Creating my own disqus hack...paste a couple comments from the blog here. - Hutch Carpenter
communicatrix: Hmm. Hmm.
I test on the “I” end of the intro-extro spectrum (INFJ, every danged time), I also have that extra “x” chromosome that Corvida has and I like Twitter way more. It’s a difficult preference to unpack–I’ve been thinking on it for a full five minutes now, which is, like, an ETERNITY in internet time.
This may sound nuts, but I think a major factor in my preference might be UI. FriendFeed is just so damned ugly and cluttered. I felt the same way about Google Reader (vs Bloglines) until I got Jon Hicks’ skin for it; now I’m happy with the superior features of GR and I can stand to look at it.
Maybe we can get Hicks to skin FriendFeed; maybe that would tip it for some of the ladies.
Again, hmmm… - Hutch Carpenter
elliott ng: "I’m an INTJ on Myers Briggs and a male. But more hooked on Twitter than FriendFeed. I feel like FriendFeed is more like a social Google Reader–focused on information discovery. Twitter is more like a cocktail party, except I can lurk in the background without feeling like a wallflower.
Interesting thought provoking post but not sure I agree yet. BTW nice meeting you in front of LouisGray’s booth at Web2Expo!" - Hutch Carpenter
imo, twitter is imperitive, friendsfeed is declarative- with twitter, you have to explicitly state describe your status, and by extension, your personality. friendfeed lets you declaratively, implicitly state these things through gestures. (btw, ff sure is a great tool for post necromancy. :] ) - Chris Hollander
