Why I Rejoined FriendFeed
Saturday, January 16, 2010 at 6:32AM
I suppose I should've written this post like... idk... a week ago.
BUT!
I didn't, so I am writing it now.
First off, if you didn't know already, this is why I left FriendFeed. As I said in the post, I would not be returning.
LIES!
I have returned and here's why:
Twitter is good at pushing out content and personal updates, but going one level deeper in conversation makes me want to rip off the screen on my laptop. Honestly, 140 characters is not enough! GIMME MORE! And good lord, can we get some threaded conversations please?
I am not a hardcore Twitter nut and I am not the type of person that is like "Hey, TWITTER IS DA SHIT, FOLLOW ME NAOW!!" I honestly just use Twitter because everyone else is there, but I don't feel the passion of Twitter that many other people do.
On FriendFeed the passion I had for the service was shared by many other people. Anyone who used FriendFeed and got over the initial confusion of it (yes, it was confusing at first) was passionate about the product as well. It's just fun when you feel like you belong.
I missed my friends. Honestly, some of you I have become really close to me and it is just not cool ditching your friends. So I decided I could get over myself.
On FriendFeed, the community is so tight it is hard to remember that the internet still exists and that means we play by different rules. Personal insults and rude comments are norm and you don't belong on the internet if you can't handle it. I forgot that about FriendFeed and took too many things personally when I never would have on any other service. That won't be happening again.
AND... that's all I got for you.
Why I returned to FriendFeed *hugs*

I have returned and here's why:
1. Twitter Sucks
Twitter is good at pushing out content and personal updates, but going one level deeper in conversation makes me want to rip off the screen on my laptop. Honestly, 140 characters is not enough! GIMME MORE! And good lord, can we get some threaded conversations please?
2. I Don't Belong
I am not a hardcore Twitter nut and I am not the type of person that is like "Hey, TWITTER IS DA SHIT, FOLLOW ME NAOW!!" I honestly just use Twitter because everyone else is there, but I don't feel the passion of Twitter that many other people do.

3. Hell, I Missed Everyone
I missed my friends. Honestly, some of you I have become really close to me and it is just not cool ditching your friends. So I decided I could get over myself.
4. Realizing FriendFeed Is Still The Internet
On FriendFeed, the community is so tight it is hard to remember that the internet still exists and that means we play by different rules. Personal insults and rude comments are norm and you don't belong on the internet if you can't handle it. I forgot that about FriendFeed and took too many things personally when I never would have on any other service. That won't be happening again.

Why I returned to FriendFeed *hugs*
