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.

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.

Haven't been spending enough time there lately due to other things that need to get done (*cough* stupid real life *cough*).

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.

Testing an application's limits is probably a good thing, as it drives improvement (like you said).

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.

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.
