We have transferred FriendFeed to Facebook's data centers, which has fixed many of the ongoing performance problems we have had with the site and will provide us more room to grow.

We still have a handful of ongoing issues with services like IM, but most everything else should be online. We will update you all here when everything has been transferred.

- Kol Tregaskes
Works better for me today than it has the past few days.
- John (bird whisperer)
It's as bad now as it was last night when I gave up on it. Is there something else wrong? Something at my end? Or are others still experiencing poor performance?
- Kol Tregaskes
it's blazing for me.
- Joe The Sausage
Looks like a few others are finding it slow again: http://ff.im/hYXxl

Shortly after my last comment I started having some problems again, both with the bookmarklet and long waits for comments to post.
- John (bird whisperer)
Seems like the problems are actually worse and things slower after the transfer -- so I don't think any performance problems were "fixed".
- Brian Sullivan
Thank you very much! I had been wondering about friendfeed-reservation-02-07-snc1.facebook.com (69.63.180.52) resulting from ping. It seems that SSL https connections are not working -- switching over to plain http for now helps. Is there a plan to somehow integrate FF services with FB? (FaceBuzz ;-)
- Adriano
Is https still broken for you? It was broken yesterday, but was fixed last night at approximately 9:30 pm PDT.
- Tudor Bosman
https was working for me as was the bookmarklet (which seems dependent) - but is now broken again. Just started working again.
- Brian Sullivan
FriendFeed is very fast for me again. Fantastic work. Thanks!

Bret, thanks for the update!
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
just, please, don't let this thing die. just don't.
- LaurazetaTL
ummm...things seem to be broken again. I'm seeing comments disappear and I've got people showing up in my feed that I'm not subscribed too and aren't Friend of a Friend (which I've got turned off)
- Sir Shuping is just sir
Yeah just noticed a thread of mine where the comments vanished... after several refreshes they are back but it was still confusing!
- Lindsay
Disappearing comments for me, also.

i dont know how you will bring back the disappeared comments. i hope you will find a way to do it. because, i really really think that, friendfeed is going a way back down. performance issues are alot we faced lately.
- Bahriye
The disappearing comments are sometimes reappearing, so they're not gone gone...I made another comment on a post that had lost its comments, and they all came back.

Good times.
- Micah
Hey, Paul, you should post something like "I am the walrus" and see if it generates a TechCrunch article. Extra points if you can get them to say "monkey".
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken, I'm still unclear on whether being the walrus is a good thing or not.
- Paul Buchheit
I think it depends on whether you ask John Lennon or Lewis Carrol. Maybe you could leave that part out and just go with "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together."
- Ken Sheppardson
Paul - exactly - gotta wonder, what the heck did Steve Gillmor mean by that? Walrus, really?
- Susan Beebe
But at least it got everyone's attention that is good, but now we want to know what is next, anticipation, a lot like a ketchup commercial.

Bret: Most of the time when people talk about social quality of FriendFeed, they compare it to twitter. Conversations are attached to entries on friendfeed.
- Louis Gray
Bret: It can be a strength and a weakness. What would have been a decentralized reaction on a site like Twitter can be centralized on FriendFeed.
- Louis Gray
Arrington: There is a tiny percentage of people who is completely insane and real threats can happen.
- Louis Gray
typical overstatement
- Richard Walker
Arrington: If something bad happens, because of what happened on FriendFeed, it's your fault.
- Louis Gray
Bret: That's a complex set of comments in a simple sentence, so I am going to ignore what you said,
- Louis Gray
So anger doesn't build (for the agitators) from one blog post to another? —the anger on and around TC only started since the advent of FF?
- Micah
Arrington: You admit there is a problem about mobs forming on FriendFeed.
- Louis Gray
Bret: People who have very few followers or very many, the discussions aren't great.
- Louis Gray
yes Micah it's all FF's fault ... is the main thrust.
- Richard Walker
Arrington: I expected a big back and forth on deleting the account, but it was very efficient.
- Louis Gray
Bret: We haven't had many complaints with the exception of your incident.

Bret: You can turn off comments in your entries and feeds. That's a practical thing that we can do. There are other ideas, but they are being tested.
- Louis Gray
Bret: Let's say you are following Barack Obama, that's going to have reactions from a political spectrum. You might want to only see comments from your friends. He's not really your friend, but is a connector.
- Louis Gray
Poor Scoble :)
- Jérôme
Arrington: You are going to test things to disperse your user base?
- Louis Gray
Lame. Ustream crashes my browser. I'll look for a transcript later.
- Rochelle
Scoble: The real-time Web is going to bring it into your comments and other places. There is a mob mentality, and we caused it.
- Louis Gray
I can't believe this discussion is happening.
- Rodfather
Micah, it isn't really an announcement. Paul recently gave some hints about future FF developments. Watch here: http://www.techcrunchit.com/2009...
- Jérôme
Scoble: We brought a huge crowd, and you got into it with the country of France, and people are going to get in the bleacher seats and throw rotten tomatoes every once in a while.
- Louis Gray
Arrington: We have complete agreement that I am right.
- Louis Gray
Thanks, Jérôme.
- Micah
Arrington: I am going to reinstate my FriendFeed account, and I need techcrunch back.

- Micah
Whoever re-registered the techcrunch account put it in the bio that they'll willingly return it to Mike.
- DGentry
Allen: theatrics. Yes, plain and simple.
- Micah
Matthew, I'm not entirely denying that. In the lifestyle that some choose to live, the real and the theatrical become fused into one.
- Micah
That was so unfair! I think we should turn into an unruly mob now. Kidding
- Michael Fidler
Too bad there's not a room for this.

Free advice: Not to minimize the problem of threats, but it does not make one automatic martyr for life. Others have been threatened, and don't make a federal case over it. IMO.

I LOVE Tri-Tip and I TOTALLY miss it...it's nowhere to be found in Rochester, NY as you know :) I never had TriTip in Huntington Beach, but saw it EVERYWHERE when I attended CalPoly SLO (San Luis Obispo). It's *huge* in Santa Maria, just south of SLO, as it's supposedly the "birthplace" of TriTip dinner: with those cute little red / pink beans, garlic bread, salad...YUM!! Yes, Louis do a nice blog post with pics so I can drool over here! :)

Tri-tip is meat of the gods. It's my dad's go-to cut of beef and mine as well. I love getting the whole tri-tip and then cutting my steaks from that. And then again, it's gorgeous just as a whole roast with a nice cracked black peppercorn crust and a red wine glaze....OMG I'm going to die just thinking about it.
