Added you all. Taylan, well you have at least one now. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Wait, Google Wave gives you an email address? Super awesome! - Nick Humphries

Nick, well it's your Gmail address but with @googlewave.com instead of @gmail.com (or @googlemail.com) - Kol Tregaskes

I'd like one. hmnunes@gmail.com - HN from iPhone

HN, post here instead: http://ff.im/91M9R - Kol Tregaskes

Kol: That's pretty neat. Wish it was shorter like wave.com or gwave.com (Google owns gwave.com anyway) or something. - Nick Humphries

i think this @googlewave.com email address is a temporary thing during testing. after it goes live you should be able to just use it with your google account. at least that's what i think:) - Taylan Aydınlı

@gwave.com doesn't seem to work. - Kol Tregaskes

I was impressed, at the time I read the post, that you even labeled the Amazon links with '(amazon affiliate link)'. How much more transparent could you be? - Gary Burge

3 more comments

I'm disturbed by the fact that Chris even has to write this post. There are 87247321743552 items in the Amazon store. Do we really think that Chris is trying to be unauthentic just due to the mere presence of an affiliate link from one of the items in this HUGE online store? Seriously. - Tamar Weinberg

I think CB might have been trolled. - Trent Hamm from iPod

Who cares? that's what we all should say, including Chris.. I mean, I can see why he was annoyed, yet, why should he be annoyed?> wtf has a got to do with whoever it was complained?? Nothing... as for everyone else, we didn't know nor need to... none knew about it until he blogged it here.. I tell it as is on the sidebar on my own blog if anyone complained.. I'd say so what? ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Do these amazon associate links earn? I been placing these since ages with no expectations..only of late, amazon associate is doing good! - ilaxi

http://timhoeck.com/files... - Consider this a "Pre" beta.. I am working on a number of things, and I'll list them so we know what not to report.. really though at this point, I want to know one thing. Is this the layout you want for a FriendFeed app, or do you want something else? - Tim Hoeck

7 more comments

At this point I have "most" of the features in. I still have a lot to work on for realtime updating, but I want to know if this is the 'view' or 'look' that you want out of a FF app. Particularly down the road with real-time... it will be too frustrating reading an entry, only for it to get bumped off your screen. We could implement a pause button like the FF page, but I think that defeats the purpose. - Tim Hoeck

My particular concerns with a list style, scrolling view of FF is balancing what to show on the screen, and what options to give, vs. usability. I don't want comments on a list of entries, because it makes a list way too long. I don't particularly want buttons on each entry, but long clicking is too frustrating... so give me your thoughts, suggestions, concerns... and I'll work with them. - Tim Hoeck

So on to known things with this beta: I would recommend for now to only use wifi (however, I use it fairly ok on edge).. I'll be working more on streamlining downloads to a minimum. If you find something broken, I probably know about it :) Uploading pictures doesn't work, landscape is a little goofy, there are no real "updates", so if you comment,like, etc.. you won't see the change... more... - Tim Hoeck

I'll test it for ya. - Miguel Wickert- Pineiro

Hey Tim, great start. As it turns out, I'd been writing a FriendFeed-on-Android app too (just for grins and giggles), and I'd approached it from a very minimalistic UI standpoint --- my penchant for doing everything in emacs or a unix-shell dominates :). Given that bias, I found the current incarnation of AndFeed *very* busy. Each list item had so much going on, that I had to actually... more... - Aaron D'Souza

Tim, do you want comments here, email, or do you have a ticket tool set up? - Eric Sinclair

here is fine for now, Eric. I really want to hear how people want this to work.. I know most of the bugs and such (which are being worked out now) - Tim Hoeck

Great app, much nicer than reading it in the browser. But I read ff mostly for the comments, so for me it would be much better if the comments just appeared by default. - j1m

If it was easy to do right we'd have it already. - Alex Scoble

11 more comments

or is it just that indenting gets out of hand after awhile? - Laura Norvig

What Laura said. - Christopher Harley

What if a mouse over the comment highlighted the comment it was in reply to? - invariant - farewell FF

