FriendFeed's Not Dead. While Not Clear, Its Future Could Be Very Big. - louisgray.com - http://www.louisgray.com/live...

"Monday's news that Facebook had acquired FriendFeed for an undisclosed sum took many people by surprise, not the least of whom were the site's most-active users, many of whom have made the social sharing and aggregation platform their central nervous system for online activity and community. Initial reactions to the announcement had many people asking questions, extremely concerned that the site - as we know it - was doomed to close, and a lack of immediate denials from the company's leadership was seen by many as an implicit acceptance that yes, the end was near. But in the days following, from what I've seen and heard, it is clear to me that FriendFeed is not going away, that the company's being part of Facebook isn't the end of the world, and that after nearly two years of going it alone, the time had come to make a change."

The value of the phrase "social media" is totally burned by thousands of idiots on twitter. I'd remove all traces of that.

Nadia, why are we "not there yet" as far as putting your Twitter/FB on business cards? It's a logical thing to do now, I think, when you're going to make business cards for yourself
- Andre P. Siregar
I bet he gets the "what does the mag stripe do" question every time he hands out his business card
- Andre P. Siregar
Note that hotel keycards are encoded at the front desk, so in theory you could get a clerk to encode your unlock code on your own key, but off the bat I can't think of anything you could put on the stripe that the average person would find utility in that wouldn't be a bad idea (like a credit card or drivers license data)

Love all the comments about my card here! Here are some more details for those of you who might care: What you see in the picture is actually the back of the card. The front of the card has our company logo (Room 214 is the name of the company) and is almost entirely green. The card is as thick as a room key card, as you might guess.

He often gets confused with MG Siegler, the TechCrunch writer, because of his Twitter name, but Matt Galligan started SocialThing (competitor of FriendFeed that recently sold to AOL). Now he is starting http://crashcorp.com which is building a real-time presence engine.

Interesting. Was unaware of MG before. Thanks for enlightening me.
- David Damore
Question: What is a "real-time presence engine"?
- David Damore
I'm one of the ones getting him confused. Only by name, though. Matt's the one with the socialthing, tattoo...here in Austin, I believe. Maybe. Btw, did he get that before or after he sold?
- Lise
@David wish there was an easy way to be more clear, but we'll be filling a need for people trying to do location based apps. You'll see more from us later this year. @Lise yup, that's me. I told myself that if we ever got acquired I would get a tattoo of our mascot, so it was after...

And I follow you on twitter but for some reason don't here, which is weird since I followed every twitter person I follow that FF found. But you don't have your @MG twitter name associated with FF.

The only way to know if your Twitter/Social Media approach is working or not is by looking to see if it is accomplishing your goals. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach in a dynamic growing space. This Right/Wrong game is tiring at best.

Arleen: the thing is I was looking at that screen less and less. Now I look at it a lot. Well, except for today cause Twitter has been mostly down.
- Robert Scoble
I find that alot of people are a bit... selfish in social media. I follow people I find interesting. They don't need to follow me back. Maybe they don't think what I post is interesting even if I find theirs to be. We got to cut down on our ego tripping sometimes and let people enjoy the social tools, the way they enjoy em. I bet ya, there are not two people out there, that use all of this in exactly the same way, and that is great.
- Rasmus Lauridsen
Steve: that's absolutely not true. Sit next to me sometime. I can follow many thousands of people.

Your comments make the conclusion that everyone that disagrees with you is a social media expert, spammer, or non-techie. Are you sure you are not a politician in disguise? LOL Putting people in groups on Friendfeed did not require a massive un-following on twitter I know what you are doing. I like FreindFeed. I would not like twitter near as much if FriendFeed was not there. I am grateful for FriendFeed and it champion. Cheers for Robert

Sorry Scobe, but you innovate, care deeply about all of this, and are fun to read. You don't even budge my Lame-O-Meter. (As for lame, well, AP is the King aren't they. And Reuters just told them to stop whining. Heh.)
- Bob Morris (polizeros)
Seems funny to me that everybody is still talking about this issue. What's the difference between this and telling people what you're having for lunch? Twitter is chatter but from time to time, a clear interesting idea comes through and sparks a reaction. Reminds me of the thought process in my own brain... tons of ideas, lots of chatter and some gems. Meditation helps me quiet my mind... perhaps unfollowing does the same. In any case, less chatter is always better.
- Yanik Falardeau
RetiredTeacher: heheh. But, sorry, the main reason I did the unfollow isn't the home feed, but DM's. They just became more and more filled with spam and useless stuff. Getting my home feed back is like icing on a cake.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert, There's no right or wrong answer to social media usage. Only you can decide your goals and if you're successful in achieving those goals, that's all there is to it. You're anything but clueless, not that you need me to tell you that :)
- MiaD
I was a big critic of your Swisher/Mossberg article as I think you are misguided about where in the social chain FF falls-- HOWEVER... although I had a FF account for awhile doesnt mean I 'tried' it. In light of the non conversational approach twitter is taking ( @replies) and the fact its getting spammy and many people are talking AT me not WITH me I concede. I don't agree with some of your tactics or selling points but I do agree FF IS ABSOLUTELY on to something in a big way.

