++++++++++++++++++++++ By the end of 2008, mobile accounted for 20–30% of broadband subscribers in the more advanced Western European markets, such as Austria and Ireland. At the same time, revenue per megabyte continues to fall, driven down by increasing competition and the introduction of flat-rate pricing

The August numbers are in. For the past 3 months I've been tracking compete.com's traffic report for FriendFeed vs Twitter. For the previous 2 months FF has had a faster growth rate than Twitter according to compete. This month though paints a much less optimistic picture for FF with FF actually going negative (barely) in unique visitor growth while Twitter turns in a healthy 17.7% growth rate. Take it with a grain of salt of course, compete is flawed, inaccurate, etc. etc. blah blah blah.

Friendfeed seems to have a fairly international user base, so hard to know whether that paints an accurate picture in terms of overall growth. Interesting that their growth in the US is slowing though.

it felt slower to me for most of August, but felt like it was picking up again after the launch of the beta. It will be interesting to see what the Sept. numbers look like.

Twitter had the BIG jump right about the time of last year's sxsw, FF is just getting started and the convo is a BIG + here.
- Dave Martin
Dave, I agree that FF is just getting started. I'm just curious as to why their growth stalled last month. It felt slower to me last month than in previous months. Hopefully the launch of the beta rejuvenates things. I think one thing to consider is that the pace of new development slowed in August. Maybe it's better to release little features weekly than a big beta every six weeks. Who knows. I used to think that FF would surpass Twitter in 6mo, in one year, the momentum felt that strong in the past.

I still don't get this comparison/competition thing between friendfeed and twitter. They are completely different kinds of services. The key to friendfeed is the aggregation. The point of twitter is status/micro-blogging. The only similarity is that friendfeed can be used for micro-blogging but nowhere nearly as simply as twitter.

i.e. I always thought that all these quantitative research tools shall be taken with grain of salt

Hopefully I'm wrong and this graph is misleading. But it feels like it's slowed to me. Where are all the greasemonkey scripts for instance? It doesn't seem like anyone's developed any for the new beta. I think we need profiles and lots of other things. I also think the UI still needs to have a dumbed down version for mainstream users. Not sure what the right answers are though.

i m not surprised, friendfeed makes too much noise

I definitely don't want friendfeed profiles. I already provide service links to plenty of sites that store my profile.

actually what I do want from Friendfeed is technically not _that_ difficult, only I have no single big chunk time in next few weeks to start it as my project... barely,it is all about creating own mirror of what I consider as valuable from Friendfeed; and some sort of "Friendfeed on Gears" i.e. semioffline sync-ability using http://gears.google.com/

Je bosse pas chez orange (mais chez SFR ;), mais si ils sont dans la même situation que nous, c’ets juste que pour l’instant ils n’ont pas fini de déployer le capacitif du réseau (Des liens trans FT a déployer dans tout les sens). En un an le traffic data à plus que doublé sur le réseau, il faut pouvoir absorber la charge. Le débit théorique de la 3G est une chose, la tuyauterie derrière en est une autre.

je pense que que c'est normal, à partir du moment ou tes responsables de ce que tu vends sur ton site, puis cela va permettre de proteger les petits créateurs qui n'ont pas les moyens de faire un procès a Ebay comme LVMH

thanks for the invite! love the video view. celebrity photo view would be awesome if you could stack the shuffled pics in a corner, then search on, shuffle some more, thus creating a collection for later reference

The interface is very easy to use and the results aggreation works well. It's now installed in my search bar and I will be using it quite a lot.

Already love it!! Found a bunch of new content easily in a topic am very familiar with. That speaks a lot for the kind of non-obvious content this approach brings up
