It was a fantastic ceremony. One of the best weddings I have ever seen. It was traditional Jewish themed, so I am wearing a yarmulke to match the vest and tie. Lots of great friends from my teenage years.

LOL, I appreciate that. :-) This was just too cute to pass up, though.
- Jason Huebel
I see I can learn a thing or two from Miss Audrey. My response would have been like, "duh. Of course you do. I'm the cutest! Thanks!" Humility, I do it wrong. ;-) But seriously, she's so adorable it's hard to not smile when you're presented with a photo of her.

Those of us who don't have a cute baby girl have to live vicariously through the photos you post. :-) We've adopted her.
- Jason Huebel
It's really, really, really hard to be upset with her about anything because she's so damned cute. If I make a mean face toward her, she just starts grinning at me and I start laughing. She's already won the battle!
- Akiva Moskovitz
Wow, women learn that trick at an early age, don't they? How many times does she have you wrapped around her little finger? ;-)
- Jason Huebel
Hah, it's hard to tell as she hasn't really gotten to that stage of manipulation yet. At this point, she just wants to get our attention so she has her fake cough, she makes certain noises, etc. But, man, I can already see this as being an uphill battle.

I want more video of her screaming at Akiva

Heh, we were just doing that.

Akiva, how does she sound when she screams? Video of audrey when she starts eating broccoli with her own hands..get your video ready! Very funny scene in my home on that day.
- Myrna
Myrna, she just screeches in this really funny way (Rochelle had posted a video awhile back but I can't find it via the search anymore). I wish we had our video camera on the other day when we tried to feed her peaches. She made the funniest noise and face we've yet seen.

Duuuuude. It just hit me that if FF goes away, that means no more Audrey pictures (or other cute FF babies). Whoa. Ok. NOW I'm upset. Stupid FB!!!!!!!

pea, you'll always be able to find Audrey pictures at http://www.roadofmiracles.com!

oh okay. that makes me feel better. seriously, not to creep anyone out, but the baby pics are a big part of what makes FF fun for me.

Doesn't creep us out at all. It's flattering!

That was like my 3rd thought after the announcement, "No more Audrey :( "

What will the blackhat SEO experts, the SM spammers, and the social media experts do during a widespread outage? The answer is obvious: While sitting out the crisis they're fine-tuning their methodology. Seriously, your question offends me. There's a gazillion of SEO experts out there who do not abuse social media.
- Sebastian
Sebastian there can't be a gazillion SEO experts! What's 10,000 keywords times 20?? (and that's being generous!)
- Arleen Anderson
Would a social media expert consider it to be a crisis? If they rely so heavily on just one or two tools that it's enough to throw them into a tizzy, their expert status would seem to me to be ... questionable, at best.
- Gord McLeod
Agreed.
- Greg
Arleen, 10,000 keyword phrases times 20 is a tiny fraction of the search terms that are worth optimizing for. Think of the long tail. Also, consider lots of webmasters and even publishers / site owners / bloggers / Web developers ... SEO experts who are able to optimize their stuff quite successfully but don't sell or publish their expertise. Many of them, and even many SEO consultants, do make sensible use of social media, as plain users.
- Sebastian
Gord, in a social media spammer's book 2 hours of outage, IOW 2 hours w/o sales from sneakily distributed links to questionable sales pitches, can sum up to way more than a good day's beer money. ;) However, "crisis" might be a term too strong for this potential loss.

- Mark "DerBingle" J
Robert, admit it, you broke Twitter by massively unfollowing people. The DDoS attack reports have just been a ruse to cover up the fact that you were the backbone of Twitter all this time.

There you go again implying the only ones that use twitter is SEO experts, the celebrities, the spammers, the bots, and the social media experts - This is definitely SPIN. Perhaps you should join CNN also LOL

