It is posts like this when I can tell there is something going on with the interactivity decline on FF. Not a single comment or reaction among 6300 subs? - Christopher Sacca

I think you just validated your assumption. - Omar Shahine

Chris, there's a lot of noise on your Twitter feed in FF -- many @ replies most people could care less about. I'd expect that many of your FF subscribers have hidden your Twitter entries. - Daniel Dulitz

Doesn't that seem like a FF problem then? I mean, Twitter experimented with tuning the reply noise. Maybe FF would do the same? - Christopher Sacca

What sort of reaction were you expecting to this post? - Doug Beeferman

On Twitter and FB there were a lot of laughs, shares, complaints, corrections that it should be 6 days, etc. Just a lot more interaction. It just feels like early on, when I only had a few subs on FF, there used to be a lot more interaction. I feel like Dulitz is probably most right, but there is no way for me to tune the replies down. Both Twitter and FB seemed to get that and filter on them to audiences who might care. I wish we could do the same here. - Christopher Sacca

I think the interactivity in FF has been segregated into many small conversions after FF implemented the groups. - imabonehead

That is likely a factor too. Agreed. - Christopher Sacca

What is a day? Is it the same for all? Large or small? ;-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

I'm agnostic, so I don't have much to say other than that statement is funny. :) - imabonehead

Christopher, lot of the big names (and others, too) on FF totally ignore anything being cross-posted from Twitter. I learned this a while back. If you really want interactivity from FF, you have to post *to* FF, and not just feed it from somewhere else. I was saddened by this, but that's what it's turned into. - Joey Gibson

Chris, it's an FF problem for you (and probably a big reason why FF never took off), but for me it's a selling point. The FF userbase is different than the FB userbase. I subscribe to people on FF for their insight first, and only secondarily for entertainment. I think the average FB comment is very different, more fluffy, less serious. For a good social platform, I think the insight-driven folks and the entertainment driven folks need to balance. I don't know how to get that in FB. - Daniel Dulitz

Christopher: I've noticed a decline in engagement too, but funny enough, every time I bring it up I get engagement again. :-) - Robert Scoble

It is because there is a crowd following you Robert. - Mathew A. Koeneker

I haven't noticed any fall off on FF. - Tad

Well, I thought it was funny. - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)

You get engagement when you talk about engagement declining on FriendFeed, because everybody here is interested in FriendFeed. Probably fewer people are interested in project management jokes; sorry. - Bruce Lewis

You must be buddies with Rob Sellen. - Rochelle

LOL Rochelle - Jeff (the マクダジ of FF) from iPhone

I think I can now confidently state that I now only get engagement when Scoble comments on my stuff. :) - Christopher Sacca

dude, you should be honored when he comments on your posts. :P - imabonehead

Heheh. I didn't start commenting on this until after you got engagement. - Robert Scoble

Made me chuckle - Herb Hernandez from iPhone

Daniel, you nailed it. For me, FriendFeed is a superior interface for reading discussions about issues and news stories of interest to me and my contacts. So far I've found Twitter to be nice for reading status updates and witty epigrams, but bad for having substantive discussions. When I see a "Twittery" post on Friendfeed or vice versa, I don't know what to do with it. - Doug Beeferman

Chris, another thing to consider is that you have 150 times as many followers on Twitter as you have subscribers on FriendFeed. So, after normalizing for that, I believe FriendFeed is winning :-D - Doug Beeferman
