Hmm... Maybe I should check this FriendFeed out since it's almost usable. Oh, wait a second...
- Kevin C. Tofel
Friendfeed in Twhirl is still far from usable for me Steve - The way it keeps popping up items with new comments is annoying - pure flow is much, much better

Possibly, Steve meant that as the number of users grow, the service becomes more usable.

"FriendFeed is a parasite service built on the back of Twitter. Let’s get this straight. No Twitter, no FriendFeed. Want to kill FriendFeed, as I certainly do? Cut off its oxygen. Take a page from Facebook’s incompetent UnFriend Connect gambit and refuse to pass Twitter posts through non-compliant ex-Google engineering scams." Steve Gillmor, May 24, 2008.

Even though it is about two comments up, I'd like to reiterate the point made by Thomas Hawk: "FriendFeed is a parasite service built on the back of Twitter. Let’s get this straight. No Twitter, no FriendFeed. Want to kill FriendFeed, as I certainly do? Cut off its oxygen. Take a page from Facebook’s incompetent UnFriend Connect gambit and refuse to pass Twitter posts through non-compliant ex-Google engineering scams." Steve Gillmor, May 24, 2008.

Thomas Hawk might be wrong see FF share butttn at top of FF page..ever use it?

Richard: I only reposted for comedic effect, like those moments on the Daily Show when they cut between a politician saying something that totally contradicts something they said in the past and then do it again

I hid twitter updates for a few days. Didn't miss a whole lot.

Dan, I was quoting Steve, not expressing my own thoughts on FF. Richard. This is not something Gillmor said "months" ago, it's something that he wrote 34 days ago.
- Thomas Hawk
FF works fine for me, every day. And it's better than Twitter or Plurk. FF is an aggregator, not a parasite.

In fact I might hide it again, just because it is mostly just @ replies and links to content that is already on friendfeed. Wish there was a better way to filter, perhaps by minimum number of comments/likes, or an intelligent filter that knows when something is a duplicate.
