Co-founder Paul Buchheit says that isn’t accurate (and I believe him), but it’s clear that the service hasn’t grown much in the last few months.Amanda Crowehttp://www.asiarooms.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-34257582353765310932009-04-20T15:45:00.000+01:002009-04-20T15:45:00.000+01:00I like the friend feed option personally, but ther...I like the friend feed option personally, but there are a couple of downsides for you:<br />(1) some people don't like the hassle of registering at a new site, learning how to use it, remembering passwords and so on. Therefore you might not find many more readers of the Eurocrime news room than there are of the crime and fiction room.<br />(2) So far as I know (but have not really looked) you can't tell much about the traffic to Friend Feed.<br />(3) if you add four or more links over a time period, they do not all display separately but you get "see 16 more like this" - so users have to click on that to see all the links. Regular users will know to do this, but new users won't, I suspect.<br /><br />The three of us who have answered so far are all friend feed users already, so it would be nice if you get some responses from regular Euro Crime users who aren't also Friend Feed users.<br /><br />I do think it is fun to comment on the links, which you can do at FF but not directly at Euro Crime.Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-9225590562778913442009-04-20T14:56:00.000+01:002009-04-20T14:56:00.000+01:00I also like friendfeed, and regularly look at it f...I also like friendfeed, and regularly look at it from eurocrime and click on links, so if it's easier for you to do updates that way, then go for it!LauraRootnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-17094870869562772342009-04-20T13:08:00.000+01:002009-04-20T13:08:00.000+01:00I agree with Mack that the ability to ´like´ a pos...I agree with Mack that the ability to ´like´ a post is a good option. Quite often I am too busy/tired/ stupid/uninspired or whatever to say something sensible, and then ´I like´ is a good way to let people know I am there and follow their blog.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-46374321325469020862009-04-20T04:18:00.000+01:002009-04-20T04:18:00.000+01:00I like the friend feed option myself and if that's...I like the friend feed option myself and if that's easier for you I say go for it.Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-7487310934640315362009-04-19T21:56:00.000+01:002009-04-19T21:56:00.000+01:00Karen, the existing format is a straight forward, ...Karen, the existing format is a straight forward, unadorned list and quite functional. Personally, I like the more friendly aspects of FriendFeed. The ability to comment and "like" a post are pluses for me. Using the "share on friendfeed" bookmarklet makes it very easy to add a link. My vote would be for a FriendFeed room but only if you are comfortable with comments and likes breaking up the flow.Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555318160638307655noreply@blogger.com
