Derrick is really cute in person, and he's funny as hell. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

187 more comments

Nakachi is the bringer of words that brighten every day. - LogEx

I like that one, Logical Extremes. Again, the ability to like individual comments or posts would be good here. On topic, Ophelia, who is not that active on friendfeed but filters here anyway, is very good with words. Her updates both entertain and inspire me. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

Monique posts something that makes me smile or chuckle just about every day she's active - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

FFing Enigma (aka Tina) is articulate, witty, and passionate. - Glen Mistletoe

RAPatton might be the best dad i've ever read about (my dad excluded of course) - Steve C

I still love Anika's avatar. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

I have to pick one? - ha3rvey (chee-la-key-les)

Nope. You can do it as many times as you like. For instance, I like how ha3rvey is funny and just a genuinely nice guy. :) - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

Akiva's great pictures of Babby Audrey and Rochelle always make me smile (technically that was just about one person... sorta...) :D - Lindsay

"i18n" is short for "internationalization", i+<18 letters>+n. By that schema, i80and saved us all a lot of screen real estate. - DGentry

What can I say about one person? Jason Toney's posts always elicit wonder and insight. RAPatton, I feel like is just full of awesome with his insight and approach to things. Haggis is a barrel of laughs. Steven Perez (when he's not fighting with conservatives) has spawned his own catchphrase. Nicholas K. is just about the most awesome single dad I've seen in a long time. Tina and... more... - Derrick

Victor Ganata is extremely intelligent, empathetic and articulate. He has always been exceptional in understanding others whether he agrees or disagrees with an opinion, and he always treats everyone with the utmost of respect. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

Jonathan Hardesty is funny and wants to have my babies. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

I wish I could call everyone out. If we interact here on FF, take it on faith that I pretty much love you. - Derrick

You know me, I can't ever pick one person so I will simply say that every single person I subscribe to is smart, interesting, funny and make being on this crazy little site damn entertaining. Those that I've been lucky enough to get to know beyond the site prove to me every day that everyone who has ever said only weirdos and stalkers are online are just smoking crack. - ♥patricia♥

I'm with you there, Derrick. There are so many people here who are funny, smart, interesting, entertaining, etc. There are even a couple who make me blush. NOT NAMING ANY NAMES. And then there's that cilantro dude. - ha3rvey (chee-la-key-les)

Steven Perez is a funny guy, and can cheer me up when I'm down. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

My first public skype call was with Tad, Glen and the Amber - a lovely conversation with great people. Tad was bold enough to live stream his workstation software install expedition and is a friend to all; Glen is chalk full of incisive wit and has an easy going conversational style; and the Amber was open enough to admit she's shy but worked up the courage to get on the call anyway. Like I said, great people, and quite representative of all the good people in the land of friendfeed. - Micah Wittman

Derrick tells the truth! There's so many awesome people I can't choose just one. - Rodfather

Anika Malone is as straight a shooter as there ever has been She will always tell you the truth about what she thinks. I find that to be a quality many people could use more of, and I respect her, and love her for it. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

I can't believe that there are people I'm not subbed too. - Derrick

Shevonne is a hottie, and not because she is nice to look at. - Amber, Random Time Lord

Damn, Amber. LOL - Derrick

I love how Amber unabashedly states things. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

I wrote in my 25 things that one of my laments in life is finding a woman who challenges me mentally. Tina does just that. With aplomb. There have been countless times that I was sure of myself and she will make a comment that causes me to completely rethink the issue entirely. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

Louis Gray got me to think about just being myself and not allowing the tech heavy side of FF to intimidate me. - Derrick

Michael W May and RAPatton have the best tastes in music I've ever seen in my life, I applaud and covet their music collection. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Derrick and Mona and Akiva and Rochelle and Jandy and many of you make me laugh every day. - Louis Gray

Derrick is the shizzle, treated me like an old friend. That's one of 500 nice things I have to say about other Friendfeeders. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

Rachel Fox takes outstanding pictures. - Louis Gray

My little pea... fierce as a woozle, indeed! So quiet and unassuming... But so poignant at exactly the right moment. The exactly right phrase to every situation. If she can' brighten your mood, nobody else can, either. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

Johnny is just plain awesome - Amber, Random Time Lord

DYSP! Steven and I disagree here and there but in the end I absolutely admire his sense of humor and his passion. A truly A-Lister here on Friendfeed. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

Alex Scoble, Cristo, Chris White and Thomas Hawk vigorously defend their views, but never take it (or make it) personal. - Kevin Fox

Whew... Only 642 more to go... - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

I love all of you here making my day brighter :) - BeeLing

Thomas Hawk makes me want to be a better photographer. - ha3rvey (chee-la-key-les)

Derrick and Monique would be my road dawgs if we lived in the same city - Amber, Random Time Lord

Robert Scoble is on a mission to close down every other social network. - Louis Gray

Tad is fun to chat with, even during the awkward moments - Amber, Random Time Lord

I love the fact that Rochelle always likes the same stuff I like. And that Akiva and I both grew up in southeast Texas. - Glen Mistletoe

I think, most of all, Derrick has redefined what it means to be yourself. I have had the distinct honor of meeting him and what you see here is Derrick. He shares his joys with us, which is easy, but he also shares his pain with us. I must say that I am jealous of his ability to be open, and I admire him immensely. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

I love everyone who gives me a reason to drop my pants... that and Josh Haley. - Johnny Worthington

I love johnny dropping his pants....o_O - WorldofHiglet

Pea has a lovely voice and makes days better. - Amber, Random Time Lord

Bow to Joe Pierce and his movie prowess. - Amber, Random Time Lord

*drops pants* - Johnny Worthington

edythe, Morton, and Kol for liking so much, they allow everyone to notice each other. - Rodfather

I can't thank April Russo enough for all the help she has given me here at Friend Feed. She is awesome in my book. - Brent Smorgen Bleg

I'd like to know how it Is I'm seem to be commenting right around the time Johnny is droppin' Pants? - Brent Smorgen Bleg

Way too many good things to say about way too many people - I don't want to leave the island - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

Anna and Rodfather are great for liking the same random crap I do. - Amber, Random Time Lord

James (Tsali) you win for putting up with me all this time. Rah for being Rah. Anika for cutting to the quick in a conversation. And etc... you know you rock if I follow you. - Amber, Random Time Lord

