Re: Has FriendFeed Found The Secret Sauce?

Corvida Raven — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 23:57:25 -0000

I can't wait to see what happens when they release their API. I think it's going to be very successful. At the same time, I don't think it's threat to Twitter or any of the social networks it aggregates because as you said, it needs those services to work. Still....I've been seeing a handful of people actually post questions or comments directly in FriendFeed using the 'Share Something' feature. No aggregation or other service necessary. No pulling of anything.

While it's not that big of a deal now, I could see it gaining some traction as FriendFeed continues to take off.

Has it found the secret sauce? Yup and it's perfecting it to everyone's liking quite nicely.

At the same time, half of the sites that FriendFeed aggregates are sites that are open to the public to some extent (ie Twitter). These items are still available for discussion on all the services that FF aggregates.

Re: Social media obsession and how it is nothing new

But some services are very new to some of us. I wasn't born in the age of USENET. Sure, I've heard about it. I've even attempted to try it out, but the services that are readily available now and were put out while I've been catching on to things are way more useful for me. Perhaps it's a generational thing?

The features may not be new, but sometimes the implementation and ease of use is.

Well in that case I definitely can and have complained about the fragmentation too!

Those slick bastards! Duncan Riley still needs to be fired.

Re: Is fragmentation bad?

Corvida Raven — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 11:48:27 -0000

At the same time, comments can still be made by groups of friends on the original sites.

Fragmentation isn't horrible or even bad. I just know that I'd love to have the option to pull comments back to some of the original items, more specifically, back to my blog.

Of course not and get better soon because I miss your posts!

Re: The most useful FriendFeed feature not being used by its users

Corvida Raven — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 17:17:36 -0000

The biggest problem is that you have to do this for everyone! I wish there was a global setting like this for services. I wish could ignore ALL twitter updates on FriendFeed unless they have a comment or like. To have to do this manually for every person is a burden if you're following a lot of people.

Corvida Raven — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 19:39:56 -0000

Just emailed them! Thanks Rick! Once I get a response, I'll post it in this comment section...or maybe if they add it they'll just announce it, but I requested a Global Settings feature for services.

Re: And your first thought is??

Corvida Raven — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 21:05:59 -0000

Only you would point this out so...nicely lol.

Re: FriendFeed changed the conversation landscape today

Corvida Raven — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 21:21:44 -0000

I'm loving the Disqus upgrade! Because FriendFeed has integrated it I'm going to install it on my blog (hopefully tonight). On another note, the ability to post back to Twitter will probably have me using FriendFeed a little more yet again. I wonder if anyone will start using FF exclusively instead of another Twitter client...

Awesomesauce! Congrats. I told you about those spelling mistakes. You just wouldn't listen. smh ;)

This is also a new site to look around too, since I've never heard of them before. Oh the fun!

Excellent! I'm going to add that to the list also!

Well I see from your latest post you've gotten the situation sorted out, but I had this same problem with Flickr at one point too. Their unifying system sucks Elua's balls.

Re: I hate the term mommybloggers

Corvida Raven — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 21:07:44 -0000

I find the term pretty irritating, but then again I'm not a mom and a lot of the women who are grouped under this term promote it heavily. I guess in the end it's done more for niche promotion rather than for actual label segregation.

Corvida Raven — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:06:54 -0000

I'm not sure what the problem is with that. I just noticed it yesterday myself. I have to contact Disqus tech support about it. I'm assuming there's a WP code that I need to change in my template??

Damn...I rushed over here to be first lol. Shame, but yeah, Disqus should sort itself out eventually.

Re: 5 things I would like from FriendFeed

Corvida Raven — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 21:50:05 -0000

What about better organization of content duplication? Sometimes I have friends that are sharing the same articles. I'd personally like to see these things grouped together. Articles that are shared on Google Reader, blogs, delicious, and are all the same article needs to be grouped.
