Challenge the Challengers, Part Duex

On the previous post:

Calling all Geeks: Keith’s SysAdmin Meme

Now I’m call all you out!!

As you can see I’ve got Several people here who you don’t think would reply or even think about doing this.  I have a plan.  I want these people to tell their story about this memo.  I challenge them to actually post their responses on their blog or Podcast.  I want to hear your story about the old days.  I want to find out all about what people think or did to get into the IT profession!! I have this grand Idea to hear from the people and find out their story.  That is why if you do talk about the memo link back to me so I’ll know.

If you think you’re not a computer geek or a Sysadmin, I know better.  I am sure you have family or friends that you’ve had to work on their computer for some reason or other.  You have the skills even if you didn’t know it.  I want to know how you got into the IT Field.  I want to compile all this information to help people to get into the field and all this information is valuable to people.

I dare you Scoble, Mark, and the Co-founders to be the first to do it.  You know you want to!!!

3 Reason why Friendfeed is dying!!

Paul

So I been watching Friend Feed the last few days, I’ve seen Mark Trapp talking about trolling. I also seen Robert Scoble saying he finds this interesting, and I’ll quote Mark Trapps Post about it:

First Reason — So as you can see this is what people call page trolling! They try to get people to visit there page and get a page count. I say this is a FOUL, and you need to take a time out in the booth for doing this. I don’t want to see this getting on friend feed. I hope FF comes up with a way to let you put in keywords to ignore and such that would be so nice.

Second Reason — They have to make comments about blogger and Twitter. I don’t want to hear stuff about twitter and how they can blog this stuff up all day long!! It’s like the Gilmore Gang talking about getting a Hair Cut. This really needs to change and become a better feed then it has in the past. I will get flame comments or even flame mail but it’s the truth!!

Third and Final — Robert Scoble talked about this in his post about advertising the Gilmore gang, I guess I did that in the last reason and You can see how this will result in people see that I am actually reading this stuff, so it is going to be the death of me in the long run!! I say we can’t get sucked into these type of post or comments. We need to become a better blogger and commenter on the feed to get people to see the post!! Trust me, if you make it they will come!!!

It’s up to all of us to make Friend Feed the best it can possibly be on the Internet. Let’s make Friend Feed the next Cloud Computing!!
