Doesn't suck... needs improvement. - Daniel Zarick

254 more comments

No auto-refresh when you pause the site - Outsanity

No. It's a bit painful at first, but it's useful, clean, and beats Twitter. - Jason Nunnelley

1. Better design/colors/layout - Daniel Zarick

It's wicked! - Ewan MacLeod

I rather like it. - Michael McKean

argh. I just train a company yesterday on FF. Now I have to redo it... :) - gluca - [mini]marketing

FriendFeed is cool. Wondering why bots are not in here yet! Lot of services around Twitter, but not many for FriendFeed! > - Kannan from email

Like it more than twitter... desktop pop-up is great. - Joshua

I like it, def better than twitter - Jan Zimak

I think its great!! - Danli

The colors are nice. - Rishi Talreja

It has a higher learning curve than the old friendfeed - Tony C

Powerful search tools and the bookmarklet update is awesome - Peter Kelley

didn't begin using friendfeed on a daily basis until the changes were initially implemented in beta...so in other words i am a fan - Jeffrey Marsh

Hehehe. I did this too, bringing some colleagues to do some discussions in 'rooms' - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,

I like it, seems more intuitive. But then I also liked the new Facebook. - Bob Morris (polizeros)

Scoble trolling? - Chris Poulson

Yes, I will be using FriendFeed less. No more rooms, no distinction between my comments and likes. Also a little bit too frenetic. - Baard @ Pixum

beta is better than first iteration. cleaner ux. however value prop of friendfeed over twitter is still unclear - Sean Scott

Just showed it to a pal. He says awesome programming - Nitin Nanivadekar

It doesn't suck at all. Maybe it takes some time for you to get used to it, but once you do, it's great. - Diego Espinoza V.

I've seen lots of mention of the learning curve--to me, this has been a duck to water experience. Seems sensible, flexible, fluid. - Kathy Fitch

I think we covered it pretty well in the new CobWeb podcast from The Cynical Bastards http://www.shootingatbubbles.com/index... - Steven Hodson

when I am commenting, I can still see "real time" like or comment by other people, I think it rocks! - K.D.

I miss the time updates on the rooms, and I don't like the color scheme... Also don't really like the real time view and keep it paused. I do like DMs however... that's the best new feature. - Fa La La La Lindsay

i like it ! - patrick

doesn't suck at all..guys at friendfeed have done a real good job..keep it up guys - Arvind

The old colour scheme was better in that it was clearer and gave the impression of a weight and richness. Now FF looks like a cheap blog. Sorry guys - Dan Stuart

The color scheme is a little gaudy and the "look" inelegant. Like going from a Mac desktop to Windows. It's still perfectly functional. Just not as comfortable being here. - Jeff Guin

I use FF more then Twitter and Facebook combined and this is only my first week on FF - Frank Sant'Agata

grey for a background… so pathetic. Imaginary friends added in a really cool way to a mental model of friendfeed, now gone. - Manila Envelope

more like twitter now - Wei Xia

Just imagine if this was on Facebook. All the hundreds of millions of clumsy Facebook users would start hundreds of thousands of hate groups. Since FriendFeed is mostly geeks & early adopters, they are more open to change. Once this thing hits the mainstream, this sort of innovation on the UI will be impossible to implement. - Ben Ackles

That's it? No one else thinks friendfeed sucks? Come on now. Facebook changes and everyone is up in arms. - Robert Scoble

Wait a couple of hours and this comment thread will be quite long and unreadable... Thats something i dont like about friendfeed... - Jeethu Karthik

socialcoop: maybe Arrington is right and no one is using friendfeed. - Robert Scoble

Since it 'pulls-in' so much content...well, that's kind of like sucking--but I guess the old one did that too. The new FF is better--I used th RT mode in the old one too. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Maybe that's because facebook's changes actually sucked - Keith Barrett

But facebook is used by people that don't understand why the internet changes. They are used to desktop software, not web applications. Facebook is the first true webapp most of those users have used. - Daniel Zarick

Still up for debate. - David Cohn

@Robert the replies are coming in and getting buried just as fast - there are some who aren't liking it - Steven Hodson

We can see the stream and the person who did it, but it's hard to see where it comes from(twitter, blog,..). In the old version, there was an icon to see it but it has disppeared. (sorry for my poor english, I'm french...) - tristan

Hard to tell - because I just hate change. I'm not a fan of being able to see LESS about who is posting and what they're posting with. - Ciaoenrico

Remember, it's 2am on the East Coast now, Robert. Even _I'm_ about to hit the hay. *grin* - Ken Kennedy

