exist, and that's not a bad thing necessarily. Sources need to be protected. But I still believe that there is much data that can be offered up to the public to be scrutinized. At first we could start seeing these types of "notebooks" sometime after after the story, very much like the "bonus content" I referred to in the post. But I think eventually certain types of journalism will will become a collaborative, real-time effort between the journalist and the community, hyper local journalism especially. And that's where tools like Evernote could become invaluable."

Re: Tweeters Rip CNN for Its Coverage (or Lack Thereof) of Iran Post-Election Demonstrations - mediabistro.com: BayNewser - http://www.mediabistro.com/baynews...
"Excellent post. When cable news networks start looking like newspapers, you know we have real problems. CNN was on top as far as adoption of social media in their operations. Six months they were being called trailblazers by some for bridging the gap between traditional media and new media. But since them, namely after the election, they've gotten lazy. @cnnbrk was better when they had an outside running it. Their accounts since then such as @amfix have been pretty useless. Lately they're using Twitter as a vanity accessory and not a real reporting tool. Very disappointing."

Re: Twitter on a Pepsi Can: Entering Mainstream or Jumping the Shark? - http://mashable.com/2009...
"I think you're going to start seeing more big (and small) companies using their Twitter URL on advertising instead of a website. Think about what Skittles did. Sure, it was a mess, but it was the start of something. Then there was the pizza place in New Orleans, and now Pepsi. It's not jumping the shark, it's just the evolution of the relationship between brands and their customers."

The gun shot muffling "Kippe Kay Ye..." at the end was unforgivable. John McClane sans F bombs is bad. The unrated version is better, but cyber terrorism is a boring villian in any movie. Irony is this was just a Bruce Willis move, I'd probably have less of an issue with it. That being said, I'll all for another one if they return to their harder core roots, and McClane gets some Rogaine.

Re: Retweet is stupid (Scripting News) - http://www.scripting.com/stories...
"If our Twitter feed consisted solely of links to our website, it would be pretty useless, and a turn off. People don't want a marketing channel, they want value. We have expanded our audience by providing information people find useful. And they are grateful for that. The feed is a powerful extension of our website and has become part of our brand experience. An increasing number of people have discovered us via Twitter first."
- Seamus Condron
Re: Retweet is stupid (Scripting News) - http://www.scripting.com/stories...
"I disagree with this on a couple of levels. RT's help build your audience. On the feed I operate, @mediabistro, thousands of people have discovered us through Retweeting of our updates. Then there is the matter attribution and good will. Retweeting is like "paying it forward." Passing credit to the person that was responsible for you discovering information should be part of the RT (or "via" which has become popular also). Since our feed is largely focused on educating the followers on what's happening in their industry, the more people that information reaches, whether through Retweets or some other method, the better. Digging and Liking require less of an investment, at least from my perspective. I like to think Retweeting takes an extra second of thought along the lines "will this be valuable to at least a portion of my audience?"Obviously, there are scores of abusers, but in general I think the RT has an important purpose, as do Diggs and "likes.""

"Thanks, Joe. I see your point. Yes, I agree with you that there is a risk of Twitter becoming a crutch to some organizations. You hear this more and more lately, but it's absolutely true: there is no silver bullet. Twitter is an ingredient, not the stew.

Re: Poll: How Long Until Twitter "Novelty PR" Wears Off? - mediabistro.com: PRNewser - http://www.mediabistro.com/prnewse...
"Yes, Twitter is hot, but this about about the shift in the role of PR. They need to start being the facilitators of conversation, not the blasters of mind numbing press releases and bullet pointed memos. The NYT has five Twitter stories per week now because A. The service is getting increasingly mainstream. B. Unlike the blogosphere, there is no uniform strategy when covering social media there. You'll read one NYT piece that's tolerable, then there is another one that's a god awful mess and makes them look foolish (Dowd). Each day there is another fairly uninformed writer who gives in and writes their "Twitter piece." The Times writers may be treating it as a novelty, but Pizza Hut is doing a smart thing- they are going to take someone who is knowledgeable about social media (a digital native) and place them among people who know business. Those types of relationships need to happen a lot more. This week I got a great quote from someone who works in strategic communications. "Old..."