I guess what I am saying is there are roughly a squillion people on Frienfeed of whom I am in awe and also whom I have the most respect. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

i like jim janotti. he's cool. - Trish Haley

i dig vijay and his love of all things japanese is fun. - Trish Haley

johnny worthington and his family are wicked beautiful. - Trish Haley

So are the Haleys! - Johnny Worthington

rochelle and akiva are nice in person and on FF... - Trish Haley

i would trust pea and trish r to babysit zoe. (that's saying a lot) - Trish Haley

aww. I would love to babysit Zoe! That means a lot, thank you. - ♥patricia♥

You are all awesome, but bonus props to Tina (aka) for consistently being the voice of reason in every conversation, to Derrick for being Derrick, Jandy for keeping it real, and Chris Baskind for bringing the issues, Kol Tregastes for non-stop cool stuff...man, I'm realizing I could go on...what an amazing community :-D - Louis Simoneau

Mattie Kenny is the Dulcinea to my Don Quixote. - Steven Perez

3 of you are awesome for donating to the cause of FFundercats recently. - Josh Haley

i like the conversations with katie about books. i like holly because she's a librarian and helped me with a geek problem. shevonne is down to earth and makes me want to buy boots. - Trish Haley

Holly is sweet and nice. - Steven Perez

WorldofHiglet is the Slayer. What else need be said? - Steven Perez

Josh Haley RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLES!!! - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Actually, many of the people in this thread are in my "FF Favorites" list - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Every time something mildly bad happens I think to myself "DAMN YOU STEVEN PEREZ!" (hey, I think that's something nice to say about him ;) - Alejandro

darren heydon is good for warm fuzzies. - Trish Haley

I can't pick out one specific person. I can name a few names, but there's a specific reason why I am subscribed to every person I am subscribed to. Jandy and Lindsey all kinds of rock, fellow geek chic - so they have to. :P Johnny keeps me cracking up. Zee is my boy for sure, we'd make a ton of trouble if we lived near each other. Monique is straight up, which is win. I can't keep naming people...it would...take up way too much time. I am sure I will though. - Candace

anika converted me to munchos... yum! - Trish Haley

joey is charming. Helen is real. Penguin is adorable. - Laura Norvig

Anika has wonderful, curious kids. - John E. Bredehoft

Outsanity is one funny motherfucker -

Parth has a wonderful soul. Abby makes me giggle. Carlos and Cee Bee hotties who post some interesting material. Laura Botts and Jim's banter gives me happy feelings all day. Everyone I'm subbed to rocks. That's why I'm subbed to them. - Admiral Anika

Robert Scoble was the first person I heard mention FriendFeed. - ha3rvey (chee-la-key-les)

High-five to Leather Donut for bringing us some tits and ass *thumbs up* -

oh, it would be so hard to list them all. FF is full of lots of interesting, hilarious, entertaining, and just outstanding individuals.that I look forward to interacting with, many of whom have already been mentioned. yes, even that cilantro lover ;) There's also a fantastic bunch of librarians who hang out here and make me proud to call myself a librarian. yeah, we kinda rule. :) - holly

Holly is right. I *adore* my collection of librarians here. - Admiral Anika

Michael W. May for his taste in music, Abby Martin for her exceptional good taste in movies (and being a great mother), Håkan and Rutger for their photos and Robert Scoble for the geek stuff. And Esther for being both sweet and smart. But all of the people I sub to are people that brighten my day! - Baard @ Pixum

MWM and RAP and Haggis for the music mindshare, Tad and Steven Perez and Josh Haley and Worthington for cracking me the HELL up, Derrick for being Derrick so awesomely, Anika and Krynsky and Amani and other LA peeps for helping me learn the city, Abby and Joe Pierce and Logical Extremes and others for the fab movie convos, Louis Gray for apparently paying more attention to me than I... more... - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

I'm just really happy to have a great internet family. :) That's what makes FRIENDFeed so awesome. - Internet's Tad

to all ppl i follow, thankyou for sharing with me too, :) - chaz2b

I feel me some Abby Martin especially b/c of her passion for sports and movies ... Jandy for not seeing me stalk her when she was drunk posting at the show ... Shey for being the first cool Canadian I have ever met ... Mona for laughing at me when i asked for advice (and then giving me good advice) ... Anika for opening up her home ... Shevonne for being a fly girl with some fire ... I'll continue in a bit - Amani

I´ll add some love for Derrick as well b/c he was the first friendfeeder to take me under his wing and show me the ropes here. BUT there has since become a handful or two more that define my good friendfeed experience. Intelligence, humour and warmth is abundant amongst you all, so thanks. - Thomas Bøhm

Amani, were you for serious there? - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

Mona is incredibly thoughtful and considerate of others, not to mention AWESOME!! - Rachel Lea Fox

Agree with Holly and Anika - my librarian peeps here are amazing. And there's so many of us! - Laura Norvig

Yolanda always makes me smile. MWM and Tina are always helpful, caring, and knowledgeable. Anika is just awesome, especially her smile. Steven's singing is great. Outsanity & Tad always make me laugh (MVB often, too). Alex & Chris B. make me think. Derrick makes me feel. Jemm & Nia provide so many late night smiles. I appreciate Katie for getting me reading more, and Lindsay for getting... more... - Alix Whitmire

Jandy, I will never tell ... - Amani

Amani o_O - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

thanks for letting me hang out with you Friendfeeders(all of you) it's an honor and lots of fun! - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Steve C. always makes me laugh, ALWAYS. plus everyone else mentioned here is truly awesome as well :) - Kelly

Sorry, I can't say anything at the moment because I'm still enjoying everyone's warmth from Jandy's group hug - Mark Krynsky

It's hard to pick anyone out because my total FF is made up of so many brilliant people: funny, witty, acerbic, insightful, mind-blowing, thrusting, truth-seekers, provocative, timelords (okay, there might only be one of them...). I love the tech, the LOLs (and the LOLcats), the debates, the discussions, the shared problems, the glimpses into others' lives....And Monique, you have started one of my favourite threads so special props to you. - WorldofHiglet

Monique is a clever woman to kick off such a good thread - RAPatton

Josh and Trish and Tina and Yolanda and Derrick and DYSP Steven make me smile and laugh when I need it. Johnny Worthington always hears when I post an "OMG help me!" kind of thing, and he usually responds with the most absurd and sweet message. Also, he has haiku battles with me, which is all kinds of WIN. Mark W and Fierce Lindsay make me smile, and Mark VandenBerg makes me LOL. And there are so many other sweet and funny and clever people who fill my day here on FriendFeed... thank you to everyone! - Ladybug Heather

