Friendfeed needs to time-stamp the comments.

Yeah, that is something that I have been thinking about.
- Kevin Bondelli
Less thinking more action ;)
- Alberto Reyes
A tooltip maybe on hover over the quote graphic. Keep it clean
- Andrew Smith
Optional feature - timestamp - not default.
- Susan Beebe
great idea!
- Sarah Perez
it must be part of the API, since fftogo seems to include a time stamp on the comments
- Trent Olson
I'm sure they do store the timestamp, even if it isn't currently displayed.
- Mack D. Male
Yeah, it's in the api, all comments & likes are timestamped
- Glenn Slaven
I think this is a perfect plan. The only issue I might have is that the time information might take-over the conversations. It might just look more cluttered than FF already is.
- Ryne Nelson
It would be useful sometimes.
- Morton Fox
concur, very useful to have. Make it a display option. Those who would think it's clutter can turn it off then.
- Alexander Falk
It is in the API (I use them in fftogo). I vote that the timestamp should appear as text when you hover over the "thought bubble" to the left.
- Benjamin Golub
All comments are time-stamped in AlrertThingy and feedalizr
- Stephen B
from Alert Thingy
Comments are time stamped in bTT as well.
- Francois Bochatay
from bTT
and also in twhirl
- Marco Kaiser
from twhirl
agreed. Timestamps are important
- Peter Dawson
What about a comment alert?! How do you follow conversations on ff!?
- TommaSorchiotti
Not sure if this will add to the functionality, but should be something they can try out...
- Dennis Goedegebuure
Not sure a comment alert is necessary. Comments bring the post up to the top of the timeline, which makes it available for anyone who is currently paying attention to Friendfeed. (Not sure why anyone would want their attention brought to Friendfeed if it isn't already there, that would be a huge productivity drain).
- Jason Wehmhoener
Please, please remember that the whole world doesn't run on PDT. I don't want to see timestamps in my FF in gReader and have to always try to guess whether the west coast is 17, 16, or 15 hours behind. If you must display timestamps, please put them in GMT. Setting the timestamps on my FF page/in my FF feed to be correct in my local timezone would be even nicer.
- James Polley
yeah ! and a hide fonction for each comment
- Jonathan
منم به فارسی تایید می کنم
- Kamal
we know which came first... but in n argument the comments can edit. that makes time stamping very important so we know when someone made a change
- Noah David Simon
a timeline function in general would be nice, make everything more timeframe friendly
- Ruben Llibre
Show times either in GMT or in my own timezone, and just make it a tooltip for the quote balloon or something. Don't want it to look cluttered.
- Pat Hawks
just make the time relative from each comment, so I know who said what when in perspective. like 5 minutes later Noah David Simon said. <--this opens up
- Noah David Simon
like i said earlier about plurk :)
- kosmar
Is i really important to know when every single comment is made? Only the last one would really be useful, could have 'last comment on june 1 at..." right beside the date of the post.
- John Duff
If the timestamp is a tooltip, then it isn't really "in the way." Maybe we can have all the timestamps as tooltips, except the most recent comment will have the timestamp printed out below it, like John said.

- Mike Fruchter

- Amiroo ™
<--- try hover your mouse cursor on that little dialog icon
- topo
Sorry it's not more obvious, but if you hover your mouse over the comment icon you will see the time that the comment was made. Thanks for letting us know that it's hard to find! The feedback is much appreciated.
- Ross Miller
I believe they are timestamped but this data is not yet displayed.... you're right !
- David Berrebi
other than timestamp I also want to be able to like the comments individually =]

I just went through the process of adding friendfeed to my own site (holgr.com) last week and also found your site. It's a good starting point! Unfortunately the "default" options are pretty scarce and not really flexible. Fortunately - however - the API is so simple that you can create a nice embed yourself using the documentation.

I very seriously doubt these would be active or real accounts. Plenty of dead ones or ones used for spamming.

I agreed with you (and Duncan) about embrace or miss out. But when it comes to non-tech, non early adopter blogs I'm not sure I buy into Twitter/FriendFeed as hugely meaningful things to embrace, at least right now. Thoughts?

Robert - Just my two cents. It's the dialog. It's connecting people and solving problems or just discussing 'the state of affairs'. Best I've seen yet in a variety of ways ... not to mention the fact that I reconnected with YOU after 13 years or so right here and was happy I did. Lots of positives. Light years from Seidman's Insider on ListServ but that's a fond memory.
- Charlie Anzman
I had a website even in 1994. But people on 2400bps (even on 14.4) modems preferred e-mail and USENET. It's certainly light years from then, but I don't see how FriendFeed is necessary to embrace (right now) for a blog about TV metrics. P.S. e-mail is still very popular. For the RSS feed for that site over 50% of the subscriptions are e-mail.

I think the fact of a giant metal bird flying over would have traumatised them enough already. Civilisation has a pretty good abiility to destroy native cultures, even when it's not trying to. The whole area should, in my opinion be turned into a no-fly zone.

For you west coasters: it's not New York City or NYC or the Big Apple or any other literary flourish you want to use: it's either "the City" or the specific boro (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, the Bronx).
- Mark Trapp
Is SFO acceptable?
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
The airport is several miles south of the city proper...kinda like the New York Giants or the Los Angeles Angels.
- Ontario Emperor
from fftogo
Mark - Thanks for the info on your 'the city'. I will cease use of NYC immediately.
- Jason Shellen
Glad to be of service :-) Bonus points if you refer to the actual neighborhood (Tribeca, SoHo, Midtown, Alphabet City, Astoria, Flatbush, Washington Heights, etc.)

Last time I visited New York, I learned how to pronounce "Houston" correctly.

Actually, on second thought, them using Tumblr is totally fitting. Tumblr's platform is perfect for such a use.