Let's assume for a moment that you are, indeed, clueless. Since you follow the same methodologies as most other "social media experts", then they, themselves, are clueless, as well. Since most "experts" (like yourself, Pirillo, and Conn) are generally smart people, then all clueless people are geniuses. Therefor, you are a genius and are, beyond a shadow of a doubt, not clueless.

Twitter is the one doing it wrong. They should just read our minds and learn what information we need and publish it to our home page. No need to follow anyone in that case.

Thanks Robert! It just occurred to me one alternative to domain squatting is embarrassing Avatar adoption. Your $20-at-a-time strategy is more credible than most monetization schemes (scams?)
- Richard ¿digame? Walker
It would seem to me you did it "right" as it brought a strategic challenge to light. It's been the source of some great posts and conversation. It's not as though things are unsalvagable even if you made a miscalculation. As a strategist I don't think there is a generic right or wrong way. You have to align your social media activity to meet your goals. If your approach on Twitter wasn't working to meet your goals then you did the right thing.
- Jim Goldstein
There is no wrong way to use a resource that is infinitely customizable. Well, perhaps there are illegal or immoral ways, and thus "wrong." But not the case here.
- Justin Long
I've seen everywhere (it seems) that social media is all about the user's experience, that they should determine what's best for themselves. Yet, I constantly see posts and threads about how to do it right. I don't care what Robert is doing, because he has other reasons for using it than I do, and on down the line. Too much of social media "time" is spent discussing social media.

Robert, "right" or "wrong" is immaterial here. Each user gets something different out of their use of social media. So each user constantly adjusts their social media experience to fit what they want to receive. Your mass unfollowing is not wrong. Your user paradigm changed.
- Jack Wilson, K4SAC
Not clueless. You're simply learning more-and-more about web 2.0 and social media as you go. Trying different approaches. Ultimately it's your #Twitter account and you can do with it as you please.
- Eric D. Wilson
Robert: My heart was in the right place too when I followed back my first porn tweet follow from an email notification - I honestly didn't realise at the time ;-) Boy did that open up the flood gates! My main advice on twitter now is to stay away from any girl with three numbers as her surname :D I can only imagine the spam you got from auto-following to 106,000 follows. Each day we get older and wiser :)
- 1x29
Robert: can you write a blog post about how you setup your groups in friendfeed? I this it would make for an interesting read.
- Bryan Lee
When you were using auto-follow, it made the most sense to do so. Twitter changed, you examined what was working and what wasn't working, and made some adjustments. You are still doing it right. You also invested your time in FriendFeed pretty early on. That was also a good decision. (That will be $25, thank you.)
- Mark Davidson
from BuddyFeed
I'm no expert and I don't care how you handle your tweeples... I'm just curious how you were able to avoid being suspended for mass unfollowing. My account was suspended after I cleared out 20 or so folks I didn't want to follow any longer. It's against their latest TOS to mass unfollow or follow. Your celebrity in the tech world probably gets you the free pass on the TOS violation, yeah?
- tinym dot com
I'm not of that mindset, if all adopted that mindset and only followed very close knowns what would you have? A phone call
- JuneM
Tinym: He used one of the premium services on SocialToo.com You have the ability to either Unfollow everyone that isn't following you back or you can unfollow everyone.
- Bryan Lee
Thanks Bryan. I used a third party service to unfollow too - I still got suspended. I guess my third party service wasn't as good as SocialToo...
- tinym dot com
i dont really understand their argument...i had to mass unfollow some people as well, as I was getting spam and it was clogging up the stream.
- Crackle
I just joined FF today due to a few factors: 1) Twitter went down and a light bulb went off 2) I've been following you for quite awhile and you're not lame nor do I think you're doing it wrong and 3) I finally acted upon all the advice you've shared about FF. If you follow me back, fine. At any rate, I'm following you here. I do like the threaded message form, which trumps any Twitter app. I'm also looking for value, not noise.
- MR
It just signified your preference to communicate with high numbers on FriendFeed where everyone can be organized, searched and found- it is thus more meaningful. On Twitter it was chaos for you that way and everyone lost. Why lie?

LOL. Just a theological point: God's following everyone (or not) is not a theological explanation for why bad things happen to good people. But I'm guessing you're speaking tongue-in-cheek?
- Justin Long
Change is natural. It's part of innovation. We adjust to new tools and technologies as they evolve, and because our methods of using them change, the tools evolve. Sometimes they (or us) take even a bigger leap and revolutionize. Then we get the next big thing, or take the next significant step in history. It's far better that you adapted, Robert, based on your findings, needs and experiences, than continued on with previous use patterns.

Mark: I've learned never to pitch when someone else is down, it just brings bad karma your way. I'd rather win business on service, APIs, flexibility, overall quality, etc, not on whether you're pissed off because your host is currently down. EVERY host will go down, and if you aren't planning on that you aren't making good architectural and business decisions.

Getting your MBA is like getting handed the keys to the car and not knowing how to drive. In a field like sports marketing where there is little precedent to be studied, you will do most of your learning out in the work place. Good luck, and if all else fails, just talk about Brett Favre some more.

Robert, my system is if they aren't in my phone book I let them leave a message. If they're some one I want to talk to later I add them to my phone book after they leave a message and call them back. Technically, I could probably get Google Voice to do this for me - I should set that up.