I'm still annoyed that FF offers no option for the real-time displays to show newest post at top - Keith Barrett

I've been using the beta all along, and even with all of the lists I've set up, I find I'm looking at the main feed/lists less than I used to. That's my only real negative. Saved filters are wonderful, and embedding is sometimes useful. - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo

Baard Overgaard Hansen: We still have rooms, they're called Groups now. And for me, the comments and likes links at the top of my profile page distinguishes them quite well. - Sharon McPherson

Only complaint is that I wish it was easier to see where any given piece of information came from. - Angus Burton

people having conversations is so over. what does burger king have to say about this? - Alex C. Williams

No, it's sweet. It's my favorite thing right now, its the coolest thing on the internets. It runs so smoothly too. - Stephen Pickering

no complaints. works for me - Jim Goldstein

welcome to the real world,it sucks but you will like ti,^_^ - 阿石

I much prefer it. - Jamie

There's gonna be some pushback on this one. I've gotten used to it because I switched to the beta over a month ago. I've almost forgotten what the other layout looked like. To those complaining about not being able to see the source service the posts come from. I think that's the point; don't leave here, it doesn't matter where it came from, discuss it here. :) - Adam Turetzky

Was just learning the old but between being able to use rooms/groups and auto-updating of comments in a thread, I like it. - Jim Espinoza

Hate the new FF. Hate the lack of icons for other services. And though I haven't dug around yet (hint! I shouldn't have to!), I can't seem to find a way to parse out different services (ie, just look at Last.fm imports from my friends, or pull out the "internal" RSS feed for content I've personally entered into FF). And right now I'm annoyed by new comments popping onto this page while I'm typing. - Kevin Hessel

Kevin, thereis a Pause button at top right of the column to deal with your annoyance. - Jim Espinoza

Just want "Best of" for my friends list then all will be fine again. It was in the beta, right? - Dominic Jones

Jim, I'm on the unique link (http://friendfeed.com/scoblei...), not on the base FriendFeed page. There's no pause button here that I can see. - Kevin Hessel

i will probably appreciate new functionalities when using them, but i definitely miss the old look'n'feel, looks very much like twitter now, has lost "personality" - Adriana Ripandelli

Ah, I learn something new too. Thanks, Kevin - Jim Espinoza

Looks ugly but an improvement over old version. Workflow on new version is a step back than before. Seems untested and unfinished. I'm seriously looking for something better now. - Chris Nixon from BuddyFeed

the gray background is ugly - Peter Warnock

Just 4 things I'd like to see implemented. First, as mentioned above, a pause button - comment link placed under the last entry so we don't have to scroll all the way back to the top on long posts to enter comments - the ability to send Retweets, and make posts sticky. - Sharon McPherson

Another thing, new FF appears to have been designed for those like you with lots of followers. Most of us hardly ever get comments, likes etc. So it's great for the A-list, but shitty for the rest of us. That might change if more people join. - Dominic Jones

I can't say anything about the new features because I'm too annoyed to look at them. The layout and theme sure sucks though. I thought I clicked onto my twitter page by mistake. Now I need to find TweetDeck for FriendFeed and avoid the web page like the plague to make it tolerable, just like twitter. Why don't they narrow this column down a few more inches - there's really like so much more space they could be wasting. Why only waste 40% of the page? - Christopher Brocious

not at all intuitive... user interface get a grand 2/10.... if that is fixed, could be fantastic... the concept of real time (even though its simulated, as its still doing "pulls" from the browser rather than "pushes" to the browser) is great, the data itself is rich, but it should focus on either being an aggregator, or syndicator... trying to be both is misadventerous. - simran

Sharon--click on the time stamp to pop the thing into a new window. Puts the comment box on the bottom, and allows new comments to scroll in without disrupting your writing. - Kathy Fitch

Whoa, thank you Kathy! - Sharon McPherson

Nope, it doesn't. It's just different. I'm not getting why people hate it. - Hubert Taler

You're welcome! ;-) (Oh, and isn't that cool? I love it.) - Kathy Fitch

Dave Winer hates it, by the way: http://friendfeed.com/davew... - Robert Scoble

FriendFeed is no longer focused on connecting individual services, it's blending them and that's wrong. Aesthetically it's spiraling and that matters too. - Andrew Smith

