This whole thing has gotten out of hand. I think Mike is the only one complaining about this. His concern is valid but I hope FriendFeed is careful not to add features to appease only him.

I don't have a problem with this. If you want to start a conversation around a Techcrunch blog post (for example), you can just share into Friendfeed yourself with any other service. This just gives you more control over your own feed, which I think is a good thing.

"Interestingly, Bret said that the conversations on those accounts that had either a small amount of followers or a large amount were of the lowest quality." - wow, slam!
- anna
I (one of the lowly low follower people) think that people who have the mic, like Arrington, are not as deft at wielding it, as Scoble. So it's tough for him to manage the mob, same with @technosailor. Those that can handle the mob, find no issue with it.

Not sure what Bret's going to do- sounds vaguely like posters can stop comments- but not sure if it would stem the tide.

They brought in the addictive parts of Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing.
- Rodfather
I loooooooooooooooooooooooooove Animal Crossing. LOVE.
- Mona Nomura
I loved Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon on the game platforms but not when I got one for my Nintendo DS, became too tedious. For me its Viva Pinata. Though you can't beat Animal Crossing for funny conversations with computers.

I quickly got bored with Sims 3... but I don't think I gave it enough time yet.

I didn't say I wanted to get laid, Mo. I'm going on five months without "woo hoo," I think I can make it through five more. Anywhere beyond that, and I might actually spontaneously combust.

Yeah, well... if nothing else, I'm gonna be making a whole buncha new female friends. :) Might even have to dutch so they don't feel pressured to "make dessert." If ya know what I mean. *wink wink, nudge nudge*

You guys, all my plants are perfect and I've caught every fish! I'm just waiting for the opportunity to plant cheese, meat, and the omni plant!! WOOHOO (which btw, my Sim did hehehe)
- Mona Nomura
For a second there, I thought you were as drunk as me. Proffer? WTF, except, it's in the dictionary. You're in the clear. THIS TIME.

I should buy it. The reviews say it's awesome.

I may have to grab full version just for fishing
- Rodfather
The fishing is SOOOOO fun. The best part is, gardening and fishing go hand in hand. Wait - let me back up. The fish caught and plants grown are all various levels. The more 'perfect' quality plants I use as bait, there's a higher probability of catching 'perfect' fish, which I can use to fertilize plants OR sell for Simoleans. Also, it ties into cooking i.e. cooking with the organic ingredients and fish. Oh man I sound so nerdy.
- Mona Nomura
I only fish/garden on iPhone sims. It makes so much more money than a real job.
- Clark the Kittensquisher
The iPhone app actually blew me away and the reason I got Sims for the PC :)
- Mona Nomura
I know. I finally settled down with a wife and a husband at the same time who were formally married to each other. The game has no rules!
