Given the choice, would you develop for Facebook or FriendFeed? I would think Facebook

Now, you have to choose FaceBook. Would you invest time in a site where you don't know what will happen? (Outside of thinking that for any startup of course)
- Rob Diana
I had a few hobby projects I was working on: no incentive to continue working on them. There's next to zero chance the API will continue in any situation; Facebook has its own platform. Facebook's platform wasn't appealing to me the last time I looked: maybe I'll go through it again.

Personally as a developer, Not FF, this deal means that all the time and effort I put into my experimental personal projects may one day actually pay off. Not a waste of time after all. FF have shown that the dream is still alive, and congrats to them for doing it in this dreadful downturn.

I think I'm done developing tools for proprietary APIs. Between Twitter turning off features last year and this shift in FriendFeed's direction and business model, I'm tired of not having control.

What are the implications of "no thanks"? Same as "Mark as read"?
- Andrew Smith
@cecily if you get a chance, go to the feedly dashboard (through dashboard link at the top right of the screen) and click on the star next to the sources you like the most and see if the what's new page looks any better. The other option is to click on the "cover" icon on the top left on the nav bar and see if that view is more diggestable. If you have specific ideas on how to make the interface more appealing let us know!
- Edwin Khodabakchian
@andrew no thanks = mark the article as read + let the feedly recommendation engine know that you did not like this recommendation. This metadata is then used with other criteria to unfluence future recommendations.

What do you guys say to the folks who say Feedly crapped all over their Google Reader (adding feeds to it)?
- David Risley
It's in this thread David: http://friendfeed.com/e... We asked for a bigger warning since the one there is easily missed, the Feedly guys chime in as to why they did it that way. It doesn't "crap" all over your feed, it does create new folders, but they are easily removed. They are working on an undo procedure as well.

iGoogle has been my home page for well over a year and what I have found is that via widgets its generally there for me to either click on gmail or to go into google reader - the other widgets are generally worth an odd glance but thats about it - I've put feedly as my home page and will see how this works out - but first impressions is a clean easy to use interface even if you have a few hundred feeds to juggle..
- Jican
Feedly is awesome: I had a few hiccups after installation, but I re-installed, and it has been a real help in 2 ways: 1) motivated me to clean up my feeds and sort them into a major category 2)motivates me daily to actually skim through and read the content that is closest to my current interests. well done!

I don't work for them, so I don't see a reason to convince you. Some people like it, some don't.
- Fleagle
Hi Chris: feedly tries to provide a magazine like summary of your google reader. Some users only care about productivity and find the magazine like interface a step backward. Some users like it and use it in concert with their google reader. Some people prefer using the magazine like interface only.

And you're very good at keeping your assumptions to yourself
- Bwana ☠
Except, they haven't really said anything. So thinking anything will or won't survive is premature. If Facebook perfectly met everyone's expectations there would be no need for war, sickness or evil deeds. Every online community is the same as every other one, if friendfeed, for whatever reason, doesn't keep doing what you want ti to do, you'll use something else. It hasn't ever been perfect and it never will be.
- Richard Lawler
I told you Richard. You're wrong. "Taylor and Cox say that the Friendfeed product will live on independently, and eventually Friendfeed will be merged into Facebook. But the Friendfeed team is not being kept whole. Some employees will now report to Cox, others to engineering head Mike Schroepfer. In my opinion that means, long term, the Friendfeed product itself is unlikely to be a big priority." http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
- Bwana ☠
Well, you told me what techcrunch's opinion is, because that's what I wanted to know. Thanks! (there's sarcasm there)

Ok let me slow it down for you. The team is splitting. The product is going to merge with Facebook. (No sarcasm)

I can wholly identify with JC's statement.
- JA Castillo
Wow Bwana...you are really bitchy in this thread...I think Richard is making some good points. If you are having issues with the people you 'accept' on Facebook there really is only one person who you can point the finger. You. Facebook makes it quite easy to NOT get involved with any person.

