I do subscribe to Arrington, but have been thinking of removing that one too. If I unsubscribe to Louis, he'll never speak to me again. I don't subscribe to Scoble, but he comes up as FOAF.

Thus far, I feel like I've easily freed up a bunch of space to subscribe to more folks (finding them is another thing). The river has slowed down tremendously, but I'm still seeing a lot of what I like to think of the cream of that crop from the signficant number of FoaF links. Curious to see how your excision goes!

Nice! I hear you, the internet is often (too often) about extremes and without a personal connection and nuances it's very easy for people to take digital communication the wrong way. But we move on! How did your scoble experiment go?<br><br>@mike - definitely. I think that more or less is what happened to me on FF, you start out with the majors because it's who you "know", from there as you see FoaF links you see some other folks that you subscribe to. Before long, you're unsubscribing from Scoble's feed and having him comment on your blog!

I've only recently started trying to use FriendFeed regularly, and I'll happily admit that I'm subscribed to a good number of the 'top 12' users you mentioned above. I think a big reason for this is that I really don't know who else to subscribe to so I just pile on in to the echo chamber, joining the techie users while as they discuss tech- if I didn't, I'd have almost nobody else to follow.<br>It was the same when I joined Twitter. The big thing that changed it for me (and I think a lot of others) was the addition of search. Suddenly I was able to start networking with people in my city, rather than just randomly choosing other users and/ or following big name users like Robert Scoble. This had the effect of taking a lot of folks out of the echo chamber, as we were suddenly discussing local issues with people who were not only in our timezone, but in our neighbourhood. I think FriendFeed needs the same thing- the ability to find users who don't put 'The Internet' in the box that asks where they live. FriendFeed's Rooms are a start , but there's no directory as far as I can tell, so it's not easy to get involved. This is an interesting piece.
