Sound off here if you are using friendfeed. Let's... - Alex Scoble

I only seem to use it when twitter is down. A better iPhone app might bring me around more often more "reader" like features (ie, let me add feeds and info that only I see like my google reader subscriptions and all of the tweets from my account on twitter) - Scott Watermasysk

Your a scoble.. I don't think you can help it. ;) But you back up your statements, allow others the chance to change your mind and not go off to a Ashram and sulk when people complain about you. ;) - CW™

I AM!! - Internet's Tad

w00t! - Adam Lasnik

You mean yesterday's news Arrington ??? Or today's embargo Arrington? - David HC Soul

I just read Arrington's post and commented via FriendFeed (not to make any philosophical point, but because I'm on an older mobile phone right now using fftogo). While I had some quibbles, the fact remains that there are far fewer FriendFeed users than there are Facebook users. Then again, there are far fewer Twitter users than Facebook users, so simplicity isn't everything... - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo

The word I heard him use was "nobody", not "fewer", "nobody"...Perhaps I'm wrong though...either way, I don't care. I find friendfeed to be eminently more entertaining and useful than Twitter or Facebook. - Alex Scoble

That's what schema-less SQL said. - Mitch

If Twitter closed tomorrow, my life would be the same, If FriendFeed closed I'd lose all of you... - Jamie Ginsberg

huzzah! - Nathan Chase

And far fewer Mahalo users than any of them *rimshot* - Michael W. May

bbq - AJ Batac

I would just give him this link to see what "nobody" looks like: http://beta.friendfeed.com/scoblei... - April Russo (app103)

I'm a nobody. - Jeremy Brooks

nothing to see here for nobody...move on people. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

I love friendfeed. - netvista

Go Friendfeed! - Edwin Khodabakchian

me too netvista3987 - Majento

and me - Richard Jones

I'm going with Scoble, and betting on this horse. This new UI is just a thing of beauty. This is how it should be. They're the ones who've found the Grail Castle. This is it right here. I'm just loving it. - Web Nex

Here. But off to bed soon. Back later. G'nite, FF. - Lisa L. Seifert

Love the new beta. Really nice job to Team FF! - Marc Chung

Who is this Arrington fellow? - Quasar

Wow, a whole ~120 people ... over 5 hours. I used to play on MUDs 10+ years ago with more simultaneous users. FF is 98% Scoble-hype noise, 2% RSS crawling. - Dossy Shiobara

@Dossy- your naivete is showing! - Bec Rowe @d0tski

@bec rowe - fine, I'll be generous, suppose there's a whole ORDER OF MAGNITUDE more users, 10x or 1,200 ... this is a big deal? Most major IRC networks each have 60k+ concurrent users and that's tech that's 15+ years old now. - Dossy Shiobara

??? - vijay

for such a "new and improved" UI, why do I have to scroll ALL the way back up to click the "comment" link? what, did none of the UX people think "gee, putting it at the bottom of the list of comments would be a good idea"? - Dossy Shiobara

seriously, people, stop being sheep. FF is cute but it's a pet rock. - Dossy Shiobara

uh, no Dossy. - Josh Haley

Dossy - I'm not sure if that was a joke or sarcastic comment or not, but just in case it wasn't...I strongly disagree. - Justin Korn

Well to be fair, I know my real life friends would never understand FF -- especially the filters. It's too much effort to set up. - Mona Nomura

Mona - I agree with that statement, but still disagree with Dossy. - Justin Korn

@Mona Ditto. But I don't come here for RL friends. I come here to connect with people like me. - Bec Rowe @d0tski

Arrington is a stupid. - Wo

Exactly -- I come here to escape from Facebook and when I want more conversation than Twitter :) Sheep we are not. ;) - Mona Nomura

I have 3 tabs locked into the first three positions of my always-open Firefox window: Google Reader, Gmail and you guessed it... FriendFeed. - Brooks Bishop

I am using FF because it's awesome. - Aaron Hood from BuddyFeed

Obviously using FF Beta right now - Arnold Zafra

All the time! FF Beta at the moment. - Anton

From out the Blu, I am. - Benjamin

What's a Michael Arrington? - Pete Delucchi

Nothing much, something Europe doesn't care for ;-) - Richard A.

*beep* - Lorenzo Strambi from twhirl

yes yes yes - Davide D'Incau

Sure, but as a casual user I don't see that much usefulness. Fun, yes. - Johan Mellberg from twhirl

I'm loving the new version. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Beta? Yes. Standard? Never used it. Barely got the hang of Twitter! - CAJ, somewhere else

Bring - It - Onnnnnnnnn! - Vicky

is arrogant arrington squirming yet??? - Rob Sellen :o)

Arrington sucks. An arrogant snob! - Ryo / Fuck Facebook

yo yo - Kelly W.