AKA Tina is really good at putting up with my silly e-crish. - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny

I love the wit of many but must say MVB can make me spit drinks at the glance of his posts. - Janet

I don't even know where to begin. There are so many people who I love for different reasons. Hmmm..My LAers (Derrick, Amani, Derrick, Anika, Monique, Edythe) because they are always cooler than cool. My New Yorkers (Mona and Cee Bee) because they bring the versatility. My mothers (Abby, Rochelle, Jen, Katie) because they always remind me how great is it to be a mom. RAPatton because... more... - Shevonne

That's OK, Shevonne. I'm sure it will come to you. :D - Steven Perez from IM

You see....Steven Perez because he's funny as hell, and then there is Yolanda cause she is one of the sweetest EVER. Ugghhh too many. This is like giving an acceptance speech. =D - Shevonne

Not me! I was talking about Mike Nayyar. He's so lonely in his dumpster. :D - Steven Perez from IM

I love all of you! - joey

I enjoy everyone, but like Thomas Hawk's photos and philosophies the most, and learn more from Louis Gray than anyone else. - jcunwired

Returning the love to Amani and Abby -- you guys are two of the most honest and kindest souls on FF. Others: RAPatton probably doesn't have a single mean bone in him (ok, poor choice of words there), I could watch Dobromir's feed all day long, Shevonne is a ray of FF sunshine, Akiva is just flat out funny - Shey, Jamaican of FF

There are so many people here that make being here worthwhile that I cannot single out just one. You guys all rock in your own special ways. - Alex Scoble

I LOVE ROBERT SCOBLE! ~ just not in that way. Not that there's anything wrong with that. - sofarsoShawn

Awww thanks Shey! My favorite Jamaican. There is Pea, my fellow DCer who is one of the most genuine peeps up in here! - Shevonne

I love interacting with all the smart, funny FFolks on here! Too many to name, but among my favorites are: Lindsey (the Fierce), Rochelle/Akiva/Audrey, Derrick, Ladybug and Scott, Jim J, RAPatton, Tina (the Enigmatic)... You all rock my world! - Laura Lou Who

ceebee and RAPatton post the most interesting stuff. and even if he wasn't my boo, i'd still be all up in JT's feed for his pop culture and politics mix. love their stuff - tiffany

M F has a great eye for great eye candy. - Mark H

there are many friendfeeders i feel particularly warmly to because something of their inner self is always coming out: Michael W. May (who has always been at the top of the list), Morton Fox, Anika/Faboo Mama, Yolanda, rap, Cecily, Tad, Akiva, Rochelle, Lindsey, Lindsay D., Beeling, Rodfather, Ginger Makela, Mark Trapp, Ceebee, Shevonne, Abby Martin, Jandy, Zach Landes, Nathan Rein,... more... - edythe

The community / user base of friendfeed is one of the biggest reasons that these days, I'm spending more time on friendfeed versus twitter. I love you all, even the people that annoy me from time to time. - Jeremy

and even yuvi, despite the fact that he used to call me Old Woman. :) and Donna Mugavero and Joanmarie and Michelle Martinez... and Silpol (now A.T.) and oh my gosh PARTH!!!! :) - edythe

and oh my gosh Shey and his jaw-droppingly lovely wife Jasmin... i like Robert Scoble, too, because he always seems upfront to me and never mean. - edythe

Additions - Cee Bee for highest quality posts consistently, Ebrahimi for pictures and translating squiggly for me, Iain for celebrity without celebrity tude, Jessie and Soup most socially conscious posts, Tina for being FF spirit leader, Lindsey online 24hours day, Anne and Jim for getting me here. :) - Steve C

I 'like' Tyson Key! And a bow toward Trish Haley, thanks for making me blush. Speaking of Haleys, Trish, Josh, and Morgan have all become favorites of mine. MVB makes me laugh like a fool, as does relative newbie Valley... he is one funny dude! Gosh, all these names are coming to mind! I'll probably have to comment more later. But for this go-round I will close by saying... if Carmen ever stops posting those daily mug shots, I'm going offline! - Jim Hearts FF

Oh, and to Monique who I guess I am not subsribed to... you completely win for putting up this post. What an excellent, excellent gift to the community! - Jim Hearts FF

Mona has gorgeous legs! :) - Beau Liening

I gotta' send some love out to the original band of hooligans who got me hooked on FF: edythe, RAP, Brandon, MWM, Louis Gray & Robert Scoble. You guys filled my world with gobs of geekiness and great interaction on SO MANY different levels. Thanks for making my addiction to FF possible. Of course, now there are so many, many, many others who help to keep me here. I can't even begin to name you all. - Lisa L. Seifert

PS: Thanks for putting up with my Twitter-heavy stream while I'm in school for this year. Eventually, I'll have time to interact more again. xoxo - Lisa L. Seifert

Alix is a wonderful caring wife who tolerates me and my annoying sleeping/eating/battlestar watching habits. I is lucky. - Shawn Whitmire

I love Akiva for bringing the comedy and the pain. I love Derrick for being as real in the OSH parking lot as he is on FF. I love Monique for being the Pied Piper of the interwebz and helping me recover my sanity. I love James for being so gently poetic. I love Rahsheen for the soft porn videos he always takes in bed. I love Johnny Worthington for being such a cuddle muffin of hair and vulgarity. I love Steven Perez for being a quicker wit than me and nicer than me all at once. - nakachi

I love Kaia for the name Baronnes Von Cut A Bitch. I love Robin (bcultural) for the science and the nation building. I love Logical Extremes and Rodfather for their quiet affirmations that never go unnoticed. I love Helen for the virtual daps she gives me whether I'm flying or firing. I love Anna Haro for all the little hearts she sends my way <3 to you, too, honey girl. - nakachi

It would take too long for me to put all my 328 subscriptions in here! If I'm following you, rest assured that you and your content matter to me. :) - Laura Lou Who

