I have stopped Cc-ing my FriendFeed updates automatically to Twitter. It feels liberating. Has anyone else done this?
Stopped doing that by defaiult the second week here; am doing it on a case-by-case basis. But then I don't read, nor couldn't care less about Twitter. - ianf ⌘
Is there a FF / Twitter feud I'm unaware of? - Rodrigo Leme
I'm very selective about what I send to Twitter from FriendFeed. - Anika
Rodrigo: I have no beef with Twitter. I just use FriendFeed differently than I use Twitter, and I don't want to mix them as much as I was. - Shawn Hickman
I hate it when people send everything from FF to Twitter. I sometimes get followed by people on Twitter and their entire profile is a sea of ff.im links. Why don't they just subscribe to me in FriendFeed? - Martin Bryant
I never did it, because most of my friends on Twitter hated it. And it felt a bit like I was spamming them, to be honest. - Ian Betteridge
I never bothered with posting from FriendFeed to Twitter. Seems like it'd just create too much noise, for too little gain... - Tyson Key
only some. I have separated twitter and frf - no twitter updates imported to frf and only rare items get to twitter from frf. Feels much better this way. - Sasha Kovaliov(.com)
Heck, I'm thinking about deleting my Twitter account. - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
Selective. Gradually weaning myself from the twitter noise to the FF conversation. - Kate Foy
i can't! will try... i just feel like it's a bit fat read crumb we must leave behind us to tell the newbies where we've gone. - Thom Kennon
Yes - I've forgotten how I used to communicate on twitter. Maybe I never did. - BEX
Thom, that's exactly my dilemma. - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
Please can we not have any more of the snotty "FriendFeed is what you use when you grow out of Twitter" attitude? It's that kind of crap that kept me away from FF for a long time. - Ian Betteridge
Ken: Ruh-ite?! - Thom Kennon
What's fun is i do it to my FB stream as well and it annoys and/or confuses 90% of those peeps no end... - Thom Kennon
Ian - i still think it's ok to revel in just a little more of the snotty FF feeling - no? i - Thom Kennon
Interesting ... the overwhelming majority of messages on my Friend Feed Home feed right now have been cross-posted from Twitter. - Kate Foy
Kate, it's the other way (FF to Twitter) that's the issue here. - Martin Bryant from iPhone
Martin, yes I get that. The comment was merely on where my info is coming from right now i.e., outside FF. I'm in transition! I've had to create a lot of Imaginary Friends with RSS feeds to keep up with conversation I value ... so I don't have to commute endlessly between Twitter and FF. - Kate Foy
Kate - that's exactly how i migrated. - Thom Kennon
Thom, finding my way! Glad I'm on the right track. - Kate Foy
Yes. Congratulations. It's the only way to fly. - Hamilton Wallace
I am still importing my messages from Twitter. I can't seem to leave that one. Has anyone completely cut Twitter off? If so, why? - Shawn Hickman from iPhone
I'm pushing everything, including FF Comments like this, to Twitter. - Nick in Manila
currently use selective posting to twitter, though would like to to share better between them - Mike Chelen
Yes, because I want my Twitter page to be more of a personal page. Besides, I don't want my followers to think of me as a spammer. - Ilias Kountoupis
Man, it's all conversation and sharing. Yes, I use FF, Twitter & FB to engage people on the web where they are. They are all different communities but I find value in them all and try to connect with people where they are so yes, I still aggregate my activity from FF to Twitter to FB from Digg from Delicious my blog etc. Hopefully, those who are interested find value in what I share and are able to connect with me how they desire. I say you need to be adaptable. - Jason Cronkhite from iPhone
+1 Ilias Kountoupis. I like FriendFeed a lot, but Twitter -> FriendFeed isn't anywhere near as noisy as FriendFeed -> Twitter (bearing in mind the potential for duplicates), so I don't bother sending my FriendFeed stuff that way. Still, I do feed Twitter and FriendFeed into Facebook, and haven't had many complaints. - Tyson Key
I agree with Jason's "people, not tools" sentiment too, though. - Tyson Key
You guys make good arguments. Even though I have stopped sending FriendFeed automatically to Twitter, I always planned on still sending things. I will just be a little more selective. I talk about such a range of topics with people here on FF, and those convos don't always need to be on Twitter. Thanks for everyone's thoughts. - Shawn Hickman
Share where applicable :) - Jason Cronkhite from iPhone
I send updates both ways (Twitter to Friendfeed and Friendfeed to Twitter). Which way depends on the content. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Jason: that's what I'm aiming to do now - Shawn Hickman from iPhone
Yes - because when I did, everything was hitting both places twice. Now I imagine my FF comments are missing Twitter, which is fine, because they're meaning less out of context. I just have to remember to start posts at Twitter or in Tweetdeck so they come over here and land at Facebook. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
I don't feel too guilty about lacking context because everything on Twitter is pretty disjointed anyway - Victor Ganata from iPod
