This allows a conversation to develop. I stopped reading the RSS feed b/c it's too static, and I constantly had hundreds of unread items. For now, I'll have to use the web page, until someone writes an AIR app. I really like that FF bolsters items that have more comments and likes, even if they’re not recent.

It was when I looked at my own feed on friendfeed I decided that twittering every blog post I wrote looked like self promotion, reading my own thought process after the fact was mildly embarrassing. The result is I don't twitter my blog posts and I don't read my own friendfeed, other people's are far more interesting anyway.

The site I use to track comments is down, so I couldn't find your comment that way. 'Tis cool that I've been blogged about! Speaking of perspective, that post proves that I don't, after all, know everything about the Web (yet ;-) ). @Jake: Heh, found it on Technorati while I was snooping around at the sudden reputation++ today.

It's pretty nuts how we miss the big picture sometimes, and you make a good point about interests. I guess because there is so much more stuff and people and ways to connect the them that we assume everyone is in the know. Anyway, I like the thread. It's good for perspective. @Voyagerfan5761: This thread became a post. It’s pretty nuts how we miss the big picture sometimes, and you make a good point about interests.

Haven't been spending enough time there lately due to other things that need to get done (*cough* stupid real life *cough*). After reading his article, I'm a little closer to getting why he's famous (being an RSS advocate, not to mention a fan of the Tablet PC, would get him love from the geek crowd). This is almost like figuring out why people Angelina Jolie or [insert name of pop celebrity here]; you don't know who the person is unless you're active or interested in the field in which they are famous. For me, I have no idea who just about any popular musician or film actor is, which shows my incredible geekery. Or not, since I don't know who Scoble is. Hmm... @Jake: Doh! 17,000+ edits to Wikipedia, hours and hours invested, and I forgot about it.

He still carries that reputation even though his days at Microsoft are a distant memory.

Testing an application's limits is probably a good thing, as it drives improvement (like you said). Now the only question that remains is: Where does he get all these contacts/friends/followers/whatever? :D @Jake: Thanks for answering.

Plus, he brings publicity to any network and is considered to be an influencer by many. He's tested Facebook's 5,000 friend limit, he's got 6,800 odd followers on Twitter, and when he joins a network, it tends to test its limits. I don't think this is necessarily bad, since his presence drives the product to improve. Some people think his masses of contacts overwhelm a network. Meh. @Voyagerfan5761: I don’t know if he has a deal per se, but he has loads of friends/contacts/followers making him the equivalent of a storm on any given network.

I don't think Scoble's plan to friend everyone will ultimately work out for him, since it's overwhelming. The average beta user had 4-5 services, so across 300-400 people he friended. Ugh. He's an information junkie. @OE: Good point about thought process, the stream of information makes sense inline, not so much in 10 different places, and that’s more work.

There are already complaints from people that were under the mistaken impression that their FriendFeed comments were not publicly available. The most intriguing part of FriendFeed for me is the ability to follow someone's thought processes. I stumble upon a video, favorite it on YouTube, tweet about it, then blog about it. Then people can comment on how stupid a song "Send Me An Angel" truly is. :) Which reminds me; I don't think my new StumbleUpon account is on FriendFeed; gotta add it.
