Do you agree that "a perfect role for someone who has recently graduated, with 1-3 years experience" means "we pay poorly"?

Excellent list, Zee! I don't know if I'm massively passionate about Evernote, but I do like it. Hadn't thought about the PIN/Serial use, but you want to make sure your "sharing" settings are correct for those. I only wish Evernote had a native Linux client. It works OK on Wine, but the UI looks terrible!

Michael thanks for the add - that's kind of what I was getting at. It has to be a gradual process since it's a social service, but we certainly have to do our part to not participate when it's not necessary if the service is bad

I'm not crazy about how twhirl handles FF. I like FF a lot but find it difficult to keep up with. Twitter just flows and I catch it when I can with notifications for who I want through IM (if they ever turn it back on!). I'm on identi.ca also, but I'm not wanting more anymore -- if that makes sense.
- Rob Williams
Left a comment on your post Jesse- great article! As I said on your blog, it's nice to see someone actually give reasonsbehind the decision rather than just spouting "twitter teh suck, friendfeed ftw!!" and leaving it at that!
- Daniel Smith
Interesting; folks in my circle have been promoting TwitterFree Fridays as a way to advance open microblogging. It's really not about the Fail Whale, you see. Jesse, you should see some of your points echoed here: http://rasterweb.net/raster... and http://rasterweb.net/raster....
- Mike McCallister
The comments on FriendFeed are much smarter than those I'm seeing on Twitter and Disqus. You guys are being much more constructive, rather than name-calling, etc. I think this goes as a tribute to the type of community FriendFeed is building here. Thanks for your great comments!

What is your hiding strategy? I hide services and whatnot to avoid duplication but it seems that some people are hiding everything that they don't find interesting. I just scroll past that stuff.

I started out by hiding unwanted services, and also services that I'm really that interested in. For the latter, I would hide only if there were no comments or likes. As my follower list grew, I found it was too much to keep up with. (And impossible to catch up on due to the page 11 bug) While most of the "good stuff" would find its way back to the top, it wasn't easy on the eyes. So...

Hide all submissions from the trolls (that 'You' person following Mona N. comes to mind). As for everything else, I mostly look to keep duplication and repetition to a minimum. Otherwise, bring the noise, I say.

I hide Tweets, Jaiku, and Brightkite w/ no comments or likes. identi.ca is slowly getting there too. Seesmic videos w/ no comments or likes FOF who only update in foreign language. Stuff I'm sick of seeing -at times I hide my own stuff...
- Mona Nomura
I hide all Pownce, Jaiku, Identi.ca, Plurk, that don't have likes/comments. On a person-by-person basis, I hide all Twitters, Last.fm, faves that don't have likes/comments. I also hide anything that I'm entirely not interested in general.

Mark Trapp -- I like how much thought you put in to what you hide, and your perspective on reshares.
- Phil G
basically what mark trapp wrote, especially the calcanis part. lol.also, can't stand when the same person uses different feeds to present the same subject over and over. if i see the same thing from you on something like intense debate, your blog and disqus you're just creating noise.
- Cee Bee
I generally on hide topics I find offensive.
- R. Ferguson
Hiding this topic would help avoid a lot of clutter.
- Sparky
J. Phil; the unexamined life is not worth living :). I understand the justification to use Reshare, but every defense in using it has really boiled down to "I didn't think the first conversation was good enough, so let me restart it." Pass. I liked the first conversation. One more for the road: anyone who uses the word "debate" when they really mean "lecture," "straw poll," "conversation," or "discussion." That one is a special pet peeve of mine.

I don't hide anything, Brief for FF makes it easy enough to bypass what I don't want. As for duplicate content, I'm stuck with that including my own. Statuses get updated all over the place and it all dumps here, which bites. If there was a FF profile I could just say "follow me on identi.ca and plurk too!" and take 'em out of my feed...

This kind of post is called a "Friendfeed Rap". Its a poetic statement about life here on FF and its a good one because it got the choir going.
- Andrew Baron
I hide stuff I'm not interested in. I hide a lot of images, even though I will like some. I mostly hide political stuff. I hide complaints about children; I have none, so hiding helps curb the impulse to retort (When one becomes a parent, a switch turns on that causes him/her to forget what it's like to have to deal with parents, so I'm often on the kids' side). I often hide videos. I ignore stuff that's only has a footprint equal to about three lines of text.
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
I have a lot of friends who are active in social media and have varied tastes in stories that they promote on Digg/SU/Reddit/Mixx/etc (I actually do too), so I hide those stories here -- I want to use FF to clear through that (which I call noise) and find conversations/interesting news related to tech and social media, for the most part.

If they got this tool right, added a bunch of social networks, FF, Flickr, Facebook, etc. and used more tools RSS subs, Technorati, etc. and then combined this with search terms it could be an excellent tool for PR professionals to use to gage who influencers are around their products. Right now it's too simplified a tool, but it's an interesting concept.

Well tootems..it's sweet of you to say that and all but you see, some of us have company Twitter accounts to keep our community updated. When the company's Twitter account suddenly unfollows everyone, and ends up auto following a bunch of strange people...someone has to go in and manually fix that. Plus, you have to try and figure out who in your community got removed and find them again. Sometimes it's not about the e-peen.

