Johnny Worthington who is one of the more dynamic and interesting people on FriendFeed issued an open letter to the developers of FriendFeed to find out what is happening with the web site. Many of the FriendFeed users (myself included) have an emotional and time investment in the system that is not easily replaced or moved over to another system. While Paul Buchheit stated on FriendFeed that the site is in the Chrysalis stage to the next big thing, the users are getting antsy.
In comes Johnny’s open letter, this is one of the most heartfelt pleadings of a community member that I have read in a long time. It is worth reading because it is probably one of the best pleas for information, and probably the last chance that FriendFeed has to answer the community directly and succinctly about what is happening with their investment in the FriendFeed system. The teaser message just is not enough because people are emotionally invested in the community, and the community is seeking answers or abandoning in droves, FriendFeed traffic is down
