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)
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)
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

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.

he's is part of the ScreenJelly crew launching next week

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.

I use twitter exclusively on iphone, opening a friendfeed link is painful

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
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
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
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?