I really doubt we'll see any changes on FriendFeed... for better or worse. My guess is the engineering team will just switch over to working on Facebook features and functionality, FriendFeed will continue to exist as-is, with only a minimal sustaining engineering effort, and one day 6-12 months from now an effort will start to migrate users over from FF to FB.
- Ken Sheppardson
I don't understand all the crying when nothing definitive has developed yet. I don't see why the "digiratti" couldn't build another. Besides, can't Google Wave do a lot of what FF does currently? Build a community around that.
- Darrell Bell
I disagree, FF basically admitted changes are coming in their announcementn post... the verbiage was .. "for the time being"
- Bwana ☠
"FriendFeed.com will continue to operate normally for the time being."
- Bwana ☠
True Bwana. I read that too. It could be branding changes for all we know. I don't know. That's the point, none of us do.
- Darrell Bell
Taylor and Cox told TechCrunch that “the Friendfeed product will live on independently, and eventually Friendfeed will be merged into Facebook.” We all know that statement is incongruous.
- Anthony Citrano
Seriously, my true point still stands. Another one could be built if the demand is great for a FF like service. I think this should be hint for some developers to get cracking.
- Darrell Bell
Of course changes are coming someday, whether or not they had ever been acquired, things will change at somepoint. that's hardly a smoknig gun there.
- Richard Lawler
+ Ahsan Ali "That said, I will persist with FriendFeed/Facebook - I don't want to lose the friendships & connections I've made here." Bet this gives jump start to something new in each of our lives here on FF. It's organic so different for everyone. :)))

The thing with Strands is that they've changed the focus to a fitness site. So, all the aggregating looks kind of dumb there.

So SocialMedian, but it's such a PITA setting up the newgroups or whatever they're called.

If we had wanted to post stuff on FB, they would have been posted over there surely? I use FB for connecting with far away family and friends; they don't want to see my science and cancer links, it's way over their head. Posterous is nice but it's like commenting on lots of disjointed blogs; there's no easy way to see conversations other than in isolation.

I'm pretty sure it's the old black...I've been hating on them since they became irrelevant in 1991.

Nope. Check the web. "I"m quitting the iPhone" "13 reasons why Apple stole my dog's happiness" ... yeah, the cool kids club is shifting

Funny Alex, I hated Apple in 1989
- Bwana ☠
That's back when they were relevant to the industry. :)

What does that have to do with Less than Three ? :)

Don't you have an iPhone Bwana?

It's not about love or hate, it's about what works best to fulfill your computing needs and desires. That said, brand loyalists of any variety are simply morons.
- Adrian
I didn't even know about apple until 2005. Ha! And I'm not kidding. I used to argue for the windows side with my business partner, who had just come back from dubai with a MBP. :D
- vijay
Yes, I have an iPhone
- Bwana ☠
All it is, is a computer running OSX that fits in your pocket and passes as a phone
- Robert Burgin
I don't hate them. I am frustrated with the google crap right now, but I am still hoping they will step up.
- Martha
I just don't understand the Hate they have been doing the same thing for years but bar one app from the app store and all of a sudden everyone acts like they are doing something different. Nothing different and I truly believe this is due more to AT&T than apple and may turn into a good thing meaning more than one carrier gets the iphone
- Robert Burgin
Robert, I'd agree with that, but there are plenty of folks who are suddenly stating they are not buying another Mac with great fanfare
- Bwana ☠
Calacanis and even Scoble are leading the charge
- Bwana ☠
+Adrian
- Rodfather
Yeah, we're not allowed to like the app store :)
- Bwana ☠
App store is a complete failure. This is why Android, Symbian, and Blackberry and doing the same :)
- Bwana ☠
I don't have an iPhone and I hate the fact that Apple went with an exclusive deal with AT&T who I will not use but didn't stop me from keeping my macs
- Robert Burgin
The app store is a great idea, Apple's way of doing it, however, is controversal
- Bwana ☠
Android Marketplace?
- Bwana ☠
It's still an App store
- Bwana ☠
I love the App Store. It actually filled with Apps
- Rodfather
Who did that before Apple?
- Bwana ☠
Homerun by Bwana! :D
- vijay
The App Store is a hook. I sold 3 iPhones at a UPS store with it.
- Bwana ☠
Hey man, your deep seeded hate for Apple doesn't change the fact that they did something right with the App store :) Even with all the controversy surrounding it, it changed things.
- Bwana ☠
You've admitted in other threads ..don't even try it :)
- Bwana ☠
LOL, you're a trip
- Bwana ☠
Apples "issues" with the app store really only piss off the geeks, the general consumer didnt even know apps were available for win mo phones for years. The app stores innovation is bringing this all to the consumer level, and most of the recent apple hate is not even registered by the normal consumer.
- Jordan Patterson
Man Bwana what did you do to piss this guy off I have never read a thread from him and I can see the Apple hate lol
- Robert Burgin
Robert - He loves to hate Apple. It's fun to watch.
- Bwana ☠
lol go Matt go

It's a cult. They wear creepy black shirts and call themselves Genius'.

