Now I'm glad I got my vanity URL for FB. However I'm not about to go crazy friending y'all just yet as I hate the interface.

I didnt really want to add everyone i know on friendfeed to my facebook, i like to keep them seperate as much as i can. but you know what, fuck it http://www.facebook.com/simon... add a note saying you;re from friendfeed if you add me, then i can group everyone up :)

Thanks, Simon. I've not started going through these yet. :-)

I'm only going to add the people i actually talk to on here. I have a lot less people on my follow list than you, so its a bit easier for me :)

Yahoo is irrelevant to me. It gives me nothing I can't get elsewhere.
- Jim Connolly
Compuserve has new page.. yay.Wait looks like AltaVista changed something too. in other words- meh! But that is from a techie- general public still uses it and AT&T DSL subscribers use it.
- Alyx
They're still a traffic juggernaut thanks to the SBC|DSL deal. Millions and millions of SBC (Now AT&T) home DSL users have Yahoo set as their homepage and have no idea how to switch it and in most cases don't want to because their e-mail is run through there too.

Flickr became irrelevant once I started using webspace more. Am an oldschool member though.
- Omar
There is an important strategic difference between no longer growing and dead. Yahoo is no longer growing; they own the wrong market segments.
- James Watters
And I don't know why people would knock them. Yahoo!'s homepage and the my.yahoo.com page have so much more to offer than what Google gives you. The search results are only mildly different, at least in my limited testing.
- Adam Turetzky
I never said Yahoo is dead. I said I don't care.

Scoble: Why do you "not" care?
- Hoop
@Robert; yeah, just reacting to a few, they are toast comments and people talking about a few apps they still have left as if that matters.

@jamesurquhart had an interesting twitter discussion today asking how many comcast people use their provider as their homepage; Apparently comcast has stats saying many many do. I think I'm very out of touch with the average internet user, as are most of my friends out here.
- James Watters
Scoble: You probably shouldn't. For some reason when I read you saying you don't care I infer it as an implication that you don't think other people should. Truth be told I'm not sure how much time I'll spend there but if Yahoo's homepage turns out to be a better FriendFeed, I'd give it a week try-out
- Hoop
I guess one or two of us here will peek at Yahoo tomorrow to see what they're up to....
- Gus
Omar, how do you mean Flickr became irrelevant?
- Rutger Blom
from email
@Hoop, their new homepage will emulate FF?
- James Watters
Not really. I stopped using Yahoo! in 2001.
- Chantal
I just looked at their home page for the first time in years...ick!
- James Watters
@James, only in the sense that it seems to let me pull content from lots of other sites togeter. That's the main value I get from FriendFeed, pulling together multiple social networks including my friend lists. FriendFeed is fantastic but far from the ultimate experience
- Hoop
@Rutger - just from my perspective, and most people who have been online for a good period. It's still a solid offering, just not as innovative as it was in the early days vs comparative products. It stood on its own then...
- Omar
@Hoop, if they made it primarily about social feeds that would def be big news, esp in an innovative way. But I doubt they will go that far, their existing users would bark.
- James Watters
@Hoop - I still want to find a team to build c0nnected.net into an intelligent intake mechanism - what I'm calling the neural extentive internet, in my head.. I do not code however. wrote a short abstract on it, would be happy to email the concept if requested. Intelligent metrics, full customization, etc. . .
- Omar
@hoop - Abstract topic - Topic: true data singularity or the neural extentive humanistic content management system, [considerations leading eventually to "the neural extensis," a proposed eventual website.]
- Omar
Omar: please explain data singularity?
- James Watters
@James, agreed but if they found a way to bridge that it woudl be huge news. The FriendFeed experience with really simple UX and heavier weight on Yahoo's own content feeds woudl be huge. Alas that's not what I'm seeing on the new homepage and like Scoble, I don't care about anything I see so far.
- Hoop
I am another of those that hasn't looked at Yahoo's home page in years so I couldn't care less about there homepage changes.
- russellcoleman
@James - well I'm not a CS head, so the terminology isn't a declarative absolutism, just what I decided to call it.. this is an abstract developed in a vacuum, thus far. All your data, encapsulated and delivered to a single point. Much like we do google reader for RSS (those that do), however every source in your social media net and ALL your other browser based http traffic can be drawn in. . .

