FriendFeed should be faster again. We were had some network issues which caused a lot of slowness this past week, but I think it's fixed now. Let me know if you are still encountering any extreme slowness.

FriendFeed is dying for me. In fact. it's just about gone. I use it as a control room and discussion space for my Twitter feed, and a searchable archive. Discussion threads are down about 80 percent. "Likes" are off about 90 percent. There's no real time feed in from Twitter any more. Sad.
- Jay Rosen
Agreed, Jay. My personal life is in a bit of an upheaval right now, which hasn't helped, but the FB acquisition took the wind out of the sails for me. It feels like there's no future, or worse, a future wired up to the "friending" criteria of my Facebook account. I use the services COMPLETELY differently, however. Inbound updates continue, since they're automatic, but this is the first comment I've posted in weeks. Sad, indeed.

I like FriendFeed, but I happen to find myself using Twitter and IRC more as of late. I guess I've probably just burnt myself and others out, given that I don't seem to have much in the way of compelling content and commentary these days, and that I just don't feel as motivated as I'd like to. :(

Is there currently an issue with posting from FF to update Facebook -or is Facebook broken after the re-design ? i dont get anything posted to FB anymore which worked fine before yd
- Del_
Hi Paul, I know it has been a while since this post. But over the last 48 hours my Twitter updates have quit showing up in FF. I tried manually refreshing. Then I removed the account so I could just add it back in. When trying to do that I get the following message: "We could not find the given account" I haven't changed anything. Any thoughts on why this is happening? I haven't had any trouble until now. Thanks.

Rational, Twitter usage is flattening, people are finally figuring out that Twitter sucks for having a conversation. People though Friendfeed was hard to use, try having to install several software 'crutches' to be able to use Twitter productively without even half the functionality as Freindfeed.

I'm finding that FriendFeed is fiendishly sticky. On Twitter lists do help, they make twitter better and all but but but-but I think a lot of users are getting more sophisticated in their web usage faster than Twitter can evolve their tech.

FriendFeed will now automatically post all your updates from status update services to Facebook if the FF app's installed:
Stanislas Jourdan, esragunel, jswi_jim and 40 other people liked this
Who said the FriendFeed team wasn't working on new updates to FriendFeed?
- Jesse Stay
Hey Benjamin, do these go out as actual status updates on Facebook, or do they just get added to the stream (via stream.publish)? I think that makes a big difference on whether I install this or not (I removed Twitter awhile back because it was overwhelming my friends). Another option, which I know isn't available via the API yet, would be to set a preference on which friends or friend lists see the status updates. Then it wouldn't matter.
- Jesse Stay
stream.publish is used for all the API calls. Status updates (FriendFeed entries not made via the bookmarklet, Twitter entries, Google Talk, etc.) become status updates on Facebook. Things that aren't status updates (Google Reader shares, the bookmarklet, etc.) also use stream.publish but without the "message" parameter, just a link attachment (and thus aren't status updates on Facebook). Anything with images will have media attached as well
- Benjamin Golub
For make benefit glorious facebookistan.
- EricaJoy
Thanks Benjamin - that makes sense
- Jesse Stay
Benjamin, any plans to enable the bookmarklet to update the Facebook status?
- Louis Gray
Louis: since the bookmarklet implies you are sharing a link, no. It still will be published to Facebook, just not as a status update :)
- Benjamin Golub
Rats. :)
- Louis Gray
Sorry :). The "message" part of a status update is supposed to be the user's words. Most of the time when you are using the bookmarklet it's just the page's title. A work around is to just visit friendfeed.com and copy/paste the URL along with whatever you want as your status. That will become a Facebook status update.
- Benjamin Golub
I wish FriendFeed had a backwards compatible way for me to upload photos and share them. Their photo uploader thingy won't work through a proxy, so I can't share photos here. :(
- Otto
playing around with this now.
- (jeff)isageek
Something I am confused about is exactly which services will and will not be status updates. There are some that I would prefer not to become facebook status updates and some I am cool with. I am not cool with my twitter @replies becoming status updates, nor am I cool with things like Disqus or Backtype becoming one. Do you plan on adding some sort of preferences for users to be able to fine tune this?
- April Russo (app103)
agree with april would love to see some way that my @reply messages on twitter do not become my status messages on facebook
- (jeff)isageek
April: basically things that don't have a link (unless the link is *in* the message) are status updates. For example if you typed "check this out" and put a link in the box and hit post that is a status update. But if you shared using Google Reader or have a feed setup to pull in your blog posts those are not status updates.
- Benjamin Golub
OK, got it. Still would like to see some preferences similar to what is currently available for posting updates to twitter, to fine tune this and filter out @replies. I am likely to make all my friends and family on facebook quite angry if they start seeing all the fragmented conversations from twitter.
- April Russo (app103)
Sorry for Cross-Post but Ben seems active in answering here. So, currently today I have FriendFeed posts in a Tab and a Box in FB but not update my status info or post on my wall. Do I understand correct that I will no longer be able to sync in this way? That's truly a shame if that is the case, I do not want to flood my friends in FB with the stuff I post elsewhere, it's not fair to them.