One of many previous discussions on flat vs multi-level threading http://friendfeed.com/acitran... - Micah Wittman

yeah, it would be tough to do, I always hated trying to follow large threads in forums... there has to be a better way. With posts now getting 300-400 comments, we need a better way to manage/peruse them. @Micah .. glad to see that Bret Taylor liked that thread... wonder if they have anything in the works? - Tim Hoeck

Tim, interesting observation. Lots of roll-outs happening. Maybe something will be in the next wave of features. - Micah Wittman

I am definitely up for that. Currently it is very hard to track the conversation, if someone mentions your name or responds to your comment. Threaded comments would make it much easier. - Marko Saric

invariant has a great idea. But only one level down, so we keep the flat comments. - Roberto Bonini

I would like a 'reply' feature. From a dropdown on the comment icon we could select to 'reply' - whether this indents the comment or not I'm not sure but these 'replies' could then be displayed on a separate page like 'My Replies'. - Kol Tregaskes

If comments were indented it should only be to 1 or 2 depth. I really wouldn't like to see the messy reddit-style on FF. - Kol Tregaskes

I would still just like the ability to 'like' a certain comment - Kim

I think threaded comments are messy. I see them on http://www.athleticsnation.com, a sports site I frequent, and it would be crazy here. - Louis Gray

awesome - Kyle Weller

36 more comments

great!:) - Patrik Johansson

Looks great - Russ Jackson

looks amazing. any chance of beta testing? - Mario

Want! - Christoph Studer

Looking very good. Beta testers? - Adam Karl

as soon as I work out a few more issues, I'll be looking for beta testers - Tim Hoeck

Tim, do you know if you've any competition working on something similar? - Christopher A Carr

the only other FF app I have seen is Mother Feed.. most are too happy with it, and I haven't seen them update it recently. - Tim Hoeck

Yeah, it sucks. OK, quit screwing around on FF and get back to work. ;-) - Christopher A Carr

add functionality like the url shortener app, like share from browser to friendfeed with tinyurl/cli.gs/bit.ly etc, so when we are browsing online we can easily share things :) - Kyle Weller

I'm definitely down for beta testing when you finally get to that stage. - Jon, the Beartato of FF

Add me to the beta tester list! - Trent Olson

me too please! - Edward Zwart

I would love to try this out when you release it in a beta test! :) - Patrik Johansson

Why am I not beta testing this yet dammit?! - Matthew DeVries

There are Alert Thingy and Buddy Feed iPhone Apps. Buts looks great :) - Roberto Bonini

As soon as I have my downloads threaded and I get my API key, beta testing can begin :) - Tim Hoeck

Yay! :D - Eph Zero

Can't wait for it to go mainstream. Looks great. - Russ Jackson

This is looking pretty cool so far! - Jon, the Beartato of FF

Looks like an interesting solution (though YA polling app - oh my little 1150 battery is whimpering already!) - Eric Sinclair

I can't wait for it. The FF mobile site is not longer appropriate for Android users. It now says "...from iPhone" if you use it... so I hope for this app. Does it say "...from Android" when you post from this? Would be great to finally have an oppose way to show your support for Android. - Ryo / Fuck Facebook

it says, from AndFeed. :) And, it is getting there, I'll be asking for some beta testers soon. - Tim Hoeck from AndFeed

First! - Matthew DeVries

second! - Ryo / Fuck Facebook

third! - Tim Hoeck from AndFeed

PS: if you want to help to make the mobile Friendfeed site stop saying "...from iphone" if you post from an Android, please chime in here: http://friendfeed.com/friendf... / Android user support needed in this thread. - Ryo / Fuck Facebook

Ryo - is that really the thread you want us to say "Stop saying I'm on an iphone" in? - Matthew DeVries

Yes, Matthew.. he is talking about Android people using the ffmobile site. - Tim Hoeck

Something is weird, I keep being sent to a thread about an automated "unsubscribe to those not subscribed to me" thread. Damn internet - Matthew DeVries

Matthew... sooory. it was the wrong link :) I've corrected it: http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Ryo / Fuck Facebook

