Robert Scoble
Hah, @c0diq I answer your complaints about my links and lack of content and other FriendFeedisms here:
The value is in the comments. - Robert Scoble
http://twitter.com/c0diq complains that I link to FriendFeed where he has to read -- horrors -- comments! - Robert Scoble
But I do my links very specifically. I WANT you to read the comments and PARTICIPATE!!! - Robert Scoble
Not to mention that when you do that, you are adding metadata that helps the new real time search features that are MUCH BETTER here on FriendFeed than are over on Twitter. - Robert Scoble
Gee, with mine, the complaint was the extra level of clicking to get to a news item I had aggregated in Friendfeed and relayed to Twitter. - George Hall (Australia)
Also, if you add comments, they all are bundled up and you can permalink to them. Like this bundle. Here, you can link to it: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... - Robert Scoble
That is something you can't do in Twitter. - Robert Scoble
Also, in Twitter, you can't see real time, so you can't "chat" with other people about the topic under hand. Hi George, yeah, I get that complaint once in a while too. - Robert Scoble
My Twitter followers didn't like so many news links aggregated and piped over to Twitter all coming at once (10 at a time). - George Hall (Australia)
Also, if you want scoops you should follow my "like feed" at http://www.friendfeed.com/scoblei... because that's faster than techmeme or reading RSS feeds a lot of the time. - Robert Scoble
I know this guy - net
Agreed, seeing the comments "up top" along with the content is very valuable (at least in FriendFeed's current implementation!) - Jonathan Coffman
net: I wish he'd come here and engage with us about why he doesn't get this. - Robert Scoble
he is sitting beside me - oh no he taking over my keyboard - net
Quite a few advantages to Friendfeed, just some Twitter users haven't quite adapted to it yet. - George Hall (Australia)
In fact, I wish anyone who sits on Twitter and doesn't get FriendFeed would come here and explain why they don't get it. - Robert Scoble
It's like melons. I refuse to try them, even though I might like them. Getting them to come over here and checking this place out is hard. - Mark
he's is part of the ScreenJelly crew launching next week - net
Keep rocking Rob! FF is THE place to interact better with comments. - Fer Isella
Oh well, at least my Friendfeed subscribers still get to read news links from Australian news.com.au and Australian ABC news right here. - George Hall (Australia)
Net: URL? What's that? - Robert Scoble
www.screenjelly.com - net
net: if you put http://www.screenjelly.com it becomes a link. - Robert Scoble
I use twitter exclusively on iphone, opening a friendfeed link is painful - Sylvain Rebaud
(I'm lazy, gotta make it easy for me). - Robert Scoble
FF should fix that link thing too so it hyperlinks www not just http - Mark
I needed something interesting to read on FF before I finally created a FF account. This only happened after someone I followed mentioned Scoble then I followed Scoble and then he mentioned he was going to be on Stategy Room so I watched that. Then more of Scobble's links to FF and chat happened so I create an account and could participate - Nicholas Orr
the founder wants to show it to you next week - and then you can explain the value of ff over twitter - net
net: I will be in London next week unfortunately. - Robert Scoble
okay - they will send you a link - net
net: I just saw he uses an iPhone. Come on, that's no excuse. I use an iPhone with FriendFeed all the time. - Robert Scoble
I don't have a problem going to friendfeed if only there was a link to story before the comments - Sylvain Rebaud
I like to read the story first then the comments ;-) - Sylvain Rebaud
specially for you from http://www.screenjelly.com - net
I wanna use friendfeed with a CrunchPad - Mark
Sylvain: a lot of times when I link over to here I'm linking TO THE COMMENTS. - Robert Scoble
the stuff that sticks on your screen - net
wow you spelled my first name right ! - Sylvain Rebaud
you're the only american that can spell a french name right ;-) - Sylvain Rebaud
ff is like a chat room on steroids - net
Sylvain: well it's right here on my screen, not hard to get it right! - Robert Scoble
he's french - he can't help it - net
wait I thought you were on iPhone, you master copy/paste now ? - Sylvain Rebaud
Sylvain: I'm on my desktop at the moment. I was on iPhone most of today, though, and yes copy and paste rocks. - Robert Scoble
to go back to original complaint, I don't know how people have time to read twitter and friendfeed comments - Sylvain Rebaud
Sylvain: I don't recommend shoving FriendFeed comments over to Twitter. Too noisy. - Robert Scoble
I think friendfeed should find a way to bring up to the top valuable comments and not from everybody - Sylvain Rebaud
Scoble - you just got Sylvain hooked on FF - he's sitting beside me tapping away :) - net
I dont have time for this .. damn - Sylvain Rebaud
net: one person at a time! :-) Wait until he finds the other features. - Robert Scoble
FF is taking over my skype/im/irc channel .. no way - Sylvain Rebaud
Likes going to Twitter doesn't hurt. - George Hall (Australia)
Sylvain: one person's noise is another person's treasure. - Robert Scoble
welcome to FFA Friend Feed Anonymous - new support club - net
right, you said past following 300 people your life is miserable - Sylvain Rebaud
Quick question, would you buy one of these for $1000 ? http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Mark
I am surprised you saw and responded to my post ;-) - Sylvain Rebaud
Sylvain: here in FriendFeed you can put your friends into lists. So you can have lists with lots of people and lists with just a few. - Robert Scoble
Actually, since buddyfeed is the only iphone client for friendfeed which doesn't crash all the time, I use the web browser on the iphone to read FF. Never have a problem with the links at all. - George Hall (Australia)
WTH, everything I type in FF goes to twitter !!! - Sylvain Rebaud
Mark: Steve Jobs has me wrapped around his little finger. - Robert Scoble
Sylvain: you gotta change that in the settings here. I don't have mine going over to Twitter. - Robert Scoble
now you say that ! ;-) - Sylvain Rebaud
Sylvain, you can adjust your FF settings to less goes to Twitter. I had to do that last night. - George Hall (Australia)
I'm down to only blog posts, techcrunch news and geek.com items going over to twitter now. - George Hall (Australia)
ok it should be off now. Robert: Why dont you "Link to source site instead of FriendFeed conversation (does not apply to comments)" ? - Sylvain Rebaud
Robert - I'm way to tired too support you with thought and effort, this time I support you purely in spirit only. - Matthew DeVries
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple... Funny to read old blog posts and see how spectacurlaly wrong so many "sources" are. - Mark
Robert: you want to follow http://twitter.com/screenjelly we're launching next week! - Sylvain Rebaud
Sylvain - you're such a FF virgin - spamming all the internet via twitter..:) - net
I feel dirty - Sylvain Rebaud
Sylvain: because my style of using FriendFeed is to link to comments. I think the comments actually add more value than the source articles a lot of times. - Robert Scoble
Lolling to Sylvain being an FF virgin and feeling dirty. - George Hall (Australia)
Aw, come one...keep this one going. I hate being the thread-killer... - George Hall (Australia)
Sylvain now says he doesn't like "friend of a friend" feature. He doesn't realize he can turn that off. Click on "hide" twice. - Robert Scoble
FF, is so customizable you can turn on or off anything you don't like. Its better than "theres and app for that" iPhone - Luke Kilpatrick
I just joined FriendFeed and like it a lot. - Mathias Staricka
Mathias - welcome :) - Brett Kelly from iPhone
Is sharing only FriendFeed posts preferred to sharing comments as well? In Twitter, @replies are hidden from the main feed, is it worrying to contradict this practice? - Mike Chelen
