A FriendFeed tipping point?

by Andy DeSoto on July 7, 2008

If anyone can draw thousands of users to a new web service, it’s a guy like Kevin Rose. Universally (and occasionally begrudgingly) liked, followed on a myriad of services, and an influential name in the business, Kevin’s vote counts for a metric ton. As you can probably guess, if Kevin joins a service, a crowd follows. That’s exactly what happened on FriendFeed this weekend as some big web celebrity names started up accounts on the service.

I am curious to hear why you think it’s a good idea to follow or not follow internet contacts, whether they’re interesting, friends of friends, etc.
