I'm worried Facebook is replacing the need for friendfeed. :(

Anyone else feel it, or is it just me?
- Andrew Baron
Hell no. FB just doesn't have the functionality.
- Neal Jansons
for a lot people FB is FF :-) (and more)
- Luca Conti
On functionality then friendfeed would be just a temporary step to get your ff over to facebook. I.e. Render FF stream in Facebook stream.
- Andrew Baron
Not feeling it. FB feels heavy. FF feels lightweight.
- Nick Reynolds
FB is very closed and demands too much. FF is very open and demands little.
- LogEx
I do pipe my FF stream to FB, but still live here. More interaction, etc.
- Neal Jansons
FB? Heck no! I hate being restricted to interacting with people that I might already know. I like the fact that I can meet new people on FF that I might never have otherwise encountered.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
No. FB isn't open.
- Robert Scoble
That's exactly right, Tina. On FB I get so tunnel-visioned and never would have met some of my fave people.
- Neal Jansons
FB is cluddered
- Michael W. May
from twhirl
That will never happen. Fb is for adolescents and lame-os.
- Anthony
More important things to worry about.
- scott anderson
Nope. Not even close.
- ·[▪_▪]·
Heck no! Two totally separate things to me.
- Rochelle
Who cares. Not a single person on my FF is my friend on FB. You guys are not 'real friends' but I do enjoy your company.
- Aaron deMello
No, I think it's simply an different opportunity...it's all about usage.
- Enriqueta
@Aaron People use things differently. My online, professional, and personal lives all overlap, so many of my friends are on multiple services.
- Neal Jansons
i use friendfeed for following news and links. I use facebook to see what my friends are doing. I don't see how facebook could replace what friendfeed offers me.
- Alex Williams
Well even for me FF is a more active community, but I wonder if that will change? FB is picking up a lot of momentum it seems with the people I know and FF seems to be somewhat stable in growth. I thought FF would of picked up more steam by now myself.
- Andrew Baron
FF is the place for me. Fb is where most of my immediate family communicates and that's fine. FF is where i get to expand my community; challenge my thinking; and learn new things. and that's fine, too.
- MikeAmundsen
@Andrew It's always this way for early adoption. Twitter is just starting to get real mainstream adoption...my sister-in-law brought it up at Thanksgiving and I knew Twitter was now going to become normal, so FF will come next.
- Neal Jansons
Andrew do they have an API like FriendFeed?
- Dave Winer
There is no possible way Facebook can replace FriendFeed. The primary reason for this is that they are two different things. For instance, you don't even have a profile page here on FriendFeed and on Facebook, you can only "follow" people who let you. I don't even think you can interact with people outside of your circle. I would also agree that FB is a little too heavy and complicated for what I do here on FF.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Andrew: FB is a different animal. It has 500+ employees. FF has, what, 13? FB has 120+ million users. FF has a few hundred thousand. But, the quality of conversations is much better here and there are no walls to this garden (Google can search it) and there are no stupid rules and no arbitrary limits to how many friends you can have. But, you will find me in both places.
- Robert Scoble
wow, didn't know the difference
- Brendon Wadey
If there is one of them who has problem, it is not FriendFeed. Facebook=too rigid concept.
- ivanandersson
I get much more out of FF. FB gets a bit loud sometimes with all of it's 3rd party apps.
- Kevin Whalen
No Way José!
- Anna Haro
Maybe the other way around.
- Brandon Titus
@Robert and @Dave I agree on the shortcomings of FB. Though FB seems to be evolving. The biggest difference for me, is the subject matter of the posts - they are much more newsworthy here as @alex stated. FB is much more social talk. But that has been changing; The FB iphone app separates out the personal from the news and more and more people seem to be posting news links.
- Andrew Baron
I never could find a need for FB - barely ever check in
- BEX
ABSOLUMENT NON!
- Josh Haley
Andrew: wait until you see the video we shot last week at Facebook. I agree that Facebook is interesting again. But NOT as a competitor to FriendFeed. Zuckerberg has other things in his sights.
- Robert Scoble
nothing will replace friendfeed in my life. NOTHING.
- DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
from fftogo
I totally disagree. Facebook is ok for some things, but it cannot touch FF.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
