yeah, i have to say that the one-click Office 2010 beta is kind of cool, because it's on demand, but it demands high bandwidth. This demo video of glide says clearly theat they are using tier 1 servers and tier one isps, so not really a game-changer, per se, until the bandwidth goes to the people

The idea that everyone else should change their DNS in order to visit your shortened URLs is a pretty ridiculous one, if you ask me.
- April Russo (app103)
Hmmm...It didn't work for me before and then I installed a bunch of unicode fonts in an attempt to eliminate the problem with some missing chars on some pages, and now it does work. So if it doesn't work for you, you might not have to change your DNS after all. I still don't like the idea of using a shortener that people may have an issue with reaching the pages, though.

How does this work? I am unfamiliar with IDN TLD.

Sorry, I was wrong. It's not IDN TLD, but FQDN (Google it), and looks like this site is just an experimental. "Hey! This is just an experimental redirector, not intended for public use (yet). If you want to use this, you know who to contact... " (Who?)

"Now regional networks are gone. We first noticed the change when I was trying to search for my Facebook friends in New York City to plan for an upcoming trip. Friend after friend had their college or work networks, but no regional network. So I checked my own. Sure enough, “Silicon Valley” was gone, and so were the local networks for all of the Mashable editorial staff."

They never really expanded them in the first place. I mean, the physical Silicon Valley encompasses a pretty large area, and I could never drill down to, say, Mountain View or Fremont, so I never even tried.

I have Google Wave now. It's awesome and I love it. But then again, I'm a Google fanboy. Anyone want to share their Google Wave usernames so we can add each other to our contact lists?

To all asking about invites: I have none. There is currently no way to do that. Also, viki saigal: I have it and can post a screenshot if you'd like. It's the Developer Preview.
- Eric Geller
I doubt I will have enough invites to get you all in, at least not in the first round. But I'll invite people in the order you post here.
- Eric Geller
If you can, right here Eric. Thanks!
- Andrew Leahey
Guys, Wave users don't have the ability to send out invites. Only Google can invite people, at the moment. This is a developer beta, not a user beta ....

Sorry for the late response, but I've added the two of you who posted your Wave IDs here. Hopefully more of you will get your invites soon!

Finally got the itinerary for our trip fwd'd from Dave. We're arriving in DFW Thursday at 4:15pm CDT. Looks like we'll be in the same terminal, Glen, for about an hour (assuming our flight is on time and yours doesn't leave early). Let me know if you'd like that cup of coffee =) Any other FFers in the area want to be cool and hang at the airport?
btw, i probly won't be able to come around cos i'll have both of my girls to take care of and they're finishing up their afternoon naps about the time you arrive. perhaps next time?

I'm coming in to terminal B, but I'm pretty sure my outbound flight departs from A (American has four terminals at DFW). I'm guessing there's a Chili's, TGIFriday's, or Starbucks somewhere in the area. Sounds like it should be fun!

I have no idea what terminal we arrive at, but there's Starbucks and Dunkin' Doughnuts at both A and B terminals.

I haven't even started on invites, these are all just apps from when I first joined and didn't care if I clicked yes or no to an app invite. The things were everywhere, and you have to go into each one and remove it from your wall individually if you don't want to axe them completely. PITA...

So, I still don't get all the panic and confusion. I love FF as much as the rest, but I am not upset at yesterday's turn of events. I am almost upset at the rest of you. facebook changed their TOS a while back and the users created an outrage which made Zuckerberg turn tail and come up with a new strategy. Can't we do the same?
I'm not totally clear about this either, other than the idea that Facebook is inherently evil.
- Vaughn
Adam, the frustration is that so many users are here on FriendFeed specifically because they don't like the service that Facebook offers. That and FB's privacy settings and issues may or may not come into play on content (photos, videos) that we've already posted, which concerns some people.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
@adam, we can't and let name it "social media evolution" :)
- abdellah
I'm not fond of FB either, but how I see it, there's got to be some way to keep this group together and use our power of voice in the right direction, not at each other. And Brad, I've been here as long as anyone else.

Adam, I suppose one's reaction to the announcement correlates with that person's perception of whether FF is a 'service' or a 'community.'
