Batuhan, I have a hard time imagining not using FriendFeed? But you've already seen me using it less, in favor of Google+. I think the best solution is for those of us interested in making the move to do so, and/or Google+ learning from the best FriendFeed has to offer.

Which are you using atm? Are you using both? If you've moved to Google+ what made you move? If you've stayed on FF, what is keeping you on the service and not moving to G+? You can follow the same thread on Google+: https://plus.google.com/1044055...
- Kol Tregaskes
For me I'm using both but a lot more of Google+. Google+ has a variety of discussions, including tech (which I love). FF varies too but has a lot less tech. I like variety but think I've missed the tech discussions we used to have on FF so G+ is appealing to me for one reason.
- Kol Tregaskes
The community is far stronger on FF than G+ though but that is to be expected from a brand new social service vs. a service that has been going to several years. This will change over time but I already see a lot of FriendFeeders on Google+ so it's kinda a home from home atm. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
As I've pointed out here: http://ff.im/HFq1R the features and feel of Google+ are impressive but it lacks some important things like groups and search facilities which FF has implemented very well. The Googl mobile app is great but the site itself really needs a bookmarklet in the form of FriendFeed's or even Amplify's.
- Kol Tregaskes
In regards to aggregration, I won't miss it if it's not added into Google+. Gone will be the days of empty accounts with just an RSS and Twitter feed with no one at the end of it. I like responding to users imported service, such as their tweets, but can certainly live without it. Google+ seems richer in content with everything being native. There is enough posts on Google+ already, I...

- Kol Tregaskes
The bugs in FriendFeed are the most annoying thing on the service. It breaks regularly and features drop out occassionally. Search was down for months at one stage and I lost the use of my saved searches, which I relied on so heavily. G+ is not without its bugs of course but you know that they will be fixed fairly quickly. Facebook are just propping FF up atm and you fear if it breaks hard it breaks for good. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
Overall, FF has the community, Google+ has the features and future. I'm staying on both but G+ is getting more and more of my attention as each day passes. What about you?
- Kol Tregaskes
Actually, FF is still killing Google+ on features. The major thing Google+ has that FF doesn't is growth potential. https://plus.google.com/u...
- Spidra Webster
Kol, but you don't have to follow people who just have RSS feeds as accounts. Without bookmarklets G+ is really missing a key feature. Without the ability to import the RSS feeds of my blog then how could I use it?
- Todd Hoff
Blog with G+.
- Kol Tregaskes
i still feel that Stream here are much better the G+.. as such FF does not have Hangout and sparks is ridiculously stupid.. no options to import RSS/Twitter into G+ ..makes it a small playground
- Peter Dawson
And when you fall out of love with G+ where is your content? Putting all your money content in something you don't own is always a disappointment.
- Todd Hoff
Peter, like I say I won't miss imports. There is a ton of content on G+ already.
- Kol Tregaskes
Todd, very true but I don't have my own blog so not going to affect me. I appreciate it will affect others but I've trying blogging and always come up issues.
- Kol Tregaskes
I'll never close my FF account. It will be there till the day the FF closes is ever but I'm using G+ far more than FF now - though my FF usages has decreased dramatically over the last year or so. There are mainly reason, most unrelated to the service itself but G+ are sparked my interest in a social network again.
- Kol Tregaskes
i use both. not leaving FF for anything except the servers being shut down.
- Hieronymous Boob
G+ has a LONG way to go before it comes close to matching FF on features. the main thing G+ has going for it at the moment is an expanding user base and rapid dev. but then so did Buzz, and we know how that turned out, eh?
- Hieronymous Boob
I have to say I do like the ability to like comments on G+. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
ACtuallyKol, I have pvt rooms setup on FF ..which I import only industry /vertical specific Feeds.. this makes it more 'streamed' in terms of what I need and monitor.. whereas with G+ theres a lot of content which I personally need to manage.. this means more effort on my part !
- Peter Dawson
I've posted the same thread on Google+ btw: https://plus.google.com/1044055...
- Kol Tregaskes
Blogger integration into G+ and the release of the G+ API to developers will definitely shift more of my attention to G+. That and a bookmarklet, of course (I have one for Posterous as well as FriendFeed). I'm waiting for Google to add more of the features we enjoy on FF, and actively asking. There's lots of room for improvement at G+, and Google are improving it. Still, I'm sticking with FF till Facebook shut it down (and G+ may be Zuck's excuse).
- Dennis Jernberg
Peter, I did that too and used this to them share to FF publicly. But I always go back to Google Reader. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Dennis, I hope they don't shut down FF but it's always a worry.
- Kol Tregaskes
I've certainly been enjoying G+ more than FF over the last week. I don't know if it's the new shiny or the focus on native and manually shared content, but it seems more active/engaging. It needs work on search especially and a few other things, but I'm liking it over there.
- Jandy
maybe Zack should pay more attention to FF and this is truly the competetion to G+ Streams. hey if we had hangout and Circles ( in the same tech side as G+), I bet you that FF will be kicking G+ butt.. just because FF has only streams.. does not mean that its NOT Best of breed for Aggregation !

