: Identi.ca, the open source and Federated microblogging platform, could very well put Twitter out of business as other businesses begin realizing how they can adopt it. I think the answer could very well be in the "group Twitter" concept that everyone keeps talking about and the fact that Laconi.ca, the code that powers Identi.ca, makes this very easy for anyone to do.

Eight Ways to Get Users to Fill Out Their Profiles

I've got this cute little avatar that a friend made me in his spare time a few years ago, and I tend to use that across the networks. It's a reasonable likeness. I've no issue with folks knowing basic stuff about me anyway.

Twitter Versus Plurk: The UI Advantage
Jul 31, 2008

ReadWriteWeb When I first reviewed Plurk for ReadWriteWeb, I had only been using this new lifestreaming service for a little while. After using it for much longer, I've realized that there is really just one major difference between Twitter and Plurk - but it's that one difference that makes Plurk so much better.This is a guest post by (Read More)

The Talk About Rules for Social Following Is Getting Out of Hand

Jasongoldberg,

: Hey Rafe -- read your article just now.

Of course, we too hope that socialmedian does not fall into the category of products you discussed.

Here are a few reasons we think not.

1. We have built socialmedian over the course of 2008 with the direct help and input of thousands of people from around the world who have participated in our alpha. It's not a product looking for an audience rather an audience-built product.

2. We have chosen not to demo at Demo (asked but we turned down because there is no point in us paying $18K to demo socialmedian at this point), nor at TC50 (discussed with Mike but we both agree that socialmedian with 4300 alpha users is further along than stealth startup). We are working with TC on a different sort of presence by socialmedian at TC50. Stay tuned.

3. We're solving a real problem here at socialmedian: The noise factor. All these web 2.0 apps have turned the volume way up. We're helping people filter down the noise to personal interests. Which we think may be a web 3.0 beginning.

We'll see.

Isthisstupid,

: I would venture to say that what is noise to one may in fact be signal to another: personally, I get tired of slogging through all the tech feeds to find the 5% that are useful for work and perhaps 5% that interest me personally. But then again, that's what I've got Yahoo pipes for: to help me filter the noise before it ever gets to me. Don't see why one couldn't go the same route to filter, say, an unwanted Twitter follower.

@nigelwalsh
@isthisstupid Merge them and filter them when you do! I like the notion of a signal to noise ratio, and I also remember not to pigeon hole. Some fool might be mostly noisy (mostly cloudy?), but as the good Bard has helped us to know: often the fool says the most profound thing.

It's possible that the one signal from a noisy "friend" might surpass the many signals from a guru.

Keep having fun!
