This is a well crafted Article on the Use Of Facebook!

by STEFFAN ANTONAS on SEPTEMBER 11, 2009
Along with the shocking number of Mafia Wars invites I get on Facebook, I continue to get daily friend requests from people I have never met or had any contact with. Almost all of these invites have a similar personalized message attached…

“We’re already friends on [some other social network]“… so let’s be Facebook Friends!”

If you’ve sent me a connection request in the past and you’ve never gotten that “Steffan has accepted your friend request” notification back, please don’t take it personally. If I don’t know you well, you’ll have to settle for Twitter, FriendFeed, my Youtube or Vimeo account, my blog or (gasp!) email…I’m keeping Facebook a friends-only affair. Here’s the logic behind my “True Friends Only” rule for Facebook…!”  http://blog.steffanantonas.com/

Excellent Review of New Application!-Mr Winer has a very Unique Writing Style.

Thursday, September 10, 2009 by Dave Winer.

The former FriendFeed company now owned by Facebook did something very interesting today. They released Tornado which is the customized web server that runs the backend of FriendFeed.

I speculate in a thread on FF: “Just thinking out loud if there were a REST interface for the backend that worked like the REST interface for the client, I would be able to program both ends without having to learn the internals of your system. It would be really elegant, and probably wouldn’t cost that much in overhead. I was able to create an interface to the client side of your realtime API in an hour or two. If I could sneak into the backend the same way that’s all I’d need to at least put together a proof of concept. Does this make any sense?”

We need what their backend does to make the connection from rssCloud to desktops. This is something the FriendFeed guys mastered, and there’s reason to believe it scales to the level we’d need since they are the guys who did GMail and Google Maps.

Interesting times we live in.

I also reminded people that when cool technologies are shipping everywhere it’s not a time of death it’s a time of life, as long as we have the web to connect our work, there’s nothing exclusive about it. The engineers don’t think we’re wiping each other out, only the pundits and the hangers-on do.

Interesting times we live in.

And that’s a good thing.

Steve Rubel does a great How To On Posterous !

“As I mentioned last night, as more of my friends join Posterous and use it as a hub to populate their I am becoming a huge fan of their built in reader. It’s helping me discover all kinds of new, substantive content that is hard to find in Twitter or even multiple blog RSS feeds. Today I found out you can actually subscribe to the Posterous peeps you follow via RSS. Here’s how.

First, visit posterous.com/reader in your browser. If you’re using Firefox, Safari or IE, the RSS icon should light up. Then all you need to do is subscribe to that feed. I am wondering if this one day will become my preferred input channel — especially if Posterous becomes as real-time as Friendfeed, Facebook and Twitter. It still feels slow right now, like blogging. Then again, much of the content already finds its way into all three sites. So this might be moot. Still, for now, it’s cool for me. !” Steve Rubel

“Gallery: How the Leading Social Sites Describe Themselves

I just wrapped up a nine-day swing through California, the majority of which I was in Silicon Valley. Every time I visit the Bay Area (which I truly love to visit) I am always struck by how technology pervades the region much more so than any other. Digerati chatter is everywhere, from the coffeehouses to the billboards that line US 101.

While technology influences all of us, life is different inside the bubble of the Valley. This is why I am glad I get to spend so much time each year in several major cities: Chicago, New York, Toronto, London, LA, as well as San Francisco and Silicon Valley. My travels help me maintain a broader perspective that I believe the Valley sometimes misses. I am increasingly embracing my time on the road because it (hopefully) helps me maintain a wider worldview.
Here’s a small example of what I mean. In the gallery below I pulled together the welcome screens that grace some of the more popular social networks and communities on the web. As you look at these note how similar the language is — particularly Twitter, digg, Friendfeed and Stumbleupon.
Now try to imagine you’re a new user from Bismark or Des Moines who heard about these sites on CNN, would you sign up — and how might you choose?  Do these sites only speak to Silicon Valley, rather than the broader universe of citizens they hope to attract? If so, how might this hamper their growth?
That’s what’s on my mind tonight now that I am back in NY. !” Steve rubel
