Comparing friendfeed and Twitter. Anyone with strong opinions? Why one and not the other?

Overall I like FriendFeed better. Threaded conversations are easier to follow, you can comment on anything pulled into FriendFeed, you can have discussion rooms (& private rooms).
- josh neff, geek at large
Yeah, I can see that making sense. I feel kind of badly that everything I do on twitter comes into FF, even when it's...kind of irrelevant. :/
- Rochelle Mazar
It's all about the community. My local network is on Twitter, so I enjoy it more. I connect with librarians on friendfeed, though so that's my "mode" when I'm here. It's less about the interface for me, and more about the connections. (Primarily)
- ɥsıuɐʎɹ
To me it feels like trying to compare apples to apple pie. Twitter is cool, and has its fans. Friendfeed combines the cool of twitter with a bunch of other ingredients to make something else. They're both awesome and tasty, but it depends a lot on what you want.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Still learning about friendfeed - but like Twitter better currently due to apps that let me read twitter in my Gmail window.
- celticlibrarian
I prefer the World Wide Web as a tool. It's got so many features - especially services like "Google," "twitter" and "friendfeed" that help me connect with so many people and ideas. :)
- ɥsıuɐʎɹ
Twitter is simpler. They broke replies recently which can be a good reason to move to FriendFeed, but otherwise I find myself using Twitter more than FF.
- Uldis Bojars
A part of the reason pro using Twitter is its great application ecosystem. For example, Twitterrific for iPhone/iPod touch provides very good user experience. Can anyone recommend an iPhone application for FriendFeed which provides the same level of functionality and aesthetics?
- Uldis Bojars
FF does allow the option of hiding "types" of a friend's feeds, so you do have the option of hiding say, all of a person's delicious feeds but keeping the others available to you. I prefer Twitter to FF myself, largely b/c that's where my friends are.
- mita
Strong opinion? Maybe not. Twitter didn't work for me, but that was more than a year ago. FF currently does work for me. "For me" is a key here. (Maybe I'm verbose? 140 words is 500% more than 140 characters.)
- Walt Crawford
Twitter vs. Friendfeed: 1. Friendfeed is good for conversations. 2. Friendfeed has a relatively small user base and its growth seems have been stalled for some time. 3. Many Friendfeed conversations tend to be shallow; most of the best minds out there in the real world aren't Friendfeed users. 3. Twitter feels more dynamically diverse than Friendfeed, and less ingrown and cliquish. 4....

- Sean McBride
Just noticed again: a page of Twitter blows away a page of Friendfeed for useful news. 20 really strong news items per page, easy to absorb almost instantly. 5 seconds of scanning, and I am much better informed about the world. If one wants to discuss a Twitter item, just push it over to Friendfeed.
- Sean McBride
Given the, um, neutral nature of Sean's comments, it's worth pointing out that both of them far exceed Twitter's limits. ("Most of the best minds out there" may not be Twitter users either...)
- Walt Crawford
Many very smart people, like Tim O'Reilly and Jack Welch, hang out on Twitter You need to know how to find them. Regarding the character limit: I often post my tweets from Friendfeed. :) Another feature in Friendfeed's favor. As I said: use them in tandem for best results.
- Sean McBride
I agree with Sean as far as using them in tandem for best results.
- Laura Norvig
What convention should I adopt for commenting on retweets? I have seen '>' '::' and many others. #microsyntax
Why not use RT? In contrast to other options it explains what it stands for.

I'm like Jandy. I blog in spurts at the moment, simply due to being busy with other stuff. Which is why I love having Twitter and Tumblr because it allows me to make quick microblog entries when I feel like I need to say something. When my time frees up, I'll blog more regularly. To me, FF is like a conversation with friends while blogging is storytime at the public library.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
+1 Akiva. I wasn't a super prolific blogger to begin with, but my social networks offered a lot more interactivity than my blog did, so I don't post on my blog so much anymore.

I'm thinking I might start posting most everything to my blog, where my post notifications are forward to FF via Twitter. I can monitor any resulting conversations on FF via the real time FF widget.
- Christopher A Carr
To clarify, I'm thinking I'll post everything of any substance at all to my blog, while using FF only for "likes," and for pulling in "favorites" and "wish list" entries from Youtube and Amazon and the like, and for pulling in Tweets. This way, I'll feel less compelled to differentiate between blog entries and substantive FF posts by way of making the former much longer. This should fatten up the blog. With the real time FF widget in the blog, I'm thinking this will be a nice little arrangement.

Comment on: Did Google Just Expose Semantic Data in Search Results? - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
This is an interesting development. Recently Google search results also started to display richer information about forum and bulletin board posts. For example: "Weblogs Forum - What about a decorator module version 3.0?" - 5 posts - Last post: Dec 3, 2008 - http://www.artima.com/forums... Does anyone here know when it was introduced and point to more info on how it works? (My guess: it scrapes HTML of forum pages to find semi-structured information about number of posts and their creation date. Unless a forum is already mirrored as a Google Group.)

