Social Media:
Tris Hussey
Just wondering which is the more powerful method/tool for microblogging. I have far more followers on Twitter than here, but I get a lot more comments here than on Twitter. It seems that FF really is becoming the interaction portal (hmm sounds like a good term).

Twitter is really designed to by synchronous. We're not in such a rush on FF, nor are we forced to squish our thoughts into 140 characters. It seems to me that the table is set for more and better discussion.

Twitter is more of a broadcast medium. FriendFeed is a conversation medium.

You're right: Twitter was originally designed to answer one question ("What are you doing?"). It just sort of morphed into something akin to an instant messaging service.

Twitter is the new del.icio.us - stagnant and somewhat clueless as to what do to next.

And it's becoming that portal for me. I see more interesting things people share, then I act on it, but also return here to discuss and see what others think as well. I think the variety of inputs while maintaining context is what is so powerful about FF.

I think that's exactly what people who use both are beginning to do Tris. They will start off a meme on Twitter and then have people follow up with it on Friendfeed (and when I say people, I mean Scoble). Twitter really isn't the place for discussions, it's more a place for conversation and small talk (and of course sharing links and such).

To Muhammad: Twitter = Conversation portal, FF = Discussions portal .....What's about the lifestream of FF?
