Although I am still getting this "Echo effect" from only subscribing to people in the same niche.

Scoble, I've totally abandoned all readers and news aggregators. Friendfeed is my source for info now. I'm trying to subscribe to a diverse selection of people from all over the world (any tips for this?). I wish it were easy to see where someone lives (at least the country/state/province). The human-edited web at scale, here we come.

FriendFeed has never gone down. Or even gotten slow. It's like the guys who started it worked at Google or something. Oh, wait, that's right, they did.

@Scolbe: Watch it Robert, or you're going to jinx it.
- David Bisset
Twitter out here, also. Good thing, because I have to get some work done. Hoohoo.

I didn't know about this until I saw this message. I tried going to m.twitter.com on my phone and got a 500 Internal Server Error. Didn't even get a birdie.

@Scoble do you want Jaiku invitation? it is more reliable than twitter and some time ago moved to Google's infra...
- A.T.
silpol I've been on Jaiku since the first days. I like FriendFeed a lot better.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, I'd love to see a demo of how you use FriendFeed - I keep trying to move over but just can't figure out a productive way to use it.
- Jesse Stay
@Scoble i wish FF gets sms mechanism for push one day, as twitter or jaiku
- A.T.
Jesse, I'm writing a blog post right now about one aspect: liking and commenting.
- Robert Scoble
I'm excited to see it - I'd also love to see how you browse your feeds. When do you use Twitter vs. Friendfeed, Reader, etc.?
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: I don't have a set routine. I watch FriendFeed the most, though. I also use Google Reader quite often, watch Twitter on either Twhirl or Google Talk or Tweetscan (not to mention FriendFeed), and still look at TechMeme too. I just posted the thing about listening on FriendFeed on my blog at http://scobleizer.com
- Robert Scoble
I've started watching both friendfeed and socialthing - playing with both trying to work out which best suits my needs. It is quite possible that both will, but it also means seeing duplication.
- Mick Adams
i watched frienfeed, socialthing, and twhirl and kept refreshing twitter. all this after working 12 hours. maybe i have a problem.

I hate to be a naysayer, but I've yet to find an online office suite that can come close to "business use." Little league rosters, yes. Production metrics for analysis, no.

Google Docs is the first app I think of when I need to dump thoughts into a file. Congrats to Zoho though.

"Friendfeed has the most momentum while Twhirl and others are scrambling to keep pace." Twhirl? That's a Twitter client, not an independent service.
- Alejandro
Twhirl is aggregating FF now, so it's becomming a 'portal' I guess - via FriendFeedMachine
- Scott Goldie
The thing is though, AlertThingy already combines FF and Twitter better

Alert Thingy is a horrible Twitter client still. Thus I stay with Twhirl.
