FriendFeed Bounces Off Lows, Comes Back Stronger than Ever
Earlier about a month ago I wrote about what happens when a company got bought out by Facebook, namely FriendFeed. People invest a lot of time in social networks and when a social network gets bought out that sets up a level of uncertainty that the company will still be around later on. FriendFeed is [...]
Noted: Innovation Management Races Past Enterprise 2.0
I belong to two groups on FriendFeed, Enterprise 2.0 and Innovation Management. These groups track tweets and Delicious bookmarks related to their respective topics. The Enterprise 2.0 Group was set up in June 2008, meaning it’s about 15 months old. The Innovation Management Group was set up July 24, 2009, meaning it’s about 1 1/2 [...]
Could FriendFeed Have Crossed the Chasm?
FriendFeed is now part of Facebook. For many of us FriendFeed users, this was quite a shock. We didn’t know exactly what FriendFeed’s future was, or how it was going to make money. But Twitter has set the current mental model of not worrying about such things. And in some ways, Amazon.com did the same [...]
Final Closing Thoughts on Gnomedex 09
Image by Josh Bancroft via Flickr When you go to a convention you really never know what you are really going to get. Sometimes you get something totally cool that makes you stop and think, while at other times you get stuff that is so mind bogglingly dull that it is hard to believe that [...]
If You Wonder What Happens When You Get Bought Out Check Out FriendFeed’ s Traffic
I am not saying that this happens to everyone or that everyone is ticked that Facebook bought out FriendFeed. But obviously I have been disappointed by FriendFeed being bought out by Facebook. While I have a Facebook page, and am seeing FriendFeed user’s crossing over from FF to Facebook (thanks!), it is interesting what has [...]
Zendesk Scores Series B Funding and Ditches Freemium
I’m a big fan of both the Zendesk product offering, and the company. I’ve spent a significant amount of time with the Zendesk crew, written about them since the very early days and had something of an inside view of what makes them tick. In an industry that seems sadly full of wannabe prima donnas, [...]
Facefeed: No Surprises Here
Techmeme is full of news about Facebook acquiring Friendfeed. The Friendfeed team will join Facebook’s engineering team but they will have the Friendfeed website going for a while. FriendFeed.com will continue to operate normally for the time being. We’re still figuring out our longer-term plans for the product with the Facebook team. As usual, we [...]
The Bogus RSS Debate
Why Bogus? Because it’s not a real debate. It’s just bombastic statements, and a perfect link-bait – which I admit I’ve just taken. Steve Gillmor no longer uses Google Reader, he gets all the information he wants from Twitter, so he declares RSS dead. He says the race for real-time is already won. I agree [...]

Is Twitter Being Used to Attack Blogs? We Still Need Social Feeds.
By Zoli Erdos on January 14, 2009
An older post on my personal blog, If Scoble Thinks He Found Bad Startup Marketing, He Ain’t Seen Nothing received several comments this morning, all showing the same structure, pointing back to Twitter accounts – some are clearly spam accounts with only this one update, but others appear to be real users, although I am [...]
