You need to start telling them about FF, I like the format as well, because you can follow the conversation. - David Cole

Hello! - Chris

depends on how much longer FF sticks around for... - Kim

Chris subscribed to ya! Mahalo! David - I DO! I tell them at least once a day to join me here for a more in depth conversation. I even stopped one conversation cold this morning and told him it belonged here not on Twitter. - Arleen Boyd

Kim - sadly it is a concern. I just see FB messing up FF in the future... and people don't want to keep jumping networks. - Arleen Boyd

I so agree! Tired of Twitter Twissues! - Jeff Hurt

FriendFeed is a MUCH better communication arena, but it's just not as "catchy". Very little customization. - Nick Armstrong

My Twitter is running soooo slowly. - Jason Pollock

I'm here :o) - Kimberle Kelly

Sadly, no need to tell anyone about FF anymore - We've been sold out :-( - Jannifer @wordsforliving

Jason! Chrome says Twitter... that link is BROKEN! LOL! - Arleen Boyd

Jeff, Nick, Kimberly... Twitter's twashy twerrible architecture will be the death of it! - Arleen Boyd

This IS getting kind of old! - Stephen Kruiser

Jennifer sadly I agree... but there must be something we can do! - Arleen Boyd

So what could we do @Arleen? - Jeff Hurt

Okay let's go get everybody HERE where we can have real discussions... then we can plan our Long Term strategy for Citizen Journalism! They won't do away with this FF for at least a few months! - Arleen Boyd

All ideas for saving a FF like community (or if we must plan a mass migration) post HERE! - Arleen Boyd

yeah FF is cool, hope it doesn't change now that FB bought it, hope it gets better...not sure why twitter keeps going down,but FF seems more reliable&works w/twhirl, FB doesn't - Patty from twhirl

At least we have each other here... @ least 4 the time being on FF... How're you, Arleen? - CarolAnnB

Oh Me 2. I feel like I'm to loud for the small room. LOL - Carol Rambo

...maybe Twitter's just gotten too big to be supported by just one company? imagine if all telecom service was run by just AT&T. Twitter needs legitimate competition, so that it's millions of users (and growing) don't constantly get inconenienced by inevitable systems problems, hacker attacks, etc. - .LAG liked that

I believe it will be a bi difficult to get everyone over here...Worth a shot though. We ARE going to need to make a change since it seems that Twitter is impotent in running a dependable service. - Alonis

This has been bugging me today too, Arleen. Of course the last time it wasn't an issue with them so much as it was an outside attack upon their servers. - Harold Paxton

Patty, CarolAnn, Carol, Lag, Alonis... we have a finite (and unknown) amount of time to DO something. FF has a simple reliable platform that works well for connection and discussion. But, w/ FB it will eventually be integrated and get cumbersome like FB is! So... we need something else ya? What do you really want/need most in a network community? These guys only care about real time search and how much $$$ they get for that. - Arleen Boyd

Twitter is working again.... - Claudia Rahanmetan

Hey twitter is working fine now check out :) - cheth

Yay! Now to reload tweetdeck. - Harold Paxton

Mahalo Arleen, yes I do believe we need a better platform, this is why I do jump in with both feet on some of the app's. I'm always looking. I do have a lot of tech's that I follow as do you. I'm interested, if you find better, you will let us know, right? LOL - Carol Rambo

FF seems like the best alternative right now to twitter,as long as it doesn't change,not sure what else is out there similar to twitter - Patty from twhirl

I hang my head in shame as I bounced over to Twitter the minute it was up... problem is: though I ADORE and value the awesome conversations with you here... there are others I don't want to ignore on Twitter... so split... damn FB for buying FF! - Arleen Boyd

Okay, I'm kind of feeling like a Yo-Yo with twitter today. - Harold Paxton

Why Harold! Are you a Twitter Yo-Yo or a Twitter Ho?? *giggle* - Arleen Boyd

LOL Thanks a lot, Arleen! I think I may be both!! Looks like Twitter is working on the web side of things for me. but the tweetdeck is problematic. - Harold Paxton

Robert I found with the grouping ability and the discussion threads - there's no need for much in the way of user apps here. It's so simple clean and USABLE! Do use the grouping features both for "friends" and "Groups" and have fun with real discussions you can follow! Harold, TweetDeck doesn't work w/ my follower count. I tweet via the Web! - Arleen Boyd

Thanks for the advice to, Robert, Arleen. That's helpful for me too! - Harold Paxton

Do you have any groups you recommend? - Harold Paxton

Harold, I'm in te Hawaii group of course to see my local Ohana! And with the BlackBerry group cause I have one, and with Backlink free and Audiophile... but those are just my personal interests. I also like tech stuff but am in many on Facebook. I organized my friends here in groups depending on what they talk about most. - Arleen Boyd

Okay. Thanks, Arleen. I appreciate the info :-) - Harold Paxton

So Robert is asking people if they're leaving FF. Without a plan guys we got same 'ol same 'ol... so WHAT is important to you?? - Arleen Boyd

Roger that Arleen, signed up 15 minutes ago as "backup." I echo your sentiments exactly. - Paul Roberts

FF more important to me as aggregator of my other content but as Twitter has issues I'm liking the communication interface I think twitter still be my primary - WarLord

Welcome to FriendFeed Roger! - Arleen Boyd

Yes, I intend to periodically post a tweet that says, "FEED ME! http://friendfeed.com/tekee" - Ted S

I LOVE Ted's tweet! Works! I didn't know I wasn't subscribed to you and now I am! - Arleen Boyd

you are not alone in that... - Dan

I am a member but haven't really used this too much. Does it work like Twitter? - Beverly Monical

Beverly, yes, but with threads and no whales. - Marco Neves

Yeah, FriendFeed is so much faster in posting, too. I love it. Let's start the next wave in social media! Twitter has jumped the shark. :) - LisaGemini
