We're you able to get this to work? I haven't been able to. - Scott Bauer

No, it didn't work for me, either. I've got tons of Twitter friends, and I'm not going to bother creating imaginary friends for all of them. So long, losers! - Jon Galloway

It worked for me? - Scott Koon

didn't work for me either - Brett Kelly

“@a7an I've been skimming the FriendFeed API docs to see if #witty could be hooked up (as Twhirl does). Anyone else looked at that?”

I feel that changing Witty to work with FriendFeed would mean a big redesign as the two services are just not the same. - Alan Le

Sounds like a plan, time for "Fitty"! - Adam Kinney

Or how about "Fatty"? Hehe. - Ryan Farley via twhirl

"Fatty" ha! that cracked me up. - Alan Le

There would have to be a complete re-design around both binding and the simple "IMessageService" interface I threw in there. It could be done, but perhaps the Twhirl approach, e.g. a window per service, would work better? - Scott Koon via twhirl

I would take a user-centric approach. what are the primary actions on ff, secondary actions, what info is necessary, how to reduce info-overload, etc. starting with this type of brainstorming, it would probably mean creating a new client vs a client that does both twitter and friendfeed. - Alan Le

I agree. Now that I've used FriendFeed for a bit, I'm seeing how a client like AlertThingy pulls that together. With FriendFeed as a superset, I don't really need Twitter anymore. - Jon Galloway

I agree with Alan, FF has so much more info available, it would be better to design for FF than fit in an old box. - John Stockton

Where's the Witty/Fitty/Fatty room? - Adam Kinney

the founders of friendfeed are ex-googlers who led the gmail and google maps teams so my feel is they know what they're doing - Steve Eichert

nice 'Twitiots' is this the mass exodus from Twitter or am I on the tail end of it? - Kyle Burton

aren't the founders of twitter also ex-googlers? - Chris Jones

They also have at least one ex-Oracle dev. - Scott Koon via twhirl

See, I'm thinking that if I add the Twitter folk I'm following, creating imaginary friends if they don't use friendfeed, and use engtech's twitter script. FF will be a better Twitter client than Twitter. - Scott Koon via twhirl

Also... smile Jeff Atwood, you're on FriendFeed! - Jon Galloway via Alert Thingy

This is one of my favorite features of FriendFeed, though what happens when your imaginary friends really do join FF? Is it smart enough to change them into "real" friends? - Brandon Wood

shanselman is my imaginary friend - Maggie Longshore via twhirl

Jeff Atwood is already on FF, or someone has created a codinghorror account and added his Twitter and blog to it. - Scott Koon via twhirl

I'd assumed codinghorror account was imaginary. Are imaginary friends public? - Jon Galloway

No, I created one for Jeff when I got on FF and my page showed dupes of his posts after I added the codinghorror acct. - Scott Koon via twhirl

Jeff definitely has an account on friendfeed and is not imaginary. I'll try to see if he created it or something else did. - Alan Le

I've started doing the same thing, but I'm using twhirl so I can monitor both FriendFeed and Twitter. - John Bush

By the way, FriendFeed's "imaginary friends" feature is useful for keeping track of Twitter users who don't have FriendFeed accounts yet. - John Bush

Alert Thingy monitors Twitter as well. - Jon Galloway via Alert Thingy

Have you gotten the Twitter->FF importer from engtech working? I haven't had any luck. :/ - Nate Kohari