I'm not as fascinated by the site as I am about the liberation of my data, what Doug Purdy calls the infobus. maybe it starts with a more federated/open FriendFeed. But eventually I do want an app to show me all the data in one place and organized and it will come down to the App with the best experience. Owning my data shouldn't be an advantage. If Yahoo gave me that, I'd care.
- Hoop
@Hoop - You've given me some interesting things to think about. The beauty of the idea I am proposing is you can pull other data you'd read regularly,, or for a short time into the offering. Completely customizable. Think of it as a fully customized scraper of sorts, for things that don't already have a feed, or an API, that you're interested in reading and or keeping track of. And yes, it'd be pulling in things like google calendar, etc of course! Please elabourate a bit on "owning data," ?

I stopped using Yahoo years ago. Yahoomail has a pretty incompetent spam blocker. The Yahoo page is much too busy. I went All Gmail/Google but of late, Gmail's been pretty flaky. Yahoo search is probably pretty good, but we're past the Good Enough stage, now. For something new to elbow in, it's got to be very significantly better or different (and engaging).

Hoop: Thanks for the link! Tried to see new homepage earlier and wasn't prompted by Yahoo, as I expected. My first take is that the redesign is cleaner and more flexible.

But I'll still hit My Yahoo daily.

Friendfeed is better for Iranian students because you can have private groups that the state can't see into.
- Robert Scoble
The search here is much better, especially if you have groups of people who you are following.
- Robert Scoble
Because of features like "likes" news is easier to spread to your friends.

Technically friendfeed is way ahead of other networks. You are seeing the news in real time here, for instance.
- Robert Scoble
Friend management is MUCH better here. On Twitter you can only have one list of friends. Here? Infinite.
- Robert Scoble
Why is FriendFeed better than Facebook? Infinite numbers of friends, which makes it better for organizing protests and such.

Alex: I tried last weekend and at the Twitter conference with CNN, but they don't ask for help. They think they are so cool because they read Tweets on air.

If the state is able to intercept the communications, they need not see into the rooms as they already have the http post data.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
(but that's not to say that the majority of what is above is incorrect)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Rob: the state is, although many of the students are using proxy servers that encrypt all communications.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Sorry to hear that -- not that you tried -- but that they didn't listen. So much potential to meld the real-time Web with the cable news networks. Caught myself getting upset with the CNN anchors today. No attribution of Tweets or the YouTube videos they are showing.
- Alex Howard
Rob: the only way you can use Twitter and friendfeed in Iran right now is through proxy servers.
- Robert Scoble
I'm aware of that, but the data is not encrypted before the proxy, only after
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Also, here when we have a conversation with tons of Tweets like this one you can bundle up the whole bunch and link people to the entire conversation. That's impossible to do on Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
Scoble: one might argue that the fact twitter is open has helped them quite a bit
- BryanSchuetz
Bryan: yes, Twitter is getting more than its fair share of mentions because Twitter is simple, open, and public.
- Robert Scoble
if it's all private you can't get the mob involved
- BryanSchuetz
but once the mob is involved keeping it going in a good direction becomes difficult
- BryanSchuetz
Bryan: I told 15 people I was quitting Microsoft and within three days had tens of millions of media mentions. You'd be surprised how fast things move from small groups to big mobs.
- Robert Scoble
using "mob" intentionally here as well. Lots of missteps going on from all the people on twitter trying to help but unwittingly making things worse
- BryanSchuetz
Friendfeed seems more resilient against disinformation - there is a great deal of disinformation and warnings against it on twitter right now
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Robert, great points on why Friendfeed would be of use to Iranian students. Given that they're limited to short bursts of transmission or tunneling in on the Web to upload video, I wonder whether students in-country would really be better served.
- Alex Howard
While I agree with your technical sentiments, let's remember that this is about the people of Iran. I am more than willing to use as many channels as necessary to provide aid. Yes to Twitter, to Friendfeed, to Facebook. Heck, let's even include Orkut for that matter. But the most important channel of communications is between ourselves and our God. May God's will be made known to all...

