FFoFF - The Next Gen Open Social Platform
FriendFeed is a great tool for tracking
others feeds and posts and comments and such. There are a lot of new
tools that do this kinda "lifestream" process, but I am using FF as a
first experiment to see how far we can go using only free tools, sites
and widgets, and of course FireFox. So like RubyonRails? (RoR?) I now present FFoFF.
The FriendFeed Global Social Media Conversation ROOM is an initial discussion group for sharing the FFoFF
idea and engaging some smart folks in a dialogue about it. So far it's
mainly me posting notes and thoughts to myself, but eventually the FF
Room tool should be a simple aggregator of any content necessary to
build a custom feed.
There are several open social platforms in flight and my experiment is not meant to conflict with folks doing the real work. Groups like like Marc Canter's OpenMesh and DAPP development teams, these teams are doing actual development. I am working a kludge, using their tools and Google's tools and jamming them together into some kind of personal navigator for the web.
I have sketched out the concept in powerpoint so that you can see and we can discuss the process and needs for this project or process or protocol/platform/stack. (Those last three words were thrown in there to make it look like I am smart about this stuff. I'm not. Marc Canter, now he's smart!) I hope you find some way to curse or cajole me along and join in if you see a soft spot.
See ya outside the rails. - JMac

I found the genesis and first mention of FFoFF? in the FriendFeed? and FireFox? context. (There are many other ffoff uses if you google it)
Here's the original Tweet from a person I'd never met named Willia4 http://tinyurl.com/ffoff-begins And here's his blog The Ungrounded Outlet http://blog.ungroundedoutlet.com/
And his about me says this, "My name is James Williams, but lots of people call me Eddie. In a way, it’s possible to divide my life according to who calls me James and who calls me Eddie. For most of my life, I was Eddie. Now that I’m out of college and working, I’m James. Essentially, taking away the “I know the form says James, but I go by Eddie” explanation of my name has made my life a lot easier.
That sort of makes me wonder about the way that so many people are unprepared to deal with someone who doesn’t go by his first name.
Anyway. My name is James. Or Eddie. You decide. "
Willia4, I am so glad I found you. Now don't think I'm wack or anything, but I am trying to create a following for this FFoFF? thing. I'm not sure what you had in mind, but we're in this thing together now. So, join in, high five!