I love Rochelle 'cause momminess becomes her. And I love YOU! - nakachi

Nakachi's Facebook status updates blow my mind - Rodfather

I love this thread. We need an effing FF CONVENTION. - Derrick

This past week has not been a very good one for me and I might have lost it completely if it hadn't been for Johnny, Steven and Derrick for all dropping their pants for me. I love that there are people on here, that I have never met, that care enough to make me laugh when I am feeling way crappy. <3 And of course there are more, just giving props to those that made me feel better this week :) MWAH! - Penny

Nice Thought Monique - Two thumbs up. - Brent Smorgen Bleg

Also, Nia for her beautiful photos and Mo for making me laugh too :) - Penny

I'm ready for more. I love Nia for her kindness and her pictures. I love me some g.warbucks 'cause she's brilliant AND pretty to look at. I love tiffany for sharing the good, the bad and the tipsy. I love Chris Weige for keeping art on my mind. I love that the people who subscribe to me give a damn about what I have to say enough to take the time to read me. I'm grateful. - nakachi from fftogo

I had no idea when I started this thread that it would blow up like this. I think this is a clear example of the value of friendfeed: the relationships we build. Sure, we have differing interests, politics, social situations and opinons, but at the end of the day, what we come here for are the people. No one exists in a vacuum, and if they did, they probably wouldn't have a friendfeed... more... - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

Shut up, bitch. - Derrick

Just playin'. :) - Derrick

Best two comments ever. - Akiva Moskovitz

It is hard to pick a single person but as stated...you all bring me much needed laughter. I especially LOVE the ladies room girls - you bring the essence of love. Thank you so much. - Janet

Personally, I think Akiva Moskovitz rocks. He's one of the main reasons why I use FriendFeed. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't even be here. - Akiva Moskovitz

Yeah, probably not. - Christopher Harley

Can I just say I love you all?? - Nurse Katie

Monique is all kinds of sexy. From all shy and flirty to 'oh my!' and dirty! Me likes the Mo'! - Morgan Haley

Kaia is the bee's knees because she changes her name to the funniest stuff. - Ms. G.Warbucks IYN

Monique rocks because she sings off-key in supermarkets and doesn't give a damn. (She will understand this.) :) - Ms. G.Warbucks IYN

That was a fun night. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

not to sound too much like a Mutual Admiration Society, but edythe's feed was what got me hooked on this place. :-D - Karim

Ha, there are too many awesome people here to list and compliment individually; but Denton Gentry, Kevin Johnson, and Morton Fox are all awesome and extremely skilled techies! - i80and

The FF founders and employees rock pretty hard too thanks Paul, Bret, Jim, Anna etc - Steve C

browneyes - otsunegi

Lindsay D. and Kol Tregaskes are kind and respectful even when disagreeing with someone. Civility like that deserves a mention because it is not often the norm in the online world. - Jim Hearts FF

Penny for her personality and her self portraits which are awesome and so real!<3 Dobromir, Richard and Michael who always wishes good morning ^^. Manuela, because of her sense of style what becomes to art, also a very lovely person! Nakachi, Girl, you rock my world! Stay as you are - you are wonderful! L4S who is so much fun and amazing person :) Will, cause of his kindness and cause... more... - Nia

Everybody already mentioned in this thread, plus Meryn and Joelle for being really smart and inquisitive about some of things I find particularly interesting, too. Or at least the way they discuss them. Not that I don't think that way about the rest of you, just no one had mentioned them yet. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

Jim, yeah there's no need to be bitchy while disagreeing. Get your point over but don't be nasty about it. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Bumping this, I hope. Loved this thread! - Laura Lou Who

I think Josh Haley has a very smart and charismatic older brother. No, not that one...the other one... - Morgan Haley

*bump* - Laura Lou Who

Laura Botts cracks my shit up. I'm still trying to figure out what her obsession with grits is. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

This thread was the business. *stirs grits* - Derrick

Mo, she's a Suthehn Gul. - Derrick

IIRC, it's all Barry's fault. - Laura Lou Who

Oh, and Ha3rvey's post today made me think of this thread. http://friendfeed.com/ha3rvey... - Laura Lou Who

Mo Kargas for his awesomeness. (I hope that by honoring great killer robots my death shall be quick and painless once they take over the world) - Jemm

i80and for his Linux postings, FFing Enigma for roller derbying, Mo Kargas because... the giant robot intimidates me. - DGentry

echostreamer has solid integrity and calls me on my sh!t - highly appreciated - William Harryman

How did I miss thread? It needs a comeback. Thank you LB for the bump. If you think I might know who you are, the odds are high I love you and thank you for being around (even if you have moved on, in which case you won't see this, but it is important to mention nonetheless) and thank you for letting me into your lives a little bit *hugs* - Michael W. May

MWM, this was one of the best FF threads I've ever seen. Sometimes it just needs to reappear. :) #complimentSunday - Laura Lou Who

I didn't see this the first time round either (but it looks like I was in NYC when this was happening). I have friends who I knew before FF for whom friendfeed has allowed me to know better and there are folks like RAP, edythe, and MwM whose posting and conversation have enriched my life and ignited my imagination. Thanks kids. And, of course, I love Sneezy but FF had little to do with that. - Jason Toney

I really admire Kol Tregaskes, he's always informative and gets involved quite a bit with almost everything. Quite the most selfless individual I ever came across on the net :) ... Also Holden Page impresses me everyday because he's a younger individual with tons of interest in several subjects that most older users usually get into, he shows he's not afraid to learn and keep his... more... - Tim Tunnicliff

I've met a lot of great people here on FF (I won't single anyone out). This is a diverse community that has brought some great conversations that simply could not have been done with a little blue bird and whale. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Holly Rae is the biggest FF'in promoter within a hundred mile radius of my chair. :) - Laura (hear me raura?)

