And what a fine one it is! Congrats
- Michael Fidler
it'd definitely going to take me a while to get to a million. I'm publishing about 200 photos to flickr a week right now and at this pace it will take 92 years to get there. I'll get the pace up to 400-500 a week in the future though. Better technology should make processing easier and someday my kids will be grown and I'll be able to quit my day job and focus on this even more. The best photos have yet to be taken.
- Thomas Hawk
When I think about this I realize your best days are ahead of you.
- Russellreno
That is a great photo
- Darin aka iGoByDoc
What's your shot/publish ratio? I mean, on average how many shots do you take to produce those you publish?
- Yuval Atzmon
atzmon, I probably average about 2,000 shots a week that I shoot. And I'm probably processing 300 or so of those a week at present, so I'm probably keeping about 15%. The other 85% never get processed and are kept in my archives. I'm trying only to process and publish the shots that I think meet a certain quality criteria.
- Thomas Hawk
Wow and Congrats!!
- Vox
Dude, you're a machine.
- Zee.
Jauder, the good news is that processing will only get easier in the future. I've watched it get better with each successive Adobe release. Lightroom 2.0 is the best processing tool yet. It's not necessarily faster per se though because with more tools there are yet even more ways to tweak a photo hence even more time. But the tools to speed things up are coming too. auto geotagging, better anti dust tech, faster processing speeds, easier online tools with faster broadband are all around the corner.

I left Twitter for Jaiku. Then Jaiku left me for Google. I moved in with Pownce but it died. I went back to Twitter, but flirted with Plurk, Identica, and Rejaw, and even tried doing it myself with Laconica but it was Twitter I really loved. Twitter finally broke my heart so I left it for Friendfeed. Now Friendfeed is leaving me for Facebook. No...

@Mollyanna - I disagree. I am irked because the future of FF is completely uncertain. It's more likely that FB will let FF flounder and close it down than it is that FB will invest time and resources in maintaining and enhancing FF.

This is a serious game changer for a lot of reasons. FriendFeed is very uniquely positioned to take advantage of this, as are the OMB servers (identi.ca etc). The implications for search are huge.

maybe its time for microsoft to throw in the towel, Google are simply streets (or waves) ahead in everything they do
- Neil Ashworth
I've said for some time that microsoft has fallen too far behind in the software market. They aren't the innovators anymore and need to embrace the path that they started on when they started buying into media companies. Google has the upper hand in software and they continually beat Microsoft at the marketing game. Microsoft should have realized long ago the power of giving away software in order to control the nature of the user's experience. Google has that control now.

yes. stitching together memes using people is desirable, especially considering how fast the Friendfeed River of Noise runs. This is a classic cataloging technique. It's the "See also" or "Related topics" technique.

- martin english
from twhirl
Yes- b/c with new articles coming up I see a few diff. FF posts about it- having clustering sounds great, and like Trent's idea of "more..."
- anna sauce
I'd like to have the choice of joining the connected conversation or starting a new conversation. The private room idea is interesting, but it might be too much effort (and too much room invite spam) for most people to start a new room, invite a specific list of friends, and have them join and participate..
- Hao Chen
Certainly Not. I've watched Robert's video and I couldn't agree less with him. It would be terrible if lots of conversations were carried on behind closed doors - which is what he's advocating. It would completely defeat the purpose of having an open system where people can actually move through the social network and discover each other. Likewise it would be terrible if all of the conversations about the same content were aggregated together automatically just like reddit.
- Robin Barooah
Has anyone stopped to wonder why it is we love FriendFeed so much? I think the quality of the conversation has a lot to do with the fact that it is seeded in small groups and then grows across the social network. Duplicates may be annoying some of us, but are they such a problem that we should risk destroying the community to get rid of them?
- Robin Barooah
Robin: private conversations happen all the time. Look at Calacanis' email list or Facebook or, well, the Fortune conference I am now at. I wish there were more choices in who I have conversations with.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert - agreed - and personally I don't have any problem with people like you 'manually' connecting conversations. My point is that FriendFeed is currently different - it's semi-permeable, and perhaps we love it because of that. Imagine you automatically aggregated conversations based on content and FriendFeed had 100M users - I don't want to be in a conversation with the 1% of those people who happened to post about a particular news item.
- Robin Barooah
What about this: You see the item you or one of your friends shared with its respective comments and a link (something like "more discussions") so you can see more conversations about the same item. If many of your friends shared it, you see the one with more comments first.
- Alejandro
Robert, so you have what, *thousands* of people you can have conversations with and it's not enough? Really? You could always go raise some venture capital and attempt to build a service that would allow you to have even more conversations. I don't think that should be FriendFeed's or any other company's goal though. That's not a slam on you, I just don't think these services should worry about designing to solve for your very extreme case.
- Robert Seidman
Robert: I follow 3000. That is enough. The problem we are discussing isn't that I don't have enough. Why are you changing the discussion. Actually THAT is what we are discussing! How to keep random people from changing the conversation! Heh!
- Robert Scoble
Scoble, you may have ADD. About 5 comments up (as I write this) you wrote (in THIS thread): I wish there were more choices in who I have conversations with. - Robert Scoble Or, I merely misunderstood what you meant.
- Robert Seidman
I don't see a need to connect the conversations any more than I believe there should be only one place to have a comment thread on a blog post. If Robert and others believe that commenting on FriendFeed is okay, then commenting in multiple places in FriendFeed is okay as well.
- Louis Gray
I don't see a problem with people trying to link the conversations together, but I also don't lose sleep over the fragmentation. This is another case where I would rather see conversations connected by some third party tool. I don't think it should be a FF thing. I am also pretty positive such tools already exist.
- Rah-PM 2012
Scoble: I did watch your video Susan linked to, but I come down being with Louis and remain steadfast in the hope that FriendFeed doesn't design the service to your tastes. Here's why: you follow three thousand people. If FriendFeed scales to 10 million users you can pretty much count on 99% of them following less than 100 people. I have no doubt FriendFeed has these stats and can check it with the current base. You're such an extreme use case that you're a bad person to design this service.