- Lorin Olsen
You can't expect CNN to be this far ahead of the curve. Even though I agree that they would benefit immensely from using services like FF, they are just getting started with this. At least they are trying new things. I think that the "old media" are waking up just in time. It will be interesting to see what television will look like a few years from now.
- Wim Mulder
guruvan, perhaps Friendfeed seems more "resilient" because the userbase is at least an order of magnitude smaller?
- William Anderson
I think event news will continue to look more like what CNN is doing, sifting through the online media for real people telling truth and giving perspective from on the ground in hotspots
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
guruvan you mean they will actually ...whats the word for it... report?
- BryanSchuetz
Lorin: you are very close to getting blocked for trying to take the conversation back to some sort of religious argument.
- Robert Scoble
William: perhaps, but there is also more leadership here on FriendFeed, and it's not quite such a mob in the first place. the more organized discussions lead people to gravitate toward each other, and natural leaders come forth - I've just over the last hour spent some time looking therough a few feeds, and translating as fast as I can, and seen exactly this
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
William: Twitter was ALWAYS down when it had far fewer people on it than friendfeed has today. Friendfeed is done by five superstars from Google. The technology here is so much better than Twitter's it isn't even funny.
- Robert Scoble
You all should watch the Public Feed here and see how much Farsi is being used: http://friendfeed.com/public
- Robert Scoble
In Twitter's defense, they're holding up under the current pressure pretty well.

- Robert Scoble

- BryanSchuetz
Can twitter access through third party software like seesmic desktop if it is blocked?
- Nyan Min
Yes Farsi is good here Robert !!!
- Myrna
Bryan: I mean that the people will report, and the news organizations will try to determine the truth by corroborating stories, and centralizing information, and then distribute more easily digested chunks of the reports - something like twitter is very difficult for average people to digest for news. I have several search streams running and it's very difficult to kepp up
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Robert: I wasn't referring to technical resiliency.
- William Anderson
Nyan: not sure, possibly. In China my blog is blocked but I could see my blog on Google Reader.
- Robert Scoble
Nyan: It's likely that access through many clients is broken, but it is also likely that the governement does not know of every client. Clients that are unknown, or use transport other than port 80 http are more likely to work from Iran.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Guruvan: I hope so. CNN simply reading tweets on the air is not how I think MSM should be using tools like that. They are tools that can help them find the story, they seem to be making the tools the story, which is doubly irritating because we all understand the tools better than they do.
- BryanSchuetz
In the absence of other verifiable news, you might as well read tweets on the air. Especially if you have some kind of backend tweet processing that is filtering things like the more RTed phrases, links etc etc. (not that they are doing that, I don't really know, but I do doubt it....they should maybe hire me to build it) ;)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
@scobleizer The only question I'd have for you on this -- I validate your points -- is in timing. Why advocate for FF now, when Twitter is clearly allowing Iranians to get info out? The tech is great, on any number of levels, but I'm a wee bit surprised to see the push for it pop up. Do you feel that strongly? I know you're personally invested in getting good information and protecting people, given your family, so I view your motives as fairly unimpeachable.
- Alex Howard
Alex: I've been advocating FF consistently no matter what the news is for more than a year now. Has nothing to do with now. And Twitter is blocked in Iran, just like FriendFeed. FriendFeed is a better place for students and protesters to organize. Why? Private rooms. Real TIme. And all the other reasons I give above.
- Robert Scoble
More clients need to be developed that include FriendFeed to make it more readily available in time of crisis and during information blockades
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
the key in this conversation is not which method is best for us , but what is most useful to those inside Iran. Friendfeed seems to be a much more cohesive way to communicate not as much noise, and the noise can be easily filtered
- Kim Landwehr
Yes Kim, I agree what can we do for Iranians here with FF.

