I had one of those on Monday, tuesday wasn't much better. 2009 is gonna be a bitch! LOL - Susan Beebe

Man, that's crazy, I'm sorry. - Shawn Farner

Jeremiah: yeah, saw that. Thing is I get mostly paid for my video and I almost always do one a day of those. - Robert Scoble

I'm not dissing you Robert, read my comment. If community and influence transcends beyond URLs then you're doing the right thing - Jeremiah Owyang

You might be interested to know that I am NOT "recalibrating my media plan." I don't have one. I'm here and on Twitter to talk, not to be "media." - Dominic Jones

Weaknesses well analyzed - Don Schuetze

We're going to see a lot more of this in 2009 - and it's healthy. People will invest in their own homes, not the watering holes where they hang. - Steve Rubel

+1 @Dominic...nothing wrong with just being part of the hoi polloi - .LAG liked that

I thought Twitter was basically just a place to redirect FF posts to no? - Thomas Hawk

@ Steve Rubel, that certainly makes sense. Most of our readers are not here, but for some good discourse with people who will challenge your thinking, I find FF very stimulating. - Dominic Jones

Oops, I think I just insulted my blog's readers. I meant to say coming here is refreshing and interesting because it's more diverse. My blog is about one thing, and it gets a little tedious. - Dominic Jones

I had this problem with Plurk, being on it 24/7. What I've learned and love about Twitter, even with its flaws, is that you don't owe anyone anything. Update at your leisure. Twitter has the one thing many other services don't have: mobility. That's what keeps me on it. - Allen S.

@Thomas I see what you did, there... - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

I had similar thoughts and wrote about them here: http://bit.ly/PZgk . I guess it depends on how or what you use Twitter for, but for the big conversation, Friendfeed is built much better. - Wallace Wilson

A must read if you have been 'on twitter' too much lately. Funny thing is the coincidence that I also started to use FriendFeed (& check SocialMedian) a couple of days ago for the same reasons. My conclusion is to push messages to t. but to microblog in a personal way on identi.ca/markusmerz and to follow and comment on FF. Twitter just doesn't taste good anymore. - Markus Merz

why not publish your FriendFeed activity to Twitter? You've got a very large following on Twitter and if they saw that the conversation is here, you'll likely help grow FriendFeed (your hiatus brought me here). Or are Louis and Robert in charge of all FriendFeed recruitment? - Stuart Miniman

Stuart's comment makes a lot of sense - easy to setup cross post from FF (Tools menu) to Twitter. - Scott Loftesness

Because I have nothing better to do than speculate on Jeremiah's position, I'd assume #2 in "How I do NOT use Twitter" (from http://poprl.com/At9) might answer that question. - Matt Albiniak

I was just going to say the same for Stuart. You can mirror your native Friendfeed items to Twitter. Just do it. - Louis Gray

Twitter's not dead, but it's too mainstream though. FriendFeed just rocks. - imabonehead

Sounds like one of those cigarette personal achievements, "Haven't had a puff in two weeks!" - Hutch Carpenter

I support feeding Twitter with your FriendFeed activities.. You're a Twitter star anyway.. and I enjoy your tweets.. - Pico Seno

why? - orionstarr

How can you desert Twitter--it's really the world-wide-web in real time. - PhilTaylor

Matt's correct, these tools have different purposes, and therefore different uses. - Jeremiah Owyang

me too - Thomas Power

Did I just win a t-shirt or something? - Matt Albiniak

why don't you just have your FF comments automatically sent to Twitter. Kills two birds with one stone. - Waynette Tubbs

8 is a lucky number in Chinese culture. :) - imabonehead

It's my birthday. I always knew I am a lucky girl. - nik

I like that now when I speak people listen, when I was younger that drove me insane. I hate that my body feels second hand already. (28) - Toby Graham

Love using wisdom I didn't have earlier on when I was younger. I hate trying to get back into shape... it seems to take longer each time I attempt it. [But I'm NOT giving up. :)] - Kevin C. Tofel

I don't worry so much. I realized at some point "hey, I'm pretty good at what I do" and now I trust my gut. Work sometimes made me a nervous wreck when I was younger (mostly I just cared too much, often about the wrong things). - Jason Wehmhoener

