Ah the weekend – isn’t it grand having a day to just kick back read your feeds and check out what is happening on FriendFeed and maybe doing a couple of other things during the few minutes of quiet time. Oh wait .. that’s just like the weekdays isn’t. Oh well in the meantime here’s a few things that caught my eye today on my FriendFeed pipeline.

Distributed Influence and the TechMeme Leaderboard :: Guidewire – some interesting thoughts about Techmeme. As a side note if you aren’t subscribed to Guidewire I suggest that you fix that right now – this is a blog with consistently well written posts.

There’s no such thing as a “social network” :: Paul Buchheit – and this from one of the minds behind FriendFeed – well worth reading.

Delicious Links – 20 links – friendfeed, blogging, javascript, psychology, startup :: Internet Duct Tape – the weekend isn’t complete without Eric’s weekly round up of interesting stuff.

Apple doesn’t care about its customers :: The Boy Genius Report  – the trials and tribulations of one person’s dealings with Apple support.

A watched pot never… :: Unraveling Obfuscation – one persons contemplation of dominating Techmeme on the weekend and why it failed – oh and I love the name of the blog

Yahoo’s New Rock Star Retention Program :: TechCrunch – some info on Yahoo’s attempts to stop any brain drain from its rock star employees.