During the Great Depression however the whaling base was abandoned due the drop in oil demand and oil prices, increased oil drilling, new advancements in processing factories and other factors. Since it wasn't cost effective to bring supplies back to the mainland, most of the hardware, the boilers, and even the wooden dinghies were left behind." Click through to see the rest!

Ahhhh.so it's for people with crappy input devices ;-). One day will people have forgotten how to type. It's a good idea. We'll see when they make it available to all platforms.
- Richard A.
If a device hasn't been updated to 1.6 already I don't think it's likely it ever will be. Everyone has their hands full with 2.0.1.
- Hayes Haugen
Ergh, maybe I'll just root the phone then. =P

New on Google: real-time results from Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook, MySpace, Jaiku, Identi.ca, and more - http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009...

"The new features will be rolling out in the next few days and will be available globally in English. You can try them out today by visiting http://www.google.com/trends and clicking on a 'hot topic,' which in most cases will bring you to a search results page with the new real-time feature."
- Tom Stocky
"Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our new partners that we're announcing today: Facebook, MySpace, FriendFeed, Jaiku and Identi.ca — along with Twitter, which we announced a few weeks ago."
- Paul Buchheit
The realtime part seems a little canned though. When I hit reload, the same results slowly scroll in every time: http://www.google.com/search...
- Paul Buchheit
Yep. They shouldn't put the "already existing" results in motion. Fortunately, Friendfeed doesn't move down each updates one by one every time you refresh a page :)
- Jérôme Flipo
The number one Hot Topic is "google real time search."

OK, Friendfeed is seriously dying. Great content still coming but very few discussions.... Who's using Facebook à la Friendfeed?