Oh, from seeing that extensive use of pics and thinkin g about my 18000+ subscriptions, pleeeease do the caching on the sdcard and not in the phone memory. Just a thought. - Ryo / Fuck Facebook

Hey Tim, I spent some time messing around with Andfeed. It looks great by the way. It force closed on me about 15 minutes in or so, won't open since. Wondering if anyone else experienced this issue? - Miguel Wickert- Pineiro

Miguel.. I have some fixes coming soon that will probably fix that. In the meantime, you could try clearing the cache folder on your sdcard and restarting... it is located in /sdcard/cache/andfeed/* - Tim Hoeck

How does one get in on the AndFeed testing? - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

^ What p248 said. WANT. Is it listed in the Android Market Tim? - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

Hit up the room: http://friendfeed.com/andfeed - it is buggy atm, and I will probably change the way things work, but feel free to give your feedback! - Tim Hoeck

Untargeted ads simply don't have enough value to support quality content creation. The TV business is about to learn that the hard way. - Tugce Esener

5 more comments

Having read the comments on the site, I believe it is fair to say, that we are greedy human beings which want are content for free, no we don't want to pay, and we will opt out of any interrupting advertising to the extent that it is allowed. Although I like the idea of allowing the reader/user decide how and what they want tracked, I firmly believe that it would not work, since we will be looking for ways (ad blockers, cookie cleaners, browsers that can re-format the content, etc) to get out of the deal. - John Serra

Even if the mechanisms to control how we are being tracked existed, it would be to complicated or at least requiring attention. Isn't that why we choose to turn the ads of in the first place? Maybe the answer is finding ways to embed the advertisements into the content implicitly so we do not feel interrupted (with some kind of disclosure of course at the beg. or end). Even then the need to test and track intention and behavior would exist.. - John Serra

John, i think its about relevancy. For years we have been exposed to ads that ment nothing to us. So we just chose to block all. But what if you could only see ads that were relevant and helpful to you. And stats show that gen y'ers are more willing to share information about themselves in order receive relevant info about companies they're interested in. But some products how ever they target won't mean that much to a consumer so the problem of clutter may always remain. - Tugce Esener

Tugce, I agree, but relevancy might not come from the content itself, but from what people are doing while they are consuming the free content. As in the soap opera example. The stories had nothing to do with soap, but they were being listened to while the topic of soap was relevant. - John Serra

John what I ment by relevancy was the the ads relevancy to the consumers buying habbits or choices. For instance if we knew who was looking for information on healthy babyfood we could direct the ads specifically to them. Which in that case would be helpfull to the consumer. - Tugce Esener

Whups.. then, I just plain agree.. :-) - John Serra

Getting started on a FF app for Android. Any suggestions? - Tim Hoeck

where can i get the apk? - Chris Jackson

Hey Tim Count me in on testing bro - Kyle Weller

add search, add a plugin to share to friendfeed within the browser share menu :) - Kyle Weller

add a widget of course, with search capability, filter by service etc - Kyle Weller

Have Groups, Friends, and Saved Searches Tab - Kyle Weller

Friendfeed Realtime, optimized :) - Kyle Weller

Ooooh... I'd love DMs capability - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

oOoOo good idea tina - Kyle Weller

Add some type of Alert functionality, like a buddy alert system? - Kyle Weller

Add share pic capability if possible - Kyle Weller

Personally, I'd be ok having all my groups in one particular area rather than viewing them separately. I do like the idea of making saved searches available and creating one on the fly: would be useful for events where you want to keep up with all mentions of X while you're there. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

add Best Of - Kyle Weller

Add a services tab or option to filter by service, like twitter for instance - Kyle Weller

So, obviously we want all/most of the FF features builtin.. I'm looking for thoughts on layout style/navigation, the alert/notification system, or other design issues. How do you want this thing to work? - Tim Hoeck

