Dave misses that FriendFeed search can be constrained by groups of people YOU pick. This is the real "track" that Steve Gillmor keeps talking about. Oh, and by the way, my blog items (via RSS) get into FriendFeed within 60 seconds. Anyone figure out how I do that? - Robert Scoble

I agree with Dave, though. Real Time search raises more questions than it answers and FriendFeed's UI has too much duplication and not enough tools to help you manage it. Until that happens it's going to be as geeky as a command line interface. Lots of people will use it, yes, but there's something better out there and the minute a company figures it out we'll go "of course" just like we did when we saw the Mac UI. - Robert Scoble

Scoble, when is your flight? - Dave Winer

Robert, using the WP-SUP plugin that implements the SUP protocol developed by the FriendFeed team; I use this also, nice feature! See http://www.jeroendemiranda.com/about... for details ('WP SUP is a plugin for WordPress that implements FriendFeed’s Simple Update Protocol.') - Jeroen De Miranda

Jeronen - you're awesome - thanks for the tip on the plugin. - Robert Freeze

It definitely is a great idea with the real time track but in real-life in practical usage it is not very useful yet. You do not get much information other than a bunch of mentions of couple of the most prominent links on the topic. - Marko Saric
