Based on my comments here I'm seeing some people really hate FriendFeed because it brings them way too much, and isn't neatly ordered like Google Reader or...

I was about to say that I want a FF list/URL that orders MY items just by time, like a blog, or like Jaiku. Not influenced by conversation, as the "me" feed is. - Robert Scoble

friendfeed definately needs search filters, and search alerts, as well as topic filtering, and submission grouping, the ordering is horrible, although its fun to take the time to search - d e f c o n

For me, FF and GReader are complementary - I use them both. GR because it's so organized and let's me go through an unprecendented amount of information really, really quicklky. And FF to see what the buzz is amongst the folks I'm following - to some degree GR provides breadth and FF depth. Blogged a little about it :) http://is.gd/cJR - felix

That's my main issue. It needs to be much more organized. It's fun to skim though. I can't guarantee I won't miss anything though. - Jesse Stay

Filters would be great, especially some kind of tier of friends, flooding is really an issue. Also the like feature needs to be toned down, you seem to like everything Robert so you quickly flood the FF page with your friends (though I have seem some interesting topics I wouldn't have looked for) - Cains

@jesse. it's ok if you miss something. really. it is. - rob zand

Cains: that's the point: I am subscribed to more than 2,000 people, so my inbound is a constant flow. My outbound is bound to be noisy because of that. - Robert Scoble

I wasn't saying thats a bad thing, its just something that needs to be addressed through filters. I love the noise FF brings, but at the moment the people recommended as your friends are accounting for 80% of my 1st page. Thats saying something when they can drown out Messrs Calacanis & Arrington. - Cains

@Kyle - search alerts can be done right now. See here: http://tinyurl.com/6qhk4n - Hutch Carpenter

I filter by service, that's why the noise doesn't affect me much. I'm subscribed to many blogs here, so just searching for service:blog brings me the latest "news". - Alejandro S.

It could be a left-brain, right-brain thing, Google Reader makes me feel guilty. I gave it up. I don't like news reading to be an inducer of guilt. I'll read when it's all eclectically spread out -- or not. - Prokofy Neva

i think greader is much better - qian

Gridjit is coming for FriendFeed very soon. Hopefully it will be a useful means to organize FF for some people. - Ray Grieselhuber

Filtered friend of friends for a couple of people today and the noise has been reduced to a dinner party rather than a rave, much better. - Cains

Maybe a GR display is exactly the way to go. Treat every person you subscribe to the way GR treates a FEED. Then you see a FEED view showing all the unread updates for each person you subscribe to and you can drill down into it. As you skim items for a person they automatically become READ. I can see this working. It would give me the choice to read the people that were more important to me first. - Kevin Shannon

AlertThingy seems to work well for me as a UI to FriendFeed - Simon Bisson via Alert Thingy

Really awesome tool. Seems more like a GCal feature upgrade than a standalone service, though. - Josh Cochrane via Alert Thingy

Solid tool with simple natural language interface. - Rafael Robayna

I wonder where they will take it from here - Alex via Alert Thingy

Hy Robert, any chance of qik video of the interview? I am interested in his take about jabber with microblogging. - ilteris via Alert Thingy

I didn't Qik him, sorry. - Robert Scoble

Care to share? It's the flow of inforamtion in the stream and absorbing it that is the crux! - Michael VanDervort