Instead of links to features cluttering it up, I wonder if it'd be possible to have be options under the menu button. Even better would be to have the Menu button have Post, a Go To drop down (i.e. go to DMs, My Discussions, Groups, etc), and an app settings drop down. It would be great if Post interface had the ability to attach a photo from the handset. And maybe it's just me, but I'm less likely to send DMs without the name completion that FF offers. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

the post feature shouldnt have its own window, how about have it popup sort of like the device keyboard or search in the gmail app it would be nice to see the app while typing a DM, post or whatever, also have it auto complete Groups to post to. Also a whole new ui could be designed that would allow you to just slide from window to window - Kyle Weller

the ui could possibly have: peek tabs on the sides that say: Home Feed, DM, Groups, basically something that is fast and looks good and is super easy to use, also those tabs slide out over one another if ya know what i mean, so you can quickly keep tabs on everything. - Kyle Weller

It could have its own notification system built in the app, the tabs get highlighted when there is a new message with a number on them with how many messages, and could also set specific notifications on the android notification bar based off saved searches, groups or even a specific convo you want to follow - Kyle Weller

add caching to sd of as many things you can possible to make the app screaming fast, possibly pre-loading of dm's, specific rooms etc. An Option to keep certain things "Synced" Fast is a must, friendfeed itself is fast. - Kyle Weller

thanks.. plenty of suggestions to work on :) not cluttered, name/rooms/groups filtering, easy access interface for post/dm that doesn't cover the screen, lots of caching, posting pics .. I'll let you guys know when I'm ready for testers.. in the meantime, feel free to add suggestions to this thread if you can think of something you'd like. - Tim Hoeck

Keep it free. - Ryo / Fuck Facebook

Yes make it good enough that people will donate, maybe add donate options in menu or a seperate "donate for FriendFeed", 90% of people have payed apps filtered out amd most people wont buy an app without trying it first anyways. - Kyle Weller

This one will be free - Tim Hoeck

Would like to have "Open URL via google mobile proxy" option. 3G is fast enough for full page, but sometime it's much convenient via mobile proxy especially if you just want to read text on the page. - Nock Forager

Steve, I was just about to give up RSS for Twitter, but then a few weeks ago, you wrote that Twitter had peaked, so I decided to just wait until the next thing I'm supposed to give up for the next thing I'm supposed to trade it in for. - Rex Hammock

Rex, you're a good man. - Steve Rubel from IM

for me Twitter supplements my RSS consumption but doesn't replace any of it. Twitter is more about discovery of things I wouldn't normally know about via RSS. - Tac Anderson

I agree, it is more like mining for information on twitter. - Drew Lucas

Don't have time for both RSS and Twitter so I focus on the current conversation over the archive. - Jason Catena

Twitter & Hacker News have taken up most of frequent, distracted attention I used to spend on reading feeds. I still go back to feeds to do my deep reading tho - Kingsley Joseph

I have to agree that RSS has fallen off my radar due to the time I put into Twitter and other Social Media tools (FF). - John Flynn

I second John Flynn's remarks. - Jeff Stannard

I feed social networks with RSS... so if I stop, and everyone else stops... where is the information going to come from? - Bwana ☠

Nope, RSS is still extremely useful especially coupled with #Feedly - Rick Bucich

twitter is snacking, rss is having diner. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin - fully agreed. - Richard Zeidel

I will never ditch RSS. It is too easy and great. I don't check as often as Twitter, but I can save posts and refer back to them when I need to. I can also easily find blogs there, rather than my bookmarks, which is flooded. Twitter is GREAT, but who knows if it will last? MySpace was great once, too. RSS is more stable than a social network, and easier to sort (no hashtags required). - Angela Wilson

I wouldn't. For the Twitter and RSS have different uses. And I wouldn't spam the people that follow me at twitter with links to posts. - Bibi

No way. Never. - Louis Gray

Not ditched, but Twitter's become my primary social RSS. They're different rabbits. - phil baumann

two different things...two different uses. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

i use friendfeed for both feedreading and twitterstream. - lodro

I'm just cutting down on number of followers and feeds. Seems to help with managing information overload. - Dave "Freedom 35"

Twitter is too ephemeral... would need some organization (folders/tags/saved-searches) and mark-as-read functionality at the very least for me to even consider it. RSS is essential to me for required reading and for discovery. - LogEx

Not at all, if anything Twitter/Friendfeed etc has helped me find new RSS feeds to add. - Adam Turetzky

