So howcome we don’t hear about citizen doctors, citizen lawyers, citizen architects…

Well, you could make the argument the we do self-medicine and "citizen" medicine all the time. We are constantly offering each other advice on our aches and pains, comparing our Lipitor dosages, telling people to take their Airborne before a long trick. Heck even a prescription for chicken soup might be considered citizen medicine. (SMILE) - Douglas E. Welch via twhirl

I just signed up with Disqus. It reminds me of a reverse CoComment. Is that site even around anymore? It was the shiz when it came out... lost track. - Lindsay Donaghe

I think Chris Miller of the Social Networker uses CoComment. Never really heard of it before seeing it on his site. - Corvida

How do we get people to stay? How do we keep people blogging? That's the problem I want to solve. - Ginger Makela

So far my clique has remained intact. There are only a handful of bloggers I've connected with, mostly because my blog doesn't really fall into any specific niche. It's just what I feel like writing about that day, or mostly what I feel like sharing with whoever passes by. - Michael Beck

I'm not sure why FF couldn't completely replace Twitter. Any reason except for the established userbase of Twitter? - Vince DeGeorge

Vince - I think FF is too non linear and chaotic for most people to follow. Heck, I've used it to aggregate my content, but I haven't really gotten to following it. Twitter, on the other had, is much more simple. And linear. So people with small finite brains like mine find it easier. Not saying it doesn't have it's limitations - it does - but it's easier for me. my guess is there are lots of folks who feel similarly. - adam christensen

Yup, I've asked FriendFeed to give us a straight "linear" feed of various types. They are working on it. By the way, did you know if you click on any of the icons on the left that you will get a linear feed of that data type? - Robert Scoble

Twitter's use of SMS is a pretty big advantage imho... - Jeff Brewster

Jeff: FriendFeed told me that SMS is coming soon. - Robert Scoble

adam - That's funny, because I consider Twitter chaotic. Only because most of the time it seems like I'm only seeing bits and pieces of the conversation. I've got my "workflow" down on FF, where it's not chaotic at all. You can also bookmark specific conversations, which is nice. I think there is a place for both, but of the two, FriendFeed could replace Twitter, whereas Twitter could not replace FF. - Vince DeGeorge

@Vince - I agree with your sentiment. You see parts of conversations over on Twitter. I find myself clicking someone's Twitter profile to see what they said, then clicking someone's else's profile to see what they said in response. It's a pain. - Hutch Carpenter

Bwana, that's why we are early adopters. They'll come around eventually. I remember a lot of people bad mouthing Twitter a year ago. Saying it was a "fad", now those same people are all on Twitter. Give it a year, they'll all be on FF next. - Thomas Hawk

And by the time everyone's on FF some early adopters will find new things to well...adopt. It's the way it always is. Hopefully FF will still be able to draw users in by then. - Daniel Spradau

Well I admit that I don't get it yet. I'm finding that I don't have enough time to keep up with FF as well as the few other networks that I belong to but I'm trying. - Vaughn via twhirl

I agree with Mr. Hawk and Mr. Gray. First the early adopters, then the spammers, then the mass market people. I'm sure Yahoo is saying to themselves now, we can do our own Twitter (Yitter?). - Mike Reynolds

hmm. I've learned some of FF. still wonder what/if I missing. I do like, tho. keyboard shortcuts? - chris ramey

I know many people who use email, yahoo, maybe google and youtube. On youtube they barely now how to hit play. I do not think the masses really care about learning it, even if it would help them. - Rob Diana

Well, if they are not @ lots of social sites (like us crazies) I can understand. Really. But for those of us who are, it brings it all together in a simple, easy to read (and comment) area. - Barbara K. Baker

Indeed Corvida, you must be chuffed to bits :) - Colin Walker

Let me suggest... Corvida hasn't revealed _ALL_ her news yet. - Louis Gray

@Louis...oooooh...do tell! - Hutch Carpenter

lol reread the comments Hutch. - Corvida via Alert Thingy

BTW, Hutch, 12 referrals from Alltop, total so far. But TVbytheNumbers is way, way below the fold in the TV category, though I think it's probably appropriately placed given most people want info about shows. - Robert Seidman

@Robert - thanks for that nugget. I'm curious as to how Guy's creation is doing. Particularly as AllTop could serve as a vehicle for mainstream RSS usage. - Hutch Carpenter

I have received 2 click-throughs from socialmedia.alltop.com since being added. - Louis Gray

I'm guessing they don't know where to place 'cranky' as I haven't been lucky enough to be added even though Guy asked for the URL - Steven Hodson

'Like' on cranky! - Hutch Carpenter

Nice to know I'm more popular than Louis on Alltop. :-) - Corvida

Three Reasons To Use Disqus

yesterday at 6:32 am

Eric Johnson, Corvida, duckamuk, Meryn Stol and 11 other people liked this

The biggest reason not to use Disqus? SEO and User-generated content. By loading client-side, you miss out. - Douglas Karr via twhirl

Douglas, how many sites get much traffic via organic searches bringing up comments that drive a lot of traffic? If that's the biggest reason to not use Disqus, it doesn't seem like much of a downside. - Robert Seidman

I just discovered it's way too easy to delete a comment in MySocial when you're trying to add one. Oops. The comment I deleted said something along the lines of, "Three reasons? Didn't I see 25? Yes, here it is, http://pastoid.com/ru+" - Michael C. Harris

The issue of content being generated by users off site will disappear once Disqus has a write enabled API, as then plugin authors will be able to post comments to Disqus and retain them for delivery to search bots. - Michael C. Harris

And my comment even made sense before Fred Wilson edited his post to include the link above :) - Michael C. Harris