I say this: 30% doesn't sucks, 70% sucks :P - Kristian Salonen

Define "sucks" - Jack Humphrey

I have yet to fully realize the new features which I'm sure are tremendous. From a UI perspective--design wise? It is very, what I can only describe as, 'early BlogSpot'. It's pretty hard on the eyes and that's the absolute most diplomatic way I can say it. I'll be sticking with the previous incarnation(http://friendfeed.com/realtime) and the real-time pop-out window(http://friendfeed.com/realtim...). - Gregg Scott

Almost forgot, please FF, give administrators the ability to delete groups. - Sharon McPherson

I dont like this friendfeed! I want my old and sweety FF! Return my FF, plz...! - Exir

Agree with Sharon - how do you delete groups? - Liviu Lica

what sucks about friendfeed is that all people talk about on it is friendfeed or other meta issues. also too many buttons to press to distract. No ecosystem of desktop apps. I am sure its a useful utility for pros like scoble, but for everyone else, twitter is ideal, your mum can understand it. - Michael Neale

Too much like facebook and twitter. I come here for news and great discussion not status updates of people I don't know, unfortunately, all my friends are on facebook. - Andrew Royer

Michael: all the "normal" people in my life are on facebook which is more complex than either Twitter or friendfeed. By the way, Facebook adds more people every month than are even on Twitter. So your thesis is TOTALLY WRONG. Users CAN put up with a LOT of complexity. Try again. - Robert Scoble

fine tuning and control on real time flow is missing. - Ouriel Ohayon

I miss the additional features of the old UI for posting. You had separate fields to add links, photos, comments as well as the text of the post. How do you add text and a link now? - Mark Krynsky

FB is daunting, I think. I just hate having to wrestle the danged thing to the ground every time I try to use it. This seems to me to be simple, flexible, fluid, nimble. - Kathy Fitch

I just did: http://ff.im/2sTvr and there is more, I goes too fast now, It looks like a blog, and friendfeed is not a blog... and I don't like it at all... - Aline

Too little content on to much space, I only have a 13inch screen. FAIL - Gerard van Schip

I think it is far away from suck, yes it needs a bit more tweak. But I think its great and more useful than Twitter. - MoRiza

*HIDE* - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I would like to see the words subscriptions/subscribers dropped from the profile pages and use friends/followers instead.. - Arvind

Why is everybody taking about Twitter? The question is do you think the new FF sucks? And that anser is YES! - Aline

because of a twitter-like interface, even if in realtime - Nicola Junior Vitto

But you can not compare Twitter and FF, that are two realy diffrent things... - Aline

avatar pictures instead of service pictures. this is getting too social for my reading habbits :) and also, text used to span all over the page now it's trapped in the middle. why. my sides of the screen are upset :) - Dani Radu

There's very little "twitter-like" other than the use of avatars to bring the focus to people rather than services. And here I thought FF was all about the people to begin with... - Kevin Kuphal

Hmm. Maybe I'm unperturbed because I've been using the beta from the get-go. - Kathy Fitch

Thats it! The absence of service icons to ID my stream, thats the only sucky part. - MoRiza

You'll get used to "from Twitter" under the post in very short order, people. - Kevin Kuphal

Design is okay, but interface is broken (I've made a detailed list a couple of weeks ago — http://friendfeed.com/friendf...). Here's why: - Juras Vetrau

1) It's now harder and longer to read. First, all posts look the same because of service icons absence — it was needed for visual filtering of the posts. Then, post header are now come in two parts — text and link (it means more text, more clutter, harder to click — every link begins in it's own place). Third, only one comment in a collapsed discussions — you can't see answer-question pair, just an answer. - Juras Vetrau

I did not use the Beta, because it would like to see Icons, and I like to see alle services anyone uses, now I have to click my way troug FF, and when I want to read something, it goes very fast... - Aline

2) It's hard to use FriendFeed as an RSS reader now. Imaginary friends are totally broken. You can still create a private group, but it's inconvinient, it's separates old and new IFs in two lists (subscriptions and groups). I've used FrF as an RSS reader in the first place. - Juras Vetrau

3) It's impossible to use FrF as a browser of your aggregated content — no more filters by service in user's profile. It was very useful for sites with no proper bookmarks system (Vimeo, SlidShare, YouTube etc). - Juras Vetrau

@Kevin, FF is all about people. But people are not avatars (yet). We are what we share online, and untill real avatar interaction - we share via services. That's why imho it makes more sense to use service icons then static avatar pics. - Dani Radu

Naw...tis just different and back to the firehose. :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

Only thing I don't love is the "more" dealie. Harumph. I'm wordy, I confess it. No need to rub my face in it, FF. Makes me feel scolded every time. <wry grin> - Kathy Fitch

