oops sorry for all the typos i have acrylics on
- Samantha Scheideler
What you have then Robert?
- Rob Sellen :o)
Demi, the major difference to me is tha FF is more engaging; if you play along. Meaning, don't post something and then not interact with other users. Go back to Twitter if you don't want to make an effort.
- Chad Gesser
from BuddyFeed
http://bit.ly/8dSsK <<< post that to her on twitter
- Rob Sellen :o)
Aww Chad that wasnt nice at all
- Jessica Williams
Ya and if she is sitting back watching trying to figure out whens a good time to say something to us all that isnt going to make her want to talk
- Jessica Williams
Chad - that is wrong - I got that SO many times - you guys never do it to girls
- Liza + = ?
Welcome!
- Stephan Miller
ignore ppl who say go back to Twitter
- Liza + = ?
Chad.. please don't go down that road.. a few have done it..I have made mistakes here before.. they stick... look at the spammer earlier in this thread.. ;o) CLICK the timestamp under demi's name here and open this thread in its own tab ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
yayy, demi B-) ff is the place for all the action.
- Gtp19
liza... lol.. you start using this place, and you won't want to go to twitter so much ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
I am tired of ppl saying go back to Twitter - get over yourself or I will say go back to atari
- Liza + = ?
yep spammers don't last round here
- Lynn
Yes, try Streamy.....
- Janet Fouts
thanks Holden
- Lynn
and to do that use the link in the top bar on this page... email is direct too.. ;o) yeah you can post a DM from your email too.. ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)

