Twitter VS FriendFeed. I've only been on FriendFeed for a few days - since Scobleizer posted the video showing the features. I gotta say it's starting to prove to me how much better it is than Twitter. Twitter is too constrained for true conversations. There's def'ly more interesting content on FF.

And in recent days I've started seeing the twitter over-capacity message again - the reason I dropped my first account on it earlier in 2008.

Welcome, glad I could help but it has actually been quiet lately.

Friendfeed is different then Twitter. Why is everyone trying to compare them, Friendfeed is made for discussions that doesn't mean Twitter is any less of a service. Twitter is not made for large discussions just quick messages.

I'm experiencing the same thing. Only problem is taking the time to subscribe to all the people I follow in Twitter.

To me Friendfeed and Twitter are two different things
- Adriana
Alex, I would say that they are similar in terms of short content items, with pointers to external content, about which people have conversations, or data interchanges.

The other thing is, FF just seems to present more "use value" for me. Twitter is just *status*, and Facebook already has that as it's *least* valuable feature.

Scot - Twitter is much more than just status'ing to me. Have you used it for a long period of time? At first I thought the same but over time saw differently.

I like FF much better than twitter because it is threaded and you can have an actual conversation on a single topic.

Jeff Hilimire, I used Twitter a lot last year, but when they had their performance issues, I deleted my account 'cos I got sick of it being down. I re-added the new account maybe two months ago. The FF threading is *the* killer feature.

I was all about twitter until I checked out friendfeed the second time. The first time I looked and thought, "ack there's too much stuff." And I didn't know what feeds were. Now, I love the stuff and feel like twitter is missing a lot.
