Exactly - Shevonne

The best comment I've heard today! - Bonnie Foster

its actually quite easy to ignore someone you could have done without. *sigh* - Sidney

Wow. Some of you apparently live terrible lives, filled with terrible people you seem unable to avoid, with the possible exception of this one website, I feel terrible about that.Of course, it's also possible you've wildly overestimated the difference between the people you know here and the people who know you in real life. - Richard Lawler

Or it could be, you're wrong. - Bwana ☠

Nope, you're the ones who keep saying everyone you know and everything you do on facebook sucks. That must be terrible. - Richard Lawler

Yes Richard because clearly I can make friends from all over the world on my daily stroll through the park. Or not. - vijay

Richard: That there's a possible incompatibility between networks centered around personal relationships -- or at least people you've physically encountered -- and networks based largely on interests, seems pretty clear to me. - Christopher A Carr

Yes, it's confirmed. You're wrong. - Bwana ☠

bingo - Jim Goldstein

My life wouldn't be the same without vijay - Rodfather

If everyone you've physically encountered sucks, the problem just might be you. - Richard Lawler

Hear, hear. This news sucks. - Adi

Oh Lord....not this guy :) - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Richard: I suppose there's nothing stopping you from deleting your ff account now and heading on over to Facebook full-time. - Christopher A Carr

I like this post, but I love all my social networks equally lol. - Ryan Peach

Luckily, unlike so many here, I can keep using any website I want the same way I did before without devolving into a baseless bitchfest about what might happen someday somewhere. Or, I could have kneejerk reaction based on irrational fear. hmmm - Richard Lawler

And you're very good at keeping your assumptions to yourself - Bwana ☠

Richard: Were friendfeed to say that it's going to survive, or at least that FB will have a more open, public facing side to it as a result of the acquisition, then I think the bitching would subside. As it stands, there's not much reason to think that anything of friendfeed will survive. If Facebook perfectly met everyone's needs, there would be no friendfeed. - Christopher A Carr

On the bright side, I can have a kneejerk reaction on FB and remove baseless bitches from my friends list. :) - jcunwired

Except, they haven't really said anything. So thinking anything will or won't survive is premature. If Facebook perfectly met everyone's expectations there would be no need for war, sickness or evil deeds. Every online community is the same as every other one, if friendfeed, for whatever reason, doesn't keep doing what you want ti to do, you'll use something else. It hasn't ever been perfect and it never will be. - Richard Lawler

I told you Richard. You're wrong. "Taylor and Cox say that the Friendfeed product will live on independently, and eventually Friendfeed will be merged into Facebook. But the Friendfeed team is not being kept whole. Some employees will now report to Cox, others to engineering head Mike Schroepfer. In my opinion that means, long term, the Friendfeed product itself is unlikely to be a big priority." http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Bwana ☠

Well, you told me what techcrunch's opinion is, because that's what I wanted to know. Thanks! (there's sarcasm there) - Richard Lawler

Ok let me slow it down for you. The team is splitting. The product is going to merge with Facebook. (No sarcasm) - Bwana ☠

Richard: "Every online community is the same as every other one..." That's nonsense. - Christopher A Carr

I can wholly identify with JC's statement. - JA Castillo

Wow Bwana...you are really bitchy in this thread...I think Richard is making some good points. If you are having issues with the people you 'accept' on Facebook there really is only one person who you can point the finger. You. Facebook makes it quite easy to NOT get involved with any person. - Sidney

Thanks. Appreciate the feedback. - Bwana ☠

I accept friends in Facebook because if they took the time to want to be friends with me, I feel obligated. I'm also not one to hurt a person's feelings by turning them down. That's what its like in a closed community like Facebook. Friendfeed is totally open - I can read, share, participate and like without having any obligation whatsoever to the people I interact with. - jcunwired

Sidney - Refusing to see that there is a clear difference between the people and the atmosphere of Facebookers and Friendfeeders is either foolishness or stubbornness. There is a world in facebook, full of garbage, that people think is "ok" because it evolved from other crap. - Matthew DeVries

Same here. Wisely said! - Nia

You are probably right. I am checking things out only now - AbZ from Nambu

There is the matter of censorship too. You really have to post some very illegal crap before FF will step in a mod it. Facebook bounces you for saying breastfeeding. - Matthew DeVries

I couldn't have put it better myself. Just got back and saw the news. Still digesting it. - Charlie Anzman

Well said guys! - Susan Beebe

Actually, I love most of my Facebook friends, or I wouldn't have (re)connected. But FF is a different community. - Glen, Bespectacled Elder

Dont twitter groups achieve a similar effect? - AbZ from Nambu

I like Facebook friends, I don't like that think it's ok to kidnap me, poke me, or ask me what Fantana girl I'm most like. I don't like that they think I'm the misanthropic curmudgeon with the problem when I ask them not to "It's what Facebook is for" - Matthew DeVries

LOL - Thomas Power

It's interesting to see ho people use different networking sites - for example - I use FB for personal connections and family and the rest are business related. - Graham Bunting

I like my friends, but you are definently right. I just got on friendfeed any advice on making friends? - Ryan Peach

Smart! - Martha

Great insight! - William Phillips
