Pete: FF is good for tech stuff, very little on science and medicine so I still use G Reader a lot - Sally Church
74 -- any more than 100 must be useless IMHO - JungleG
Too many - I end up hitting "mark all as read" on whole swathes of them from time to time, and am reverting slowly back to the likes of Newsvine, Blogs.com and Wired for a prepared skim of the news... - Jonathan Beckett
@sally, RSS is RSS, regardless of where it comes from. I aggregate in PVT rooms and share then to my main feed if need be. FF is good for every thing, - Peter Dawson
229 - MikeAmundsen
Peter- I find that i have stayed with teh habit of checking G-reader more than FF. I know I could use FF more, but for me, it is more of an instant information tool. Just a personal use choice, I guess. - Erin McMahon via twhirl

I use two usernames depending on availability. The Google order is: Twitter, StumbleUpon, YouTube, Technorati, Digg, LinkedIn, Last.fm, Jaiku, Disqus, Pownce and last but not least, FriendFeed. - Andy C
The thing that surprised me most was that identi.ca was first. And for you it doesn't even show up, even though a) you've been on it for longer b) you use it more than me, and c) you're cooler than I am. - Michael C. Harris

"This chart illustrates the beginning of this morning's earthquake followed seconds later by the first Twitter update from Los Angeles. About four minutes later, official news began to emerge about the quake." - Mike Doeff via Bookmarklet
6 more comments
It's interesting to compare the volume of tweets from the October 2007 (9 months ago) quake in the Bay Area (a 5.6) with the quake from today, which was a similar magnitude (a 5.4). It looks like the volume of tweets is about 4x larger for today's quake. In other words, Twitter has grown A LOT since last October. - Mike Doeff
Could also be a larger # of LA folks on Twitter. It's a bigger city after all. - Tsega Dinka
Its a shame more people in the don't subscribe to the AFP wire. We moved the earthquake urgent at 11.46 after it was confirmed by the U.S. Geological Survey, 5 minutes ahead of AP. --- URGENT Powerful quake felt in Los Angeles 07/29/2008 11:46 - US-QUAKE-CALIFORNIA - World News (ANA) - AFP LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2008 (AFP) - A strong earthquake was felt in Los Angeles on Tuesday, causing buildings to shake but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, witnesses said. rcw/cl - Jon Dillon
Tsega - but we should also consider the tweets from people who weren't in the area but are talking about it - e.g. "I heard that there was a quake in SoCal". - Mike Doeff
You make a good point - Tsega Dinka
Tsega - that has me thinking - wouldn't it be cool if you could do a Twitter search on some term and then be able to look at a heat map showing the locations of everyone's tweets based on the profile location? e.g. if someone did a search on "quake" today you'd see a concentration of tweets in SoCal. - Mike Doeff
Mike - heat map would kick ass for this kind of information. It would really tell the story of how news spreads. - Tsega Dinka
the heat map idea is nice and might actually work since most tweeter have a location in their profile and twittervision actually uses that to show where a tweet came from - Fuad Arshad

True that it's slow, while watching the FriendFeed page I see around 2 min. delay between actually receiving posts. Thwirl I really like for design and concept. But for the network-capabilities, it could maybe do better. - Zu aka ElijahBailey via twhirl
i never understood why there needs to be separate instances for every account. and yeah, butt ugly. - Craig Childs
I wouldn't use it myself -- Twitterrific and twitter.com work way better for me. - Jake Jarvis
ugly yes, but the feature set is first class - Duncan Riley
I just use the website. SMS for people I really am following, - Andrew Feinberg
I like twhirltles. Twhirl is my favorite. - Bwana McCall
It's currently the only way to get desktop notifications of @replies in identica on the mac. I'd love for an active Mac OS X native application that implemented these microblogging/status update services at the same speed that Friendfeed implements them. Maybe then I'd stop using just Twitter. - Mark Trapp
I deleted it some time ago. The view was not worth the climb. - Phil Yanov
I'm not the world's biggest Twhirl fan by any means. I think they've been completely unresponsive to new development since Seesmic bought it. Before that happened, you could actually get a reply from the developer and updates were frequent. Since then, updates have become far less frequent and I don't know the last time I've had a response to a tweet about issues. But, in Twhirl's defense, it isn't any uglier than any other app available. And you can skin it, so if it's ugly, it's your own fault. - Gregory Pittman via twhirl
I don't like it either, can't match Twitterific. - Oli Kenobi
Yes. You are. Now what?:-) - Francine Hardaway
I've used Twhirl more than most AIR apps, but that's not saying much. - Chris Baskind
Works good for me on Vista, just use the the web based version of Twitter on Mac OS X - Scott
After making an effort to like Twhirl for the longest while, I am now back to the browser for both twitter and friendfeed. The search continues... - /(bb|[^b]{2})/ (Kamath)
I think it needs some UI improvements as they add services but I think it's very cool, actualoly. - Hal Rottenberg via twhirl
I like Spaz for Twitter...is there an alternative for FF? - Marc Vermut via twhirl
no, you're not. I don't like it either. - edythe