That's like hiring the garbage company to DELIVER trash to your door. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

if anyone did it, he's an idiot - Zio Bonino

Twitter for Microblogs and Status Updates, Google Reader for regular blogs, Friendfeed for actual conversations! - Dane Findley

Ditching RSS in lieu of Twitter?? What's next, ditching email for DM's? Not a smart move. - Kevin Pruett

I think Kevin just summed it up nicely. I'll just add: The number of websites who provide real-time updates to Twitter is minuscule. When that changes, then we'll talk about swapping RSS for Twitter. - Alexander Grundner

Nope, absolutely not. Twitter serves its purpose as microblogging and link sharing but RSS still has a purpose for me. Not everything I read is shared through Twitter (actually, I should hope not!). If I got all my news through Twitter, it would be more of an echo-chamber than it already is. Further more, I work in marketing. I use RSS to keep up with client industry news and to aggregate information. Twitter cannot do this for me. - Violet Mae Lim

I got sick of reading long blog posts about the best way to develop software.... at least with twitter you get rid of long windedness. :) - Paul Kinlan

i did not. and i won't you can't find in 140 char what a full page gives you - Ouriel Ohayon

I've pushed most of my feeds to Twitter.For me, trying to keep up with RSS was like having another email inbox from hell. Now I catch what I can and let the rest pass over me. http://bit.ly/YQcK5 - Tech Introvert

...i've mostly ditched blogging for Twitter. - .LAG liked that

I have ditched RSS for FriendFeed. I prefer the Real-Time Web. Welcome to the RTW! - Dimitar Vesselinov

I'm with Dimitar... go FF go! - Janice

Everyone! Haven't you heard -- Twitter is dead. Oh wait. I'm confused. RSS is dead. Umm. Steve Gillmor? It's TechCrunch -- it's dead. That's right. - Dave Winer

Feedly + Firefox really makes Google Reader useful, IMHO - .LAG liked that

no way. though i have reduced the number of feeds i actively keep up with. - coffee

++Lag. Love my Feedly plus FF/Twitter. I have cut down on feeds however. - Bonnie Foster

I love my netnewswire. It's all the stuff I've personally asked for rather than the stuff others feel they need to throw at me. - Josh Kinal from twhirl

yup, same here - Jeremiah Owyang

I'm still using my RSS readers a lot. Google Reader on line and Byline on the iPhone. Less "clicks" on the iPhone. - Mike Beck

OK, so this post brought out mostly RSS lovers (which I remain). Yet why is it that some are now railing against RSS? Here's another thought RSS = a standard. We have no standards for status updates and thus Twitter and Facebook are in the driver's seat. RSS is final and stable. - Steve Rubel

Nope. I see different uses in the different services. I like the organization of a reader. and I like your comment about the standards and stability and lack thereof on Twitter and FB. Also, I like to pick my news sources and trust that I am getting something accurate. SkyGrid is a nice combination of real fast / real time and reliable. - Martha

On the contrary, besides using Twitter, I've added lots of RSS from Twitter to Google Reader. - Mike Reynolds

My comment is a bit suggestive because of my work with Alltop. But even so, Twitter could not replace the gens I find via RSS too. - L.P. NEENZ FALEAFINE

Not me. Twitter is still too noisy. - Tamar Weinberg

why ditch anything? - Sheri Fresonke Harper

Sheri- Because people like to talk about this "king" "killing" that "king" and "destroying" this "queen" blah blah blah. ;) In my opinion, one new form of technology or communication doesn't always have to replace another. - Violet Mae Lim

That question is ridiculous. RSS is far easier to manage and customize and can deliver a lot more information. Watching the interests of your social graph on Twitter is great, but far more and higher quality information can be consumed, (re)organized, and aggregated with a good RSS reader. - David Chartier

I'm stuck between using FriendFeed and Google Reader but I defenetely like FF more than twitter for that function! - Brian from BuddyFeed

Still like both. With Twitter I feel like I keep up with individuals better, and catch new stuff earlier than I might anywhere else. Reader still gives me a ton of good reading from all the places I like best though ... - Patrick Jordan

