only 5 reasons-how about less retards here... - Mark Forman

Mark lol :-) - Duncan Riley

I value Digg. But Digg is push; FF is pull. Which is truly the Web 2.0 application? - Chris Baskind

I also appreciate the egalitarian aspect of FF - no rankings, no voting (except for the likes - which help, but are based on content, no matter where it comes from) - and there is still a real feeling of community - Frederic

and no MrBabyMan, but in all reality Friendfeed is basically all stuff I like, with Digg I gotta sort though a pile of junk to find a handful of articles I like - BCK via twhirl

#3 is part of the social evolution. Eventually, we won't use services like digg, reddit, etc,. as much as before, not just because we won't have time :-) it's mainly because everyone can have the same "user power" when they submitting stuff to Twitter, Friendfeed etc,. - Orli Yakuel

should I comment on this or the digg post, hmmm - El-Hassan Wanas

It isnt overun but 11 people boosting the same political / copyright "news" to the front page every 3 minutes? - Soulhuntre via twhirl

I'm getting annoyed with half the conversation on friendfeed dealing with which social network is better. friendfeed is the best interface, but it is bad that there is nothing but a bunch of dorks here. IMHO MySpace and facebook has the best people... too bad the administration is fascist and the interface stupid. digg links to friendfeed. I don't have a problem with it beyond the fact that it is hard to use - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ

@ndsimon totally agree ive hidden as many meta-high-noise users as possible but its hard to avoid. the main issue is that comments should be hidden by default and can be opened by clicking on. as it is they take up too much realestate and also keep old items at the top if they have comments which intermittently get added thus adding the item to the top again which shouldnt happen either. - ben barren via Alert Thingy

If users are finding some streams on FF too noisy, shouldn't they just stop following the user instead of constantly hiding their posts? You can't filter Digg's front page in the same way. - RyanEs

FF is a web 2.0 chat room. It def appeals to the tech first mover crowd as previously there was no good way for us geeks to have constructive conversations at any moment on any topic. Previously we would have had to participate out in the open with the Diggers or one blog at a time. - Jason Goldberg

I am still hoping to seem some improvements in sorting/organizing the FF view to be easier to scan at-a-glance, but I definitely like it much better than Digg. - Jeremy Hall

Go Duncan! Friendfeed starting to hit that sweet spot. - Alex Hammer

Agreed! - Jeremy Kunz via twhirl

I Digg stuff that people ask me to Digg that is actually good content. I never visit the site otherwise because my introduction to it showed me that it was just a bunch of elitist crap. My friends and associates should take action to promote my content based on the fact that it's awesome, not cuz I asked them to. - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★

@chris - push is not web 2.0. Remember Pointcast? Total web .5 push tech. - Phil Glockner

Wouldn't that be fewer retards? (Said the grammar retard?) - Abby Martin

Excellent post Duncan, you are spot on. I don't even visit Digg anymore. Occasionally i will pull up there feed in G Reader, compare that to the countless hours i spend and devote on Friendfeed. The clear winner is FF on all fronts. - Mike Fruchter

The Wisdom of the Crowds depends a lot on who's in the crowd. - Leo Laporte
