“FriendFeed needs a "Take a Break" button like Gmail now offers. I am f'ing powerless to resist the FriendFeed timesuck sometimes. Please, help a brother out...”

You need to learn self control. It's more scalable than having every service that comes along forcing you to take a break. :) - Amit Patel
For me, I just close twhirl when I dont' want to. Then when I want to see FF again, open it. Easy! - Jake (aka Jawee) via twhirl
Gmail has a "Take a Break" button? - Jennifer Van Grove via twhirl
Get a puppy. Worked for me. - Joe the Plumber
A baby who wants to type on the keyboard works for me. :-) - Robert Scoble
like time travel, you don't age when on friendfeed :) - Pokai
@amit You have known me over 4 years now and you are just figuring out that I need to learn self control?! Your kind of logic only works for rational beings. I am an addict, an obsessive time-waster. FF gives me a non-stop flow of intriguing content with everfresh semi-synchronous discussion continually pasted to it. I can't look away. Help. - Christopher Sacca
The solution is to find something else even more addictive ;) - Amit Patel
I don't follow too many people on FF, but I fear that when I do, this will be me. - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)
Sacca, my FF activity is currently pretty much throttled by life in meatspace. A very painful condition for me, so I can't offer a solution for you but I can definitely empathize!! @Pokai - I freaking wish it would stop time so I could do FriendFeed AND everything else! :) - Lindsay Donaghe
This was one of the unexpected benefits of reading FF in Google Reader (via friendfork, in my case): there's no reason to check back more often than Reader crawls the feed, and you won't miss anything if you don't check in frequently enough. - Ben Darnell

Compete says Seesmic is taking off, now the challenge is to keep this pace. Not easy but that's what we're working hard on thank you all for using Seesmic

What is the user base? - Nikos Anagnostou
While you're at it, can you fix Twitter? - Rafe Needleman via twhirl
Congrats on the growth, Loic! - Bret Taylor
Impressive status Loic...you're doing a fantastic job of growing Seemic (I am very happy you acquired Twhirl and have improved it so much) - Thanks!! =) - Susan Beebe
awesome always nice to see a good service get the respect it deserves - BCK
Cool! Congrats! - Shahar Nechmad via Alert Thingy
Bret, thanks! I won't be as cool if next month it gets flat or goes down but I like this months curve :) Rafe, well, XMPP in Twhirl is a start but they left it down for now. Nikos, we only have about 20 000 users from the alpha test phase, now we're open so it's growing. - Loic Le Meur
Great. I would be using seesmic except it keeps crashing my browser when I record a video. :( - Sam Guzmán
Congrats Loic! Always nice to see graphs that go up and to the right - Caleb Elston

