Like to get everyone's thoughts on the Wanda Sykes show debut, in terms of its political commentary.

Re: FriendFeed 101: Why You’ve Gotten All Those Follows Lately

kristasphere — Fri, 15 May 2009 17:08:55 -0000

@Myrna: Thanks for visiting Social Flow, first of all. I believe 2 unrelated things that happened within the last week are contributing to the flood of friending that's going on.

1. Within the last week, FriendFeed launched the ability to login with your existing Twitter, Facebook, or Gmail ID and Password. (see above). So, if someone is following you on Twitter, and they sign in to FF, they can automatically find their 'Tweetpeeps" who are also on FriendFeed and "friend" them there as well. Hence the onslaught.

2. Towards the end of this week, Twitter decided to start "dropping" @ reply comments, which prompted what I've called the "FriendFeed Revolution"- people getting frustrated and switching to FriendFeed.

Hope this helps. Please visit again. --KS

Ginger: Great post, first of all! What's disappointing to me is I'm missing conversations. I just posted 2 comments on a post on ff, only to realize after the fact it was 24 hours old, which is now a decade in FriendFeed. What I like about FriendFeed compared to Twitter is the "message board" component - you get quick posts but also interactivity among a diverse group.

Praying for a stop button, Krista

Good recap, Rasheen. I agree the dividing line is going to be the all-real-time-all-the-time-feature. My questoin to the fine folks at Google is: If the various feed icons were confusing to the less-techie among us, isn't your feed rolling by like movie credits going to be even more confusing? (Better yet, if you don't know what they are, how'd you get on friend...never mind.)

Well said Louis. I think you showed a lot of class by handling this the way you did. There are too many big egos and small minds in social media. Thanks for showing us how to handle a conflict with your dignity in tact.

Re: 21 ideas pitched at Triangle Startup Weekend and 4 made the cut. Which one would you start?

Matchucation definitely has legs. Why not expand the idea to matching students with unawarded scholarships, grants, or fellowships? Or unfilled spaces in incoming classes? LIke Priceline for college students?

Full disclosure: I know Brandon from my former employer.

Re: Dear Confused White People, Malia and Sasha Obama are NOT ‘bi-racial’.

kristasphere — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:28:28 -0000

2 Things:

1. I believe it was Thurgood Marshall who said racism is about a "culture" not a "color". We (Black Folks) need to embrace that in order to get past our intraracial prejudices.

2. For what it's worth, my racial makeup is the same as the Obama girls- bi-racial father and black mother. Far as I'm concerned, I'm Black, and call it a day.

PS It was a little painful to see my ex-man Harold Ford Jr. up there since he married someone else, but I'm dealing with it. ;-P

"The Lord is close to those that are broken hearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Many are the tribulations of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of them all."--Psalm 34 (my version, adapted from NRSV)

May you feel God closest to you at this time of heartbreak, Sen. Obama.

Well we are thinking alike.Earlier this afternoon I looked up the "Two Cow Philosophy of Government". It explains the differences between Socialism,Capitalism, Facism, etc using a simple analogy with cows. Excerpt: "Communism=You have two cows. The government takes them both and provides you with milk." Link http://famguardian.org/Subjects/Politics/Articl...
