Quoted: Today, the blogosphere got a taste of what a lot of us black live streamers experience all too often: anonymous cowards. These individuals choose to hide behind their anonymity, and flood corresponding chat rooms with all kinds of racial slurs. Unfortunately, Louis Gray had to witness such an event: This afternoon, I caught a video broadcast with

Quoted: One thing Feedly has nailed, is aggregation of FriendFeed conversations surrounding a blog post.

Quoted: Twitter's architectural problems are well known. Many of us in the social networking scene have never been so focused on what's under the hood of a particular service.

Quoted: I covered FriendFeed rooms already and I think it's a good addition to an already successful system at FriendFeed. Yesterday, FriendFeed rolled out new features for FriendFeed rooms.
