People like Twitter cause it does so little. You can't compete with Twitter by *adding* to a pile of features.

I don't like Twitter because it's horrible for photographers. Text only is so boring. Images add so much to the equation in my opinion.

Thomas that's more or less what I was saying. (Limited to 140 chars per tweet.)

How did you find FriendFeed?

When I would search for things, FF posts from the History of Blogging profile would always turn up in my results. I joined so I could follow that profile, and hated it for the first month or so.
- FFing Enigma
Probably other twitter peeps. I resisted for many months though since I was happy with my lifestreaming solution. I gave in and was pleasantly surprised with the community

I don't even remember. Probably Mashable or something.

My brother, Robert. Maybe you've heard of him? Hehe.

Scoble Tweeted about a conversation he had going on here which I joined. I blogged about it right away at http://www.growmap.com/robert-... and have been promoting FF ever since. I'm still waiting for you all to add your FriendFeed Friends Lists at http://www.growmap.com/friendf... - that post gets promoted every time someone asks about FriendFeed and provides dofollow links back to your site.
- Gail Gardner
Still finding my way around...but then, I'm still a novice to this sort of thing

Via facebook, before I found twitter, but only now learning the value of FF

It must have been a blog somewhere I don't remember precisely but for the first eight months or so I used it nearly exclusively for its private rooms where I set up different feeds

I found it quite entertaining and full of verve.

TC blog post (can't believe I'm the only one), but I still wasn't interested. With the release of the real-time feature, I bookmarked it. When time allowed, I registered. Finally, I started using it a couple months ago.

FF user Nine invited me last summer. As someone who likes to register at new sites, and who would follow Nine just about anywhere (except into the bathroom), I signed up immediately. Took me a bit longer to start actively using FF, though.

I saw people talking about it on Pownce. At first I thought the idea was totally obnoxious. That I would want to re-add friends all over again in an effort to aggregate my social networks was just too burdensome. I was convinced that socialthing would be a more enjoyable experience. And as is usually the case, I was very wrong. :)
- Andrew
And is that "nice robot" cheaper than a Roomba, cause it could make a killing on the singles scene at bars.

the need for a second feed that I couldn't get thrown off of. I joined every social net out there. my plan was to run feeds into all of them through hacking twitterfeed. this ended up being unneeded because someone created ping.fm and hello.txt. my guess was that I would need as many social nets as possible because I wasn't going to play nice. I knew that from the get go. it became more...
