"If you were part of the active community that made FriendFeed special in those wide-eyed years, you experienced something I've never seen with any community since (with occasional flashes on Google+ and Twitter being exceptions). If you missed it, then you missed out on seeing one of the most talented teams ever assembled working on something that was both fun and smart. And that story's final chapter is coming without us ever getting the happy ending we were hoping for. I'm not mad, just wistful at what might have been."

To this day, FriendFeed remains technically superior to any of the other social networks with realtime feeds. There's just no comparison. Sad to see it go, but surprised and happy it at least lasted this long.

Super sad day, but we all knew it was coming. Still sad, though. I am very grateful for the friendships forged here and for the amazing social experience. No other platform is this good. What shame this was ever purchased.

Good article, Louis. So sad.

I wish they would give us the code so we could set up our own instances on private servers. I've tried just about every social network and group communication tool, and nothing is as clean and threaded and asynchronous as FF.

"I wish they would give us the code so we could set up our own instances on private servers. I've tried just about every social network and group communication tool, and nothing is as clean and threaded and asynchronous as FF." -- why do so few people notice this? -- it's a mystery. Every available substitute for FF is a major step backward.
