Even if you have few friends, the amount of useless data that it gives you is enormous! Stay clear of that tool! It's just an RSS reader with a "social" feel to it.

We're also getting too old to be cool. Just fucking pay me money already.

]]> <![CDATA[Why Silicon Valley just won't shut up about FriendFeed]]> What is the connection, exactly, between seesmic and friendfeed? I know there is one, because every single seesmic user is also a friendfeed user. If it was addressed in the article, sorry tl;dr

Sounds like nice work if you can get it.

What Friendfeed thing do I subscribe to in order to get Valleywag comments? So far I'm only subscribed to YOU and I might as well still be using Twitter as most of the posts are about as useful as what people had for lunch (if in fact that is not what the post is about).

What you folks in the echo chamber fail to realize is that in most cases these things will never catch on with a mainstream user base.

There just seems to be too little between the try-everything-once Scoble and the trying-to-make-my-printer work Mossberg.

I'm trying to help you guys out here.

I try these things out because I like trying out new things and seeing whether or not they work. FriendFeed is very interesting. Why? Well, I found this headline on FriendFeed.

Scoble and others do the same thing, and with such regularity that it is hard not to suspect something more than just tech-tard enthusiasm going on. Maybe one time in ten these things turn into advertising deals, or maybe there are somewhat informal "options" involved in some of the companies too tiny to have to do formal reporting on such things.

Whatever... eventually the "journalists" who engage in this bipolar behavior will lose credibility. Already I find them not so much a source for what's good, but just what's new, leaving quite a void for someone to fill who has the technical credentials to make good judgment calls rather than just jumping on the latest bandwagon.

]]> <![CDATA[Why Silicon Valley just won't shut up about FriendFeed]]> This article was under discussion yesterday on Twitter, but only in that the NYT seems to have found a non-addict. Even a lightweight can manage 20 Tweets before breakfast, and while I don't post videos, I DO post Valleywag comments, which demonstrates even higher addiction, doesn't it? Wasn't Scoble available for an interview that day?
