So yeah, what is a Mahna, Mahna? #doanybodyno ~ and who cares is already taken.

In this "real-time" world where the half-life of most posts is about 30 min. We are losing the signal and drowning in the noise. This also incents people to constantly post to be in the conversation...Making the signal to noise problem even worse...

FF has 2 great ways of addressing the problem - best of day and bumping up popular posts. Twitter has none... it is insane to watch your twitter stream go by during the day. 95% of the posts are really not interesting/relevant
- Bindu Reddy
I'm tempted to make "best of" the default view somehow (perhaps with new stuff streaming in at that top). I'm afraid it would kill new stuff (and therefore itself) though.
- Paul Buchheit
What about doing something like Facebook... if the post gets enough "likes/comments" only than bump into the default view and have a link to the "live feed"
- Bindu Reddy
You know...I rarely go into my BOD page because I can tell exactly who is going to be in there. It is *always* the same 6 people everyday. BOM is even worse. And I don't see how post have a expiration date. I go back weeks, sometimes months for some people.
- Admiral Anika
Anika, interesting... Yes I see what you are saying about BOD having the same usual suspects. So technically the BOD does give you "quality" posts relevant to you. It gives you posts from people who have the most "engaged following".... I think the FB news feed has the same issue.
- Bindu Reddy
Therein lies the rub that wouldn''t make it "real time" anymore. Except, the real time web is a buzz word for suckers #doanybodyno? I'm on the same page with Anika, I'm looking for fresh content, though not up to THIS SECOND (twitter)
- sofarsoShawn
Problem is, if the "signal" posts aren't timed right, they don't get enough initial response to appear in Best Of Day.
- Bruce Lewis
Exactly. BOD often strikes me as the same people circle-jerking each other. If I want interesting content, I have a list for people who post interesting things and of course, stalking *their* friends. The posts may not have many comments, but to me that's a good thing. I often get a better quality-more engaged conversation with just another person. No snark-offs, IOW.
- Admiral Anika
& Bindu you make an awesome point, on those "who have the most engaged following"...? Scoble's called them a "cult-following"
- sofarsoShawn
I hardly visit BOD too. I go through it if I'm not signed on for a decent length of time in case I miss a birthday post or announcement ;) I like jumping in and out and sometimes look up certain people / lists. I'll miss a lot of peep's content who are active in other timezones.
- Rodfather
"cult-following" is a good name. In some cases it is also a band of people who comment on each other's posts bumping it up. My FB is something like that. I have set of friends who comment on my posts and they comment on mine... this bumps up my posts to others who don't really like it much
- Bindu Reddy
Better to have tags, filters. BOD reminds me too much of jr. high popularity contests (not bitching about people who regularly land there, I'm just saying that BOD is not necessarily a measurement of quality of content).
- Spidra Webster
I had lists on FF ... than I deleted all of them, simply cause I was finding it hard to click-through to lists and read.
- Bindu Reddy
Maybe you just need one list called "signal".
- Bruce Lewis
he he :)
- Bindu Reddy
I will visit the BOD page if I have not been on FF much during the day. That way I can find out what the important / popular topics if the day were. I really like the BOD feature.
- Jeff P. Henderson
I think Anika just outlined above what makes FF so great. You can follow who you want, and filter specific content. Lists, which FF has had for a while help this immensely You can create your own BOD by creating a list of interesting people, filtering out all posts that don't have, say 5 comments.
- Jeff P. Henderson
I subscribe to fewer people that are very active so it makes it easier.
- ashish
What you, in theory want, is a "Best of Day" tailored to you based on your interests. That's what my6sense is trying to do (on the iPhone for feeds), calling it "digital intuition". The more I use it, the better it gets.
- Louis Gray
It depends who you subscibe to. My BOD is very good.
- Paul Buchheit
from iPhone
catch that double-entendre? hé hé *smirks* my BOD's like soooo hawwwwt toooo, like phenomenal! But I wanna see Buchheat's!!!
- sofarsoShawn
Paul, I almost agree but I'd add "it depends who you subscribe to AND who's subscribed to them"…Obviously you'd know better than I, but to me it seems like BOD links became a collection of what the most popular (and not necessarily the most interesting) users were sharing. I wrote a brief bit more here: http://friendfeed.com/kaz...
- Adam Kazwell
In general if you are pretty selective about your subscriptions your feed is going to be good :))
- Bindu Reddy
[the default] BOD doesn't really interest me either, not as much as the regular feed lists I have.
- Andrew C
I disagree that the half life of posts is 30 minutes. They can live far longer here on FF.
- Roberto Bonini
from iPhone
Yes FF posts have a greater half life... I should have mentioned I was talking about twitter
- Bindu Reddy
Tweets -- snowflakes that melt before they hit the ground.
- Sean McBride
This is why I am such a big fan of Topsy, and now use it on a daily basis to discover big signals in the noise. Leading patterns of tweets in the aggregate can have a shelf life of weeks or months. We definitely need a Topsy-like front end for Friendfeed.
- Sean McBride
BOD is ideal for emails. People should get those emails maybe by default. As far as the default screen, maybe just two tabs at the top: Now and Best
- Christopher Galtenberg
I hold time order responsible. Every tool we use for reading seems to order by time rather than relevance: http://akkartik.name/blog...

- Roberto Bonini
They all suck (the free ones). The only one I've liked so far is Screenr, although it restricts to shorter screencasts, the client is very well written. http://screenr.com/
- Jorge Escobar
Screenr is web based. No downloadable client??
- Roberto Bonini
Microsoft's given us Community Clips; I've used it for some time. It's designed for creating + sharing how-to videos, but the sharing part is optional; you can just save the video file to the hard drive. http://communityclips.officelabs.com/downloa...
- Wade Dorrell
Ah, thanks wade. This is more like it.
- Roberto Bonini
Roberto, you can create the screencast and then download the video to your computer, or YouTube. As I said, it's more of a 'quick' solution, but very good at that.
- Jorge Escobar
Thanks Jorge. Must remember it :)
- Roberto Bonini
Community Clips seems to be exactly what I need. I just tested it. Love how it hide all the complexity of choosing formats and video sizes and encodings etc. Color capture while it was recording Adobe Bridge wasn't that great, but its to be expected. We'll see.
- Roberto Bonini
We use Jing here also.

Used Community Clips yesterday to grab my screen for an hour. Worked flawlessly.

Pay attention, kids. I'm gonna give you the greatest advice about this place that anyone is ever going to give you. If some chuckleheads here are making your experience less than satisfactory, then you've got three options: unsubscribe, block or walk away.

Because here's the thing: NO ONE, and I mean NOBODY, makes this place hell for me. I control my experience. You want to play nice with me? Then we'll get along fine. You want to throw shit on the wall and make my few moments of diversion a nightmare? Then you're gonna get run. And if there are too many of you clowns to deal with, then I'll treat you just like I treat video games that suddenly decide to start developing cheat codes on their own: flip the power switch to "off" and go do something else.
