wow.... that looks amazing - Jason Calacanis
/me cries. - iMorpheus via twhirl
Awesome Video, Joi!!! Love the shots of you burning the leaves, hanging out in your backyard, and the persimmon at the end is gorgeous. Oh, and the momiji is beautiful too. :-) Great video. So what did you end up using for your workflow? - David Sifry
Anyone see my jaw around here? - scorpusmaximus
I shot 1080 on the 5DMII, imported directly to Final Cut Express, edited there, exported to 720 HD and uploaded to Vimeo - Joi Ito

“I have followed about 500 people on FriendFeed in past three weeks. It's far easier for me to follow you there than on Twitter.”
November 28 at 1:01 pm - Link
If you want me to follow you, just leave me a message here. I am specifically looking for smart people and early adopters. - Robert Scoble
http://friendfeed.com/pixelseb... #openweb #openid #oauth #dataportability et al - Sebastian Küpers
I coudn't agree more, although I can't compare with the number. - Alexandros Georgiadis
smart people? Hey, thanks for the follow, regardless! - rambn
Hi Robert, early adopter and entrepreneur here who likes to think he's smart :) - Terry Smith
Hope I can get on the "smart list" :) - Valeria
rambn: well, everyone is smart until they prove otherwise. That's why we have unfollow. :-) Also, everyone on FriendFeed is a defacto early adopter. I figure that since it took me 1.5 years to understand and use RSS that anyone who joins in the first 1.5-years of a service is a defacto early adopter. That means we have another five months to go. - Robert Scoble
Thanks for following me by the way, Robert. - Tyson Key
Hey Robert, It looks like I fit the criteria. Although, Im doubtful about the 'smart' since Im always broke! :) - Michael G. Galli
Tyson: thanks for bringing me good stuff! - Robert Scoble
hi Scoble, I'm an italian researcher about online cities http://friendfeed.com/turboy ;) - Simone Riccardi
Robert - I'm probably one step off pace and 10 points short IQ to qualify for the honor of being followed by you... - Mike Seidle
Michael: money != smart. Many great people were broke. - Robert Scoble
Giving ya a comment for a follow back. Thanks - Mardee Thompson
I need to level up to "smart" - Ernie Oporto
"I listen to bands that don't exist yet" - Kevin Morris
I was already following you on Twitter and Friendfeed. I'm trying to learn how to use Friendfeed. Twitter is not helping me make strong connections & alliances and I cannot succeed until I can make connections. I'm an early adopter and hope I'm smart in doing so. - Jannifer Stoddard
@Scobleizer Hmm, I think you're already subscribed to me - here's a few suggestions though (ccg, bmevans, netzoo, gebl, hifisamurai, ochua1) - Enrique Gutierrez via twhirl
Why did it take you 1.5 years to learn how to use RSS? - Amani
Jannifer: building strong connections is still difficult here, but is much easier here than on Twitter because you can have conversations around one topic, like we are here. - Robert Scoble
music + a user generated world that consumes media through non linear networks = a new form of non linear social music - Dizzy Banjo
I run www.Newte.ch and do marketing research. Just started using PeopleBrowsr and love it! - Lars Vedo
Thanks Robert, I keep telling myself that, appreciate the support :) I am the king of early adoption though and tech, so I have decided to throw my hat in the game and will have my own tech/gadget/review/ blog-site up for 2009. Its about time I did what I always wanted to do! - Michael G. Galli
Robert, why are you finding FF easier than Twitter? You're welcome to follow me - I'm an Internet industry person (CEO, Sonic.net, independent bay area ISP) - Dane Jasper
Did U tried TweetDeck? you could build groups in similar ways as here on FF. - Francois "Shoob" Lamotte
Amani: cause I'm really not that smart. Also, back when Dave Winer first showed it to me I wasn't feeling enough pain to push me into using it. Eventually the pain got worse and worse until I finally asked Dave about it again and started using it. - Robert Scoble
In my opinion, RSS is something that has no learning curve (it took me less than 2 minutes to figure out how to use them), although it's a Your Mileage May Vary thing... - Tyson Key
Friendfeed is better to have longer conversations. more space for one. - Sofia Gkiousou
Francois: yes, I like TweetDeck but I do a lot of my FriendFeeding on my iPhone. Dane: FriendFeed is better for a whole lot of reasons. I need to do a video on why. Threading is one reason. - Robert Scoble
Hi Robert. I'm a web content and seo strategist always on the hunt for cool web apps/design. (also wrote the Digital Needs section of Seagate.com.) Pick me, Pick me! - Doug Vanisky
Robert, are you the most prolific frienfeeder? If not, then I would be suprised ;-) - Julien
Hi Rob - I hope I meet the high standard of the other 500 people you've added. Cheers! - Eric
