I VERY MUCH appreciate this video. it's jus they type of thing that helps me understand a tool quicker so that i can get to using it more effectively. I've been on FF for a few months now and have all my social sites pulled in as well as things being pushed out to Twitter, but i'm still strugglin' with how to best make use of this and where to spend my time. I spend most time in Twitter via TweetDeck because it make mose logical sense to me and i've built a bit of a personal 'flow' that works for me. If i can get FF down like i've got TweetDeck down i'll be on my way :)

thanks man!

PS - Comment above refers to Part 2 of Tim O'Reilly's interview by Robert. Apologies for commenting so quickly. ;-)

Finally watched this. Very informative, and many seeds for inspiration. We would like to think it all comes back to Tim's definition of the Web as a Platform. Then going back to Blank's 4 Steps to The Epiphany, that it is about building something that people value, that they express a need for.

The disruptive services you have been covering are all great examples of this. There are many services yet to unleash the potential of the Mobile as a platform, one that raises the Web's overall reach. The platform that was the Web has evolved to a higher plane as it merges with the phone, and the explosion was triggered by Apple with the iphone, right?

To Mr. Robert Scoble,

Thank You!

Thank you for making the video and providing the location for the discussion.

I am studying and learning from the FriendFeed (FF) 20-video and the "sucks" discussion.

I have to go over and over it to fully understand it.
(A small price to pay for knowledge)

Again, "Thank You" for giving it to us.

Pat OMahony,
patrick.omahony@gmail.com or pomahony2.

P.S.
May I suggest that you use more care in the "title" of your discussion.
1. The word "sucks" may be offensive to some people.
2. The title implies that you think FF sucks.
(I know, I know!. You do not - "other people" said that!)
3. Maybe keep the title generic "What people say about FF".

End

I will have to share this with my social media diva friend, (@hkremer on Twitter) who will soon beat the pants off Kawasaki as well.

A great post, especially since I followed the link to the Guy Kawasaki interview. I've used only one FriendFeed application: sharing links to articles I've read in Firefox. Can't wait to set it up for full capacity use.

Absolutely brilliant Robert thank you so much and can we have the same again on all the other 15 services you mentioned you use each day?

Wow, great.
I will share this with my friends around the Social Networks.
Thanks!

Oh and here I am on FriendFeed. :)

I really like FriendFeed, particularly because of how well it is built, but I simply haven't found a way to "keep up" with it. Watching your video has been enlightening. Thanks for sharing!

Oh, and doesn't FF remind you of Facebook's activity stream? Obviously Facebook is a "walled garden" but - API access aside - it is very similar.

Thanks for the tips

Good video, but FF is still pretty much a way to save time amidst the larger category of generally wasting time.

Excellent!

I used to read this blog for insight into new technologies and trends in tech. Now all I see are ads for twitter, friendfeed and self affirmation. Enjoy

I like the friendly competition that goes around between bloggers (Chow and Cuts), as well as you two. Makes for great personality on your blogs!

The video is not for social media beginners but it is very valuable by explaining 20 features in 26 minutes. Good job Robert!

Thank you for putting this out there.

Great video. Will point all my non-friendfeeding friends this way. Really hope FriendFeed appreciates your input on their service.

Very useful and well-made presentation of an interesting tool. I have a modest suggestion (from my experience as a teacher): it could be useful for many to have a kind of summarizing this interesting material - think of slide show for example. It's much easier to follow and exercise while using new application. But it is just a suggestion - thank you for investing your time in spreading useful knowledge!

So the key distinction between FriendFeed and Twitter is that FriendFeed is Twitter + lifestream?

Re: 20 ways to being a bigger friendfeed monster than Guy Kawasaki

Chris Loft — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 00:38:35 -0000

Great points, feed the beast. Friendfeed is not a complicated application; some users look at FFand don't see anything in it at all. FriendFeed already has intuitive features that users can use over time - as their adoption/adaption of this 20-way path to monsterdom becomes assimilated into their everyday life.

Thanks, great post. I learned a lot. But I wanted to get your opinion on when to use Friendfeed vs Twitter (#13), but I could not find it in your video?
