I've been asking for DisLike for some time. - Victor Ryden

haha, ok. have my vote!!! - Hernan Garcia

Yeah, a Dislike link would be great. Doesn't have to do anything other than put "You dislike this" (just as Like does). No point system needs to be added or anything like that. It's just a declaration that you like or dislike a post. - Jason Huebel

I comment here because I don't get abused for answering Tweets here. - Robert Scoble

I also comment here because the answers are threaded. I also comment here because I can permalink to a cluster of comments about a single Tweet. I also comment here because people can "hide" this conversation if they don't like it. - Robert Scoble

oh dude, I see this being a blog post by morning! :) - Paula Hawk

Getting a little viral, isn't it? - moby74

I didn't know you could comment on friendfeed. - Jim Vrckovski

FriendFeed works, Twitter is down all the time. Twitter is a platform, FriendFeed utilizes this platform - for me, in the most useful way I've seen so far. (It's web-based, it allows conversations.) - sebmos

I don't put most things on both FriendFeed and Twitter. Why? I keep getting told I'm too noisy on Twitter so I'm using FriendFeed to reduce my noise. In fact, I've just told everyone to come over here instead of continuing this conversation on Twitter. Conversations aren't really good on Twitter. What is? Answering the question "what are you doing?" - Robert Scoble

Agreed with Robert. I really like the parallel nature of the Twitter / Friendfeed symbiosis. - Soulhuntre

This definitely looks like it's going to get viral! - Vinodh

Twitter need to make some sort of threaded comments system. - Richard Cunningham

I've thought of a better way to handle replies. Msaleem's original message is number 812534216, so to reply to reply @msaleem:812534216 which would map onto http://twitter.com/msaleem/sta... which should also be backwards compatible. Then clients could track the replies in a thread - Richard Cunningham

@ Richard Cunningham My first impulsive thought is : Threads would destroy twitter - Metta (Kamath)

ah, but we can do both! :-) - Duncan Riley

because it is another conversation thread that is easier to follow than on twitter and connect to other like minded people. - Rodney Rumford

I would use this more if Twhirl would just give me a sound stating someone replied to me. Also, threads are only one level on FF. Twhirl could technically do the same thing with Twitter - why not? - Jesse Stay via twhirl

Jaiku already has multi-level threaded comments. It's Google's fault that people aren't using it. - Morton Fox

Also, Quotably allows you to thread your replies to any tweet you want. - Morton Fox

You brought this on yourself, you know.... - GerryBot

Twitter is not intended to keep conversations. Let's try to keep what it was born to and then, if the tweet is interesting enough let's move the rest to FF. - Hernan Garcia

I think the biggest poblem is when people are adding comments that add nothing to the situation at all. Or when they are just rambling on and on about the same subject or make REALLY long sentences that clearly show that English is not their main language and that get lost in constructions that are hard to understand and you can clearly see that the commenter did not even take the time to read his own comment to see that it lacks proper structure and grammar. But it's like it's with cliffhangers, they are - Ruud van Wijngaarden

So sick of ppl telling me where to leave my comments. I'm sorry, but I'll comment anywhere I damn well please. Period. Get over it. - Shey

I agree with Shey. Recently, a friend of mine deleted his FriendFeed account specifically to stop me from replying to his stuff from here. - Akiva Moskovitz

See the 'choice' as a plus. It just takes a few seconds to come over here and look? - Charlie Anzman

Because we can't comment on them within twitter. I like the whole idea of comments. I wish I would recieve more comments on my friendfeed! - Cade Brown

When someone comments on Friendfeed (in lieu of Twitter), it should be a form of a compliment, showing that you have a higher level of exposure. - Zak K.

I can't see how Yahoo! generates near $33/share value for shareholders in the next 18-24 months w/out some major reshuffling and strategy changes. They're running on an antiquated business model and can't get away from it. I don't think the perennial also ran has it in them. - Morgan via twhirl

In the post he says that he does not like FF because it drives conversation out of your blog and into FF. I really think thats not the mindset that bloggers should have at this point, even if the conversation is not on your blog its still benefits you because they are talking about something you wrote and because it is outside of your blog its gonna bring outside traffic. - Gadiel Rivera

Great point: what matters most is that the conversation is happening, not where it happens. - engtech

Exactly my point :) - Gadiel Rivera

You're totally right Gadiel, but these people does not matter about the conversation itself but the traffic they can generate on their site, ergo, more money. These bad named bloggers are just like those editors in the (already deprecated) big news sites controlling what happened around the information for their own benefits. - Hernan Garcia via twhirl

Used to be, in theory. But I honestly put the Blackberry away most evenings and weekends now. I can't be both tethered to that and FriendFeed at the same time. - Louis Gray

There's no need to have a blackberry, any wifi enable device makes you 7/24 slave :) - Hernan Garcia via twhirl