I can't really say much about anyone specific, other than ya'll are the greatest and have helped amuse me through some very hard times over the past year or so, and a special thanks with much love goes out to Amber, the Random Time Lord for introducing me to FF and for putting up with me for this long. - Tsali, The Native of FF

I totally like Louis Gray - Mike Fruchter - RAPatton - Worthington - CS Techcast - and tons of other people - thanks for making my use of FF enjoyable. - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

Gosh! Thank you very much, Tim! - Kol Tregaskes

You're very welcome my friend :+) - Tim Tunnicliff from email

It's well deserved bro and you're very welcome :+) - Tim Tunnicliff from email

Holly Rae because she is such an awesome edugeek - always sharing and encouraging others to think. And, no one can beat her flapper Halloween costume! - Shea from BuddyFeed

Yeah, that costume was the business. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

I enjoy my time "in" here with most of my FF friends - VAL D. Zone

Sheesh! Thanks @laurapresently and @shea for saying nice things about me. How the hell (excuse the french) did I miss that!!! Thanks Monique for starting the thread and mentioning 'the business' - Holly Rae, FFer

My turn... Laura (hear my raura) for putting up with me talking about FF endlessly on days like 'the day FB bought FF' - Holly Rae, FFer

Thanks to Shea for being generous with time and resources. He invited me to Google Wave. - Holly Rae, FFer

Thanks to Josh Haley & Johnny for creating a podcast that rocks and clued me in to so many things about FF. - Holly Rae, FFer

Thanks to Josh Haley for being the first FFer who gave me really great advice about lists. - Holly Rae, FFer

Thanks to Louis Gray for always searching up Friendfeed mentions and liking ... makes Newbies feel great!! - Holly Rae, FFer

Leo is excited to learn more about how Facebook will use Friendfeed. Please don't change it, though!

I don't have a good feeling about this one ... - Boris Gordon

I think FF will certainly change (or, worst case, cease to exist). - Brett Kelly

maybe FF can just be the test box and we're all beta users, then port what works over to FB ... everybody's happy? yeah, it'll never work. - John

My guess is FF will pretty much freeze it's feature set and code base. FF engineers will start working on adding functionality to Facebook, and at some points 6-12mo from now, FF will go the way of Pownce. - Ken Sheppardson

I think the probable outcome is the Feedburner scenario; it still works, they just stopped innovating. - Gerardo Capetillo

when will they realize we do not necessarily want everything linked together. it is not always about trying to hide your idenity has it is just using different social media tools for different purposes. - R. Ferguson

I think Facebook will just kill Friendfeed - Terry Cleary

That's the spirit. I'm tired of the "when are we jumping" posts - this is the right attitude. - Jesse Stay

That's because you're "pro-Facebook", Jesse... of course you'd be tired of the anti-Facebook backlash. - Ken Sheppardson

FriendFeed = labs.facebook.com - Mike Doeff

I don't have a good feeling about this either. Hopefully FF and FB get better, only time will tell. - Kolomona

Does this mean I'll have to log onto my facebook page? I've been ignoring fb since January. - Dale

I like Friendfeed the way it is too but I just wish there was better desktop cleint support. Hopefully Tweetdeck etc. will have more reason to add FF support now. - KyleHase

Facebook is going to just "flop" friendfeed, i can see it... but i would hate to see it end that way, friendfeed is that social networking site that really matters, and us "true" early friendfeed users will alway remember it as the best site ever! - Bryce Campbell

I don't see this as a good sign for FF....innovation will be geared for Facebook, FF could be a FB labs sort of thing, but it's not the same. I have yet to see mergers or acquisitions not kill off or turn whatever was eaten into a dead pile of junk. Time Warner -- AOL anyone? - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

Rob: After this acquisition, who do you expect will be tasked with continuing to innovate on the FF platform? The former FF team? That's not consistent with what's known about the situation. - Christopher A Carr

Leo Good Day, Sir. I'm on here an hour and I like it, I'm a big Twitter fan.

Cheers and thanks for all you do, I'm a fan. - Paul Roberts

Don't you think they will change it, Leo? I'm not as excited about this as you are. I like friendfeed but I'm not much of a facebook fan. I don't know if I can learn to love it. I guess I'll try. But I don't know if it's gonna happen. I think friendfeed as we know it is no more. - Lise

False. It's the love of money that's the root of all evil. Money, by itself, has no meaning and it certainly doesn't have any motives of its own. - Akiva Moskovitz

Greed is the root all evil; money is just the most common, ready face of it. - Michael W. May

+1 Akiva. Money isn't evil. The greed that drives you to love it and pursue it at all costs is. - CAJ, somewhere else

Would taking it away avoid the greed? Or would it cause issues elsewhere? - Kol Tregaskes

Once again, Akiva nailed it. - ha3rvey (chee-la-key-les)

Greed just is. How it's measured doesn't matter. Distance can be measured in miles or kilometers. It's still the same distance. - CAJ, somewhere else

False. There is no root of all evil, but many roots and manifestations. Aside from that, money by itself is simply a tool for facilitating exchange. You wouldn't call a shovel the root of all evil if someone used one to bash someone's head in. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Kol, it would cause issues elsewhere. It's built into our species. You always hear a mother scolding her child for not sharing his toys. You never hear her scold him for giving all of his toys away. - Akiva Moskovitz

I posit that in the absence of money, something else will come along to inspire greed in mankind. Hence, I believe that human nature is the root of all evil. - Slippy "WildBeard" Lane

Akiva: I got mildly scolded for giving all my toys away... :P - Tanath

Slippy: What about good people? Is their "human nature" a root of evil? I think not - I really think it's ignorance that is the true root of all evil. - Tanath

@taneth every human has moments of selfishness.. there is no such thing as an inherently good human. We all commit acts of evil from time to time - it's just the incentive and the degree of that evil that is the modifier. Money is simply another variable. - alphaxion

"ignorance that is the true root of all evil" agree - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

False. The "love" of money is. - Valley

Props to Valley. Exactly. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

Money is like social medi it's only a tool. It's how one uses a tool that makes it good or evil. Another take is that the pursuit of money at all costs--the end justifies the means--could be considered the root of all evil. However, I think the pursuit of power at all costs has created far more misery. - Mark Davidson from BuddyFeed

You can love money without it becoming a problem, but there are good & bad ways to go about obtaining it. It's when you engage in selfish & other ignorant behaviour that it becomes a problem... - Tanath

love money? - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

False: Ignorance is. - Carlton Hackett

And love of money isn't the cause of evils unrelated to money. Also, as others have pointed out, even if there were no money, there would still be evil. - Tanath

Sean: Evil isn't a plant. ;-) There may be more than one cause of an event, but generally speaking you don't get plants without seeds. And I don't think you can ever get evil without ignorance. - Tanath

I would be a little more broad: Selfishness is the root of all evil. Wanting more (money, space, things) is not inherently hurtful to others. Ignoring the needs, feelings, or even safety of others in the pursuit of gain is another story. - Heather

