Well, this link will show you all the comments they've made in the Friendfeed Feedback room. They let people who ask for features know whether or not that feature is in development. And if there is an actual bug reported by a user they are quite fast at fixing it. http://friendfeed.com/search?q=comment%3Aana%2C...

Wait, Friendfeed is developer-centric? Kinda ... but not really. They listen to their users.

Re: Are you using Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter differently?

Laura_N — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 19:39:14 -0000

I will just echo what AlliFlowers said. The only reason I even have a Facebook account is that I am curious about all forms of social media. As it turns out, I have connected with old friends and distant relatives on there. Twitter is a fabulous listening tool for me, and once I build my network a bit larger, I know I will be able to "crowdsource" answers to interesting questions as well. LinkedIn is kind of an obligatory thing in case anyone needs to look me up or if I ever end up job hunting again.

It sucks that people do this but it doesn't bother me because 1) I would never follow someone based solely on their number of followers and 2) I would never turn on autofollow. I don't understand why people do that. I don't feel any obligation to follow people who follow me. I follow people who are interesting. Is there really something to be gained by having lots of followers? Is there money in this game yet?

Re: louisgray.com: Scoble Starts His FriendFeed/Twitter Monetization Strategy

Laura_N — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 02:04:32 -0000

Personally, I think this is a non-issue, but I am curious as to one thing. Scoble is suggesting people order it so they can be the first to get a v2., and if they don't get a 2 just return it. So if a sale is made, does he get his affiliate cut even if the person returns it? If so, then this is a scam that could be milked ad infinitum. But it can't be that way - I think I just answered my own question.

Yeah, Paul, tell George about your home based business!

Amen, Sister! I will now go forth and consume my bacon guilt free! Um, what about the nitrates and nitrites and all that? Waffling now. Mmmmmmm, waffles.

Re: louisgray.com: Twitter Followers Spiking As Service Increases Momentum

You said, "buttload" hehe. Nice post as always. Here's how the increase looks from a lowly plebe's perspective: Average followers per day since August = 1. Average followers per day this week = 5.

If you think that launching Rooms was part of what contributed to your growth, please, please, please make the rooms easier to discover and promote them more. You could have a page featuring the most active rooms, the biggest rooms, etc.

I love FriendFeed and to the sourpuss who said "you can see what boring people share", I have to respectfully and wholeheartedly disagree. FriendFeed is an important professional development tool for me, and it does it quicker than any other method I can think of. I look forward to its continuing development.

You know what? Babies R Us is not listening. The music industry is not listening. Yet. They will be soon, and then we'll all be seeking services that will help us control whether or not commercial enterprises can see our lifestreams. Hmm, are you listening would-be startups?

OK, I may be ignorant here, since I've never started a FF room before, but by joining that room, aren't you going to get ALL of the feeds I have asked FF to share (blog, twitter, flickr), not just my bookmarks? Or do you have the ability to tell the room, "just bring in this person's bookmarks"? My feed, btw, is http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/lnorvig

Among those responding on friendfeed, there were a lot more "yes" es! Some of us (myself included) didn't bother to select the "reply via twitter" option, methinks. There's about 60 replies on there!

Re: No one actually “follows” 2,000 people

Laura_N — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:02:48 -0000

I don't think there are many bragging rights for following lots of people. Being followed, now that's a different story.

Re: Let's pick a day and all inflate our tires together (Scripting News)

Laura_N — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:36:02 -0000

Not everyone can afford shiny new cars with shiny new tires. Those of us with older tires need to check tire pressure way more frequently than 3000 miles (for me, once a week).
