Friendfeed
I've become something of a Twitterer in recent months. My previously preferred micro-blog - Jaiku - has suffered a serious decline in its health and looks (to coin a nautical phrase) 'dead in the water'. I've discussed this before:
.. so I won't go on despairing about Jaiku's slow death.
However, I will mention FriendFeed. I am http://friendfeed.com/dsugden and I like FriendFeed very much. It's a micro-blogging site like Jaiku and like Twitter but unlike both, it allows pictures to be seen in its stream. I export to Twitter from FriendFeed and FriendFeed brings back Twitter posts from my FriendFeed followers. And there is its downside (hopefully temporarily) - there are just not enough 'friends' on FriendFeed.
FriendFeed keeps comments with the post that is commented upon! Unlike Twitter, where comments can have no meaning at all. I might say something on Twitter on Monday and a follower may well only get to read it on Tuesday - but the "I agree/disagree" reply, when it appears on my Tuesday stream, has no meaning because it is not tied to the post commented upon (still with me?) ... FriendFeed keeps it all together.
Try it?
