And the irony is that I opted out of the blog pack due to concerns over it's operation but my post voicing those concerns has generated a lot of traffic and comments ;) - Colin Walker
Duncan Riley has got a fever. A fever... for more FriendFeed. - Louis Gray
I just wish I could give my list of specs to someone to build the perfect client :-) They're all good, but they all lack in some way as well - Duncan Riley
Twhirl keeps opening links in a new firefox/flock browser window instead of a new tab on my mac. *hate that*. Also doesn't seem to recognize Flock on Windows - keeps opening up in IE *hate that too* - Kamath via twhirl
@Kamath As far as I know, the AIR clients tend to use whatever the "default browser" is on the system. - Rob Diana
yeah same - whatever the default is for me. - Dave Gray via twhirl
I have to restart twhirl at least once a day. Memory utilization can sometimes reach 300M+. Anyone else noticing this? I have 2G on my laptop so it's not that big of a deal, but it's annoying nonetheless. It's fun watching twhirl compete with Firefox to see who can reach the 300M mark first, though. - Jeff Brewster
@Jeff I have the same exact situation (twhirl/firefox competition), but only 1GB of RAM. It would be nice if at least one of them didn't leak all over. - elroy via twhirl
Twhirl has done wonders for me on Twitter, but I doubt any app will replace Friendfeed on web. - Shey
I primarily use FriendFeed.com, Twitter.com, the Google Reader + Twitter script, the TwitIt bookmarklet, the FriendFeed bookmarklet, and the new "share with note" within Google Reader. - Mike Reynolds
I've commented on the memory use by Thwirl in the past as well. Especially if you keep it open for a while. Some sort of memory leak perhaps? - Steven Van Tilburg via twhirl
I want to like Twhirl, but yes, it is a memory hog that rivals Firefox in the memory leak department. After awhile, I can't even send a tweet using Twhirl because the whole app has locked up. Worse still when you're using FF and Twitter at the same time. - David Risley
Works fine for me. And I'm running Vista @David :D - Shey
I gave up fighting this battle in 1991, when the PR spam came in the form of streetmail, FedExes and faxes. I hope you younger Turks have better luck with this battle than I did. - Mitch Wagner
Wow - life comes full circle. Mitch, you were the very first reporter I ever talked to when I worked in PR during the first bubble. It was something about Sun and Java - I don't remember - but you scared the hell out of me. ; ) - Carla Thompson
Sorry to hear that, Carla. What did I do? - Mitch Wagner
hey Mitch, I was one of those people packing those FedEx boxes and assembling those press kits. My GOD it's so easy for these whippersnappers! - Cyndy
@Mitch, likely nothing. I was just super green. ; ) Where are you these days? - Carla Thompson
I've posted this before... but as FriendFeed has grown quite a bit in the interim, this may be new to you. Here's a dedicated group in Facebook to talk FriendFeed tips, tricks and news with fellow FriendFeeders. - Louis Gray
Twitter needs one, so when it's down we can all go see if we can crash Facebook's servers by Twittering within FB. - Jack Carlson
Isn't it odd to discuss FF away from FF? I feel like the community is already here, why try to replicate it on another service. Just click the "everyone" tab and dive in! - Carter Rabasa
@Carter it seems logical to me -- another way to unite FriendFeeders -- can you imagine how long it would take to reach everyone on FF through likes and comments? (assuming most ppl still have a FB account) - Shey
I so much wait for a calendar view on created/modified date with color coded tagged files (objects)... first OS who gets that as standard will so win me over :) - Dani Radu
"Sometimes, it's an issue of the news cycle. Even though I'm considered to be one of the sources to go to about FriendFeed news, I didn't "cover" their API launch or their addition of search. By the time I had sat down to blog, it was everywhere...
But regarding your API, to me, it's the results of the API, and how others are using it, which is more interesting than the API itself. Maybe you'll give me a heads up on some new tools as they debut." - Louis Gray
"Sarah, glad you like it. I don't know how much use it would be to do this big a summary on a regular basis, but I definitely watch these sites as they grow. One of the hardest things is "letting go" and realizing some of these services are growing up and getting beyond me. When I see them issuing press releases, and getting coverage on RWW, CenterNetworks, etc., I know I'm merely a blip in their history. Guess I'll have to go find some more..." - Louis Gray
"Here's my dual answer: At the office, I interact with press releases all day long. My name goes out on top of a lot of them. In that world, they are a necessity.
BUT ... in the blog world, I'd usually prefer not to get them for a few reasons. 1) I know the story isn't exclusive, so since I'm not as big as others, my noise will be muted (See the Seesmic/Disqus announcement from today). 2) It's more fun to trade e-mail with the people behind a service, or to do a legit review. The press release doesn't usually add value for me in this space. All it provides is the timing for any embargo." - Louis Gray
"And just who do you think Scoble got hooked on FriendFeed from? :-)
Thanks for the notes, Corvida. I'm just nervous I'll have nothing left to play show and tell with now!" - Louis Gray
This is (I think) why I like FriendFeed so much. I don't have to make allll those choices. - Robert Seidman
I was thinking the same thing this morning while reading Disqus/Seesmic integration. While considered, its now growing impossible to start a chart about what integrates with what, much less keep up with those most valuable. Some of us geeks really do work for a living... - JCunwired
