Allen, I don't disagree with your FF comment, however people are already moving to other services, so Twitter could well eventually die. Growing chunks of my Australian Twitter friends are on Plurk now for example. PS: love the headline, couldn't have written it better myself. - Duncan Riley
probably i have a smaller group of friends, but they predominantly use twitter from the web page maybe two, three times a day. not sure they see the outages to the extent that this crowd does and they certainly aren't looking at substitute services. it has been quite difficult moving them to friendfeed - too much noise is what i hear. - rob zand
Leo, I think you could really make a strong push for people moving to FF. - Ryan Cates
I've thrown myself on those rocks before. I keep wondering how long before people start wandering away from Twitter. I've gradually phased it out and phased in FF myself. But I still use Twitter to broadcast - I have 6x the followers there. The two are really symbiotes. - Leo Laporte
I like the support for attached images very much! - Fu_
symbiotes. i like that. mutually beneficial. totally agree Leo. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
I've wandered away from Twitter. They've could have rebuilt it from scratch by now. What gives? - Dan Lovejoy
We need to crowd source the TWiTnation for something on the Mac to bring our Twitter follows over to FF. - Ryan Cates
Hope the new software helps, can't wait to see if I notice any changes. Hope you feel better. - Kyle DeFacis
Sorry Leo, but you have to take care of your health. - mark dekruyter
Hope ya feel better! You keep getting me addicted to new social web 2.0 sites! - Mike
Hope your are feeling better Leo... - John Spencer
Leo: we're ordering a Tricaster for the new Mahalo studios in Santa Monica. which one should we get? - Jason Calacanis
That depends on whether your cameras are sending SDI or Analog video. For the cameras we're using, which send S-Video, the Studio is fine. If you want to support HD or other SDI cameras you'll have to go with the Broadcaster - Leo Laporte
Leo, we’re setting up two studios for clients and one for us here; what cameras are you using? We are looking at the studio but were told that we would have better quality of pictures streaming using HDMI. - Kevin Tunis
sorry about that Leo; hope you feel better. and thanks for finally convincing me to try FriendFeed - joecab
heat a healthy amount of red wine, add honey and cinnamon. Drink when it's hot but not enough to burn you. If it doesn't make you feel better, at least you won't care a damn bit ;o) - cecilia via twhirl
Hope you are doing better soon. Take care. - Robert
Does it get a little full then breaks, making it useless? - Vince DeGeorge
Well played, Vince DeGeorge... well played! :) - Bill Sodeman
Reminds me of a ceramic stein of another Fail. My commemorative Time Magazine give-away mug: microwaving it causes only the mug to heat up, thus kindly protecting the liquid from temperature shift. Worth every penny I didn't spend on it. - Micah Wittman

Useful advice as I try to make FF my new Twitter. There's lots to understand about the FF interface. Anyone else have any "secret" tips/? - Leo Laporte
I can't seem to find it, but there's a Windows Twitter to FriendFeed converter script that will send invites to all your Twitter friends to subscribe to your FriendFeed. - Jesse Stay via twhirl
Jesse: Not sure about the script you're referring to but this script - http://internetducttape.com/20... - will add your Twitter friends to FF. I've been meaning to run it but haven't yet. I'll do it tonight and report back. - Leo Laporte
That's cool Bwana - for iPhone users - anyone have a Blackberry FF client? - Leo Laporte
Leo, here's another handy Greasemonkey script for filtering your FF stream by service http://snurl.com/2en81 e.g. view only Flickr, view only Tumblr, etc. - Mike Doeff
@Leo, http://fftogo.com is a decent friendfeed blackberry client. I do not use it much but it is way better anything else I have seen. - Rob Diana
Leo: fftogo works well on the blackberry (so I've heard) but you need to change your font size in fftogo (scroll to the bottom and click on settings). I'm the developer for fftogo so if you want any improvements I'm your man. - Benjamin Golub via fftogo
So it does, Benjamin - but I hate going to the BB browser. What font size works best? Trying 9 right now. - Leo Laporte
I'm not sure since I don't have a BB but I've heard that the default (which works great on my Moto Q9c) is way too big on the BB. - Benjamin Golub
@bgolub thanks for implementing font size :) - Alex Gawley
Just joining FF, it's different but it does seem nice and simple =) - John Tyra
Lots of folks who have not used the "hide" feature have not seen the options available. I love the g-monkey script tabs, but hey -- why not also try what's already here. BTW, here's Duncan Riley's great index of FF tabs: http://userscripts.org/users/5... - Dan Covington
This post has helped me to understand FriendFeed better than anything else I've read. Thanks. - Larry Huffman
Good, common-sensical ways to be relevant and get the most from FriendFeed - Ron Emrick via Alert Thingy
Font size change helps on BB Pearl. Tks! - Tom via fftogo
