And what a fine one it is! Congrats
- Michael Fidler
it'd definitely going to take me a while to get to a million. I'm publishing about 200 photos to flickr a week right now and at this pace it will take 92 years to get there. I'll get the pace up to 400-500 a week in the future though. Better technology should make processing easier and someday my kids will be grown and I'll be able to quit my day job and focus on this even more. The best photos have yet to be taken.
- Thomas Hawk
When I think about this I realize your best days are ahead of you.
- Russellreno
That is a great photo
- Darin aka iGoByDoc
What's your shot/publish ratio? I mean, on average how many shots do you take to produce those you publish?
- Yuval Atzmon
atzmon, I probably average about 2,000 shots a week that I shoot. And I'm probably processing 300 or so of those a week at present, so I'm probably keeping about 15%. The other 85% never get processed and are kept in my archives. I'm trying only to process and publish the shots that I think meet a certain quality criteria.
- Thomas Hawk
Wow and Congrats!!
- Vox
Dude, you're a machine.
- Zee.
Jauder, the good news is that processing will only get easier in the future. I've watched it get better with each successive Adobe release. Lightroom 2.0 is the best processing tool yet. It's not necessarily faster per se though because with more tools there are yet even more ways to tweak a photo hence even more time. But the tools to speed things up are coming too. auto geotagging, better anti dust tech, faster processing speeds, easier online tools with faster broadband are all around the corner.

16,000 ?? Yikes. Cool number. Congrats.

Ace, I hope not, I'd be so pissed. Actually I think alot of what gets me so upset about all the content/account deletion issues is that I really do worry that it actually will happen to me. Flickr staff hates me and they'd *love* to delete my account. I worry that I'll wake up one morning and everything will have been nuked. I suppose that's why I'd like to see them enact the ability to...

We added a 1-click login for Twitter users, so now it's easy for all your friends to try http://friendfeed.com
Liz, hIpPy, Adam and 418 other people liked this
To RT, click http://twitter.com/home... It uses OAuth, so no password is required, and it automatically finds your Twitter friends on FriendFeed! It also imports your profile and picture. Big thanks to http://friendfeed.com/bgolub for making all this happen! (also, existing users can go to http://friendfeed.com/friends... to find Twitter, Facebook, and Gmail friends)
- Paul Buchheit
fan bloody tastic! So we can post here and Twitterers can comment away without any complaints! The only think you need to try and do is bring in comments (about a share) from twitter into here! :)

- Dan Hsiao
OK, I admit I'm dense. As an existing user will this help me find the folks I follow on Twitter?
- Laura Norvig
Cool, is it possible we could have the ability to bulk import or non-FF Twitter friends as private feeds so we can track them in FF? :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Laura, existing FriendFeed users should just go to http://friendfeed.com/friends... and click on the Twittter (and Facebook and Google) icons to find their friends. Kol, not yet, but I'm hoping to add something like that soon (improved imaginary friends).
- Paul Buchheit
Thx, Paul - guess I haven't been to that page since the launch. btw, I'm definitely coming around to the new friendfeed (colors notwithstanding).

That's a great tool, Paul! Found a few from Twitter and Facebook I didn't realise were on FF...:)
- WorldofHiglet
Oh man, that is suh-weet. Works really well.
- Laura Norvig
Paul, that would be wonderful, thank you. I'm keen to use FF as a kinda Twitter client. I'd love the ability to import my group I've created on Tweetvisor too but that would additionally require exporting facilities from Tweetvisor, and from asking them they've told me it's low priority (which is fair enough).
- Kol Tregaskes
That's fantastic! Sharing with all of my not-yet-friendfeedified twitter friends. Thanks, Paul!
- Eric Johnson
This IS good. Thanks for the hard work, Benjamin Golub.
- Micah Wittman
Love that you guys are making the entry more enticing. What about refining what FriendFeed is further? Like: Twitter + conversation. For new people who don't get it and most without the time to get it, simplifying the message or experimenting further with your "first impression" on your splash page might be worth a try. Example: wouldn't it be cool to have a live conversation streaming to show just how FF has a leg up on the scattered Twitter stream?

- Neill Adamson
Paul, is there a way to sync it so that people I no longer follow on Twitter are unfollowed on FriendFeed?
- Jorge Escobar
Great news on the advanced imaginary friends. That plus the ability to comment back to Facebook posts as easily as we reply to Twitter would be killer.

@Robert cannot seem to do that with groups. What I want to do: Concentrate different RSS feeds (e.g. newswires) which do not necessarily have an account in any other social network into one imaginary friend's collection of feeds.
- Mark Jacobs
Mark, "groups" (formerly "rooms") are able to import feeds just like regular users (and imaginary friends). See https://friendfeed.com/xoogle-... for example (imports the blogs of all known xoogle startups). The only thing special about imaginary friends is that they don't have usernames (or rather we assign a random 128 bit username).
- Paul Buchheit
Paul, the DM option on imaginary friends should perhaps be removed. Also, imaginary friends do not show up on the search dropdown list when you type in their name in the search box.
- Kol Tregaskes
Paul, is it possible to automatically create "imaginary friends" from twitter following list? What I would like is to read all my Twitter in FriendFeed; many of twitterers though are not on FF, so I have to create them by hand which is tedious. Also, it would be nice to allow to add them to some special list.
- Ihar Mahaniok
Ihar, see my comment up in the middle and Paul's reply. Looks like FF are working on it. :-)

Still would like an imaginary friend than making bunch of Groups to simulate peoples that doesn’t use FF. BTW, unlike the Facebook Connect login, when I tried logging in using Twitter, it made a new account for me on FF instead of opening my own (which also has Twitter activity added).

