friendfeed works pretty darned good on the iPhone/iPod Touch - Tad - just Tad

I've found that Friendfeed only half works on my mobile browser - Mel Francis

It works ok on an iPhone, but a more mobile-friendly version (like Google Reader or Twitter clients like Hahlo) would be easier and more fun to use. - Bryan Landers

I can use it with my BlackBerry browser, but limited functionality. For instance, I can't "like" anything. I also can't add friends. - Harvey Simmons

Loic, instead why not build a web/ mobile version of Twhirl? Or even better, make it a download for mobiles - Duncan Riley via twhirl

I agree there should be a m.friendfeed.com. But with MojiPage (http://sb.mojipage.com/u/wil1/) you can get about 3/4 of FF on your phone... mobile rendering, Like and Comment links. But still no Share Something or threaded conversations... unles I just can't figure it out. Why did FF not think to have m.FF? - Mark Arend via Alert Thingy

I use FF all the time on my iPhone. - Francine Hardaway

Duncan, we should talk about that! - Loic Le Meur

I would love to see a mobile optimized version of FF. Although FF does mostly work on an iPhone, it's not the most compelling experience. Methinks it would be a lot more user friendly if there was an actual mobile and/or iPhone version of FF available for use. - Scott Jarkoff

@BretTaylor @Paul Buchheit - Hey Loic is asking a terrific question, which echos my previous request! I've been asking about a mobile version "m.friendfeed.com" site too. When can we get this?? ;-) - Susan Beebe

While we're on the topic of FF "feature requests," FF definitely needs some kind of @user reply support for comments which mention folks in the manner @susan just mentioned @bret and @paul. Otherwise, unless I'm mistaken, those people will never see the comment and have no idea something is being said "to" them. - Scott Jarkoff

I think FriendFeed looks good on an iPod Touch. - Mike Reynolds

There is no reason someone couldn't make their own m.friendfeed.com. The API exposes everything you'd need (comments/likes/etc). I've considered doing it myself.... - Benjamin Golub

I think the @ feature is the biggest feature missing from ff. Its how I find new people on twitter. It really doesn't work as well on ff. - Nelson de Witt

I know everyone love teh iPhone but what about those of us that don't have it and won't be getting one? :T - Jennie Lin

Opera browser on the blackberry renders it pretty well - Tim Connors

Opera Mini on my N95 works too! - Adrian Scicluna

try this: m.hellotxt.com - Mauro Del Rio via twhirl

Yes I've already suggested that. We need a mobile friendly friendfeed. - Svartling

I would have to agree the m.friendfeed.com for my Treo would make me a happy camper. - Mathew A. Koeneker

Come on guys. Make a mobile/iPhone optimized version of FF already. - James

We do need an optimized mobile/iPhone page for friendeed. The regular site is ok but it's not quite good enough....unless you want eye strain headaches.. - Mike Lewis

Happy to know it works well on the iphone but I only use a blackberry these days. This reminds me I want the new one! - Loic Le Meur via twhirl

If I had this mobile, I'd never get anything done!! - Charlie Anzman

I use a new BlackBerry Curve 8830 and FriendFeed does NOT work on it. twitter does... come'on FriendFeed we want MORE free features! ;-)~ - Susan Beebe

The FF login page breaks on Opera Mini 4.1. Don't know about the rest of FF yet. - Morton Fox

Does FF work in browsers that don't support AJAX? Progressive enhancement is a frontend engineering best practice that makes it possible for any website to work in a mobile browser without a separate subdomain. AJAX should be a "bonus" for browsers that support it, not a requirement for the site's basic functionality. - Jason Wehmhoener

I've been talking about this for a while, we definitely need some way to get functionality on all mobile devices. Great it works on an iPhone but we haven't all got iPhones. If we're not going to have m.ff then we need a mobile client that covers ALL bases. - Colin Walker

No, seriously, not "m." - doing it properly is so much better. The mobile web needs to die. There is just 'the web'. - Tom Morris

second that. both that we need it, and that we dont need m. we just need a version that knows where its shown on. or some app like twibble for FF. - kosmar

Wow it sure be hard to read the volume of content on any mobile device - Tim FitzGerald

“Why can't Twitter be a platform for topic discussion? It seems like most discussion is meaningless and not very valuable to anyone”

It's because the really interesting Tweets roll out of sight within minutes. Here on FriendFeed the most interesting stuff keeps popping up to top. - Robert Scoble

I told Twitter about your FriendFeed page. Hope that brings an interesting discussion of this Tweet and the one about long-tail blogging too. - Robert Scoble

Heh well if Twitter don't make the functionality, someone else will. Robert and I started a discussion and brought it here. Hell, if they asked for money (friendfeed), I'd prolly pay. Now, about that ZUNE.... I could give a rip about it buuuuuuut, there's this whole xbox integration thing. ;) I'll hit you up in a another channel hehe - Eric Rice

Twitter has always seemed like a tool to inspire conversation to be taken elsewhere due to the character limit & how easy it is to miss something. - Mel Francis

I have not had great luck starting conversations on Twitter, but it has led to many discussions outside of Twitter. - Terry Morawski

Good point - something I've been thinking about. I joined the Twitter community to glean info&weigh in on "bleeding edge" convos. I try&take a look in the mirror - I can certainly be a better contributor. - Sonciary Honnoll

Twitter is the great conversation platform but it's needed personal tuning - Igor Poltavskiy

FriendFeed is filling that discussion need... I guess - Rob Greenlee

Thanks Robert for sharing my Tweet on FriendFeed... Discussion is raging now - Rob Greenlee

Friendfeed should be called "TopicTalk" - Rob Greenlee
