If people aren't responding to your posts, it's probably because it's not very interesting.

gotta disagree, i think a lot of the time peoples updates just skim on bye and its the luck of the draw and whether you have enough subscribers if people notice it, comment/like and it bumps it up for other people to see

There's that too, Zee. I hate real time and have it paused though, so nothing really scoots by. I do have a lot of people subbed to me, but somehow I make it work.

Timing is an issue as well -- posts done early morning my time (EDT) are more often ignored because west coast people are still in bed. So there is a whole swath of things -- including how interesting the post potentially is to your subscribers.
- Brian Sullivan
I'm not talking about you Anne and martha!! I'm talking about people who go on and on and on about no one paying attention to them. The whole "Look at me!" syndrome.
- Derrick
Or they don't like you
- Rodfather
There's also the issue of posting during regular working hours (along with time zone). Not everyone checks in when they are working. If you post when the people subscribed to you are at work, you probably shouldn't expect a lot of responses.
- Katy S
It's true and you can learn to live with it. The articles I post are interesting to me, but as I've discovered, not to friendfeed as a whole. It hasn't stopped me from posting them, though and has not made me like friendfeed any less
- Alan Simpson
That explains alot. lol
- Christian (Simply X)
True dat, Rod...also, if you are subbed to 10 people and 3 people sub to you, it's a little hard to be visible so that people DO see your posts. I'm actually paring down my subs a bit too. 600+ people is an awful lot and I think if I had even half that, I wouldn't miss a lot.

Sometimes - not always, but sometimes - people who post things like this are just reaching out blindly for someone to connect with or talk to because they're so lonely in their own real lives. I've had more of my fair share of these kinds of posts lately, so I guess I can see where they're coming from. Sometimes all you want is for someone to say "Hi. I see you. You're not invisible."
- cecily
Derrick - I don't think real time affects this one way or the other. Paused real time (a la the old interface) just means that when you refresh stuff gets pushed to beyond the first page - which is exactly what is happening in real time from what I can tell.
- Brian Sullivan
And there's one person in particular who seems to be doing this a lot more than others. I don't know him, but I'm concerned.
- cecily
I've had my share of loneliness too, Cecily, but attacking people for not paying attention to you is off-putting. I get concerned about some of these people too, but spamming and hitting people over the head only pushes me away.

Aye, it's certainly not fully down to them being uninteresting. I've had so many things that I've posted, only for no bugger to bother even throwing a like at it. Yet, someone else will post the exact same thing and suddenly there's 20, 30, 100 or more comments on it. The wider net is like this, a lot of it is based on the person sharing rather than what is being shared. And I can take...

I post plenty of things that get ignored. It all comes down to me not really caring that much, I guess. I love FF. I love the people I'm connected to, and those I've met in real life, and those I've yet to meet, but at the end of the day, I don't look for FF to cure what ails me socially. If you think I'm a bozo here, you should see me in person!
- Derrick
Massive case in point. Some kid does something silly on the net and gets a few people see it. Chris Pirillo does it and it's all over blogs. Cult of Fame, if no-one knows who you are they may enjoy but they won't share your work with others.
- alphaxion
Not really, Derrick. I've posted items with the same exact content as others BEFORE they posted theirs, and we have about the same-sized following. Mine gets no comments or likes... the other person gets a whole stream of discussion. Oh well, I just don't have the star power :(
- Glenn Batuyong
Not always true, Derrickcito. Some people just have less exposure. That said, FriendFeed makes it easier to be discovered.
- Louis Gray
Glenn, I think FF is different things to different people. I was way intimidated to using the site after having friends tell me about it because all the stuff I saw was tech oriented. If you know anything about me, it's that I'm not techy in the slightest. So for me to post pictures of food, pop culture stuff, art, photography and GLBT stuff, I never thought anyone would care. Is there...

Steven, I think in your case it's because some people invest the time to comment knowing their words will get more exposure there compared to lower activity posts. That exposure may lead to more activity for them on their posts or at least in other discussions in FF.