Please, I don't want your automated DMs after I follow you. This practice needs to stop. I never click your links, it's just spam.

I don't understand why @twitter doesn't give the option of disabling DM's completely
- Keith - @tsudo
I wouldn't disable my DM, because I do get some that are legit. I think this is going to be a social persuasion. Maybe we need some folks to start a new convention of unfollowing those who send out these automated DMs. Unfollowing is the worst fear of these automated DM types.
- Hutch Carpenter
Twitter should allow users to opt out of DMs altogether. I tend to unfollows accounts that send auto-DMs, it immediately diminishes their value to me. Too impersonal -- not what I use Twitter for. I know where your website I'd but I'd prefer to receive your updates via Twitter. Imagine if every RSS feed began with a form letter pitch...
- Andy Sternberg
from fftogo
Good analogy on the blog RSS feed subscriptions. And if I've taken the time to look at your tweets and the link on your bio, you don't need to send me anything else. Just keep on tweetin'.
- Hutch Carpenter
I don't know why this pisses people off so much. The furor over the DMs to me is more annoying than the DMs themselves. I just don't like the boring pseudo-sincere "let me know how I can help you" ones. I use one and dig it.
- Steve Isaacs
Spams are everywhere! XD
- Midori
It's annoying in the way spam email is annoying. My Gmail spam filter saves me from dealing with the spam deluge, but does nothing for these spam DMs.
- Hutch Carpenter
First off, that SocialToo is crap.
- ld
i think if your twitter account is a business, it's a perfect opportunity to link a new follower to something useful to them
- Nathan Chase
LD - SocialToo lets you auto DM? I just use it for stats, not that.
- Hutch Carpenter
Nathan - I agree that a link to something useful is fine. Say I tweet about something, and you have a link that is relevant. @ or DM me. But how do you know what's relevant with an automated DM after following?
- Hutch Carpenter
If you have one of the "let me know how..." ones, I will let you know, and if you ignore my @, I'm just going to drop you. To use auto-dm to begin convo = not bad, but to not continue convo = fail
- Michelle Darnell
@Hutch - for instance, if you follow Flickchart (my startup) on Twitter, it auto-follows and responds with. "Thanks for checking us out! Be sure to sign up for our beta to get your invite soon! - http://www.flickchart.com" - does that seem annoying or misplaced?
- Nathan Chase
Agreed. Twitter should review this. It's becoming an epidemic. It diminishes my impression of someone immediately.
- Seamus Condron
There is a use for it in places, but the issue is like anything else once spammers get ahold of something it destroys it for everyone. I wouldn't opt to disable DMs because I sometimes reply by DM if I get behind in getting back to people so I don't flood timeline with chatter
- BCK
Nathan - that seems OK. I mean, I'm following a company (Flickchart), so I'd be interested in getting a beta. But there are a lot of marketing types and life coaches who fire these things off. Often after they've followed me and I follow back. Wasn't expecting to get spammed in that transaction.
- Hutch Carpenter
I actually don't need DMs at all. If someone wants to contact me privately they can follow the link to my website and contact me through it. It seems that it would be very easy for Twitter to add a "Disable DMs feature."
- Keith - @tsudo
SocialToo can help you block many automatic DMs. http://www.socialtoo.com
- Louis Gray
Louis: You mean if I join SocialToo I can tell it to not send me auto DMs from other SocialToo users, or is there something more sophisticated?
- Ken Sheppardson
I use an auto DM to send silly phrases to people when they follow me. It's the "let's tweet soon" ones that grate my cheese.
- Jon, the Beartato of FF
Ken, it will block DMs from SocialToo users and TweetLater users, for starters.
- Louis Gray
What is the biggest complaint about DM's? Is it the links? Number of DM's you get a day? I use an automated DM to aid in being cordial. I got the following DM this morning and thought it was a good one, "Checked out your profile and you are an amazing person! Keep it up!"
- Damond Nollan
I had Auto DM's setup as a way of saying Thanks for following ...Ive heard at Podcamp Toronto that many people dont like them .. so OFF they go ... no MORE Auto DM's
- johnpiercy
I didn't even know you could setup auto-DMs...awww and here I was so happy everytime someone wrote to me ;)
- Dennis Bjørn Petersen
from twhirl
I can't stand those who send a DM to invite me to become "friends" on Facebook, I've only known of your existence for a whole minute and are we supposed to be "friends"? Mind you, I received a message from someone on Diigo who is looking for a husband and I thought it was a social bookmarking site.
- M F
What if it's just a simple "thanks for following me" message and not a link or sales pitch?
- Mattb4rd
@Matt, I hate those "thanks for following me" messages just as much as the automatic sales pitches. If someone wants to "thank" me for following them, then follow me back. Or, if that person followed me first, there's no need to do anything.
- Joey Gibson
SocialToo is awesome. Also, I've learned to ignore spam DMs the same way I can ignore spam emails. With that said SocialToo makes it easy to reduce the number of them greatly.

