I don’t know this guy. FriendFeed introduced us, I assume. This morning I received a notification telling me that he was following my FriendFeed. So, I hop on the ol’ interweb and see who homie is. Turns out he runs a video blog called rocketboom out of NYC. Sounds crafty right? Tis.
On one hand I love that these services connect me with folks that I would otherwise NEVER meet or even hear about. But I am wee bit unsure about this as a marketing tactic. Andrew now as 1466+ people he is following on FriendFeed. Which to me means he probably has no interest in my feed at all and he just wanted the free notification and hey it worked! I went, I saw, I appreciated. Excellent. But what does this mean for FriendFeed? Perhaps it’s a mistitled product now? I do love the guerrilla tactics style thinking so I think I’ll choose to embrace this instead of dump on it.
Nice work Andrew, I wish you luck.
