In the Information Age, you can’t pick up a new tool without changing your expectations on how you plan to use it. This isn’t something I had really considered until tonight during a conversation on FriendFeed with Louis Gray and others about Google Reader as not only a new player in the social networking scene but [...]

*liked FFeed's original UI* And Google's has been crap for a lot longer ;)
- Michael W. May
It took me awhile but I grew to like FriendFeed's original UI too (although I think the current UI, at least with my userstyle on it) is far superior. I think Google kind of suffers from the same problem that Microsoft does: making significant changes to their UI would be a massive undertaking. Google Reader and Gmail look similar for a reason.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Love the fact you're blogging, Akiva. Don't tell anyone, but you're actually pretty good! (And on the right track here, even if I think Google Reader is awesome. They're working on softening some of the edges, but yes, that discussion already has its own thread)

Sometimes what needs to change in the UI is the badly thought-out, overly complicated clutter which constantly has me playing games of "find the setting"
- Slappy Line
You can lodge that complaint against FriendFeed. It's been discussed before but Discoverability here is incredibly low. How is anyone supposed to guess that if you hover over each Comment bubble, it'll tell you how long ago that Comment was made?
- Akiva Moskovitz
One problem I discovered during my brief flirtation with Google as a contractor is that UI innovation can be tough in an existing Google product because the frontend engineering can be a bit less than graceful. Every product has a different framework for the presentation layer, and much presentation layer engineering has been carried out by folks who have other "more important"...

I have the same problem with google reader, I have my own feed consumption pre-conceived notions due to my previous company. Combine that with my FriendFeed addiction and I'm doubly annoyed :) Things like gReader ordering posts by the date *google* found the item still irk the hell out of me. I keep trying to get over my expectations, but I just don't like greader and think it's not the "right way" to read news.
- mikepk
What's cool is that the Google Reader people are paying attention to us. Louis pointed someone from the Reader team to another post of mine (I'm too lazy to look up which one) and she responded in detail to the concerns we had there. It's really encouraging to know that they're listening.

Question: Why would anybody need to search twitter back more than a couple of weeks? I don't see how Tweets hold any value for that long. Do you save all your SMS Text messages too?

Why are you sorry that a product you're not responsible for is a joke?
- Trent Hamm
If Twitter does come up with a good search functionality, then I want the ability to purge my tweets after some period of time. I don't want my messages being permanent records.
- Otto
What Twitter did to their search earlier in the Spring was a huge surprise to me as I used it regularly. The changes they made did not raise much of a huff then, so my read was that few people understand and make use of these search capabilities. While the friendfeed search has room for growth which we may not see now with the buyout, it is clearly one of the main reasons I decided to make this my social media home.
- Richard Reeve
Once in a while I think to myself how much data does the Internet want to keep, and why does it matter. Wouldn't it be better if there was a national library online that wasn't putting a load on the Internet from keeping so much useless data (which Twitter mostly has, BTW...)
- David Libby
My sense is that the dross is an inevitable by product, and what one might consider dross might be valuable to another for very different reasons, some of which we might not even recognize yet. Regardless of the system, I'm for archiving the entire unfolding transcript...
- Richard Reeve
Is FF search really much better? Trying to find things older than a few days or weeks is damn near impossible.
- Brian Sullivan
Brian, while FF only returns about 630 or items back, once you apply searches by keyword, that is more than enough to get you back all the way to the beginning of your Twitter, etc. record kept within FF. And that is the value, Otto, that before you could use Twitter as a very handy, "self-tagging" (by way of your tweet context) bookmark repository, etc. Sometimes you do want to find out what (specific) people said during a given conference, during a major event, sentiment trends over time, etc. etc.
- Alex Schleber
@Otto42, agreed that you should be able to opt out for privacy reasons, then again, you already sort of can by protecting your updates (granted that won't get your old tweets out of Twitter Search & FF, etc. databases).

My guess is that FB will keep FF the way it is due to the fact that FB and FF operate in completely different realms...with FB adopting some of the FF technology to enhance the FB realm. That said, what FB now needs to make very clear is a commitment to keep FF the way it is. Although probably unintended, the acquisition announcement is having a chilling effect upon third party FF developers, most notably Seesmic, due to the uncertainty of the whole thing.

Pros on the "Facefeed": actually may keep friend feed alive. Anyone know how they make money.

I found a learning curve that I had to get over to make it effective. Took me 2-3 goes at trying to commit to the platform....

I think this is bigger than Twitter and FB... I think it's some interweb routes or something.

What will the blackhat SEO experts, the SM spammers, and the social media experts do during a widespread outage? The answer is obvious: While sitting out the crisis they're fine-tuning their methodology. Seriously, your question offends me. There's a gazillion of SEO experts out there who do not abuse social media.
- Sebastian
Sebastian there can't be a gazillion SEO experts! What's 10,000 keywords times 20?? (and that's being generous!)
- Arleen Anderson
Would a social media expert consider it to be a crisis? If they rely so heavily on just one or two tools that it's enough to throw them into a tizzy, their expert status would seem to me to be ... questionable, at best.
- Gord McLeod
Agreed.
- Greg
Arleen, 10,000 keyword phrases times 20 is a tiny fraction of the search terms that are worth optimizing for. Think of the long tail. Also, consider lots of webmasters and even publishers / site owners / bloggers / Web developers ... SEO experts who are able to optimize their stuff quite successfully but don't sell or publish their expertise. Many of them, and even many SEO consultants, do make sensible use of social media, as plain users.
- Sebastian
Gord, in a social media spammer's book 2 hours of outage, IOW 2 hours w/o sales from sneakily distributed links to questionable sales pitches, can sum up to way more than a good day's beer money. ;) However, "crisis" might be a term too strong for this potential loss.

Gotta love it... @RobCairns says "come to Friend Feed? Not" and then his page shows ONE POST from Twitter in the past 18 hours! And that one talks about how Twitter seems to be slowing down again! (Sorry Rob, but that's just too good to let pass!)
- Mark "DerBingle" J
Robert, admit it, you broke Twitter by massively unfollowing people. The DDoS attack reports have just been a ruse to cover up the fact that you were the backbone of Twitter all this time.

Ha! The whole Facebook Twitter slowdown may have been just people clicking on spam (not a DDoS botnet). How funny! Manual DDoS. See Bill Woodcock's theory at CNet, AP, SF Gate, and The Register http://ff.im/6gLmO
- Mitchell Tsai
There you go again implying the only ones that use twitter is SEO experts, the celebrities, the spammers, the bots, and the social media experts - This is definitely SPIN. Perhaps you should join CNN also LOL

Ironic, given your status as a celebrity social media expert who constantly spams about bots... :-P

It's all Robert Scoble's fault. When he unfollowed 100,000 people on Twitter the other day he destabilized it to the point of collapse. :-)