- Tina Haight
LIZA.. can I have a go on your atari? :P

- Tina Haight

- Rob Sellen :o)
Everyone makes fun of me, ignore it
- Liza + = ?
Tina.. we just want to OPEN her eyes.... ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
Greetings new FriendFeed users. Welcome to the playground.
- Robert Kenney
WTH, Demi might as well save friendfeed from closing.. bring back demi.
- Gtp19
Hey Demi..I just signed up for FriendFeed the other night. Not sure what to think about it either... hmmm
- Melisa
so.. who needs people subbing to them???? ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
Robert, I don't either.
- Martha
so how do I tweet it to her from here?
- Lynn
Its quite funny either way. True or not.
- Matt G
go to your home page... post it in the comments.. with your @mrsaplusk too.. click the CC to twitter . post ;o) as long as you have added your twitter username here that is...
- Rob Sellen :o)
Beginners can find help here: http://friendfeed.com/friendf... and feel free to ask anyone!
- Robert Kenney
I don't know, just gonna feel it out.....
- Brenda Erdman Velasquez
done but I had to do it from tweetdeck, I will keep workin on this though
- Lynn
Think of it as the place where all of your online stuff goes. You see the stuff, say, that your friends on Twitter are liking on YouTube. You can then talk about it, favorite it, etc. just like you do on Facebook. It's a mashup of all of your Web activity in one place.
- Steve Lynch
from twhirl
Lynn... you will like it here, you will notice whenever anything gets commented on, or liked, it jumps to the top of the page...
- Rob Sellen :o)
The key to FriendFeed is following me. :)
- Andrew
She'll never see this but I just have to comment knowing that I interacted with Demi Moore. ;)
- Keith - @tsudo
It's amazing that with all of Demi's followers that she doesn't get more people over here. I'm noticing a trend: not many people engage on Tweets.
- Robert Scoble
ahh that is why nothing is in the order it was posted in
- Lynn
Be sure to add the bookmarklet to your browser. Makes posting to FriendFeed much easier.
- Robert Kenney
It's nice to see so many new people joining up; welcome to everyone! I was going to suggest some of you check out the FriendFeed for Beginners group but I see someone else has already done that. Otherwise, the best suggestion I can offer you all is to do a search for some things that interests you and follow the people that posted them.
- FFing Enigma
Subscribe to Holden.
- Gus
Robert..I have noticed that on twitter they tend to struggle..... celebs would be in the element on here..
- Rob Sellen :o)
thanks for that Andrew I knew there was a right way to do this haha
- Lynn
Well I apologize to those that took offense to my initial comment. That's just my take: show me some substance. Welcome Demi!
- Chad Gesser
from BuddyFeed
http://bit.ly/8dSsK <<< IF more of you tweeted that to her with @herusername she may take notice...
- Rob Sellen :o)
Nice to see her here. Yet in this service, celebrities need to participate on the conversation which is what makes this different than Twitter.
- Manuel Mas
It would be deliciously ironic if the buyout that everyone was worried about was the making of FF!
- Matt G
Try not to get all caught up in out techno-babble, but a lot of learning here.
- professor daddyo
Everyone's new at some point. The more the better.
- Robert Kenney
lol.. chad.. the point is.. she probably not come back since posting.. but she will do.. and THEN realise what she missed..
- Rob Sellen :o)
Holden: come now. She has 1.7 million followers. This place should be going absolutely crazy if they were very engaged.
- Robert Scoble
Steve: that's what I meant to say! lol
- Chad Gesser
from BuddyFeed
I like old people.
- Michael McKean
oh demi- it would make my night if you said something on here to us. :)
- Tina Haight
I agree.. but then, how many actually click her links... not many i bet.
- Rob Sellen :o)
hmmm. can't wait here all night, demi!
- Tina Haight
Scoble: engage, engage, engage. That to me is the point, which is very attractive about FF. Might I add connection?
- Chad Gesser
from BuddyFeed
start adding all your other social accounts (if you have any), that's the real kick to friendfeed (at least for me), an all in one feed
- Gubatron
welcome chad, we like that much better
- Lynn
Well I was hoping she would talk with us. Oh well.
- Ben Hanten
Robert Scoble: Most Tweets aren't very... engaging! :)
- Steve Lynch
from twhirl
anyone watch big brother?
- Tina Haight
nope hells kitchen
- Lynn
NO.. not that shit bb.. not on here lol
- Rob Sellen :o)
oh i love hells kitchen too
- Tina Haight
leave big brother on twitter eh... ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
I saw that Rob :)
- Mattb4rd
haha! but it's such a great show. and i am still excited about tonight's show. ;)
- Tina Haight
welcome. where is ashton? :P
- Oguz Serdar
we don't need bb crap here .. I get away from tv and twitter to escape it!!!
- Rob Sellen :o)
Demi just posted to twitter I tried to tell her we were all waiting for her but...
- Lynn
we don't need ashton either ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
getting a little testie arent we
- Lynn
Ashton is here http://friendfeed.com/theateam
- Matt G
I think they come as a set
- Lynn
lol
- Lynn
no... I am just sayng.. both in one night would crash the place lol... if they started using it that is...
- Rob Sellen :o)
Ashton was on the Dan Patrick Show today and was hilarious. Gained a bunch of new respect for him.
- Ben Hanten
haha they do generate a bit of traffic
- Lynn
I didn't like the way he did things at twitter at all... told him as much too..
- Rob Sellen :o)
i'm not gonna lie- i'm a pretty big deal too.
- Tina Haight
ok i'm lying.
- Tina Haight
ark at you tina... ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
;) i DO have 88 followers on twitter. on my way to the million mark
- Tina Haight
wow.. :o) doing good... follow that many on here tonight and see what the power of this place is like ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
I never had heard of it before but I'm trying now. Is it fairly new?
- Barry Winters
from iPhone
lol
- Lynn
barry.. no... not so new..as much as sold..lol ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
suggestions? Yeah start chatting back while you still just have 175 subscribers :D
- BairdWilliamson
Welcome to all the new visitors. Barry, this is about 18 months old, but lots of new features were turned on recently.
- Robert Scoble
alright- i am giving up hope on demi coming. have been staring at a computer screen all day and night for work.
- Tina Haight
night everyone!
- Tina Haight
night nice chatting
- Lynn
What?! The Scobelizer is a doubter as well? Tack it on to the list...
- iamkhayyam
Yeah, welcome to all... :o) any problems you only have to ask..ask ANYONE lol ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
I'm not a doubter anymore! :-)
- Robert Scoble
nice meeting you tina.. night. :o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
Haha! There you go... she's Verified :)
- iamkhayyam
make a group, add all your favorite sites.
