When FriendFeed rolled out their new proposed interface in beta , I didn’t rapidly adapt to using their most-visible new feature, lists. The list feature lets you essentially group friends you’re following into smaller groups, with common examples being "Favorites", "Family", "Business", etc. The lists feature also allows you to remove people from your home feed, or all feeds, reducing their impact on your browsing experience, and should you be of the nefarious kind, letting you "fake follow" someone, so their feelings are satiated, even though you have no interest in seeing their data. Since I started using the service almost a year ago, I’ve been one of the more visible proponents of absorbing the noise, and giving every other user equal footing. But as I took on more people I found interesting, I was losing touch with the original users I followed, missing key conversations, and a lot of the most-active subject matter was trending away from what I typically l...

There’s a lively conversation going on at the Fan District Hub, a community news web site/neighborhood blog that I publish. It started with a couple of cracks I made to set up a link to the Back Page piece that Bill Farrar wrote about Paul Goldman. Now it has [...]

Wow! I woke up to a flurry of new hearts and began to do some investigating. I discovered my genuine black cherry ostrich wallet was on the front page! And now I need to get my rear end into the shop because I have quite a few custom orders to make! Two custom Buddy Bags (similar to these): And a custom card case. It will be a fun day, no? ... more
For the past FIFTY Years, my day has begun with the Daily Newspaper
I love the smell of the printed newspaper . I eagerly anticipate the morning headlines. I always read the comics page.
This has been part of my lifestyle since I was TEN years old. I think I began with the comics pages and then progressed to the Front Page, the Sports Page, and then the remaining sections. When I was a kid we also had an “evening” paper in our town; it’s most distinguishing feat... more
Apple Computer’s Steve Jobs famously said, in 2004 , that he felt "you watch television to turn your brain off" and use the computer "to turn your brain on". In the ensuing years, however, Apple has marched directly into your living room, with the Apple TV , and the company’s digital devices are making the partnership between your computing side and your television-watching side better and stronger. A new iPhone application from i.TV debuts today, letting iPhone and iPod Touch ... more
Part Seven In a Monthly Series Sometimes the best blogging is going on well away from the most visible places. Since March, I’ve taken the beginning of each month to showcase some bloggers that are writing some solid content in their corner of the blogosphere. They may not post as frequently as some of us do, and they certainly don’t have the readership they deserve. Just maybe, with this little boost, it can give them the encouragement they need to keep going, and get more proli... more
In a perfect blogging world, the very best writers with the very best content would get the most visitors, page views and subscribers. Every visitor would leave comments, send the links to friends, click through ads, and engage in thoughtful dialog with the author. And authors would be more than happy to pass along credit to other blogs for finding stories early, link to lesser-known voices, and admit when they got things wrong. But, alas, this theoretical utopia doesn’t exist, and as a r... more
By Rob Diana of Regular Geek ( Twitter / FriendFeed ) The one problem I had been having with SocialMedian was the need to manually "clip" stories that I find interesting on the internet. Many social news sites, i.e. Digg , Mixx , etc., use this model with great results. SocialMedian has been trying to focus on getting relevant information in front of their users, while maintaining the voting and commenting mainstays of social news. By allowing users to create news networks, an... more
