FriendFeed Is In Danger Of Becoming The Coolest App No One Uses - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...

"FriendFeed is a *vastly* superior platform to Twitter. Both in terms of lifestreaming as well as the bigger piece of the pie, search. Try this. do a search for photography on Twitter: http://search.twitter.com/search... Now do a search for photography on FriendFeed with 5 likes are more: http://beta.friendfeed.com/filter... Do you really need any more of a comparison between the two? Twitter will be an interesting place to follow the mundane lives of celebrities, sort of like myspace, but the more interesting community, content and discovery will take place at FriendFeed. It’s only a matter of time. The fact that Twitter was earlier and is larger today is about as relevant as the fact that Yahoo was earlier and larger than Google once upon a time long, long, ago."

I hope that is not true! But, I'm still not sure the new UI will do much to attract new users. I'm stil trying to get use to it!
- Jeff P. Henderson
Thomas, FF mangled your second URL (the FF search on photography). Could you repair it to help prove your point here? I think this is the URL http://beta.friendfeed.com/search...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
The funny thing, like Louis Gray just pointed out, is the fact that Twitter didn't even build it's own search and wouldn't be comparable to FriendFeed if it hadn't bought Summize.
- Mitch
This is a great opportunity for a side-by-side mashup, Thomas. User enters a search string, sees the Twitter results on one side, sees the FF beta results (with likes:5) on the other...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
gee, arrington. no surprise there. he's as sensationalistic as any other tired blowhad news medium out there. i don't get the appeal of people like him, but i sense it being similar as when people claim the sky is falling there's people who are quick to fall for it
- Cee Bee
thanks Daniel, fixed it.
- Thomas Hawk
Daniel someone should build a page that does side by side search results for terms on both FF and Twitter. I remember some old Google vs. Yahoo side by side search pages from way back when. Search on Twitter is a wreck compared to FF.
- Thomas Hawk
dumb question, how do I get my twitter subscriptions to post on FF?
- nrlaskey
It's great for tech savvy folks but everyone that I show pretty much says "Um thanks but no thanks" I feel that there are only a small percentage of people that want to streamline all of their social media. The average joe moves at a much slower pace and does not require the super aggregation. It's lost on them as to why the need it. The other thing is that it strips out the unique user experience of each social networking app that most people, including myself, appreciate.

- Charlie Anzman
Nathan, go here: http://beta.friendfeed.com/natel... and add twitter. You might want to consider making your feed public instead of private as well.
- Thomas Hawk
thanks!!
- nrlaskey
@JP - why do we need to worry about FF being everything to everyone? It's amazing at what it does now for its current audience, and it's backed by successful millionaires with other world-class web apps to their credit. When people tell me they don't get FF I don't bend over backwards trying to force it on them.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
One thing that helps Twitter adoption is that there are a LOT of iPhone apps for Twitter, but only a handful of (good,free) iPhone apps for FriendFeed
- David McDonald
I will add that the new FF design is much more appealing!
- JP Holecka - Jaypiddy
hmmm...I can get 'my' posts but not other I follow...is that because I am not public?
- nrlaskey
@jp, although unfortunately still not as appealing as twitter. At least ff works a lot better, though, and for a functional perspective the new set-out is quite good.
- Joe Bland
@Joe Bland I don't use the Twitter web app as the 3rd party apps are much better from a UI and features perspective. Not sure what that mean for their biz model though. Charge for the use of the API?
- JP Holecka - Jaypiddy
The suggestion to search FF for the term photography with likes more than 5... I've never done that before, but it looks really slick in the new UI -- this suggestion may turn me around on the new UI.
- Andy Bakun
@JP Agreed the 3rd party apps are far better, but you need to install them on something, and cannot take them with you. One way I use ff is as an online twitter client.
- Joe Bland
I think more people will use FriendFeed eventually. This latest beta will probably help that along, since we can read all the discussions in realtime. There are a few limits to Twitter that FriendFeed overcomes, and it's good there's not the same 140-character limit. It just needs a few decent client programs and a chance to prove in a crunch like Twitter has. Give it time, it'll prove its worth.
- George Hall (Australia)
Actually, back in February, if I'd known as much as I know now, I'd have used FriendFeed more for piping out information on the Victorian Bushfires. FriendFeed's aggregation abilities would have helped keep all the information I had to work with in the one place, plus one wouldn't have had to contract everything into the space of that twitter limit. Twitter was good at the time, but now I'd have been using it to pipe things through to a more detailed Friendfeed.
- George Hall (Australia)
Just had a bit of a think about why Twitter is more used, even though FriendFeed is superior. At the moment, there's no equivalent as far as I can see of Twitter's public timeline, which is where most Twitter users start to see who's good to follow or subscribe to. One may actually get a clue from the discussions as to who to follow, but it's not quite as intuitive. Perhaps this is something FriendFeed can rectify soon. I'd venture a guess a public timeline would get more people using FF.
- George Hall (Australia)
An excellent suggestion from Thomas Hawk. Really; try it. "Try this. do a search for photography on Twitter: http://search.twitter.com/search... Now do a search for photography on FriendFeed with 5 likes are more: http://beta.friendfeed.com/filter... Do you really need any more of a comparison between the two?"