I work in the social media space but only within the home furnishings vertical. Thanks for the invite! - Leslie Carothers
follow me! I'm smart and early - it's 6:30 a.m.! Have a great time in Barcelona :) - Corinna Makris
No South Africans on the list, yet...pick me! (although I may be a bit random for you...haha). And @carlspies @palesa08 @xsyn @singe @robstokes @uberEllis - Roger Saner
Julien: nope, I'm not the most prolific. This service keeps track of stuff like that: http://www.ffholic.com/ - Robert Scoble
Does Smart mean a comment such as "Pick me, Pick Me"? - Yatin Vadhia
Hey, Robert. Good idea -- I wish more people I follow on Twitter were using FriendFeed. - Omar Gallaga
Robert Follow Me www.lessnau.com - John Lessnau
totally agree that FriendFeed makes it much easier to *really* follow more people. - Kevin
It would be great to go along and rethink things together - Vitaly Pimenov
Aloha Robert! Absorb your tweets like a sponge fish. New on FriendFeed, but I'm a quick study. Scour posts for inovation, always looking to push to the next level. Testing new formats to be revealved shortly. Tweets @AlohaArleen - Arleen Anderson
looking forward to see how many messages this post will get. anyway, greetings from mexico! - Enrique De La Torre
I would like if you follow me. Thanks! - Kyle Reddoch
Thanks to all the new people. Remember to put your Twitter feed into FriendFeed, along with your blog, your Flickr stream, your video streams, and more. That way I can get to know you by following you here. - Robert Scoble
I am following everyone here now except for those who have private feeds. - Robert Scoble
Anyone else on Profilactic too, out of interest? - Tyson Key
Legistraight.org, a recently launched public policy wiki. We are also compiling a comprehensive list of Financial Crisis resources. On Twitter (@legistraight), created this FriendFeed acct just for you Robert. http://legistraight.org - Legistraight.org
Hiya Robert. Count me in if you like! ;) - Erin McMahon
Arguably smart and not the absolutely last adopter. - That Software Guy
Ok, I'm waiting for a follow, @dfletcher on Twitter, went to Barcelona recently. Great destination. Enjoy! Is this your first trip to Spain? - Dave Fletcher
Dave: yeah, it's our first trip to Spain. - Robert Scoble
Dave: I see you are the CTO for state of Utah. You should meet Jesse Stay. He's here on FriendFeed too at http://friendfeed.com/jessesta... - Robert Scoble
Smarter than who? I'm young and as smart as me. - İbrahim Uzun
Second time lucky! - Jonathan Greensted
Hope you have a great time. Endless number of sights to see around Barcelona. Don't miss Sagrada Familia and Gaudi architecture. Nice beach south at Castelldefells and Sitges is a cool sidetrip. - Dave Fletcher
it's thanks to you Robert that I started to use FF and I think it's great idea - Ioana Monica Muntean
Thanks to all the new people I'm now following 4,500 people on FriendFeed. Wild. - Robert Scoble
Robert, your real time feed must be flying. can you still read it following that many people? - Mark Schulz
Hello Robert, I'm a 13-year-old designer, developer, and entrepreneur. I'm part of a new company, 9Miles Media. Thank you. ;) - Melik Yuksel
Hey Robert.. another Bay Area adopter here (@goyato) .. artist, writer, and digital dabbler. Been on FF for a little while, but haven't really started following too many. Thanks for the push. - Yato Yoshida
i'm spending a lot of time trying to great groups of folks... is it possible to make your groups public? - Jason Calacanis
@Melik Yuksel - Yet another upcoming Young 'Feeder? (I'm only 5 years older than you, to be honest, and also new to FriendFeed). I look forward to see where you take this crazy train! ;) - Tyson Key
Hi Robert, being an early adopter is what got me into doing a start-up in the first place ;-) I'm the product manager of Secondbrain.com - where I'm trying to to help people cope with all the content they put up on all the new services they join. - Johan Høgåsen-Hallesby
Jason: I haven't figured out a way for me to share my group with you, but you can click on http://www.friendfeed.com/scob... and see everyone I'm subscribed to. I manually added each of the 4,500. So I guess you'll have to do it the hard way too. - Robert Scoble
Hey Robert, I'm a veteran UX designer and entrepreneur (mostly for the financial industry) currently starting up a company called Thropic (@thropic) that specializes in t-shirt fundraising. Would love to dialog via FF. Cheers- Miguel - Miguel Rodriguez
me i am only ne:) - aykut karaalioglu
I'm not sure if I'm smart, but I'm somewhat of an early adopter. Yep. :) - Bryan Villarin
I'm still learning FF's advantages, but an early enough adopter to be here already, and smart enough to take you up on your offer. :) - James Dickey
Been on FF for a short time. One of the best things that happened to me for now! - Ms. B
@Tyson Key - I like to think that. ;) I'm also new to FriendFeed, quite frankly, I don't know which part of it to start from. :) - Melik Yuksel
