FRIENDFEED ALTERT! THIS THING IS AWESOME!!! http://www.peoplebrowsr.com Watch the video, then try it out. I am already hooked. Competes with TweetDeck. Wonder what you think.
- Robert Scoble
Adds groups to Twitter. Plus much better cross-social-network contact management. Plus more.
- Robert Scoble
haha...i was thinking "don't share your password with the world!!" :)
- Zee.
Why am I not seeing a button for Friendfeed at the top?
- Mitch
Lol friend feed alert - where is the flashy lights and whooping sound? :-)
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
eh - you have to log in, they want your id and password for your accounts skip and punt
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
Checking it out now...thanks Robert... if you're hooked, I will be too! LOL Yeah, Contact Mgmt!!
- Susan Beebe
If it had friendfeed as well I'd be in.
- Nation Hahn
1st impressions were "far too messy", but i think that's mainly the text. After watching on and trying it out - it's actually pretty impressive. Love the sharing of groups
- Zee.
Look Robert, it loaded that much pics! http://friendfeed.com/e...
- directeur
*hesitantly enters password* I'm trusting you here Robert :)
- Mo Kargas
It would be FAR better if it was an AIR client
- Dennis Howlett
Mo: Jodee is a standup guy. He'll be here soon to answer questions. Directeur: it's an operating system for your social network. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Robert - this looks EXACTLY like what we talked about a few months back when you and I met up with Tim and Brian to talk about mioNews. Pretty cool, just wish it worked in Safari :P
- Patrick Lightbody
Dennis, it would be FAR^34 better if it was a "normal" desktop app
- directeur
Dennis: gotta start somewhere. They respond to feature requests VERY fast. Patrick, yeah, very similar to what we were talking about, isn't it? A lot of what I asked Jodee for showed up here. Lots of little touches.
- Robert Scoble
top notch stuff. Unfortunately I have to agree with Dennis re: AIR client. Even so, a remarkable interface.
- phil baumann
I'm just hoping it withstands the load.
- Robert Scoble
At first pass, the interface seems pretty weak. Slow, kludgy.
- Aldon Hynes
OK, after the obligatory 30 second look, my findings are: this thing is buggy. I can't really talk - I'm sure many of my projects give that same first impression!
- Patrick Lightbody
Aldon: yeah, it's slowing down already on my system. It's doing a LOT of work behind scenes.
- Robert Scoble
It's a little slow from here in Aus, I assume it's just my connection or Scoble-effect load. Interface is very nice
- Mo Kargas
Mo: I think it's the Scoble effect. It loaded fine for me 30 minutes ago, now it's crawling.

This app looks really great, thanks for sharing Robert!
- Susan Beebe
definitely on the blink...but that's to be expected

Great video, love the idea. I will try again in a couple of weeks when the site can handle the traffic. Great alpha though, this site certainly shows promise.

- Dave "Freedom 35"
Bob Blunk: yeah, I will back off of hyping it for now cause it can't deal with the extra traffic. Very slow here. I'll get Jodee to show up here as well. Probably shouldn't have launched the day before Thanksgiving.
- Robert Scoble
looks promising...i'll have to check back later when everyone and their dog aren't trying to get on...
- Trent Olson
If there's one feature I would like Twitter (or third-party) to have, it would be the abiity to see which tweet you sent that someone is replying to. I had someone reply to me about something I said a week ago. I did not remember what tweet she was replying to.
- Dave "Freedom 35"
Scoble: ya, probably should have launched ON Thanksgiving. We would all be too full of turkey and dressing to lift our fingers and navigate to the site.
- Bob Blunk
Guy Kawasaki told me this afternoon that he would rather have his Twitter account than his cell phone (and is betting Mike Arrington $1,000 that he can do without his cell phone for a week to back it up). Now you see why. No blog required. Oh, and this will never even get on TechMeme because it's too lame to look at hot FriendFeed items for tech news.
- Robert Scoble
I think we broke it.
- Jim Williams
Jim: I'm going to upload my Broadcom videos. Maybe that'll help it regain some footing. :-)

They just wrote me and said that they won't do a beta launch until next week and are working on some performance issues (obviously). So, this is a cool very early sneak peak. See you next week when they push out a new code base.

