Comments for Push My Follow http://pushmyfollow.com A podcast about social media and other things Sun, 20 Jul 2008 08:25:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 Comment on Episode 9 by Bibble http://pushmyfollow.com/2008/07/episode-9/#comment-170 Bibble Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:22:23 +0000 http://pushmyfollow.com/?p=16#comment-170 Great show all! The Plurk v Twitter debate rages on. The only reason I check in with Twitter from time to time is to see what you folks are up to, and follow a few others. I may reduce my Twitter follows to those that I'm not interacting with on Plurk before I complete jump ship... or "jump whale." :) Also: do you have any invites available for phreadz.com? Oh and to the PMF moderators: please don't delete or edit my comment here! ;) Great show all! The Plurk v Twitter debate rages on.

It was the first SocNet I left because it lost that small, friendly, community feel. Met some great people there. Also, it's pronounced (mole-uh-skeen-eh).

Not sure I share your concerns over privacy and control of content especially when posted on sites like Seesmic, Utterz, etc. Sure being quoted "out of context" is not cool but I look at that as more of a sign that we need to plan what we say with a bit more care. Politicians have been dealing with this problem in old media for year. Once a media source is spotlighted as one who quotes out of contect they usually starts digging away at their reputations and with some of the egos out there it may be a great form of self-policing.

I don't know if any of us use Pownce regularly! I know I don't, not because it doesn't work, but because everyone I know on Pownce I'm connected with on Twitter so it seemed redundant, but I agree, it's worth another look for sure! hi Brad,

I think... Okay. I got in about 55 minutes and then my Treo died, but I'm guessing from the way the conversation was moving and Christine didn't speak up, that nobody here brought up the network that seems to meet most of your criteria, Pownce : http://www.pownce.com Self-created groups for posting and reading. Private messages. MORE than 140 characters. Auto-integration with Flickr & YouTube. Threaded conversations that show up as threaded conversations **and** in your feed. A mobile front-end. Admiral Akbar instead of the Fail Whale. It's the one network y'all didn't bring up. I actually found myself shouting at my Treo... "POWNCE DOES THAT!!!" I don't know if it's better or worse... I have several friends who only use Pownce, just like I have several friends who only use Twitter... several who only use Plurk... several who only use Brightkite... it's why I use Ping. I'm just not grokking FriendFeed yet. Okay... getting off soapbox. Pownce : http://www.pownce.com Long time listener… first time poster… I think…

Pishba PS Wonderful show - learned something new - never heard of chatterous. come to think of it, listening to pmf, I always learn. (must catch up on early episodes!)

It's obvious indeed that this companies don't value our privacy , sadly. Also I liked the discussions about groups, especially when Christine regret that the service don't value the grouping feature. I think the issue with the groups, is that individuality has more value then groups. So putting the groups would make disappear this individuality and the sens of freedom... allowing groups maybe means allowing peer pressure... So thanks for this great show. ours will be online soon , ( only two yet .. ) :-) Great show as usual, and i like how sincere you are about the way you are using this show to express some feelings about how private or not should be the social networks.

First time listening though I downloaded some past episodes yesterday. Nice to hear your experiences as I navigate my way through this social media maze. Also, it's great that I can clean my house, listen and ponder. Multi-tasking. Thanks that was great. First time listening though I downloaded some past episodes yesterday.

I have never done it before, but was wondering if it would be worth giving it a try. What are the specialists' thoughts on that? Would it be a discussed topic on a coming Push My Follow?

I think you guys have a good thing going here. you have the casual, newbie-friendly thing going, which is pretty good since you're all rather advanced. I've liked the idea of twitter groups since I joined long ago, but they've never materialized. I follow the public feed thru gChat anyway, so I guess I don't use twitter that way. My friends are mainly on Flickr. I'm a visual artist and I'm there all the time. I would like a way to group chat with my extended group, like to reach them all in any SM no matter what they're using - you know, if they have no SM profiles, send them an email, if no email - phone, if no phone - have the message delivered by strippergram ;-) - I jest, of course. But I liked what you said about Facebook being a good address book. I've not used it for that, but, then, I've not used FB for much of anything. I want you to keep up with the howtos and whytos and wheretos, altho guest star, newmediajim was a lot of fun last time. He's a hella nice guy. You could probably do that kinda thing once in a while. I see Tom Merritt is hang out on this page. I listen to him everyday on BOL, so I don't need any more of him, but maybe others might enjoy him. I like your conversations, you all have a lot to contribute. Rick, you have a really good "radio" voice and manner. This is the 3rd show I listened to.