- Dobromir Hadzhiev
I'm going to side with Brian here. What is right: Comet McNaught was that bright in WA (I use to live there), but I checked my attempted pics, they predate this by over a week. I'm sure the comet was only that bright for less than a week. Second, the main Australia Day fireworks occur in Perth City...which isn't near a beach . Maybe it's Leighton Beach with Fremantle to the left...but it doesn't seem right. I did check the weather records though, there was a storm that night, and it's in the right direction

I do hope it is real though...and I forgot how wonderful the environment there is

Duncan, last year both Fremantle and I believe Hillarys held their own fireworks for Australia Day. I myself was trying to guess the location this morning. Being a regular on Leighton beach though it doesn't look familiar so I was thinking it may have been taken to the north of Hillarys. It also made me very nostalgic for Perth :)

I thought about making NoiseRiver a closed alpha (by invites) actually. But then told to myself: to hell with hesitation, let's make it and face bugs together! ;-)

Directeur: Have you check you inbox for all your new followers lately?
- Russellreno
Congrats on all the great press!
- Patrick Lightbody
@Russellreno : ouch! It's full! I'm subscribing to many of them, maybe I'm skipping some but I'll definitely see that again :)
- directeur
from NoiseRiver
Thanks Patrick! Actually without the great feedback from you folks that wouldn't happen... The first 20 minutes of the launch were really HOT :)

D: BTW there is a GM script that will help you subscribe. Google "Better Friendfeed Subscribe to me". After you load it you go into your "People who scribe to me" tab. It adds a superscribe button.

Thanks for the info Russellreno! I'll download it now :)

FriendFeed should take a look at Lifestream.fm and learn about their User Interface.
- Chris Rodgers
Not really sure about it yet. Still has a long way to go.

It is not a bad service; I really like the inclusion of Xbox Live etc. The lifestream seems to be repopulated only when someone is visiting the page tho; not sure how practical that is. I mean, okay, http://escaloop.com does the same (my own lifestreamer), but it's not storing anything on my servers, whereas lifestream.fm wants to keep track of your history.

Has Firefox 3 made Del.icio.us unnecessary? - http://www.cloudnotes.net/2008...

I never thought del.icio.us was necessary.

I always preferred Google Bookmarks to del.icio.us anyway
- Benjamin White
I make extensive use of the social aspects of del.icio.us (i.e. checking to see who else bookmarked something and looking at what other sites they have bookmarked, looking at the bookmarking activity of people in my del.icio.us network, etc.) so there is no way that I would consider switching from del.icio.us to FF3 bookmarks.
- Mike Doeff
Delicious, like any "social" bookmarking service still has a point for people who -- like Mike -- make use of the community features. There is also something important about the culture of these services that goes beyond simple functionality.
- Steve Spalding
The main interest of using delicious, to me, is being able to access my bookmarks from anywhere.
- Rubin Sfadj
I should mention that the "flow" of bookmarked sites on my del.icio.us network has slowed down in the past month or two. I think people are moving their link sharing from del.icio.us to places like FF, Twitter, Tumblr, Google Reader, etc.
- Mike Doeff
@Rubin That's exactly what made me leave it behind in favor of Google Bookmarks. For the functionality, I greatly prefer the interface.
- Benjamin White
@Ben I did give Google Bookmarks a try. A little bit spartan, I found. Plus sharing is a must.
- Rubin Sfadj
I stopped using del.icio.us when I started using Firefox 3 as my main browser back in December, but then resumed using del.icio.us recently to bookmark articles and Web pages that I'd like to use in upcoming articles, so they don't clutter up my Firefox bookmarks after I no longer need them. I like the idea that they're shared here, so people who subscribe to me here and subscribe to my del.icio.us feed can get an idea of some of the things I'm working on.
- Mitch Wagner
Del.icio.us has taken over my FireFox 3 bookmarking system. It's invaded! Help!
- Mary Anne Davis
No, not until Weave is built in.
- Rich
Never was a fan of Del.icio.us myself.
- Tsega Dinka
To me delicious is a social app. My friends and I send links to each other all the time. It's also nice to have the same bookmarks on all the different PCs I use.

i still think that none of the bookmarking sites are as easy to use as de.licio.us - but i am not sure that that social bookmarking itself is as necessary anymore. feed readers have been taking that place for me. Google Reader with the Shared function, for instance. Feedly. and, well, Friendfeed, actually.

I like Aaron Brown a lot and thought CNN did a horrible job in replacing him with Anderson Cooper. Brown is smart and seems introspective. I wonder if he has the tenacity and the prosecutorial-like skills to handle MTP. Then again, perhaps a change in style is needed as you can't easily find another Tim. And, thinking back, Garrick Utley's style was completely different than Tim's. Interesting suggestion (and, hey, he has nice things to say about Olbermann, so that's a good sign).

Agreed. I hope they give him a serious audition at least.

Five Reasons FriendFeed Is Better Than Digg - http://www.inquisitr.com/1002...
Mark Trapp, Nikpay, Dan Hsiao and 17 other people liked this
I stopped using Digg years ago and really don't see why anyone does use it. Maybe it's just my anti-social-ism, but rather than appearing as a site with thousands of contributors, it always seemed like a sited edited by a single, opinionated person that I would avoid in the halls.
- Jim
FF is personalized, Digg is for the masses.
- Jeremiah Owyang
Jim I still check Digg, just to see if there are any decent stories on the frontpage!
- Joe Dawson
I think Digg is quite useful if you have a good friends list. I'm not using it very actively, but check http://digg.com/users... . Digg would be much better if they'd make this page behave more like FriendFeed.
