If the Advocate staff are going to delete comments, please indicate the reason. In the future I will not be participating if this practice continues, or if you're not willing to debate the comment moderation.

Are you talking about Twitter here?

Great post - well documented and poignant.

This Alex person is really showing his/her true qualities with that last quote. I would imagine that person is probably under a lot of pressure.

Re: louisgray.com: Bias, Bias and More Bias. I Haz It. So Do You.

Well just a few things struck me as dynamic variables which should affect your affinity to a bias (but perhaps wouldn't if you developed a unique/special/slanted relationship). I think a follow-up examination of how you feel regarding a list of say 5-10 companies or brands sometime down the road would be interesting.

There's always something to learn out of a little self-examination.

Louis:
Some follow-up discussion on how your biases change over time and how that affects the things you talked about here would be appreciated.

Cassels always gives a good performance.

Re: louisgray.com: Not Everyone Reads Your Tweets, and That's Okay!

Louis?

Honestly, does _anyone_ at this point need to justify not reading everything that comes across their reader/friendfeed/twitter stream? Has anyone ever needed to justify it?

"They need to understand that your brand is at the mercy of its constituents."

That's one way of looking at it. Fire stuff out the marketing end and see what works. Is that the best way of looking at it though Louis? Maybe I'm missing your point here but I think the best advice is to be proactive and anticipate reactions like these. Instead of giving your constituents something to be merciful or merciless with, why not just do your best to keep your branding message straightforward and considerate?

P.S. They, your, and its all in one sentence? I know some people who might be upset with that composition.

I think you mean "less informed," not more misinformed. Being misinformed implies that what you're reading is not true.

I don't think that those who are more informed of more topics "win." I'm an engineer and if I keep my knowledge of a few key subjects current and relevant then I'm doing well by my standards. I don't need to know about irrelevant topics to be a good engineer, or a "winner" for that matter. It doesn't hurt to read the news though. Maybe Louis wants to weigh in on that one.

Thanks for creating Memiary and for this insightful article.

Re: louisgray.com: FriendFeed Offers Twitter A Chance to Play Lifestream

I agree that it's a dumb move to link back to FF instead of the relevant blog post (or whatever it may be). Imagine if Google Reader made you first stop at their app before continuing on to the story you want.

You sure don't make it _sound_ like it feels right. But anyway, have fun with it. I know I'll never own one.

"Is Scoble badmouthing the service because he didn't discover it first?"

Sounds a LOT like you with Friendfeed, sir.

Hell yeah, good post. He's got 5 ads clearly visible on the front page being very obtrusive. You on the other hand have some great writing (e.g., "WTF is this crap" - insightful at the very least) and only...5 ads clearly visible on the front page.

I can agree that his post is complete bullshit, and by applying the same criticisms to your post, I come to the same conclusion.