If you selfish, you are ignorant. Ignorant is not "not knowing something", but unwillingness to learn. Babies are not ignorant, they just have not learned it yet - they are innocent. - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

A plant? I thought that evil was like a Unix system; one root at the very top. - Rishabh Mishra (p248) from Android

False. The love of money is the root of all manner of evil. 1 Tim 6:10: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." - Steven Perez

What Steven said. - Brett Kelly

igor: you have redefined "ignorant" what you have described is negligence and/or arrogance. "unwillingness to learn" is a self centered decision. the keyword is "unWILLing". meaning the proposition was heard and then rejected, either because the desire to learn was not substantial or the presented information was seen as inferior. of course if the information is in fact inferior then the characteristic exercised was wisdom. - Marco

Why can't we all just get along? </mars attacks quote>. methinks: Misunderstanding and Fear are the root of all evil. Love of money is a misunderstanding of it's usefulness(rich) & a fear that if you don't have any, horrible things will happen(poor). <Sadness /> - immaterial

@Igor: You're mistaken about the definition of ignorance. It IS lack of knowledge. @Steven Perez: Quoting the bible proves nothing. - Tanath

Prove that the quote is wrong. - Steven Perez from IM

@immaterial: Misunderstanding = ignorance. ;-) Fear generally comes from ignorance too (fear of the unknown, ignorance of a solution). - Tanath

@Steven Perez: It's not wrong... love of money has caused all kinds of evil. That doesn't make it the root of all evil though. - Tanath

Tanath, so I guess if I bribe you you will change your opinion on ignorance? How much do you want? Or u are not for sale? <wink> - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

@Sean: If evil stemming from ignorance isn't evil, then it would seem there is no evil. All evil is unfortunate, but that doesn't mean it's not evil. Even psychotic people who are that way due to a chemical imbalance are such because they are ignorant of how to act better (or why they should), and we are ignorant of a cure. - Tanath

Money is just a tool. If we didn't have money, the worst among us would still find ways to cheat and rob others. - Morton Fox

@Igor: LOL. My beliefs & opinions aren't determined by money, and I'm not a liar. One day my word may be worth more than you can afford. - Tanath

Morton, just make sure the market goes up, I promise I will not turn EVIL LOL - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Tanath, I hope so! Well keep seeking knowledge! ;-) - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

:-) Besides, anyone can check the dictionary, and what am I to say then? :P - Tanath

But I said evil stems from ignorance. You do not believe so? - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

the root? No. I think the root lies inside each of us. Some are good and would do good with money. Even with opportunities to get more money, but with negative methods, they choose to stay away from the money. Others would push their grandmothers in front of a bus for a chance at big bucks. me personally? I'd probably push someone else's grandmother in front of a bus, but that's where I draw the line - Morgan Haley

The quote comes from 1 Timothy 6:10: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage... And as someone earlier posted, it is often misquoted. - Melanie Reed

I think there was evil before there was money - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Perhaps. But once people found out that evil could pay off so handsomely, I'll bet that the level of evil went right through the roof. - Steven Perez from IM

the LOVE of money is the root of all evil according to scipture - sherijohnson

Exactly Patricia! (People keep repeating the same thing about love of money. Is it really that simplistic or is that just an easy quote?) - Heather

@Igor: I agree evil stems from ignorance - I was referring to the definition of ignorance. You (facetiously) offered to bribe me on that point. ;P - Tanath

@Heather, I think it's just an easy quote. It really doesn't make sense to blame it for all evil. :) - Tanath

@sherijohnson: Check the quote. It does not say love of money is the root of _all_evil. - Tanath

That's fine, Tanath. Because that's not what the Scripture says: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." Not ALL, but a whole freaking lot. - Steven Perez

And I disagree, in a sense. Sure, excessive love of money can lead to all kinds of evil, but I think that can only exist in the context of ignorance... If there is any root of "all evil" I think it must be ignorance. - Tanath

I dunno. I know plenty of smart people who let their love of money get in the way of their good sense, and it never seems to work out well for them. - Steven Perez

But everyone is ignorant in some ways. No one knows everything or is completely wise. - Tanath

Ignorance is part of the human condition. You might as well blame sunlight for being too bright. - Steven Perez from IM

Indeed. I never said we could eliminate ignorance or evil - but we can try to do the best we can. - Tanath

Ah, but that's not the question, is it? - Steven Perez from IM

The answer to the question is: False. - Tanath

On that, we both agree. :) - Steven Perez from IM

Same for love of money. ;P - Tanath

No. :) - Steven Perez

No. I've seen people do crappy things out of sheer cussedness, for free. - Jennifer Dittrich

@Steven: You really think love of money is the root of all evil? Then what do you say about the point that evil existed and would still exist without money? Money is just a tool. Tools aren't good or evil, it's in how they're used and the consequences they bring about. - Tanath

Hence, the "all kinds" before the "of evil". Not to say that people won't do evil things without making some on the side, but watch how motivated they get when there's a paycheck attached to the job. - Steven Perez from IM

But only those who are ignorant of why they shouldn't behave in certain ways will act in those ways. Unless they're completely apathetic, in which case I'd argue that that is ignorant too. - Tanath

If they are ignorant - that is to say, unaware of the harm that their actions cause - then can they truly be evil? - Steven Perez from IM

There's a difference between "being evil," or having an evil character, and doing evil. - Tanath

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions... :P - Tanath

I'm still struggling to figure out what exactly you find objectionable about the quote I used. - Steven Perez from IM

Only these: 1 - You quoted the bible, as if it proves something, and 2 - love of money is not the root of all evil, as has been implied. - Tanath

Ah. (1) So you object to the source material. Fine, that's your prerogative. But that doesn't prove it wrong. (2) Read the quote again. There are no absolutes in that quote. - Steven Perez from IM

I wipe my ass with 1 Dollar bills. - Matt Ruiz

I realize that. I meant that others have implied it. And my objecting to the source isn't proof in itself, but that doesn't mean there isn't proof. - Tanath

You know what the #1 quote from the movie CASABLANCA is? "Play it again, Sam." Just one problem - that quote never happens in the movie. At all. Yet, that's what people erroneously hear over and over again. Kinda like that Scripture you object to. - Steven Perez from IM

Others in this thread have implied it. I'm one of the ones pointing out that the quote doesn't imply it's the root of all evil. See my comment to sherijohnson for instance. :) - Tanath

