What I've learned by creating my "TechNews" list, which includes 154 hand-picked people who regularly have high signal.

1. People who ONLY Twitter have a high propensity for much more noise than signal. Those who are best? Those who post to a lot of different services, and who blog often.
- Robert Scoble
2. People who change their avatar from the default are more likely to have signal than those who don't.
- Robert Scoble
Is this more of a "early-adopter" feed?
- Kyle Lacy
3. Past results are best predictors of future results. As I look through my list of people who have fed a lot of "signal" into the system, like Tim O'Reilly, they have done a lot more signal in past week than most people in my list of about 3,300 people I'm following.
- Robert Scoble
4. Those who use graphics in their FF posts are far more likely to have signal than others.
- Robert Scoble
If you publish it, we can call it the S-list :)
- Charlie Anzman

- MikeAmundsen
5. My list is very male heavy, and I went looking for women who feed good tech news to their friends. Looking to balance that out, will watch over next week to see if I can find anyone on the "Everyone" feed.
- Robert Scoble
6. That would be super.
- jeneane sessum
6. This hand-picked list is WAY better than the feed from the 3,300 people I subscribe to. MUCH lower noise (for me) and much better stuff, and easier to find the good stuff (again, in my opinion). I don't like cat photos and there are a LOT fewer cat photos on this feed.
- Robert Scoble
I guess one persons noise is another persons signal though.
- Ian May
jinx.
- jeneane sessum
7. This feed does NOT match what is "popular" on FriendFeed right now. Very little politics. Very few "goofy posts." No Bacon. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Kyle: I don't see it as an early adopter feed, more of people who talk mostly about tech. But, yeah, I'd guess that it is very heavy on early adopter types. You can see what I like here: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei...
- Robert Scoble
Ian, that is absolutely true. My brother thinks my list is boring. I'd guess that Mona won't "Like" a whole lot of stuff on my list.
- Robert Scoble
Ahh no bacon? Thanks for the clarification, Robert.
- Kyle Lacy
I didn't say that your list is boring. I just said that a lot of the noise is fun. That doesn't mean that tech stuff (as long as it's not a lot of blah blah blah on blogging, web 2.0 and social media) isn't interesting. Personally, I'd like to see a home theater list, but that's just me.
- Alex Scoble
Robert - I don't 'like' stuff that is echoed since I only need to read headlines / news once. ;)
- Mona Nomura
I'd probably post more tech-oriented stuff because I'm very tech-oriented but it requires a lot of work 'keeping up with the Joneses' trying to out-scoop people who are far more well-connected than I or trying to shout my useless opinion louder than the next 'tech blogger'. So I try to have fun on FriendFeed in other ways. I do see, though, that FriendFeed has changed significantly since the old days when it was almost all tech-oriented. Now it's bacon, pirates, mangoes, and a variety of memes.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Not that there's anything wrong with that!
- Akiva Moskovitz
I made an effort to cut down on my 'echoes' soon after I joined FF. It bugged me to see stuff appearing multiple times, so I know it must have everyone else. I don't feed feed Twitter or Tumblr into here now.
- Ian May
Couldn't you just have not subscribed to 3300 people to begin with? Seems rather silly now that you're culling it back to people you actually want to listen to.
- Jason Carreira
+42 Jason.
- abacab
Jason: I am NOT cutting back. I still like my main feed, but for other stuff, like tonight I'm following the emmys there. But it's now very noisy because that's how things go. Plus, I never would have known who to put in my special list if I hadn't followed so many to start out with.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, in an era in which online conversation is becoming so vital, you are playing such an interesting role, helping us to see what's possible.
- John McCrea

Friendfeed needs to be smart enough to figure out which posts from which users are most relevant for each user.
- Sean McBride
Agree with Sean. Also, Robert is right: one has to have high statistical sample - big numbers of followings - to get a better tailored smaller sample! I like to have cats and bacon but my interests are further including tech, business (a lot of my posts) and politics (not that many but still).
- Hayk H.
Looking forward to seeing the list, Robert. I try to filter through the news and feed specific news to my friends. Since I blog about LA tech, I try to filter through the major blogs and feed LA news through Twitter. It would be cool if more people were doing that for other regions.

"There has been much talk of Twitter users moving over to FriendFeed since Twitter replies were down for the majority of last week. Twitter announced that they were back on Saturday in their blog, but seeing as the outage may have inspired some users to flock to FriendFeed, I decided to take a look at the 3rd-party applications and scripts that enhance the FriendFeed functionality. For those of you moving on to FriendFeed’s greener pastures, here are 13 essential tools for an organized, “noise”-free experience."

Directeur: Have you check you inbox for all your new followers lately?

Congrats on all the great press!

@Russellreno : ouch! It's full! I'm subscribing to many of them, maybe I'm skipping some but I'll definitely see that again :)

Thanks Patrick! Actually without the great feedback from you folks that wouldn't happen... The first 20 minutes of the launch were really HOT :)

D: BTW there is a GM script that will help you subscribe. Google "Better Friendfeed Subscribe to me". After you load it you go into your "People who scribe to me" tab. It adds a superscribe button.

