WriteRoom is coming to the web and it will sync with iPhones http://www.writeroom.ws/

What are the examples where you think WriteRoom can provide value? - Tejas Patel

I'm a power-user of WriteRoom for mac, but I've never bought the iphone app. Simply, the iphone is already monotasking, I can't find any use for WriteRoom there. - Zio Bonino

@tejas on the iPhone or desktop? I love its simplicity on both. - Steve Rubel from email

Robert Scoble

Everyone is giving me heck in London about how I'm a FriendFeed cheerleader. Truth is, I don't understand FriendFeed either. Talk to me:

I don't understand it either - Doubledown_inSL

If you don't understand FriendFeed then I must be really lost - Susan Beebe

Of course these are the same people who told me three years ago "Twitter is lame" so not sure I should listen to them. - Robert Scoble

Robert- what don't you understand? - Brett Kelly

Gimme an F! Gimme an R!.... - Jeremy Brooks

friendfeed will make sense a year from now - Doubledown_inSL

Robert - listen to your gut. :) - Matt Ruiz

Robert wants to know how to gain 100,000 followers in 3 minutes - Doubledown_inSL

Well that is a bit of a problem, it has a steep learning curve! - TobiasVerhoog.com

Brett: I don't understand how FriendFeed will beat Facebook. ;-) - Robert Scoble

friendfeed's learning curve looks like heaving boobies - Doubledown_inSL

LOL, nice. Easy to beat Facebook. Friendfeed is way safer, and can connect to other services. - Zachary TG

Brett: and I don't understand why being a cheerleader for something is bad, especially when I'm right. - Robert Scoble

And when you shake the iPhone app, it updates! (wait... no... that's not FriendFeed....) - Linda Mills

FriendFeed is like the new geocities - Doubledown_inSL

Does Friendfeed have to beat Facebook? - Kim Landwehr

Anyway, this is what happens when I get drunk with traveling geeks and Paul Carr. :-) - Robert Scoble

Sounds like everyone in London is going to be viewing this conversation soon. So, don't wonder, just look. - Martha

If the web tool is adding value to what you are doing, nothing wrong in being a cheerleader for it - Tejas Patel

London is asleep right now - Doubledown_inSL

Martha: I don't understand how to make Paul Carr understand. :-) - Robert Scoble

Doubledown: London is just getting started right now. - Robert Scoble

Robert, if you were a FriendFeed thought leader we would all cheer. - Dutch Driver

Let's all cheer for Friendfeed. Gooooo Friendfeed! - Asgeir

I don't understand it either, but I still love it. - Oracio

Twitter is lame. FF rocks. - CW™

I really WANT to like friendfeed more, just seems good in theory though - Doubledown_inSL

Oracio: I'd say something sexist right now, but even though I've had too many glasses of wine I won't. - Robert Scoble

Surely cheerleaders don't really understand what they're drawing people's attention to anyway ;-) - Katie Dob from iPod

The only reason I really have a FriendFeed account is to talk to you. Facebook has commoditized just about all the other 'niche social services' into a familiar interface for the masses. So as far as 'friend feeding' is concerned, there's really only one site shaping up to matter the most — and that's Facebook. For that reason, I don't see FriendFeed reaching past the early adopter crowd anytime soon. - Colin Anawaty

I've been trying to figure it out. As a result liking it more. That's normal. - Bob Morse

Robert lets go home , dont drink so much there :-))) - Johni Fisher

Robert: Don't let me stop you. Ha. - Oracio

Look what happened to jaiku, same will happen to Facebook. They will try to become something they will never be or beat, Twitter. - Zachary TG

You could be called worse things than cheerleader! - Rene Wirtz

Hey Robert - need any London restaurant recommendations? - Patrick Jordan

Colin: based on the reactions I've had in London I think the mainstream is coming within six months. This is how people used to treat me when I cheerleaded Twitter. - Robert Scoble

I just love logging on seeing interesting things role before my eyes :) - Asgeir

Patrick: no, we were eating dinner at the top of the BT Tower tonight and it was awesome. Even if I had to take some ribbing about my love of FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble

its a feel good kinda place.... - Bob DeMarco

Friendfeed wont be the shiznit until I can invite all of you into my vampire mob guild - Doubledown_inSL

Patrick: I'll post photos later, gotta go back to the bar cause Rocky is calling me. :-) - Robert Scoble

Bob DeMarco: That could be Friendfeed's slogan. lol - Zachary TG

Robert: perhaps you're right. I like some of FriendFeeds features and they are uniquely different, but is it enough? I'm not convinced... yet. - Colin Anawaty

Its a social data sharing/discovery space to me. - Darren Stuart

London feels good, especially after some wine. :-) - Robert Scoble

Hi everybody, FF newbie doing his first "chat" comment here... cheering since a couple of weeks, though - Fritz Feger