- Robert Scoble
Jason: Exactly. Each one needs to be carried out better. Most importantly, each time we learn faster/better ways to deal with governments clamping down on communications. The internet is designed (inherently) as a tool of Freedom.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
@Robert Scoble I would have to agree with your point.

Robert, now that your blog is no longer hosted by Wordpress, it may be accessible in China. Or perhaps the government just don't like you.

Nick: Operational in Iran? Brett's post of their drop in traffic from Iran would suggest that both http and https are blocked, and the only thing getting through from Iran is proxies (and those are being blocked at a pretty good clip too)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Rob - You're right. You had commended on Iran being able to snoop http: protocol of FF. I was just pointing out FF also uses https. They can't snoop it, but they can indeed block it.
- Nick in Manila
Running something like FF or Twitter servers internally would let CNN and friends organize information and interoperate better. Sounds like a growth opportunity for FF.

- Jennifer
@Jandy AT&T's upgrade policy is no different than any other cell carrier's policy, in making you wait 2 years before upgrading for a greatly reduced price. I am excited that they're subsidizing at all actually; when I bought my original iPhone there wasn't any subsidizing and I paid full-price *and* was locked into a 2-year contract. If you ask me, their policy now is a lot better than it was then.

"I just loaded Chrome for Mac. While only a dev version, it all seems to be there. The speed is really good on heavy javascript pages. My standby is still FF, although I keep Safari up to date now on the Mac for when I'm debugging some code or the rare cookie conflict. As for IE being forced, in Windows dominated entreprises, where Group Policies are often set, requiring a uniform version across the company is not a hard thing. If IE8 deserves mainstream use, then it will propagate appropriately. The enterprise is always last to join this trend since they need to be careful that whatever theyre installing doesn't "Vista" their business."

One really good reason to use a desktop reader is that some of them can monitor pages that don't have a feed and alert you to any changes. Essential feature for keeping ALL of your software up to date.

I like Google Reader too, but I am an administrator on 3 forums and have to subscribe to feeds for the admin boards, and that requires a reader that can accept a username & pass to log me in to access the nonpublic feeds. I also like having popup notification when new posts are made on these forums, so I can quickly delete spam within 30 seconds of it being posted.
- April Russo (app103)
feedly is messy. google reader has toomany limitations and is visually all screwed up. i don't understand why newsgator doesn't make an rss reader similar to netnewswire. feeddemon isn't horrible, but it could be so much better. netnewswire is probably the best i've tried and continue to use. only for mac, but the best thing is that it's free.
- Cee Bee
Cee Bee: Is there a specific part of feedly you find messy?
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Excuse my novice-ship, but one condition I enjoy about feedly is that it allows me to both upload to my twitter and my friendfeed accounts, almost simultaneously, and the luxury of sharing it with other g-friends. Now, if feeddemon can do all of this, I'm sold.Sold I tells ya!!
- Terence
edwin -- i have over 600 subscriptions and found it a bit of a nuisance to navigate in the small space on feedly as well as view other people's shares. this goes the same for google -- it tries to fit too much into one space (notes, shares, suggestions, options, etc) whereas with a stand alone program like netnewswire, i can have all the options, settings and other gadgets for different functions not only in a separate tool bar, but menu as well leaving the dedicated rss reader to do what it does best
- Cee Bee
cee bee - thanks for the feedback. I will pass that to the design team.
- Edwin Khodabakchian
used to use that when I didnt have a Mac , it is a good one
- johnpiercy
For those of you who don't know already, FeedDemon is the (slightly) lesser cousin of NetNewsWire. They both share the same parent - Newsgator.
- JazJaz
Unfortunately I think any app has to be benchmarked against Google Reader. If not, it's nothing more than an RSS scraper.
- Glenn Batuyong
have been using this when a) i had to pay for it and b) google reader did not exist. and still love it. if only for sentimental reasons ....
- denise
I don't think I'll ever use a desktop RSS reader. I need my reader to be in the cloud b/c I read from 3 workstations. I love Google reader esp w/ sharing.
- Keith - @tsudo
@tsudohnimh FeedDemon can synchronize feeds across multiple computers too. And you can also share items just like you do with Google Reader. Trouble is, not many people know about these features. FD can be customized to provide an uncluttered, aesthetic interface to read your feeds.
- JazJaz
@JazJaz ty for the info. Does it also provide a web interface for reading feeds?
- Keith - @tsudo
tsudo, FeedDemon syncs with newsgator, which on top of syncing each copy of FeedDemon with each pc you use, also syncs with their online reader at http://www.newsgator.com, also mobile at http://m.newsgator.com
- Shmoe
No web version mean me no like. I don't want to keep installing apps. I want cross platform compatibility.

