That sucks. Microsoft has the money to hire people that are useful to the world and then relegate them to obscurity. I'd like to be wrong but i doubt they're working on anything _useful_ to the identity movement.

But for them to even hire an expert is HUGE.

When I was there, there were plenty of fans of open source, the culture was just negative (I was never allowed to use Perl to create a system app- had to use visual basic or DOS). So this seems huge to me. But poor guy- his job will suck.

The Talk About Rules for Social Following Is Getting Out of Hand - http://www.louisgray.com/live...
Mitchell Tsai, Michael C. Harris, Steve Spalding and 43 other people liked this
I totally agree with your approach to friending people on FF. I am slow to friend new people unless they are personal friends, web acquaintances, or someone that consistently has something interesting to say. I see no problem with following people and not having them follow me or visa versa. For me FF is not only about communicating with friends, but is also about getting & sharing quality information with like minded people. My goal is to have a quality experience while keeping the noise to a minimum.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Great post Louis! I do not auto follow people that follow me either. When someone follows me, I do take the time to look at their feed, likes and comments and judge if their interest are similar to mine. I try to review my subscribers (that I'm not subscribed to) weekly with the same criteria to see if I should be scribed to them.
- Justin Korn
"The way I choose to follow people on FriendFeed was first, people I knew, or engaged with elsewhere, second, following people who engaged in my activity through comments and on the feeds of the others I followed, and third, friends that those I follow engaged with, and whom I shared interests." - Same here. I also look at activity on FriendFeed, if someone just signed up and added their twitter feed I don't really see a point in following (unless their twitters are extremely interesting).
- John Duff
I agree with Justin, I don't reciprocate a follow until I see the user's contributions to the friendfeedosphere. Same thing with Twitter (which is getting spammier lately)
- Jorge Escobar
Louis, I still think you're the exception to the rule, maybe Scoble to, because you interact with people even if you don't follow them. I still think though that many in the so-called A-List don't care about their followers aside from bragging rights, which is why reciprocity isn't unreasonable as a mark of respect
- Duncan Riley
@Duncan, appreciate it. I expect there's no "one right way" to engage. I just wanted to be sure people understood why I do what I do, and that if I don't have the automatic follow, it's no personal sleight. I expect to engage with everyone I can, when I can. It's for others to shoot me down if they think I'm tripping over my ego. So far, I hope, I'm safe.
- Louis Gray
This is why I say you define yourself by who you follow. If you only follow people who use these tools as broadcast media, then you define yourself as a consumer and/or a fanboy/follower. If you follow only people who participate with you, then you are a participant. If you follow jerks, then you are most likely a jerk yourself (or will soon become one, because that's what you value). If you follow smart people, etc. etc.
- Robert Scoble
my 2cents:1) immeadiate 'refriending' - whether its twitter, ff, fb, myspace or any of teh zillions of SNs out there - rewards the spammers and time wasters. 2) If I follow you because I think YOU"RE interesting, even if I comment on your feeds or blogs, I don' EXPECT that what i blog about will be interesting to you. 3) (value for money !!) I don't have the RESOURCES to follow back and read everybody - I have to discriminate somehow, regardless of how arbitrary it seems to you (or me)
- martin english
from twhirl
Question: what's the etiquette when you're ending a relationship (irl)? I defriended on some, but linkedin, facebook ,flickr seemed diffuse enough that you could easily ignore someone's status. Chat- definitely removed, and twitter definitely removed also. Is this super geeky of me? Ha
- anna sauce
Sometimes, it's good to stop talking and just listen. In fact, if you're so busy forever talking you never listen, and listening is learning. It's all a balance. With FriendFeed you CAN do something quite successfully you can't do in "real life", and that's have a one-sided conversation. You talk, I listen or vice versa. It works well at times. I shall go shut up now, and read some more.
- Ian May
my 0.02 - Don't never ever tell me how to use Twitter or Friendfeed. If you don't like how I use these sites, then unfollow / unfriend me. I got more important things to worry about. Someone at SocialMediaCamp SF was talking about "rules for good twittering" and I just about lost it.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Brian, I don't care how you use Twitter or Friendfeed, and nor should I. It's your business. There should be no rules, except those we impose on ourselves so we can manage the flow. I might have nothing better to do all day, except browse friendfeed; you might get two hours a week. How on earth then, can there be a "right" way or a "wrong" way.

Where does responsibility end? Congress voted for the things he's being potentially accused of, as well. Do they get punished for war-crimes? What about the faulty intelligence gatherers? What about folks like Gore and the Clintons, who also supported the Iraqi war? What about the folks who voted for the folks who voted for this war? It's easy to pick on the President because he's a retard, but that doesn't make it sporting.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Good point, Mark. On the other hand, giving this administration's penchant for torture, illegal extraditions, etc. there may have been some war crimes the administration engaged in that Congress did not approve.
- Steve Lynch
No, that's not a point, it's a slippery slope. Last time I checked, Mark, going to war or being a retard wasn't against the law. Torture is. And Congress had nothing to do with its institution as the preferred method for gathering intelligence, taking as models the Viet Kong and the Gestapo. It was an unconstitutional expansion of executive power. In my view, they are fascists.