Connection to YouTube is insecure. YT whines about it, but lets it go through if you allow it. Still, c'mon, if there's a secure way to do it, as YT suggests, why not do it that way? ... Also, Upcoming support doesn't seem to work. Won't link up with my user name, nor the ID number.
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Chris, very good point about the YouTube connection. It's something we are working on and it will be released next week.
- SHHHE
@SHHHE Good, sooner the better. Likewise, whatever's got Upcoming all bugged out. I'd complain about the slow speed too, but given what I'm using it's 70% likely to be this computer that's causing it to be slow for me.

Looks like crap on IE.
- Paul Whitaker
PeopleBrowsr has been built to be used on FF3 and Safari 3.1 and it needs broadband.
- SHHHE
IE is crap!

Not the best of choices. After all, IE is still tops for browsers, whether we like it or not.

Thanx Scoble...I'm curious, why did you choose Kyte instead of qik?
- Anthony Farrior
Anthony: Kyte lets me record on a FlipCam and upload later (I can use cell phone, webcam, FlipCam, our HD cams, etc, Qik only lets me use cell phone). Also Kyte has better distribution/better player. Also Kyte has a better chat room.
- Robert Scoble
I've been using this for a couple of hours and stumbled on some very useful features. A few seconds ago I finished watching your video, and I'm blow away by the potential of this app. It reminds me of a semantic Firefox addon called Headup, that has been inserted into a browser and spiced up with added communication features. Time to put this to use. Thanks again Robert!

hi robert, twitter had some database problems a while ago. What is the effect of peoplebrowsr on the loadavg of the twitter databases? I guess peoplebrowsr is going to increase server requests dramaticly.

Orli, it might be the browser you're using. I've just had to update Safari to the latest version. Gonna install and try again.
- Nicola Quinn
Thanx Robert for the feedback. Kyte seems to understand how to edge itself out of the mobile video pack...Peoplebrowsr is cool, but I still need a reason to leave the friendfeed page. These apps are just trees whereas FF gives me the whole forest, imho
- Anthony Farrior
I am all about the Real-Time FriendFeed sidebar in Firefox. http://bit.ly/mZLT Always open so I can see what's going on in FriendFeed while I use Google Reader and browse. All I need now is full Twitter integration (see my follows) in FriendFeed and an import box at the bottom of this sidebar and I'll be set.

- Rafe Needleman
@Sean very Scobilized, indeed. But that doesn't mean it's not cool.
- David
I agree with Rafe. I wanted to like it as well but I found it to be the equivalent of a social media bloomberg terminal. Too much happening, having multiple streams update with the same post, etc. Found it not usable. I rarely just sit in front of one UI and just watch scrolling updates like that where it is my sole focus.
- Lou Paglia
Lou, thanks for your feedback. We are still in Alpha, working on the UI. You can do many things on PeopleBrowsr. Did you try the Search or the Groups functions? Very welcome your ideas: http://groups.google.com/group... Thanks

both of them feed into FF. brightkite is under the 'status' option and has been there for at least 2.5 mos. and you can put utterli here via rss like everyone else does.

okay, this is why I love SM. I reached out to Twitter/FF and you all answered. I am adding Utterli via rss (didn't know everyone else did this) and brightkite. Thanks @faboo mama. @shawnfarmer, totally agree. Need to add Dopplr feed too.
- Aaron Strout
congratulations!
- Anika
FYI - for anyone wanting to add Brighkite, you actually have to go to your Brightkite.com page and click on the "Sharing" tab under "Account Settings.' That will allow you to add your Brightkite stream to Twitter if you haven't already AND add it to FF and FireEagle.

