What happens if you add a comment on a blog post (pre-FriendFeed signup) from the FriendFeed Comments plugin? - Shey, Jamaican of FF

we'll get there - everyone is finally starting to wrap their heads around what it all means (myself included) - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

I agree it does take some time to adjust and learn and understand what it's really all about. I just wanted to point out that the social media universe is only a drop in the ocean of people out there. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Even the creators of these plateforms don't know they'll be used, you can guess for one person, but not for crowds, that's why improving, tweaks, new features are - directeur

@directeur Not sure if you read the post or not, but I wasn't talking about the technology. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Shey is right-o. The Earth doesn't revolve solely around social media issues. - Mathew A. Koeneker

@Shey: I did just after I commented on melmcbride comment, actually :) and yes, you're right! We don't need evangelists anymore, I actually don't think we ever had the need for... Since IMO soicial Internet was way back before websites, since there was and still is a certain social-life on things like IRC, mailing lists, forums, newsgroups... - directeur

@directeur which is exactly why these meta conversations are so important. this stuff is going to work itself out one way or another - I would rather see a continuation of the kind of compressed intensely-focussed conversations we are seeing here than another process that would be much, much slower. The PC became what it is today because of Home Brew groups and other similar micro-think tanks of individuals passionate about something that they knew has a ridiculous amount of potential - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

I completely agree that we need more social media interpreters than evangelist. In my opinion an interpreter will be the one who will find out what service will be useful for the others and what is most important for them. The interpreter has to listen and never to forget that that what matters is the needs of the others. - Dimitar Denev

Great post, Shey. As fun as it is to talk shop with new media wonks, I also enjoy teaching my 3D laggard friends how to use facebook :) - Sarah Crisman

@Sarah Thanks, it's a lot of fun for me too, especially when they aren't too dizzy to get it :) - Shey, Jamaican of FF
