Comments on: Has Friendfeed Stalled? http://www.markevanstech.com/2008/11/06/has-friendfeed-stalled/ Thoughts on Startups, Entrepreneurs and the Web Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:25:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ari Newman http://www.markevanstech.com/2008/11/06/has-friendfeed-stalled/comment-page-1/#comment-131821 Ari Newman Fri, 07 Nov 2008 17:36:08 +0000 http://www.markevanstech.com/?p=4221#comment-131821 Mark - thanks for the mention. It will be interesting to see how FF continues to grow, and whether it reaches more mainstream adoption as Twitter is starting to. The fact that CNN was pushing their twitter ID during the election is a good indicator of just how much exposure they are getting now. Here's a Filtrbox usage tip for Twitter and FF: Filtrbox monitors both Twitter and FriendFeed, and you can use it to proactively monitor a bunch of users or keywords. Using Filtrbox, you can get a more complete view of the conversations, as well as look at mentions on any given date. Its like running a whole bunch of twitter and friendfeed searches over and over again, and then consolidating the results into a single view. You can pull these down via an RSS feed or get daily emails that provide all the posts. Mark – thanks for the mention.

Ironically, many of my tweets are now generated in FriendFeed (including notifications of posts to selected blogs, the only way in which I am using the new echo-to-Twitter feature). I guess that what I like about FriendFeed is the structured nature of the conversations, which are contained in discrete objects rather than being an unstructured feed. Perhaps if Twitter had been engineered to allow someone to reply to a specific tweet, this capability of FriendFeed wouldn't be so attractive. Despite my personal preferences, I think everyone agrees that FriendFeed will never become as big as Twitter. Twitter's ease of use is a HUGE advantage, which could conceivably let it grow into the tens of millions. I ended up moving more towards FriendFeed, and more away from Twitter.

All of my friends are on FB. They aren't on Twitter or Flickr or any of the other sites on which I'd rather be socializing with them. So FF gives me a way of sharing what I'm up to with my friends without having to actually go to the Facebook site to tell them.

I've tried to get FF (get a daily email that i don't read), but keep just coming back to Twitter. p.s. you're missing a 'w' in the url of Filtrbox. I agree totally.