Benefits of Using Twitter for Journalism: finding sources and story ideas; staying in touch with community; crowdsourcing/live coverage; promotion and visibility

half the room feel like twitter newbies...the other half experts...is there no middle ground...? hmmm

Good link from ReadWriteWeb (for bloggers' perspective): http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
- Sarah Perez
Do you tweet as yourself or as the brand (paper/site/etc)? Something you need to decide up front.
- Sarah Perez
Twitter tools: 1) search.twitter.com (formerly summize) - get the feed for your searches and add to your RSS reader 2) TwitterLocal.net - get local tweets - good for finding nearby folks 3) Tweetscan (@etanowitz doesn't use) - can get email alerts, though 4) Twitterfeed - feed your blog to Twitter
- Sarah Perez
Issues Using Twitter for Journalism: 1) Tipping off the competition - don't post that! you're competitors will see it! oops. Maybe try direct messages instead. News org's still like exclusives, so do the benefits of using Twitter for this story outweigh the benefits of getting the scoop 2) Burning your sources (this is from the crowd) - ppl could get exposed, fired
- Sarah Perez
Oooh, someone just commented that she doesn't like Orlando Sentinel - she wants quality of writing, in-depth content.

Heated discussion ensues over tipping off competition

Issues Using Twitter for Journalism: continued: 3) Must engage community; 4) RSS feeds? should you feed your RSS to twitter
- Sarah Perez
WHAT NOT TO DO: look at @saxenmeyers tweets - esp first one - BE A REAL PERSON
- Sarah Perez
Issues Using Twitter for Journalism: continued 5) transition from tweet to quote - is it OK to quote? 6) PR folks invade twitter - not necessarily a bad thing - can get more info from them/develop relationships w/them 7) How personal can you get? Be careful..as you get into Twitter, you sometimes forget that you're representing (possibly) an employer; even if it's a personal account, you may still be assoc w/your company
- Sarah Perez
When linking to your site/blog, do a little teasing - a good headline - make ppl want to click through to read more
- Sarah Perez
Oh no, Twittering the funeral. Personal opinion on this: bleh. Terrible use of Twitter. But to each their own. WAS THERE ANY NEWS VALUE TO THIS?

On Twitter, you don't have to read everything. "Snacking" Just drop in and out as you desire.

- Jill Howard Allen
Jill mentions a subtle point that I see all the time--"After recently leaving my job, I have been actively working my network..." I see this all of the time, especially on LinkedIN, people come alive and begin working their network when they are starting to look for a new job or get separated from a job. It is so important to invest in you network (with value to it) so much earlier. The dividends will be much higher!
- Bill Rice
from twhirl
I agree with Bill. The best time to engage your network is when you have something to give to it, not when you need to get something from it. Paying it forward is the best way to ensure success from your network in the future.
- Morgan
Bill, maybe a better way to put it I have been able to spend more quality time with my network. How about that?! I've been active in Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn for some time, but I've had some additional time to learn more about networks like FriendFeed and spend a little more time commenting. :)
- Jill Howard Allen
Right on Jill/Bill. LinkedIn and Twitter have really been a BIG help. Now with Twinkle to augment my more LOCAL want/need to meet new early adopters here in my own back yard... I finally feel in a position to leverage that network one of these days when I need to most. Instead of having to try and build a network under duress and sub-optimal conditions. And, of course, I'm available as a resource to many more people (which has been a lot of fun).
- Gerald Buckley
Jill, Sorry I wasn't implying you were one of those people investing in their network too late. I just thought you made an excellent subtle reference to a mistake (if you haven't been following Chris' suggestions before) I have seen. I can't tell me how many times when someone starts looking or they are let go that I will get barraged with old, suddenly good enough to be accepted...

