"I am far more focused on enterprise-scale, ROI-driven technology solutions. These are the kinds of companies/products that will thrive in any environment, even when budgets are tight. And in a poor economy, companies really need to find better, cheaper, and more efficient ways of operating." - Aditya Kothadiya via Bookmarklet

"I would tell (entrepreneurs) to keep their day job until they got one year of funding, and if they couldn’t get that, then they’re not meant to start that company right now…. My advice to (start ups that don’t have a year’s worth of money in the bank) would be to raise money by reducing your own spending. If you can’t raise more money, you have to cut costs. And that’s what I’m harping on to my companies." - Aditya Kothadiya via Bookmarklet

you spend the cash if you can afford it to get solid people.There's a huge demand for good people, always. So whatever it takes to get them on board! - Ashwin Bharambe
great to learn your opinions! but is it like these potential employees demand such MacBook pros? and also, do they change their mind based on if you are providing them MacBook or something else? I personally love and will always use MacBook pro, but I wonder if that will change my decision to join a startup, if I'm already thinking of joining it. - Aditya Kothadiya

"The fact that there are plenty of short term thinkers just throwing stuff quickly at the wall isn't necessarily bad for innovation -- it just means that innovation is taking a slightly different path. There are plenty of folks in Silicon Valley still thinking about the long haul, and looking at the trends and understanding them." - Aditya Kothadiya via Bookmarklet

Wow! Neat. - Atul Arora
It's very nice! All the superlatives have already been used :) - Rebkin

A link to cancel a comment with no hack! YAY!!!! - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Mona, poster names are still links they're just styled differently so they don't look like the other links. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
beta.friendfeed is my new friend !! lots of new stuff to play with.. 8-10hrs lag with list data ..but a very very powerful feature. !! Way to GO TEAM FF !! - Peter Dawson

LOVE IT! - Kyle Lacy
Why not position:fixed the right nav? Like this: http://limpid.nl/lab/css/fixed... - Michael Leggett
The share button no longer appears in my feed. This is counterintuitive. Otherwise, it's been a great experience so far. - Michael Nielsen
Where's the "me" tab? Everything else I LOVE! - Jennifer Van Grove
Michael: if you're viewing your feed from the main address, there is a 'sharing' box up at the top, and the options (comment, photo, link) appear once you begin typing. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
click on your name Jennifer, above right - Tibor Holoda
@Jennifer "My Feed" in the sidebar replaces the "me" tab. And like Tibor said, your name works too. - Dan Hsiao
you launch this right after takeoff from scoble to berlin - coinkydink? :) - Allen Stern
@Stupid Blogger: Thanks, I'd figured that out, was just pointing out what seems like a bug in the current UI. - Michael Nielsen
Looks nice on first glance, and it seems easier now to reach rooms. The friend lists should be a great way to organize my imaginary friends which are basically topic subscriptions. The "Add/ Remove friends" link is confusing at first because when you don't have any friends in the list yet, clicking it will result in nothing (making you wonder if it's broken). The message sharing post form is also confusing because you don't quite know what to enter into it; a link, or a message, or...? The fact that it says "Share a link, message, or photos" doesn't really help. Also wasn't sure how to remove a friend from the home feed after moving them to a special list feed. Took me some seconds to find the Delete List icon, because I was looking near the "Add/ remove friends" link navigation. Wasn't sure if I like you created so many default friend lists for me (personal, favorites, professional), though I guess it may be useful to get the point across. I think I'm liking how names aren't underlined, though not so sure a - Philipp Lenssen
Try Friend recommendations. - Chris Baskind
I love the new info bubble. Super better than the old one :) - AJ Batac ♘
Looks like the logo now clicks to the Friends view, as you'd expect. Same as You + Friends. - Chris Baskind
can't seem to access the beta site: Service Unavailable We encountered an error on your last request. Our service is new, and we are just working out the kinks. We apologize for the inconvenience. - Thomas Hawk
Awesomeness, very useful, and solves the biggest problem of noise reduction! great! - Aditya Kothadiya
awesome! Working now. Anyone know if there is a pagerization greasemonkey script yet for the beta site? - Thomas Hawk
One word: wonderful. - Brandon Titus
thanks for the iteration.. it's a great step forward - Travis Parsons
like the new functions, but not the new layout, it just doesn't look like friendfeed and a bit feel like google groups (caused by the side bar maybe). miss the old layout... - Baron Mok
It is kind of cool! - Steve
great design!! - ricardo valle
on minor thing: on the main page, Post button and "Show best of: day - week" overlaps if you narrow the browser window. - Dennis Seah
Fantastic! - Mo J.
We need a "remove from home feed" button under the friends settings. Or there must be an option that we can choose the list which shows on main page. For example, i want to see only "Professional" friends' feeds on the main page. - Selim Yoruk
Cool new FF! - Igor Poltavskiy
Time stamps for comments? :( - Marcos Messer
Threaded comments??? - Jigar Mehta
So many small details and improvements, make SO much difference. - Martin Añazco
At last, I will be able to add to my feed all the people who subscribe to me, and it won't impact on my main source of infobrainment. It looks nice, too. Looks like you guys have pulled another one out of the bag. +1 - Slippy Lane
looking good friendfeed crew! - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Funny that they turned it on when I was flying to Europe. Looks awesome! - Robert Scoble
that is so frickin' sweet! - Jeremiah Palmer
I'm truly amazed at how good the UI is. The subtle touches like the use of blue links in just the right places or the contextual help like "How does hiding work?". Really great job. I think mioNews just became a little less useful to me, since FF now natively has friend groups. Oh well :P - Patrick Lightbody
please have an option to set font size! - h1ro
It has a great feature in allowing me to separate different people into different lists - that will be worth the whole interface change in itself. I hope that rooms also have embeddable feeds tho! - Justin Long
FF is in a frenzy. This is 16 hrs old and 3rd on my Best of the Week. Congratulations Bret and team. - Russellreno
@Marcos: you can hover your mouse over the comment bubble in front of a comment to get its timestamp. - Dan Hsiao
nice design, keep on! - Alexander Oelling
I just can't imagine investing the time to categorize folks that is why I have not switched to beta yet. - Ruth Ferguson

"People associate the number nine with value and zero with quality. Look at the difference between fast food and a gourmet restaurant. A burger meal can sell for about $4.99 while a gourmet entree at the best place in town may go for $30. So the psychology of pricing isn’t so much about gaining additional sales because the price appears to be lower, it’s about what the price communicates about your offering. So which do you want to communicate? Value or Quality? Now you can price accordingly." - Aditya Kothadiya via Bookmarklet

"Sam Altman has it. You could parachute him into an island full of cannibals and come back in 5 years and he'd be the king. If you're Sam Altman, you don't have to be profitable to convey to investors that you'll succeed with or without them. (He wasn't, and he did.) Not everyone has Sam's deal-making ability.
