louisgray.com: FriendFeed's Changing Tapestry of Users, Nine Months In
6 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
Louis writes "While some continue to debate whether one service will kill another, or what it will take to bring a product into the mainstream, I can easily say as one of the most visible and active users, the population has changed, away from an eclectic group of uber-engineers to something more recognizable: peers of all backgrounds. It should be interesting to see just what the service looks like by the end of the year, or next June. Could be dramatically different again." - Russellreno via Bookmarklet
This is a must read if you want some perspective on the short life of Friendfeed. - Russellreno
I was an early beta user of FF on Facebook, but I was losing interest when I discovered Louis and his love for FF. That is when I first logged on directly to the web site and watched wave after wave of new subscribers arrive. Excellent write up Louis. - Russellreno
I am definitely late to the friendfeed world, but I am very glad it exists. I have gained so much perspective on social media in the last month that would have been impossible without this service - gregory
@gregory - so true. I am not a part of the social media scene, but wholly fascinated by it and find FF to be such an eye-opener. FF has done more than any other service, blog or media outlet ever has for my awareness of social media and so many other subjects. - JA Castillo

For our latest mission, we filled a subway car with identical twins, creating a human mirror." - Improv Everywhere - Andrew Baron via Bookmarklet
This is quite hilarious! Nice work! - Winston Teo
This is so innovative. I even showed it too my mom! I showed something on friendfeed to my mom! Nice work. - Rahul Das
Very funny. It reminds me of the famous I Love Lucy and Harpo Marx mirror gag - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Mark Interrante
I saw that yesterday via BoingBoing -- love it! - Tamar Weinberg
That's what I call teamwork! - ChaCha Fance
I think it's amazing how twins stay the same weight and are so close to each other. - Michael Narciso
That would just blow my mind if I walked onto that train. - Jay Martin
What a creative and fun project. would have been fun to have stumbled upon this as it was being executed. - Jeff P. Henderson
@Michael I've know a pair of twins for a long time. They were identical when we were all children but now one is reed thin and the other is huge! They aren't very identical now! - Rahul Das

Just one more reason to work for Google. - Russellreno
Confession: I OK'd a lunch date with a Google person just for the cafeteria - Mona N
Apple's and FaceBook's rivals it ;) Oracle's sucks ass. Plus it's not free =\ - Mona N
Mona: I will apply for a position now for you. :D - Erhan Erdogan
Erhan: this is not match.com... go to craigslist if you're too cheap to pay! ;) - Mona N
They have their own Its-It packaging too, wtf! http://googleblog.blogspot.com... - Mona N
Un"Like" it *omg* never direct me! : ) I was talking about foods - what a cheap ego there. : )) - Erhan Erdogan
LOL! TOUCHE ;) - Mona N
Poor suckers! Where I work, not only do we get to get to pay too much for our food (as compared to nearby organizations), most of us also have the privilege of paying our employer for a non-guaranteed parking space! Envy me! - MiniMage
i never took advantage of my friend's invitations when he was there. :| - edythe
that's because you are a good person edythe, and i am shameless. WILL DATE FOR FREE FOOD! - Mona N
When I went out to Google for a visit, I was sure to try their food. had momo's and it was so much better than our cafeteria at work and it was free. - Andrea Baker
*cries* They won't hire me! *cries* - Cecily Walker
Andrea: SO true! Cecily: I'm right there with you :( - Mona N
...i wonder what the global cafeterias are like. brb googling now - Mona N
Mona - Don't leave ...ever. We need you here - Charlie Anzman

Ok, I just found the Paula Dean donut burger on Flickr at Google's Cafeteria.. how weird is that. Seriously. - Mona N
Awwww, thanks Charlie! That's so kind of you :) - Mona N
BTW - In case you didn't realize it (I just did) .. Ugh ... You were 'Louis Gray'ed today (look for FOOD :) http://www.louisgray.com/live/... - Charlie Anzman

I wish more companies had the same work philosophies Google has. Allowing them to have free food is genius. Google gets to keep more of their workers in close proximity and I'm pretty sure most stay later at the office for dinner too. free good food = happy productive employees. - Michael Narciso
IMO, it's management 101. employees(perks + positive work environment) + deadline driven employees = happier employees / phenomenal work results - Mona N
^btw the 'happier employees / phenomenal work results is supposed to be a fraction =| - Mona N
My company gives away free red vines... does that count? *sigh* - Michael Narciso
WHAAATTT Red Vines FTW! I don't know about you, but I think I can eat a whole bucket of Red Vines. But I can't find anyone who's willing to do it with me. - Mona N
i love san pellegrino and google :) - Baturalp Torun

