I'm shrieking and throwing good china at twitter right now. the bastard.

The mobile component of Twitter is still the winner for me. This is better for conversation, but still not really intended for true status.
- Jared Smith
@technosailor - Now that I've started work on Blackbird, I could clone it for FriendFeed's API - got a suggestion for a good name? :-)
- Dossy Shiobara
@queenofspain - yeah, "BlackFriend" isn't the first name I'd use, LOL. FriendBerry isn't exactly great, either. BlackFeed? Uhh...
- Dossy Shiobara
I'm trying, but I need a Twhirl type program that works for FF.
- Summer
FFtoGo works well, better than FF on the iPhone. Still needs "hide" though.
- Thomas Hawk
You can change the colors pretty easily with the Stylish Firefox extension. The appropriate style is at http://ungroundedoutlet.com/misc... (I can't add it to userstyles.org right now as that site is not working)

"BerryBuddy" ...but it sounds like one of my daughter's Strawberry Shortcake dolls
- Erin @queenofspain
Now that I have SMS gateway via Post2FF, the only thing I'm missing is WAP browser support (aka mobile) and the rest of my friends from Twitter.

@itsinsider - Cool names, but FriendFeed's "mascot" isn't a bird (like Twitter's), is it?
- Dossy Shiobara
Agreed. Also, if you don't like the Friend Feed web interface, try Twhirl

Hey James, thanks. I knew about Stylish but the code for friendfeed works well.
- Michael Tefft
@Dossy his other app is Blackbird, hense the bird thing.

I do use Twitter via the SMS interface and would want to have that functionality still.
- Joe Magennis
@Aaron - also works fine on S60 mobile with standard web client. Just checked with Nokia N95. Quite a few people have those along with 10+ million iPhone peeps + however many iTouch peeps.

I am all for it if I can get people to move over - twitter is driving me absolutely nuts - at the same time it helped me make some awesome new connections just this week. Love/Hate defined.

I'm one of Twitter's biggest fans, and it's driving me up the wall today. I need to make sure FF could replace the "feed hub" functions and more importantly the mobile access I have to Twitter tho

from twhirl
I've added a link to FF on my blog bio
- Andy Roberts
Until FF or Pownce, Jaiku, and Plurk have SMS capability, Twitter is the way to go

How about naming it "Grackle"? A fine shiny resourceful bird found in the south that apparently have no fear of lawnmowers as they used the agitated state of the lawn to find things to eat...

I find it very interesting that this article appears in the Financial Times. Definitely more interest in this new platform is coming from the Business community; until recently FriendFeed was only visible for the more IT oriented people IMO.

Just installed Stylish and suddenly Friendfeed is a much nicer place to be.