Trying to figure out how to comment and not double-tweet over on tweetdeck :)
- bev
Or just simply trying to figure out how I am double-tweeting!
- bev
Here is why I have two Twitter accounts and what I'm learning:
''a_a@FF'', Orli Yakuel, Tamar Weinberg and 47 other people liked this
1. Because my main account needs to follow everyone who is following me for DM reasons.
- Robert Scoble
2. But that means I can't closely follow my friends and people I've met face-to-face.
- Robert Scoble
3. Following 100,000 means you'll only randomly see Tweets, and you'll miss too much good stuff.
- Robert Scoble
4. There's no way you can completely follow more than a few hundred people. So, if you've followed more than 1,000 you need two accounts.
- Robert Scoble
5. I've been using this technique here on FriendFeed for more than a year and it really rocks (FriendFeed lets you split your friends up into lists, while Twitter forces you to get more than one account).
- Robert Scoble
http://twitter.com/notsecr... is my second account.
- Robert Scoble
or use TweetDeck, right? I haven't used it, but I understand it lets you group/prioritize the people you follow
- Joshua Maurice
Scoble, this solution doesn't seem to scale. In another year does this mean you'll have a supersecret account that only follows select people from the secret account?
- Ryan Jones
so one account for people you really want to follow and one for everyone that you follow back at both FF and Twitter?
- bev
Guy Kawasaki does this right?:
- Steve Rubel
Robert: makes sense...but what is the advantage of 2 accounts compared to Groups
- Edwin Khodabakchian
I use TweetDeck to organize my close friends into a list. That way, it's really easy for me to just follow those who are close to me, but still get DMs from everyone.
- Eric Pender
Is there a client aka Tweetdeck that allows you to pull in your Friendfeed friend's lists?
- Stephen Kennedy
... or any other BETTER filtering service than Tweetdeck, like PeopleBrowsr.
- Alan Veeck
Edwin: none, except that Twitter does not support groups and I'm not going to invest the time to build them in, say, TweetDeck when there's so much innovation going on in Twitter clients.
- Robert Scoble
There are more than a few Twitter usability issues that I'd like to see changed in addition to the required multiple accounts, deleting of DM's being easier and organizing of people as well....Tweetdeck allows this but Twitter should have thought of this internally...
- Walter Schwabe
This seems like a lot of effort to deal with the problem of courtesy refollows. Why not just follow those 500 people or so on your main Twitter account? If you don't care what people say publicly and they're just noise, why deal with the acres of spammers sending you DMs to shill for some crappy product?
- Trent Hamm
bev: right, I think. Ryan: yeah, this probably doesn't scale. But for now it does.
- Robert Scoble
My Twitter numbers are strikingly similar to my FF numbers - when it comes to followers / followees. I've never broken 1000 when it comes to people I follow and every so often I go through and prune my list to help tune the noise. I've given up on Twitter and really focus most of my effort on my FF friends.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
I see. the 2 account approach makes it portable across twitter client. smart
- Edwin Khodabakchian
With Seesmic Desktop I created groups like "China, Hong Kong, France, Ogilvy, etc etc" and it works fine
- Jean-François Amadei
Alan: for instance, if I had spent the time doing that on TweetDeck, now I'm using Seesmic Web. So I'd have to recreate the groups.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: What is you 2nd FF account?
- Amir
Tweetdeck became a necessity after 100 follows. I have groups and I rarely add to them- which means that me following you on twitter means virtually nothing as I rarely read the main feed. I can see this really corrupting your % followers to followed, which I do care about. Anyways, FF does make this a more feasible situation, to follow lots of people and still interact with them. Whereas with Twitter I'd have to resort to 2 accoutns.
- anna sauce
Amir: I only have one, but I have several lists of friends.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Do you recommend that technique to everyone?
- Amir
I jus noticed, you don't follow me on twitter for DMs. heart breaking, that must be why you never answer me on twitter :P
- Özgür D. Cyric
Has anyone tried http://www.grouptweet.com/? I like its features, makes it easy to have private groups on twitter.
- Nagesh C
I do the same, and it greatly improved my twitter experience. now i never miss what my close buds are saying.
- sean percival
Looking through the list, I noticed you follow lots of people, but not a lot of feed type accounts. No newspapers, rss crossposts, etc... It's all people, maybe discuss why?
- Jim Graham
Seesmic is a good little program, not as "weird feeling" as Tweetdeck.
- Gus
will they add tags/filters on twitter? would be nice, but one thing which makes twitter great is its simplicity
- diegovanegas
Amir: either that technique or join FriendFeed. :-)
- Robert Scoble
I follow millions at a time with my one Twitter account. :-) - http://staynalive.com/article...
- Jesse Stay
Jim: because I want to view my news through the filter of people I know.
- Robert Scoble
Functionality and usability are key I'd say most of the 3rd party apps that are good give you that work for grouping Twitter properly, I prefer TweetDeck, but it is just a matter of comfort I had tried Seesmic and others, I guess I really liked the go anywhere connectivity of Tweetdeck when it went iPhone.
- Patrick Boegel
To me the conflict between DM and tweets proves a weakness in the twitter concept, so why not pushing them to address that. You can set up a massive vote for something like this.
- Jcm Manuel
Jcm: if Twitter listened to me they would get rid of the Suggested User List. I'd rather not beat my head against a brick wall.
- Robert Scoble
So this new one is basically Scoble using Twitter the way everyone else does?
- Jan Dawson
There must be a proper way to combine things. Twitter is all about limitations, but if they force people to have 2 accounts, there's clearly something that sux.
- Jcm Manuel
Jan: most of the people I'm following have thousands of friends. This one is more picky.
- Robert Scoble
I don't see how you keep up with them both.
- Kevin Montgomery
Kevin you can keep up by using tweedteck or seesmic (allow for multiple accounts)
- Jcm Manuel
Kevin: multiple screens. And I don't look at 100,000 people very often. The noise there is extraordinary.
- Robert Scoble
With your 2nd twitter account, you pretty much can ignore the first one, but use second one to broadcast to a much bigger group. One for socializing, one for broadcasting?
- Nagesh C
I know.....I use tweetdeck, but between email, myspace, facebook, twitter......it's ALOT of noise. I'm struggling to actually engage on twitter they way I would like. Robert, do you remember me from the Himmelman/Skin tour?
- Kevin Montgomery
I bet that your DMs will diminish on the first account pretty soon, if not already
- Nagesh C
That's a great idea, especially for someone like you. How can you even keep up with all of these comments on your posts? FF is definitely much more logical and organized than Twitter. I only use Twitter for those who don't have FF, and then I just have imaginary friends. I hardly ever go to Twitter (in any form).
- Californian
Nagesh: the smart people DM me on FriendFeed already, yes.
- Robert Scoble
I don't have the problem of thousands of people I follow, but I do know that before I follow someone, I look to the posting behavior. If he/she's posting just a few good messages per day I follow, it it's a spammer like Scoble I don't follow - unless he's called Scoble of course LOL. But my approach is to choose very carefully.
- Jcm Manuel
By the way, the whole LINKING between services sux too. For instance, I follow Scoble on another twitter account. But when it linked to friendfeed, it logged in with my other account (I have 2 accounts there as well) - because in the browser you always log in with the account you last logged in (unless the session has expired). I didn't even notice that I didn't "friendfeed" with the account that sent me here. There's very little control over all these things - I make errors like this very often.
- Jcm Manuel
Aren't most of the people you've met face to face on Friendfeed with feeds from Twitter/blogs/facebook/etc..? In terms of broadcasting, feed the main Twitter account and use FF to filter, as you mentioned. Seems simple enough, am I missing something?
- Benjamin Taylor
Some 2 hours ago I was looking on the Seesmic site if they had some public planning of developments, but I couldn't find it. I would love to know what they plan - e.g. if they plan to add friendfeed to Seesmic desktop. And myspace feed of course.
- Jcm Manuel
Loic says they were waiting for FriendFeed's new API to work on FriendFeed support. I'd expect that's coming soon now.
- Robert Scoble
ok that's great anyway. I find it strange though that myspace is so often ignored - that's 250 million people as well. Seesmic, Flock... etc. they don't seem to care a lot.
- Jcm Manuel
This is the exact reason why the number one new feature Twitter needs is user groups. With user groups you can manage the information and pay attention to what is important. I find it surprising and actually ridiculous that they haven't been able to implement this feature yet. Scoble is right about not investing time in Twitter clients to create user groups; the innovation in this field...