With the number of comments here your theory would indicate that this post was very interesting...
- Kenton
ummm...not so much - cilantro and bacon are more likely to get responses than interesting articles or anything with depth...this post kinda proves it
- Kevin Cearns
Kenton, this is interesting because it's related to current events and also because it's something most FFers can identify with. And Chris: the posts might be equally interesting but then there's the the numbers and luck game to consider: how many followers do you have, how many are online when you post it, will the one with the most followers of their own be the one to like/comment it thereby sharing it with countless other FFers.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Don't agree with this. Lots of times it's just lost in the maelstrom.
- Karoli
I just think interesting is maybe the wrong word. This post was a really good conversation starter and the comments have made for good, and I suppose interesting, conversation. I think there are plenty of posts that are interesting, but get very few comments because there is nothing more to be said.
- Kenton
Sometimes a post I'm really satisfied with myself gets almost no response while my all time most read post isn't something I am very proud off.
- Alexander van Elsas
Yea I agree @Kenton, we must remember what is interesting to one person might not be to another.

I can't believe that this keeps needing to be said, but: if you're worried about not getting likes or comments in your posts, don't. Just participate. THAT is the whole point of FriendFeed.

This is overly simplistic. Fails to take into consideration the user's engagement with the community, their number of followers, their personal popularity, the time of day, and the fact that Friendfeed loves a good bacon donut picture, whether it's really interesting or not. And stop your sobbing, Derrick. It'll be OK. ;-)

And I'll keep on, Marco until I knock some sense into that head of yours. Freaking 'pubs. ;)
- Derrick
Engagement is the key - I used to like and comment a lot more and so my posts got more likes and comments in return, but the last 6 months have been insanely busy with work (new clients, projects, launches etc) so I don't spend as much time here as before, with inevitable consequences. It's life, I just accept it and assume things will return to normal when I have more time to devote to it. That said, if I don't tweet for 3 days I get deluged with DM's checking if I'm ok.
- Sally Church
If I were posting lots of original stuff (personal blog entries and so on), I might be let down by a lack of response... but 95% of the stuff I post is just linkage with a snarky title attached, and I can't expect anyone to get too enthused about that. If I want a response, I'll just go comment on someone else's post.
- Roger Benningfield
I think some of the frustration over no-one seeing your posts (and interacting with them) could be solved by some sort of good duplicates checking when posting material. The current one is buggy - and it is frustrating to post something interesting, have no one notice, and then see someone more "popular" post the same material days later and get a lot of responses. I'd rather comment on someone's earlier post, than repost an article on my own, but that's not easy to determine.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I'll amend your post this way Derrick. Interesting to those currently subscribed to you. My enterprise 2.0 stuff doesn't find a lot of takers, but I know why. They're all over on Twitter. It's cool. I like to see the crazy stuff posted here, along with the consumer-oriented web stuff that's so important in driving the future of the web and even the enterprise.
- Hutch Carpenter
Derrick I fear that the fact that I am still a 'pub may indicate that i am either too stubborn or stupid to have sense knocked into me - i'm still trying to figure out which one ; )
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Wow. Is it really that deep. Just post a pic of boobs, you'll get a lot of comments and likes then. LOLcats included. I used to worry about this, bc on Twitter responses to me are way different than they are here. But these are different audiences and you have to engage and become involved differently in both. I'll keep posting even when the crickets are out.
- Lynne d Johnson
I've given up on it. I used to think that with 200+ followers there might be some response, but I figure its the average mindset and what one wishes to get out of it. So for me FF is an aggregation tool that I can also contribute by commenting on others' posts. I'd love to start a conversation that gets a ton of interaction, but I'm just not interested in how you pronounce panties. :)

AGAIN, this was written in response to some rather whiny people who post *ad naseum* about why no one ever responds to their posts.

I'm learning there is simply a very different dynamic here than on Twitter. What gets pages of @replies there doesn't get a single response here. When ever I post something here as just a thought - expecting no response - I get responses. Different group of people. Personally, I really like it here =)
- Arleen Anderson
If you find yourself missing things, try to create some new lists for rooms, people u r subbed too,etc, etc and use best of the day and you can see alot of stuff. Zee- I thought we were going to work on a solution for the under the radar stuff. still interested? Also, if you use this site as an aggregator and a "social" bookmarking service, than you will be fine b/c it is your FF. Be yourself and eventually people will follow you and comment.
- Amani
Yeah, popular people get more response. But popular people generally get to be popular by being interesting. Then they can be less interesting and continue to get responses. May not be wholly fair, but the point is, if you're not already popular and also not interesting, you have much less chance of getting responses.