Someone on seesmic who thinks new seesmic sucks http://new.seesmic.com/threads... , I think he's right about imaginary friends but we can still create groups or rooms. - tristan

I don't hate it, I don't like it either, it looks much alike the HTML kiddies designs of 10 years ago. - Amit Morson

I used to filter the content by its source (like http://friendfeed.com/balau...), now it's broken.Apart from that, new FF seems a step in the right direction. - Francesco Balducci

Here's a link to some Greasemonkey scripts for the new FF http://userscripts.org/scripts... Of note is the one that adds service icons to entries. - Mark Krynsky

Cool, Mark, thanks. - Kathy Fitch

I like the concept, but not the look. At least the horrid gray should go. - Johan Aulin

Sing for Absolution: Please let people use the old version of friendfeed via a sub domain address like old.friendfeed.com. We do prefer to use the old version instead of the new. This new version does not match the low speed connections and users with so much subscriptions. Thank you friends. http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Exir

@ Exir, Yes that's a great Idea... :D - Aline

Just a tweak to what Mark (hey, Mr Krynsky!) pointed out: some FF scripts don't have the word "beta" in the name, so http://userscripts.org/scripts... will show more (non of mine http://userscripts.org/users... use the term beta, but most are designed for the beta/live-as-of-today features). Oh, and the add service icons script is here: http://userscripts.org/scripts... - Micah Wittman

Thanks for the clarification and more details Micah...Many of the older scripts may not work on the new site and that's why I filtered to 'beta'. - Mark Krynsky

Why oh why did they feel the need to become *more* like twitter?!?!? - Scott Gould

Good point, Mark. Another tip is to sort by clicking the "Last Updated" link to look at everything that's been updated since beta-to-live (April 29 or later). - Micah Wittman

New features have negative suck. Layout has small amount of suck - seems less information dense than old layout, with right side space lost to navigation stuff. - David Lounsbury

takes some getting used to. i've gotten more subscribers since this change than in all the time i've been on FF. - Alensa

I could like it more if only they could move all the Twitter members over here. :) - Ed Grant

It's aight.. I can't see how to collapse FF down to see JUST delicious links or JUST Digg links from a specific user or group by clicking on the feed icon. Maybe I still can but I don't see how. - Jesse Newhart

Yeah there is definitelly less on the screen. More difficult to scan. Is the font size larger. Did they get a coder to design it rather than an interface designer. - Chris Nixon from BuddyFeed

i think it's great but may need a bit of work on the actual design. also scoble==totally trolling for a big discussion! - Snipergirl

I simply want my old FF back... I have the feeling that I use my mobile phone with so much simplicity... - philos

Bring back imaginary friends!!! the greatest FrF appeal for me was ability to consolidate of all online relationships. Some of these contacts eventually convert and become FrF users, some will never covert and following them via imaginary friend is essential for me. - Maхx Tee

Everything I liked at FF, is now gone... :( - Aline

Strange. The impression is we had lots of features and now almost of things are gone. Strange. It definitely needs UX improvements. - Tiago Vieira

It's good but still had a whole of work to be done to it, as I've stated here: http://friendfeed.com/search... :-) - Kol Tregaskes

The effect each medium has on the human sensorium vary with the medium. This medium will change our way to use it. The New FF completely change the way we use it. This is another tool: more LIVE, more confused, more dispersive. I love the old FF for the ability to create conversation in a simple way. Now the coversation is absolutly disordered because I can't control how to enjoy the conversations. Good attempt ... to create something different. - Giovanni Calia

the old FF interface was much better, why is gone the support for icons for feeds? This was a better way to recognize on what channel was generated!! Is not possible to have both Interfaces???? - Dan Romescu

i dont care! - auburn

Quite the opposite - Michael McGimpsey

It's great.. but seriously miss the icons that indicate the source of the message... e.g. how to easily filter out all blogposts - Aad 't Hart

I woudl show them your post about ugly design. Visually I liked the previous interface, not beautiful but personal. This one with rounded corners and wide borders looks like a default theme. I read beta on a nokia and it is not bad, but I would stay very very simple. Content is king. - Michele Costabile

Friendfeed's new look gives me a perfect antidote to Twitter and I appreciate that, thanksverymuch. - Bernie Goldbach

who cares, friendfeed could be the future. I've known ever since Scoble's Twitter told me so. - Kemp Edmonds from twhirl

it seems a Wordpress comments management :-| - Daniele Di Gregorio

totally sucks. the old version was way better than this. - Gökberk Can

agree re the need to bring back imaginary friends. - Matt Hooper

The new FF is ok, kinda ugly, but ok. I still need to get used to it. - Shawn Hickman

It doesn't suck at all! I like it! Only want a customizable background please - Annette Schwindt

too much wasted white space. The old version was much more compact (and BTW it let us immediately see where the original news was posted). Is it really so difficult to redesign friendfeed so that we can choose the stylesheet we prefer to display our feed? - .mau.