Your stance is akin to you quoting a truism from a Harry Potter book and me objecting to the quote because I don't care for Harry Potter. - Steven Perez from IM

On the contrary. The manner in which you quoted the bible seemed to imply that it has some authority on the matter. This is debatable to say the least. - Tanath

***Which is why I included the quote.*** I can recall a quote poorly, but if I actually post the quote from the source material, the only objections you could feasibly have about it are (a) you don't like the source material or (b) the quote is incorrect. Since you've already indicated that the quote is not false, what other explanation is left? - Steven Perez from IM

I wonder if we're talking past each other here. What exactly is the point of contention? - Tanath

And considering that the question is based on the quote, it seems facetious NOT to remind all what exactly was said. - Steven Perez from IM

The question isn't necessarily based on the biblical quote. - Tanath

You know of another source that uses this? Such information would have been helpful. - Steven Perez from IM

It's part of common culture, and I'm sure there are prior sources for the notion. Edit: But even if they aren't, it's his own question whether it's been asked before or not. - Tanath

I would love to hear about those. - Steven Perez from IM

Though I don't see how it would be helpful - except for a debate about the bible. - Tanath

I get the distinct impression that, had I used a quote from a philospher, I would not have received such a vigorous debate about the veracity of my source. - Steven Perez from IM

You call this a vigorous debate? :P Actually, I only just bothered to look up the quote, and according to the KJV, it DOES say that love of money is the root of all evil. - Tanath

See, that was your first mistake. When was the KJV compiled? The 17th century. Try looking up that quote in any modern translation, and you'll find something different, such as my own Bible, the New World Translation: "For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains." - Steven Perez from IM

The KJV is apparently considered to be one of the more accurate translations. Meh. My point was that it does say it in some translations, so it makes sense for it to be quoted as such, and isn't necessarily a misquote. - Tanath

Yeah - back in 1611. - Steven Perez from IM

You think the increasing loss of the original languages has helped the later translations? - Tanath

Given the sheer number of codices that exist from between the time of the Dead Sea Scrolls and today, I think they are certainly more than enough reference sources to verify the translations. Certainly today, it is easier to get a better translation, simply due to the speed that information travels and the outlet available for double-checking one's translation, than it was back in 1611. - Steven Perez from IM

Meh. Not really interested in turning this thread into a biblical debate. ;) I have other relevant threads in my feed if you're interested in that. I'd rather stick to the point here and not hijack the thread. - Tanath

Steven: The Bible quote came across as an appeal to authority argument. I think that's what Tanath is trying to express. Please forgive me if I'm mistaken. - Mark Davidson from BuddyFeed

Tanath - Most people like to think of themselves as good people, but there are no absolutes in this respect. Some of the greatest evils are perpetrated by people who believe they are doing good. Human nature, by dint of evolutionary traits tends towards the cruel, selfish and greedy (just watch children at play to see what I mean). Thus, whilst I don't disagree with your argument, I think that my point still stands. - Slippy "WildBeard" Lane

Slippy, this is a point I've made myself above, but the cruel tendencies are remnants from times past. We are evolving towards more civilized behaviour. Selfishness & greed must eventually lose out over more wise behaviour. - Tanath

Tanath, to identify the source of a quote is not the equivalent of "hi-jacking" a conversation. It is simply identifying your source. In this instance, the quote that started this thread was not a mis-quote, but rather an incomplete one: it was as people tend to remember it with the most outstanding memory aids in that sentence: "money" and "evil". However, the point of the quote is... more... - Melanie Reed

Evernote still has a ways to go in terms of content embedding. But that will come shortly. Jason is right, though. Evernote's strength is its "cloud" and cross-platform capabilities.

Mesh is great - Randy Pollock

@Angelo - when I used to use OneNote the tab thing drove me nuts because I would make too many of them and it seemed like I had to wait until I had something "big enough" or "worthy enough" to make another tab. In Evernote a note is a note and with tagging I can organize them any way I want (kind of like the folder hierarchy vs tagging). - Lindsay

Well said Leo - Zee.

I'm a student on a Tablet PC, and so OneNote is a must for me. It's really nice and easy to draw your own hand written notes, and all my days notes are saved in separate sections, yet accessible through a global search. Evernote's "Spool of Paper" metaphore just isn't as good a method of taking notes for me. I've got a big shiny iMac at home, and would love to switch Evernote and OS X for my note taking on the go, but OneNote is the one program I just have to keep. Oh, and I sync it with DropBox ^^ - Stuart Jones

@Stuart - Evernote doesn't need to sync with a 3rd party file storage like DropBox since you can put anything in it. It also lets you do handwritten notes and e-ink, so OneNote isn't a monopoly on that. There is a list view you can use instead of the "ribbon" and you can organize everything in notebooks and tags so to only see the notes you need at a particular time. It's a different metaphor than OneNote for organization but after using it for a while I much prefer it to tabs. Saved Searches are great too. - Lindsay

Evernote is really platform agnostic, so you can access your data really from anywhere. It still has a bunch of features/functionality to add, but there's a lot it can do already. - Levi Wallach

@Jason, I may be wrong, but Leo's statement seems to be saying the opposite - that OneNote is superior. - Levi Wallach

@Lindsay - Hey, whatever works for you. Personally I haven't warmed up to the idea of tagging yet, although I use OneNote more for larger, ongoing projects so the tab system works better for me. Evernote is definitely more convenient to use for quick, disjointed notes that don't really fit into any particular project. - Angelo Stavrow

@Levi - I think Leo is a FriendFeed fan not a Twiiter, so based on that I would say he is an Evernote fan not a OneNote. - Jim Erickson

LOVE it... just found it after the net@night, planning on promoting on geekdads.tv shortly. BB version just came out, too! - GeekDads.TV

@Jason - Agreed, the iPhone app is what makes Evernote especially useful for me, if only because it ties all the note-taking things I'd use the device for (notes, camera, &cet.) in one easy-to-use app. OneNote Mobile wasn't nearly as slick on my old WinMo phone. - Angelo Stavrow

@Jim, I didn't know that, thanks. - Levi Wallach

@Angelo - I use Evernote at work and couldn't live without it at this point (http://www.evernote.com/pub...) and it is invaluable to me for project organization (http://www.evernote.com/pub...). Like you said, to each his own... but one reason I like Evernote is... more... - Lindsay

