Have fun with @Scobleizer, say something nice to him! LOL - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Myself I get blamed for using invite lists on facebook and for breaking the architecture of twitter. Scoble gets blamed for using a script that takes people's contact information. He gets thrown off and argues his way back and I am guilty of the same issues, but because I'm not Alist I do not get the same leverage. He never speaks out about others that go through his own situations. He... more... - Noah David Simon

I love Twitters's raw simplicity yet Friendfeed has better features, especially the agrigation of all my web content. If Friendfeed had a killer iPhone client and I could easily import all my Twitter connections, I would switch. - David Jacobs

when Twitter is working well, it doesn't take that long for the tweet to show up here. I agree, though, they are different, and they work well together. I don't filter Twitter because I don't like it, I do it because the tweets take over the page. - Alejandro

Good stuff Loic. I love both services. I think they are very complementary and I think they will both succeed. Regarding the time lag of the tweets on FF raised by Mr. Gillmor - I don't think that's such a bad thing. If there is a tweet worth commenting on we can probably use a few minutes to think about it and prepare a response on FriendFeed. - Mike Doeff

@Mathias - check out http://fftogo.com for mobile access to FF. :-) this cool app was recently created by FF master user Benjamin Golub. - Susan Beebe

@Susan Wow, FFToGo is great. If @Benjamin sees this, please incorporate the smart compaction of long comment threads. Then it's perfect! - Carter Rabasa

There isn't an ideal way to compact comments right now because you can't get the details for an individual entry through the FF API (for instance I couldn't just say, give me the comments for this entry, I have to "happen" upon it in list of entries) and I can't use Javascript. I have a few ideas though. I'm also accepting feedback here: http://friendfeed.com/rooms... - Benjamin Golub

Twitter's worse than my 110-baud acoustic modems. At least those were a consistent 110-baud... I often argued to people that the Web never would have succeeded before the 9600-baud modem.

Seriously guys, time to move on to FF. Those of you who use the twitter IM bot, all you have to do is add im@mojipage.com to your GTalk/XMPP client and then start "fweeting" (to a specific room if you don't want to pollute your main feed with short blurbs) More info: http://mojipage.com/pages/bot/ - Wil

"I don't disagree with the statement that they are both different things, but I'd still argue (as I did earlier) that of any company or startup, FriendFeed is best placed to move into that space and kill Twitter. They aren't the same now, but like FF Rooms it wouldn't be a huge leap for FF to start offering a Twitter style clean, simple, short messaging service as an option; think the current FF messaging/ direct posting but refined and delivered quasi-standalone for those who just want the Twitter-type experience. On this "FriendFeed on the other hand is a pure aggregation tool"...well it started this way, but I'm seeing more and more direct conversations on it, particularly when Twitter is down. If FF follows a similar path to Twitter (remember Twitter was originally a mobile/SMS style service) users will start demanding more refined messaging tools, so perhaps FF becomes more Twitter like (and eventually a Twitter killer) by evolution." - Duncan Riley

As soon as all the interesting people I follow on Twitter are here (and it may be soon) I will just turn off twhirl/Twitter and forget about it - Brian Sullivan

I agree that the two services are complementary rather than competitve. They serve different purposes. Some will use FF as a Twitter replacement, but that isn't where it's going to shine. As you stated in the post, Matthew, Twitter's biggest enemy is itself. - Gregory Pittman from twhirl

I think twitter is non-intrusive whereas friendfeed is more engaging so i dont see myself moving out of twitter currently - Kapil

there's no "block" feature on friend feed. that's major. - B.L. Ochman

FF appears fast and stable - that, to me is critical - hopefully the features will come - hopefully they are reading their own feedback group comments - Mot Faerin

BL I can hide things here which is far better than block. - Robert Scoble

Early adopters do what what all early adopters do... whether it trickles down to the masses is a different story. Twitter is more cognitively ergonomic than FriendFeed, which is a combination of too many things. Twitter it is for the rest of us. - Kevin Lim

@Brian the majority of my Twitter friends are on FriendFeed, I don't use Twhirl as much as I used to now jut leaving the web page open and refreshing! - Joe Dawson

it's about the users and the data, I think people should be more concerned about how to monetize it (VC and waiting for acquisition doesn't count) - francis dupuis from Alert Thingy

FriendFeed has cool features, but I don't see it replacing Twitter for me any time soon. I like both, but use Twitter much more (when it's actually online :) ). - Daniel Shaw

I wish FF woujld make the font darker in this comment box, and the box as large as Twitter. It's harder to read and comment as quickly as Twitter. If FriendFeed did that, they would totally challenge Twitter. - Cathryn Hrudicka

I've been playing with it being off and on. On brings the data here, off lets me use Twhirl. But if the XMPP version of Twirl is coming soon, then all will be good an joyous in the world. Of course this might blow twitter completely out of the water. - Tris Hussey

I have all tweets hidden in FriendFeed anyway. I may do the same, actually. - Phil G

@Phil - I personally like getting the tweets. They really are microblogs, just as worthy of Likes and Comments as full blogs. I'm not terribly active on Twitter anyway, so I don't feel the duplication issue. - Hutch Carpenter

I hide twitter posts unless they've been commented on. That is such a nice nuanced feature. That said, I'm already over all the twitter/friendfeed posts that dominate the overall friendfeed content stream. Fascinating, sure, but talk about a circle jerk :-) - Jason Toney

Some of us don't know the subtleties of FriendFeed's "hide" feature. How about a tutorial? - Thomas Ho from fftogo

pretty simple, actually, in your "friends" feed, you should see "hide" as an option on certain types of entries. Click it. When you do so, the content for that entry will dissapear and then you'll see two new menu items - "undo" and "more options" (or something to that effect). In that "more options" menu, you'll get more control over the types of things you've hidden. - Jason Toney

The problem with Friendfeed's HIDE feature is very subtle. There's not a downward arrow/triangle to imply that this is a drop down menu. I used to be scared to click "Hide" because it didn't look like there were MORE options (kinda like how More has the arrow, you know there's more options). Once you click "Hide", you'll see that you have a good selection of choices-- by user, service, just one post, etc. Pretty easy. UI needs a tweak. (I'm an old design/UI person/product person so I obsess on this stuff) : - Eric Rice

I have been told I'm more coherent in some mediums over others. I have to hack the social norm of Twitter and work around 140 chars, causing spam.Anything threaded, I can get to the point faster, without obsessing about having to delete spaces or type like a 12 yo who's in ur feed lol. Other trivia: I'm not a raging lunatic in video as can be perceived in print; I hardly generate data on Facebook, etc. One size does not fit all. - Eric Rice