@rick: was thinking the exact same thing. I'd love to see an infograph of the last year of FF activity and what items (by subject matter) received the most interest. What gets the most attention/activity paints a rather sad picture of the community overall. Finding a single item of any serious intellectual heft, true social consequence, or creative brilliance in "best of day" is a rarity. But as many have said, FF is about making your own thing.
- Anthony Citrano
Funny post Derrick. An infograph would be fascinating Anthony. FriendFeed has taught me that my complete loves in life bore other FFers- my loves will not change though. There is a definate "newest" tech/media/how to get a head focus here- good to know for our economy.
- E-Advocate Network
Posting with some of the USA timezones in mind is not a guarantee for attention, but it helps. I don't know which USA timezone. Best times to post for me are between 6 - 9am and 3 - 6pm Swedish local time. Think that covers whole of USA?
- Rutger Blom

I guess I'm just going to have to face facts. I'm boring as all get-out.

Also, please compare and contrast the following programming languages: C++, Python, Java, Objective-C, and Javascript. Which would you use to build a website, embedded system, or iPhone application. Why? How would you improve these languages?

That's only for coding geeks though. There are many kinds of geeks, e.g. sci-fi geeks, comic book geeks, movie geeks, carnival geeks. (If you can't bite the head off a live chicken, you aren't a real carnival geek. :) )

This whole topic is pretty funny to me, because if it was 20 years ago, everyone would be saying they weren't a geek, even though they could write code. It's become a badge of honor since then.