I've always felt that semantic web search is a lousy business to be in exactly for this reason. If there's any real value for consumers there (and I guess there is), then why does people think anybody other than Google will own that market just as they own traditional search? Google will be the semantic search engine of the future for 3 reasons: 1) They can: they have the money to build...

I am reasonably new on the RSS bandwagon (only about 6 mths) but I can see what Jason is getting at. If you have to go out of your way to get the info, you are more likely to value it and less likely to get distracted.

The full potential of RSS feeds has barely been tapped. In the future, RSS (or an evolutionary variant) may well provide the framework for managing all of your daily information flow, in all departments. Advanced recommender systems and personal assistants will dynamically prioritize and reprioritize the flow of feed items based on your behavior. AI-based machine experts in various domains will collect and process huge flows of information from RSS feeds.

The other side of the argument: when technology and culture are changing at a very rapid pace, a short attention span and an ability to turn on a dime in the face of new ideas and innovation can provide a competitive advantage. But executing ideas successfully requires patience, concentration and focus -- the ability to bear down hard on a single idea. Social media can be more a distraction than a help, depending on who is using the medium.
- Sean McBride
But you don't turn on a dime based on how you feel at that moment. You turn on a dime taking -everything- into consideration. That big-picture view is what makes such a turn effective.

Much of the news out there is interesting and fluent FFers know that like is just really promote.

How do you "like" a decapitation on a Greyhound, even if it is a newsworthy story worthy of being promoted?

I think "Mark" would be a better tag -- that way it could be used any way you want without guilt or specific connotation
- Brian Sullivan
But that might confuse all the various users named "Mark."
- David Worrell
It should be more like a thumbs up/thumbs down vote like digg or reddit
- Mike Hussein Cohen
hmmm.. "Mark" could be good. I wonder if we should run that one by the "Mark" group first though, I think they have a room here somewhere.

I support any and all features named after me.

I use the Like button the same way. There is a lot of activity on my feed, even though I'm not following that many people. I also use the Like button more as a bookmark, so I can go back to certain posts. I do agree, a scale button for FF would be great, or even something like the noise filter on social|median, so I can scale just how much activity I want to see from certain people. It...

Tag? I haven't seen anybody called Tag -- but there probably is

By liking you put your name on it and thus give it a weight proportional to your name - promote, otherwise said :) But I do believe it is rather a common sense thing.

I will agree with one thing, liking is a great FF bookmarking tool
- Mike Fruchter
Isn't it really "share"
- Bryan Clark
I also use the "Like" button as a bookmarker. I'm not thrilled with the terminology either, as it's similar to the concept of having "friends" on myspace.

"Interesting"?
- Holger Eilhard
so very true. I felt so when I first used Digg, how can I actually Digg a horrible story, it was confusing at best.

+1 to Brian about "Mark". Using "like" has been confusing for me too some times. I am increasingly using it as a bookmarker.

I agree with 'Mark' or possibly 'share'
- Mike Hussein Cohen
"interesting" or "push"?
- ※Fu※
"Star", "Favorite", "Bookmark", ...
- Uldis Bojars
"Share", "Unread", "★", and "DO NOT WANT"
- Mona Nomura
I've always thought it should be "interesting" not "like".
- Yolanda
I'd not mind slashdot-style ranking. Interesting, Funny, Informative, Trolling, etc.

I also use Like from my iPhone, but when using FireFox, I have the FriendFeed Read Later Greasemonkey script and that helps. Of course, having the feature built-in would help across all platforms.

"Like" is problematic because in instances like the Canada bus beheading news story - the event was extremely interesting, and awful and curious but not "likeable." Also since there isn't a "dislike" option either maybe there could be a "meh" or a shrug.
- JoEllen
I don't want a Digg system here. I think that commenting serves to convey anyones dislike of the post. Its easy to like anything. Its harder to give constructive criticisim - or even a well-thoughout opinion.
- Roberto Bonini
you can always use the read later script/tab in firefox as a book mark
- Richard Binhammer
*laughs* @ Mona's suggested DO NOT WANT
- Leslie Poston
Mark is good by me, as you can keep those 'chosen' items for later review by email. / Share is already a choice by the service itself (Reshare) even though it gets to your credit without I think actually totally link to the 'original' post.

'Like a lot' and BORING

The other proposal in the article was the ranking of friends from 1 to 10 for filtering purposes. If friendship reciprocation is a junior high issue now, imagine how the social dynamic will be with the new system? "You didn't see my post? How dare you set me at 2? I am going to set you at 1, so there!"

Why don't you just use the READ LATER Greasemonkey script??