- Tyson
What do you mean, Demi, "any suggestions?" What are you looking for? And why aren't you engaging, er, talking with us here?
- Robert Scoble
lmao..... good one robert.. shame she missed it happen in real time lol :o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
lol
- Gtp19
Hi Demi.You're a little late to the party. We are all worried they are going to shut us out of this nice little cozy club called Friendfeed and lead us back to the shark-infested waters of Facebook. We are still makin' hay while the sun shines. :-)
- Karma Martell
Well, if she's turned off real-time she might not even be seeing the comments yet, Robert. Or perhaps she made the post and left for dinner (west coast and all) and will check back later.
- FFing Enigma
...cool! welcome to FF. did you beat Ashton here?
- .LAG liked that
this is like a really really private party with only 198 following on friendfeed...Demi leave the party already?
- Rex Gradeless
This is just too cool.
- Sherrie Belken
http://bit.ly/8dSsK << RT that in reply to her... see if she gets to see it at least ONE bloody time lol...
- Rob Sellen :o)
It seems she doesn't care the comments.
- Oguz Serdar
perhaps just not aware they are here ...
- Tom Horn
Engaging?! Seriously Scoble? Haha... that's a funny one. One msg on FriendFeed and then she's off for some Kabbalah teachings.
- iamkhayyam
probably Demi doesn like to be part of comments, rather she likes to make the headlines, i mean the posts, lol :D
- Gtp19
+1 Robert
- Robert Kenney
ok gettin mean now gotta go
- Lynn
LoL Hi Demi... Welcome to the FF Mob! Now go and spread some hate </extremesarcasm>
- tehKenny
Lynn: see ya, sorry about the meanness. But it would be nice to see Demi actually chat for a few minutes so she could get a sense of the power of friendfeed.
- Robert Scoble
Demi: I see you're here. And welcome to all the new people on FriendFeed. I'd like to see you (and Ashton) take part in the conversations here. ;)
- Dennis Jernberg
aggreed but bein mean isn't gonna make it happen
- Lynn
Maybe she is too awestruck at the magnificence of friendfeed to type. I am imagining her sitting there frozen with her mouth hanging open watching all of this going on.
- April
yes, we would love to have Demi here.. long live friendfeed... i mean until its shut down!!
- Gtp19
Well, you're about to get a billion responses of course, but you should hook up feeds from other sites you use too, not just Twitter. Maybe a YouTube channel too? Or Flickr?
- Ciaoenrico
while wondering why twitter just..sits there lol
- Rob Sellen :o)
April: That makes sense
- Matt G
Welcome indeed. You should add more of your feeds to your FF account
- Vinko
sub to some of the others here in this thread.. you all get to learn this place together then...
- Rob Sellen :o)
@April That could be it. FF in Helvetica mode is hypnotic ...
- Tom Horn
Thanks for that @iconic88 :) Always a good reminder... #love is all there is :)
- iamkhayyam
Welcome to FF!
- Jack Wilson, K4SAC
lol @ Tom
- Gtp19
Thank you iconic88
- Sherrie Belken
FF in any mode is hypnotic. I haven't been able to pull myself away for many months.
- April
Hmm .. no , I think we are done. This is probably the last one ...
- Tom Horn
Now everyone isl just staring waiting for Demi to comment :p
- Gary Gannon
lol
- Sherrie Belken
nah...plenty more will come later when everyone else sees it in best of day.
- April
and if she happens to engage it'll explode
- Gary Gannon
yeah, its jus warming up... plenty more to come.
- Gtp19
http://bit.ly/8dSsK << could tweet her that link.. its this THREAD .. ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
Demi this is my first time trying this after you. What is the difference between this and twitter? How did u find this?....Kim Goedde
- Kim Goedde
Kim, Demi hasn't been back on the thread to respond yet. I can't speak for her, but for me the biggest difference between FF and Twitter is the organization. If you send out a tweet you have to watch for @replies in response to that tweet, and they're kind of easy to miss. On FF when you make a post, all the replies to it are lined up underneath and it's much easier to follow (and take part) in the conversation.
- FFing Enigma
That's the whole deal Tina
- Sherrie Belken
Well, that's a big part of it Sherrie. The inclusion of media is another big selling point (for me, at least). Here people can include images, files, audio, or video on their posts and I can see/hear it here. On Twitter there's always a clickthrough, an extra tab or window, etc... Perhaps I'm lazy, but I like being able to interact with it all in one spot =)
- FFing Enigma
Demi-are you getting paid to promote these sites? I have posted comments now and again and have never got 1 response from you......Kim Goedde
- Kim Goedde
Yes, I see posts that include the pics from my twitter account. Very cool.
- Sherrie Belken
PJ WRONG.. whatever Scoble says is the right thing for HIM to do... and it may work for you, or not.. just use the place and find you own rhythm here. :o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
Kim... why does THAT bother you.... do you think you could repsond to all those 1.7 million odd? THAT is why we are trying to say to her here... you should see this thread.. but she hasn't yet been back it seems... NO-ONE owes you a reply.. we learn that the hard way ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
250+ subscribers and counting. I'm holding off for now, even if all the rest of the geeks are subscribing. Not following her on Twitter. Demi, you'd better give me a good reason to subscribe. *switches to wait & see mode*
- Dennis Jernberg
Robert:Same thing here as on Twitter. Only a "handful" of "followers/subscribers" engage.
- Dana Fosburgh
My one suggestion to you, since FriendFeed will probably be a high traffic place for you - check out Robert Scoble (scobleizer) and see how he handles high volume.
- John E. Bredehoft
from fftogo
i like this so far..
- wendy smith
A good suggestion
- Sherrie Belken
Learn from the master. ;)
- Dennis Jernberg
'Crickets'
- Robert Kenney
sheesh... her subs are crap... subbing mainly to people who never use the place???
- Rob Sellen :o)
That was just imported
- Sherrie Belken
Yeah. When you join FF, it imports your Twitter follows. That's why I have over 120 subscriptions when I have only 75 subscribers: people on Twitter join, and I subscribe to them automagically.
- Dennis Jernberg
was also useless lol ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
Hey Demi, welcome to Friend Feed. Hope all is well with you and those you love. Think about adding Robert Scoble to your Friend Feed list. He is the leading expert on all things Friend Feed, and usually is the first to give us heads up when something new is coming down the pike. Take care of you! =)
- SashaKane
If you use Firefox, download Yoono --a Firefox add-on that allows you to see Twitter, Facebook, Friendfeed in Firefox, and gives a central place where all can be updated simultaneously.
- Danny Groveman
thats what I wanted
- Sherrie Belken
Can be overwhelmed by Scobles feed at times..not ideal for a new user..

