Hi folks, i am hoping to tap on the early adopter crowd here to understand a question that I think should be of interest to quite a few of us.

Do you use friendfeed anymore? The most common consensus is that save for the hyper-connected ones, there is too much noise and irrelevant information.

Do you use facebook often? I have been getting plenty of comments that people like us are not using facebook much because utility value is low, and it is full of crap.

What are your thoughts?




The value of all of these sites depend on how many of your friends (by which I mean, people who you actually want to see information on) are using these services. For me, facebook has the most, then twitter, then friendfeed.


I don't have enough friends who use something other than Facebook. A grand total of four use Twitter. The rest are like "What's twitter?"


I find FriendFeed to be a valuable resource. If you don't have actual friends to follow, try following some folks who's blogs you read. You'll often get lots of good stuff to look at and read.

EDIT: oh, and FriendFeed also has "virtual" friends, for people like you who have actual friends that don't seem to keep up with all of these services.


Even so, I wouldn't use FriendFeed. So thanks


No, I moved on to the next, next, next new thing.


I barely use facebook any more. A select group of my friends moved onto ning.com, but by and large, I don't use much in the way of social networking sites. Facebook seems to have turned me off of it, especially with the creepy News Feed.
