Hah proves my point of the Lite version not being a twitter killer =D Western media is crazy they don't understand why a company would make a lighter version of the site!

You mean this is Facebook's move against Orkut?

If it will make Facebook faster and more "pro" that would be great.
- Avi Joseph
It's definitely faster, Avi. But I don't think it's a "pro" version, at least not yet in its Beta shape.

As I said in another case it doesn't matter. That drop comes just before the massive influx of new users in four to six months from now. That's especially true if they don't disappear into being nothing once more.

Charlie: Yes if we could be Assured that friendfeed will still be developed as before and will remain an open system, then it will survive.

I'd like to see the ability to comment on someones else comment, instead of doing the @ thing, why not have a button after the persons name (once they made a comment) that says 'reply' and it turns into a threaded like thingy. Something like what DISQUS does with they're reply system (below)

But, I would like to see a formalized reply system. Heck, I would even be happy with @replies, using the FriendFeed username like twitter dows. That way, anyone who starts a comment with @jworthington, I could not only see it on a Mentions page but it would be highlighted in some way live on the page, maybe using a light yellow background or some type of font adjustment. Threaded conversations don't work in realtime. They may work in some static, after the fact reading but for real time conversations, no.
- Johnny Worthington
Let's divide this request into two components: new functionality (threaded or multi-tier comment tree), and implementation (special button or dropdown menu to invoke comment threading). Ad #1: I don't know much about FFeeders intentions, but it looks pretty clear-cut to me that hierarchical comments never have been on the agendum. With luck it'll stay this way [and some of us know why,...

To those who don't think threaded conversations work in realtime, don't forget that FF is not real time for many users. I live in Australia but most of the conversations I have here are with people from the US. They're not often realtime and as such it can be difficult to keep track of multiple threads in a conversation when there is no easy way to see who is replying to whom, and when.
- Mark
@ianf I think your suggestion of hypertextual links would be a good compromise. There should also be a link added to the comment being responded to so that one can jump directly to the response, as well as being able to click on a link in the response to be able to jump back up to the comment being responded to.
- Mark
@Mark, I second your suggestion. The "Reply" button should, IMO, immediately opens a new comment textbox prefixed with "@someone" as a hyperlink. The "@someone" hyperlink might be outside the textbox (to prevent accidental edit/deletion), and when the "Post" button is clicked, that hyperlink will be clickable (duh), pointing directly to the Comment that's being replied.

Apps in this screenshot are exactly the same as on an iPhone, which is the worst-case scenario I can think of. Look at the playing vid, it so cluttered compared to the new QuickTime X which will be available in SL. If there's going to be a MacBook Touch (or whatever you like to call it :)), it needs to run SL and not just an iPhone running iPhone OS with a larger screen.

I dunno, looks fantastic but think of how much cleaning you'd have to do. The screen would all be fingermarks, and what would happen to eating in front of the computer while working, which I seem to do a lot of the time?

While still fake, the screenshot claims it could run iPhone apps AND native OS X apps. Look at Safari on the right. This would really be awesome if they do take that route.

Interesting concept. I like the idea.

"There's nothing here that didn't exist in 1993 via IRC and Usenet".... Actually you're wrong. IRC and Usenet, like successors Facebook and Twitter were/are all about conversations with ocasional nuggets of information. Friendfeed was all about nuggets of information with eventual conversations around them.

- sean percival
"Bret and the gang owe it all to us and we have now been paid in full." This would be true, Akiva if Facebook had bought friendfeed for the content...instead they bought it for the talent. I think this could have happened regardless of community involvement, which is why it's an even deeper betrayal.

Why is it a betrayal? Friendfeed is a BUSINESS....

I don't know, Akiva. I've had a lot of good experiences here. Among them was getting to know Robert Scoble and his tag-alongs. I feel like they won me as a user with the technology and community they gave me. It's their party. They get to say when it's over.

That's a direct insult to: (1) everyone who is not part of "us" [whoever your 'us' points to; not me] (2) the brilliant engineering of the FF team [because if it wasn't for your 'us', FB would not have come to them with $50 million].

If you want to know who the core group of users are, just check out ffholic. And if the FF team is insulted, then they should've better prepared themselves for the backlash that they had to know was coming.

Without the users friendfeed is nothing but lines of code.Actually, without anyone to use it, it would be useless code. Sure VC invested in it, but so did we. And the ff team and VC win and the rest of the investors (us) lose.