twitter is not conducive to following people its good for now but not the recent past - Trevor Cook
Wow we're plenty here. Don't know if it's 'clever' to stand in the line but it's late over here in Athens, raining and not a bad idea to...take cover :) - Vicki Kolovou
Hello Robert, been on here for a while, but I find I still use Twitter more (same username). As Chief Architect for a networking software company, I keep up with new developments, and even create some of them :-) - John
early adopter - John Munro
Wow, the real-time feed is faster than the Gentoo IRC channel on FreeNode, and that is often one Hell of a high-traffic channel (I hated being in it, the first time I used IRC). - Tyson Key
Great to have met you Robert at Blogworld Expo. Check my 12sec friendfeed post for my flip video talk with you. - James Guske
12 Seconds with Scoble?!? - Josh Chandler
He probably got the entire New Testament in that 12 seconds! - jamesdkirk
hi robert, we're both following each other on twitter. would love to see you following on FF, too! thanks :D - henry
@Melik Yuksel - Take note, you'll probably find that FriendFeed consumes quite a lot of your time, once you get into the swing of things (I get the XMPP feed and struggle to sift through it). I'm still a moderate Twitterer though (I do about 10 posts a day roughly - sometimes more, sometimes none at all, though). - Tyson Key
More of a "learning the value of early adoption" kind of guy which makes me a johnny come lately of sorts... inspired by Twitter, intrigued by FF... and excited about my new account with PeopleBrowsr. - Matson Breakey
I could hope I would be added to the smart list. Yee-ha! - Christian Messer
Josh: I wouldn't know how to do it. :-) - Robert Scoble
Hey Robert - great to follow you on FB and twitter - connect on Friendfeed too? Saw your post on twitter on being an early adopter. As an entrepreneur and SBO following "techie stuff" is important to keep biz running - so I'm a wellness coach and naturopathic consultant who is also a geek. - Antonia Teixeira
++++++++++OK, I got everyone above here will need to add everyone else tonight, thanks! +++++++ - Robert Scoble
thought you already followed me here, but looks like not. - Katherine Druckman
Hey Robert, I'm always looking for new products to test and experiment with. Saw your post on Twitter. - Stefan Halley
Robert, the energy and time it takes to be friends with 150 people in the 'real' world is the limit for most humans. Dunbar number etc. FB automated the 'social graph' i.e the map of our real world relationships. But still demands increasing energy and time to maintain authentic relationships. Twitter is a real 'evolutionary' breakthrough because with a minimum of energy you can staying in 'grooming' range of thousands of people. Is there a Twitter number i.e. the maximum number of people you can follow? - Mac Taylor
I might be a smart people to follow but you never know. Seriously, I think it would be fun. :-) - Dragos Roua
Mac: depends on your goal. If it is to drink beer with everyone on your list, then Dunbar number probably comes into play, although I've probably tripled that and have met more than 10,000 people face-to-face (I have 8,000 business cards from just past eight years). But, if you just want to "snack" on a media stream like my real time feed, then you can follow 20,000 without a problem. On FriendFeed it is better, though. I can have "high flow" stream and "low flow" stream that I watch much closer. - Robert Scoble
In my "low flow" (Called a "list" here on FriendFeed) I've only put about 200 people. It's interesting to see the difference between the two. One is much more focused. The high flow is much more entertaining (more cool YouTube videos and LOLcat photos, etc). - Robert Scoble
I quite like using Twhirl though - but on the other hand I don't have a massive amount of followers! - Jim
I still don't get Friend Feed. Anyone got a good video tutorial? - MarkCarras
Oh why not... I'm doing my share of searching for news, so Scoble should hop on as well. ;) - Jorg Jansen
Only problem is there isn't a single apparent friendfeed app on iPhone - Scott
Follow me because I'm a legal community manager at Avvo - seadevi
Robert - I'm smart cause I can see your offer to follow me is one I can't refuse. I'm an early adopter in manner of following the uber-early adopters so they iron out the new gadget and techy kinks and suchlike. I was already following you btw on Twitter. Not sure I quite get FF yet though. - nicky jameson
Wow, look at this comment thread, awesome!! :) Lots of cool people, I am subscribing to here...thanks Robert! - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