Sooo. Does this collect non ff twitter users?
- Phill Price
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. I also almost posted about such a feature this morning. I guess in theory I could create imaginary friends for all the twitter users I follow that are NOT on FriendFeed... is there a way to automate that? And then perhaps convert them to non-imaginary friends once they join? :)
- Dylan Parker
Some are not who they say they are.. Got a few in my list 'Mark Hobbs @patricknorton, Ron Perrella @leolaporte (private feed)' Other than those, great stuff, thought id done something like this to start with when i first signed up, guess not.
- Simon Wicks
Good stuff - thanks ...
- Patrick Jordan
Simon: we do our best to make sure someone is who they say they are before recommending them but a few could slip through the cracks. Your feedback definitely helps find the outliers.
- Benjamin Golub
oh we can also search other twitter users' friends, nice.
- Eren Emre Kanal
@Simon - noticed that too.. Some people are using FF for their personal RSS aggregator and pulling in content from other people. Most likely why they have their feed marked private.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Been waiting for this! Thanks FriendFeed!!!!!!
- Patrick Lightbody
Benjamin: Good stuff :)
- Simon Wicks
The only slight issue, which is not a big deal, is when people add other people's Twitter feeds to their FriendFeed account. In the search I got results for people who have added other people's Twitter feed to their FF account instead of the actual owners of the Twitter accounts I am following. I do this with imaginary friends. They must not know what imaginary friends are for.
- Rolf Schewe
This is cool! But noticing some bugs too. I.e. twitter/techcrunch goes to john rocker etc.
- Jauder Ho
Jauder: In that case it is likely because http://friendfeed.com/techcru... doesn't have @techcrunch added as a service. Once it is added we should recommend the correct FriendFeed account.
- Benjamin Golub
Sweet. That was easy. Nice job.
- Andrew Smith
awesome
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
No worries, I scanned the list manually and it added fine. I would suggest giving the ability to add to more than one list though. I created a new list called Twitter but would the people I just added be added to the home feed too?
- Jauder Ho
Hmm. It found 3 twitter friends for me, and none of the corresponding FF users are correct. Weird. [looks again] Oh, I get it...none of them are actually on FF, it's just that other people have imported their twitter accounts. Ugh.
- Ken Sheppardson
any chance we can get imaginary friends created automatically for twitter friends that are not using friendfeed?
- berkay
so so good...
- Zee.

Oops. Smooth. Overwhelming. Added 62 & sent 8 requests. Simply good. Waiting for the big news wave now :)
- Markus Merz
this would really rock if you could do it for Flickr as well. It would also be interesting if FF was smart enough to delete imaginary friends with the real ones as they show up at FF.
- Thomas Hawk
Find your twitter friends on friendfeed
- Sean
Given I can put in any user ID, I can pull in any followers on Twitter, period. Shouldn't this tie in to the account you have registered?
- Louis Gray
It prepopulates with the account you have registered, but we let you type in any account because the info is available on Twitter, and you may have a Twitter account that you have chosen not to connect to FriendFeed.
- Bret Taylor
Thanks, Bret.