If FriendFeed had improved RSS importing, would you use it instead of your reader. Do you use it as such already, how?
Ivan Zuzak, Thomas Chai, Daniel Miessler and 26 other people liked this
I'd love it if I could use FF instead of Google Reader (mainly for the duplicate detection) but it doesn't do a good enough job at the moment (though is reliant on the RSS feed from the sites). If you don't use FF as an RSS reader what improvements would sway you? As a comparison it's this: http://beta.friendfeed.com/kol-fav... versus this: http://www.google.com/reader... or this: http://beta.friendfeed.com/kol-fav... versus this: http://www.google.com/reader...
- Kol Tregaskes
I think Google Reader is better at managing a large number of Feeds, especially from businesses and news websites. Friendfeed seems more capable (and better for) tracking peoples various personal feeds like Twitter, etc... (hence the name).
- Greg Fowler
Feedly is a great Firefox extension for Google Reader - worth a look.
- Pinksy
Feedly is OK but I wish when I clicked on my separate folders that they were like the digest page and not list the whole feed. I had a spell with feedly recently and the digest is great but it shows articles I've read, even after a refresh and even after forcing it via the set-up. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
I only like Feedly's digest view if I don't have many items. Otherwise, I find it really hard to scan and prefer the individual folder/feed view.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I would think about it yes. I like the idea of using it to channel "micro" discussions about a very finely tuned topic. Or as Leo Laporte uses it as "Mini Chat Rooms" for his shows.
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
I'd certainly consider it, assuming it had OPML in/out, mark as read, and once the beta is final. Would be great with easy reshares to other feeds. I'd also want an updated bookmarklet.
- LogEx
The chat-room function is ideal now in real-time FF, for sure: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...
- Kol Tregaskes
I doubt that I'd replace Google Reader with FriendFeed. They have different purposes and I use them for different reasons.
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
The more features, the better "instruction". There's a lot here that people don't really know how to use.
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
I don't use it now as a feed reader but would it it included some easy UI to get the full RSS content (I like the iGoogle bubble popup) and some feed subscription (and management) process. If they improved the posting function to allow paragraphs and minimal text formatting it would also be a substitute blogging platform.
- Brian Sullivan
Brian, some text formatting would be cool but how far should it go?
- Kol Tregaskes
I would be happy with multiple paragraphs and numbering/bulleting. Bold/italic and inline graphics might work as well.
- Brian Sullivan
@Kol Tregaskes - Yes. We are rolling out a new version of the digest and there was a refresh bug. It was fixed yesterday. Next time you restart firefox things should be back to normal.
- Edwin Khodabakchian
(I also like your idea of making the category pages more like the digest. I will talk to the team about that on friday. We should be able to easily do that with the new recommendation engine I think)
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Edwin, excellent news, thank you. :-) Like I say about if I could click on my other folders and have the same format as I do with the digests then it would be feedly a whole lot more useful to me.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yeah! I just created feed for Artemy Lebedev (one of russian designers) — http://beta.friendfeed.com/tema. But if Artemy sign up to friendfeed, what about username «tema» and subscribers of this feed?
- Сашенька
Scott, need the search URL not the filter URL.
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol: To make sure that I explain your idea correctly: you want to click on a category and have at the top the best articles in that category and then a list of sources and for each sources the best 7 articles. Yes?
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Yeah it would be awesome to have an OPML import that creates imaginary friends from each RSS source, which could all then automatically be added to a Feed - Would definitely need to import main photos for each post, videos when possible, and perhaps the first paragraph as the first comment...
- Nathan Chase
RSS reader? I don't use that since I fell in love with Friendfeed, an year ago or so :-P
- Marcos Marado
I created a yahoo pipe of various tech news and then created a rss feed which I added to Friendfeed, it works really well.
- Kim Landwehr
Kim, what did you do with the feed in Yahoo Pipes?
- Kol Tregaskes
Edwin, yeah. I use feedly when I want a catch up on the best posts from my GReader feeds. Basically I like to start with feedly to see the best stuff then if I get time go into GReader to have a quick look at the rest. I've painstakingly put my feeds into folders and those folders into an order...
- Kol Tregaskes
...So ideally I'd like to have a digest of all my folders/feeds combined showing me the best posts from the lot and the ability to select from the top menu each of my folders and have the best posts from each of those. If I could select the number of posts to see on the digest and the separate pages that would be great too...
- Kol Tregaskes
(ok I think that I understand enough for us to create a prototype and we will take it from there. sorry for hijacking your thread)
- Edwin Khodabakchian
...Also, I've tagged some of these folders as a-list (the main folders I want to check each day) and the rest as b-list (folders I could live without checking if I don't have time). I've put the a-list as my favourites but I don't see a way to have these favourites on a digest type page or for them to be prioritised or highlighted over the rest? Am I confusing you now? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
That's not a problem, Edwin. Thank you very much for responding and reading the thread. :-D
- Kol Tregaskes
I guess it would depend on how it was implemented. I like my reader being separate from FF. I find the value of FF is in the conversations about the material more than the material itself. I really just peruse my feeds (in my reader), read a small percentage of them and share an even smaller percentage of that--but I get a large amount of them--so to have them run smack into my friendfeed stream (without being able to separate them) would only muddle my FF experience.
- Kelly W.
Would you use a screw driver on nails if it had improved hammering capabilities?
- Peter
Kelly, good points.
- Kol Tregaskes
I definitely would use it for my favorite feeds that I read every day, but probably would continue to use Google Reader for the hundreds of other things I just have a glance at.
- Eph Zero
Using a dedicated app is a much better choice for anything. Let FF do what it does best.
- Roberto Bonini
No. Never.
- Soup
I had just been thinking about starting to use a reader when I discovered FF. Now I can't imagine why I'd use a reader when I could just aggregate things in a private feed. Of course, I'm 110% in favour of improvements to the importing. I've made some suggestions here and there, too. :)
- Karl Knechtel
I just set this up the other day in the room Collected Feeds. But I've found that my RSS reading has fallen off, so I'm still experimenting with it. What I'd like to see is the favicon or something for the source icon, so it's easier to run down things. Also, only displaying the 2 or 3 of a group makes it easy to miss things (you have to click see the rest).
- Andy Bakun
@Peter: I'd certainly rather buy a good swiss army knife than a whole toolbox if I knew I wasn't going to be working on especially large nails, screws, etc.
- Karl Knechtel
Did you know that FF can only process an RSS feed if it has items "in hundreds" (quote from an FFer) or less ? Anything like your twitter friends' timeline with a 1000 items will fail.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
i totally agree with you on the point that importing feeds should be improved. this would definitely help in starting better FF conversations. as a firehose solution, i made a (free) web service that improves the experience of starting conversations around imported/shared RSS/ATOM feed posts. the service sacns the feed for media (images only for now) and inserts special XML tags that FF...