Robert, I am somewhat of an early adopter and I hope it makes me smart. I ran a computer business for 11 years and now I am trying to help others learn the business of tech. It seems some of my associates don't think there is value in social networking. I hope that by connecting with respected names who are early adopters of social networks such as Friendfeed and Twitter they will understand that such services can be quite useful in marketing their businesses and supporting their customers. - Rick Savoia
I'm loving Twitter, need to explore FF a bit more. You never know where you will get inspiration from. - Dave Kresta
Hi Robert. Actually I'm a huge fan of yours and until now was a lurker, so thanks for the coaxing to come out and introduce myself. :-) I'm an early adopter and given your high praise of FriendFeed, consider myself smart enough to create an account today to join in the conversation. I tweet as well @belindasimcox and am looking forward to seeing the effect your following me has. PS. A big thanks to your generous tweet attitude - I get your tweets sent to my iPhone - they beat the newspaper any day - Belinda Simcox (Sim)
Hello - I am a MD/PhD working in the field of medical informatics and studying the use of social networks as a model for expanding our work at the New York State Department of Health in patient/clinician medical networks.

"Today, visitors to Apple's online store were greeted with an interesting teaser. "Lots of gifts, 1 day not to miss," Apple boasts on their page regarding the after-Thanksgiving sale. According to the details Apple posted, they will not be revealing their deals until Black Friday, so it looks like we'll have to wait just a little longer." - Chris Messina via Mento

“Dave Winer says I FriendFeed too much and unfollowed. I wonder how do you know the "right" amount? Discuss here:”
November 25 at 11:02 am - Link
Doesn't bother me anymore, I just hide entries as soon as they seem uninteresting to me now. - Chris White
http://www.friendfeed.com/scob... shows my output. Is it too much? How would you cut it back? - Robert Scoble
More than to little and less than too much? I think it's probably bound to how you use the service. If you follow everyone in the home list and try to watch EVERYTHING than fewer updates are probably better. If you accept you won't see everything and segregate things you care about seeing into lists so you can keep a closer eye on them then updating all the time is probably more acceptable - matthew john ernisse
Completely subjective... Dave might also think you talk too much at happy hour... other people not so much. You can't please everyone so F*** it and just be yourself. - Brian Roy
What does he mean you friendfeed too much? - Monique
Since I don't read all FriendFeed entries, there's no such thing as "too much" - unless one person is completely dominating my feed, which is unlikely since I'm following a few hundred people. - Ontario Emperor
There's a right amount? I guess it depends on how many people you're following. I am following close to 400 I think and your posts don't drown other people out... If I were only following you maybe it would seem like you posted "too much"... Everyone has a different tolerance, I think. - Lindsay Donaghe
There is no too much and there is no not enough. One man's noise is another woman's community. ;) Or something... - Erin Kotecki Vest
Think of your FF activity like a mini-skirt: keep it short enough to keep it interesting but long enough to cover the subject. (The same rule applies for blooging.) - Peter Simard
Robert, you certainly seem active but certainly nowhere near too much. I make plenty of good discoveries through your Likes. Don't stop. - Dion Hinchcliffe
Brian: that is my goal! :-) - Robert Scoble
The right amount is apparently the amount Dave can follow in the time he's allotted. - Ken Sheppardson
Dosent bother me either. You don't boycot the newspaper becuase its got too many pages to it. You buy it cause you know thers gonna be some useful pieces of insight - i rarely read every article in my Sunday Times, but I always will find a few really intersting articles in there. - Roberto Bonini
"Don't let the [cyber] door hit you on the way out" :{> - Andy Leonard
I am subscribed to you, Robert, and about 200 odd other people, and I HARDLY see your posts come up. - Monique
I think when you overcome the anxiety that you might be missing something important you use friendfeed better. At the end of the day if anyone things you Friedfeed too much why not put you in a list "for later" and peruse your entries at their leisure? Posting too much would be annoyind without the use of lists (your posts would end up hiding everything else) but if you use the tools provided you'll be ok. - Sofia Gkiousou
a stream is never big enough :) - george tziralis
Robert, I just looked at your feed. Doesn't look like an overburdensome amount to me. - Ontario Emperor
Frankly, Robert, you aren't doing enough. KEEP UP WITH THE REST OF US. :) - Secret Ninja Steven
FriendFeed too much? No such thing. Too much for Winer? Completely subjective. (Yes! I left out the silly puns!) - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