Glad to have you both join us, Laurel and Rose =) Rose, Demi is importing her Twitter stream into FriendFeed, that's why you see her Twitter items here. When you comment on one of her Twitter items here, there's a checkbox that will allow you to send that comment to her on Twitter as an @reply.

- Lin Hill
Lin, what exactly would you like to do on FriendFeed? Are you just wanting to aggregate your items from around the internet, have conversations with other people, etc? There are lots of different ways to use FriendFeed depending on what you'd like to get out of it =)
- FFing Enigma
Interesting to see what this thread has become, especially since Demi Moore has not checked back into FriendFeed since posting this.
- Justin Korn
ummm not sure what i want, think maybe i should leave quietly by back door
- Lin Hill
just follow people and comment now and then, thats all
- Lin Hill
Nah, leaving's not necessary Lin. Especially if you've had a drink: Friday nights on FriendFeed can be fun! If you'd like to see what FriendFeed looks like to be, check http://friendfeed.com/isthiss... That page is what FriendFeed looks like to me because of the people I follow (which is a lot, so you might want to pause it). I use FF to have fun and find good conversations. Other people use it for research, or business, or just to aggregate their material online.
- FFing Enigma
well, this is the most i`ve been tweeted to since i started, i dont feel invisible anymore!

Don't just import your Twitter like that ditz, Kim Kardashion. But do import what you feel and read and participate in posts. The key thing is participation on here from teaching something to learning something.

- Lin Hill
Taking a look at your profile, I see that you're only following 12 people and not really commenting/liking all that much. That's probably why you're not getting a lot of interaction. Find some people that are interesting and interact with them on their posts. Once you start having conversations with people on their material, they get interested in what you have to say and are more likely to follow you back.
- FFing Enigma
i didnt realise i even had 12, where did you find that out?

Did you sign up to FriendFeed with your Twitter credentials, Lin? If so, it will subscribe you to the people you follow on Twitter that are on Friendfeed. It's not a big deal, really: all you do is hover over their name and click 'unsubscribe' if you don't want them.

