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...

Really? Do you have an example?

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.

Amount of followers to a person who has been using Twitter for awhile=worthless. Amount of followers to a person who is new to Twitter=Very Important. I'm just worried about people taking the advice of someone who has more perceived authority then they actually do... No money. But lots of jobs, business knowledge and important info gets passed around Twitter. In fact I've been concentrating on Twitter as one of my main sources for trying to find both consulting work and a marketing job.

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 Norvig — 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.

Laura, thanks for noticing the use of the word "buttload". I believe
this is an official louisgray.com first!

Re: Is This Stupid?: You Heard It Hear First: Bacon Can Be Part of a Healthy Diet

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: Is This Stupid?: You Heard It Hear First: Bacon Can Be Part of a Healthy Diet

IsThisStupid — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 15:05:32 -0000

Good thing I just ate, or you would be making me hungry! As for nitrates,
there are several brands that are nitrate and preservative free. I know
Oscar Meyer makes one that is in most the 'normal' grocery stores around
here. Applewood Farms (I think) also makes a really good nitrate free bacon.
Granted, they cost more, but it's not like you're eating a pound a day,
right?

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.

Looking forward to hearing more about this tool, Rob!

To a certain extent, however, the problem with the comments kind of boils down to turf wars. One or two services need to emerge as the leaders, I think.

I find it ironic that, as I'm posting this, Mashable is offering me the option of posting this comment on Twitter, Friendfeed, and Ping. Since I don't know if the comment would be threaded properly, I certainly am not going to choose any of those options. I think it's still helpful if the main conversation takes place on the blog, if a blog is involved, and in one of the comments or in an update, the blog author can point to other conversations as needed.

Great synopsis of the basics! You mentioned wanting to cluster different rooms into one rich feed. If I understand your need correctly, rest assured this capability already exists. Simply add rooms to a list instead of (or in addition to) people. I have several food-related rooms in one list, nonprofit-related rooms in another, friendfeed-related rooms in another. Works great!

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?

Re: 2008/09/06/like-soft-porn-try-friendfeed-now/

Laura — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:46:20 -0000

Sorry, I should clarify, I'm talking about one particular user who's feed was the most incriminating (in the sense that it was very clear he would not want his video watching habits exposed). Lots of people had soft porn exposed that night, but most of them probably shrugged it off as, "yeah, I'm human, so what?"

Re: 2008/09/06/like-soft-porn-try-friendfeed-now/

Laura — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 04:06:39 -0000

OK, it kind of cracks me up that you say the guy "had already gone to sleep" when the potentially damaging favorites showed up.

This guy has never posted on friendfeed and is subscribed to only three people. Only one person is subscribed to him. His feed consists of one page with 21 tweets dating back to October and two stumble posts, plus last night's three errant youtube favorites. I kinda doubt if he even remembers he has a friendfeed account. But eventually that page is going to become googleable and bite him in he ass.

Laura — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 12:30:33 -0000

Dario, that is not the person in question. There was another video favorited by a mostly inactive FriendFeeder that was potentially much more damaging for a variety of reasons.

I blogged this too, right when it happened - http://socmedswim.blogspot.com/2008/09/one-nigh...

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