+1 for .mau. even gmail (the most powerful terse interface I know of) has themes. Gmail is my web 2.0 style guide. - Michele Costabile

there's a lot of comments, and we still didn't reach the goldwin point. Maybe, there's not a of people on FF, but people on FF seem to be smarter than the others ;) - tristan

+1 Service icon not being present irritates me at so many levels - Swaroop

briefly: cool features, wrong interface. as someone already said: it looks like a cheap blog; it doesn't have any kind of personality, sorry. - ced

just used it for the first time and I have to agree with ced, right format weak design, - Kemp Edmonds from twhirl

My guess is the look remains simplified in because FF will allow it to be customized like Twitter backgrounds, but something that would be ideally more functional than just form. As far as user friendliness it is fairly easy to manage, but I have had the luxury of not having thousands of subscriptions, once I jumped on board and the beta began shortly after I avoided aggregating too many subs, I might be annoyed if I had used it for a year and was driving merrily on the road. - Patrick Boegel

the new version doesn't suck :-D but not having the old version around still kinda does :-/ re:themes if we have to have them, can they be 'me only' themes or can i tick a box saying 'hide all user themes' ;-) - immaterial

It's a vast improvement from the previous site, but it needs some work still. Threaded comments and date/time stamp on comments please! - Bob Blunk

please keep it light and simple! no threaded comments! - Maхx Tee

I liked the fact that you could see images before. Also the gray background, could be nicer. - Avi A

i don't like the gray background, I think kills readability. Other than that, it's huge. And hope it's going to be much more so. - dario

Come on..you can use also Fftogo!!! http://fftogo.com - Dario Salvelli from fftogo

and, with a giant IMHO, service icons are *not* the point. Once you hit publish, wherever you do, it's "out there", out there (or as good a representation of it you want it to be) being FF, I like this side of it the most. - dario

hated the beta at first, but for some reason I kept using it and now I really like it. not perfect, but better. - Robert DeBord

The new FriendFeed rocks for the pure fact that I am commenting on this post through email! - Kevin Whalen from email

Ugh... Why do these sites have to try and be like Facebook? FriendFeed was a great tool for me to aggregate all of NAPP's feeds and share them on Twitter at a glance. Now I can't tell what's coming from what feed. ((sigh)) - Photoshop User

Dario, thank you! Fftogo is so much better than this Twitter wannabe, space wasting, regressive disaster of a UX. - Christopher Brocious

next point of order: Being ahead of your user base: good or bad? - dario

Overall, it's good. Biggest complaint: Bring back imaginary friends! Private Groups are for something else entirely. Also, what do I do about my existing imaginary friends? How do I delete them if they happen to join FriendFeed? Would that be different if I made a private group with their name? All kinds of questions there! - Don Faulkner

Bring back imaginary friends - otherwise FF is useless for me. A load of my friends just won't spend the time setting up their FF accounts (no need for some of them they perhaps only have a small online footprint) so its back to monitoring shed loads of other sites ie. myspace, delicious, flickr, twitter, etc. etc. Otherwise its great - significantly better than before! - Angus Neil

I can't post through the bookmarklet to my groups. I was very dependent on this feature, and It doesn't work anymore.. Fix IT! - Joe Spake

i think user experience isn't much more better.. - toLga aRıcan

Thank you for calling the Official FriendFeed Helpline, brought to you by Robert Scoble. Leave your message after the beep. BEEP - Mike Nayyar

Joe Spake: You can still use the bookmarklet to post to groups, just takes a few more steps. Click the X to remove your feed, enter the first letter or 2 of the name of the group(s) you want to post to, then choose the group from those you'll see listed. - Sharon McPherson

The commenting here has no formatting so I made this .txt file: http://dazetheory.com/scripts... - Joshua Hatfield

I dig the new UI....then again, I really didn't like the old UI. However, like some have mentioned, I do miss the ability to easy filter on the service (i.e. native FF, Last.fm/Pandora, Flickr, etc). I also miss the ability to see User+Friends out of a user's profile. Being pretty new to the service, it was cool to see the stream of other people I found interesting. - mark

