Wayne Smallman,
Jan 04, 2009
: I wrote about this problem a while ago, so Louis's views aren't exactly news to me.

Personally, I think Twitter has made people lazy:

"Don’t agree? We routinely use exceptionally complex software each and every day of our business lives. Do we balk at using Microsoft Word or Adobe Photoshop? No, we don’t. There are alternatives to both, but the fact of the matter is, if you want features, then there’s a commensurate level of complexity associated with those additional features."

But in fairness to Louis and Robert Scoble, there are things the guys behind FriendFeed could do to improve their product:

"However, the alleged failure of FriendFeed is not entirely as a result of an abundance of features, but the inability of the developers to conceal the levels of complexity, allowing a more layered and progressive disclosure, or revealing of those features as the user begins to explore FriendFeed further."

: "It’s basically a continuous river of information that you can use as a virtual water cooler of news and content, but it’s also interactive – you’re encouraged to comment on other people’s stories, “like” something that resonates with you, and more. If you’re looking for something that is a one-stop solution for a variety of different content frames: feed readers, micro-blogging, images, etc, then FriendFeed is a good fit."

:
@Thechannelc I only respond to a DM if I need to. I will reply to a direct question even if only to say I don't know, as I like to be polite. However, I only follow a very few people by SMS, so I don't see tweets when I'm away from my computer, unless I scroll back thru them, and I don't usually have time. I DO see DMs though, as Tweetdeck puts them in a separate column.

: If someone was Guy Kawasaki I wouldn't expect a reply but here's what's interesting, Guy replies! If there's someone who deserves the badges he's giving out, it's Guy himself. He kicks ass.

I know we don't have to follow everyone back but I do it anyways and I'll DM new followers. No answer in 1 week = goodbye. Come now, atleast say "hi".

: I don't agree that every Brand must do this. It depends where your customers are. If some of them are using places like this, then that's cool.

However, we need to ensure that we don't create an underclass of poorly supported customers. Those people who don't use twitter, get satisfaction and other such tools and websites.

We shouldn't force people to have to use these tools if they would rather pick up a phone, email or write.

Brands need to talk with customers wherever they are and whomever they are, and treat them all equally.

Remarkable Customer Service shouldn't just be for the social media elite.

: How about a call to action! "November 4th, 2008 a date that will live in infamy - the constitution was suddenly and deliberately attacked through lies and deceptions." Shout it, blog it, twitter it and podcast it. The blogosphere is mightier then the sword! You, sir, are mightier then the sword! Mourning is for the dead. Democracy isn't dying on my watch.
