Steven did you not use the beta earlier? Why not voice your opinions then? Seems like FriendFeed gave us time to react by releasing it as beta first. - Jesse Stay

@Jesse I have at least *three* times expressed my opinion on Friendfeed about the beta .. I was soundly ignored. I did it both comments to other people's posts as well as a couple (at least one) of my own. I definitely haven't been quiet about this - Steven Hodson

@Jesse http://friendfeed.com/search... they are all there - Steven Hodson

Steven, then you have every right to complain. :-) I have some of the same opinions. I just know some people complaining that never tried the beta beforehand. - Jesse Stay

@Jesse I really tried to like it but every time I tried using it I just found more things about it that I didn't like. - Steven Hodson

It grew on me, but I think there are still a lot of options they need to add. I also agree with the design - the gray and white and orange and green make it look like it's from Jamaica - Jesse Stay

What convinced me though is how TWIT.tv is using it for chat - Jesse Stay

Simple point Jesse - they had a working refresh time frame *AND* a real time option for tose that wanted it - *WHY* force us ALL to use this display when what was there before worked and was fair to everyone - this was just a heavy handed decision - Steven Hodson

Just to be exact, it was Lindsey is Fierce (Lindsey Smith/eclipse115) who did the mockup in response to a challenge from Lindsay D (Lindsay Donaghe/bluecockatoo). Let's get the credit right. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

Although I still use Friendfeed, maybe more than I previously did, I agree in ALL counts. I hope the Friendfeed Team reads this and fix what is broken. - Alejandro

Agree with Steven very strongly on design: Lindsey's design far nicer. FriendFeed needs to a: hire a designer, and/ or b: hire a female employee. The new look was designed by engineers who think rounded edges are cutting edge - Duncan Riley

@Alejandro I have a sinking feeling that they won't - Steven Hodson

@Abby thanks .. I'm trying :) - Steven Hodson

I saw your earlier misgivings, Steven. And this was a thoughtful piece. - Chris Baskind

thanks Chris I appreciate the good words - Steven Hodson

I emphatically agree with Duncan Riley on every point. I'm glad he spoke up so forcefully. - Sean McBride

It's from Steven Hodson, actually. ;) - Alejandro