Here is to both platforms. Twitter for ease of use and Friendfeed for search and aggregation - Karen L Thompson from BuddyFeed

I'm on it! - Tracy Mendham

Nope, I'm not using friendfeed. Sorry to disappoint. - Aaron the Librarian

(like Horshack) "ooooh ooooh ooooh" - Bryan R. Adams

Absolutley! Great aggregator, but have to use Twirl or other app at work - Jonathan Decker from twhirl

Who the hell is Michael Arrington, and why should I give two tugs of a dead dog's cock what he thinks? - Steven Perez

damn you steven perez... speak ya mind for a change!!! ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Perez: Some meatbag with an overblown sense of self importance - Mo Kargas

Arrington is a Web 1.0 dinosaur trying to make himself relevant still by being Jerry Springer without the entertainment value. - Bob M. Montgomery from twhirl

love it - Brian Frank

Just to note: I know damn well who Arrington is. He's that meatsack whose website couldn't hold its load for a few hours. But I'm serious about not caring what he thinks. - Steven Perez

that's r scoble too mo... ooops I'll get bashed! :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

I am loving FF. - Nation Hahn

what's FF nation? where you hear about that? arringtons blog by any chance? - Rob Sellen :o)

Often quiet, but still here & loving FF. - ilene from twhirl

I use FriendFeed all the time. Rarely if ever read TechCrunch anymore. - Andy Roth

I use Friendfeed. Love it. Wish it was integrated into gwibber... but I think it will be soon. :) - Amy H.

What's TechCrunch? - Great Scott!

Jelly beans! - Bwana ☠

Nobody here but us chickens. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

bumpity bump.... - Rob Sellen :o)

um....... :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Huh? What?!? - Katie: Witch Of The West

I never use friendfeed and I'm never ever on it. I can't believe you'd accuse me of such a thing! - Jim Hearts FF

hey - Stanislas Jourdan

Something tells me he's not impressed yet. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

something tells me THIS proves how little he uses this place ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

That's OK, I get the sense that most people here couldn't care less. :) We use friendfeed because we like it, not because some A-Lister that doesn't even participate here thinks we should or shouldn't. - Alex Scoble

I agree.... :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

*comment deleted to keep up appearances that I'm a nice guy* - Michael W. May

Loves me some FriendFeed - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

Shouldn't this be on a TC post since all those comments will be sucked into the blog itself? - coldbrew

agreed alex, if you watch your brother's video of the pre-beta walk through from last weekend, mike was there, engaged and asked good questions of bret and paul, but then he goes off and belittles ff & those using it - immature or trollish not sure which it is... - mike "glemak" dunn

But Alex.. your bro is a supposed A-lister... - Rob Sellen :o)

dunn: Arrington is providing feedback. I'm sure team-FF can handle it. - coldbrew

yeah the feedback he provides is..."the worse way to use friendfeed" :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

My brother also participates here a lot, so when he says something is great or sucks here he has some authority...certainly a lot more authority on the subject than you know who. - Alex Scoble

drive by - I'm in - Rick Bucich

You'll notice TC's FF integration is one-way (i.e. FF>TC), not synch. - coldbrew

FF is the FFuture - Alan Cheslow

Who's Michael Arrington? ;-) - Kenton

I'm soaking in it. - Mark Dorgan

FriendFeed is the best social service; just too much for many people to handle...yet! - Neal Jansons

I do like FF - but it can be a lot to handle. - Bill Sodeman

yeah..... - Rob Sellen :o)

It doesn't get much better. Still here after a year. - David Cook from fftogo

i am and its soo much better. Tell mike the tech rumors are better here, too. - Roberto Bonini

my head hurts. || button is my friend - Todd Randolph

Right on Alex! To enhance what I said yesterday, FriendFeed is the "coolest app" to consume information on the Internet and interact with smart people. - Eric Berlin

I use FF! - Damond Nollan

ding dong. - Tobias W.

He's some dude who unwisely said that nobody uses friendfeed. - Alex Scoble

So much better than twitter! - Bo Stern

Nah, I never use FriendFeed. FriendFeed uses me! Don't ask. - Brad Butner from twhirl

*rolls eyes* Outlandish statements are how Arrington moves the space. It doesn't matter how the space moves, as long as it moves, then Arrington can remora off it. He doesn't care who wins or how his little bombs affect anyone, just as long as it moves somewhere. He's like a weapons dealer who foments the extension of wars so he can sell the weapons to both sides. - Matthew DeVries

It's Michael Arrington. His ego is the size of the Sun and is infinitely expanding like the universe. All I hear is "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah." - Zach Flauaus

Love the new FF - LeighaB

Go FF! - atanas

linky to another similar thread ... http://friendfeed.com/e... - Peter Dawson

My thread was first and my brother was just being a copycat. First! - Alex Scoble

Put both threads in a room, and similpost in both. The power of the exponent! - Matthew DeVries

yep, that Scoble is a copycat !! :)- - Peter Dawson

I think the only way to settle this is with a good old fashioned slap fight. Or a drinking contest... Either way we need video of it. - Joe Pierce

But I said "First!" That's the internet beat down right there. - Alex Scoble

more comments than likes? how can that be... you commenter's who have yet to like...like.. and those who have yet comment...comment..and like ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

I'm down with FreindFeed. My usage has skyrocketed since the beta launch. - Tim
