This rocks! I just wrote a blog post about it. Hey, this is something that is only available here. Facebook? Nope. MySpace? Nope. Twitter? Nope. Congrats to the FriendFeed team. Can't wait to see what's next.

I wish there was away to filter real-time updates by service
- Mo Kargas
Afaik Facebook as a live feed thing going on.. not sure how far it is in terms of real-time, but the idea is somehow similar..
- embee
embed=1, so anyone trying out other numbers?
- Josh Haley
Wow Robert, you get feeds like every second, so hard to follow. Correction, every quarter of a second :)
- Nir Ben Yona
I guess I am really dense. It's cool, but all it does is save me having to reload or refresh, which the old ff actually did periodically anyways. It seems to be feeding the whole "attention span of gnats" culture. Maybe I will understand it much better in the debate room tonight!
- Laura Norvig
real-time FF is almost TOO kinetic... strap yourself in suckas!
- .LAG liked that
what other variables after the ? can we use on this?
- Josh Haley
Laura: you are right in that this isn't useful for everyone one as the primary FriendFeed interface (including me). I personally find it very useful for events like the debate.
- Bret Taylor
Oh, now we REALLY need filtering. I'd love to see a live feed of all items that have the word "Obama" in them, for instance.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: I agree about the filtering.
- Bret Taylor
+filtering the live stream would be awesome!
- Justin Korn
It reorders things too -- on the downside it detaches comments from context, on the upside it means I don't have to figure out which comments on a long thread I've already seen and which are new. Will use it for a while to see which I like better.

@Justin if you have your subscriptions in folders you can open up windows for each..
- Simon Wicks
Since we have been using it internally, I keep the "mini window" open all day on the side of my screen, almost like a chat window. I use it as a notifier. I use the normal FF interface for most of my interaction except for the occasional comment.
- Bret Taylor
it even works on the iPhone. I'll never sleep again.
- Gaby K. Slezák
Ah, I do get quite a sense of it from looking at Scoble + Friends feed. Yikes!
- Laura Norvig
All I need now is a third 22" screen and one more hand to type
