I see there's tons of new people here on friendfeed participating. How do I know that? Because there are tons of white icons in comments. That means I am not following you yet. Just a month ago all I saw were blue icons. That's cool and welcome to all the newbies!
Robert, Bing is something entirely different altogether ;-) Welcome to all the new faces!

Curt has got it on! I stick by my complaint that that it's not actual discussion, just comments. Discussion would entail threads, + better management when discussions get too overwhelming at 50 comments.
- Malcolm Bastien
Thanks for the welcome Robert. I've only been using FF for about a week and I love it. I find myself participating more, even just replying to tweets.
- Alex Hellstrom
@malcolm how can you make that assertion with such limited participation here? i disagree with your comment...it is the "actual discussion". i think we may have successfully redefined the terminology.
- Carlos Ayala
anna: actually I'm not. Most people don't participate. I only subscribe to those who participate. And even of those I only follow a small number. For instance, I only follow those who speak English. There are tons on friendfeed who don't speak English.

First day on FriendFeed, glad to connect Robert.
- Gabe Taviano
Yeah I haven't been here in a while. Everything has changed. It isn't as small as it used to be (I was here right after it started).
- Jake (aka Jawee)
I'm a newbie to Friendfeed as a result of the interview with Don Tapscott. Thanks!
- Brian Ostrovsky
Jake I'm with you. I left Friend feed for a very long time because there was nothing here. The times they have been a changing.

I'm still trying to figure out how to really make use of this other than just lurking.
- John Meagher
I totally agree Mark....I do lurk on Twitter with an occasional tweet, but love the "conversations" on FF, and find that I have been participating more and more lately.
- Bonnie Foster
Sometimes it takes a while to catch on. Friendfeed is much more interactive than the others. If yo have interesting friends they post interesting stuff. No filtering necessary. The spammers do not get followed.

I am not really a FF newbie. I started with a private feed, shared with some friends some times ago. Then, Brome convinced me to turn my account into public. I then started to comment in english... And here I am!

I was asking to myself why there are blue and white icons on comments.. I have tons of whites though.
- Jacque
I never knew any blue comment, maybe I should follow more people and start commenting

I've been checking it out more because of people like you that have been pushing it's merits. I think I finally "get" the conversational aspect of it. Took me a while!

twit, twit, twit, what more can I say
- Cace Ackerson
Robert, perhaps it's also related to Friendfeed being picked up in Feedburner count?
- Brian Wallace
FriendFeed rocks the house and i am totally happy with it!! Have to say: I luv it :)
- Ronald
FriendFeed does rock, but it is very much a geeks tool. My wife has gotten into twitter but no luck with friendfeed
- Chris Patterson
Yeah, I'm been a lurker on here on FF for the past age and am only getting "in to" it in the last while... Have to turn a lot more of those whites to blue :)