twhirl, ping.fm support. else I'd switch to something with groups.

Nambu, because I like to access any thread with a single click (sidebar) and I can create custom groups based on searches and followers. Nambu rocks :)

TweetDeck - I like the groups feature. The interface & tools (including filtering) are intuitive. I used to like Twhirl, but TweetDeck's group feature won me over. For now.
- phil baumann
Leandro, you can add searches to groups too on Nambu? How?
- Zee.
I've tried twhirl and tweetdeck but I much prefer using the site. On the Blackberry I'm now using Ubertwitter. Liking it better than Twitterberry.
- ♥patricia♥
I use Tweetdeck for my company's account, because of the groups and search features. Twitterfox at work for my personal account, because it's tiny and inobtrusive. At home, I think I'll probably be using Tweetie most since the latest version fixed my issues with notifications and RT syntax, but I still have Seesmic Desktop and Twhirl around for good measure. On the iPhone, Tweetie.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
@zee ya
- rob friedman
@rob there are so many really easy way to post to ping.fm, surely that cant be the only reason your sticking with Twhirl?
- Zee.
Tweetdeck - mainly for the same reasons phil mentioned.
- Taylor
shrug, the message routing worked easiest. So I can still use SMS to ping.fm if i'm out. ideally i'd just like my client to ping.fm then have them push it out.

Tweetie! [Oh, why - multiple accounts, simplicity (yet still does search, url shortening and retweet). iPhone version previews links and sends to instapaper, which I find indispensable. Both mac and iphone.]

- Zee.
Ping.fm ..oh and Tiny Twitter on my Blackberry.

FriendFeed
- Louis Simoneau
oh but you can't actually add them to the group like u would a person

@Zee make imaginary friends with your own custom feed searches and then dump them into friendlists.

you mean on FF yeah?

you mean, add the search to an existing group like persons.. hmm no.. But anyway searches are permanent until you remove them.. On twitter.. Nambu is Twitter only at the moment

Tweetdeck, mainly, but Seesmic Desktop, despite its faults (like reflowing for no reason, and screwing it up), is growing on me. Mainly because it has multiple account support.

I mentioned Seesmic Desktop! Uh, to say I wasn't using it... But whatever. Actually, I like Seesmic, but I want to see more support for more services in it before I use it a lot. For just Twitter, I like the other clients better.

TwitVim + Friendfeed. I'm biased because I wrote TwitVim but I also post some @replies from FF.
- Morton Fox
Leandro, try eventbox bleeding edge version - it has smart folders which let you combine twitterers, twitter searches, rss feeds, friends from facebook and more. It really is the ultimate "grouping" i've come across. The downside...if you follow a lot of people and have a lot of rss feeds, you get the spinning wheel a lot...they're working on fixing that though
- Zee.
Tweetdeck for reasons mentioned, as well as the ability to add a column for search. UI seems more intuitive.