Actually, this is the first time I've used Friendfeed in this way, and it seems a whole lot nicer than Twitter for impromptu chats about a subject with people you aren't already following... - Levi Wallach

agree it flows nicely for chats - Randy Pollock

Twitter is a product? http://instantrimshot.com - Bwana ☠

@Lindsay - Thanks for the link! I'm still trying to find my workflow with Evernote and I think this will help. - Angelo Stavrow

@Levi - that would be making the assumption that Twitter is superior to FriendFeed. Personally I don't think that's the case. But Leo didn't clarify, so it is a bit ambiguous which one he prefers. - Lindsay

FF more robust that twitter. Can you do what we are doing in twitter right now? - Randy Pollock

Shovebox and Evernote: Any cool ways to use both? - Wo

Thanks Leo, thats exactly what I was looking for! Something to tie everything together in one place, excellent! - cowboybill

I can't get my head around ff, seems impossible to get an overview of whats going on. - Ru Viljoen

....and here we go again. Didn't we just debate this? Stop comparing the two services. Friendfeed is not Twitter, and Twitter is not Friendfeed. They are different services IMO. But, I'm sure I'll get the exact same arguments that popped up in the last discussion. - Fleagle

I've started to use both ff and twitter, but am finding I use them for very different reasons, and don't think they're really competing products. One doesn't need onenote if they have evernote though. - Barry

I like a free service called WebNotes. It really saved my butt when I was working on a research paper. - Ramona

I prefer One Note. Better organization and document embedding. But then again I use a winmo phone as well. May feel different if I had an iPhone. I work in IT and for projects, nothing beats one note and I am using it to organize my life as well. - Jared

While I believe this is certainly true, I sense a vague sense of bitterness. - Camden

I just love Evernote! They are a very good program! - Lawrence Cabal

Both applications have their niche. - johnny

That's hilarious! Let me guess...just because you get to use it on a Mac? Get over that MS complex. - Adi

I love Evernote. I used it to plan my acoustic music show on WNUR (Evanston, IL) and then when I'm on-air I access my note for that day's program with all the links that I am going to talk about all in one place - artists coming to town etc. Now that they've added the BlackBerry app it's even more useful. The cross platform thing works well too. I use a Mac for my radio show at at home, but Windows at work. - Ron Lewis

I'll disagree with you on this one Leo. OneNote is a great tool and beats EN. However, the dev team on ON seems very slow lately. They need to step it up. - LPH™ and his dog P™

I use OneNote and Evernote. My OneNote is synchronised via SharePoint, so for me it is available across multiple machines. The sync is seamless too, I dont have to click anything to make it happen, it just works. - Pete Gilbert

Cross platform support wins every time, and continues to be Microsoft's biggest weakness. Plus Evernote is exactly the kind of desktop/cloud hybrid software that Microsoft should be developing but isn't. - Eric P

@LPH - What makes OneNote beat Evernote in your opinion? @Pete Evernote's sync is seemless too... It happens automatically from cloud to client and vice versa and you can have clients on as many computers/phones as you need. - Lindsay

I just started using Evernote, I've used OneNote for about a year. I have to say that right now OneNote is the better product. I can see that Evernote will surpass OneNote in the future. One feature I wish Evernote had is tooltips, they make learning a new UI much easier. - Kolomona

@Kolomona - Maybe you'll answer since no one else has yet... what makes OneNote a better product than Evernote in your opinion? - Lindsay

I aggree, EverNote is up right now, but I will be intrested to see what happens when Office 14 is released and OneNote has a web version. - Sean Cantellay

Even if Evernote were the inferior of the two products, it's free and that means a *lot* to us mere mortals. - Brett Kelly

I use both, but OneNote is so far superior, at least for me. I love all the tabs as that is how my mind works for organization. I access it many times a day and it is portable as the files are stored on a USB drive. I have never been as organized as I am now. Actually I miss some of the features that were in Evernote 2. - Jim Corkrum

gotta disagree with you here Leo. OneNote is a far far better tool than Evernote. It isn't even a contest. Where Evernote wins is in a client on every platform that allows for syncing. But that's it. As far as i'm concerned the Evernote client itself is weak, regardless of platform. - Jamie

I can now throw away all those bits of paper after I've taken a snapshot into Evernote (using iClarify for iPhone) - Daniel Carroll

Evernote is like taking notes in Notepad/Wordpad/Word. Yes it does work...just feels like the rest. But as far as "Stream of Consciousness" type note taking. You want the environment to have very few hard rules. I need to be able to put side notes and draw lines that link one thought with another, WITHOUT having to stop and wonder, well how can I do that. One Note is paper on my screen. Evernote is text in a box. They both work, different styles. - David Messner

@David Messner if you think Evernote is just text in a box, you've never actually used Evernote. Text in a box is the one thing I have almost never done with Evernote. I email web pages to it, pictures of documents, receipts, pdf's, restaurant menus, tax forms; etc. Anything that I could want to have access to from anywhere. One Note is great and I use it regularly at work. But I can't... more... - Nathan Mylott

Evernote rocks!, That's about it :) - Rocio Flores

I agree.. been using it for almost a year, paying subscriber.. It's saved my butt on many occasions. - Randall Hand

I still prefer OneNote. It's easier to organize. Inking feels much better. The thing that really sets it apart is that you can record audio and ink notes at the same time. So when looking back at your notes, you can play the back the audio at the exact moment in time you inked a line. That's very nice to remember why you inked that particular line since you can reference the recorded audio. Plus, I love that you can Print to a Onenote document. I use that all the time. - Rodfather

You can print to PDF which can go straight into Evernote as well. I don't use voice notes much so that functionality hasn't really been useful to me. As far as being easier to organize info, I disagree because I always felt very stifled by OneNote's tab system (I don't like hierarchical organization systems because my thought process to find a bit of info may not be the same from day to... more... - Lindsay

I was a diehard OneNote user until I went to Mac OS X and it's the one application I really miss. I liked OneNote better (note how I said that) because it fit better with how I would want to organize written notes. OneNote also scales up better as your notes get longer, more hierarchical, and more detailed. It also has the options to get stuff into the program that Evernote has, but... more... - John Infante

Brian

Looking at the numbers for the last week or two: FriendFeed subscribers +12 per day. Twitter followers -5 per day. At some point, I think this is going to mean something about the relevance of these networks to me in relation to each other.
