- What do Louis Gray, Thomas Hawk, Duncan Riley, Cyndy and Mona talk about on FriendFeed?August 2

Sponsored by:
I ‘discovered’ wordle.net a few days ago and have been having fun with it ever since. And now that FriendFeed has increased the number of items we can see from 300 to 900, thought I’ll mash up both together and bring you word clouds of the last 900 comments of some popular FriendFeeders. This is round one – expect a new round every other day
Louis Gray (FriendFeed)
The One. The dude whose original "List of A-Listers on FriendFeed" pretty much drove adoption of FF. Oh, and I have a habit of naming scripts after people (something that’s come back and bit me more than once when I go searching for long lost scripts), so the Script that produces data for this post is called PinkGray.

We return to our regular unscheduled program (ofcourse, unless you want this done again(to other people!). Inspired by Duncan Riley’s Fake Steve Gillmor)
We agree to ignore the pedestrian nature of breathing in and out that underlies everything. Twitter has in recent days shown the ability to manage such peaks though the overall flow does not yet match the peak of Twittermania that lead to the collapse and reworking on the basic systems.
FriendFeed may have gathered a third of Microsoft’s forthcoming Mesh architecture. Twitterspy is therefore vulnerable on several levels. It would be the interrupt, some input device that triggers a disruption that moves resources to process the incoming data or a timer like object internally that wakes up and commands processes to predetermined or calcul

Sponsored by:Louis Gray appears to have kick started a meme of sorts by posting his personal Google Reader leaderboard. So here is the leaderboard for last 1000 items shared by some of the popular friendfeeders in no particular order - if you want yours, just leave a comment and I’ll post it

- Flickr Faves Compatibility IndexJune 13
-
Sponsored by:I stole the concept for the “FriendFeed Likes Compatibility Index” from Hutch Carpenter (you can find a working implementation here courtesy Felix (aka the Topless Programmer))
Extending the concept to Flickr works somewhat nicely, because Flickr’s Faves are conceptually similar to FriendFeed’s Likes. However, Faving something on Flickr is somewhat harder compared to Liking something on FriendFeed – You can’t fave pics directly from the Search Results page, for example. So, while a lot of people tend to have a lot of Likes on FriendFeed, the No. of Faves on Flickr tend to be limited – I have just 90, for example.
So, we need someone who faves lots and lots of photos to compute the first ever “Flickr Faves Compatibility Index”. Isn’t that Thomas Hawk

Sponsored by:Hutch Carpenter had post about what he called the “Friendfeed Likeability Index”, calculated them for a tiny sample of his own likes, and found them pretty good convincing…
And ofcourse a totally hot conversation started off on Friendfeed about this (interestingly, not only on Hutch Carpenter’s original post, but on one that Louis Gray shared).
Now, Friendfeed has a totally hawt bug that prevents any serious data collection (I discovered this to my dismay after building a backend to Friendfeed for my Stats app), so I can analyse only the last 300 likes. Still, there was enough support for it, so I went ahead and built it.
