I have started looking at FriendFeed for right now. Twitter does have issues with downtime, but it’s addicting.

That’s actually how I found your site.

I’m liking Ping but haven’t figured out “triggers” and all this other stuff.

Which is a whole new blog post in and of itself:
I know everyone is trying to brand themselves with these little words (like Plurk’s “karma” and Ping’s “triggers”) but what I could really use is a cross-reference glossary.

I have a feeling that many of these branded terms are really the same thing (would you like a Coke, a soda, a pop, or a soft drink with that?) and they’re messing with our brain cells.

OK, that’s a million dollar idea for some astute social networking watchdog!

I agree with Maria… Ping makes it easy to “spread the love” and appear on a bunch of sites w/ one click. Hey, YouTube never has capacity issues!

Hopefully Amazon’s Bezos will help this problem soon enough. Twitter is a great tool but not sure people will stick around until the problem is fixed.

Great question. One thing I always tell my clients. If you’re on Twitter, get on Plurk or similar micro-blogging site too. Some are so bogged down, they think focus on one and that’s that.

But, with great services like Ping.fm and such, managing multiples is easy. The moral? When Twitter goes down, you shoot on over to Plurk, most of your connect are there anyways

Never, ever, ever, ever put all your social media eggs in one basket, as you said. This goes with Facebook, Twitter, and everything else one is using.

You rock