Actually, now that I've used it a little, one thing I HATE is that I can see the number of subscribers and subscriptions anybody has. This is what's wrong with Twitter, as it makes it less about socializing and more about winning at a Ponzi scheme. I'd hate to see that kind of pessimism come over to FriendFeed. - Ciaoenrico

hate the colors - Sarah Perez

Doesn't suck, just agree with Daniel: "Better design/colors/layout" please - Christopher Galtenberg

Ask this again in a few weeks. I started as an immediate hater thinking I would stop using if it continued but it quickly grew on me. I suspect there will be fewer haters then (of course this wait period may provide a self fulfilling wish -- those that really don't like it may leave by then). - Brian Sullivan

No, it doesn't. Those new to it should use it for a few days and then see how they feel. - AJ Kohn

I'm still undecided. I still think real time makes it harder for me to find new and interesting contacts and get noticed by other people. - Kevin Pedraja

Sucks - not usable at work any more because it's so obvious. Plus I'm losing conversations. Give us an option to keep the old interface! - Victor Ryden

It's funny, I didn't even realize that I had even gone over to the regular FF. I didn't start really using FF until the beta, despite having an account for quite some time, so I've been used to the beta. - Aaron Kurtz from IM

Not for me. I used Real-Time all the time in the old version. The only things are A. the mini window is lacking B. The pause button doesn't work like the original pause button so I still feel like I miss stuff when I leave my computer C. The amounts of clicks it takes to do something is a little too much Ex: Refreshing a feed Other than that, I don't see anything wrong with it - Shevonne

Just need a good desktop app to be able to run vertical stream. Or I need 5 screens. I tried AlertThingy yesterday but it's only one pipe. Ultimately, I think a good micro-blog app needs to deliver a mix chosen streams and of organic news which you may not run into via traditional streams - Yann Ropars

Good but lake of filters to remove a source from a view and lake of icons that show from where the entry is (RSS, twitter, ...) - Severin

Don't care for the layout (have to scroll too much to use saved searches), update rate and opening links awkward, seems like features missing, colors not so much. Is beta.FF my default FF anyway? Yes. - Loren Heiny

It sucks. This is a cramped primary-color room. Cramped, dumbed-down, isolating. Hate it - where is the wide-open white that is the FF I know and like? More to the point, what has been achieved by changing it? - david

Meh. I like the readability in general - but for comments it's hard to scroll without going too far (on posts like this with a billion comments. I also miss the buttons for Twitter/blog/etc. - Tabz

I just like to say things suck in general - Athensganews

Apart from the excellent points raised by everyone here, I'd like to add that FriendFeed now makes Firefox3 consume much more CPU and and makes my laptop's fan run faster too, thereby reducing battery charge too fast. Please bring back the old energy-efficient FF!. It's all a blur now! - Siddharth Deb

Like the new features but the look is blah. - Jessica Lee

I was still struggling to learn how to use the previous incarnation, so this change has thrown me a little. But as I was unsure of what I was doing anyway, it's not changed my perception much. Yet. - 5corpion

I hate the color and overall look/feel of the UI. If I was tech savvy enough, I would try to install the cleaner ff greasemonkey script for chrome... but I'm not. May try anything. But I find the new colors and spacing annoying. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)

I love it... beta is LIVE :) - Susan Beebe

I like it actually. Layout is great. - fbrunel

I don't think the new FF sucks, but I wish they hadn't diluted the imaginary friend feature because I just wrote a post extolling its virtues. - Karoli

Since every post, like this one for that matter, becomes quicky a chat room, I say I hate reading comments in gray! I also would like to be able to close the comments I opened. Be simples, give me helvetica and black, say hello to round corners and margins. Do not waste one quarter of the screen for a short sidebar, maybe put commands at top and content on two columns. - Michele Costabile

it's hard to differentiate between the different services now. It all looks the same. - richrecruiter

I installed the greasemonkey script recommended by Micah which enables me to see both the avatars and service icons - http://userscripts.org/scripts... Double the pleasure, double the fun. - Sharon McPherson

I think its Sexy. I am thinking it's cooler, as far as appearance and users, than Twitter. - ZuDfunck

Sharon, Micah - thanks so much for the greasemonkey script link. Friendfeed without the services icons was really starting to bug me. I hope Friendfeed brings service icons back to the stream as well as imaginary friends. Taking away features = bad. I don't mind the beta but Friendfeed should integrate previously available features into it IMHO. - Jesse Newhart

I like the new look, would like to customize the way it updates, move newest commented topics up. - James Rowe

right James, new comments shud stack upwards...not at bottom. wat say Scoble? - Roshan Ramachandran