I found out that I would rather use FriendFeed as my capture, muse, and announce entry and let it echo to twitter rather than the other way around. Biggest reason is avoiding the SMS limit and having one RSS feed that captures all of my activity. I go to twitter from my phone, but I only accept directs there. - Dennis E. Hamilton via twhirl
Personally if someone got noisy but still had value I would separate them onto a list. - Robert Scoble
That is the point... I want to miss about 98% of it. I just want to engage in conversations with people I find interesting. We act like this is somehow different than any other conversation venue... - Brian Roy
Good 'ol Dave Winer really knows how to make friends and influence people. He blocked me on Twitter when he didn't like what I said in reply to him. Considering the source, I wouldn't give it a second thought. Keep it coming! - Scott Maentz
When did Friendfeed become a verb? :) - Jeannie Walters
I just had a small altercation with Dave as well -- maybe to quote Mona N "he had some bad oatmeal" ? - Brian Sullivan
And you have pretty erratic habits, RS. By that I mean you will be off doing the Scobleizer thing and then get a few moments and "slam" FF with your time and focus. I'm guessing if there was some sort of chart for activity on FF to time, you're activities would be pretty spikey, but not more or less than most other "active" folks. Just my thoughts, I could be wrong ;) - jamesdkirk
Dave just has it in for FF because his 140 character pearls of wisdom often don't stand up to the scrutiny that a conversation on FF surrounding the comment can sometimes provide. - Aaron Krug
@Scott Maentz now, now, then, then - usually the truth lies somewhere in between ;-) This is part of the larger conversation around walled/open, access and influence vs. (what's the opposite of that?), etc. @Bria Roy reflects what we probably all do - "it does not matter until it becomes important" is the new "I'll know it when I see it" :D - Valeria Maltoni
You are only allowed 12.370 posts per day according to posting.limits.on.friendfeed.makes.no.sense.com... :-) - Seagate
Just taken a look at your feed and frankly don't think it's enough. You having an off day? - Nicola Quinn
Scoble is trolling for followers.... - Wilma Stoneflint
Nicola: I just got up! Give me a few more minutes! :-) Jamesdkirk: I'm spiky because I'm not always online. I do sleep and yesterday I was off doing interviews. - Robert Scoble
Yes, I agree... it's a bit too much. When I'm on FriendFeed, it's several pages of Scoble before I see anything else. - Mason Blake
@Scobleizer - "Personally if someone got noisy but still had value I would separate them onto a list."... exactly. Being unfollowed by someone who provides valuable content to a content powered site, regardless of quantity, is done simply by lack of understanding of the application. - Enrique Gutierrez
Wilma: no, I don't need those. I do want to have conversations with smart people and Dave's one of the people I love having conversations with. - Robert Scoble
the comments you are getting says it all, there can't be too much FFding!! - Devakishor
Are we really talking about this? Who gives a crap what Winer thinks? F him. That is all. Let's stop talking about noise and move on. - TeenageMutantNinjaWilson
scoble is a noise maker and evangelist by profession. njoy or leave him alone :) - george tziralis
The best thing about these tools is that they adapt to whatever each user wants - I'm not saying anything groundbreaking by saying that its up to each user to decide for themselves what role they want something like FriendFeed to play in their lives. I don't know why he didn't just file you into your own list and yank you out of his main stream - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
I agree with Enrique, FriendFeeds lists allow you to create interesting subsets of your full follow cloud. Now if you could only add track terms to lists-- you might have something. - Cliff Gerrish
Mason: funny, when I start FriendFeed I don't see any Scoble posts. :-) - Robert Scoble
There is no such thing as too much. Grouping our connections is necessary to keep data and connections meaningful, actionable and manageable. I think folks are struggling with that piece, and will continue to until we find better aggregation techs/methods. FriendFeed is a step in the right direction... but hardly a silver bullet. - Paul Daigle
Marco: that's the right way to handle someone who goes noisy. Just put them in their own little folder, er, list, and remove them from your main feed. Of course I do the opposite. I keep all the noisy people in my main feed and put all the high signal, low-noise people on my tech list. - Robert Scoble
It is completely down to the individual what they think is too much, I wouldn't worry too much if someone unfollows you because of it. - Richard
