An interesting idea from Eran Sandler here: http://twitter.com/erans..., could FriendFeed please display, link, or ideal have an expand option to show the 'in-reply-to' text for @replies tweets?
Molly, metalerik, Anton and 11 other people liked this
This would help with the annoyance of the @replies on FriendFeed which a lot of people have. #betakoltag-sg-extservices
- Kol Tregaskes
Seriously needed! Even just a link would be better than nothing.
- Boris Gordon
In general it would be great if FriendFeed would be a full-featured Twitter client. It would remove the feeling of having to choose to be on FriendFeed or on Twitter. Most cool thing would be if FriendFeed could actually make conversation threading for tweets. If a tweet has a in_reply_to id, then it should be shown on FriendFeed as a comment on the original tweet (from perhaps a "virtual" FriendFeed user, if the Twitter user is not on FF), together with all other replies to that tweet.
- Meryn Stol
In this scenario, only tweets which do not have in_reply_to id specified would be shown in the user's feeds. The rest would be attached as comments to other people's tweets, and would be shown to subscribers to that user through the regular FF "FoaF" feature.
- Meryn Stol
Meryn, I don't think it should be a comment but a link or something to expand under the tweet. A comment would make it very confusing.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yeah, which is why the expanded Twitter entry should be included last inside the FF post/comment proper, and clearly delimited as such; e.g. [In response to CNETNews: " Second Life cracks whip on adult content http://tinyurl.com/d39fk7 " http://twitter.com/CNETNew... ] or similar format.
- ianf ⌘
Yep, like I say either a link to the 'in-reply-to post' or the ability to expand it under the entry. it definitely shouldn't be a comment or visible initially.
- Kol Tregaskes

"Although most people are trying their hardest to avoid deep fried foods; few can resist the deep fried pickle. If you've never tried one, you owe it to yourself to indulge in this unusual culinary delight. Nearly everyone who tries them agrees they are unexpectedly delicious and incredibly addicting! While it's hard to determine who made the first deep fried pickle, research indicates it originated in New Orleans. Today, deep fried pickles are served in restaurants and bars across the country, with each having a unique recipe and flavor. Deep fried pickles can be made from just about any type of pickle including pickle slices, pickle spears, and whole pickles. It doesn't matter what flavor of pickles because they all taste great when they are deep fried. The most common choices include regular dill and garlic dill, but bread and butter pickles and baby gherkin pickles make excellent choices as well."

Re: louisgray.com: Who's to Blame for Snow Leopard Disabling My Adobe CS4 Licensing? - http://www.louisgray.com/live...
acedanger liked this
"We use the TLP (download) version of CS4: works fine in Snow Leopard. Activation is based on a snapshot of your system: it's encoded and sent to a licensing server, which periodically checks to see if that snapshot hasn't changed. The reason for this is to prevent you from copying it to another computer after it's been installed. When you upgraded to Snow Leopard, it's likely that the snapshot changed, and so the licensing server doesn't think you are authorized to use the activated software. I've noticed in your account of this you didn't mention if you tried reinstalling. You really ought to try that: if there's an activation issue, that's virtually the only way to resolve it. Adobe has documents in its Knowledge Base on how to remove all traces of the software before you reinstall, which will minimize problems."

Eric, I think it's called "social drunkeness". There was a study several years ago, that showed college students "acting" more drunk off a lot of cups of some super-light beer, than off a few glasses of a stronger beer. They said there is no way the light beer could have affected them, but since everyone else was acting drunk, the subjects did too.

"Is there a way Fox News can bring religion into the health care debate? Of course! They successfully accomplished that today with a cancer-surviving Bishop as a guest on Fox & Friends – and used the fantastic chyron “What Would Jesus Do?” But that’s not all. Bishop Harry Jackson was the guest for a quick interview this morning on the FNC morning show, and not surprisingly, he’s not a fan of the Obama administration’s plan. And it wasn’t just the chyron that asked the WWJD question. “Well here’s a loaded question,” began co-host Gretchen Carlson at the beginning of the interview. “What would Jesus do? That’s the question for many Christians when it comes to health care reform.”"

"Small businesses that received $682 million in IOUs from the state say California expects them to pay taxes on the worthless scraps of paper, but refuses to accept its own IOUs to pay debts or taxes.

Lead plaintiff Nancy Baird filled her contract with California to provide embroidered polo shirts to a youth camp run by the National Guard, but never was paid the $27,000 she was owed.

Facebook doesn't seem to have a good reputation with those kind of thing. Facebook promised to open their chat/IM system via XMPP.

You know what, Jaiku was open sourced. And nobody uses it anymore. The fact that "it" (FB open sourcing FF) will happen or not is completely irrelevant. Because you will all be hopping on the next early adopter miracle train (read:service) anyway. So stop whining and move on. Federated this, federated that. identi.ca tried that. Again, no users. It's nice to talk the talk. Especially at times like this. You just gotta walk the darn walk afterwards. Which people usually forget to do.

Whoa... you should enhance your calm. Communities are finicky things and sources like Microsoft that are poo-pooing Open Source IMHO is the real problem. Me thinks that a better source of education to dissipate the FUD floating in the global porcelain bowel instead of modern political tactics are are needed to solve real problems.

Leo, like this idea.

adoption of open standards such as OMB, which is used by laconica, would allow federation among servers

It will one hell of a start, I doubt it though...
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
It would be a good thing, but not sure it it will ever happen

I support this as well.
- Carlos Ayala
Now this is something I would fly out to support at the launch...

If FriendFeed went open source identi.ca / lamonica would be dealt a serious blow. FriendFeed could become even more powerful if the people could tinker with the code and add many features that remain missing, or strengthen features that currently are weak. It will be interesting to se how FB utilizes their newest acquisition...

I don't usually like Nazi humor, but after seeing this in my feed about 6 times I watched it. It's excellent.
- Bruce Lewis
If we can't laugh at the Nazi's, what good are they?
- Paul Puri
Wonder what they are saying in German. It's delightful seeing this crazy man talk about FF, twitter and plurk. That was the funniest. "We still have plurk"
