interesting. I decided to give FF a 2nd try (I signed up for it when it first came out) not because of the celebrity flood to twitter but I wanted a place for *discussion* that wasn't limited to 140 characters.

I still rarely use FF compared to Twitter as I'm often using Twitter from a device. That said, I love how my digital life aggregates into a single place, along with everyone else. The key will be search. Tracking "popular" on search topics on FF should be very interesting.
- Geoff Wilson
it's all about the meta data. Twitter will never be as valuable as FriendFeed for that very reason.

The "cool kids" might be moving, but I doubt that the cool kids can make FriendFeed a success (that is, compared to Twitter. a network as diverse as Twitter). Twitter was the first in its kind. Many people consider it "good enough".
- Meryn Stol
Because you aren't cool anymore and the REALLY cool kids (re celebrities) are on Twitter.
- Laurent Courtines
Agree. FriendFeed is significantly more useful for sharing real information. No comparison.

Twitter on Oprah was the best thing for FriendFeed. An eureka moment as she jumped into the Twitter stream...

I've been on FriendFeed since March 2008 and I love it!!! :)

Twitter and FriendFeed are not the same. Although the cool kids are already here ;)
- Nicholas James
The REALLY cool kids have identi.ca accounts and use it to talk about coding rather than congratulating each other over their new media gasbaggery. Just sayin'.
- Tom Morris
friendfeed has way better noise reduction filters than twitter atm
- Phil Smirnov
I dont know about cool kids, or I dont care if I am one, but I just did it!

Steve must be prescient - I think it was last summer when he kept saying FriendFeed was actually more useful than Twitter, which is why I have both!

michelle, of course you are. you have a pug. :)
- Karoli
It always comes down to Pugs, doesn't it. Good thing we know the truth.

It's basically impossible to converse with any manner of context on Twitter. It's maybe a one- or two-blurt attention span. Perfect for those with ADD. I like FF much better.
- Rick Cogley
And, I have a Golden Retriever, so I have no need for a pug. (they're cute, though!)
- Rick Cogley
I went back to the old interface (which is something I NEVER do). I think the old interface was flawed, but the new one just feels unfinished. Now I'll just have to live with it.

Great catch... I hadn't noticed the headers in the emails until your post :)
