Yeah yeah, FF is totally deglamourized, but the idea behind it is exactly right. look at the fimoculous.com home page: here's my twitter over here, my comments over there, yadda yadda. Now compare the "what I'm up to" column on <a href="http://www.dashes.com/anil/" target="_blank">anil's blog</a>. Pretty friggin hot.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> I actually installed movable type to get that functionality, only to find that the MT activity stream doesn't play nice with, e.g., tumblr. But so you can strip the chrome off the FF badge, and aside from some clunky wording, it can <a href="http://alesh.com/" target="_blank">look decent</a>. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Not to mention it can port to my facebook home page, thus putting it in front of the eyeballs of what few people might actually care about it.

"fake following" : are we really applauding a fresh new way to use the internet to be a little more weaselly? Isn't this just postponing the in-person awkward?
