Robert Scoble
I noticed something. When I read my feeds on Google Reader, I get smarter. When I read Twitter I learn how boring our lives usually are. When I read FriendFeed I find out how smart you are. All three have their place. :-)
I only use Twitter and FriendFeed... goes to show how smart I am ;) - Michael Forian
When I read your in depth personal sharings like this, I love www more. Peace! ;-) - Erhan Erdogan
It's not about either or, it's all about AND - Dave Martin
Strange I find FriendFeed covers all three for me - Brian Sullivan
Brian: and your comment just proved my point true above! :-) - Robert Scoble
We love you too scoble, we love you too ;) - Alemsah Ozturk
Nicely put. - Nicholas Kreidberg
I feel the humor factor shows up better here than Reader and Twitter. - Scot Duke
Twitter doesn't make me realize how boring our lives are, just that our lives are all very much the same no matter who we are, where we live, and/or what we do. Which is kind of cool to me. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
+1 @Brian - cjmart
still got to catch with all the friendfeed updates!! Still hanging around with fcbk and orkut!! - Moksh Juneja from twhirl
Thinking about it, I agree with you, Robert - Migger
Well said... I mostly just use Twitter and FriendFeed but should get back on habit of reading what matters at Google Reader. - Daniel Schildt
And of course, you posted on friendfeed instead of twitter. ;-) - Brent Logan
so everone on FF uses Google Reader, whereas I use Bloglines. Why Google Reader? - anna sauce
@anna. GR + feedly = fun - Dave Martin
I've abandoned both Google Reader and Twitter. - Thomas Hawk
LOL. funny but true. i still use all three. but i use FF most of the time and also incorporated it into my blog. to make it look a little smarter :) - ~C4Chaos
i use the hell of of ff and greader, but they lack the humanity of twitter. i'm an infojunkie, but there has to be more to life online than just data. - eric mortensen from twhirl
I find Google Reader the most useful of the three by far. But when I want to discuss something or see what others with like interests are talking about, I find FriendFeed to be the place to go. - Jeff P. Henderson
Robert, I try to have the same effect from all three :) when i m done with the daily minimum i switch to the second effect and finally third :) - Hayk H.
On the consumption end, I agree. On the production end, however, I find that I share more in FriendFeed directly than sharing from GoogleReader (because I can attach pictures to the share in FF -- plus it shows up immediately). That seems to make my FriendFeed feed smarter than my GoogleReader feed. (Doesn't matter that much, tho, as they're combined in the end.) - Christopher Galtenberg
I have to say that I'm a FF addict like the rest of us, but the past few days I've found it kinda boring and self-serving. Now that's bound to happen, but the chatter seems to have become less interesting of late and more like graffiti IMO. Maybe it's an end of summer thing. - Jason Goldberg
Well that would be a judgement upon your friends, not the service, nay? :) (update: lol, just saw your friendfeed subscription come thru - the pressure's on!!) - Christopher Galtenberg
@christopher sorta yes, of course. the question i do have is how much will be graffiti vs. substance? again, i'm an addict, just wondering - Jason Goldberg
@Jason, it's time out for the Olympics! - asiriusgeek
@jason we need a friendfeed substance pledge! (actually just a way to mark FF contributions as private graffiti, to use your helpful terminology) - Christopher Galtenberg
Friendfeed indirectly feeds my google reader - so it makes me smarter too - George Smith
I have to agree with this one totally Robert. Top 3 in my 'social graph' right now. I do pick up an occasional important passing item from Twitter (when time allows). GReader would be better if more people shared. Friendfeed is providing the best remote networking opportunity I've ever seen (and can be fun too!). All of the other 'new' tools bear watching and are all 'pipes' for those looking to promote themselves, or their products. - Charlie Anzman
Trying to figure out what Identi.ca makes me. People don't tend to just blabber on identi.ca as much as Twitter. I find there are a lot of really smart developers there, so is it becoming a community for developers then? - Jesse Stay
Every once in a great while now, when things seem to take a momentary awkward silence on FF, I may poke my head in to twitter or my rss feeds. There's just so much good activity here, it's hard to turn my head away sometimes. - Pete Delucchi
Lovely comment Robert! Had me laughing... - Mitchell Tsai
Yap, but Twitter also shows how crazy people can be driven ;) - Martin Gommel
I'm starting to get this. Thanks for the coaching. - Pete Steege