"Most of the popular desktop clients for Twitter and other social media services use Adobe AIR, which takes resource usage to a whole different level. Both clients are nice to look at, but lacking a lot in the feature department. This is painfully clear in comparison to other clients already in this space like Tweetvisor and PeopleBrowsr, but both Sobees and Seesmic are alpha software and we should expect new features to be added soon."

Unfortunately Kol, I'm unable to use this because of my archaic Windows 2000 OS.
- Sharon McPherson
I'm just downloading and trying it. Looks interesting although it requires .NET 3.5 so it will likely be as much of a memory hog as most AIR apps.
- Kenton
tried this today, and my biggest complaint is that it seemed to insist on using IE to open items.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
second complaint was the response time...very slow. - I Did like the RSS feeds in it. but that's not enough to give up my PeopleBrowsr.

Installing now. On the face of it, this looks like exactly what I'm looking for.

Ah, shame, Sharon. Rob, really? That's pants! :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol: yes I played with it for a while, and didn't see the means to change it (and IE is certainly not my default browser!) Though this app looks like it could be cool, the .NET and Microsoft reliance are not for me. I thought on first run that the interface needed work. I liked the design layout and the multi-network connectivity, but it seemed to have been missing a lot of the features...
more...
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
wow that demo is really impressive but from what rob has to say i have to agree that id stick to peoplebrowsr for now. need to read up more on this, looks exciting
- Freddie Benjamin
I retried this app, and it did not use my IE. Very weird. I haven't figured out what makes it use the one browser instead of the other. It was a pretty nice app, but I still think that it needs some work to be ready for the big time. Basicall there's nothing in sobees that's not in PeopleBrowsr BUT it's considerably less complicated than PB's advanced mode. The sobees response time was still not very good on my second run.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
IMO, For more casual users this application may be a nice solution. If you aren't a power-tweeter, and want an integrated "social desktop" application, give this a try. If you're more of a power user I would recommend PeopleBrowsr.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Finally gave PeopleBrowsr a whirl on the strength of Rob's endorsements. Wow. It's TweetDeck done better!
- Kathy Fitch
Kathy: In Lite mode it is exactly that. In Advanced mode, it's a complete "Social Desktop" (And Thanks! )

Kol - Switched from Sobees to BDule ... Much more stable under Win 7 here

bdule is only a small part of the sobees application. useful, but not the full experience by any stretch.

Charlie: When you say light version you mean the bDule version?
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
i install this but is giving me an error because it won't start (application say that there is one process that needs to be made...) how can i solve.
- Laurentiu
my suspicion is that you don't have .NET 3.5 properly installed. I've also noticed that exiting the application once running will not necessarily clear all of its processes out of active memory. A false start may leave the partial set running. You may need to use the task manager to end any associated processes (or reboot if that is easier)

Shame its not available for the mac :(

That's dangerous. Lists require lots of thought, work, organization. If there's one thing we know from running Grazr, people do not want to do that (well most non-organization obsessed people). I think essentially forcing the use of lists is a big mistake for broader adoption.

I don't mind the speed, but I think there are more elegant things they could do with the UI during live updates (ie: fading to/from colors) and of course letting the user control speed of updates and UI effects.

- Jordi Soler
from twhirl
you need the pause button accessible from anywhere on the page. I'm 70 plus comments down on this conversation and the screen keeps pushing it down and makes the screen "jittery" to keep your eye on what you are reading. Because the screen is moving fast, you probably need 'comment' 'like' and 'hide' links on each nested conversation on anything over 30 comments
- Lou Paglia

abdellah: you need to build lists around interests and personality types. So "noisy jerks" go in one list "quilters" go in another "posts lots of bacon" goes in another "tech geeks" goes in another. Jordi: my life has been real time for more than a year now. This takes it to a new level, though.

The problem is that lets say a video is shared, and I'm watching the video - the page keeps going down, and I can't finish watching the video inside FriendFeed! That's not sharing, is it?
- Daniel Brusilovsky
@Daniel Good point. Perhaps they could open Videos (and similar stuff) in a modal window, allowing the content to scroll ?
- Ahsan Ali
I think if they auto-pause the UI while I'm mousing over it that might help. It wouldn't need to pause long, just a few seconds.
- Matt Griffith
I don't foresee myself being a pioneer on the new FFeed, so hoping to see some interesting articles now that the embargo time has passed
- AJK
Another suggestion on the new real-time updates. Give me keyboard shortcuts to pause the feed. Using my mouse is too slow in a fast-moving feed.
- Jesse Stay
+1 for Pause keyboard shortcut.
- Matt Griffith
I think the number of comments went from zero to +100 in les then 45 minutes.
- Peter van Teeseling
Ryan -- the "-lolcats" search doesn't do that from what I can tell -- it returns an empty feed. I would also like to be able to search for posts having less than a certain number of likes/comments as well as more . I would like to be able to set up searches/feeds for complex expressions ("-lolcats and -loldogs" or "-lolcats and -loldogs" from a group of people with more than 10 likes and 0 comments for instance).

