In July I wrote a blog post titled 10 people you should follow on Friendfeed. The list detailed the top 10 people I find the most interesting, according to Friendfeed’s statistics. This time around I’m highlighting 20 more people that I find interesting, and I think that you will too. The post in July was mainly social media/tech people on FriendFeed. This list gives you the best of both worlds on FriendFeed, techie/non techie, and a little something for everyone.

CONNECT WITH MIKE
The only person people should follow on FriendFeed: Michael Fruchter. You are the man!
This is a great list, and not just because I'm on it.
If enough people keep mentioning how I need to be signed…maybe it will actually happen
Great article. I'm flattered to be included in the list. I think this is a balanced list of users on FF because each one of them posts unique and interesting material.
I would love to take FF behind the middle school & get it pregnant. I wish I could take credit for that line but I pilfered it from 30 Rock.
Rah – you definitely WILL get signed. It's just a matter of time.
Nicely done Michael, thank you for including me on this wonderful list of great people. FriendFeed really is something special. You are welcome around my campfire any time.
Mike – I am humbled. Thank you so much for the mention even though I don't think that I deserve to be on the same list as a couple of my man crushes.
(Kyle you are not one of them!
~ )
You Rock Mike!
Thanks again brother.

Mike, thanks for including me on this list! Some great folks here …
Wow Mike, thank you so much for the mention! Though I think you do a lot more for the FriendFeed community than all of us combined. Your shares = absolute MUST.
Thanks again, Mike, and I am greatly humbled.
ps: I am NOT the Queen of FriendFeed. Tina and Monique are going to come after you.
Really useful. Thanks for the list!
Mike – Wow, Thanks for including me in your list!! I am subscribed to everyone on your list and I fully concur – these folks are the best! These guys are the *heart and soul* of FriendFeed. They drive the best content and conversation here!!
P.S. Mona IS the Queen of FriendFeed, despite her resistance to the crown!
Susan Beebe
I was wondering why I had a flood of friendfeed notifications. Thanks a ton for the include on the list.
A few notable people that are missing that I would highly recommend would be the omnipresences of Louis Gray and Sarah Perez. They are everywhere. Also Corvida and Tina (Stupid Blogger) are highly recommended.

Rob,
Mike already included Louis and Sarah Perez (aka SarahinTampa) in his original 10 people to follow list back in July.
I agree with your request to include Corvida and Tina (Stupid Blogger) on Mike's growing list of people to follow on FriendFeed! They both are excellent girl geeks! who blog about technology and both do very detailed analysis in their blog posts.
Many thanks, Mike! You do great stuff, too!
P.S. You forgot to mention my comedy writing chops…
Actually, I've only written one or two intentionally comic posts, so perhaps I've still got to prove myself in that form of writing…

Hey Michael thanks for me to your list. very kool
This now explains why i had a ton of new followers on friendfeed last night
Great piece. I found a few more interesting feeds.
I'm honoured Mike, thanks
this is a very limited range of people. I know you all love each other so much, but I see little use for this list. In fact if anything this looks like a list of people who are likely to be snobby and block. Now I know some of you and I know you aren't all scum, but this just smacks of the worst.

Come now, Noah.
You know you don't get blocked because people are snobby.
I really like how you provide the bios, topics and websites for each of these people. Very nice touch. Ok, subscribed to 5 I hadn't from the list. Also based on FriendFeed comments for this post I added Tina and already had Corvida and Anna Haro. I think I'm good now. Thanks Mike.
Really useful. Thanks for the list!
What a pleasant surprise to get this morning! Thanks for the mention Mike, I really appreciate it and I am flattered that you think my photography is beyond amateur.
I believe I am already subscribed to most of the list you provided above, but I know I have a handful of newbies to check out. Thanks for taking the time to highlight these people and even include their bios.
PS. On a side note, just a clarification, I don't really consider myself from Pennsylvania. I was born there, but really, I was raised and consider myself a Southern California kid
I see no range of taste… I see no different options. I see a bunch of people that for the most part are known to be very tight knit. This doesn't help people, because all I have to do is know one of you and for the most part I will know the others. I'm looking for something like this that will allow me to go beyond your self declared A List. I'm not saying all of you are assholes, I'm saying I am here to learn and have new experiences and this list doesn't help.
This is your trophy. I'm glad you like each other so much.
just call this your club house page and it is cool. I know I'm not in the club. that isn't a surprise to me

Why am I not on this list?
so that you don't think I'm trying to troll you. I am including a link to a diverse reflection of the internet. Notice these people may even hate my guts… but I include them because I believe they lead to a different direction of people. these people might of even blocked me, but I include them because they are reflective of the geography. http://noahdavidsimon.blogspot.com/2008/09/frie…