(Kol: we implemented your suggestion as part of 1.2.246, see http://blog.feedly.com/2009... for more information)
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Gosh, thanks Edwin and thanks for the mention on the blog. Now if I could select the folders that appear on the top bar (I have my favourites) and the order of the folders on each magazine/digest page (I've set them in a priority order in GReader) I'd be a very happy man, hehe. ;-) Thank you again!
- Kol Tregaskes
You should be able to order the categories/folders on the bar by drag and dropping them around. Within each folder, you can not control the order beyond marking some as favorite and some not. The order of the sources is currently dynamic based on reading and sharing pattern. Not ideal. We might expand from 2 buckets (favorite and others) into 3 buckets (must read, favorite and others). but right now we are expending on our time on feedly mobile so not sure when that would happen. Thanks for all the feedback
- Edwin Khodabakchian
No worries, Edwin. I'm just after extensive control of things like that, I'm probably on my own. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Edwin, I cannot DM you so hope you get this: I've re-created all-new folders/tags in Google Reader. I've refreshes feedly but it's still showing the old folders/tags. Are you still having the refresh problem you mentioned?
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol. For feedly to sync back to the changes mades in GReader, please restart firefox or logout/login to feedly. I am now following you so do not hesitate to DM me if you have any questions.
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Ah, OK Edwin. I'll try again tomorrow. I've reorganised lots of things, including GReader and the GReader changes might make using feedly a little easier. Still would love a Chrome version in the future, though. ;-) Thanks for adding me BTW. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Yes (would use as RSS-reader); No (haven't yet quite figured out how - obviously the subscription process and account maintenance would have to be vastly improved).

I've got one large Imaginary Friend feed that I've imported several of the feeds I read so that I can keep track of them. I've not imported them all because 1) that's a pain and 2) I really am using it on FF so that I know if blogs that don't update every day have updated without visiting them constantly.
- Elizabeth Parmeter
I'm a big fan of Friendfeed, and still tuning my using. I balancing being distracted from being current. (I'm trying to get off Facebook, which is too much noise). So, I'm currently using Friendfeed in two ways. (1) I've created lists (e.g. family, colleagues, digerati), and take feeds of those into FeedDemon. (2) I'm using the Friendfeed over IM feature to send to Google Talk, which...

Yeah the cache trick is nice but isn't that a violation of Google's TOS? providing different results to the crawler?

No need for the cache...if you scroll all the way to the bottom the answers are there.

Interesting... if you open the link (non-cached) in a new tab, the answers don't show, but if you follow the link through google in the same tab, the answers do show at the bottom. Weird.

The answers are generally way, way on the bottom and only visible if you visit the thread from Google's search results. Frustrating: yes, but there is also a lot of good information in there...

«Interesting... if you open the link (non-cached) in a new tab, the answers don't show, but if you follow the link through google in the same tab, the answers do show at the bottom.» This is even officially allowed by Google these days, it's called "first click free" (others might call it "sort of cloaking").

