Re: Considering the cult of celebrity

Kinda not sure what to say, other than I thought my site was going to be under the "camera whore" link. I mean that in a non-narcissistic way. I'm supremely pissed off that it wasn't, but... eh, you can make it up to me the next time we meet. By then, I'll be namedropping with the best of 'em! Oh, did you see my tweet about who I had lunch with the other day? It was amazing, and you weren't there.

You're in this for the right reasons, and for that reason... you'll continue to succeed. You may live down under, but you're on top in my book. Not that I would know if you happen to be someone who likes it on... nevermind. I'm outta here. Gotta find a place with more ego.

Yeah, but now she's taking the whole "I don't understand" thing to a completely new level. :P

Social networks are communications tools, BCK. ;)

Interesting perspective, albeit short-sighted.

You assume that everyone who might have a modicum of interest in something I might pass along is only interested in the same services I'm interested in. What, then, do I do if 4 people want to follow me on Plurk? Do I force them to use a network they'd rather not use? You're thinking of the paradigm completely bass-ackwards.

I have people who only follow me on MySpace. I don't like MySpace, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't publish there if they're giving me the opportunity to do so - and if certain friends only wish to follow me there.

I signed up for the services to keep my followers in touch - and for no other reason. How many IM accounts do you have? Rather, do you use an IM client like Pidgin? Why not make your friends communicate with you through one service (AIM) over any other (Yahoo, MSN, Jabber, etc.). Do you only communicate to "Jabber" friends?

My identity is central to myself, but these various services splinter my ability to centralize my interests and perspectives online.

You have to think about this a biiiiiiiiiiiiit more before making wild-eyed accusations.

I resemble that remark. Of course, I'm also remarking on the permalink for this post rather than the FriendFeed thread for it. Weiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiird.

Precisely. It's difficult to tell what these numbers mean. Not that I'm arguing with my position within 'em. :)

...so, has anybody bothered to find out what's going to happen with Flickr / del.icio.us data should Yahoo! get Floozed?

Open source it, please. Please.

Re: Twitter Makes A Pivotal Decision, Will It Be Quick Enough?

pirillo — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 03:16:58 -0000

Eh. I don't know. I don't think Twitter is going to bleed too much, despite how many bleeding-edge folks are jumping ship for other tools (read: FriendFeed fiends). Yes, they have their work cut out for them, but they've got a tremendous amount of community momentum - despite the bevy of alternatives available.

I truly wonder what NowPublic thinks of this turn of events...

Doesn't matter to me, really. :)

It's not as fun as it once was to be an early adopter... there's too many things now to adopt early. :)

It's going to take another 10 years before citizens realize they have a voice...

This is precisely why I've joined fewer and fewer sites over the past few years... why I didn't get excited about FaceBook, why I'm not terribly thrilled about Disqus or FriendFeed. There's always going to be something new, and the time I have to take to migrate mindsets is not always worth it.

Thanks, Drew - and I still feel like I'm miles behind from where I should be (largely because I don't know enough people who can compliment my skill set - that is, "complete me" in a professional sense).