dave has personal issue of some kind, unless he can clarify his point by explaining in detail, it holds no substance. - imran
Richard: am I worried? No. I just used it to start a conversation. 45 comments in 18 minutes. Wow. - Robert Scoble
you cannot friendfeed too much. We don't have good filters to find what the 5% of your updates most relevant to me. - Phil Wolff via Alert Thingy
i just check and see whether there is any value being added to what i already know or want to know .. if none or insignificant, i unfollow as well..as a rule, i dont follow those recommends most of whom have little more than personal/insider twitts...i dont really care how famous/savvy/rich FFer is. i only care about his/her contents..that simple. - Hayk
Phil: yeah, it's hard to know what in FriendFeed really will be interesting to us individually but I've found that a high percentage of the time my interests actually align with those of the crowd. Well, except when it comes to manboobs. I hid all those, even though they all started a ton of conversation and got lots of likes. - Robert Scoble
@Scobleizer - also easier to follow international stuff here vs. Twitter where it gets drowned. There's multi sensory info - images, comments, likes and you can see "communities of conversation" more easily (more 360). - Valeria Maltoni
I like your activity on FriendFeed much more than Twitter. Twitter is a 10-20 time a day MAX activity... FF is a 20-200x a day system. I think that is how it will hash out. - Jason Calacanis
I'd rather have too much information than too little. I'm sure you would still disseminate the same amount of info even if you were the last person on this planet. - James Hoang
I quite like it. I don't follow a huge amount of people so there is quite a lot of quiet time for me when you're busy doing other things. Gives me stuff to go back and look at in the mornings too as youre on a different time shift. - Simon Wicks
Oh, he's just crabby. You are quite clear both on FF and Twitter that you're a very active user, so followers should caveat emptor and learn to deal. - Sheila Scarborough
In regards to how do you can personally gauge what is 'too much' - this is something Ive been working on via http://TweepleTwak.com. Having visibility of spikes in "unfollows" has been helpful in identifying the causes within tweets. Still there is no perfect science :-) - Josh
It would also be different if the content you post was uninteresting... Like Simon, I don't follow too many, so my feed is pretty under control. - Victoria/Plautia
Josh: I get lots of unfollows, but they usually are included with 10x as many follows. So, maybe pissing off some of your audience some of the time is a good thing? - Robert Scoble
Following for me is more about volume and value. If there are too many low value posts, I'm going to unfollow. At the moment, you seem to have hit the right balance for me. True, lots of posts, but most are interesting. - rogersdc (Chris)
I tend to ignore Twitter for the same reasons. Too much noise and hard to get the context. Friendfeed is much better and usually the content is more valuable. Your content onFriendfeed is actually relatively informative. Keep posting. - Jeremy Chone
There is no perfect amount and you'll never please everyone. I'm typically interested in what you post on FriendFeed and Twitter - I will say that I did prefer them to be separate. Since I follow you on both services - I don't necessarily want to see your FriendFeed items on Twitter. - Kasey
Isn't Dave the one who always says "If you don't like what I say, just unfollow, but don't slam the door behind you?" hmmm - Bill Kellogg
with all the filters that Friendfeed has, there is really no need to unfollow anybody - Nikos Anagnostou
Bill: Dave didn't say anything. I noticed he unfollowed and I asked him why. - Robert Scoble
There is no right or wrong amount as everyone has different tolerance levels! - Joe Dawson (beta)
I'd like to see the top ff users make a list of the top tricks to use with ff to get it working the way you see best. - Pete Barry
That's not an accurate quote -- I would never say that, and people, imho have a right to sign off or on at will. Joe Dawson gets it exactly right, you should keep doing what you want and don't worry about people who unfollow. I don't like it when people send a nastygram when they unfollow, and I also don't like to be called out when I unfollow. - Dave Winer
Re Bill Kellogg, I hope he checks back here. People really pay attention to this stuff. You gotta be more careful with the quotes.(Just read the whole thread, what an embarassment.) - Dave Winer
Dave, here's the quote: http://friendfeed.com/e/326288... "I stopped following you for the same reason a lot of people stop following me -- you're so prolific! You're half the traffic I'd see on Twitter or FF. I was OD'ing on Scoble! I've already been Scobleized. It's time for other people to get the Treatment." -
