I'm reduced to playing with Brightkite. The humanity... - David Bisset via twhirl

FriendFeed has never gone down. Or even gotten slow. It's like the guys who started it worked at Google or something. Oh, wait, that's right, they did. - Robert Scoble

@Scoble: True enough. I wonder if they smuggled a HP Superdome out when they left the building. Or maybe 87 Linux boxes was their leaving present :-) - Andy C

@Scolbe: Watch it Robert, or you're going to jinx it. - David Bisset

Did they just yank out Rails? - Puneet Thapliyal

Twitter out here, also. Good thing, because I have to get some work done. Hoohoo. - Cesar Cardoso

I didn't know about this until I saw this message. I tried going to m.twitter.com on my phone and got a 500 Internal Server Error. Didn't even get a birdie. - Ontario Emperor

You CAN turn Twitter off you know. - Chris Wallace via Alert Thingy

Had to LOL about that. I mean, we just switched service, the noise's still here with Twhirl! - Rodrigo Jaroszewski via twhirl

@chris it's unpossible to turn off twitter - acedanger via twhirl

Michael Arrington killed Twitter... yeah, that's it. - Rudy Amid

You've been coming up with some pretty good quotables lately - Charlie Anzman

@Scoble do you want Jaiku invitation? it is more reliable than twitter and some time ago moved to Google's infra... - silpol

silpol I've been on Jaiku since the first days. I like FriendFeed a lot better. - Robert Scoble

Robert, I'd love to see a demo of how you use FriendFeed - I keep trying to move over but just can't figure out a productive way to use it. - Jesse Stay

@Scoble i wish FF gets sms mechanism for push one day, as twitter or jaiku - silpol

Jesse, I'm writing a blog post right now about one aspect: liking and commenting. - Robert Scoble

I'm excited to see it - I'd also love to see how you browse your feeds. When do you use Twitter vs. Friendfeed, Reader, etc.? - Jesse Stay

Jesse: I don't have a set routine. I watch FriendFeed the most, though. I also use Google Reader quite often, watch Twitter on either Twhirl or Google Talk or Tweetscan (not to mention FriendFeed), and still look at TechMeme too. I just posted the thing about listening on FriendFeed on my blog at http://scobleizer.com - Robert Scoble

I've started watching both friendfeed and socialthing - playing with both trying to work out which best suits my needs. It is quite possible that both will, but it also means seeing duplication. - Mick Adams

i watched frienfeed, socialthing, and twhirl and kept refreshing twitter. all this after working 12 hours. maybe i have a problem. - lisa church
