Why I like FriendFeed, reason No. 2197. #keeppaula isn't a big deal over here like it is over on Twitter right now. Maybe we should all pray that FriendFeed does NOT go mainstream?

I have no clue what #keeppaula is but I don't care either. Twitter's Trending Topics mean almost nothing to me anymore.
- MarkCarras
I have rarely, if ever, even looked at the the trending topics. Only real time I notice is when others tweet about them.
- Curt Mercadante
Mark: a popular show in USA is American Idol and Paula was one of the judges on the show. Not that you cared. Twitter has largely killed off the geeks by catering to celebrities. Huge change in just a year.

What are they doing to Pauly Shore?

I seriously hope friendfeed doesn't go mainstream. I kinda like having a geeky corner on the web (like what Twitter use to be).

Daynah: the problem is FriendFeed will go mainstream. The only question is whether FriendFeed will go mainstream by stabbing early adopters in the back, like Twitter did, or whether it will be done organically, in which case we can always find a way to get along?
- Robert Scoble
I really can't see FF going mainstream as Twitter did. I feel like it would HAVE to be organic.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I can't imagine FF going mainstream like twitter. Most people don't have the time or inclination to do what it takes to be comfortable here.

OMG, they're kicking Paula off Idol???!!!
- Hutch Carpenter
great point Robert!
- BEX
for the record, Kara is smokin'

Josh: for the record I assume you aren't talking about Kara Swisher. That's the sort of geek I am, cause I only know one Kara.
- Robert Scoble
For normal folks who don't follow celebrities or thousands of people, Twitter is pretty similar to FriendFeed in terms of overall usefulness. I'm not seeing a whole lot of dumb crap in my Twitter feed.
- mrshl
I'm cutting lots of people from my list of who I am following.
- Francine Hardaway
mrshl: in your feed, no, but I guess you don't use search very often or look over at trending topics.
- Robert Scoble
Yup, keep FriendFeed cool please. #keepcoola
- Mitch
Absolutely.
- Peter Thayer
How can anyone who takes advantage of the possibilities on FF not see its great distinction from twitter especially creativity, for one.
- Myrna
FriendFeed is a better service than Twitter... And about 98% less spam.
- Mark Davidson
Because most people can't see how the future is looking like for Friendfeed, they won't take us seriously. We won't really have to worry about the mainstream issue. Clue #1: So far, no trending topics list.
- Amir
Twitter needs better filters.
- Steve Lynch
from twhirl
Steve: and less spammers. But that cannot be controlled, ony guided (i'm quoting Chris Pirillo's 'What is community' speech from Wordcamp '09)
- Amir

I agree, MarkCarras, and #hashtags are lame too.
- Andy Bakun
FriendFeed's values, culture and innate brilliance are too good to repeat the errors of twitter; in other words I don't see FF going mainstream by stabbing their early adopter community in the back - as mentioned above. Organic growth + "Do No Evil" will be the future path to FF mainstream user adoption.
- Susan Beebe

Small is good, but this smacks of Indie Rock Pete's complaint, "Nothing's good if anyone else likes it."
- Info Glutton
I follow almost exactly 1/2 as many on FF than on Twitter which I think is indicative of the fast adoption rate for #FF. Just a couple months ago, the numbers weren't nearly as close. The find Twitter friends feature has had a lot to do with it.