FriendFeed smells like new car - Doubledown_inSL

FriendFeed is a community. 'Nuff said. - Jorge Escobar

Doubledown_inSL: How does it? - Zachary TG

Zachary: thank you, I just passed 43,000 today. Wild. Where did all these nobodies come from? Jorge: shhhh, quiet, you don't want the celebrities to hear you, do you? - Robert Scoble

No idea, Oprah mush have said something. LOL. - Zachary TG

poor me...still in the blue nowhere of freindfeed - Bob DeMarco

HAHA! You do read me, Mr. Scoble ;) - Jorge Escobar

I still don't figure how to find unread comments in between all that masses of text... any hints? - Fritz Feger

Sorry, Operah must have said something - Zachary TG

Feger..just read every fifth one - Bob DeMarco

Love to know how many people on this thread aren't techies. Bet it's close to one. That's counting me. - Jeff Strank

Bob DeMarco: Like that is going to work - Zachary TG

Oprah. Opera. Oprah. Opera. ... I'm confused - Doubledown_inSL

I'm a techie - Zachary TG

hahhaa - Bob DeMarco

Bob, that's what I do, but it's usually the important comments I'm missing by this - Fritz Feger

Just put this convo in its own tab. You do use a tab-enabled browser, right? - Jorge Escobar

Doubledown_inSL: I mean that when Operah said something about Twitter, everyone got a Twitter account - Zachary TG

i'm a non techie...which explains why i am in the blue nowhere of friend feed - Bob DeMarco

Techie too... - Fritz Feger

Who's Operah? - Jorge Escobar

People didn't just join for Oprah, they also joined for her KFC coupon too! - Doubledown_inSL

oprah's big sister - Bob DeMarco

oprah winfrey, sorry, multi-tasking - Zachary TG

Wine... You have not seen the real London before you been to a few bars drinking Stout :)) - Asgeir

this is kinda like Plato in 1974 - Bob DeMarco

Asgeir: we've had stout. We've had whiskey. We've had wine. What else is on the menu? - Robert Scoble

I am using the opera web browser and talking about oprah winfrey. LOL - Zachary TG

No Ale, Robert? - Jorge Escobar

scoble...a few more and you will understand FriendFeed - Bob DeMarco

It connects people who like to talk. LOL. - Zachary TG

why must FriendFeed "beat" Facebook? - Brett Kelly

@Natalia, you already can see him in a surfer suit, no need to imagine - Jorge Escobar

Because it is easy - Zachary TG

Jorge: I have had ale too! And some cider. I'll post photos later and you'll see why this all matters. - Robert Scoble

Zachary...that explains it...nobody likes to listen - Bob DeMarco

That sounds more like it. Welcome to London. - Asgeir

Brett: so that Paul Carr will stop giving me heck about being a FriendFeed cheerleader. - Robert Scoble

Friendfed is better then Facebook, and will always be - Zachary TG

yeah..i am in the blue nowhere over there also - Bob DeMarco

Was nice to meet you and Rocky last night Robert. Albeit only for a minute as you were about to leave the bar :) - Simon Wicks

What matters is that I don't have access to your secret room, Robert. I hate it. :) - Jorge Escobar

I want access, he won't let me. LOL - Zachary TG

Bob: hopefully this isn't the end. But if it was the end I wouldn't be posting. My wife would be and it wouldn't be happy. - Robert Scoble

Robert - have Paul ask a question on the site through you and compare it to what he might see if he poses the same question through you on Twitter and Facebook. That might convince him. - Martha

Jorge: have I met you face-to-face? Only people I've met face-to-face get access to @secretscoble. - Robert Scoble

Martha: that's an unfair fight. - Robert Scoble

I know the rules, Robert. Doesn't mean I don't hate it. - Jorge Escobar

scoble...go over to my friendfeed...meet my fact and send me the key - Bob DeMarco

opps face - Bob DeMarco

Robert Scoble: Yes you have. I saw your profile pic, and you follow me on FriendFeed so you have seen my profile pic too. LOL. - Zachary TG

You didn't explain that the fight needed to be fair - just effective. - Martha

I am also a Friendfeed cheerleader :). It simply rocks. Cool features, super stable. It's the best - alfred westerveld

Jorge: you just gotta meet me and buy me a beer. :-) - Robert Scoble

lol - Zachary TG

Zachary...do you think if i get a cool image like Robert I could pop out of the blue nowhere? - Bob DeMarco

I think Robert is a goner. He must be snoring, his face in the counter. - Jorge Escobar

Not really. I wouldn't describe his avatar as cool. - Zachary TG

Bob: you don't want to see me angry. You either Jorge. :-) - Robert Scoble

Zachary: in London I'm carrying an iPhone and a Nokia N79. I also have a Palm Pre but it doesn't work here cause Sprint didn't turn on the International plan. - Robert Scoble

