Weekly reviews are tough. You don't get any points for doing them, and your life isn't *hugely* better for doing them. But your organization tends to slide down the deep end as a result. - Brent Newhall

what does your weekly review entail? Sounds like something I should be doing. - Trixie Ferguson Gray

Agree! - Evgeni Leshtanski

at the moment, yes. but that doesn't need to be the case in future - Jamie

Yes to both currently. - Paul W. Swansen

Of course its both... as Shel says: "New Media don't kill Old Media." Does this mean Twitter is now 'old media' - David Phillips

Agree. Twitter for a-synchronous talk, Friendfeed for more extended discussion. For me that is:) - Martijn Verver via twhirl

I've been preaching that for awhile now... Use twitter as a broadcast and FF for the conversation. It's a relationship that works. - Vince DeGeorge

absolutely agree, but I am wondering whether they are going to be the "defacto" standards. - Rob Diana

Agree. - John Samuelson

I hope it will be only Friendfeed soon. Doesn't anybody else get tired of all these different kind of networks? Sometimes monopoly is a good thing. Let's all head over to MSN ;-) - Rutger Blom via twhirl

mine is a little more extreme - friendfeed mostly & twitter rarely - i do push my ff's to twitter & i check my twitter replies & dm sometimes - i would like to get to the point where all my friends are in friendfeed and i no longer need to go to twitter at all - i used to like whales ;) - mike "glemak" dunn

Agree. They are different and both ueful in different ways. I see no need to choose between them just yet. I'm using Plurk too, which is different again - very informal conversation. - jjprojects

Disagree. Reason? Time. I don't have time for multiple services. For me, right now at least, it's FF. - Steve Rubel

Jury is still way, way out. - Warner Crocker

tiwtter is short and sweet.... ff is for discussions... i think they both have a niche - c010depunkk via twhirl

Disagree. You needn't use one to use the other. And, like Steve, I'm serviced-out. - Chris Baskind

agreed - Mona N

You don't need one to use the other but they sure are handy to use together - JohnBfromMemphis via twhirl

Haven't maid up my mind yet, but it seems that the different services and their approaches fill different needs. Undecided for now! - tekspectator

Exactly! Why does it have to be "either" "or"? - Steve

I definitely agree. It is frustrating to have people insist one is better than the other. Two totally different beasts. - Shawn Farner via twhirl

could not agree more. probably the best twitter, FF comment in a long time. - Bastian

Agree! At this point, FF's comment functionality isn't good enough to replace Twitter for me. With Twhirl, it doesn't seem like tool overload to use both. - jen robinson via twhirl

Apart from twitter's SMS interface.. what is missing (for you) in FF? @ ? - Kishore Balakrishnan

Its FF only. reaons against Twitter : (a) Twitter whaling to often (b) not easy to track/thread twitter replies together. FOR FF (1) FF stable (2) FF Conov enabler/agggreagator (3) I like it better :)- - Peter Dawson

An integrated solution with both would be best. Twittering out of FriendFeed - that's my dream! - Matthias Schwenk

Oh definitely agree. They are symbiotic beasts - Deepak

Agree absolutely, when social media tools complement, the sum become greater than the parts - Charlie Hope via twhirl

@ Matthias you can comment back from FF in Twitter already... - Charlie Hope via twhirl

and, and, and... there's Utterz, Flickr, blog, etc. etc. etc. -- so, yes. It all goes together. FriendFeed has a chance to become a hub (the way Twitter is foe me now, but more so), if it can somehow tame itself - Doug Haslam via twhirl

Funny how this comes to my attention now as Twitter is not updating for me, but FF is. I love how I can reply to FF via @Twhirl. That is a dynamic combintion. - Tracy Lee Carroll via twhirl

@Matthias I wonder if someone has created a tool that takes your own FF posts and makes a tweet from it? You'd need to turn off tweets in FF otherwise there would be a feedback loop that would eventually destroy the universe. - Elliot Tucker

agree - Dieter Schwarz

elliot: twitterfeed does that, put in your ff atom feed and remove your twitter feed from ff - mike "glemak" dunn

Agree....finally somebody comes out and says it as it should be said :) - Arjun

it's both right now - if you have group of people in Twitter then it is both - otherwise the conversation is moving more into friendfeed on a greater range of topics so for those not so tied to twitter it is twitter or friendfeed - riaz

Disagree. Twitter has crossed the line. It is dead to me and too much of the time it is dead to everyone. - Dave Slusher

I kind of agree. There's too much noise on FriendFeed to have simple, conversational, exchanges. - Bill Bittner

thanks mike - Elliot Tucker

If Twitter doesn't get its act together, it will be FriendFeed and no Twitter. I'm revisiting FriendFeed today after a nice hiatus - Michael Koby via Alert Thingy

Completely agree. - Parth Awasthi via twhirl

This is be being real: I love Twitter, and don't get me wrong, I think FriendFeed is cool, too.. but I think Facebook will ultimately adopt the killer features of both and wipe them out. - Shawn Farner via twhirl

