This is really empty… Are you some kind of child from Reganomics??

I get depressed as hell when I think about what your personal life must be like. God, you must be so lonely.

You seem to be a sort of typical, below average, decadent, self actualizing yuppie.

Hi Louis, thanks for providing your perspective. I can appreciate that Friendfeed hasn't fulfilled it's potential for some folks, though I find myself using it more and more everyday.

To the hispters comment.. I have definitely heard hipsters make the exact same argument about bands once they get big and I continue to stand behind it being an accurate comparison. I'm certainly not suggesting that early adopters aren't necessary, but there is a danger with relying on them for long term growth.

I think labeling early adopters as hipsters is not accurate. Early adopters, myself included, really believe in products well before others do. Sometimes we are right, and sometimes we are wrong – be it due to market changes or the product potentially not developing as expected. I believe in what Friendfeed was supposed to have been. I like what it turned out to be. But there is a big gap between what I thought was its full potential and where we are now. It is disappointing, yet you won't see me ditching the service. It is still very powerful, even as there is lower engagement.
