Is this what you do all day Mr. Laporte? Surf the Internet looking for ways to look down on your fellow Americans because their political views differ from yours? It's a shame TechTV/G4 fired you. You might just have the right level of maturity to host Hurl. Nah, maybe you're not that mature... - Laura Smith via twhirl

I enjoy listening and watching Leo, Dvorack, etc. when it comes to technology discussions. The more I see the higher echelon of FF and Twitter talk about politics, the more I wish there was a filter I could apply. I mean, this was just a funny picture that gives Obama supporters another means to look down on people who do not support Obama, but I've seen Dvorack's outrageous blog post about Palin's children, and I've read Scoble's mistatements regarding Huckabee's speech at the convention. - Charles LePage

The democrats' signs were much slicker. With every speaker at the DNC they passed out new ones -- there were hillary ones, biden ones, michelle etc. all beautifully printed on nice sanded sticks. Not a hand painted sign in the crowd, all the perfectly the same, and no chance for a misspelling. Good stagecraft. The hand painted signs make me cringe from a design/spell check pov, but they are authentic. - Jay Tannenbaum

What is this? The Republican Friendfeeders coming in to comment swiftboat style? Lighten up for Christ's sake! Obviously you've yet to discover what a sense of humour is. Let me know when you find one and I'll teach you how to install it. - Mark O'Neill

Geez, Mark, maybe you could lighten up a little. The Republicans were commenting on the headline, which was perhaps uncharitable and directed at them. I think Leo is great, and I think Dvorak has no problem taking care of himself. They are completely entitled to their opinions outside the world of tech. That's why I subscribe to them. We live in a great country, don't we? - Jay Tannenbaum

Misspelling and bad grammar goes across the board, even at MoveOn (http://skitch.com/chilimac/i87...). I've been known to make a mistake once in a while my self. I know, shocking. Maybe that will be the next big tech idea. Electronic campaign posters with built in spell checker. - ChiliMac

Mark, from Wikipedia: "Swiftboating is American political jargon that is used as a strong pejorative description of some kind of attack that the speaker considers unfair or untrue—for example, an ad hominem attack or a smear campaign. Most accurately, it refers to the repudiation of a politician's personal history by people who were present as that history was made." Does the speaker (Leo) consider my comment to be untrue? - Charles LePage

if he's maverick whose goose ?his lady friend he just hooked up maybe. LOL. - nick

This might be the first time I've ever had anything good to say about AT&T. Nice job. - Aaron Krug

Don't talk about data pricing until you start paying a dollar a Gig in NZ and lets not talk Iphone pricing either - Nick Brennan

A welcome contribution I see. Great work with Roz. Good on AT&T. - Vince Green

Thank you AT&T - Andrew Fielding via twhirl

I was using a business calling card to call Roz's Iridium satellite phone. I had no idea it would cost $13.80 per minute until I got the first bill. Of course by then I had racked up over $10,000 in calls. It costs Roz only $1/minute to call me from the sat phone, so that's how we're doing it now. I should have, of course, checked the tariff. I even remember reading some time ago that calling card calls are the most expensive out there. Fortunately, AT&T knocked it down to the lowest rate available. - Leo Laporte

wonder if iridium phones are used by anyone except "extreme" sports people who climb everest or row across the ocean? - Wilma Stoneflint

AT&T is still the Devil.. But this is a cool thing :) - Tim

shocked to hear AT&T actually do good... they never part with $$$ ...interesting. Very happy for you Leo, cuz that was one nasty phone bill!! Did you drop out of your chair when you read it?! - Susan Beebe

I like the idea of friendfeed - but the simplicity of twitter is its appeal. I wonder where Pownce and Jaiku will sit in this msg evolution - dann weatherhead

I have a feeling that this time things gonna better than the Jaiku move. - Du Senyao Peter

i havent been able to make the move - are there twitteriffic-like apps for FF as well? that would help my jump... - Andy Beach

This is funny, I just signed up for a twitter account. With what appears to be a mass exodus from twitter to other services, is there any point in me building up a network over there? - Eddy Cole

I want to make FF part of my routine, but it's just so damn cluttered -- plus I don't see any mobile integration yet. It's almost there, but it just needs a little more work to really take the Twitter throne - Noah Mittman

I remain a bit grumpyabout FF; I cannot shake the feeling that I am only here because Twitter failed me so many times. Anyway, here I am! - sage brennan via twhirl

I have left twitter also, but now use Plurk. With the newly added search, I can find conversations about just about any topic. - Jon