Thnx, Jason, I try. I just think that it is a self-fulfilling prophecy to say "OMG FB bought FF, it's gonna destroy the community!" and then go around doing everything we can to polarize ourselves.

Oh, Akiva, I am not pointing the finger at you at all! The tone is the issue here...upset is turning into angry too much. I am not saying you made a cliquey statement, but people went there.

What I am urging ALL of us (including me) is to be careful and live up to the standards that have made FF great, even if FF goes bye-bye.

Akiva - I am a Scoble "tag-along" as you derisively labelled me/us, so I too resent your holier than thou tone and attitude
- Brian Sullivan
Brian, you need to read through the comments.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Brian...are you here responding and posting? Then you are not who was being referred to. The tag-alongs are those who just go to add numbers and then don't interact at all. The very fact that you saw the comment excludes you from who the comment is about.
- Neal Jansons
Neal, ah, got you. With how tense things are around here right now, it's terribly easy to read the negative into everything.
- Akiva Moskovitz
And for the record, I don't buy into FFholic too much. Follower count is just not a good metric for judging a community. A lot of people I consider "core group" here are not in the top 20.
- Neal Jansons
Neal, true, which is why I referred specifically to the top 20 most active users and not the most popular.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Now thats one post on FF which I've really really really liked...

Akiva...I know, that is exactly why I am urging all of us to be careful. I am trying to willfully ignore things that seem provocative.
- Neal Jansons
Funny, i woulda thought that "core groups" (and there appear to be several claiming the mantle) kinda sorta goes completely against the type of shared community ethos I thought this place was all about.
- Thom Kennon
Thom...core groups are a natural sociological phenomena. They are unavoidable, due to loci of interaction and convergent socialization. I participate in no ethos that pretends like some hippie ideal is going to subvert basic rules of interaction. In any case where there is a community of sufficient size, those who participate more become the core group. Only way not to have one is to have no community or no participation.
- Neal Jansons
I would like to add that just by participating, you're already 'in' on FriendFeed.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I would agree w/ Thom. This week I am more active then Akiva, but I think we are equal as we both are active even though we are in different circles. Now does this make me part of a "core" anything- who knows. Akiva is right, it is the active users that make this happen.
- Joe
I don't know about that.
- Joe
Deakins, contributing is one thing; caring about how many people see your contribution is another.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Neal - yes, totally get the sociological phenomena. I'm talking about how people elevate themselves in comparative self-worth by striving to exclude others not in their "core group". As natural as it may be, it is uncool when waved as a flag in defense of being wronged. You see - it's ironic in this case as some of the core group people are kvetching they got left out in the deal. There is, alas, always a more core core group.
- Thom Kennon
Well it goes both ways. They saw a need for such a site, they created it. We liked it as it suited our tastes. They deserve the credit because they made it, early adopters like you encouraged them keep going. Why say stuff like, "Technology without users is dead"??

I am not a spamer and never posted a malware link, but they took out our company name from the search ,,,,,simple as that ,if they are happy I am happy for them too

I do see where ev's account was hacked. perhaps he decided to keep it offline and out of search.

Yes - i blogged about it and then followed twitter folks around until they released me from twitter purgatory - someone tweeted about this earlier - I will have to dig it up. It takes time, dedication, and persistence to get back into the steam...

When I post in reply within trends, I cannot see my tweets within the stream. I contacted Twitter and they said they knew it was an ongoing issue and instead of correct it... closed my ticket.

Earlier, all results for the search "textPlus" - GOGII's iPhone app were missing, but now they're back.

Mine don't show up on the search at all. They used to, but now they don't. I haven't changed anything so I'm not sure why.

I was filtered for some time -- don't know the start because I didn't know to look.Restored for 4 hours then filtered again for about 20 hours, now back to full feed. I have no idea why I was filtered. I did use tweetlater.com to announce a friend's non-profit petiiton (about 12 tweets over 48 hours, not much variation). All my tweets from before filtering are gone from search. Not a big issue for me as I don't rely on, but could be very hard for a tweeple for business.

Mine are and I contacted Crystal. It's not personal. It's a known issue.

@salspizza This discovery by @scobleizer affects you, even though you don't sell pizza.

I usually notice the opposite, that deleting a tweet has little value because it still appears in the search DB

I hate Twitter's unpolicy on pretty much everything.