Twhirl with top Friendfeed support (rooms, inline comments, avatars) just released!
June 10 at 5:41 pm - via twhirl - Link
The addition of filter by room is awesome, and inline comments is nice - but when do we get to see seesmic in thwirl?!? - Tony via twhirl
great job loic and the twhirl team!! - Morgan via twhirl
Great: rooms, auto-throttling - Not so great: FF posts take up so much room, less posts are visible at the same time - Can't wait for Seesmic support! - Garrido via twhirl
Loic - First impressions are fantastic - Ed Dale via twhirl
its there and update feature to twhirl or do I need to download and re-install? - rambn
Hey - I like it! Could you add support for opening a new tab when right clicking links? I hate how it overrides my current page! - Zach Landes via twhirl
I really like the new FF features. Can't wait to see Seesmic added to the mix. - Dana Franks via twhirl
Great update - thanks to Marco! - Marco Sascha Sven Hoppe via twhirl
rambn - click on the twhirl icon (top left) then click "Update" tab, then "Check for Update" - Thomas Knoll via twhirl
Thomas: thanks! - rambn
really liking this update - Josiah Lau via twhirl
where's the Seesmic support you hinted at earlier? - Dave "The Plumber" Cohen via twhirl
i love the look & feel - sam via twhirl
love the ability to scroll through comments - Danish Khan via twhirl
Sweet! - Tom
I'm ready to say that this is the first version of Twhirl with FF that I am willing to use, actually. - ∵JPGlockner∴ via twhirl
Tony, Seesmic is coming in a few weeks. Morgan thanks, Garrido it is coming, Ed thanks, rambn yes auto update close it you will see, Zachary working on that, Dana me too!, Marco yes Marco rocks, Josiah thanks, Dave it is not in this one, thanks Sam, Danish and Tom - Loic Le Meur via twhirl
so twhirl >> alert thingy?? - Josiah Lau via twhirl
I am a big fan of Twhirl and it keeps getting better - Mark Nassal via twhirl
WOWOWOWOW ... You guys are putting your release schedule on steriods! code monkies!!! I like all the new feature improvements! keep up the good work! - Susan Beebe
This caused me to dump alert thingy even though there are differences. Always liked Twhirl too bad it has picked up some hiccups from Twitter which is already the meme of legend in these parts... - Mark Forman
I'm in! This will def cause me to use friend feed more. - Evan Travers via twhirl
This is a nice feature. Just upgraded to the new version to use this. But your blog is never unblocked by the Great Firewall here. - Jianjun Zhang via twhirl
Comments inline work well, but make it hard to keep a track of whats going on. I guess thats more of a FF issue tho, nested conversations are much more complex than the flat twitterlike comments. - Steve Mactaggart via twhirl
I guess I'm getting used to it - without doubt, it's an improvement, thnx Loic and Marco - Garrido via twhirl
and try the pic share feature, it takes a few seconds to do what really looks like like a short blog post, a pic, a text and a link et voila! - Loic Le Meur
Loic, great update to twhirl, clean interface, more intuitive - Ralph Poole via twhirl
Nice update! Is there any shortcuts for Twhirl?? - Alex Sauceda via twhirl
still trying to get my head around friend feed in twhirl.... - djp via twhirl
Still not like the interface. Still not see the reason why we need a specific app for friendfeed. Some stuff could be sorted via a easy firefox extension e.g. notification. - Benjamin Kohler via twhirl
I'm not sure about this, but my main concern.. why does my FF feed in Twhirl look almost completely different than what I see on the web? Am I the only one seeing this? - felix
Love the new changes - a few issues still with the commenting. It remembers the past comment when I write a new one instead of clearing the box, and it also clears out my comment box every time the feed refreshes. - Jesse Stay via twhirl
Nice work! Loving the improvements! - Lon via twhirl
Great new features. Testing it out now. - Corvida
FriendFeed is going to be seeing a lot more activity because of this. Cheers to the Twhirl team! - Mark Frost via twhirl
Test! -------> Cool! - americanm via twhirl
Just tested it.. amazing.. thx for the update - BRIAN RITCHIE via twhirl
Instead of two windows, give me two tabs like gtalk (browser) - Mrinal Desai
Great update. Good work. - Bernd Sailer via twhirl
Really like the updates Loic! - Parth Awasthi
well - i´m still not sure, if I should prefer AlertThingy or Twhirl ;) - Dieter Schwarz via twhirl
Really digging the reduced memory usage. Before twhirl would growto over 500MB and now it's pretty steady at 150MB or so. Thanks! - Jauder Ho via twhirl

Just updated and not sure I like how much extra room the ff window takes up. I don't get to see a lot of posts at the best of times. - Steve Mactaggart via twhirl
Let's see if I get used to it, but seeing less comments at a time is bothering me right now - Garrido via twhirl
A nice update, but need the ability to expand and shrink the comment sections for each item. - Jordan via twhirl
It does that with the little '+' symbol and the nice scroll bar...i'm a fan - Marc Vermut via twhirl
The best FF rooms support in a third-party app is probably our FF XMPP bot - Wil via MojiPage Bot
when everything falls into place (ie seesmic XMPP, etc) twhirl will be hard to be. hell I might actually use seesmic then. and hey plurk has an API now *hint* - BCK via twhirl
Twhirl needs to put all these services in one window where I switch between them with tabs. - Alex P. via twhirl
I totally agree w/ the tab comment - having the 2 windows open gets cluttered. - Adam Bullied via twhirl
+1 tabs instead of windows - Wil
yeah single window with tabs would be nice ... well one can dream right? - JohnBfromMemphis via twhirl
cmon y'all let's give them some breathing room for making such terrific improvements already...not like i'm gonna code an update - Marc Vermut via twhirl

“will the 3G iphone do seesmic? that's be a good thing.”
June 9 at 12:22 pm - Link
It most definitely would be, but we can't assume the new iPhone will do Flash yet :-( - CannonGod
i think some fine details are being left out....like flash support, cut and paste etc... - Delete Me
I hope that's the case. Or those updates will be rolled out with the next firmware update *prays* - CannonGod
It would be playback only. There is no indication the new version will have video recording. - Kevin D. White
playback only would still be useful to listen to messages in your inbox as well as to catch the general conversations happening. - sean808080
the iphone wont do video im assuming you cant webcam. - Anthony

Twitter deactivates replies and archive tabs and API request to 10 per hour... I think I am going to hang out on Friendfeed for the time being...