@Leigha: Yeah, I can definitely see the need for another monitor for this version of FF. I'm considering it myself.
- AJ Kohn
OK, Now I see how the lists work. Much easier to manage.
- Leigha Baer
FriendFeed should take that as a sign - you shouldn't *need* a second monitor to use their service.
- Jesse Stay
@Jesse: I view this as a better way to access the data flow - which is what I believe FF is at the end of the day. Why not have a separate place to conduct my data queries while I do other things?
- AJ Kohn
For Twitter, the only way I listen in is via search.twitter.com or pure luck. Or via FF for that matter. I view more Twitter content on FF than on Twitter itself.

Moving people from out of my home feed to a different list one at a time is extremely slow. If there's a way to move people out of a list and into a different list in bulk, I haven't found it yet.
- Chuck Baggett
Is there any way to select almost everyone on your home list and move them to a different list in one operation? (Similar to how you can checkmark hundreds of messages in Gmail and perform an operation such as tagging or archiving on all of them at one time.)

When i was looking for a todo list there was RTM or Hiveminder. RTM has more features but seemed harder to use and didn't have Hiveminder's braindump feature which I've found is great to just sit and hammer out tasks and then go back and organize them.
- Bryan
I liek RTM but the UI is a bit week. Hiveminder has some awesome features, but the ui is also dense and its in (gak) Perl. So it wont scale.

I keep hearing people say "if you're arguing against comments being on FriendFeed, you Just Don't Get It", but nobody's actually bothered to say /why/ comments on FF are a good thing. It's just /assumed/ to be good.
- Chris Anthony
Here's my answer: http://bhc3.wordpress.com/2008...
- Hutch Carpenter
why do the comments on FF have to be justified? Is the people who don't like them the ones who need to defend their position.
- Alejandro
I like friendfeed comments just fine and think they are vastly better than pulling in all the disaggregated comments as Allen suggests. But I hope Allen will raise some cash, hire some software developers and build the thing that he thinks is 1000x better.
- Robert Seidman
What stolen conversation? I'm of the opinion that very few blogs actually had conversation in comments section on a consistent basis in the first place.
- Shey
Shey, if your opinion is backed up by a wealth of data, doesn't that make it fact? ;-)
- Robert Seidman
Shey, do the blogs that didn't have significant comment conversation in comments have significant comment activity on FriendFeed?
- Chris Anthony
Alejandro, if anyone needs to do any justification, it's the entity making the change, and that's FriendFeed at the moment.
- Chris Anthony
Jason, yes, under this model of thinking they are. Why focus on FriendFeed in the post and the conversation? Because FriendFeed, to use Malcolm Gladwell's term, is in the process of tipping.
- Chris Anthony
Chris. Huh? FriendFeed is a service where people can talk about stuff. If people don't want to talk about stuff here, they don't have to. If people want to talk about YOUR stuff here and you don't like it because you can't control it that's not any different than people talking about your stuff at a conference where a bunch of people are chatting about it in a hallway.
- Robert Seidman
Robert, I have no idea which of my comments you're responding to. (That in itself is a limitation of FriendFeed - although really, it's a limitation of any non-threaded comment system.) Where did I talk about controlling the conversation? You're putting words in my mouth.
- Chris Anthony
Robert, I prefer to /see/ the conversation. I don't care about /controlling/ it. If we're supposed to treat FriendFeed like it's an extended conference conversation, that's one thing, and we can all relax a bit. But that's not how people are treating it - and it's not how FriendFeed is behaving.
- Chris Anthony
The more I think about it, the more I think FF could change that perception - of item comments as decentralized blog comments rather than hallway chats - by simply changing the term "comment" to "conversation" (or "converse", in the verb form under a given entry), or something similar. As it is, by this point we associate "comment" with "blog comment", which is why people are getting so riled up about it.
- Chris Anthony
Chris, if it's just a preference then just like my preference that Angelina Jolie would think I'm cuter than Brad Pitt, you're probably going to have to get over it. How is FriendFeed behaving? In a way that allows people to have conversations about something you wrote that you might not wind up seeing? <gasp>
- Robert Seidman
Robert, in the future, please read my comments before you reply to them.
- Chris Anthony
Chris, I read your comments. I disagree with you. In the future, please feel free to ignore differing opinions. That's something that actually is in your control.
- Robert Seidman
I didn't know someone owns the conversation. I'm gonna start asking for permission every time I discuss something with a friend.
- Alejandro
look at all these comments which belong on my blog! Robert, you brought up the one thing that I knew someone would say - which is that people can chat offline about my post and I can't control it. Truth is that FF can build the best tool that does exactly what I've suggested, it doesn't change anything about the interaction here at all. What it does is let the x people who aren't on...
more...
- Allen Stern
Allen, we'll have to agree to disagree. "Look at all these comments that belong on my blog!" I don't see them as "belonging" to your blog. I'd lean more towards "Wow, look at all these people talking about my blog, cool!"
- Robert Seidman
Robert it is cool, it just belongs across the street so that everyone can play together - i want you to see and be part of the entire conversation, not a fragmented part. And I want everyone to be part of the entire conversation - it's possible.