@Kol, google Reader does not allow you to gather comments (i.e threaded comments ) around a single thread :)-

I'm using both.
- Ruchira S. Datta
As I said on someone else's post, I'm using both until some of the kinks are worked out over at G+ and they add things like audio posts & better search inside G+.

@Kol, thats only for peeps that you are following..what about the regular sub that one has aggreated as an RSS ?
- Peter Dawson
Using both. I hoped that Google+ would be FriendFeed+ but right now it's just Twitter+. With no equivalent to FF's groups it's effectively broadcast only so I can see why it would appeal to the tech crowd who just want to get their message out, have a bit of a chat, and move onto the next shiny thing to promote. With the right Greasemonkey script FF could look like, act like, and completely surpass G+ in almost every respect.

I will be on FF till its dead. Google+ has a long way to catch up FF's features. G+ stream is so buggy.

As far as the Persian users are concerned, although most of people use FF for sending links and short discussions, Persian users usually use FF (right or wrong) for their actual contents - something like a mini weblog. So shutting it down would be really painful for them as they lose their contents. Secondly, since Persian users mostly use the web site for political activities from...

- Mathew A. Koeneker
@Patrick I concur that privacy is going to be a huge issue. If I am not mistaken, doesn't the Iranian Revolutionary Guard pretty much own their country's telecom infrastructure? Not to say that our own NSA isn't sniffing out much of what we communicate about.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
Mark, I'd definitely have to disagree with you on Google+ being broadcast only (sorry :-)). My feed alone proves that is not the case. Twitter is a void for me, no one replies. Google+ is very active.
- Kol Tregaskes
Agreed with Kol on the last point, G+ is no more broadcast only than FF is. The level of interaction is on par with FriendFeed in the early days.
- Jandy
@Peter/Mathew, after so many years, the users have become much smarter and the techie society is consistently helping them to avoid the revolutionary guard. For instance, many of us provide VPNs for the people inside Iran so the data gets encrypted. But one case for security concerns could be the private messages. I know Google had a disastrous security hole for gmail a few years ago...

I'm on both. I'm using FriendFeed and dabbling in Google+. I think I'll be using G+ almost solely for the Hangouts. I tried G+ out of curiosity. I think it would make a good alternative to FF if FF were to disappear. So I guess I'm using G+ as a bit of a FF back-up, adding all my FFeeps there "just in case". On FF, I like the bookmarklet; being able to pull in stuff from other services;...

Both. I imagine -suspect, really - that the day will come when FF does shut down. G+ is the first close-to-viable alternative I've seen, and, Kol, like you, I do also like the tech discussions. Hope that the team, in working on satisfying Robert Scoble's zeal for noise control, doesn't find a way to shut us non-elites out of those.

Here is what I am missing in GP: hide all (with advanced options that FF gives), subscription history, predefined and/or custom feeds (Favorites, Business, etc.), groups, and direct messages. May be some of them are already there in a different form but I don't know how to use them. Now I feel that I was taking FriendFeed's features for granted. I hope they don't shut it down.

Alex, from what I understand, Cristo went from designer to developer. Yes, it is much harder to go from developer to designer, but they are not absolutely distinct, and can point you if you'd like to numerous people who could fill both roles.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
Yes, you personally insulted me by insinuating that I know nothing about the job of being a janitor. One good insult deserves another. You didn't feel you had to prove your bona fides to Chris and I don't think I have to prove anything to you. Anyhow, back to the question at hand, I believe it would be extremely difficult to create a robot that could perform all of the duties that a janitor has to do. I think that anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't know what a janitor does.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble

Alex, I never said it wouldn't be hard. I said which would be easier.

Cristo can feel free to draw a mockup of an interface on paper, scan it, and post it up here and we'll be the judge of his design abilities, but he won't because he feels it's beneath him.

