Where did the skin rub off? The classics are pretty bad in the heel area. I know a couple people who got the Sprints and didn't have any troubles with them.

Yeah, I think that attachment is the "signature" that my fb iPhone insists on including. Need to make ff block that.

I haven't seen anybody with the black ones yet. They look really good though.
- Daniel Zarick
Is it considered bad form to wear these as regular shoes, like around the office?
- Andy Bakun
It's generally considered bad form to be comfortable in an office (especially if you're female), so if these shoes are normally comfortable, I'd say so.
- a runcible MiniMage
i have a pair of KSO's and was expecting blisters but have gotten absolutely none. im super happy with mine. Paul, how sore are your calves? I had the deepest burn for a few days after i started.
- Kevin Pruett
I'm not so sure my office has that issue, Minimage.

I'm considering getting those - I had to give up on the barefoot treadmill running.

Does your office need a technician who attacks computer problems viciously and tenaciously, Andy? j/k
- a runcible MiniMage
Kevin, my feet and legs (other than the skin) feel fine, though we'll see how things are tomorrow. I ordinarily wear flip flops and also spent a little time thinking about how to run barefoot, so I was at least a little prepared. I'm not much of a runner, but it felt easier than it normally is.
- Paul Buchheit
Hmmm - I wonder if they sell those at BackCountry.com - need to go look (I used to work there)

Paul, is this inspired by that MacDougall book Born to Run ?

Oh cool, I've been meaning to get a copy. I got an AudioBook but audio just doesn't do it for me.

Is that red on the heel blood? Yikes.
- Benjamin Golub
How do they run? I like the idea, but I'm afraid they'll be uncomfortable/annoying.
- Nate Pilling
Yeah, the red is blood. It's not that bad though. The blisters on the pads of my feed are more annoying. I shall have to try wearing socks next time :)
- Paul Buchheit
If you're chafing on the heels, and they're not too big, then the prescribed answer is special 5 finger socks. My brother called them and that was what they told him anyway.
- Piaw Na
Piaw, I think they are too big. The "right" size felt a little more snug than I like, so I went one size larger, which may have been a mistake. I did buy the toe socks, but just didn't wear them.
- Paul Buchheit
Sorry about your feet! I've never seen these before. They look they would be excellent for Martial Arts as well. Are your toes still as flexible in them?

My FiveFingers get me lots of comments when I wear them around (airports, conferences, etc.). Muy comfortable.

Oh, great. More plaster casts from Bigfoot "researchers".

Ooh. I have never seen these before. Do they make you run faster / better?

Paul: Even though my brother and I got the right size, we still are forced to wear the socks for extended walking or hiking.
- Piaw Na
They make more sense than the women's shoes with the ridiculous five inch-long pointy toes.
- a runcible MiniMage
Atleast the label says they're machine washable. :)
- Ray Cromwell
Winston: the FiveFingers lessen the barrier between the ground and your foot, which allows your body to naturally compensate for variations in terrain. Some claim this is healthier and will improve long-term running healthy. Read the book 'Born to Run' for a great story and some provocative science.
- Jason Miller
I bought a pair of the sprints a few weeks ago and had a similar problem, no blood though. I took them back right away and bought the KSOs in a size smaller. For some reason in the women's version, the KSOs run a half size big, might be worth checking it out in the men's if you're concerned about sizing. Also, watch out...I loved running in these so much I doubled my routine and out of...

I bought vibrams a week ago: ran a few miles, went to the gym and wore them all the day; feeling very comfortable, no blood or blisters reported so far (as a disclaimer I usually wander barefoot at home and I am kind of a regular runner). Great also for exercising at the gym as I felt more grounded; on the other hand they are not very suited for driving, too much grip.

Mike and how are you so sure that other people don't know who you are talking about? There's a person here on FriendFeed who complains about their coworker. Even though I live in a different city, I know that coworker.

Well that was a bit dumb. The thing about social media is it's just so much a part of our lives. We are encouraged to pour our views and feelings into it but we have to remember who is going to be reading it. In the end we have to censor ourselves so as a result our lifestream is a watered down stream. There are no directors cuts.

"This is morning in America in the Internet age. After six to eight hours of network deprivation — also known as sleep — people are increasingly waking up and lunging for cellphones and laptops, sometimes even before swinging their legs to the floor and tending to more biologically urgent activities. “It used to be you woke up, went to the bathroom, maybe brushed your teeth and picked up the newspaper,” said Naomi S. Baron, a professor of linguistics at American University, who has written about technology’s push into everyday life. “But what we do first now has changed dramatically.

Ditto Travis. My iPhone is my alarm, and I immediately hit email and FriendFeed before even getting up.

