At this moment, I've decided to stay on Twitter (but keep an eye on FF). I can't help it--I just love Twitter, and (in the grand scheme of things) it's done me no wrong.

All good points, although I think we could have thrown 8-tracks in the analogy too. ;) I'm not leaving Twitter completely but as I said in the post: "I'd rather be joined for a conversation than followed for what I say". (or Tweet as the case may be)

I'll keep both thanks, you can never belong to too many online social tools...er, can I rethink that?
- Craig Thomler
Thanks for following back on FF. Still using Twitter, but you're right about FF. Ciao!
- phil baumann
I still like both as well, but do feel as if FF is more and more useful as I learn more about it and pay more attention to it. Need to find more good rooms ...

I had pretty much left Twitter (for FF) during the month of May, BUT have slowly come back to Twitter. Being a "fair weather" fan of Twitter, I'll be back on FF IF "the going gets rough on Twitter" AGAIN! I prefer the conversations on FF, BUT I have MORE "company" on Twitter!
- Thomas Ho
I'm right there with you Thomas: 7x more folks on Twitter for me than FF. But, I keep coming back to the Gretzky quote: "Skate to where the puck is going, not to where it is" Hopefully, the team follows along. :)

I wonder what the new wave of those "just coming on" to the Web 2.0 phenom will do with both Twitter and FF? Educators and Businesses are using and promoting Twitter for targeted purposes now, as my Twine digest updates me weekly with the new directions. I think Van Elsas had a blog highlighting that they both are serving somewhat different purposes. Anyone catch that one? Will Twitter eventually overcome the load or is the "failwhale" going to be our frequent new tweep? ;) Thoughts?

I followed Kevin to FriendFeed via Twitter, what's next? BTW, I wish there was some kind of client of Firefox extension to follow FriendFeed

Jose, check the tail end of my post. I mention how to run FriendFeed in your FireFox sidebar all day long. It auto-refreshes, which is key. Fresh coversations are much better than stale ones.
- Kevin C. Tofel
great article! But the google firefox trick doesn't seem to refresh automatically for me.
- David Kanter
Give it at least 5 minutes David. I thought the same at first. Too bad we can't configure the refresh rate.
- Kevin C. Tofel
I see the google refresh widget is working. Thanks Kevin!

" "Skate to where the puck is going, not to where it is"" I like that quote Kevin.

Thanks Catherine! It's not helping that Circuit City has the XSi kit on sale for $849 plus 12-months no interest financing. ;)