I still use RSS but more for reference. I get the link to the post in Twitter and then go look at the feed - Janet Fouts

I'm still a fan of Netvibes, and I have not ditched RSS for Twitter, I've made some RSS out of Twitter searches, does that count? - Albert Maruggi

FriendFeed replaced RSS for me a while ago. - Thomas Hawk

Ditch RSS for Twitter? Never. RSS is the fuel for the real time web - they're complimentary products. http://bit.ly/10dkr8 - AJ Kohn

I will most likely not ditch ditch rss for twitter, both are good and valuable, but rss is useful since one can't always read it - Justin Yost

Ditched RSS for FriendFeed ;) - LPH™ and his dog P™

I really never understand why you should give up RSS for Twitter. Why? Could someone please explain this über productive idea? - Jan Friman from Nambu

i'm still a heavy Google Reader user. - Alex

The more interesting question may be how many have replaced RSS with FriendFeed... - Josh Street from twhirl

<sigh> I dunno. I see twitter as a subplot of FF and FF is also a subplot. Even slashdot used to be cool. - Derek Lords

Haven't heard Slashdot mentioned in years - Mike Reynolds

Ditching RSS for Twitter will work as the idea that people wouldn't look at paintings once photos came out - shelisrael1

I think there is some confusion here. Are we talking about giving up on the technology that is called RSS, or are we simply talking about switching the platform on which we consume these ie. ditching google reader for friendfeed or twitter. Friendfeed lives on RSS feeds, the links you get on twitter most probably come straight out of someone's rss reader. The question is, if we ditch... more... - Kasper Sorensen

I discover more of value through friendfeed than twitter, really. But once I determine the long term value of a site it goes into my google reader, if it's Really important (i.e. top 10) it goes in my operamini feeds on my phone. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

The talk of Twitter replacing RSS feeds is misguided. You'll have to rip Google Reader out of my cold dead hands. Twitter (and Friendfeed) are useful, bur provide less value to me than mr Greader feeds. - ron k jeffries

I agree @ron - Justin Yost

it is like dithing your car for fishing: they are not the same. More precisely, Rss gives you focuses attention on the sources of information. Twitter gives you second hand check-it-outs that are possibly not so focused or accurate, but *seem* more urgent because they are in real time. - Michele Costabile

I use RSS, don't like twitter, and seems no reason. - yagami

How many of you have ditched bathing for Twitter - and if so why? - Dave Winer

I ditched porn for Twitter since, you know, it makes so much sense to do so. - Scott Jarkoff

I use both RSS and Twitter. I use Twitter more frequently though. - Donelle

RSS is quite useful, both serve their own purpose - Erik Magraken

this is BS, twitter can't and won't replace RSS, neither will friendfeed for that matter - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Twitter gives me a portal to the author but won't replace RSS - Joe Dawson

I increasingly use Twitter Search rather than Google Search or RSS to find cleantech news to blog about. - Bob Morris (polizeros)

Nopes, Twitter has a long way to go before it replaces RSS. My days begins by reading 500 feeds, imagine how many tweets would I have to go through to get all those news! - Rajtilak Bhattacharjee

Friendfeed can do that. Not twitter - Rohit from twhirl

For ordinary web users who are only interested in a handful of feeds, maybe 10 or 20 then twitter beats a feed reader hands down. Much simpler to use, easy to understand and real time. Plus twitter has the social media/communication features. However power users that are tracking 100 or more feeds need a reader for their research. The google reader / feedly combination is hard to beat for these people. - Adrian

Google reader is evil and must be destroyed. Who has time to sift through 400 unread posts per day? - Tech Introvert

How can Twitter replace a few decent RSS feeds? Not understanding the Twitter love... - George Gray

I don't understand, RSS and Twitter are two different services. Have I missed something? :-) - Kol Tregaskes

I spend time on Twitter where I would have otherwise been in Google Reader. It's easier to follow trending topics on Twitter. - Peter Warnock

did a blog post a while back called 'my network is my search engine' but truth is, probably meant my 'network is one of my rss feeds' - not an either or proposition for me - leigh himel