I do the same thing. My second account I call the "PIMP" group, People I've Met Personally. Two accounts is better than Tweetdeck groups because I don't like to be stuck in tweetdeck.
- Scott Jangro
for me, Twitter is biz, Friendfeed can serve as both personal and biz. Originally, my 1 twitter account was meant 2 be personal, but now its more than that, its 4 advocacy and social purpose. Therefore I find if I want anything personal, friendfeed and identi.ca would be better serve 4 me!
- polou/indigo_bow
I've said it several times in several places, and again here just to hear myself ramble. Tweetdeck misses tweets very often. I've created columns/groups/whatever you wanna call it to follow family and friends. It misses their stuff more than it catches it. So, for me, and several other people I know, it's unreliable... and therefore unusable. I'm not too keen on using Peoplebrowsr or...

I have opened a second twitter account to stream there most of my links I feel like to (re)share w/o comments, and reserve the "main" account for more "conversation-like" stuff. Not sure yet if it will work, I am still experimenting. I also realized that I can use that second account to filter my twitter feed when I am mobile (follow real people on one account and news sources on another, for example...)
- Ashalynd
It'll be interesting times when Twitter does implement some kind of filtering function and you'll want to merge multiple accounts.
- Vincent van Wylick
I usually find that interesting things I find on Twitter already has been filtered through to Friendfeed, so I have to say I care less and less about checking Twitter

- Charlie Anzman
All of this just so you can get DMs on Twitter? Your email address (and your cell phone number) are right on your blog. Do you have so little faith in email? Or do you want to force people into 140 character messages, so you get less lengthy emails? By creating convoluted systems, you haven't solved anything. You're not addressing an obsessive need to be in touch with everyone through...

it's an arbitrary removal from search based upon subjective criteria which may or may not be true.

- Shoq
I'm still bummed Summize doesn't index every tweet >:[ Twitter is setting itself too much stock that new tweets are more relevant than older ones...
- CannonGod
There are several manifestations. Even though my account is fixed, many tweets simply vanish into an index wormhole. They can be found in my updates, but NOT by search.
- Shoq
and then there is the problem of having accounts restored, only to discover that any tweets prior to restoration are never, ever available in search again.

I was filtered for some time -- don't know the start because I didn't know to look.Restored for 4 hours then filtered again for about 20 hours, now back to full feed. I have no idea why I was filtered. I did use tweetlater.com to announce a friend's non-profit petiiton (about 12 tweets over 48 hours, not much variation). All my tweets from before filtering are gone from search. Not a big issue for me as I don't rely on, but could be very hard for a tweeple for business.