I'm pretty guilty of this. I had to cut FriendFeed out of my morning check because it was making me late to class, so just email and Twitter. While this might not be the best behavior, it is sometimes necessary, I can't tell you how many times I'd wake up, check the email, and find out my first class of the day was canceled. Many of us are doing this because it is required.

Thomas, I'd love to, but the problem is many of the people I work with are on Twitter only and have no interest in joining FriendFeed, no matter how much I try.

Calling FriendFeed a twitter client is a bit inaccurate. It can post to twitter and you can read people's toots and reply, but you can't do many of the things that an actual Twitter client (star messages, send and receive DMs, follow/unfollow easily, etc.) I'm not complaining because I don't want FriendFeed to be a full-blown Twitter client- just saying :)

In all fairness FriendFeed has made it as simple as pie for people on Twitter to easily sign in/up with Twitter OAUTH. I just think my Twitter network are brave enough to make new friends :-P

This is very interesting that it is impacting more than one social network ... can't even speculate what the cause is yet. Not getting much work done today I'm afraid, going to be following these conversations..

I haven't been on twitter for days. I guess I picked the wrong morning to jump back in.

Tweeple will come to FriendFeed!

That's why I joined FF a while back. Then I found all the useful features- and the bonus is having Scoble here to show the way.
- Brenda Young
No, the smart ones are ALREADY on FriendFeed :)

- Tad Chef
This actually made me laugh out loud, because I was thinking the same thing!
- Dan
Could this mean that CNBC was right??? Nooooooooooo!
- travispuk
I was planning to unfollow a bunch of followers due to Twitter's follow limit rule kicking in at the ~#2000 user level. I have to wait with that then... ;)
- Martin Lindeskog
FF FTW
- Eran Even-Kesef
Let's see how well Friendfeed handles this Twitter outage :)

Re previous comment of mine, 'Nooooooo!' was for CNBC being right, not that twitter is dead. ;)

Twitter outage is causing issues with both facebook and friendfeed. I guess we know where everyone is going instead of twitter.

Twitter being down is a a relief to me this morning! Now I can stay OFF it rather than fitting it into every 30 second change of task! n

FriendFeed traffic is rocking now...

social media "experts" might need to actually find other work to do.

twits will move, but only until twitter is back online, then there will be a mass exodus. Remember during all of the 2007/2008 fail whales users still flocked back to it regardless.

I think this is bigger than Twitter and FB... I think it's some interweb routes or something. I had a VoIP call going with a party local to me and two across the country and I lost the two across the country, but maintained the local party. And others are commenting on other sites showing signs of outages.

What will the blackhat SEO experts, the SM spammers, and the social media experts do during a widespread outage? The answer is obvious: While sitting out the crisis they're fine-tuning their methodology. Seriously, your question offends me. There's a gazillion of SEO experts out there who do not abuse social media.
- Sebastian
Sebastian there can't be a gazillion SEO experts! What's 10,000 keywords times 20?? (and that's being generous!)
- Arleen Boyd
Would a social media expert consider it to be a crisis? If they rely so heavily on just one or two tools that it's enough to throw them into a tizzy, their expert status would seem to me to be ... questionable, at best.
- Gord McLeod
Agreed.
- Greg
Arleen, 10,000 keyword phrases times 20 is a tiny fraction of the search terms that are worth optimizing for. Think of the long tail. Also, consider lots of webmasters and even publishers / site owners / bloggers / Web developers ... SEO experts who are able to optimize their stuff quite successfully but don't sell or publish their expertise. Many of them, and even many SEO consultants, do make sensible use of social media, as plain users.
- Sebastian
Gord, in a social media spammer's book 2 hours of outage, IOW 2 hours w/o sales from sneakily distributed links to questionable sales pitches, can sum up to way more than a good day's beer money. ;) However, "crisis" might be a term too strong for this potential loss.

- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Robert, admit it, you broke Twitter by massively unfollowing people. The DDoS attack reports have just been a ruse to cover up the fact that you were the backbone of Twitter all this time.
- Louis Trapani
Louis: that is true. I pissed the bots off.
- Robert Scoble

Keep running into the wall a few times then find alternate outlets such as ff, linkedIn, etc...

- Geer
Ha! The whole Facebook Twitter slowdown may have been just people clicking on spam (not a DDoS botnet). How funny! Manual DDoS. See Bill Woodcock's theory at CNet, AP, SF Gate, and The Register http://ff.im/6gLmO
- Mitchell Tsai
There you go again implying the only ones that use twitter is SEO experts, the celebrities, the spammers, the bots, and the social media experts - This is definitely SPIN. Perhaps you should join CNN also LOL
