I know it seems silly to care about a social networking site but it represents one of the best years of my life. I have meet some great people, made a very close friend I see as a brother and learnt things that have opened my eyes to a million points of view... To see that thrown aside by a person in a one line, misspelled, comment on a thread kinda stings... Silly I know, but.............. - Johnny

I have spent many years on the Internet and probably easily the last half dealing with different social networking. There have been very few places I considered special. Friend Feed is definitely one of them. - Brent - Yes I am

All ideas - all things - in the world have opposition, why should Friendfeed be any different? Some of that opposition is going to be ruthless, that's the way things are. I would not read to much into it - Mo Kargas

I've noticed a lot of weird, angsty, juvenile behavior on FF lately, too. The block and hide buttons on my keyboard are really getting a workout. Like CW, I get to connect with people here that I can't meet IRL through any other means. This may be one of those times when we need to hang a little tighter and wait out the knuckleheads. - ha3rvey (likes fritos)

Wait, what did I miss? - Rochelle

@Rochelle A few large Anti-FF tirades, insults traded. The usual net troll attacks - Mo Kargas

Rochelle, nothing. Just got reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally fired up in my head over some stuff I have read and then took stock of what it was... More like a self-realization that I must focus on the people here more rather than the logo at the top of the page. It's just kinda hard to explain the personal interactions and friends I have here in a website's forum... - Johnny

An emotional moment, Rochelle. ;-) - Ton Zijp

Love you, JW. - Derrick

Back at ya D-Man - Johnny

You can't make people see what they can't see. The value of FF, blogging (or climbing, model railroads, square dancing, mushroom gathering, crocheting, nudism, and just about any activity) only becomes apparent once you have done it and *invested* in it enough. There's this "critical mass" moment where things suddenly start to "click". Think about how many other social platforms you have signed up on and which didn't click - probably because you didnt stay around and invest in it long enough for it to happen - you might dismiss these as not working, but probably they work very well for the people who did. - Iphigenie
