I have heartbreaking news. I've been asked to relay that the amazing person we know here as carlotta fancypants aka extra super cutie passed away in her sleep in the early morning of Friday, July 23, 2010. I do not have many details to pass along. I can say she was not physically well for some time. I do know this world lost something and grew a...
I am so sorry…. My most heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. We were the most casual of acquaintances, but I always knew she'd make for a best friend. She was a lovely person and will be sorely missed. Farewell, Carlotta.

I was just looking at her flickr pics. She looks like she was a lovely person. I'm sad I didn't get to know her other than a few threads I remember seeing her reply to. RIP :(

"Bernie Ecclestone has denied paying a bribe to a German banker arrested last week for corruption. Gerhard Gribkowsky, once representing former F1 owner Bayerische Landesbank, is charged with accepting $50 million amid the sale of the sport's commercial rights to its current owners CVC five years ago."

Today I TOOK MY LAST DOSE OF FEMARA. After 5 straight years of faithfully taking one pill a day and numerous checkups and mammograms and sonograms and bone scans I NOW DECLARE THAT MY BREAST CANCER IS OVER.
They say you are never "cured" but I say Oh Yes I Am. Wonder if I'll see any change now that 5 years of side effects will end.

(posted to Quora as well) When comparing the the once unique features of Friendfeed to these other platforms, Friendfeed largely still has the edge. The rich, dynamic, customizable nature of Friendfeed is still untouched by the me-too enhancements of other social platforms. Plus, the people, oh the people. They continue to be the BEST user community you can find.

(posted to Quora) Friendfeed is the one network where the features are powerful without overpowering interaction with too many options or settings. It's easy to get up to speed, filter by user or keyword & manage threaded private & public conversations. Friendfeed is self-policed, nearly spam-free and reliant on natural selection - i.e. the good stuff floats to the top. I can't think of another social network that fits this description (anymore)

I can "like" something in Friendfeed without having to compromise my security.

What's amusing is that even with out ANY development for over a year and a half, Friendfeed still beats most of the alternatives hands down for features and usability.

For attention addicts like myself, FriendFeed is somewhat better than it was a year ago. Last year, I could post all week and not get any notice. Anyway, I can still find interesting conversations here, and it just works better than anything else.

I'm like Willow Smith's hair. I whip back and forth from here and other sites.

I think this issue may vary from place to place, depending and based on the local terms. For example; When European, and especially hot blooded Mediterranean people find it more fun and easy to use, it might not fit in the same cool way to American people or for the countries who have more and better alternatives for such an on-line service. I think also the purpose of usage is very decisive too...

I'm going to try to register so I can add my two cents. The bottom line, for me, is the fact that no other service I've found so far does as nice of a job of aggregating the varied services that Friendfeed handles. A lot of the services I've tried don't aggregate them together, they just offer you the ability to post to various sources from one place.

Leaving Friendfeed? Why? Where's the alternative?
