Comments on: The Digerati’s Love Affair With Friendfeed http://www.markevanstech.com/2008/06/29/the-digeratis-love-affair-with-friendfeed/ Insight and Analysis from North of the Border Fri, 05 Dec 2008 10:46:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Roxanne Darling http://www.markevanstech.com/2008/06/29/the-digeratis-love-affair-with-friendfeed/#comment-75172 Roxanne Darling Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:20:35 +0000 http://www.markevanstech.com/?p=3557#comment-75172 As an entrepreneur, I am in a similar mindset Mark. What I would like to see is some measure of users who actually have deliverables each day versus those who seem to be in some form of marketing whereby they have few externally-based commitments each day and the time therefore to be connected to so many networks and feeds. The people who are building things, other than their own profiles, are largely absent. At the same time, I think very shortly larger companies will be very smart to have full or part time dedicated Customer Service "Twitterati's" who can be available to those who are incredibly vocal and connected. It's such a brilliant platform (along with aspects of the spinoffs) for communication, and that is a #1 task for many companies. As an entrepreneur, I am in a similar mindset Mark.

However, one point that I don't see you mentioning is the Commenting and Like functionality in FriendFeed, which is one of the biggest reasons why Scoble started extolling the virtues of FriendFeed. There are other aspects to it as well, but you do have a point about the whole "river of news" or noise effect. That limits its mainstream appeal, although developers are continuing to work on ways to control the noise.