I am really liking FF for conversations. I like Twitter for status/presence updates. Isn't that what is was designed for? Want to know where I am, and what I am having for lunch? Check Twitter. Want to know what I am interested in and reading? Check Friendfeed. - Sean Brady

I just created a FF account too. It's a shame. I love Twitter. - Matthew Vaughan

I don't get the big Hoopla. FriendFeed is a Commenting System and a Medium to get Content on. Twitter is a Messaging system. Sure you can (pressed enter here accidentally) 'switch over', but really, Twitter could be thought to be something completely different than friendfeed - Chacha via twhirl

I'd like to see more of my twitter friends using a "lifestream" commenting system like FF, or see Twitter turn reliable and then add a better threading system for replies.. but until someone gets their act together I am happy using something that has the capability to do very similar things. So I'm happy to be caught up in the current migration toward a meme that works. Update: and one that is editable;-) - Curtis "Winer" Cross via twhirl

i had to disconnect for a few months due to family health issues , missed it , but Im back on it now , friendfeed seems to be the "watercooler" now - johnpiercy

Eddy Cole, the services are completely different. Try them both out. Many people, myself included, use both services. For some reason people want to make this a contest between Twitter and FF. - Mike Doeff

@Mike thats what I've been trying to say, Twitter is a messaging service, FF is a Aggregator/Commentor. Very, Very Different - Chacha via twhirl

thanks Graham - I had no idea twhirl support FF as well! - Andy Beach

@Mike, thanks. I'll give both a shot and see what happens. - Eddy Cole

Chacha, totally agree. Baffles me why people continue to compare apples to oranges on this. This blog post is worth reading... http://www.winextra.com/2008/0... - Mike Doeff

I am in the conversion process. And actually what it seems is that you don't have to abandon twitter, FF will just post for you - Edward

I found myself doing this a couple weeks ago. Every time I wanted to go to twitter it was down, so I just started using ping.fm to post, and following all my feeds of FF. I agree with the ease of conversation on FF. - Melissa Goetsch

I still using both but FriendFeed is more interesting to follow and comment on. - Judy Jones

FF definitely has some nice advantages over Twitter (or probably more over Jaiku for that matter) which people with tons of scattered content can benefit from. On the other hand there are still tons of features I'd love to see added here (esp. on an API level). In the meantime, FF just has to hit the web-mainstream ;-) - Horst Gutmann

I would like FF a lot more if it pulled in my friends from other services. As of right now, all it really seems to do is aggregate my lifestream. I'm too lazy to manually add each rss feed to FF, and there's no way my friends are going to sign up for FF, after it was a giant PITA to get them to sign up for twitter. - Austin Brown

Is there an iPhone client for FriendFeed? I do alot of messaging on the go. - Robert Hafer via twhirl

"but lends itself better to conversation.” could you quantify with your own experience as to what it means "Bettter conversation" ?

On Leo! One! Chaud devant! --french people will understand ;-) - directeur via NoiseRiver

@Austin That is what imaginary friends option in FF is for. You can add most of the services. There are several guides, linked to in this very thread and others available by googling that give you the info you need to set it up so they can have the freedom of using twitter, etc... and let you have the option of moving.. It doesn't have to be a competition between FF and Twitter. But if you are tired of all the loss of function, and downtime of twitter as I think most of us are.. going FF broadens your options to something that at present is useful to you;-) - Curtis "Winer" Cross via twhirl

Yep just found someone I follow on FF, don't on Twitter, and I thought, what's the point of following them on Tw? 8-\ - Brian Carter

btw Leo, you gotta read this too -- http://friendfeed.com/e/7772aa... - Peter Dawson

@Brian Carter was that person me ;) ? I think this weekend showed how friend feed can fill the void of being connected and following the thoughts of those who we have grown to trust online. Since then, I have noticed that the traffic on twitter (at least for me) has gone down significantly by the people I was following and didn't really know in person or know well. My inner circle are still using twitter and the mobile factor is still huge. The real question is can I still be active on FF while at work. - Andrea Baker

Reasons desktop app for friendfeed is not as usable as webpage: 1. usually quicker to navigate high volume on web page. 2. desktop app will surely be chasing new functionality (i.e. retwitter comment feature on FF web but not in twhirl). - Boris Gordon via twhirl

Thank you, Andy - Robert Hafer

hey Leo, you should try Friendfeed in Twhirl, just click on the Twhirl logo and add Friendfeed as a new account, already 5% of all the comments there - Loic Le Meur

I just wish FF had a way to dynamically collapse conversations for clear view of post titles. And then selectively expand the comments to see that conversation. It would be like a dynamic feed reader. - Ernie Oporto