10 years? In Internet time that's like 100... Technology changes accelerate exponentially. In 10 years the internet itself and the way we access/interact with it won't be anything like it is today. Will FriendFeed be around then? I'm guessing probably not... it will have morphed or been replaced by something more useful several times by then. I don't think we have to worry about it too much, just hang on for the wild ride.

- Dan Rockwell
from twhirl
Does it really matter? I mean, no one is going to take away FriendFeed if it doesn't "go mainstream" by X date. FF is just 5 (or 6?) people who are servign 100k others. Not a bad ratio - and we FF highly value the service. I'm sure things will keep getting better and better.
- Mike Reynolds
10 years is certainly pushing it BIG TIME. If it isn't in 2-3 years, it won't happen at all.
- Andrew Dobrow
Many of you have very unrealistic expectations. NOTHING reaches > 50% of the population in 2-3 years. Google may have 68% of searches, but that is certainly from less than 50% of the population (more active searchers are more likely to use Google), and that has taken 10 years and is one of the biggest successes ever.
- Paul Buchheit
+1 Like for Paul's comment. Good businesses take time to grow. Online and social makes it happen faster, but it takes time nonetheless. "Internet time" means changes can come along quickly. But it doesn't describe mainstream adoption.
- Hutch Carpenter
Let's put things in perspective. Flickr is mainstream right? They have 1.7% of internet traffic (Alexa), a very far cry from the Facebook numbers. But, people would also consider Flickr to be a success.
- Rob Diana
@Jason - That is why I brought up Flickr. They changed the idea of sharing pictures. There were several lifestreaming services launched at the same time, but there are only a few with traffic. The bigger question is whether lifestreaming catches on with the masses.
- Rob Diana
@Jason - Oh, ok. I was never comparing them so I did not get what you were saying. Forgot they were in the chart in the article.
- Rob Diana
@Jason - a couple things. 50% adoption is the Wikipedia definition of mainstream. I think 50% is too high. If 1 out of 3 people use something, I'd say that's pretty mainstream. I also don't compare FriendFeed to the automobile or the Internet directly in terms of utility. Only for comparison in terms of adoption cycles. I'd love a chart that shows MyYahoo, Google search, AOL, etc. Haven't seen that.
- Hutch Carpenter
@Rob, I don't think Flickr is designed for lifestreaming, even though a lot of early-adopter types use it that way. It's designed for photography enthusiasts to show off, and for web surfers to search for interesting photos taken by strangers. They're doing extremely well in that niche. Sharing your life using photos calls for something different. I've made OurDoings for that purpose and think it works very well. The problem I'm finding is that the early adopter phase is not optional.

Even on basic search there's no comparison. On Thursday evening I performed an ego search on both Summize and TweetScan, and Tweetscan missed most of the relevant tweets from the last couple of days.