I want a feature in FF that allows me to SEE all the conversations in flight around a particular post so that I can join 1 or multiple convos and comment accordingly. Currently I can NOT see the entire picture. I can't even imagine how huge the conversations would be if we had EVERYONE in the same conversation. this goes back to my request to have the ability to FLAG a convo to a particular category of interest.
- Susan Beebe
Robert: I'm not designing this service, first of all. Second of all, I've shown it to a LOT of people and the #1 thing they tell me why they don't come back? "It's too noisy." So, there's something wrong with the design that's keeping it from going really big, so I seriously doubt we'll get to 10 million users anytime soon.
- Robert Scoble
Susan: you should learn to use the search. Go to the "Everyone" tab. Then search on something. You'll see all conversations, including from people you've previously blocked or hidden. In fact, this would be a killer feature: to be able to search the main topic of a comment cluster right from a link at the bottom of the cluster. Sort of like Techmeme lets you turn on search if you want (it's in the preferences on there).
- Robert Scoble
Susan I understand the flag/pin, but here's the critical piece I am missing as far as ability to see the entire picture -- why? Why does anyone want this? I for example am very interested in how Apple is handling Steve Job's health, but if you provided me with a tool that allowed me to read every post and every comment on this topic, there wouldn't be enough time to get through it. It could be done, but I don't see what the true benefit is beyond some illusion of control. What am I missing?
- Robert Seidman
The tools are already here to make Friendfeed pretty much anything you want. While the comment fragmenting can be mind-boggling, it also has 'some' advantages, like good or very popular pieces hitting the front page multiple times. I have invested a lot of time here and have a lot of faith in the FF team to do what works ... over time ... at the right time. Hopefully I won't be wrong. I hope I'm not in the minority I visit and clean up my own feed about once a day (IE: Items without comments ... gone).
- Charlie Anzman
@Scobelizer - people I've shown FF to have made similar 'it's too noisy' complaints. But when I've asked them what they mean it's always the FOAF stuff that they dislike - specifically the 'celebrities' who they don't have any connection with. I personally like some of what the a-list have to say, and enjoy the stream of content that I don't have time to look for, but some of my friends have switched off FOAF because of me commenting on posts by you, Arrington, etc.
- Robin Barooah
@Scobelizer - could it be that people think it's too noisy when you show it to them because your personal view is much more noisy than almost anyone elses? In fact I unsubscribed to you myself, although am subscribed to some people who are subscribed to you who act as a filter for me.
- Robin Barooah
Robin, exactly: imagine the service as intended, and not as some SNS pyramid scheme to drive traffic to your blog or Scoble/Louis Gray "super users". You follow less than 50 people, your real friends, family, co-workers. You see their pictures, their blog posts, what they find interesting to share, what music they're liking etc all in one convenient place. Too quiet for Scoble, but not too noisy for most.
- Robert Seidman
Robin: yes, that's possible, but usually the noise they mean is the duplications that they see, and also that conversations keep coming up in their face. They are used to Twitter or Facebook, which just is a straight stream. Then I teach them about hide and they usually calm down. The subscribing to noisy people is a problem, but think about a newbie: who should they follow? No one? Then FF is lame. Scoble? Great for techie geeks who like that kind of flow.
- Robert Scoble
Even if you follow a few non-noisy people you still see lots of duplication and noise. It's a real problem. Most people don't like systems like these. They don't also like participating in conversations, especially when they don't know who is participating.
- Robert Scoble
@Scobelizer - I don't disagree with those statements. I just think the solution isn't obvious and may end up being quite subtle. Also - as to newbies - perhaps it's not going to spread though people typing www.friendfeed.com into their browsers and not knowing who to follow but though word of mouth giving them some obvious personal starting points.
- Robin Barooah
Robert Scoble: Good call - I do need to learn to use the FF search better to find conversations / topics (I rarely use this feature and should do so more often - thanks!). I've only blocked 2 people and hidden FOAF on some heavy feeds (too much noise); I like REALLY like your idea of Search with main topic (parent) displayed with related topics (children) with Links to each. The Techmeme example you gave was great too - that would be cool!
- Susan Beebe
Robert Seidman: the reason I want a "Flag conversation" feature in FF is so that I can view / monitor conversations and IDEAS as they emerge. I may not participate in all those conversations, but I will scan them for sure - and I will LEARN and grow from my exposure to the marvelous ideas and concepts presented in those rich and diverse threads. I've learned much even from this one...

"There was a time, not long ago, when the power Twitter users were gaga for Twhirl. This Air app gave (and still gives) you quick access to different views of your Twitter network, as well as your FriendFeed stream. But Twhirl didn't last as the go-to client once the Twitterati discovered TweetDeck. This service has the big advantage of giving users a multi-column dashboard of everything going on in Twitter that they might care about, all at once on one screen. It also let users set up ad-hoc groups of people to follow, and search terms to track. It's the Bloomberg terminal equivalent for Twitterheads."

@mark ritchie - no, I don't think this is the problem. The mass market doesn't neccessarily want an overwhelmingly rich feature set. A simple proposition/UI often satisfies more people.