Contrary view: I see her sarcastic remark as a response to the effort on the part of the Democrats to prevent use of ID's at polling stations. Since the voter would have to verbally give the name to the poll worker, confusion about spelling and delays will be the likely result. Be required to show an ID to vote, and the problem can be minimized. I struggle to understand how so many can support ID'less voting. Now if we can just get ID'less flying and drinking, we'll be set.
- Robert Kenney
Many people think that my last name is the correct spelling for the bird, when in fact there is no "d" the spelling of the bird. Also many people will purposely mispronounce my name for fear of offending me. Personally, I usaully just ask for the correct pronounciation if I'm not sure. No one has ever gotten mad as result.

Tumblr's an interesting platform. I opened an account in September, did a test post and promptly forgot about it until this weekend when I clicked on a link of Fred Wilson's in FF and decided to give it a try. It looks a great way of posting ad hoc notes or pics via an iPhone app to the Tumblog.

it's real Paul, I just drove down a side street in Princeton, NJ and counted 7 M/P signs and 2 O/B. In a college town, in a deep blue state. Sry Paul, I read to quickly. I recently saw some bumper stickers that said "free our oil" that weren't a joke.
- Sarah Miller
Disgusting.
- Mo Kargas
omfg what is wrong with these oilers
- Kyle Weller
"More War for Oil" -- it sounds very much like the sentiment of a Free Republic denizen or Michael Savage fan -- defiantly fascist and in your face, and dead serious. Most "conservatives" these days are completely humorless and fanatically anti-conservative. (I've heard neoconservative McCain supporters call for first-strike nuclear attacks on Muslim and Arab nations.)
- Sean McBride
The neoconservative (anti-conservative) cult which produced Ann Coulter, Free Republic, Michael Savage, Michelle Malkin, Pat Robertson, John Hagee and Pamela Geller would easily embrace bumper stickers which read "More War for Oil." It sounds very Ann Coulterish. Visit the Media Matters for America website http://mediamatters.org/ for an analysis of many examples of neocon extremist speech and hate speech. Many of these people are agitating furiously to expand the Iraq War to Iran.
- Sean McBride
Ann Coulter: "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." Think she's kidding? Does the Iraq War look like a joke? It's difficult for sane people to understand that neoconservatives are NOT kidding when they make insane statements. They're insane. Irony is a blue state thing, a coastal elites thing. The red state mentality never rises above heavy sarcasm.
- Sean McBride
Btw, Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins still doesn't understand the radical distinction between conservatives and neoconservatives. Hopkins is no conservative.
- Sean McBride
Seems to echo his promise of war for a hundred years... securing all that oil!
- Samuel Buick
Chris White - you're making the assumption that Prius owners can't be John McCain supporters. Not true. McCain has a record of aggressive pro-environmentalism. I suppose we could contact the owner of the car via the DMV to discover the true intent behind the stickers. :)

You know you’re smarter than he is, and he’s doing these things, you know, and he’s getting rich, and your spouse is getting unhappy with you because you aren’t doing — pretty soon you start doing it.

I have no problems with eating meat, I just draw the line at meat from animals that reach a certain level of consciousness. Everything else is fair game - and to any veggies that try to "make me see the error of my ways", may I point out the ultimate irony of life is that for it to continue, another must die. And that we are discovering plants to be FAR more alive than we ever gave them credit, just do some research into plant neurobiology and social studies and you'll realise they're on a par with animals.
- alphaxion
There's one tribe in Alaska or Canada that has a big ceremony, then they row out in their boat to find a whale, and when they're ready for the kill, they don't pull out a spear but grab a .50 caliber rifle and shoot it. Guess it isn't all that authentic...

Or can I show other teachers how this might be a great learning tool for students?

For this kind of passive consumption of your friends' content, I think SocialThing is the better service. It automatically collects your pals' latest updates without having to recreate each person's individual feeds as an "imaginary friend." SocialThing addresses the hard truth: your friends aren't on FriendFeed.

@mrshl Given my circle of friends, most of them are on friendfeed. YMMV
- EricaJoy
now likely they will run it over and run it, but in keeping hope alive Erica I frankly open that there is an opening up of FF. As a non-tech person it can be a challenge to find discussions NOT RELATED to tech. Part of the reasons i post the things I do from my FF is in hopes of drawing others out to talk about something aside from the fact twitter is down or what I like to call "the meat which shall not be named". speaking of that: it is a BAD example of non-tech talk...LOL.

SocialThing is pretty cool too -- it really speaks to a totally different need. Incidentally, I've never seen a single Polyvore link on here. Does anyone actually use it?

@erica definitely agree. i have a few pals on friendfeed, as well. but most of my friends are relative non-techies who nevertheless use flickr and facebook, or even twitter and del.icio.us. they tend to post about their lives, not social media tools. as much as i dig FF, socialthing lets me keep up with the lion's share of my pals.

FriendFeed + cooliris ( http://cooliris.com/site... )is a pretty nifty combo, altho i wish there was a way to turn cooliris on for friendfeed only.

@Allan. Glad to hear you're enjoying Previews. Have you checked out PicLens by Cooliris? We do not currently have the option to turn Previews on for only friendfeed, but it's a great idea. I'll pass it on!
