I just wanted to say that this podcast was really interesting this week – You and Shel are really doing a great job. I thought the news from Dan was interesting and some of the points you discussed on sharing and the Facebook ticker really made me think. I am not a fan of the autosharing thing at all as I see it as noise that I am not interested in but your point about they (Facebook) are changing the way we share was a very valid one.
The Guardian App in Facebook seems to share everything people are reading but that doesn’t necesarily mean the article is brilliant. I think its an interesting one to watch but personally I prefer to see things people have shared rather than something that has been shared automatically.
Chris, thanks for your comments, really appreciated. Glad to know you listen to FIR.
We’ll talk about your comments in the next episode.
