This is a request in regard to conference microblogging on FF, e.g., http://friendfeed.com/rooms... A frequent frustration of participants is that there is comment duplication, as multiple people post the same material within seconds of each other. This is happening a lot, and is difficult to eliminate on a large scale. Any chance of seeing comments as they are drafted in real time? It would make FF much more useful for conference microblogging. - Michael Nielsen

Incidentally, the room may be of interest as an application of FriendFeed. With 5-10 people simultaneously microblogging we're getting close to complete conference liveblogging coverage, including links to relevant URLs, other materials, etc. Thankyou for a wonderfully flexible service! - Michael Nielsen

Speaking as someone microblogging for the first time, the possibility of simultaneous comments was a barrier to getting started - some of my first microblogs were duplications, which was pretty embarrassing. - Jen Dodd

This feature should be in a feature of Rooms for sure. I was thinking about this today too. - Roger Kondrat

I was irked when the TC50 Room was only postable for TechCrunch staff. - Daniel J. Pritchett

Perhaps it is useful for presenters at conferences to have an assistant scribe their key points as they themselves speak. (real time) This would probably be best done via the account of the speaker. The speaker can then later respond to the discussions that she started as a result of her presentation. And even more interesting... she could distribute the conversation along with the slides distributed via slideshare. - Bart LePoole