'&&' ! '||' - Andy C

Elliot, you can try feeding your FF entries feed into Twitterfeed.com. - Dewald Pretorius

And probably many other services we'll adopt - Sally Robinson

Agreed. FF, to me, is more of a reading rather than authoring experience - Michael Lehman

Agree. Friend Feed is my Twitter extension for comments and groups - Jon Bishop

Yep, I use both. - Brent Newhall

Agree! - Sarah Perez

Agree; tell me though, does Pownce = Twitter + FriendFeed [or vice-versa] or am I just being thick? Twhirl posts to Pownce for me as well, but taking Rafe Needleman's advice and not tracking multiple communities. FF good for posts too long for Twitter - Justin Guy Souter via twhirl

FriendFeed > Twitter for me. I feel more value when I post here first. - (steve isaacs)

agree, and, in between Twitter and Friendfeed , many other indispensible things are included. - Nikos Anagnostou

Agree! - Marc Dierens

twitter for messaging, friendfeed for aggregation - Tyler

Agree 100% - Mike Doeff

What Mike said. AND is IMPT. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I agree. I still just wish that twitter is more stable. - Alan Le

agree!! - edythe

I definitely agree. FriendFeed is not a Twitter replacement. - Jake (aka Jawee) via twhirl

agree for now, but not forever... - Jeremy Toeman

well I would have to agree as I do use both.. it seems obvious they are different things. - Karl via twhirl

http://venturebeat.com/2008/06... - MG Siegler

Both - but grudgingly. Honestly? The only reason I go to FF is because some of my Twitterpals migrated here and won't come back. Twitter is my main gal - FF is my Friday night stand-in. If I could do away with FF I would. - Lucretia Pruitt

Twitter is too myopic to last much longer. Our online lives are a lot more complicated than 140 characters. - David Weiner

How much time to we all have?? There are use cases for both twitter and friend feed. Some people WILL choose one or the other. There are functional aspects that i like about both. For me it is both. - Rodney Rumford

Its neither - it's what fits your structure and how you want to connect. If you want actual conversations and build on relationpships, IMO, Plurk is good at that. FF seems too cluttered but aggregates a lot information together. Twitter is still good for me and is a great broadcast tool, some communication, and a lot of industry heads that you can learn from. - Sonny Gill

What the heck, throw in Plurk and you got a deal. - Rick Wolff

It's becoming less and less so. I'd much rather have one service I can do it all on and FriendFeed satisfies that much better. Twitter still has things FF doesn't though so for what FF doesn't satisfy, I will continue to use Twitter for. - Jesse Stay via twhirl

Totally agree. - karen2

I suppose I could go with the AND if FF offered a pure stream like twitter. I really don't like the threaded conversation presentation ... but maybe that's because I mostly use twirl? - Clint

Agree *completely*! - Kasey Sistrunk Anderson

You're almost right. I get what you're getting at. But the two are different and will grow separate paths with some common features. - phil baumann

phil, if they do grow in separate paths, that's great! I'll continue using both! However, I will not continue to use both for the same reasons. I'm removing the duplicate effort lately and consolodating what I can over to FriendFeed, leaving the remaining effort to Twitter. - Jesse Stay via twhirl

My other concern is that Twitter just doesn't have the expertise up high to make it a successful service. You will see the FF founders frequently engaged in conversations about FF on their service. I have yet to see a single Twitter founder engage in any of the critiques or compliments about their service on Twitter. - Jesse Stay via twhirl

FF ideal for social discovery as long as folks hooking up enough of their services. I like the "noise" of FF. - Stephen Francoeur

...and Plurk, and Facebook, and Pownce, and Jaiku, and more to come. Twitter for its simplicity and all the add-on apps and all the others for conversations or smaller groups with specific interests. - Brenda Young

agree! - Clay Newton

Agree! To me, it's "FriendTweed" - David Cook

Just for you Jeremiah (Just a rough draft) http://tinyurl.com/55eof3 - David Cook

currently it's only Friendfeed cause twitter has lowered the allowed API requests. I don't use Twitter via web - Frank Hamm

Completely agree - Peggy Gartin

Pretty much agree. - Bec

Twitter+FriendFeed! - Igor Poltavskiy

I think this will be the next disruptive technology, the big surprise: you and your friends will all know where each other are. Quick meetups over coffee will suddenly be easy. - Brent Newhall

Services like Brightkite will only become useful if you're using it with RL friends or even virtual friends in your geographic area. Of course, these services will be most valuable to those who are constantly on the move. - Shey

I've been using Brightkite in earnest for the past couple of weeks, and there are two things that are making this a pointless exercise: 1) Brightkite loses my texts, or doesn't recognize them, even though I'm using the correct syntax. And it's a pain in the ass to text every time I stop somewhere. 2) My two highest locations, by far, of course, are where I live and where I work. Not very interesting. - Mark Trapp

Not sure about Brightkite the service but I have blocked all Brightkite messages on FF (and wish there was a way to block them on Twitter). Who TF cares in the FF or Twitter context where you are other than potential stalkers? - Brian Sullivan
