I started sending some of my favorite Twitter posters' feeds to Google Reader a while back so I would be able to search back more than the 30 days Twitter search allows. This article brings things to another level. Thanks for sharing. - Brenda Young

Thank you, Dave. This is the tool I've been waiting for so that I can complete my move to FriendFeed and use RSS for Twitter interaction. - Sam Harrelson from IM

Stupid Question but if you add new Twitter followers then you have to redo the import right? - Nick Reynolds

Davie-Excellent find! - Jack Wilson, K4SAC

Coooooool :) - Susan Beebe

Nick yes you do have to re-import. However if Google Reader would support dynamic reading lists, we could work out a way to keep them in synch. Wouldn't that be nice. :-) - Dave Winer

Now that would be nice! - Susan Beebe

Dave - the comment on Twitter couldn't be more true - I wonder how the social networking world will react to this ... and if some decentralization might start because of it. Seems like a melding of email, RSS, twitter, facebook, etc is what might come out in the end - gregory leff

awesome - andy brudtkuhl

It will be EXACTLY like that scene in the Matrix where they are watching the code scroll by like rain. All feed converge to one, and we see them all simultaneously. Or not. - Ian Wright from BuddyFeed

@Dave yes, it would be nice :) We'll keep you posted. - Mihai Parparita

Is this working? I'm getting an error... "Twitter returned an empty result." - Jason Hansen

Twitter isn't doing well today. - Dave Winer

Dave: I figured it was due to that, but just wanted confirmation. Will try it out later. - Jason Hansen

Thanks. I am going to use Google Reader more often instead of desktop RSS clients. More open. - Zachary TG from iPod

I use Google Reader a *lot*, but I can't see any real benefit to importing your Twitter feeds into it. Page after page of small one line entries? No thanks. - Otto

Don't think I could have said that any better - Bwana ☠

You could have spelled "mystique" properly… - Glen, Bespectacled Elder from iPhone

I could also be asleep considering it's 12:20am here :P - Johnny Worthington

Let them revolt to sub-par hardware and a lessened user experience. My guess is that many of these folks like to make a big spectacle of their ruffled feathers and do it for the ad impressions more than out of some misguided sense of justice. If this is how they react when the learn what the rest of us already knew (omg Apple isn't perfect!), then peace out, Nancies. - Brett Kelly

Or it could be the iPhone is fine as is, and they're looking for the next thing. - Bwana ☠

They tried with the iPod but they're still looking - Bwana ☠

"Revolt" doesn't imply "leaving amiably to check out an ostensibly better solution" :) - Brett Kelly

In the states the only choice is to jump to T-Mobile if you want to just swap carriers. Hardly a choice. - Wayne Schulz

I like having each service as an individual contact. Much easier. Can we see the same for Pownce? - Chris Nixon

Well, IMified has taken bot to a next level.. I even created a customized option to check my google calendar appointments for today (a quick schedule for today) by interacting with bot! Not sure, if they have one for Pownce.. - Jigar Mehta from bTT

One year later. Just bumping this because it's the one year anniversary of the only item on FriendFeed to get more than 400 likes. (452 at the moment) - Ken Sheppardson

450. - Volkan Yılmaz ٩(●̮̮̃•̃)۶

Mashable is getting on my nerves with that - Bwana ☠

same here... - Holger Eilhard

OMG, PLEASE RT THIS! PLEEEEEEASE!!!? - Josh Haley

Show him your longest finger and tell him retweet THIS - Josh Haley

I've asked for a please RT at least 3 times in a bunch of tweets, didn't realize it was a flag for ignore this tweet - Mark Essel

And we have a filter: http://beta.friendfeed.com/search... - Bwana ☠

lol - Rob Sellen :o)

looks like twice http://search.twitter.com/search... - Mark Essel

I hardly retweet stuff, usually I retweet stuff from Ars or ESPN or stuff doing with Apple, Microsoft and Linux. But's that' it. - Patrick from twhirl

Rebels! - Ferwin from Nambu

After that tweet, I got followed by Retweet_it http://twitter.com/retweet_it Twitter spammers watch what you say :) - Bwana ☠

If you hate retweet beggars, please RT this!!! - Jemm

likewise :) - Parth Awasthi

been debating unfollowing mashable because of it - BCK

I give people a pass when it's something that really needs to be spread. Like when the police were harassing that blogger. Didn't know mashable was doing that. How lame. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Now filter on PLEASE RT, comments:10... only two of those have ever graced FriendFeed. Moral of the story? Please RT isn't portable. http://beta.friendfeed.com/search... - Daniel J. Pritchett

This is the ONLY post on Friendfeed that has 10 or more likes and says "Please RT" - Pat Hawks

If something is valuable enough - doesn't it get RT'd automatically. If you have to ask - then you probably don't deserve it. - Ron West

fair point Bwana...gonna ease up on that from now on, promise! - mashable

+Jemm, please RT if u hate 'plz RT' - Will Higgins™

Sometimes, the overuse of "RT" on twitter reminds me of watching the President give a speech on TV and then the anchors break in when it's over to say "Here's what he said, we're going to explain it to all you dumbasses now so you can understand." - Trish R

good question - Manuela

thanks directeur - Manuela

service:friendfeed that'll do it, add it to the new filter thing so its just from your group of friends. - Simon Wicks

You're welcome Manuela :) - directeur
