“Can we all just move to FriendFeed and put an end to this Twitter BS? Thank you”
June 27 at 9:02 am - via twhirl - Link
I won't move to FF alone unless they get rid of the unreadable grey text on white... hard on my eyes! :( - Lucretia Pruitt
Im in - loren feldman
Given that Twitter is down more than it's up, I think we're already moving to FF. - Dossy Shiobara
I agree. Twitter has been a mess for over amonth. - Judy Jones
Amen to that! - Karen Swim via Alert Thingy
I'm shrieking and throwing good china at twitter right now. the bastard. - Erin Kotecki Vest
Can't until their mobile client works better on Blackberry. Currently, I'm disconnected from FF when I'm mobile - which is a lot. Twitter has Twitterberry so when Twitter is semi-working, I'm still connected. That's a missing piece for Friendfeed. - Aaron Brazell
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
@Aaron - check out FFto - Dennis Howlett via twhirl
@Aaron - check out FFtgo - Dennis Howlett via twhirl
@dossy I would advise against 'blackfriend' but I'm overemotional about those things ;P - Erin Kotecki Vest
I've already moved over - Stefan Hayden
@Dennis... I have. Gotta remember a remote key? I don't think so... the font-size also looks ridiculous on the blackberry and makes it hard to read, much less follow conversations. - Aaron Brazell
@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/mi... (I can't add it to userstyles.org right now as that site is not working) - James Williams (willia4)
"BerryBuddy" ...but it sounds like one of my daughter's Strawberry Shortcake dolls - Erin Kotecki Vest
@Aaron: works a treat on iTouch (shrug) - Dennis Howlett via fftogo
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. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Hey, QofS is commenting here! Maybe I DON'T need Twitter! - Lee Stranahan via Alert Thingy
@Summer: Uhm, Twhirl works with FF. :) - Donato (ricin) via twhirl
@technosailor how about freebird or feedbird? - Susan Scrupski via twhirl
Dennis, I don't have an iPhone/iTouch. Neither do most people. Welcome to real life. - Aaron Brazell
@itsinsider - Cool names, but FriendFeed's "mascot" isn't a bird (like Twitter's), is it? - Dossy Shiobara
Only thing I dislike is the remote key when signing in. That and having to scroll to find new tweets. I think there should be an SMS option. - Les via fftogo
Agreed. Also, if you don't like the Friend Feed web interface, try Twhirl - Matthew Davidson via 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. - Susan Scrupski via twhirl
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. - Dennis Howlett via fftogo
I've done my part, haven't logged into twitter in a month. - Jason Kaneshiro
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. - Tony via Alert Thingy
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 - Doug Haslam via twhirl
I've added a link to FF on my blog bio - Andy Roberts
What about SMS and DMs? - Rubin Sfadj
Until FF or Pownce, Jaiku, and Plurk have SMS capability, Twitter is the way to go - Glenn Batuyong via twhirl
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... - Aron Michalski via fftogo
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. - Jeroen De Miranda
Just installed Stylish and suddenly Friendfeed is a much nicer place to be. - Roger Benningfield