New comments at the bottom is ever so much nicer for archives, though. Makes it easier to scan the conversation after the fact, to catch up on a long one late in the game, and to catch the flow at a glance. - Kathy Fitch

It seems a bad and old Wordpress theme. - Gianluca Neri

FoaF hiding doesn't seem to be working the way it used to... http://friendfeed.com/kenzoid... - Ken Kennedy

Ken, nice point. - Ahmet Alp Balkan

Kathy: FF being realtime service, updates are easier to read as they "drop in"...specially when you are watching a discussion in separate window, where comments are not collapsed like here. To read an archive, doesnt matter u read upwards or downwards...sequence will always be there...IMO. - Roshan Ramachandran

No, the new Friendfeed works for me. But then, I watched the launch videos and participated in one of the those Scoble Salons that pop up here. Without those learning aids, I probably would be disoriented here, at least for a while. And that's one of the problems with Friendfeed attracting new users: it's powerful, but it's not really that simple. - Tom Landini

but ya...then the comment box also need to move to top :) - Roshan Ramachandran

I have never used FF as much, as I have since the new beta - Props to the FF team!! - Jim Connolly

Love the new FF except for when you hover over a DP it only shows max 5 services and has a "more >>" link. Wish FF showed all of the services on hover still. - Garin Kilpatrick

The new FF has become.. Twitter. I used it as a different service: to gather all my feeds. Now next to my avatar only 4 icons are shown! More, next to each entry it doesn't appear anymore the logo of each service (fb, twit,...). FF is now like an RSS reader, but definitely less funnier, so boring, so similar to twitter (which I like anyway). Another great social network is dead :( - marilena

@marilena has pinpointed my biggest complaint. "next to my avatar only 4 icons are shown" I like the real time feed for most things.However I have a private / business related feed which has now lost almost all utility. Custom RSS feeds run off the screen when you hit add/edit and there is no way. I have found to utilize this data in it's present format. It is now more useful in a feed reader. - Eric Logan

Bring back imaginary friends! - Mark Chandler

I do love the real-time web stuff though. - Mark Chandler

Yeah, it's not much of an improvement. I liked the "people you find interesting" and "people who find you interesting". It was interesting to see who thought I was interesting... interesting. It was nice to see who was subscribed to my feed. - t i n y m

I like it lots. Twitter is down half the time. - tojfs7931

It's good. The only things missing are the source icons... It's always good to know where the content came from - Mirco

Alright guys, I made a Greasemonkey script: http://dazetheory.com/scripts... I'm not the popular one on here, but I couldn't take the background any longer so I fixed it. Screenshot: http://dazetheory.com/scripts... (Share this!!!) - Joshua Hatfield

1. I would like a widescreen option, now it is just wasting space for long texts, 2 how can I see e.g. all my posts from one of my feeds, only, e.g. only the linkedin feed? This function was great, now I can not find it back. - joergkurtwegner

@joergkurtwegner: go to your feed and type in the search field "service:linkedin" - Alejandro

I like the way FF keeps changing and keeping everyone on their toes. Don't think the wide screen ideas would work if that would mean widening the column of text - it isn't comfortable to read wide text columns. Louis wrote the other day that sites/software should be kept simple. I like the ones that are simple on the surface, but slowly reveal their features - that's the way it is for me with gmail. The a-ha! experience. - howard shippin

I just think the "pop up" link should be more obvious. - Stanislas Jourdan

You could use ◥ for clarifying the entry "pop-up" link. At least temporarily: the pop-up link is the time stamp in Twitter, too; who doesn't use/know Twitter? - Jérôme Flipo

@Jérôme : ?? (it's not really for me, i'm used to the current link location) - Stanislas Jourdan

@Stan, You = FF team :) I read lots of complaints about this "hidden" link. I can't find an easy way to make it obvious. The mouse-over idea they tested few days ago wasn't well accepted. Addind a "link" link would take some unnecessary space, etc. The UTF character in "16 hours ago ◥" , as ugly as it may be, could shows that the timestamp is popable. This character or another (the Gmail chat pop-up icon would be far prettier). - Jérôme Flipo

Ok Jérome! That's a nice idea ! - Stanislas Jourdan

The new friendfeed is great - Joe Azzara

It looks a little better, but I still don't get it. It introduces more noise and is really weak in the filtration department. - Brian

