It would be excellent if you could get people to join and then actually use it. - Jannifer @wordsforliving

We are doing this, it works... But you need to reach a "critical mass". The contributors/readers ratio is approx. 1/10. - PiccoloImprenditore

There are only 3 of us (including myself) so it shouldn't be too hard to get them to join. I just wanted to see if anyone else has been doing this. - Shawn Hickman

piccolo, how many people are currently in your group? - Shawn Hickman

Check out Socialcast - TechCrunch talked about them yesterday - the "FriendFeed for business" http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Mike Bracco

Mike, I was actually just looking at them. Seems pretty cool. I was trying to make FF my central hub for as many things as possible, so I will see how that goes. - Shawn Hickman

Shawn - gotcha :) Yeah FF is becoming my central hub these days too. It's nice to have a service that can integrate with everything else like FF does. It definitely beats having to go to a bunch of different places on the web. - Mike Bracco

I just need FF to integrate into a client like Seesmic Desktop or Tweetdeck so I can have the trifecta of FB/Twitter/FF in one place. - Mike Bracco

That's what I am waiting for too. I would love to have nothing but FF open in my browser all day. I wonder how Google Wave will affect this. - Shawn Hickman

Shawn, we are 10 + many freelance consultants, depending on the project. What I'm really missing now is a way to "open" single threads to externals (customers). Looks like Google Wave might be more effective for this - that would be a problem because I love FF. - PiccoloImprenditore

Use "YAMMER" http://www.yammer.com/ or Socialcast. - Alp

piccolo, thanks for the info. It is going to be interesting to see how FF reacts to Google Wave. - Shawn Hickman

Alp, thanks. I am looking into both. Do you use any of them? - Shawn Hickman

Yammer is great. We use it for a team of 6 and it's perfect. I even have it set up to come to my SMS so I am reachable when I'm out of the office. - Ward Seward

We use Yammer as well, and it works reasonably well for us (w/o the 140 char limit). Yet to figure to SMS it, as most of our use is asynch and not time critical. - K Srikrishna

Mike B: twhirl supports twitter and friendfeed, still lacks facebook though - Mike Chelen

We have been playing with this in the group that I work with and it does have some use. We have found that some things like task assignments seem to still work best in email. We do find it useful to have short conversations about new sites that we have found and about designs that we are working on. There have been instances deep within a 'discussion' where we really wish we had some threading features. - Aaron Choate from Nambu

I do believe FF could become a very efficient collaboration platform for business, but there are only few known success stories. If it worked for you, please tell us how and why http://friendfeed.com/friendf.... - Jérôme Flipo

Funny you should mention this. The tech team at my church have been considering using FF as way of setting up specific live-streaming ministry communication/collaboration. Let us know how it continues to develop for you. My biggest concern is security and unnecessary feeds dropping in. - Bill Lunsford