like Revenews failed as a meta blog years ago because people no longer needed a meta blog to blog. Anyone could do it. The same is true with what were seeing now. Anyone can be an "a-lister" and be part of the conversation and get tons of followers and get known. The lines of fame are fading fast for the elite. I think that's a good thing. No offense to those at the top, I'm just saying. - Jim Kukral
I think you need to clarify what you mean by a-list because there are significant portions of the proverbial a-list who are not doing this. The ones that are are the ones who have relied soley on their political capital as "entrepreneurs" and don't engage anywhere, really, except on Diggnation. :) - Aaron Brazell
Hmmm. I think the opposite is going on. There is great concentration of influence in a relatively small group of A-listers. The current crop of social media tools is widening the attention/influence wealth gap. - John McCrea
Aaron, you know who I'm talking about. Nothing against them, but before things like Twitter and Friendfeed, it was easy for them to remain "on top". But tools like these have really leveled the playing field. If you put in the effort to work these channels you can rise quickly and get "known". That's all I'm saying. - Jim Kukral
And by the way, I'm not a-list. I'm z-list, according to Feldman anyway :), and yes, I do clamor for followers on my blog and other places. Well, I promote my signups at least. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. - Jim Kukral
Ya I'm not saying it's not happening but I haven't seen it- maybe because I'm not paying attention to these A-listers, in which case, I have humorously underlined part of your comment :-) - Brian Carter
I see FriendFeed, twitter and other social networking tools putting those of us who aren't on the a-list on the same footing as the so called a-listers. A tool on the Internet is doing just what the Internet did for small business, solos and for people who work at home, narrowing the gap to large business. - Grant Griffiths via twhirl
Social networking tools narrow the gap between a-listers and the non-a-listers. But you still have to be willing to take advantage of the tools available. You can't just stand by and hope the tools available will just work because they are there. - Grant Griffiths via twhirl
Isn't that what I said Grant? :) - Jim Kukral

Ya I that's a must read and I found it first on friendfeed, not sphinn... interesting- FF only grows in importance to me. - Brian Carter
I guess it doesn't hurt to cross-pollinate, then! - Tamar Weinberg via twhirl
Ya, Tamar, I find myself wondering if I'm spamming sometimes, but to tell Twitter friends and Sphinn friends and FriendFeed friends about a post, I find I'm creating some redundancy- multiple relevant FF rooms, and probably some friends who see my notifications about it several times. The line between anonymous and annoying can be thin. But we also all know you sometimes have to see something repeatedly to really see it or to take action. - Brian Carter

@Orli yes, see how its integrated in my blog. - Steve Rubel
just added the feedburner feedflare. let s see how it goes for redistributing blog feedback to my blog - ouriel
cool, I'll add it too (viva la blogger!) thanks man! - Orli Yakuel
I wish it had a shorter name... - Orli Yakuel
Awesome :-) - Orli Yakuel
great - code has a typo! - Orli Yakuel
The friendfeed code has been fixed, you'll need to grab it and embed it on your blog again. - Orli Yakuel
The problem with the Feedflare is that it searches. Looks like that when a post appears on FF it's not indexed yet. Or is it just me? i.e. it works on older posts but not on those I have just published (and have already appeared on FF) - Zio Bonino
I wasted my day with this code. the feedflare worked great... but I want it the way Pat Hawks blog does it. Waaaaah! - Noah David Simon
I'm going to be trying this out later on my Tumlelog. Have been trying ineffectually to code up a version based on the WordPress plug-in, but to no avail! :( - Jake Fudge via twhirl
installed the feedflare but does not seem to push down the friendfeed feedbacks to myblog. - ouriel
Can someone please get this to work with wordpress ( and wordpress.com)??? - Roberto Bonini
There is one for Wordpress.org blogs http://advocable.com/2008/06/4... - Palin Ningthoujam
I poked around a little and created a FriendFeed add in to Drupal check out http://www.orient-lodge.com/no... for details - Aldon Hynes
I couldn't get that shit working except in feedflare, but I am more curious if anyone else figured out how to get Seesmic working in Blogger. that dudes blog has some cool gadgets. - Noah David Simon
thx Aldon i love coComment but it ain't workin w/ FireFox 3 - Billy Warhol

Hey FriendFeed, 99% of your users don't know where the store is because there's no link to it anywhere on your site. Help your happy users be your walking advertisements and make it more visible. - Louis Gray via Bookmarklet

I follow all 10. Got any other suggestions? - Robert Scoble
Why isn't Scoble on the list? Or did I miss it? - Kyle Lacy
Kyle, it's based on Mike's top 10 most interesting subscriptions as defined by Friendfeed. If you go to Friend Settings in the top right, then click on Stats, you can see your top 10. Scoble just doesn't happen to be in Mike's top 10. - Mark Trapp
Would have probably helped if I actually read the entire post. I went straight to the image. - Kyle Lacy
