Why Streamy Could be the Next FriendFeed - Sarah Perez

Oh Sarah .... no no no :P - Chris Saad

I'm checking it out now, I like the interface. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

@Chris: oh yes, yes, yes! Please read. - Sarah Perez

As long as we all go to the same service!:) - Patrik Johansson

we're all swooping in now! - Jim Hearts FF

joining... - Jemm

joined! - Jay Martinez

I signed up a while back and encountered errors while trying to sign in. I just tried it again and still getting that same error. No Streamy for me. - Yolanda

in - andy brudtkuhl

I'm joining, if just to see what's going on in there. Same username. - Jennifer Dittrich

Well, I gave it my email address 20 minutes ago, and I've just tried with another email address. Still got nothing back. - Mark H

interesting... - Grey Drane

Hmm... commenting on FF from streamy? Where does it show up? (this is a test...) - Grey Drane

holy crap this is what FB should have been IMHO....this is what I imgine maybe FB+FF might look like? - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

OK, not sure. It's a cool idea, but it's like a slower, less optimal interface for your various social networks. All in one place, sure, but I'm thinking I'd rather keep separate tabs open than have everything crammed into one site. - Grey Drane

yeah I see what you mean...not sure.....definitely lacking importing of services though for more stuff. - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ from IM

seems too busy - andy brudtkuhl

bah, 500 error after I signed up. damn you all for killing it! - Mark Bockenstedt

Ooooooo Shiny New Thing....... - Roberto Bonini

Finally got 3 emails turn up all at once, signed up, and... 500 Internal Server Error. I get the message. It doesn't want me. - Mark H

I got the 500 Internal Server Error too... :( - Seth Gray

you all killed it! lol - Sarah Perez

lol the net effect just killed another site! - Justin

500 internal server error, could't not be my FF replacement for the moment ! - David Foucher

can't say i agree, but i like the effort ;) - Gunther Sonnenfeld

Was just finishing the sign up when it died on me. - Willem (@wim66) ☠

Streamy server fail :( - Eric Logan

I hope they've improved performance. When I first got on a couple of months ago I thought it was wicked but then it started breaking on me. - Justin Whittaker

Signed up a while ago but didn't spend too long. I'll go back and see what the fuss is about. - Kenton

Just tried to sign in and it crashed (twice). Doesn't look promising. - Jill O'Neill

Let's blame Scoble (the Robert one) since he seems to be gone from FF now anyway. - Kenton

Slow as molasses, then crashed. Streamy people reading this thread? Don't get your hopes up that the little influx of FFers are going to stick around long. - Christopher A Carr

Streamy should be back online and working nice and fast. Whole team was out the lunch when we got a flood of new users, but things are smooth now. Sorry everyone! - tuxboo

Sarah, brilliant post, thank you. It's hugely valuable to see a side-by-side and to have your opinions on what needs work. We'd definitely like to make FriendFeeders comfortable on Streamy. We'll be back with updates. And hey, Chris, my friend. Don't hate ;) - Don Mosites

Which Chris? :) I'm not hating, I'm just suggesting that we need to stop making the same mistake over and over again - crowning 'winning tools' - the winning platform is the web - the tools should leverage open standards to create web-wide distributed social networks. Blogs are the right place to start - tools like streamy are great ways to aggregate the community - but not HOST it - Chris Saad

Opera browser support please. Other than that, it looks pretty good. - Alejandro

Just joined! Seems to be promising. - Joao Alves

Been using it for months. I must admit it's the best Twitter "in the cloud" client that I've used. Far better than Seesmic Web Client, at least. - Jordi Soler

Thanks Sarah! Was looking at Streamy earlier today. Just joined and happy to give it a try. Also want to check out AmpliFeeder. Not bailing from FriendFeed yet, but feel the need to investigate alternatives. - Larry Hawes

This really looks like an interesting concept:) - Rob Cairns

Joined Streamy today. Oddly, its FriendFeed feed isn't showing this thread... - Dennis Jernberg

Oh, *there* it is. I see this thread right at the top of my Streamy FF feed now. Commenting from Streamy. - Dennis Jernberg

I don't get the "New from People" stream. The few conversations that are happening get drowned in all these useless activity updates. I want to see what people are sharing, not what they're *doing* - Christopher A Carr

And I keep getting signed out of Google for no apparent reason. Lots of little oddities -- lots of work to do before this is usable. - Christopher A Carr

Checking it out ... - Tom Horn

"Invalid image type. Provided image/png" I like my PNG avatar ... - Tom Horn

No but it's still a nice project... - Dobromir Hadzhiev

there is also lifestream.fm but not so useful - Ahmet Soyata

Joined! - Anthony

too slow!! - Miketrevis

Joined but could not figure out how to add FriendFeed acct - Jacque

ha! dumb errors :-L - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)

it would be nice if you could opt out of the 'ping every network' but still link your accounts. I haven't seen any settings for that in squirmy, I mean streamy. - Holly Rae, FFer

Facebook won't buy this - ThenWang

I still think it's a nicer UI than socialmedian - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)

For some reason it isn't letting me log in anymore. I remember when people were anxiously awaiting Streamy, and then with all the delays, it seemed like people just forgot about it :P - Angelo Rodrigues

If the rumors come true it will be a sad day indeed... this alternative looks interesting though....thanks' - Bill Masson

Streamy won't be replacing anything any time soon if user's can't log into the service. :o - Kevin Whalen

That was a very thorough review. - Amani

Thanks Sarah. Great review. - Iván Abrego

Now Streamy is crashing on me every 5 minutes. - Christopher A Carr

Couldn't even log in...I really hope there's another friendfeed clone out there that is easy to use... - brainno722 (Peter)

Don't think they're ready... - Brad

no, they're not ready yet... but can they be by the time the need arises? I think it's in there. - Jim Hearts FF

Hey all, we made some fixes to avoid the crashes you were experiencing on Streamy. Be sure to check back in again soon. Thanks for trying us out! - Don Mosites

nice ... thanks for the update. Any news on some new features coming up in the future? - Amani from IM

I tried it last night. It's wonderful. But the loading speed wasn't that good. Or is it only me? - Er-fun

not just you. - Jim Hearts FF