@Jeremy, just as a hack I made you a Custom Search Engine called 'All But Experts-Exchange'. Compare the results of [http://www.google.com/cse...] with [http://www.google.com/search...]. You can access the CSE here: http://www.google.com/coop....
- DeWitt Clinton
A better solution would be for us to enable something per-site with SearchWiki [http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008...]. I actually thought we could already, let me look again.
- DeWitt Clinton
I would like to do this as well, Experts Exchange is the biggest joke. Stack Overflow has everything any more... w/o hiding their answers.
- Nicholas Kreidberg
How do you configure a Custom Search Engine to exclude specific sites?
- Paul Grav
@Paul - once you've set up a CSE, follow the link that says "[Edit this search engine]" and look at the left-hand column under Control Panel for a link that says "Sites". Find the section called "Excluded sites" and then "Add Site". I think our user experience here could be better. The Custom Search Engines are incredibly powerful, but not nearly as discoverable as they could be.
- DeWitt Clinton
DeWitt, thanks for the reminder about CSE. It's an incredibly cool feature.
- Jason Wehmhoener
Include this in your query site:-expertsexchange.com
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
totally agree, I hate those wankers
- Toby Graham
@Jason - thanks! Custom Search Engines are perhaps my favorite power feature that Google offers. Come to Google I/O and I'll show off something neat with them.
- DeWitt Clinton
There should really be a search experiment to do this. Exclude the follow sites from your results. SearchWiki doesn't do it AFAIK. I've thought about suggesting the search experiment at work but never got around to it. I think I shall today.
- EricaJoy
me too... hate experts exchange
- mikepk
Erica: Google *does* offer a way to do this in your query. Try searching for YourKeyWord site:-siteIhate.com site:-OtherSiteIHate.com The "-" verbiage is how you tell the engine to *not* return results from those sites. Conversely, you could search "keyword site:MyFavoriteResource.com" to only return results from your intended target.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Scroll to the bottom works for me. And sometimes there's good answers. I think it's ridiculous that I have to scroll to the bottom but... for me it's not worth adding yet another extension or greasemonkey script.
- Robert DeBord
Haven't seen it in the comments, but you can always use the SaerchWiki Labs feature to remove any unnecessary results from view. I think you can go as far as 'ban' a domain.

- Robert Scoble
It's unusable for me, and I shouldn't have to use lists to make the service usable. There should be an option to determine how quickly your feed refreshes.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
That's not too big an ask really. Also, lists are going to be pivotal, so I think the easier it is to make them, the more successful this will be.
- Will Higgins™
there needs to be smarter filtering to help the flow...it should setup some lists for me automatically
- Jason Stephens
If you follow thousands of people, you most certainly should be using lists to make the service usable.
- Bwana ☠
the biggest problem I have is it takes away from conversations. I LOVED the old interface so much better. It allowed me to control my pace of conversations without feeling like I've missed something.