While I admit that my usage on Facebook has increased heavily recently, I think of Facebook as a tool for a more personal relationship, but there is little way of gaining new friends. With FriendFeed, it is easy to find new people with interests and hold discussions. I think as long as FriendFeed can excel in providing discussion, it will be hard to have an equal.
- James Mowery
from twhirl
I'm finding myself using Facebook way less. I let the FF app insert everything into my wall and just use it to present that stuff to my friends that aren't on FF.
- matthew john ernisse
I am happy that FF is replacing FB.
- Alexander Kohlhofer
I definitely feel it. But only because I feel bombarded with information, it's coming from all around me, and FriendFeed is just not that useful to me. It's cool, but why bother with it when I can talk to my friends on Facebook? None of my friends are on FriendFeed. Really other than people into this stuff, who has time for FF?
- Josue Salazar
Andrew, I am just the opposite -- I believe the FriendFeed is replacing the need for Facebook and FF is not draconian like Fb.
- Robert Miller
FF>FB anytime
- imran
I have to agree worryingly...............................
- Yatin Vadhia
the reason i use friendfeed is so i can update facebook with all i do without having to go to it every day...
- Samuel Lewis
from twhirl
I don't see them as the same thing at all. I've got to keep up both since I have different types of friends on both services and overall both serve different types of needs. My friends from high school don't use the Internet in the same way that the folks over here on FF do.
- Lynne d Johnson
Nope. I was just thinking last night how Facebook feels kind of sterile and borring to me, while Friendfeed is friendly, easy, and engaging. I go to Facebook a few times a week out of a sense of obligation, but I can never think of anything to do there.
- Laura Norvig
No - Facebook has been wasting my time. Sterile and ZERO interaction! I should be evangelizing Friendfeed.
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
i think you're right... i'm finding as many comments to twitter reposts on Facebook as on Friendfeed. Folks are spending a LOT more time in Facebook thanks to the comment thread feature they riffed off of FF.
- Jason Calacanis
Nah. Real-time there is no good. To me it is just a robust contacts list. I like Facebook a lot but it will not be a replacement for me.
- Rolf Schewe
FB is just starting to have more user interaction with regard to comments... YES, FB is gaining steam, but it will be a LONG time before it replaces need for FriendFeed! FB is too limiting / locked down; whereas, FF is more open and easier to collaborate / open
- Susan Beebe
friendfeed has a better feature set for discussion on activity, but for now Facebook has the users. I find I spend much more time on Facebook because most of my contacts use it, only a few people I know in real life use FF now. How do you get people other than early adopters to start using a new service?
- Mike English
There was news last week regarding Twitter possibly turning down around half a billion dollars from Facebook (though granted, mostly stock). Can you imagine what that would be like if Facebook bought Twitter? I can't say for sure that it would be a bad thing. If FB allowed Twitter to use the API's etc. Maybe FB could buy FF. http://tinyurl.com/5r5zxg
- Andrew Baron
I recently discovered FriendFeed, and like it a lot. I use it in conjunction with Facebook, but I can't imagine FB replacing the need for FF. If anything, I think that FF will grow as more people get on board.
- Joseph Grabowski
Don't worry. Us diehards are here for life :)
- Charlie Anzman
FF allows you to comment and interact with ppl outside your network, which is cool.
- Sahil Parikh
no, it's just you. Friendfeed rules
- David Jacobs
No way. Facebook does have the Import capability to an extent, but the people who understand the coolness of what you post are on FriendFeed.
- Shevonne
Facebook replacing FriendFeed? Wha? Nah
- Kol Tregaskes
My Facebook, FrendFeed and Twitter networks are all somewhat different.
- Mike Reynolds
I informed my friends and deleted my fb account when I noticed how it should be.

Secrecy or Transparency? One Startup's Experience http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
I agree with transparency and making sure you only promise that you can deliver. Over-promising for short-term signups does not work. Customers help build products and tell you what they like and what they dis-like. They have all the right to know where you are headed and whats around the corner.

Mobile applications, RIP - http://mobileopportunity.blogspot.com/2008...
Applications are going to be developed over the web and accessed on mobile phones. I agree with the mobile application development industry not seeing much traction here - too many OS's and carriers to deal with. Definitely not worth it. The browser is the standard and thats how mobile apps should be consumed. The iPhone could be an exception here. Will have to wait and see.
