I wonder if the slowdown in terms of tweets posting from Twitter to FriendFeed is evidence of this or if it's unrelated or based on something else entirely. - Thomas Hawk

Thomas. Purely anecdotal but there are times when it updates within 1 minute and sometimes over half an hour. Could it have something to do with volume or server calls? 'x' number of users times the amount of tweets would equal a lot. Does Twitter prefer to push them all out at once? Does FriendFeed only call Twitter twice an hour? Either way, it sucks lemons... - Johnny

Either way, friendfeed is still, for me, the most reliable way of seeing all of someone's tweets. Entires from people I follow randomly don't show up for me on twitter, I've submitted a ticket about it over six months ago with many examples and never gotten a response. - Richard Lawler

Johnny you're right. It could be anything really. But I suppose in a spirit of transparency it would be interesting for us to know what's going on here exactly. I've too noticed that sometimes it's lightening fast. Other times not as much. - Thomas Hawk

If Twitter just wants to be an update service, then no. If Twitter thinks it's a conversation and discovery platform then yes - FriendFeed is a competitor and Twitter should be afraid, very afraid. - AJ Kohn

We are borg. Resistance is futile :) - Roberto Bonini

Friendfeed is the vastly superior platform of course. I'd just hate to see Twitter trying to do something to disrupt the FriendFeed experience based on their view that FriendFeed is too dangerous a competitor. In an era when user portability is super important I'd hate to see something like that happen for selfish business reasons. - Thomas Hawk

Cause I see both feeds, I see what some people have tweeted and then sit here hitting refresh until it show up in their FF feed to comment (I prefer FF as a Twitter client) :) - Johnny

FF has been upgrading their back-end. Maybe that has something to do with it? - coldbrew

I still see the two services as doing two different things. I have conversations on twitter more often than on FF. I suspect that is because on FF I just feel it is comment overload. I like Twitter for it's mobile aspect and why I use it much more often. FF is for me a service to see a 'bigger' picture. I follow someone and get to see more than just status updates. Both coexist for me nicely. - Sidney

coldbrew, you could totally be right. It could have nothing to do with Twitter at all. It does worry me though and it might be nice to get a clearer idea exactly what's going on with all this. - Thomas Hawk

Is FF using the Twitter API to bring in Tweets? Assuming they are on the whitelist which from documentation says "Users and IPs on the whitelist are allowed a maximum of 20,000 requests per hour." So, 5.5 requests per second. Perhaps some throttling is happening to conform? - AJ Kohn

I do think Scoble's point about he and Leo being left off of the Twitter suggested list is an interesting one. Both he and Leo are much more popular and had more followers than some of the other names that Twitter chose to highlight. It does make you wonder if the fact that those two are the two most popular on FF might have something to do with that. - Thomas Hawk

Friendfeed needs twitter, and so twitter holds the power but if twitter were to block friendfeed I feel that friendfeed users would find an alternative or friendfeed would develop their own status system. That's when twitter should be scared. - Wesley Robin Guerrero

Dude, FriendFeed does NOT need Twitter. Why do people think this? FriendFeed already has the ability to post directly and imports statuses from a slew of services besides Twitter. Many people don't even bother importing their Twitter and many others explicitly hide it because of how much "noise" it causes. - Rahsheen the Dream

FriendFeed emphatically does not need Twitter. I hide all Twitter posts on FF, and am much happier for it. Twitter posts are very high on the noise meter. - Brian Sullivan

no, FriendFeed does not *need* twitter. But certainly the interaction between the two sites makes FriendFeed more interesting for Twitter users (who are much more voluminous at this point). Twitter is a natural place for FriendFeed to be recruiting users from. - Thomas Hawk

none of them are making money off of their users. they should both be worried about themselves.. - Terry O'Fee

Not yet, they both offer different shizz, and both have huge growth atm, as to Scoble, he can Rage Against the Twitter Machine, but it's borrowed A LOT of money lately and typically (though not in this market climate) that has to be payed back. I see twitter, with it's new suggested follow option, as becoming wider social network, spreading it's baby bird wings, getting ready to fly...tweet - sofarsoShawn <Pop-Rocks>

okay maybe friendfeed doesnt need twitter but some of its features are completely unique and provide a new dimension to socail networking via mobile tweets. if it wasnt innovative we would all be updating our statuses on myspace or facebook... but were not. Me being a relatively new user to friendfeed, i highly value twitter. - Wesley Robin Guerrero

It's okay Wesley, I've been on FF for awhile and I still value Twitter too. People seem to think there needs to be an us vs them debate constantly. Coexistance is completely possible in my eyes. It seems to be working fine right now. - Sidney

tuneage: Neko Case - “People Got a Lotta Nerve” Neko Case’s music and vocals have always been good, but it’s her songwriting that makes her great. Don’t get me wrong, her country- and gospel-influenced music rarely misses (in fact, for someone who generally doesn’t find country or gospel very appealing, I can’t seem to get enough of Neko Case),... - http://cristi.tumblr.com/post...

"So this can’t be good: Cable giant Comcast (CMCSA) turned in a fourth-quarter report card this morning that beat Wall Street’s revenue and earnings expectations. But it lost more basic subscribers than analysts had expected, and added fewer higher-end digital subs than expected." - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

seems like more and more people are canceling satellite and cable. These reoccurring monthly bills are too expensive. Better to get a standalone DVR (TiVo or Media Center) and use free OTA HDTV and supplement it with a Netflix account, especially now with Watch Now on Netflix. A lot less money than paying cable/satellite every month. - Thomas Hawk

There are those of us in Rural America that don't have OTA anything. If you want TV you MUST have Cable or Satellite. - Paul Wade

Unfortunately Comcast is the only ISP in the neighborhood where I live. When their DNS servers are running correctly it is fast, but there's too many random disconnects. I hope that Verizon FiOS comes to our neck of the woods soon. - Rene, Pro Button Pusher

Hey Rene try http://www.opendns.com/ it works great and is really reliable. Time Warner's DNS servers went down a few months back, but I was using Open DNS so it didn't affect me. - Marcus McCurdy

@chrisperez: who's going to be running WiMax? - .LAG liked that

.LAG, Sprint, of course ;) - coldbrew

@ThomasHawk: Cancelling cable is something I wish I could do. I live between Philly and NYC. I am too far from either market to get OTA HDTV. Cable is also the only way to get broadband. Dropping the cable would only save me $20 since Comcast charges more for the broadband without cable. - Khürt Williams

Anyone else see a cable industry bailout on the horizon? Their lobby is surely hard at work making the case that they provide an important public service, and that the implications if they fail will be far-reaching. - Keith McCammon

@Marcus: Thanks for the tip. Setting it up now, but interestingly enough the site is loading ex-treme-ly slow ... makes me wonder if Comcast is blocking/filtering this website. - Rene, Pro Button Pusher
