It's very nice. Kinda reminds me of TweetDeck in the presentation. Now they just need to expand to some more of the social services. - R. Alexander Spoerer

I know its alpha and all that but it seems wildly over-hyped to me - Trevor Cook

Remember the scene in "Big" where Tom Hanks keeps saying "I don't get it" to the toy presentation? Well, "I don't get it". - Chris Stevenson

You can *tell* (ask?) it to refresh every X minute but it, uh, doesn't. Pondering. - techPR

Great Tom Hanks reference in "Big". - Kevin Whalen

I am still yet to check out PeopleBrowsr - Joe Dawson

I like the idea but found that the UI still needs some polishing. - Davide D'Incau

Still needs work. I see the value in it, but it is slow...and odd to add panes. - Kreg Steppe

Geez, and I thought FF was overwhelming when I first signed in... - ronin

The really need to work on some of the usability / features around the non-twitter services. - Chip Childers

I just tried it out. At first glance I don't see any value here. Then again I don't really use Twitter very much. I couldn't find any interesting FF integration and got nothing from the Flickr integration. Maybe I'm just not using it right though. - Thomas Hawk

They need to pare down the number of features - much of what is there outside of twitter offers little to no clear value. That said, the twitter stuff has potential. - Andy Roth

+1 Thomas Hawk - wasn't impressed - William Harryman

Their UI is action packed and they have some great ideas implemented for grouping and messaging. I could see it being useful even if if you're not a power user. - Thropic

This looks fantastic! Thanks for the heads-up! - Flora from twhirl

Had a try with it this morning and it reckoned my name on FriendFeed and Flickr was Mohamed. Very strange... - Martin Bryant

Lovin' it so far - Charlie Anzman

I love the search feature, grouping, bulk messaging and the richness of user profiles. Definitely a fun app to hang out and explore in. - Maria Sipka

I loved it the minute I saw it... impressive concept, design and functionality. Needs on-screen UIX helps so users can easily navigate - too complex. I am very app savvy and had a hard time getting my way around ALL the features... I think I've got about 70% covered. The panes are a "pain" to use - Susan Beebe

Chokes on my primary browser. Not a fan of Flash. Seeing what other networks other people are on is interesting, although if they're on FF, then you can see that already. - Victor Ganata

great for alpha release...performance a little slow, but I like the concept - Tom Mack

I do like it, but the group function did not function as I expected. I tried sending to a group, but it just created a bunch of twitter messages with @ signs and just a part of my message. Will have to play a bit more. - Kenley Neufeld

Great interview, Robert. I'm excited to try this service. Is it something you're using on a daily basis? - Devon Campbell

Nice job Video man .... :) - Charlie Anzman

Cute, but slow and clumsy interface - Nick

Not impressed. Confusing and hard to use. Keep it simple. - David Jacobs

It definitely has potential, but at this point it has a clumsy UI and some performance/stability issues (understandable in an alpha). Does anyone else agree that it is just plain hard to beat the simplicity of the FF RealTime UI for following and participating in conversations? - Robert Clockedile

...Perhaps FF should just let us drop our other social streams into the RealTime interface. Add cross-service posting, a la Posterous or Ping.fm, and that would be the killer app - Robert Clockedile

Trying this now...thanks. - Jen

Thanks for all the comments re PeopleBrowsr. Great feedback. We are working on UI and performance. And we improved the Groups feature. We use 'Live' tweets and messages from our Google Group http://groups.google.com/group... to shape PeopleBrowsr in real time. The Alpha Release is updated every day. Very welcome all your ideas. Thanks again - SHHHE
