True, Karoli. Between Lists and JustSignal.com, I’ve got it under control. And Steve, I did what you did — fed Twitter from FF instead of the other way around.

Michael Krigsman,

Also, creating lists in FF helps immensely. That last sentence of above post should read “here”, without the word “at”

It really says something when a service’s initial critics can turn around and become its best advocates. It’s not about “my service” vs. “your service”, but about finding new ways to make connections, share information and enable conversation where it wants to be. We’re happy to have you at FriendFeed and look forward to more insights.

That’s too funny. It’s true that I always thought you’d find the platform worthwhile. But months back, when the echo chamber argument was in full press, you made me reconsider what value I could find in rehashing already disseminated information. Now it seems that FriendFeed’s greater potential has come to the fore and users have shown that finding the true value isn’t something that’s immediately obvious.

The thread you linked to on my name has exploded with comments. Great stuff! To me, that’s exactly what makes FriendFeed great.
