Lately I've been really getting into FriendFeed. Part of the reason that I like the site so much is that it provides a far superior experience to graze Flickr than Flickr itself. Don't get me wrong, FriendFeed does not replace Flickr, rather it enhances Flickr and provides functionality that Flickr itself does not. With that in mind I put together another top 10 list, this time "The Top 10 Reasons Why FriendFeed is a Better Place to Browse Flickr Photos Than Flickr Itself." - Thomas Hawk

you forgot the "super great" part Mona. hahaha! good stuff TH. - Carlos Ayala
Definitely agree with your comments - FriendFeed is a much better way to spot some of the great pictures on Flickr that get lost otherwise. - Richard Peat
I agree. I only wish it could be possible to enlarge the photos streamed from Flickr into FriendFeeed. - Nick
I agree with you Nick. If Flickr images could be imported big like SmugMug's are that would be *kick ass*. I suspect though that this is a Flickr RSS limitation though more than it is a FriendFeed sort of thing. - Thomas Hawk
My reason #11: Friendfeed has a snappy UI while Flickr is too often too slow. - Ole Begemann
I agree. I have discovered a lot of great photographs through Friendfeed, along with some excellent photographers. - Trish R
with Friendfeed , I can custom tailor the photographers that I want to view and also , I see more favourited photos on FF , that I would normally miss on Flickr . - johnpiercy
I love being able to see all of the photos that people add as favorites, it makes discovering photos much easier - William Spaetzel
I'm subscribing to my contacts photostream with RSS. I'm not sure, but I think it allows you to view more than the last 5 or 10 uploads. - Rutger Blom
"I'm on Vista right now. iTunes is slow for me too but it isn't as bad as
Songbird. The main reason I stick with iTunes is that it is the best
podcatcher, no other app downloads podcasts quite right." - William Spaetzel
"I keep on trying Songbird and every time I find that it actually is slower than iTunes. I really would like Songbird to work well for me, but it seems to like to freeze up for no particular reason, so I always end up going back to iTunes." - William Spaetzel
Whoa. Like. Specially that import site button at the top. - Roberto Bonini
Not cool: go to a room, there's no difference in the left hand nav bar. No more link to everyone, no more list of members. BAH! - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)
I think I like it. It feels like writing with my left hand, but I can get used to this. - Rochelle
There is now a "members" tab at the top of a room page. Makes it much neater in my view. - Roberto Bonini
Same reaction here, I wasn't sure if I was at the right site. - William Spaetzel
That was odd. I just hit the refresh button and the internets flipped around. - Mathew Ballard
Sidebar was nice on the right. I'll get used to it (needs to be wider though, it's cutting off room names). Otherwise, looks to be excellent changes! - flammable
I miss being able to tell the activity in the rooms from the homepage. I can hover over them to see it, but that's extra work. Yeah, Iknow, I'm lazy - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)
Change hurts. I felt disoriented there for a minute. - Robert Scoble
LOL....that was weird...I liked the sidebar better on the right - Craig Eddy
Well if Robert was disoriented then I don't feel so bad =D I know there was a blog post, and perhaps this is evidence we should all be crazy and READ the blog, but I still feel just a little blind-sided. - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)
totally disoriented for a few seconds - be nice to have some warning but hey - it is a beta - mike "glemak" dunn
I was like whoa! for a few moments myself too - Sally Church
As a side, note, I'm now laughing that just about all the ZOINKS BETA! posts actually used the word 'Whoa!'. That's funny and I don't care who ya are! - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)
The biggest disadvantage of the new layout is that I can't see in the sidebar anymore if a room has new posts :( And the sidebar is too narrow... - Ray Metzen
Not liking this as well - feel like my world flipped. We'll see. - Abby Martin
Import Site is poor wording, IMO, for adding/editing services. I was expecting something else for some reason, though I don't know what. - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)
Much happier with the submission mechanism. No more posting search queries by mistake. - Chris Baskind
I liked the sidebar better on the right, too. - Joey Gibson
me sori. i was juz fixin d internets. :P - AJ Batac ♘
I find the design of the nav bar less engaging that it was previously. Everything's smaller and less interesting. - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)
That's ridiculous. They're afraid of viruses being spread through Facebook? They need to hire a new IT team if they don't trust Facebook for that - William Spaetzel
