 in Blogging, Social Media
.

FriendFeed Marshall McLuhan (a Canadian) coined the phrase "the medium is the message" to describe that the profound impact of television and other media on society was more important than the impact of the content itself.  Recently, a lot of discussion has been taking place about FriendFeed’s noise versus its signal.  I contend that the impact that FriendFeed has on the Social Web is greater than that of the content it aggregates.  Excuse me as I coyly coin the phrase: “FriendFeed is the signal.”

Twit-Out: 24-Hour Twitter Boycott

May 15, 2008
 in Social Media
.

Twit-Out Twitter users are becoming more and more frustrated with outages and blips in service and look more and more willing to turn their words into action.  This has never been more evident as of recently when discussions on FriendFeed have created a unified effort to get the attention of the Twitter community. As a result, Twit-Out was created.  Twit-Out is (for a lack of a better term) a boycott of Twitter on Wednesday, May 21st.  Read more about this on posts by Andrew Dobrow and Bwana McCall, even picked up on the Buzz Out Loud podcast.

Fixing the Twitter Skew on FriendFeed

March 26, 2008
 in Social Media
.

First off, I love FriendFeed. Despite the disappointment of many, I think it has some real value. Why?

  1. Aggregation saves me time and gives me an opportunity to see content I probably would have missed.