FriendFeed's where it's at! - Akiva Moskovitz
Twitter is such a dissapointment. FriendFeed I love you ;) - David Jacobs via twhirl
I am mourning Twitter today - Rafe Needleman
twitter=lame - Morgan
Following my Twitter friends to Friendfeed. Twitter is becoming a case history in how not to succeed. - Howard Rheingold
Seems like FriendFeed is going be the killer app today - Christian Van Der Henst via twhirl
Twhirl is the killer app ! - Adrian via twhirl

I love Sliderocket. It's very different than PowerPoint and shows yet another way that work is changing thanks to the Internet. - Robert Scoble
Goodnight PowerPoint, Finally. Though I put it to sleep long ago... - terra210
Love Sliderocket! - Noah Carter
I want to check these guys out. - Hutch Carpenter
BTW Scoble. When I first read your posts it seemed too much like highschool: who is cool. Also seemed to define geek as male. Which felt strange to me. But this interview is great. Much success with your new endeavor. - terra210
terra210: yeah, sorry, sometimes I get pulled into the World Wide Highschool. :-) I do track who is cool, based on their products and services. Male vs. Female geeks are tough. I try to fight that, but truth is most people I come in contact with are guys, so sometimes I fall into that trap. Thanks for the kind wishes! - Robert Scoble
Robert. Thanks! Never knew about these guys. Looks veryinteresting. - Lon via twhirl
Awesome, AWESOME interview Robert. SlideRocket was the missing link to my online office suite software mix. Thanks for posting this piece. - Frederick Johnson
Definitely looks worthy of consideration for integrating into site-good point. - Mark Forman
check out Zoho Show 2.0. Prrrrrretty. - john conroy
Nice interview. Robert - you get them talking, then get out of the way (as it should be). Easier said than done! - Noah Carter
John: I'm definitely going back to Zoho. Would love to see a comparison of that to Sliderocket. Sliderocket sure has a nice interface. Going to be tough for Zoho to beat that. - Robert Scoble
Although.. the twistage player needs a parameter to stop autoplay. Annoying. - ∵JPGlockner∴
J. Phil: I'll work on that. Agree. - Robert Scoble
It looks like their hoping to be bought out by Adobe, much like with BuzzWord. - CannonGod via twhirl
Jake: If Adobe were smart they'd buy this ASAP. - Robert Scoble
very nice product, i think the linking feature will definat2ely make it very valuable for business. - Nailed Jello
how do I get a beta for my company? - ChangeForge | Ken Stewart via twhirl
finely, someone is showing of FLEX, But Powerpoint with sharepoint can do many of the stuff around keeping slides up to date and sharing data.... they just made it easy to access which is Microsoft biggest problem. - Rif Kiamil
great demo! - Burak Arikan
waiting for my invite .... have several presentations in the following weeks, would be interesting to check it in real life - Naor
Great demo, can't wait to try it out! - Aaron Myers
This looks fantastic. - Ralph Whitbeck
Not just an interesting product, but the way he handled the demo was very good. - Jed White
Can Sliderocket import existing PPT files? I'd love to be able to bootstrap Sliderocket with the slides from my existing library of PPT slides. - Tom Wentworth
That's amazing!! I will definitely start using it for my Medical Group presentations and break-the-mold of our boring PP slides. - Joe Cook
fastcompany.tv is down, Sliderocket looks great, going to pass that on to my friend who's an organiser of top medical conferences, she hates PPT! - Dave Pook
@Tom: From what they discussed in the interview, I believe so. - CannonGod
@Tom: Yes it can import PPT, but no export yet. So you need a working internet connection for your presentation or their offline player (adobe air). - Benedikt Koehler

I think a monologue usually has an intended audience. A soliloquy is usually just one talking to one's self, to wit: O, that this too permanent comment would thaw, melt, and resolve itself into a dew! Or that engines of search had not fix'd their canon against cache purge! O God! O God! How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this social network. - Karim
(takes bow) thank you, thank you. (bows) - Karim