It's funny that I should see this post today--I spent a lot of time this morning/afternoon connecting with people in my networks through blogs, Twitter, email, chat, face-to-face--it's been one of those days that took the reins in its own hands & led me away from my schedule. :-) Just a couple months ago I would have felt really nervous at this point, because I "spent the whole day chatting & didn't get anything done." But...wow. I have done *tons*. (Now the dog wants to network, so I'm off to play fetch!)

There are some people who are simply stretching out, following new folks for new influences. They're not all spammers and stalkers.
- Chris Baskind
I recently felt weird about that too, but instead changed my strategy for how I use Facebook. Instead of denying contacts, I've just changed/deleted my personal info like my street address and private data, etc. SO now I can participate with anyone there that wants to participate with me, without worry.
- Andrew Baron
@AndrewBaron - That's a great point. Though there is a strange dichotomy between the site as a friend book or a networking site ...
- David Weiner
I have a limited view friend list and if the person seems reasonable, ie a non spam mer, and like they have a reason to want to link, I will add them in that category. means there is not that much to see, tho. For me FB is a good contact manager for less professional associations than linked in.

- Ryan Kuder
Steve, those of us who experiment w/ all these platforms need to discuss how we're using each. I'm like you, I don't follow via FF as many as I do other ways. But at times find it redundant to twitter. I'm still trying to figure out exactly where I want to stamp out redundancy and where redundancy makes sense.
- Rex Hammock
it would be much better if they actually wrote a brief note in the friend request and told you why they wanted to be your friend and a bit about themselves. Just because you don't know them does not mean you should not. ;)
- Rodney Rumford
Since when do you have to know someone to friend them on a social network. That's just crazy talk.
- Bwana ☠
LOL @ Bwana's comment ;*)
- Susan Beebe
I think it's that Facebook doesn't allow you to "subscribe" to people you don't know, so you have to "friend" them instead to see what they're up to. Steve, you're just popular and people want to know what you're up to and they're just not early enough adopters to know about friendfeed. Come to think of it WHY ISN'T FACEBOOK API'd into FF?
- Chris Aldrich
I use the same rule on Facebook and experiencing several friend req's per day as well. If I don't remotely know you I don't accept you on FB
- James Andrews
ask for a fans page like I did, they can just add you, you don't have to add them
- Loic Le Meur
I find that sort of reasoning a little odd...the whole point of all of these networking tools is to broaden your network. If I don't know someone, I let them prove their worth to me. It's easy enough to delete a contact or block a follower later on.

I turn down many because I DO know who they are...

A stranger walks by and says hello. You ignore them because you don't know them. Is that social?

@LPH In NYC yes because 9 times out of 10 they're either going to try to rob you, beg from you, or scam you. I think the same rules can be safely applied to the internet.
- EricaJoy
The rule for Facebook used to be: if you walked by the person on the street, would you say hello? Yes, they are your friend. No, reject. People seem to have lost that as the site scaled and now think it is MySpace.
- Nicholas Molnar
Just an interesting question here! How can you know if someone is interesting or not if you have blocked them on Friend Feed not based on your interaction with them, but just because a power user has bocked them? Can you answer this for me?
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Many people who request to add me as a friend I really don't know personally but we've met on some social sites and I only know their nicknames over there which are often not their real names (that they are presented with on Facebook). So when I send a request to such a "social network" connection myself, I invariably add an explanation like "It's Svetlana, we are connected on..." - and I expect the same courtesy from others. I don't think it takes much time to add a short note.

- Chris Brogan
Chris, there's no one right answer. The power of aggregation is to have multiple conversations come in one place. The power of diversification is to have many separate conversations tailored for a specific crowd in more vertical places. The best bloggers and social media users will participate and engage where the best conversations are, and leverage search or other tools to be aware. Given the # of hours in a day is limited, how you use your time is up to you.

In my living room - I like television... in my car - I prefer radio. Just because I have a TV doesn't mean I don't want my radio to work in my car.
