Yeah, I could see myself getting in trouble if I used FriendFeed at work. In fact, I know I would get in trouble. I can only multi-task so much before the effort of participating demands too much of my attention. :)

That's interesting - it's just the opposite for me. Using FF in Gmail Chat or just having the Real-Time view over to the side feels like an easy natural way for me to work and keep an eye on conversations. Maybe I'm not using the right 3rd party tools, but I haven't found any happy work flow with Twitter.

@Sara have you tried Twhirl? It can pop up notifications for either platform (and others)

I have Friendfeed and Twitter on a secondary machine here at my desk. That way they don't disturb the focus of my attention. I have to make a conscious decision to turn my head to look at the third monitor to my right, as I have now!

The live FF feed embeds nicely as Firefox sidebar

That's so true, in terms of time spent on each service. ff real-time is just so demanding

I agree, FriendFeed does require more attention. I only started using it more when I got laid off and had more time. But I try to use Best of Day to optimize my time spent here.

@Rajiv Best of Day is a great feature.

Twitter is the ultimate browsable medium, but I still get more value out of FriendFeed.

Interestingly only FF, and not Twitter, is blocked in my corporation.

I use FriendFeed realtime feed at work, doesn't really bother me that much. You just have to think of it like Scoble called it before, 'media snacking' rather than being obsessive about keeping on top of it. The good thing is, the interesting stuff usually keeps floating to the top as people 'Like' it and comment on it.

I like FF on my iPhone when supervising, it's handy when things are running smoothly, and easy to put awa when things go to hell.

twitter is where @s and DMs come from. My FF live feed sits in the corner of my screen all day as a fluid.app, and I watch that flow by.