This has to bee the fastest amount of comments on any post on Friendfeed - Asgeir

Cool. Too bad I don't have a Palm Pre yet, they aren't in Canada yet. Stupid Bell. - Zachary TG

Jorge: have a beer and bond. Heheh. - Robert Scoble

AKA Best City in the World - Mark

Zachary: come on! Would I really be talking about London, Canada? - Robert Scoble

Aight. I'm right here in Union Square. Have a great time and hopefully we'll meet P2P. - Jorge Escobar

Is that why he is Drunk, because he is in wine countru - Zachary TG

test - Bob DeMarco

Zachary: no wine country around here. Just a great city. - Robert Scoble

London is great at night, but try working there thru the week. AWFUL - Mark

Robery Scoble: Sorry, I live in CANADA. WHAT IS WRONG WITH LONDON, CANADA? - Zachary TG

Be back later, gotta upload photos. - Robert Scoble

The man who tires of London, tires of Life. - Ian May

what the heck..friendfeed through me out - Bob DeMarco

LOL, haha - Zachary TG

Bye all, follow me on Twitter, I'm @ZacharyTG, and go to my tech site, http://whittv.wordpress.com - Zachary TG

Now that was tasteless - Jorge Escobar

I think someone needs to photoshop your icon and change the hulk hands to some green cheerleading pompoms - Tamara

Zach: Plenty wrong with London, Ontario Canada. Its exactly too far from Toronto, Niagara, Windsor and anywhere else you would want to go to do something on a Friday night and get home at a decent hour :) - Luke Kilpatrick

How did this conversation go from FF to alcohol consumption to where the best city in the world is? Ahhh, its because of number 2! Have fun all! :-) - Brandi Madrid

I think this is true - Bruce.d.Stewart

Ian May I love that: he man who tires of London, tires of Life. Very true - Asgeir

It was Samule Johnson who said "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life" in 1777 - Ian May

Robert, I'm not sure the cheerleader outfit would suit you... :-) Cheers in the UK. - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge

Ken: I can cheer "rah, rah, rah" along with the best of them. :-) - Robert Scoble

You mean that Oprah isn't a web browser named after a web browser? ;) /me ducks - Tyson Key

Scobleizer in Lycra.. .I don't think so :) - Rhys Amos

Mind you, Samuel Johnson seemed to be a man of much higher intellect, than Boris, who is a bumbling, bungling what-ho public schoolboy twat type. - Ian May

I think the little white socks are hot, Robert. - Oldengrey (Jay)

Tyson, LOL! - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge

Pompoms? ;-) - iconic88

Damn I wish I had some pompoms! *giggle* Give me an "F" "F" it again! What's "F F" stand for? FriendFeed! Robert! Those gloves in your avatar should be able to shake things up enough! - Arleen Boyd

FF is cool! - Randy Allen Bishop

It's not a food bank? - John D Reasor

FF has way less spam, and supports actual conversations, choir - Ian Orekondy

+1 Ian. The signal-to-noise ratio is much easier to handle on FF than on other sites. (Yes, @Twitter, we're talking about _you_. Again.) - Bill Sodeman

Bill, yes, for sure! - Myrna

Robert, @secretscoble? Why not just DM. Hey are you going to sleep tonight? - Myrna

Everyday, I discover the power and flexibility of Friendfeed. - ashish

Myrna: yes I'm going to sleep now. Enough craziness for one evening. - Robert Scoble

I wouldn't say you were a cheerleader, more a bell ringer for the service - Joe Dawson

Growing up on IRC and AIM, somehow Twitter seemed natural and familiar, while Friendfeed has taken me outside of my comfort zone. Which is exciting! - Mike Chelen

It's kinda weird. So what is Friendfeed about? It seems to me that everyone just subcribes and never does anything else. - Chip

Robert, you're *always* a cheerleader for something. When I first started reading you, it was TabletPC (happy days!). And there's nothing wrong with that - you're a natural enthusiast. The only time it ever gets to be a problem is when you forget that whatever you're being enthusiastic about isn't the right way for everyone. - Ian Betteridge

You are doing with FriendFeed what you do with anything you love, talk about it all the time, get people engaged, then stand back and let them figure out how to use it for themselves. Whats to understand? ^_^ - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

Great. Now I've got a mental image of Scoble in a short skirt and pedal pushers, carrying pom-pons. (You don't really have the legs for this look, by the way.) - John Craft

John, that's an image I really didn't want at lunch time :) - Ian Betteridge

Oh, those whingeing Poms in ol' Mother England...ignore them and keep on cheerleading. - George Hall (Australia)

How do I block all of John Craft's thoughts from making visuals in my head? :-) - James Schipper
