nice to have - Jorge

nice thanks - efader

Cool, thanks! - Jan Paricka

Orkin. April called to cancel and they guy says, "I'm sorry, I don't have the authority to cancel your account. You'll have to speaks with my manager". And of course the manager gives her the hard sell trying to make her justify her decision. I decided that this was the perfect response to that hard sell because the more they argue with it the more it's true. - Paul Buchheit

I once canceled a credit card because I didn't like the new design they put on it. - Louis Gray

I used this argument while canceling my Discover Card. I also canceled American Express at the same time. Discover did the hard sell, and made me want to never get another one in the future. American Express was polite and helpful even though I was canceling my account. Many years later I got another American Express card. - Amit Patel

It's sometimes too difficult to cancel anything... First thing to come to my mind is some email notifications of blog comments if you have opted in to get notifications about new comments to some blog post. Or what about some odd things like newsletters without opt-out information? ;) - Daniel Schildt

They are just jealous of our dominating traffic. ;) - Bret Taylor

Wow. This is a good move, but my facebook feed has become less and less useful because of ad spam (for apps). I don't really pay attention to it anymore. What I really want is more friend/trusted person news, and I'm getting a lot more of that at friendfeed right now, so that's what I open first in the morning. facebook is a second site, if even, nowadays. - Ginger Makela Riker

so activity streams are a commodity now... next frontier is super-aggregator of all activity stream aggregators? - Aviv

You heard it here first - activity stream fatigue! :) - Aviv

well activity is fatiguing. - j1m

How many times will this show up in my FriendFeed? 3 so far and counting... - niniane

FriendFeed Friends > Real-World Friends > Absolute Strangers > FaceBook Friends - Louis Gray

Am I the only one that doesn't see Facebook as a competitor? It's just another source to get plugged into FriendFeed or any other aggregator I find useful. FriendFeed, on the other hand, is like a forum that I'd actually want to visit, seeded by the activities and content production of people I care about. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Mark, right, but imagine these capabilities integrated into FB... why would someone who doesn't use FF start using it if they're already on Facebook all day long? And FB will have the upper hand, as it can freely aggregate FF streams without FF being able to do the same... - Aviv

Most of the people I know on Facebook are more interested in ""vaulting a set while playing PackRat", whatever the hell that means. - Christopher Black

To hell w/ Facebook, Friendfeed pwns! - FatallyHip

Agreeing with Ginger and FatallyHip. Down with Facebook! Hooray for FriendFeed! - dgw

FriendFeed will win as long as I have freedom to control my FriendFeed graph. I lost that at FB once all the "slightly friendly" people friended me. Someday someone will figure out that I want to tag my friends, so I can send all the sex stuff to one group of friends, all the geek stuff to another group, and all the health stuff to my family. - Daniel Dulitz

Agree with Daniel, group/tag friends can solve the BIG graph problem. - Lizunlong

Lets face it friendfeed is a feature acting as a site - efader

I agree with Jess. And this suggests a slogan: "Friendfeed: stalk interesting bloggers" - j1m

It's interesting that they chose to pre-announce this rather than just releasing it. Nevertheless, it's not really a surprise, and I think it'll be good for everyone because it provides more distribution for all apps, including FriendFeed. Hopefully it will also lead them further down the road towards opening up an Atom/RSS feed of their own news need, just as all these other services have. - Paul Buchheit

lol re: Christopher Black's comment about PackRat. - niniane

I am glad you like it, Elliot! How is LA treating you? Are you married yet? - Bret Taylor

LA is great, just advanced to candidacy last week. The wedding is in 2 weeks... - Elliot Berkman

I agree with Elliot. This is freakin awesome. Just one thing - how can I track my blogs when I have more than one? - Larry Borsato

A number of people have requested that -- we will get to it soon. No good way at the moment. - Bret Taylor

great service, hope my friends got invited soon ;D - Marcos

Shouldn't it link to the digg page, so others could digg it too? - Marcos

Yes, it should! We were just talking about that. Will be coming shortly... - Bret Taylor

I guess that the best would be having both, the direct link and the link for the digg page ;) - Marcos

Why are the best ideas, the simple ones? very cool - mobile version please ;-) - jon bradford

I just shed a tear of proudness - Andrew Carroll

nice - Kingsley Joseph

love how you implemented! - Martin Añazco

Bret do you plan on have a friendfeed zeitgeist? - efader

Can I post a comment for public viewing? Or to my friends? Or can I only comment on existing feeds? - Michael

Michael: you can only comment on existing feeds at the moment, but that has been requested by a few people. Added to the list of feature requests... - Bret Taylor