Many RSS feeds push their content thru Twitter, which makes Twitter a real-time RSS reader (that doesn't act like a horrific email inbox, ahem Google Reader). FF is an even better implementation of this, if only more sites pushed their feeds thru FF. - Tech Introvert

No, they're two different use cases for me. Twitter is real time conversation. RSS is non-real time information. - Ian Betteridge

What Ian said. IMHO, their strengths are so different it would be silly not to use both. - Karen Mohler

If anything, Twitter points me towards more stuff to add to my RSS! - Amie Gillingham

Yeah, what Ian said. I'd just get lost in the info if I got all RSS via Twitter. - Julie Barrett from twhirl

I am using RSS in FriendFeed. What I have ditched is Google Reader. RSS is underlying technology, not an application. We'll keep using that underlyng technology for a long time. We may ditch the readers, but not the RSS itself. - Bora Zivkovic

I haven't ditched sourcing news via RSS for Twitter, but I have subscribed to more news via Twitter and find myself getting it more frequently on twitter. - tekhelet

This isn't the right kind of debate. It's distracting from the fact that both are useful. - William Mougayar

nope, not going to happen. A) twitter doesn't have all the blogs I read B)there's no good aggregation of blog notices - I can't come back 2 days later & find older content. - clarke thomas

Feedly + Google Reader > Twitter (for feeds, obv) - Bryan Penczak

For Twitter? No, maybe for Friendfeed in some time. - Diego Espinoza V.

Because I got the gist of the post and a quick link in the same stream. No more reader for over 12 months - derek

i ditched twitter - Marcus Brown

Traditional RSS readers are even more boring than Facebook. Stopped using them a long time ago. I do consume RSS feeds still in FriendFeed but though a socially filtered lifestyle. - Thomas Hawk

I have pretty much ditched RSS for FriendFeed. I use Twitter also. - Bill Romanos

for must part..BUT subscribing via RSS to derivations from Twitter can be useful, for example, I subscribe via RSS to http://www.whatthetrend.com/ . It gives me the day's trends PLUS explanations as to why which is key. Extremely useful to go through just in case I missed something during the day. - Mike Bracco

your followings are your feed source - Human Syndication. spending most of your time on Twitter, you dont have time to switch to RSS. Also, with RSS feeds coming from media companies, news may not break as quickly with human syndication which Twitter provides. With RSS feeds coming from Blogs, the news will have broken out on Twitter prior to that blogger's RSS feed hitting you somehow... more... - iTbay

No. RSS still has a place on my computer (or at least in my web browser). I prefer it for it's easy-to-read aspect and it's speed (Google Reader is awesome). Twitter is for discovery, as is friendfeed. - Amy H.

RSS bankrupcy. Hundreds of blogs unread. By reading Twitter only on the web and not on the phone, and using Twitter search, I get what I get. The rest finds its way, so I don't have to pile up enormous wads of reading in my Google reader. RSS is still absolutely vital, however, for those who block you on Twitter. You search their name, RSS the search results, read them on Google. My new Google read attention space is the ppl like @ajkeen who have blocked me on Twitter. - Prokofy Neva

I subscribe to Twitter hash-tag and keyword searches via RSS and read them in Google Reader. I see the them as complimentary. - Mike Boudreaux

I usually have Google Reader/feedly & TweetDeck open at the same time. - Jason R. Hunter

Hundreds of RSS feeds and no time to consume; Twitter better fits my lifestyle. Plus, the community that surrounds me shares very similar interests, so I can count on useful info from them. - Paul Chaney

"Having RSS feed" =/= "using Twitter", so I read the RSS of a lot of sites every day via NetNewsWire. - Rick Cogley

I use RSS to read Twitter (meaning) I can follow some people on Twitter via Google RSS reader (without really following them). Does that make sense? - Doug Vos

Why no friendfeed? Mashable? - Robert Scoble

Robert, it is difficult to keep a charitable activity visible without a large FF following. I am working on an FF only fundraiser to see if I can diaprove this. - Brandon Mendelson

Brandon: that is wrong but I am tired of fundraisers. - Robert Scoble