- Scoble, Alex Scoble

I suggest deep breaths on both sides or this will blow up. Cristo, Alex is mad because your original joke about him not knowing about janitors was interpreted as "you don't know what you're talking about." Alex, Cristo is upset because you're insulting his professional experience and background. We just got the two of you talking and interacting together again. Can you both take a ten count and back off?

"The vulnerability, which Maddern said isn't present in the Windows or Linux versions of the popular VoIP program, was confirmed by Skype spokeswoman Brianna Reynaud, who said a fix will be rolled out next week. Its disclosure comes the same week that researchers discovered a new crimekit that streamlines the production of Mac-based malware. It also comes as new malware surfaced for Apple's OS X that masquerades as a legitimate antivirus program."

True story: After I had been in Memphis for a couple years, and had learned what BBQ is actually supposed to be, a friend of mine from out of town paid a visit. We tried the best BBQ shops around town before going to the World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest. (http://www.memphisinmay.org/bbq)
My friend observed that none of the BBQ Shops had teams entered in the contest. I turned to her and said "Of course they don't. Memphis BBQ restaurants don't enter the contest, they judge it."

Investors Cough Up $1.6 Million To Dine With Grubwithus, The Brilliant Social Dining Service - http://techcrunch.com/2011...
Laura Norvig, Thomas Power, manielse (Mark Nielsen) and 15 other people liked this
"The idea behind Grubwithus is an awesome yet simple one. You browse for a restaurant you’d like to go to in a certain city and buy a ticket for your meal at a set price. But the key is that others do this as well, all with the intention of meeting new people over dinner. And when you’re buying your ticket, you can see who your dinner buddies will be. Yes, it’s sort of like Groupon meets Meetup. And yes, it’s brilliant. So it should be no surprise that a long list of prominent early-stage investors have decided they’d love to back Grubwithus. The service, which launched out of Y Combinator last year, has just raised a $1.6 million round. Who’s at the funding table? Andreessen Horowitz, First Round Capital, NEA, SV Angel, Ashton Kutcher, Guy Oseary, Vivi Nevo, Yuri Milner, Maynard Webb, Matt Cutts, Elad Gil, Paul Buchheit, Alexis Ohanian, Start Fund, and Y Combinator."

So will you all be put at the same table or just eat at the same restaurant at the same time? How do you know who you will be seated next to so that you might have something in common? You can really only talk to about 5 other people depending on the table size and layout so there is a maximum benefit there.

If you don't like paying taxes for driving a car, stop driving a car. It's that simple. Why people feel that it's their right to drive, I have no idea, but it's not. You drive because the state and federal governments allow it.

Ok, well the answer is a gas tax increase, where it's mostly usage based. Mileage based, is stupid. Because it requires hiring people, to check it, as well as fraud departments. It's a pain in the ass. This is the kind of thing that leads to government inefficiency.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
Mileage based is the only way to get people to pay for how much they use.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Alex, um, what? Gas is expended on traveling (miles). Taxing it is a proxy for mileage. You're arguement makes no sense. Yes, it's not perfect, but it's pretty damn good and way more efficient than what you're recommending.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
Jimminy, if you drive a car that weighs 3000 pounds and gets 40 mpg, you are doing the same amount of damage to the road as a car that weights 3000 pounds and gets 20mpg but you are paying half of the usage tax based on gas.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Gas tax is not a good way to tax usage.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Alex, here's the thing, if you're want to go liberal and fight for the environment, why shouldn't the person expelling all that extra carbon emissions into the air, not be taxed more. A gas tax is both on emissions and usage, and you don't have to introduce a new system into the mix. If there is an shortfall, raise the gas tax 2-3 percent. On the whole it is very fair.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
They should be taxed more, but you need to get the proper amount of tax from the efficient car as well as it is doing the same amount of damage. And CW, I can't fix the government, but I can mock people who complain about taxes that they can avoid if they choose.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Also, I have to go for now, one parting note. It's a lot easier to tax several hundred thousand, than it is to tax several hundred million.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
Ok.
- Derrick
I'm back. Alex, the statement, "I can mock people who complain about taxes that they can avoid if they choose," is just as valid for gas. If they don't want to pay so much tax let them upgrade to a car that gets better mileage. Also, you're real argument seems to be over accuracy vs efficiency, which is a common optimization problem, there is going to be a point that balances the two. Gas is way closer, than trying to track absolute usage for everyone.