I've stated that the video itself is definitely racist and have refrained from labelling Loren himself. But I've been trying to find an apology and this is all I've found: http://www.1938media.com/officia...

- Dan Kaplan
it's sad that people choose to cast off a racist video like that as "comedy" or "satire" and instead attack those who who have a valid gripe with it as being too "pc." there's responsibility that goes along with having a forum such as that one. this clown shed all responsibility when he chose to make a mockery of an entire group of people. funny? what world are some of you living in?
- Cee Bee
I put more faith in Corvida's judgment than in any of the other responses to this that I saw. She's a Verizon customer. She's part of the racial group that Loren was doing an alleged parody of. And I respect that it's up to her to determine just how offensive that is as part of those two groups.
- Cyndy
While I am glad that Loren's behavior is being examined at the Corporate sponsor level, I feel that the industry (i.e. individuals in it) should resist jumping on his back, creating controversy and/or seeking to add to one's one fame/notoriety at the expense of another industry individual. That's not right.
- Alex Hammer
Shey - I think I can label Loren. He's a jackass. I don't think he'd even argue it.
- Phil G
Thank you, Corvida.
- Hao Chen
@Alex Did we create the controversy or was that Loren? Your logic seems a little backward. He brought this on himself.
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Alex, you don't think that's a bit ironic considering that's how he's spent the last several months? Or was that tongue-in-cheek? I didn't see a winkie there.
- Cyndy
Everyone should stand-up against all kinds of racism. Loren Feldman still has thousands of followers in Twitter and FriendFeed. Do something against racism and don’t follow him anymore.
- Kerem Ozkan
I'm with you Cordiva.
- Russellreno
I disagree with you Cordiva, I thinking the bigger problem which was debated last year is when is jokiiing about such subjects as racism correct or incorrect as we seem to have this unwritten rule that only the minority that is being poked fun at can do the joke.. Chris Rock's comedy skits are but one example.
- Fred Grott
Wow -- what a complex subject if one is strongly against racism, strongly against political correctness and strongly for free speech simultaneously, as I am. My mind is going in every possible direction on this. I enjoy satire and parody when it is carefully targeted, and I detest vicious ethnic and racial stereotyping. I defend the right of jackasses to embarrass themselves and self-destruct. I deny their right to harm others.
- Sean McBride

J Phil does that mean that the racist gangster rap gets free pas on Verizon?
- Fred Grott
My $.02: Loren exercised his right to post that video and now Corvida is exercising her right to express her strong feelings about it. I think that's exactly how it should work. Telling her to stay quiet about it makes about as much sense as telling Loren he didn't have the right to make the video in the first place.
- Mike Doeff
Rap lyrics *always* get a free pass. That is a major double standard. I mentioned that back when Don Imus' firing was in debate and got shot down.
- Morton Fox
Just in case anyone gets upset at Corvida's response - you might be interested in reading Loren's response to a stupid Guy K. remark in his post http://www.1938media.com/guy-kaw... (he wrote in the comments "Im so not sensitive about the jew thing, but this just smacked me in the face a bit"
- leigh himel
My opinion anyway is Loren's right to post the video doesn't mean that he is free from the consequences of posting that video. We all too have the right to boycott, shun, or speak out in response.
- Morton Fox
All I can say is 'thank you.' That was a brave and motivated thing you did and I support it all the way.
- Tsega Dinka
why are people bringing rap music into this argument as a way to level the debate? lol
- Cee Bee
'm so glad that Corvida, in her usual, straightfoward and articulate way, spelled it out. If there was an equivalent to the n-word for white people that carried the same lacerating power, that would be easier. But there just isn't. "Blasting political correctness" is just the skinny tree that bad comedians of the world hide behind when they're aiming for satire and can't manage to get past crude or cruel. Loren might have been aiming FTW, but he failed.
- Merredith Branscombe
Way to go Corvida! good riddance.
- Alan Le
@Fred Grott - It's not about the fact that he used the n-word. I know plenty of people that use it black/white/hispanic/ you name it. It's the way in which he went about degrading the African-American community. It was more than the words he used. It was the entire video. It was his looks. It was his actions. Saying the n-word doesn't get press like this if you're a true comedian.
- Corvida
And Chris Rock doesn't get a free pass. Chris Rock does his comedy, but he doesn't degrade his community in the process. He points out truths and does so in a way that's not crossing the line because if he insults the African-American community, he's insulting himself simultaneously. Hispanic comedians to the same thing. Caucasian comedians do the same thing. They don't degrade, the state facts that either make people squirm or make people laugh. That's as far as it goes.
- Corvida
Well done for taking a brave stand, Corvida.
