Re: Social|Median was not a good experience

Well, my experiences with socialmedian weren't that easy either (I blogged about it, too). Although I have to say that Jason Goldberg always was very responsive to messages via mail or on twitter (during closed beta at least). So I continue to follow my normal feedreader and watch out on FriendFeed.

Benedikt: You are absolutely right on this. But a normal user might not reflect much on walled gardens. He will care more on where his friends are.

Is it only about followers? When I look at Twitter I do not only miss some 30 persons who used to follow me, but also another 30 persons I was subscribed to. Will Twitter bring back my subscriptions? And when?

Anyway. Something like that should not happen. How longer to trust the messages you get on Twitter with that bug?

I don't remember your career so far. So please don't mind any wrong propositions...

If you already have a university degree join a startup. This should be the best possible preparation for starting your own company (later). If you don't have a university degree yet - well don't hesitate and join the (best possible) faculty you can get.

Interesting to see how you move on towards "cloudcomputing". But is it only about technology? I think there is quite a portion of experience and (growing) trust guiding people like you or me on that path.

Maybe we should give things a little bit more time to develop. I agree with you that there is quite a lot of senseless conversation on and about FriendFeed. But who know's how FriendFeed will be used in one or two years?

We have to remember, too, that conversations on FriendFeed easily start around topics that are shared by a lot of people. The more special a topic gets, the less likely is a conversation as there might be only a few people (1) understanding it, (2) being now on FriendFeed and (3) being willing to engage.

In the end it might be a question of math! And as people on the street very likely start a conversation about the weather they do it on FriendFeed about FriendFeed. What do you think of this explanation?
