@scobleizer, and what about all the people that don't subscribe to you and yet a friend "likes" or comments? Add another 10k sheep-readers to your ff tally... - "Czar" DJ Peterman
Jes: funny you should say that when you have a private feed - klecu
FriendFeed, IMO, is much more viral than Twitter - the way posts go back to the top of your friend feed every time there is activity is powerful. - Jesse Stay
My FriendFeed audience is 2x my Twitter audience. That's due to being early on FF and late on Twitter, and being more engaged here. But it took Robert, Rubel, etc. just about no time to pass me up. - Louis Gray
More viral but can be distracting. Any way to stop that for a post that I don't want to follow any more? - Dennis E. Hamilton

It's nice to see good architecture at work, FF loads so much more information of different types with more complex relationships and yet do it so much faster than Twitter. - Amit Morson
Because people listen to you and follow your lead. I definitely have. I'm a PR academic. But will FF last before the next big thing comes around? My thesis depends on sustainability of both Twitter and FF...or the next lifestreaming aggregator that does it RIGHT. So far, FF has the lead. But do my friends, colleagues, or fellow students know or understand it? No. They get AllTop (or similar, whatever can can appeal to the masses) because it's easy... - Philip Ryan Johnson
Philip: I think FF will survive because of the search engine here. That's the magic, but it's hard to access the magic so far. - Robert Scoble
I have just 34 people are subscribed to myself but more than several people add me to their follow list during every week. - Daniel Schildt
Robert- tis true, tis true. But I walk around the hallways at Newhouse (Syr U) and nobody has even caught onto Twitter yet. It's frightening. Mass comm schools are graduating students who haven't a clue. So how do we get students to pay attention so they'll be better job candidates? It's scary, but even blogging is foreign to students. Huge disconnect. Anyway, prob a discussion for elsewhere. See Edelman's recent summit for proof of concept that the kids are more clueless than we think. Much more... - Philip Ryan Johnson
I've just started using FriendFeed and integrating it with my blog. Very nice way to pull several things together into one... - Richard Miles
Funny people still seem to be posting primarily through Twitter instead of the Share Something in FF... - simonpure
@simonpure the reason why FF users even uber-geek Scoble - still post to Twitter could be that they dont want to lose or affront their early followers. here's one way how to omit the problem: http://consiliera.tumblr.com/p... - Gaby Benkwitz ☼
@Robert: As you know, survival is not only about user adaption or appealing to the masses, it's about monetizing that crowd, and I don't see FF don't any better job at it than Twitter. - Amit Morson
@Robert, but are they the same people as on Twitter? - aggregators have a 2nd or 3rd mover advantage. They can follow in the slipstream rather than have to create the bow wave. - Craig Thomler
Can you imaging 15K followers commenting on each of your posts? - Alex Sauceda

Thats partly because, friendfeed is more reliable then twitter - and because, twitter created the market people are becoming aware of it and joining other alternatives too =] - Nicholas James