Huffington Post's Twitter feed is suddenly less robotic, but not sure randomly re-purposing quotes from other Tweeples is that compelling.
They are grabbing tweets from others and rebroadcasting them. They started doing it with the @mediabistro stuff too. One might call this retweeting, but that usually constitutes something such as link. They are rebroadcasting one half of a conversation. I don't really get it. If it's something provocative, or a linked item worth spreading, that's fine. But the fact that I'm following most of the people they're rebroadcasting, I've essentially getting double tweets. Kind of annoying. But if people like it, all the power to them. Maybe they should sign up for Qwitter though :-)

Twitter the next big wave in viral marketing for TV, movies?
Eula, Roney Smith, Atherton Bartelby and Mediabistro liked this
A follower tweeted about @bartlet, the fictional prez from The West Wing, now being on Twitter. We've all seen @darthvader and others from The Office. Are any of them part of actual marketing strategies of the networks? They should be. By giving favorite characters of sitcoms, movies, etc, feeds, could Twitter be the next frontier for viral marketing? It could be a fascinating experiment. Thoughts?
- Seamus Condron
I think that companies are doing themselves a HUGE disservice if they do not jump on the proverbial bandwagon and begin using Twitter (and its users) to their advantage. The use of Twitter to generate interest, free advertising and PR, and revenue is a huge opportunity, and I question whether most corporations actually yet know this. But they should know it, and ensure that they are positioning themselves to be among the first companies to begin taking advantage of Twitter in this way.
- Atherton Bartelby
Completely agree. I think Twitter is at the point where a dedicated summit is warranted to show industries how they can leverage it. You're right when you say most really have no idea how diverse its uses are. I know it's been discussed in smaller settings, but it deserves a huge coming out party.
- Seamus Condron
I agree with you regarding the "coming out party" scale of how corporations and industries need to be educated about how to use Twitter in this manner. There are already numerous primers, blog posts, etc., teaching corporations how to have a corporate presence on Twitter, which is great, but I haven't seen anything yet that goes into greater detail about how corporations can use the viral marketing potential of Twitter to greater advantage (e.g., the whole "Mad Men" Twittering phenom, etc.).

I'm sure it's a lovely list for those who wish to focus on tech. With that said, I opt to not check it as I'm certain I'm not on it, and I see more tech in FF than I know what to do with already: Robert's Likes take care of that =)

I don't make the list? Aww. I think I am at least as technical (on my blog as well as FF) as a lot of the folks on your list.
- Phil G
I talk about tech that all of you guys are afraid to touch - chiefly an understanding of MS server products and the destruction of the net through the use of DPI (limiting bandwidth or even access to specific sites/applications across the net) and the abuse of DPI (phorm and their ad peddling scum).. do I qualify?
- alphaxion
It's funny since I joined FF I've found that there's so much more to talk about than tech! You might not know it from what I post on here but I am a super tech-head geek.
- Her Lindsay-ness
How in the hell does one even become 'techie' on FriendFeed without just aggravating the echo chamber? When I first came on here, I wanted to post techy stuff. Even got myself a blog on Profy before Profy became Profy but I found myself always nine steps behind everyone else. Seemed like a dead-end rat race to me so I went with just being adorably obnoxious instead.
- Akiva Moskovitz

I don't see it as a religious war.. especially since I'm OS agnostic.

