WOOOHOOO! Exactly what I've been waiting for! - Bradley McSpinn

And now...we see if FF will kill Twitter. Probably not but, I bet a lot of others will remove their Twitter feeds as well. - Candace

Great. Now we can't hide your Twitter updates without also hiding your FF updates. There's a trade-off for everything! :-) - Josh Bancroft

I gotta get an invite /code to ping.fm. Anyone have any? Let me know at evanstj (at) gmail. - Tim from Alert Thingy

@Tim - Tell them to use beta code "pingyoulater" so they can get in on the beta action! - Bradley McSpinn

Josh, I don't think you understand - I've completely removed my Twitter account link from here to keep from reposting the same stuff unnecessarily. This makes things better for everyone, not worse. Ping.fm is becoming an indispensable "native updates" tool. If you use both Twitter and FriendFeed, you need to use Ping.fm to post the same thing to both places (and then, potentially remove Twitter from FriendFeed). - l0ckergn0me

Can I ask sort of a dumb question as I try to to unify my online world? I can see how ping.fm will help me send the same message to various networks, but how are most of you then reading all the responses afterwards? Aren't we stuck having to go to six different networks to read all the various and separate responses? - Neil Kramer

I've been waiting for this as well. Awesome! - Joanmarie

Chris, I understand what ping.fm does, and what you're doing. Partly, I'm giving you a hard time. And partly, I'm making the argument that Twitter is just as good a "native updates" tool - a place to write - as ping.fm. This is why I love FriendFeed - I don't have to care, and be on the same tool, to get updates. Let us know how it goes! - Josh Bancroft

Neil, I don't think that's a dumb question -- mainly because I've been asking it myself lately. :-) Maybe we need a reverse ping.fm to get all of those updates in one place. I've considered using friendfeed to make a bunch of "imaginary friends" to add their services, but that will take a long time. So.... I dunno.... It is an issue. - Joanmarie

Whoooooooo! Ping.fm FTW! - Joe

Thanks! I just did the same. The other thing I just did was to remove Tumblr from Ping.fm -- I'm going to use Tumblr primarily for images, video and audio and put them and an occasional text post there directly. So far everything is making it across as I want it to Facebook too. I have the Ping.fm and Tumblr apps installed there. It was a bit wacko figuring out how to glue everything together correctly - and be able to do it from my iPhone. Swurl can have it all however it gets there. Now -- about WordPress :). - Jeff Evans

i had already removed twitter from ff - ping.fm rocks! - Dieter Schwarz

What is ping.fm? ... Ah, got it. - Ansgar Wollnik

What web page or app (for OS X, Ubuntu, & Windoze) reads all I'm following on Twitter, FF and indenti.ca ? Facebook I can do direct. - Jeff Evans

Agree ... but haven't figured out a good SIMPLE way to reply to a "tweet" using ping.fm ... FF comments stay "in house" - Christopher Perry

Not bad reply tweet in friendfeed,twitter is also a social web service. - Chris Qie

Thank gawd someone finally sees the light - Steven Hodson

I'm trying the same thing, but now I have to browse my microblog sites (twitter, pownce, identi.ca) sites manually in order to see replies. Unless I take the time to bring in all my friends to FF. - Bill Bittner

My name is Bwana, and I approve this message - Bwana ☠

I didn't add FriendFeed to Ping.FM, only Twitter. I guess it is the reverse situation, but works. - David Risley

Nice so doing this - adolfo foronda

I tried updating Friendfeed from Ping.fm using the @ff but it didn't work. - Steve Rubel

so just a sec, does that mean no more responding via friendfeed to twitter if everyone does this? We'd have to visit both sites no? - Zee.

I thought everybody likes FF cause you can interact with everything here. how do you interact with twitter from FF if your twitter is not incorporated? (that said, I am considering removing twitter from FF myself but for entirely different reasons.) - Sebastian Keil

Why? What's wrong with just importing Twitter? - Pat Hawks

I find myself not bothering with ping.fm (as cool as it is) simply because its write-only. - Hal Rottenberg from twhirl

FriendFeed should work within Ping.fm again, but no word from FriendFeed as to what happened - and if it'll get blocked again. I don't know anybody at FriendFeed. - l0ckergn0me

Great tip! - Mark Nassal

umm... like "one ping to rule them all"? - Laura Scott (@lauras) from Alert Thingy

fantastic tip! I just did the same! Done and done! - Jeff McCord from twhirl

FF is working from Ping.fm at this time, but there is a disclaimer... - Robert

How are you guys getting your ping.fm stuff into FF at this point? - Robert

Well, finally a reason to use my ping.fm account. I'm going to give this a shot. :) - Dennis Jackson

Posting to FF via Ping.fm does not seem to be working after a couple tests. Sad. Must be the rate limit thing. Hope it comes back. - Dennis Jackson

That sucks... They changed there message and said they were working to bring it back... - Robert

friendfeed shares usually include something 'useful' whereas twitter is something to be filtered out more times than not. in removing your friend feed and replacing it by being posted 'directly' into the system you reduced the value of your ff shares. - Nicole Simon