The Air clients I've tried -- Twirl, etc, just don't handle well enough for me. No drag & drop, strange paste from the clipboard. They're so glaringly not mac apps. As a dev, I understand why co's do them, but, as a user, too many compromises -- especially when the Tweeties & Twitteriffics are out there. Anybody else feel this way? Or am I just one of those fussy mac users :)?

i'm with you 100% Eric

PeopleBrowsr on the desktop - way more powerful than Tweetdeck or Seesmic. More networks(Facebook, FriendFeed, identi.ca Youtube, digg, more), better search, Twitter DM via email, extended profiles, in-line thread viewing, more stacks(columns) Available as Browser app OR AIR. On the mobile (nokia 6085 j2me phone) jibjib.

Twhirl, definitely

Wow, Rob....does it have a Mac version of the desktop?

- Patrick Boegel
@guruvan i really tried to get to grips with PeopleBrowser but my GOD does it need work on it's UI. It was genuinely painful to look at

and does people browser do multiple accounts? I'm using Seesmic "preview" right now because of that.
- Mark Traphagen
twitterfox or tweetdeck
- Phillip Miller
i am using twhirl i love twhirl not a fan of tweetdeck i kinda like the seesmic desktop but still twhirl is my drug of choice (cus it does have the FF access in it)
- Angela P.
I understand the Beta will do that [multiple accounts] Mark: And Mac version? It's AIR or in your browser...platform agnostic
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Zee: I've made some suggestion to the devs about the business about it. and changing the default colors REALLY helps. It's a really complicated application and has a learning curve, but IMO well worth it

TweetDeck right now. Was using Twhirl, then decided to give TweetDeck a try. I like the Facebook integration on TweetDeck and the larger layout on the laptop. Twhirl was a bit small. However, i liked the search and search alerts better on twhirl. TweetDeck after three screens, falls off the page. Loaded SeesmicDesktop today, so that's next. Tweetie on the iPhone does it for me.

@Molly, no you shouldn't be (dreaming that is)...Lets just hope Friendfeed adds features so it can become property twitter client in itself. We need retweeting, (optional) posting without links back to friendfeed and (optional) hiding of all @replies...that should really do it.

@Fleagle - Twitter dated themselves from the get-go. I can't (and won't) be limited to 140 characters. I do not like that responses/replies just seem to randomly show up (instead of being tied to their original conversation).

That's great and you guys are great for helping them. I'm not knocking FriendFeed but when you're dealing with the masses (as in thousands - hundreds of thousands of people), there is just no way. Remember, we are tkg abt a public that is still scared to interact.

Talked to a few people about Twitter the other day (they were wondering about it because of all the recent celeb hype), but they still don't see the appeal/utility/fun of the site. FB on the other hand... everyone gets that. I think it's part, all-in-one functionality and part everyone else is doing it so it's easy psychology.
- felix
I think the best way to explain FriendFeed is that it brings together all those networking sites like Twitter your friends are using so they only have to check one place. Unfortunately, it requires them to set up all their networking sites unless you set up an imaginary friend which is a difficult concept for most of them. It has great potential, but the interface needs to be simplified in order for the masses to handle it.
- Ernie Oporto
Ernie, the problem with that is that most people are already doing that with Facebook - using Facebook's built-in functionality for photos, video, status updates, link sharing, etc. rather than the individual services that pipe into FriendFeed. For them, FriendFeed is a solution to a problem they don't have. (I don't personally like FB's all-in-one approach; I'm just interpreting how I see my friends using Facebook vs. other social media.)
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Facebook can never be as good at managing, say, photos as a site that is dedicated to managing photos. This is good if you consider your interaction and data as ephemeral (get your pictures up, people look at them, everyone forgets about them because time marches on), but not ideal. They can try to be everything to everyone, but they won't be really strong in any of those areas. That's both good and bad, and may or may not fit in with everyone's usage model and goals.