If someone genuinely does something good I'll agree, but I also refuse to fall for the "it's cool to bash MS just cause" camp and will acknowledge when they have done something right.

Hey Scoble. Yea, I'd like to be considered, of course. I'm a little late to the party, but hey... I'm here. Cheers.

You list people who work on Twitter songs or Twitter clients but no one working on Twitter itself. I know you at least like evhead.
- Niall Kennedy
Oh, and you left Niall of the list. : )
- DeWitt Clinton
i see slashdot but not MAKE magazine? what's up with that!
- make
I think I added all the deserving people who left notes on here. Keep them coming!
- Robert Scoble
Thanks for adding me, proving (yet again) that IT failures are sexy and enterprise software is cool. Yeah, right :)
- Michael Krigsman
Great list, Robert! Thanks!
- Apostolos Papadopoulos
Don't forget Sarah Perez and David Risley

ah, i'd been traveling and wondered where a rash of new subscribers had come from - scoble effect in action, thanks robert :)

This list made me feel incredibly out of touch... of course I AM out of touch, but I don't like to feel that way. (but good list anyway thanks...)
- Trey Ratcliff
follow lots of those, but no me :( I blame scoble!
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Thanks for putting me on the list - can't believe that I actually made it on there!
- Charlene Li
I really hate these lists... mostly because there's obviously way more than 100 people that are worth following - or we'd all have following lists of 100 or lest. Partially because the first thing we all do is look to see if we're on the list - if so, we breathe a sigh of relief, then worry about 'living up to being interesting', if not, we wonder why not and get sort of hurt and offended (I know I'm in good company, my twitterstream tells me so.)
- Lucretia Pruitt
On the same level tho - they clearly create traffic and conversation - this thread is huge, people on your list are seeing bumps in their follows, and the comments are still coming in on your blog. So they obviously generate something. Unfortunately, some of us walk away feeling like we must be "failing" somehow - and that's such a crappy feeling. I know that I don't use FF sufficiently to make any list like this - but have to wonder about other folks who didn't make the cut. :\
- Lucretia Pruitt
Robert, I would add Jemima Kiss from UK's The Guardian to your list. http://friendfeed.com/jemimak... I enjoy her points of view from the other side of the pond.
- Julio F ~ @SocialJulio
Thanks for the inclusion. My gripe is that there are still only FriendFeed "name claimers" on this list. I know that a few people on it don't use FF at all. And you don't know what blogs I write for, Robert? ;)
- Tamar Weinberg
tamar: ff started as a presence aggregator and it still does a fantastic job of that even for the "name claimers" you dislike - i don't think its a requirement for everyone to be liking and commenting up a storm on ff to bring value to a feed especially if they bring a lot of signal via their included services alone :)

Robert- Crazy girl who ran after you at BWE08....gave you my trading card for http://www.MyTechOpinion.com. I use my super powers for the positive advancement of real estate technology and social media! -Nicole Nicolay "NikNik" @nik_nik

Nice list, I also started listing Finnish users of FriendFeed last week: http://autiomaa.org/2008...
- Daniel Schildt
@Robert: Nice list—just want to mention that Sanjeev is also a FriendFeed founder as well as a developer.
- Jim Norris
This most have cost some time to do, its hard enough to click on each one and subscribe to them. And it's exactly the kind of action that could lead to more people flocking to FriendFeed. Nice work, but I sometimes wonder whether these services pay you (don't worry, I already know the answer's no).
- Vincent van Wylick
I guess getting all those member interviews doesn't count for much ;-)
- Andrew Feinberg
one thing that is interesting about this or the criteria used, is that what does "interaction on FF" mean? What if someone is creating a ton of interesting content on flickr or podcasting? I am stoked to see the people on this list on it. Many are friends, and most I respect (there is that @technosailor dude). Lists are inherently flawed, the contribution of the people included here are not.
- Micah Baldwin
I'm honored and astonished to have made this list... thanks Robert
- Brian Shields
thanks for having me in this list, even though with the recession I am not sure anybody should spend too much time worrying about that... thanks Robert anyway!
