in Who Is That New Follower? Ask Socialwhois on Mashable - The Social Media Guide
Hi Adam and thanks for the review!
Actually, socialwhois is more than a flat directory. The whois part is just a feature of it. What makes it "special" is connecting people by interests rather than popularity wich is IMHO wrong "by design". The more people sahre your interests, the more likely you'll have better interractions with them. If I'm looking for some help in, say, Python programming, I know who to ask. If I want to chat about jazz, I know who are interested too :)

in NoiseRiver developer quits FriendFeed, says LOLCats to blame on The Inquisitr
Duncan, thanks for your good words, though I humbly think that it's really not worth an article. See? You call me directeur (a nick) This is exactly what I'm about. I believe that content is more interesting than people and friendfeed is shifting interst from "feeds" to "people". And to end the rumor, no, I'm not closing Noiseriver. It's still available at http://www.noiseriver.com

I take your point, and that I don't actually know your first name most certainly does go to your argument. I can only apologize, and I'm sorry that I never learnt it, I should have, and there is zero excuses.
Re: the rumor: just read it elsewhere, great to see you're keeping it up.

re: not being worth a post, yes, true. It started as NoiseRiver shut, and I'd nearly finished it when Louis was kind enough to email me saying that it wasn't shut down. I hate wasting a post, and the whole thing about the changing content on FriendFeed is something I've been tossing up for a post now for well over a month, so I ran it anyway

in louisgray.com: NoiseRiver Shuts Down After Developer Ditches FriendFeed on louisgray.com
Louis, yes, I should have closed it ;-) No seriously... Thanks for the attention! I really appreciate it. I doubt that i'll really be back on Friendfeed... It's a combination of two parameters: people and the tool. For the "people" part. It's the way it is since the very first day of this planet. For the tool part, I still humbly think that the web MUST evolve to much smartness using concepts like Attention Profiling (APML).

Directeur -
I've created a FF Real Time to XMPP feed. Folks want keyword filters, etc. What would be cool is if their NoiseRiver account became the front end for the XMPP feed.
Otherwise I'll have to build the keyword filters/etc myself. Interested?

in louisgray.com: NoiseRiver Shuts Down After Developer Ditches FriendFeed on louisgray.com
Louis, I'm not closing it actually. It's just a technical issue with DNS. The website is still available on http://www.noiseriver.com (working on getting the naked domain working again) This said, I won't close NoiseRiver because I'm leaving :)

Directeur, if NoiseRiver is not closing, then it completely
invalidates this post. Now, you almost have to keep it down, just to
make it right. :-)
I hope it does return, and that your leaving FriendFeed is similarly
incorrect. Stick around.