I can't stand it, it is buggy, and for some reason, they display comments in reverse chronological order. It is sub-par, but it the best FF client I have found so far, but that isn't saying much. - James Mowery via twhirl
My biggest complaint is that it's a RAM hog. It also occasionally beachballs on me, but I'm guessing that's related to my first point. - Kevin Johnson via twhirl
Me too. - James Clarke
I use Twhirl on my linux box. It's been rock solid and have been running for several months now. - imabonehead
while I agree twhirl is a Memory hog and the interface is getting messier by the day it still seems to be the best app out there - Fuad Arshad
I hated it. Using TwitterFox - Alex C. Williams
Twitterrific and TwitterFox do the job for me. Twhirl's interface just irritates me. - Andrew Trinh
The scrolling behavior annoyed the heck out of me, but maybe I missed a magic key combo. I want it to work like Google Reader, where it always scrolls the next item to the top of the window. Twhirl scrolls to the next item that's not completely visible in the window when using the scroll wheel or down arrow. This always threw me off, so I stopped using it. A combined window is also sorely needed. Tabs would be ok but an option for a single view of all services intermixed would be best. - invariant
nope. me too. i would assume everybody using windows effectivly (not that that are many people) do not like the interface as it is very counterintuitive to what makes windows fast and efficient to work with. - Nicole Simon
I agree Thirl needs some extra work, especially when it comes to scrolling in FriendFeed - but I stick to it to give them time to improve it. Hopefully they will until I start to believe all the haters here. - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl
Man, Twhirl is terrible. It won't stay open more than about 5 minutes for me. It never notifies me. Every interface I've seen using Air requires too much relearning. The standard web page interface for FriendFeed works much better. - Richard Crocker
Yeah, I installed it thinking "Hey, what a great way to keep up with FF" Hell no! It's awful and the scrolling is so jerky! But I do like the notifications... - zoblue (Zulema ❤'s you)
I'm a fan of Twhirl, but then, I'm biased. I work with Marco (the developer of twhirl) at Seesmic. A number of the issues mentioned here are very frustrating shortfalls of the AIR platform (that we're eager to discover workarounds for.) FWIW, I can tell you that we are very interested in the option for a single window view. I would love to hear any feedback at thomas@seesmic dot com - Thomas Knoll
Thomas, glad to see you here. It's always good to hear from the developer. That used to be a huge plus for Twhirl. But that stopped suddenly when Seesmic bought Twhirl. That's a shame. You're correct in saying that some of the bugs listed here are AIR bugs, over which you have no control. But some of them--the spastic jumping around, for example--are not AIR bugs. They're all Twhirl's. And we haven't heard any explanation and there have been seemingly no attempts to fix it. - Gregory Pittman via twhirl
Hey Gregory, sorry, the past months have been full of coding work, and I have to admin, my responsiveness to user questions wasn't as good as it should be. Apologies, I'll try to catch up on that. As you mention the jumping windows bug, it is indeed a problem of the AIR platform, not twhirl's. We are trying to find ways to avoid it, and as our tests show, it has become better, but we are not fully able to work around it yet. - Marco Kaiser

"You should call your session, "If I could be like Dan." "Sometimes I dream, that he is me." I like the idea of rolling the other sessions into the Unconference. I think OOW might not be quite ready for a blank grid of timeslots, so pre-populating some of the sessions would be a good idea. Maybe open the Unconference schedule early. Justin/Marius: You guys