Too fast without pause. Adds a step that I didn't have to add before. Jury remains out.
- Martha
am i missing something? doesn't seem that different to me. then again, i don't use it much, and i don't subscribe to that many people's feeds. so maybe if you're a friendfeed 'power user', it's too much, but for 'lite' usage, it may not be that much different. UPDATE: Ok, now I am on the right URL. I like the look, and it's not flowing too fast for me. Again, I think the subscribe-to-everyone types are going to have a different experience than us 'lite' friendfeed users.
- Dwight Silverman
One thing to keep in mind is the burst of activity caused by the release. A zillion snap judgments pouring in at once will probably not be the daily norm.
- Mark Czerniec
pause is your friend you know although I'm starting to enjoy the run with the realtime feed
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Robert: Then you're GOOD! :) Ha.
- Dawn
Also, I'm going to have to start unfollowing more people. This style of realtime really makes the boors stand out.
- Will Higgins™
way too fast is my early verdict. I cannot even appreciate someone's comment and perhaps subscribe to them. I think this is going to negatively affect the number of subscriptions to other commenter
- Lou Paglia
Thankfully I've obsessively organized my FF subscriptions already by lists and weeded out the noise makers, otherwise I'd been overwhelmed. So far I kind of like the new FF UI. Remember if the speed is too much there is always a pause button.
- Keith - @tsudo
This is a breaking point for the real-time web. I bet Friendfeed will have to go back to the old system (but keep the design).
- Steve Rubel
Bwana, that is the way you choose to use FF. Others choose to not use lists and this method was perfectly usable in the standard interface. I thought the whole selling point of FF was that its UI was flexible enough to accommodate the different ways people choose to use the service. An aggregator, content creator, community hub...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
@Steve - very interesting thought. We all want real-time to a point.
- Dave Hodson
This is WAAAYYY to fast
- Anthony K. Valley ©
Steve: Pause does exactly that.
- Robert Scoble
I tend to agree with you (perhaps two interfaces running in parallel, one for normal users and one for power users)
- Lou Paglia
Steve, have you worked out where you specify the syncing between Twitter publishing on the new interface yet? Don't want to overload my Twitter stream . . . :-)
- Ed Richardson
Yeah, I can't keep up. But might just take some getting used to.
- Mike Janicke
You just have to click "Pause" as soon as you want to start reading stuff. I wonder if that shows that real-time as default is not a good idea.
- Alejandro
Too fast to furious!
- Ninh Nguyen
I just let it wash over me, like twitter. These real-time updates aren't meant to be read, but dipped into and experienced.
- Dave Sanders
I agree. Look, humans are not machines. The ability of my eyes to track all this moving text (both reading and writing) has limitations. It will inevitably induce eye strain. And telling people to pause and unpause in order to manage this make life harder, not easier.
- Carter Rabasa
i kinda like the speed...
- FRANK CHEUNG
I just landed on this post, and I see what you are talking about. I actually like the speed. It doesn't seem like most topics will be as hot as this one (so the average case will be slower).
- Adam Loving
I also only follow 77 people - I'm not sure I'm following the people who talk a lot. Need to play with it some more. Looking for recommendations of who to subscribe to.
- Dave Sanders
Carter: most humans don't have more than 20 friends. In which case this will move just fine.
- Robert Scoble
I agree with Robert... when you have a reasonable amount of friends, the speed is fine...when you have thousands, I don't think you have a choice: You must organize your friends.
- Bwana ☠
There's always conversations here regarding what it would take to get more "average" or typical web users on to FriendFeed and I think this is the exact type of thing that will keep those people away. Most people I know wouldn't want to have to bother setting up filters or lists just to keep from feeling like they're having a nervous breakdown looking at their feed. And if they don't set up lists/filters, they'll end up only seeing the same super active users all day.
- Kate
I love it! it is exactly what I wish Twitter was, a constant stream
- Rodzilla
Agreed. I really hope I don't get used to it, could be scary!
- Trevor Childs
I don't think I follow enough people to have a real speed issue on the new FF. I do like live streams though so I think the speed is ok. I really have neglected my filters though and need to spend some time getting things organized.
- Sean Brady
I've seen stats that show Facebook is around 120 friends Scoble, Dunbar number is around 150. Also in FF people follow those that are not their true friends
- Jeremiah Owyang
The old design gave me a headache. This new one makes me nauseous. I thought FriendFeed had so much potential when they launched, but their design aesthetic and product preferences just don't work for me. Unfortunately, I don't see that changing. That said, I'm sure other people like Scoble will like it.
- Joe Lazarus
Exactly Jeremiah. I subscribe to plenty of people who are not friends in the traditional sense of the word, but because they post things I'm interested in. Everyone I've introduced to (ie: forced to sign up for) FriendFeed immediately asked me where to go to find more people to subscribe to.
- Kate
There is quite a lot of data coming into FriendFeed assuming multiple streams per person followed.
- Khürt Williams

Shaine: do NOT just unfollow people like this. You MUST block them. That removes them from the system.
- Robert Scoble
I personally use lists, so I guess it could be OK (except that it makes my "home" feed useless - way too fast.) But interesting that you sort of *have* to use lists w/the new version...way to dictate how to use the product, FF.
- Sarah Perez
I feel the same way.
- tony
If people only use FriendFeed to keep up with their friends, then Facebook wins. They own that realm.

Ditches features we were used to, add some nobody asked for, uses space in the stupidest way, it's all-round ugly. try again.

I think that Friendfeed should only update real time when I am at the top of the page. If I am scrolled down, don't updated it. Comments Real-Time though is a very nice feature.
- Tyler (Chacha)
In the time it took to write this comment, 28 things were lined up. So, I got bombarded.

- Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty
Gonna be a learning curve. Not as bad when I tried out Twitterfall.
- Matt Martin
Not quite sure yet, but I like that there is a "pause" button in the upper right corner of the feed.
- Craig Villamor
I needed maybe 5 minutes to get used to it (and the @ajbatac userscript to fix the look). still adjusting, but I think it's making me more efficient. I love the new filters - better than just lists
- Gaby K. Slezák
Robert: I know you disagree. But you know, I'm very open to change, I *love* change. But this is a step backwards, I'm kinda sure.
- Zio Bonino
I think it's funny. I've been saying since the beginning to be careful who you follow here. Now everyone is learning why. Zio, it's a HUGE step forward. But I can see how you think it's a step back. Hit "pause" and relax.
- Robert Scoble
I'm not talking about the refresh rate, Robert, it's all the rest. (I'm way faster than that) :)
- Zio Bonino
we will learn and get faster and smarter with it. there´s no other chance in the web anyways. and if the brain aches, it´s only growing ;)
- esther ♥ ♫
So many thoughts...but in answer to your question, the stream moves quite quickly. This is fairly familiar since I use Twitterfall to follow events or themes. But I have always used Friendfeed as the place for a deeper and richer discussion forum. The spin rate certainly makes that less palatable.
- Lorin Olsen
I agree with Zio Bonino.
- Niki Costantini
It's a conversation killer, and what I love more in FF is the chance to have real conversations... One year ago before the comments thing was introduced, FF was totally a dead place. What brought it to life was all the talk around the different entries.
- Niki Costantini
I'm beginning to understand the new UI. It's not about the speed at all it's about refining your interests and generating lists of topics from the people you subscribe to.
- Russ Jackson
I still think it it needs better organizational navigation.
- Russ Jackson
Russ, they should be able to make suggestions and compile lists on the fly.
- Steve Rubel
mine is slow
- Dave "Freedom 35"
Great point Steve. They should be able to do that and that would make for easier navigation
- Russ Jackson
It was in the beginning, but now that things have calmed down its good with me.

Use the filters (they now get saved to a list on the left hand side), Track what you want from the Firehose. New design is there to help customize the experience for everyone.
- zeroinfluencer
Thanks for the feedback, Steve. I think one of the main things I want to accomplish during this beta testing period is making the defaults right and making some things stream in by default, but scaling that back if your are subscribed to a lot of stuff. All this discussion is extremely useful to help us figure that out, and I am confident we can eventually make it work well for you...
- Bret Taylor
@Brett and so am I!
- Steve Rubel
spoke to soon - it's zipping by - head hurts
- Dave "Freedom 35"
going from FriendFeed to anywhere else feels like jumping off a trampoline
- Brian Frank
If it's to fast why not just pause the updates.
- Benjamin
I would pause the updates but then I feel like I'm not keeping up with the Joneses
- Russ Jackson
If you pause the updates, it permanently turns off the updating—even if you log out and log back in—until you press the play icon. In the meantime, you can still see updates by refreshing the page. There is a separate pause option for your home feed and any of your filters.
- Ana
@Brett, me too. This is what a beta launch is all about after all. Some really good stuff in here too.
- Kate
stuff I like best: filters. I used to use bookmarks for my favorite searches. stuff I like less: the UI. I hate that grey, but I thought the vertical bar was useless and a waste of space even in the previous version. those rounded corners are so two years ago. those pictures before every post look so fuckin' facebook, they really really suck. When you post a link it's separated from the linked text, this feels like twitter, and if you feel it's a step forward, please see a doctor asap. :)
- Zio Bonino
The problem is not just that real-time is a step in the wrong direction; it is drawing energy away from those problems with the Friendfeed UI which require the most urgent attention.
- Sean McBride
Hey, don't get me wrong, I love friendfeed. But I didn't expect it to become a sort of facebook for people who can actually read.

I just joined Friendfeed, so I'm still unsure if it adds value to my Social Networking experience. My initial reaction is that it's interface is a marriage of the the features I dislike most about all the services I registered!
- Stacy LaRoche
Nice to have you join, Stacy. Are you using the standard friendfeed.com interface, or the new beta.friendfeed.com interface? I'm intrigued to hear the perspective of someone who is new to the service...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Does the new interface have a Mini-window option?
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
It's way too fast for me. I know some people suggest using lists, but having a bunch of lists, each in its own Firefox window, chews up system resources faster than a puppy with a slipper. It'd be really nice to have FriendFeed 1.0's slow but steady updating as an option, rather than just Fast Forward and Pause.