FriendFeed, Twitter, Seesmic et al, are pointing in the direction of something. They aren't the destination.

I'm sure it will keep evolving. The Web in a few years will look very different.

it takes a real smart brain to attain such a simple, yet true, conclusion. Hats off, sincerly!
- directeur
from NoiseRiver
We're crossing the swamp, hopping from platform to platform as they're built one hop ahead of us.
- Ken Sheppardson
I said "look very different"...the Web will sound and be experienced as very different in the future, involving all the senses and lots of interactivity.
- Cathryn Hrudicka
BTW, I'd add TechCrunch and TechMeme to that list as well.
- Dave Winer
Something needs to be the destination. That destination may change. Today it's FF for me. Tomorrow it could be something else.
- Steve Rubel
Are these Web 2.0 services instead pointing to the need for some future database, searchable, filterable, where we'll all go for info?
- Mark Dykeman
Well put. I'm wondering if FriendFeed will one day crawl the sites we share and flip a twist on search.
- Dan Kaplan
I think where our ideas live and co-mingle will get much richer. The shared space will wander in and out of different worlds much more easily. We've got Level 1 integration, made possible by first generation APIs. It's nice the way FF and Pownce handle Flickr for example. Nice the way FF understands YouTube. Just knowing that you can do more if you know more about the data is a big step. Twitter is unwilling to take that step. These other guys are willing to tiptoe up to and over the line. Lots more to do.
- Dave Winer
Ok I like Rubel's comment here a lot!!! Something needs to be the destination. How do we stop continuing to be dissatified with one app.. and at the same time continue to attack innovation??? Thats a bitch but damn I cant keep up with which kickass social app I am suppossed to using.
- Cody Heitschmidt
FF et al + us == awakening the internet.

BTW, I doubt seriously whether Rex Hammock is even aware of this discussion. This is not a minor flaw.

Flaw with Rex Hammock or FriendFeed?
- Internet's Tad
@Cody, I'm just an everyday joeuser, but it's all good to me. I'm continually amazed at all of this. This from a guy who remembers B&W TV!
- Larry Huffman
Im sticking with the decentralization argument. I want to host my own Twitter/friend-feed, just like I do with Wordpress, MoveType. I want my own MYSQL database to control my own data, my own security, just like everything. This is where its all evolving, I think. Currently, the transmission is backwards. And no one gets any linkcred for anything.
- Andrew Baron
@Andrew, agreed. I want enterprise Twitter in lieu of pagers. On a team of 15 production engineers, that would be a big help towards endless reply-all emails.
- Larry Huffman
@Andrew you're on to something here. Web 2.0 2001-2006 we all built equity exclusively on our personal sites (mostly blogs). However around 06 something switched - we built equity on YouTube, Facebook, then Twitter and now Friendfeed. It might go full circle as people get fed up doing so.
- Steve Rubel
We're redefining (1) communities (2) friends-acquaintances (3) in-group out-group. In the wake of all the loneliness in the US nuclear-family-model, this is probably something people are crying out for... In the early days of public Internet 1991-1995, one very active group I followed was parents raising gifted kids. It was so hard for them to find a support-community.
- Mitchell Tsai
That's probably quite true, but then again, half the fun is the journey, right? :)
- Sawyer
Is there a destination? I hope not. Our tools change us even as we change them.
- Craig Thomler
Not a flaw with either Rex or FF.
- Dave Winer
Decentralization fixes #1: who owns the data (we own our own data), #2 scale issues Twitter is having - balanced load - P2P, #3 it protects the web from not being neutral - e.g. makes it more difficult for Verizon to allow ltd. access - #4 distributes server costs so its cheaper, #5 give developers and services more control over all.
- Andrew Baron
Verner Vinge's Rainbow's End provided a good description of where things might be heading. http://tinyurl.com/67nzgm
- Brad Collins
My feeling is it's not (just) the content, the real value is in your social graph - plus obviously the possibility to expand it; we're getting to a point where the specific service you're publishing on is becoming of secondary importance, while the real benefits lie in this cross-pollination of services. Facebook tried that by being - in a sense - a social OS with its apps, but in fact a 2.0 app can never be the OS. Internet can.
- dario
totally with Andrew. Someone talked about "information siloses" referring to 2.0 services - open APIs are taps to those siloses, but you don't own them, you can't control them, yet you host your lifestream on them. What if you *were* the owner of the silo?
- dario
@andrewbaron Personal portable version of what Tom Watson has done with http://tincorporated.com would be great, its an integrated lifestream with control over his assets, but still open to the web through those services APIs
- Roger Penguino
from fftogo
Andrew and Steve have good points. The initial Web 2.0 enabled self-publishing/ user generated content, but community was largely manual (via RSS readers, cross-linking, etc). The soc net revolution enabled mainstream community, but does not give us ownership. If we do go full circle -- and WordPress would be awesome for this btw -- we can self-publish, with community... and I think that's where Google Connect is going.
- Allen Fuller
@davewiner - I'm aware of the discussion. I think it's amazing and even love the part where people are suggesting I'm clueless.