I think the main feed area looks better, but the side areas are wasted. The things that niggle me the most are: the rows are (1) too close together in the lists of feeds etc on the right hand side (and i don't like the font) and (2) The Me Feed has gone. That was a really quick, handy way of checking whether i'd already posted something on a topic. - Eyoki

side bar is a bit wasted.. but like the overall feel of this better :) - Rachael Depp

It's taking time to readjust, but I'm liking it. I like the real time updates, I like the layout (couldn't give a fig if the graphics are 'sooooo 1990s' as I saw one comment. It does what I want - it aggregates and distributes my social networking life. It does what it promises. I just hope FF doesn't become distracted by bolting more bells and whistles on eg personally couldn't give a toss about the new email function. - David Eedle

OH, God I hate it. If the changes were optional, if I could pick and choose which ones to enable, that would be one thing. I am a recovered epileptic, and the constant scrolling and jumping on screen makes me QUEASY!! Ugh, I can't look at it, and I can't stay here if they don't give us a way to override it or stop it. I loved picking fave FF posts and tracking the whole conversation and linking back to it, but haven't figured out how to do that yet. - Patricia F. Anderson

having to scroll up through some 200+ comments in order to make a new comment is a royal PITA .. as for my final thoughts on the whole mess that is FF http://bit.ly/2F0fU - Steven Hodson

Found the pause button - thanks, folks. That is (shall we say) not intuitive? - Patricia F. Anderson

Robert, they might want to create an option for people who don't want to express there info on "how many people they follow/subscribe to" and "how many people follow/subscirbe to them". - Michael Forian

A big step backward. They removed features I rely on (imaginary friends, the feed icons), made the UI generally more obtuse, and failed to add any features I particularly want. Real time update is particularly awful: a nice gimmick for ~30 seconds, until you realize that in a feed with a slow update rate it makes no difference, and in a feed with a fast update rate it make the page unreadable, and forces you to pause the stream, putting you right back into non-real time, but with extra effort required. - David Gaw

give me icons please - Rubin

David: Hovering over slows down the stream ;) - Nicholas James

Rubin: Icons were removed to take the weighting off items i.e. Blog/FriendFeed item having more value then a Tweet for instance. - Nicholas James

joshua hatfield: I just installed the script for your background, definitely an improvement over the default gray. Thanks - Sharon McPherson

The name SUCKS. Really. Twitter wins hands down. Ever read Jack Trout on Positioning? - Nitin Nanivadekar

I just Wordled this thread to visualize the comments. http://www.wordle.net/gallery... - Andrew Smith

major suckage. to use a profession term. - michelle lamar

and where are all my friends? Can't see the friends. Grrr. - michelle lamar

michelle, do you have a friend list in place? if not, make one. (go to friends and start picking 'em out to put on the list...) - Karoli

Not working from FB feeds... Not mine... Not yet... - derek Bee

I think this thread sucks, OP and all 254 previous comments. - ianf ⌘

Old ff didn't suck & neither does the new - this thread alone provides a great example of why I love ff in ways I'll never love Twitter - Forrest Cox

@Forrest .. on that I do agree with you. - Steven Hodson

Absolutely NOT, it's better and most beautiful that before ,, keep THIS design up - FFTornado

The commenting scheme on FF is horrible, and this "thread" is a prime example of comments gone wrong. - Bob Blunk from Nambu

Yeah, kinda, because some things are harder or impossible for me to do now, but some things are way cooler. The concept of real time is important and I'm glad they're going for it. I'll deal. I'm here, aren't I? - Laura Norvig

I'm not using #FriendFeed so much now - without 'imginary friend' feature. Going back to Tweetdeck and others to group new twitter only follows - Julian Edward

it's really slick. - Aldrin Calimlim

I can't quite imagine reason that #imaginaryfriend taken out - unless friendfeed aiming to be alternative to twitter ? surely not. Universality suits friendfeed Perhaps it is to do with data volume and the marketing effectiveness of specific data flows. Would love to know more. In meantime I'm going back to Tweetdeck and looking for a web alternative to grouping twitter friends. - Julian Edward

well - Tweetdeck still too slow and unstable! Surprised by that after all this time. Seesmic a little slow too but beta. - Julian Edward

Poor layout, twitter-like, and I hate twitter - Daniele Severo

It's OK. I prefer the layout to the old FF but the old version felt more 'friendly'. Disagree about Twitter btw. I love it. Its simplicity, you could say its limitations are what i like about it. Sometimes FF overwhelms me and i when i log on feel like someone who's just arrived at some kind of high-powered party, i.e. an outsider. I never get that with Twitter: it always feels like 'mine'. - Eyoki
