robert without even getting the new FF, the pause button tell a lot - abdellah

Still not live as far as I can tell. Bret Taylor did just suggest he might move it up early in another thread though. - Daniel J. Pritchett

Brian: it will be at 9 a.m. - Robert Scoble

FriendFeed is real time (reality), twitter is too slow :) = FriendFeed is the NEWS feed - Susan Beebe

just a question, how DM will work? I mean how will FF define Friend from subscribers? - abdellah

checking out Beta right now...love it :) nice, simple design - improvements are well conceived - Susan Beebe

hmm just checking it... not sure if I dig it or not. - mikepk

gosh..it' up! - Zee.

oh yes susane it is here too :) - abdellah

Definitely feelin' the love for friendfeed. but just wait 'til the bandwidth gets up there and ff critical mass really kicks in. then performance might be more comparable. - Rob Schieber

Cool, how do you like it? - Robert Scoble

Have to say that I like the new FF more than the old one. :) - Matti Leppänen

The live update motion is interesting, but might get old pretty soon ... will reserve my judgment. - Clarence Chiang

Yeah but i use tweetdeck which is fast, but no FF integration... - Justin Long

Ah scoble found a new toy. I love your youthful enthusiasm. - Gerard van Schip

Not an entirely fair comparison, most people that use Twitter for much at all are using a 3rd party interface; much of the value of Twitter is in the flexibility of the API - Dave Schwab

the rounded corner !! too much - abdellah

Twitter doesn't feel old and dead at all. It just feels different, and very valuable. - Andru Edwards

You might change your mind once twitscoop v2 is out, Robert... - twitscoop

twitscoop: let me know when that's out. - Robert Scoble

yea i am definitly liking this live real time feed - Jason Stephens

not with powertwitter add on - Ouriel Ohayon

But Robert... Twitter thru the web is useless anyway. It's not a Web site, dude, it's a communications protocol. Who cares what the interface looks like?! We care about the API, about the server performance, etc. We'll code/create/mash our own UIs! - Alister Cameron

Yes, but I'm dizzy following this. I will have to learn to drive it like a car. I like it for breaking news, but not for real conversation - Francine Hardaway

unfair.. open old friendfeed and twitter for a real comparison.. when twitter v2 comes out then compare tbh... - Stuart Evans

Twitter is picking up comments on FF but if FF is linked to Twitter it will republish the Twitter link to the FF comment! - Justin Long

Agreed, but now FF just looks like Facebook to me. - Dave Hodson

beta still not available for me, can't wait to test it! - Arnaud Fischer

checking the brand new beta.friendfeed.com !! is it a combination of iRC , twiter and real time frienfeed and ... wow !!! - Rocky

I agree with Alister above....Twitter is a utility the way that FM radio is...it carries the convo, there should be no need to use twitter.com - Jason Stephens

Even with Tweetdeck? There's a balance here. Speed kills! - Steve Rubel

Please stop with the "Dead" talk. Only attention monger bloggers use that type of language... ;) - Jeremiah Owyang

Friendfeed is now Twitter on crack. - pcnerd37

Agree with Robert. And Steve has a point about Tweetdeck. - Roberto Bonini

it's crazy, if I don't at it for one minute everything goes away and other stuff shows up. maybe I just subscribe to too many people but I hate it when the text I'm reading moves on the screen - Mihai Secasiu