"I'm anti mac, so I can never tell if my perceptions are truth or my anti-koolaid" - Matthew DeVries
- Bwana ☠
LOL now thats funny
- Robert Burgin
And my original statement has little to do with my thoughts on the app store. :)
- Bwana ☠
Hey you said it, not me
- Bwana ☠
Because you said you were?
- Bwana ☠
Then I apologize, I read your statements as you were anti-Mac
- Bwana ☠
But I still think that the Apple closedness is a large ingredient in what makes them so great, its a fine edged sword.
- Jordan Patterson
I have 3 macs and 5 pc's and they all work perfect together
- Robert Burgin
For the past month, I've seen quite a few "I'm leaving Apple" or "As of Windows 7, I'm going PC" or "Thanks Apple/AT&T, I'm getting a Palm/G1" articles. It's not just 1 or 2, it's a growing trend. That was the reason for my original statement. If you disagree, that's fine and you may well be right, I just go by what I see.
- Bwana ☠
And my context is social media/blogging
- Bwana ☠
I use what works, so don't lump me into the Apple fanboys who can't see any wrong. I know Apple is making a lot of mistakes, but I also recognize they are doing some things right.
- Bwana ☠
I am bucking the trend then, being a new OS X convert. (though I've never been a Windows fan)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I haven't seen much "good noise" lately. That could very well be due to my RSS list.
- Bwana ☠
I've seen it to. The negative noise is growing on the web. But the real world still likes the products. Me? I can't stand the mentality of some users, but Fanboys are the same on any platform. Religious zealots and tech terrorists.
- Paul Puri
The last positive article I remember is a rumor about a new product... re: new iTunes/Blu-ray
- Bwana ☠
Bwana, aren't all the positive articles about apple just rumors and speculation about future products? That, or a review of a new product.
- Paul Puri
Paul - in my world, yup. Rumors and speculation....and Steve Jobs stalking.
- Bwana ☠
That reminds me, I haven't peeked through Steve's windows the last few minutes.
- Paul Puri
Put me in the non-hater camp. Sometimes I really dislike the group-think that happens in this echo chamber.
- Mike Doeff
I have theories in mind... (perhaps I should have blogged all this), but some of it has to do with Microsoft's latest marketing push...it's working.
- Bwana ☠
And the popularity of cloud computing.... OS is becoming less of a factor for tech heads
- Bwana ☠
I'll stop hating Apple when their EULA allows me to legally install their OS on my Dell.
- April Russo
It always feels like I am back on the playground with the apple vs pc debate my os is better than yours no my os can beat up your os nanana booboo lol Amazing that one subject can turn clearly intelligent people into 12 year olds back on the playground (yes I include myself in that lol)
- Robert Burgin
I don't hate the company. They have first rate products. It's their mentality and closed mindsets that irks me. Not to mention the barrier to entry. If the product is so great, which it is, should it not be shared with a larger segment of the population? Apple can't handle the average user. They would break under that strain.
- Paul Puri
I can deal with closed mindsets, I'm used to it. With choice, I know I can always go Linux/OSS if need be. The thing that gets on my nerves with Apple is communication. Some people love the secrecy and mysterious nature of what's coming next, but when it comes to software/hardware problems and issues, it drives me insane. It's a deafening silence.
- Bwana ☠
Especially when it comes to security. I literally want to punch someone at Apple for being so quiet
- Bwana ☠
Well I am a Huge Mac Fanboy but I also love Windows I work for a large insurance company in the IT Department and they keep me in a job lmfao I say that sitting in my house in front of 2 macs and 2 pc's lol
- Robert Burgin
Another company I used to deal with, Digidesign, used to have the whole super secret mentality about their products. Sales eventually began to slide because there was nothing to look forward to. And the product was such a high dollar value that people got angry finding out a week later that the product they just bought is obsolete because a new one was released. They started making lower priced products and marketing their products ahead of time to drum up excitement. They did much better that way.
- Paul Puri
I've hated Apple since way before it was cool :P
- Aram Zucker-Scharff
I can't focus. What was I doing before that announcement...