Hate: Weight gain issues like Jeremiah mentioned; feel tired/run-down faster now; memory loss (which is secondary to having a hugely stressful job!!); not as much of a "looker" now...ignored more in favor of younger women (ouch); rejected more. Love: Respect, knowledge/wisdom factor is awesome!; street smarts, business saavy "capitol", better communication, people / political saavy; historical context is now present (better decisions/info); deeper tech domain knowledge / skill set ... big picture is big! - Susan Beebe

The first time someone called me "Sir" I stepped out of the way because I thought they were talking to someone behind me. Then I realized. *sigh*. On the upside, I don't worry about *anything* anymore. - Sprague D

LOVE: the confidence that really understanding yourself brings Don't-Love-so-much - the minor aches and ridiculously longer recovery times - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

Love: the freedom to do what i want to do, horizontal license, less stress. Hate: the fact that i realize i'm getting older. - Kyle A Koch

Love: Freedom, more responsibilities, mental growth, and simply growing up through the hardships of life. Hate: Not being able to play in the park anymore cause I'm too big :( - Bartek Ciszkowski

I don't get carded anymore. - imabonehead

@Kyle, horizontal license = no one to tell you to get out of bed? - Toby Graham

I Love that every day i grow more knowledgeable than I grow old. I hate that things to worry about increase faster than anything else (except maybe credit). - Parth Awasthi

bartek - bu that's what Dave and Buster's, GameWorks, etc. are for - Jeff Woelker from twhirl

Hate: noisy knees, gray underarm hair (just one? Where's The Fish?!?) LOVE: being taken more seriously at work, having the confidence that comes from surviving all the weird things I've experienced in my life. - ha3rvey (wants confit)

I love that people respect me more and more as I get older. I hate that those younger than me respect me lesser and lesser. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Love: dancing at parties (at last!) and not care what others might be thinking. Hate: diabetes. - Bob Kingsley

I just hate money as it's evil! - Joe Dawson

Riffing on Sprague D, being addressed as "Sir" - The frequency increases with age. I expect to expire once it reaches 100% - Kevin Johnson from twhirl

I hate the growing awareness that there really isn't enough time. - shelisrael1

being called Mr or Sir, a growing awareness that its time to do only the right thing - Patphelan

Love: Knowledge. Hate: Responsibility. - Mohamed J

I love that I can give self-doubt the finger. (finally) Why couldn't I have this confidence and wisdom at 18? ;) I hate the fact that I'm 29 and have some lower-back issues. - Anna Haro

Hate: feeling compelled to respond to lists like this. Love: having kids. - Clay Newton

Love the comfort and bonding of a long marriage, watching our kids grow, and the fact that every day is one day closer to heaven. Hate the aches and pains. - Robert

Love: being able to dance on the sofa with my shoes on while holding a bowl of ice cream. Hate: being the one that has to clean up the ice cream when i drop it on the sofa. - carlotta fancypants

Echo what Robert said... - Mrsth

i love that younger people will listen to me now. I hate that younger people won't listen to me now. - chartreuse

love: experience, lessons; hate: physical and mental deterioration, people around me getting older. - ~C4Chaos

Love: learning to accept myself for who I am Hate: Taking 30 years to get there - Sally: reading a book

Hate that I'm usually the oldest guy in the room, and forgetting that I am :) - Bryan Thatcher

I love that I had my kids very young (and they are grown!) and that I look young but have all these years of wisdom. I hate that I don't know about half the bands my son listens to so he thinks I know nothing of music. GAH! - Gina

I've been a kid and am an adult. Adult is better :) - Michael Gartenberg

Love that I can afford the latest techno gadgets and try out new hobbies. Hate the gray hair and the aching bones after a good workout. - Alfred C. Chen

Love: feeling more comfortable in my skin, broader perspective, increased earning power, knowing my stuff (most of the time, anyways); Hate: needing so much sleep, wrinkles - Erin Collopy

Love the wisdom that comes from experience. Hate having to think about how finite our time is. - LogEx

Love that a growing level of experience and knowledge allows for the generation of a number of ideas. Frustrated by knowledge and skill deficits necessary for successful execution that is revealed by those very same ideas - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

I hate everytime Vera tells me I sound grumpy like my dad, and in the back of my head, I know I do. - Dave@yummyporky

I hate that I am no longer "kiddo" at the office. I love that I know all the songs on Guitar Hero and rock harder than my kids:-) - bdsanchez
