cool. but I wonder if it will only increase the gap between the haves and the have-nots? - Josh Haley

This is just another way to encourage 'popularity' contests. I'm not digging it. - Mona N.

I agree Mona - Shey

I think it's neat. It's only a popularity contest if you look at it that way. I think its another cool way of finding cool posts and people to follow. Data is what you make it :) - Steve Isaacs

Plus it seems very well designed and implemented - props to the programmers! - Steve Isaacs

I agree with Mona. Down with these popularity contests. - Shawn Farner

Interesting informations and statistics in FFholic user's feed ---> http://friendfeed.com/ffholic like "%12.0548 of FriendFeed users are private! (data based on FFholic.com)" - Erhan Erdogan

i don't mind popularity contests. i mind the people that take them too seriously. - Morgan

To me, this site is less about the "most popular" people, and more about finding most popular items (and by person). It is interesting at least. - Louis Gray

And thanks to 'popular' people like you, LG, that share items, the 'popularity' is spread evenly :) I just don't like seeing people getting feelings hurt over lists and websites. We're no longer in high school... - Mona N.

It's funny, while I see an email everytime someone follows me, I have no idea who many people that is now. I don't even know where to look. I don't think I even want to know :) - Johnny Worthington

What's nice right now is that most people really only like entries that show up in their FF screen, so this gives us (at the moment) a broader spectrum of the various FF niches. - Justin Long

Erhan why U deleting the Fun comments? Is this a private club? That is why ffholic is FAIL Good luck! - Igor The Troll

Igor: I don't find you as a FUNNY boy and also I have no relation with this good job. Also ALSO also bye BYE! - Erhan Erdogan

Create an application that finds the most interesting people who AREN'T being followed and I'm there. Maybe.. scan popular links shared by popular users and see who actually shared it first. - Shawn Farner

I saw this post in the most-liked last 24 hours list - great job! - Erhan Erdogan

+1 @Shawn Farner - m.i.a

Maybe create an application by the people mostly blocked! And I am not talking about Spammers but with relationship to solid comments! There are some interesting controversial people on Friend Feed who have been blocked by a few A-Listers and many others just jumped on the band wagon! It is too easy to make a judgment by first impression without really knowing about the person! Anyway just alternatives to most likes! - Igor The Troll

does anybody have independent studies of whether hotmail, or yahoomail, or gmail actually makes money? - wilsonng

The hosted version of Sharepoint / Exchange is in beta as a service from MS. It will make them billions and establish them almost instantly as the most important "cloud" provider for businesses. - Soulhuntre via twhirl

Can you comment on Amanda Chapel http://tinyurl.com/4ptxga - Igor The Troll

And 300 of those 320 million are spammers. - TranceMist

Igor: it's a dude named Brian in Chicago who writes that Blog. - Robert Scoble

320 M is truly a big number.i wonder how the geographic distribution looks like. - Davide D'Incau via fftogo

How many of those users are active? I have a Hotmail account, but I never use it anymore. - William Beem

Those people are not early, medium or late adopters though, those are people who don't want to embrace anything new... Those users don't typically migrate to better services - why would they be interested in a social network? - Richard Bradshaw

email is a very private matter -- we'll see how well msft does at converting that to a real user relationship. doubtful - Jason Goldberg

People also still put gasoline in their cars... ;-) - Mary Anne Davis

How many of these are throw away accounts or simply abandoned? Still an impressive number but well inflated. - AJ Kohn

AJ: none: those are all accounts which have been used in past 30 days. - Robert Scoble

Makes Twitter and Friendfeed seem like small fry when you think about it. Clearly they both still have a LONG way to reach critical mass and get numbers like MSFT has for Hotmail/IM. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

i still keep my hotmail/msn just so i dont lose contact with some people. its a hard magnet to avoid - Ruben Llibre

I have a bunch of old account running about .. Thankfully they all forward to my Gmail Accoint :) - Chacha via twhirl

This is a good example of an audience's understanding of what the picture looks like our of their immediate demographic. People have a hard time realizing what's outside of their own 'fishtank' so to speak. There are people that like MSFT, there are people that love using their online services, there are people that truly would rather keep things IE/Live/Office/Windows because it's what they've always used - there are more of those people than there are of "us", and there always will be - it's why us Tech people have jobs. - Enrique Gutierrez via twhirl

Thankfully I don't use Hotmail as my Main Email - Chacha via twhirl

Robert: Really? so we're talking 320MM ACTIVE accounts, plus xMM of lapsed/inactive. Interesting. Thanks for clarifying. - AJ Kohn

I had four accounts , each created when I forgot the password of previous one, I use none now, only gmail. - sirish

I very seriously doubt these would be active or real accounts. Plenty of dead ones or ones used for spamming. Ask them if they can give you a number of accounts that were logged onto in the last 3 months once a week. EDIT, ok, I did not read your article, shame on me, so they have active users. Still don't see how chat accounts can be seen as weapons. - Gerard van Schip

Why did Yahoo self-destruct in regard to Microsoft? Although it is a minority opinion (which I have detailed previously) Yahoo may in fact not need Microsoft to the degree that many think. - Alex Hammer

its there and update feature to twhirl or do I need to download and re-install? - rambn

WOWOWOWOW ... You guys are putting your release schedule on steriods! code monkies!!! I like all the new feature improvements! keep up the good work! - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

This caused me to dump alert thingy even though there are differences. Always liked Twhirl too bad it has picked up some hiccups from Twitter which is already the meme of legend in these parts... - Mark Forman

I'm in! This will def cause me to use friend feed more. - Evan Travers via twhirl

This is a nice feature. Just upgraded to the new version to use this. But your blog is never unblocked by the Great Firewall here. - Jianjun Zhang via twhirl

Comments inline work well, but make it hard to keep a track of whats going on. I guess thats more of a FF issue tho, nested conversations are much more complex than the flat twitterlike comments. - Steve Mactaggart via twhirl

I guess I'm getting used to it - without doubt, it's an improvement, thnx Loic and Marco - Garrido via twhirl

and try the pic share feature, it takes a few seconds to do what really looks like like a short blog post, a pic, a text and a link et voila! - Loic Le Meur

Loic, great update to twhirl, clean interface, more intuitive - Ralph Poole via twhirl

Nice update! Is there any shortcuts for Twhirl?? - Alex Sauceda via twhirl

still trying to get my head around friend feed in twhirl.... - djp via twhirl

Still not like the interface. Still not see the reason why we need a specific app for friendfeed. Some stuff could be sorted via a easy firefox extension e.g. notification. - Benjamin Kohler via twhirl

I'm not sure about this, but my main concern.. why does my FF feed in Twhirl look almost completely different than what I see on the web? Am I the only one seeing this? - felix

Love the new changes - a few issues still with the commenting. It remembers the past comment when I write a new one instead of clearing the box, and it also clears out my comment box every time the feed refreshes. - Jesse Stay via twhirl

Nice work! Loving the improvements! - Lon via twhirl

Great new features. Testing it out now. - Corvida

FriendFeed is going to be seeing a lot more activity because of this. Cheers to the Twhirl team! - Mark Frost via twhirl
