You are seriously fast. :) - Andrew Meyer

"None of your friends use FriendFeed." -I can't help it. I've tried to convince them. *tear* - Pat Hawks

Louis, if you're going to del.icio.us a link (is that a verb?) you don't really need to FF it as well. It creates duplicate entries and you are already aggregating your bokmarks into your FF. - Marc Vermut from twhirl

I didn't FF it (except to the LouisGrayish room) - Louis Gray

You lost me on 3. Is the comments fragmentation a problem or a benefit to my friends? - Alejandro

Comments fragmentation is only a problem if you use a bunch of diffrent sites. Most people just use Facebook. - Pat Hawks

Alejandro, I was referring more to the problem of jumping around to different social sites to see what your friends are doing on those different social sites. If you and your friends only use email, Facebook and Flickr this isn't really a problem. If you and your friends use a ton of social sites, it is. - Andrew Meyer

I think people equate social networking sites to profiles, comments, and private messages. FriendFeed just isn't that. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

First time I saw FriendFeed, I thought it looked too much like Jaiku. Wasn't until later I realized it was like Jaiku except people actually used it. - Pat Hawks

My best friend from high school just joined Facebook. Yesterday. These things take time. - Louis Gray

Jason, I think the beauty of FriendFeed's conversation centralizer doesn't come into focus until you use a lot of different social sites. Most of my friends don't use a ton of social sites. - Andrew Meyer

I hope you will see that we are centralising the comments a LOT more Louis on http://fav.or.it - plus we send comments back here - to twitter - and to the blogs! - Nick Halstead

My 63 year old dad just friended me yesterday on Facebook and it freaked me out - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

I have this problem with my friends. I don't understand them. I finally got two onto plurk of all places. - SolidSmack from twhirl

@Louis: funny, a few of my high school friends and college friends have recently (< 1 month ago) discovered Facebook. Their status lines read something like "oddly addicted to this Facebook thing!" - AJ Kohn

Maybe the "friend" in Friendfeed and Facebook will evolve to let you write in the relationship or connection. My 15 year old son sent me a Facebook invite recently and there was no family category. - Larry Kless

I just saw my wife's name pop up with "...favorited photos on Flickr", so I've apparently got *someone* on board. - Roger Benningfield

I think alot of it is the difference between the early adopter crowd that flocks to things like FriendFeed and Twitter and everyone else. "Normal" people (used with affection) are attracted to social media sites in order to do specific things, accomplish specific tasks. They want to stay in touch with friends - they use Facebook or MySpace. For Normals the application is just a tool that facilitates their goal. For Early Adopters experiencing the tool itself is part of the goal. - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

@Larry.It's labeled "In my family" and it gives you a dropdown where you can specify how you are related. - Pat Hawks

If FriendFeed is used as a dashboard to manage all your social services, and responses posted here can be imported back into the source service, then it doesn't matter if your friends are on FriendFeed, right? You can use imaginary friends to import non-member content...the biggest thing missing is Facebook import to FriendFeed (SocialThing! does it, why not FF?). - Bryan Landers

FriendFeed is the first service of it's kind I've shown non-geeky friends/family and not have them laugh/snicker/confused/eye-rolling/just not caring. It's interesting how important being able to view media inline is to folks. Oh, I subbed you LG cause of your feed, plain and simple. - Jim Stanger

@Jim: Is that good or bad? Meaning, did they just not even grok it enough to laugh? ;) - AJ Kohn

AJ: Still working on that Q. Many friends/family that are plugged in at all tend to think of these tools as a waste of time. I don't count those not plugged in as they tend to view being plugged in at all as a waste of time. ;) It goes along with my belief that all these Web 2.0 web apps are, in fact, lifestyle tools more than anything else. - Jim Stanger

I was expecting "Reason #4: Your friends are losers." But seriously, a few of my friends are on Facebook, but I'm not. I have dragged a few onto LinkedIn, but two have said it's too invasive. I'm not even going to try to get them onto Friendfeed for a while. - ha3rvey (chee-la-key-les)

Hahaha @Harvey - Andrew Meyer

I'm still trying to find "One reason your friends are still on Myspace" - Pat Hawks

i use friendfeed because andrew took advantage of my situation and i love him for that - TUFTSMANIA

About 20 of my Flickr friends went to FB but after 3 months most of them left. There are about 30 hardcore Flickrites that use topics. I like FF because I can hang with the cool kids. - Russellreno

FriendFeed-sounds kind of cannibalistic,no? - Mark Forman

@Chris Sorry for freaking you out with the Imaginary Friend thing. - Andrew Meyer

My college friends are just now starting to jump on Facebook, and I just never had the desire to join myspace. Friend Feed is the juice that I am drinking. - Mathew A. Koeneker

Maybe i need new geek friends... - Freddy Montes

For me it's always "It looks interesting but I can't use it" or "I'm not into social media" or "What's wrong with x" and so forth. =\ - Jake (aka Jawee) from twhirl

Dragging friends here is futile. When we get them all here, we will be on the next big thing, so no good use of it. Just keep walking. - robertocastro

My friends aren't on Friendfeed 'cause they're not cool. Oh, well. - Chris Baskind

Well, I'm stuck following Louis Gray because he told me to. - Cyndy

LOL - that's all I follow - Louis Gray and Scoble...none of my friends get FF - James Hull

James isn't kidding. Just Scoble and me. That'd be a different experience. - Louis Gray

What proportion of FF comments are about FF? Sometimes it feels a little like lawyers - existing largely to make work for more lawyers. - Elaine

my brother-in-law signed up for FriendFeed today. Does that count? - Thomas Hawk

they're not my friend _unless_ they use friendfeed - Tyler Gillies

Very insightful. - Eric Hamilton

More of your friends will start using FriendFeed when comments left on FF items are also pushed to the comments of the original source. For instance, when I see a friend atspond to my Twitter tweet using Twhirl, I check Twhirl out. - Andrew Meyer

I started using Friend Feed when it emerged from the cloud of tweets after I joined Twitter. I still trend to post more there as I started there but I am seeing what seems like an orderly progression to FF being my one stop shop. - Mathew A. Koeneker
