RIP - Just for Friends
i’m very sad to report that robert has taken down his site Just for Friends. it has been up and running in many different forms throughout the years, and has always been a great place for a group of us to share, discuss and, at times, press some buttons. nathan mentioned that the straw that broke the camel’s back was frustration with WordPress. regardless of the reasons, I know I will be just one of many people that will miss all that his site had to offer.
he is still sharing through FriendFeed, but that service has more of an automated content distribution feel and less discussion. he’s hoping everyone will jump on board, I know i’m willing to check it out.

After signing up to FF, I felt like I was drinking from a firehose. I think following everything might be too much for me.
I stopped following Robert’s feed, and just now subscribed to the nicefriends room only. One initial reaction I have is that the summary sent to Google reader is much shorter, but I guess that could have to do with where the feeds are coming from.
Maybe I’ll move this discussion to the FF site..
