Car just got hit on July 4th. Have to go to the police station on Tuesday.
that sucks! I had a Saab that got hit on the 4th in 2004. It had been parked on the corner of 4th Ave & Union St in Brooklyn and was plowed into by a drunk...
- Andy Beach
Andy: Yep, it's a brand new car as well. Barely 6 months old. Plus, the guy sped away after that!

I confess I've mostly moved over to FriendFeed. http://friendfeed.com/leolapo... - it's busier but lends itself better to conversation.

I pulled the trigger. Sorry Twitter.
- Leo Laporte
I've added friendfeed to my social web, but I'm not giving up on Twitter yet. Thank goodness for Flock and ping.fm
- Steve Burton
looking forward to your conversations over here Leo.
- Thomas Hawk
I like the idea of friendfeed - but the simplicity of twitter is its appeal. I wonder where Pownce and Jaiku will sit in this msg evolution
- dann weatherhead
I have a feeling that this time things gonna better than the Jaiku move.
- Du Senyao Peter
i havent been able to make the move - are there twitteriffic-like apps for FF as well? that would help my jump...
- Andy Beach
I think twitter's UI is better and I wish there was something like twitterrific out there

This is funny, I just signed up for a twitter account. With what appears to be a mass exodus from twitter to other services, is there any point in me building up a network over there?
- Eddy Cole
I want to make FF part of my routine, but it's just so damn cluttered -- plus I don't see any mobile integration yet. It's almost there, but it just needs a little more work to really take the Twitter throne
- Noah Mittman
I remain a bit grumpyabout FF; I cannot shake the feeling that I am only here because Twitter failed me so many times. Anyway, here I am!
- sage brennan
from twhirl
Andy, try twhirl
- Graham Garland
The busy UI and lack of users put me off. Perhaps if it didn't try and link in with Twitter it would be easier to follow?
- Oli from the-iBlog

I have left twitter also, but now use Plurk. With the newly added search, I can find conversations about just about any topic.
- Jon
I am really liking FF for conversations. I like Twitter for status/presence updates. Isn't that what is was designed for? Want to know where I am, and what I am having for lunch? Check Twitter. Want to know what I am interested in and reading? Check Friendfeed.
- Sean Brady
Glad to see you over here in FF Leo!! welcome! BTW twitter pulled their own trigger - no guilt with that....just remorse
- Susan Beebe
If Twitter had a closed beta to better manage scaleability, but at a const of having a large user base, would it be as big as it is?

Is that it Leo you are off Twitter ? , ok kids grab the life jackets
- NA76
Leo, what is your preferred way of FriendFeeding? Post once via Twitter and resume the conversation via FF or some other way?
- Alexander Kucera
Leo, you are so fickle! I think you have TADD...Technology Attention Deficit Disorder. :)
- BISQ
Yeah, it's almost like Jaiku!
- Randal Schwartz
Welcome to the darkside
- Dave Peck
I'm trying that move too. A lot of info to sort so far
- Michael Leis
from twhirl
Leo, I violently agree. I think reliability is the killer asset.
- shelisrael1
I've done the same. Twitter is dead to me. LOL :P
- Grant Gochnauer
I just created a FF account too. It's a shame. I love Twitter.
- Matthew Vaughan
I don't get the big Hoopla. FriendFeed is a Commenting System and a Medium to get Content on. Twitter is a Messaging system. Sure you can (pressed enter here accidentally) 'switch over', but really, Twitter could be thought to be something completely different than friendfeed
- Tyler (Chacha)
from twhirl
I'd like to see more of my twitter friends using a "lifestream" commenting system like FF, or see Twitter turn reliable and then add a better threading system for replies.. but until someone gets their act together I am happy using something that has the capability to do very similar things. So I'm happy to be caught up in the current migration toward a meme that works. Update: and one that is editable;-)

i had to disconnect for a few months due to family health issues , missed it , but Im back on it now , friendfeed seems to be the "watercooler" now
- johnpiercy
Eddy Cole, the services are completely different. Try them both out. Many people, myself included, use both services. For some reason people want to make this a contest between Twitter and FF.
- Mike Doeff
@Mike thats what I've been trying to say, Twitter is a messaging service, FF is a Aggregator/Commentor. Very, Very Different
- Tyler (Chacha)
from twhirl
thanks Graham - I had no idea twhirl support FF as well!
- Andy Beach
@Mike, thanks. I'll give both a shot and see what happens.
- Eddy Cole
Chacha, totally agree. Baffles me why people continue to compare apples to oranges on this. This blog post is worth reading... http://www.winextra.com/2008...
- Mike Doeff
I am in the conversion process. And actually what it seems is that you don't have to abandon twitter, FF will just post for you
- Edward
I found myself doing this a couple weeks ago. Every time I wanted to go to twitter it was down, so I just started using ping.fm to post, and following all my feeds of FF. I agree with the ease of conversation on FF.
- Melissa Goetsch
FF definitely has some nice advantages over Twitter (or probably more over Jaiku for that matter) which people with tons of scattered content can benefit from. On the other hand there are still tons of features I'd love to see added here (esp. on an API level). In the meantime, FF just has to hit the web-mainstream ;-)
- Horst Gutmann
I would like FF a lot more if it pulled in my friends from other services. As of right now, all it really seems to do is aggregate my lifestream. I'm too lazy to manually add each rss feed to FF, and there's no way my friends are going to sign up for FF, after it was a giant PITA to get them to sign up for twitter.
- Austin Brown
Is there an iPhone client for FriendFeed? I do alot of messaging on the go.

you have inspired me to check out FF too .. so far - I likey! Thanks Leo!

"but lends itself better to conversation.” could you quantify with your own experience as to what it means "Bettter conversation" ? We first had blogs /RSS , twitter , wownce which all seems to raise the bar on the converational index.. but what do you mean "better to conversation" wrt to FF ?
- Peter Dawson
On Leo! One! Chaud devant! --french people will understand ;-)

from NoiseRiver
@Austin That is what imaginary friends option in FF is for. You can add most of the services. There are several guides, linked to in this very thread and others available by googling that give you the info you need to set it up so they can have the freedom of using twitter, etc... and let you have the option of moving.. It doesn't have to be a competition between FF and Twitter. But if...

Yep just found someone I follow on FF, don't on Twitter, and I thought, what's the point of following them on Tw? 8-\
- Brian Carter
btw Leo, you gotta read this too -- http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Peter Dawson
@Brian Carter was that person me ;) ? I think this weekend showed how friend feed can fill the void of being connected and following the thoughts of those who we have grown to trust online. Since then, I have noticed that the traffic on twitter (at least for me) has gone down significantly by the people I was following and didn't really know in person or know well. My inner circle are still using twitter and the mobile factor is still huge. The real question is can I still be active on FF while at work.
- Andrea Baker
Reasons desktop app for friendfeed is not as usable as webpage: 1. usually quicker to navigate high volume on web page. 2. desktop app will surely be chasing new functionality (i.e. retwitter comment feature on FF web but not in twhirl).
- Boris Gordon
from twhirl
Thank you, Andy
- Robert Hafer
hey Leo, you should try Friendfeed in Twhirl, just click on the Twhirl logo and add Friendfeed as a new account, already 5% of all the comments there
- Loic Le Meur
try identi.ca
- Tyler Gillies
I just wish FF had a way to dynamically collapse conversations for clear view of post titles. And then selectively expand the comments to see that conversation. It would be like a dynamic feed reader.
