Not sure if I'm cool with "twuser". Lends itself far too easily to "twluser" :P - Brad McCrorey
That's crazy, Twitter has not let me follow new people for a while now but never shows this error (only something strange happened, please refresh the page and try again). Interesting to know what exactly the limit is as mine is definitely a strange number. - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl
why would you ever want to follow that many people? -just curious - Jason Fleming
@Jason: That's a usual question :) I added tons of people first on Twitter to get a grip of what to do and continued when new people followed me that I found interesting. Now I really want to stop following some to make place for new people and can't as no application that shows mutual followers seems to be unable to cope with API limitations - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl
This is definitely a temporary limit that gets triggered when you follow a lot of people in a short amount of time. There are more details this and other new limits on Get Satisfaction:http://getsatisfaction.com/twi... - Mike Doeff
@Mike: This definitely is not my case, I only follow 3 or 4 new people per day now so I don't think it's a lot in a short time. So it is probably about the actual countable (not time-based) limit we are looking at. - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl
An amazing use of sign language with a hi dramatic effect for little money. Got me thinking about those who have to use sign language on a daily basis. How much "clean up" happens? How much word censorship do these people have to put up with? - Steve Allen
I've been seeing a bit of a delay with activity showing up on here... - Jason Peck
It seems very random. Some people see all my tweets, others seeing nothing. Nothing currently turns up in "archive". A really bad week for Twitter. They have some cash & the suport of Bezo's, so i'm sure they can fix this, even if that means shutting down a few days & re-emerging with a new infrastructure. - Steve Allen via Alert Thingy
I look at my 'archive' tab and don't see many tweets --inconsistent. - Jeremiah Owyang
A friend in Portland reports "no issues" today. Looks like Twitter randomly selects users to torture. FriendFeed is working, but my friends still want to chat on Twitter. I've started to use GTalk. What's the world coming too :) - Steve Allen
Sad that we're commenting here instead of on Twitter. Sad for Twitter, not for Friendfeed of course. :-) - Dave Delaney
Yep, I like Twitter, but I have to admit that I kinda like FriendFeed. Even if Twitter used to work better, conversations are not it's strength, and I find FriendFeed really more efficient in that regard. - fbrunel
I joined FF because of this article, but it's difficult to convince more friends to move over to friendfeed when I've already got them on Pownce and Twitter. - Michael Narciso via twhirl
I love the photo on that post. Suddenly the 405 doesn't seem so bad. - Mark Krynsky
interesting... I haven't particularly noticed that. Maybe I'm not swimming deep enough in "conversation" - Stephanie Booth via twhirl
oh, and I'm commenting here because this is where I happened to see the post go by ;-) - Stephanie Booth via twhirl
Were there ever really conversations on twitter? I thought it was more of a noisy room where people shouted at each other in hopes of being heard. - Andrew Garrett
I'm still trying to figure out how you converse in a crowded and noisy bus. Once I know that, I'll have well-honed twitter skills, for sure. - Bernie Goldbach
Well, I just got the Friend Feed version of the Fail Whale, so be careful what you wish for. - Shemp DeYoung
I get the feeling that we are reaching a tipping point for Twitter - Jamie
My first day really trying to ignore twitter. FriendFeed just doesn't feel the same but if it enables 2 way communication i'm in - Steve Allen
i still like Twitter. but while i wait for it to get its act together, i'm cheating on it right now by using FriendFeed. call it an open relationship with no strings attached. heh. - Christine Lu
But the fact is, we've already done so much on Twitter, and leaving it would be throwing all of it away and any hopes of it making a comeback. But what I see here is still a Twitter message which proves that most of our elders on FriendFeed are still using it. I'd like to see any of you cease to use it anymore, and maybe it will have a greater affect on others to do the same. - Josh Jenkins
I just have a lot more followers on Twitter :) I don't think everyone is ready to switch to FriendFeed just yet. FriendFeed doesn't have a lot of features like SMS, and it really doesn't cater that well to regular messages - Chacha via twhirl
I prefer reading things on friendfeed but I still tend to only post to twitter. Strange isn't it? - Jason Mitchell via Alert Thingy
I don't think that FriendFeed has that great of a Messaging System. Just really a Sharing System - Chacha via twhirl
Going along with that comment, I can't really find another service besides Twitter that updates as frequently on FriendFeed - Chacha via twhirl
That's just damn fine writing. You had me at "frail architecture." [Also, if Twitter was mentioned on The Daily Show, then it has finally jumped the snark.] - Donna Mugavero
I've taken the week off from Twitter.... the commenting system on FF is amazing. Twitter needs to step it up. - Jason Calacanis
I have to agree with @chacha102, I don't think everyone is ready to fully switch FriendFeed - Justin Yost
Twitter folks have gotta be shitting bricks right now - Jarin Udom
I think twitter will end up being a place for status updates as it was initially intended. - Tsega D
Quick Unsolicited PR/Customer Service Tip - When there are signs of a mass migration away from your service, it's probably not a good time to schedule a mid-day three hour maintenance window. Just grin and bear it until the next after hours scheduled maintenance period. - Ken Sheppardson
Sprague, scroll back a few more pages. It's rearing its ugly head again. - Cyndy
Would I be so bold as to suggest that conversations YOU are involved in are moving to FF. This is not one social network. There are thousands upon thousands of cliques within the network that are quite happy with twitter being a slow sometimes unreliable SMS/IM replacement as there are active communities on Pownce, Jaiku and Jiwai.de. - Dedric
Cool. I've got this great idea. It's.....wait for it...TV on the internet. We slam a site together in PHP & get some VC!!! What do you think? I've ordered my Ferrari already :) - Steve Allen
“What the hell is wrong with me? From 6:30am-7am on a Saturday morning, I'm looking at FriendFeed. Mind you, I am at home alone... No rugrats to wake me up. I'm going back to sleep - and might even sleep late!”
I'm trying to use it - and trying to be liked. - Wm Scott Rees
Feedalizr helped me to not use it to pose (I think). Made the key social features, like comment and like, much more relevant and those in turn have brought me more diverse and interesting content and contacts. - Michael
I'm a poser turning into a convert. Crack shop twitter has cut & mixed their dope to the point where it barely works. I really hope that twitter recovers as otherwise ppl will get used to a more stable experience on FriendFeed. But if everyone jumps to FF, we might see this service becoming the new twitter of instability. - Steve Allen
I'm real on Friendfeed and twitter, but I pose on Pownce, Jaiku and Facebook to some extent. - Andy Roberts
Yeah some of these social networking sites you just don't get and they tend to be more infrequently visited/used - David W
I'm trying to really use it because I like it. There are so many similar things out there so it tends to be overwhelming if you don't focus... - Rebkin
I started out a poser. I started out not liking it at all. I thought there was too much noise. But now that I use tabs when I use it on the Web -- it becomes a start page and I end up focusing my attention there. Also, since recently downloading feedalizr it's become a perfect communications tool. - Lynne d Johnson
I like all of your comments here. You are all using FriendFeed right! :) Even though I wrote the article, I am 'liking' this because of the comments. - J. Phil

WordPress.com is not WordPress (it is but its controlled). Host your own, get the full features of WordPress - Aaron Brazell
Looking into the options now. http://tinyurl.com/5ubvkb might be an option. Otherwise i'll start with Wordpress.com, pay for upgrades & then export to a hosted one later if need be. - Steve Allen
The Conclusion from the article. I wanted to find out what was on offer in terms of free blog hosting. A year ago, Blogger was looking stale, and Wordpress.com didn't have nearly as many themes or features as it does now. On this occasion I chose Blogger, - Steve Allen