Yes Jerome, I agree and lots of people are telling the same in the last months. But I still prefer the GREAT contents which I cant find anywhere else.
- Luca Gianneramo
Sure, but what if Friendfeeders were (silently) moving to Facebook to share their content? I would subscribe to my favorite FF friends there and actually start using my account.
- Jérôme Flipo
I think I could use Twitter to distribute links but right now, I just can't follow or participate in discussion there.
- Jérôme Flipo
In fact I cant use Twitter to distribute link: there's no way to really create a discussion and share opinions. That's why FF is better to me. Regarding FB: I cant imagine the average FF user moving to FB to share stuff. With who? Come on... :P
- Luca Gianneramo
The point to me is that here (at least regarding the Italian users in general) discussions' level is decreasing: more jokes, less serious stuff. But it's still a clever, intelligent way to get fun.
- Luca Gianneramo
Luck Italians http://friendfeed.com/bret...! There's very little activity among French users, now. And people I found extremely interesting have somewhat abandoned the ship, even though they drop a comment every now and then :(
- Jérôme Flipo
And my internship let me very little time for sharing content and participate in discussions. I'm sure the best days of FF are far behind now, whatever the Facebook teams is preparing.
- Jérôme Flipo
Thanks for the chart, very interesting (I knew in Turkey FF is widespread). Anyway, even here a few of users (the so-called "stars") left this networ in the last months.
- Luca Gianneramo
My stars are more tech/science/media innovators than entertainers, and they do have retired :( Unfortunately, we didn't migrate to one service, and we're scattered between Reader, Twitter and Facebook, and none of these places can host conversation.
- Jérôme Flipo
Here they are above all bloggers (which moved to the social networks in the last years).
- Luca Gianneramo
For tech stuff, Reddit gives me a daily shot of great content and comments, but it isn't as social as FF, and very geeky.
- Jérôme Flipo
what do you mean by "a la friendfeed"? I have an idea about where you're leading to, just need confirmation
- lelapin
BTW, have you seen some interesting threads in Wave? Oh, and are you there??
- Jérôme Flipo
Me, Jerome? Yes, I'm in there, but I use Wave for my job (it's GREAT for it), not as a social network. To me it's not and it wont be a SN.
- Luca Gianneramo
lelapin until now I've only used Facebook to share personal stuff to real-life friends. 95% of my home stream is made of friends' photos and status updates. Pushing public and serious content may be perceived as spamming by my friends, right now :)
- Jérôme Flipo
I agree with Jerome regarding the "spam issue" on FB. Moreover to me that's not the target for serious discussions. It's sad, but I talk about cultural level...
- Luca Gianneramo
There's definitly a lack of a tool, be that on Facebook or Friendfeed for that matter, that would allow one to adjust the 'volume' one would accept to get from one's friends. This said 'spam' might be too strong a word for something coming from one's friends, don't think? It is like unsollicited e-mail, is it?
- lelapin
Oh cool, Luca! But I hope you'll manage to use it for work and leisure, if it takes off.
- Jérôme Flipo
Absolutely, lelapin. But most of my friends don't differentiate spam from bacn :)
- Jérôme Flipo
What do you use Facebook for?
- Jérôme Flipo
I use it basically to share articles like I do on FF or Twitter. Now I don't expect much comments from there and I try not to engage in conversations on FB knowing nothing can be synched and agregated outside FB which is THE problem I have with FB. Other than that, I have several pages there since it is admitedly the most popular platform these days.
- lelapin
Meh. No one answered my question: "who's using Facebook à la Friendfeed?"
- Jérôme Flipo
Read a couple of comments above please, I asked you what you meant by "a la friendfeed"
- lelapin
From my experience, à la Friendfeed = "pushing public and serious content" while the Facebook style consists in "sharing personal stuff to real-life friends".
- Jérôme Flipo
in that regard I use Facebook a la Friendfeed. Twitter is actually the platform I favour for, like you worded it, pushing serious content by mostly retweeting. Whenever I come across something, be that originally from a tweet or other sources, I generally Tumblr it, Stumble upon it, Digg it, [insert all kind of SN] it and, because I wired Facebook and Friendfeed so as to allow...

- lelapin
Jérôme : I try more and more to use facebook like you describe that. Many reasons push me to do so : I have more and more non-IRL friends there (even my next employer...), and I also see more and more senior people there who are more likely to use fb in a serious way.
- Stanislas Jourdan
For the moment it is still (too) quiet on my wall, but sometimes there are some good discussions still. I believe that more and more people will engage discussions there, but the shift will be very slow.
- Stanislas Jourdan
However, people like you who want to have great discussion on your favorite topics, i'm afraid will be disappointed for a long time... Wave might be a better place for that IMO.
- Stanislas Jourdan
Indeed. I just need a way to push Facebook updates only to some people (and better policies, and better interface, and better content aggregation functions, and....). I think "group updates" is already available to US-based users (meanwhile, we have "groups" where you can set up a visibility level to your content).
