Yeah, I'd like it too. And to underscore the usefulness of such a feature I created this room with the deliberate intent of deleting it as soon as "delete room" becomes available. http://friendfeed.com/rooms...
- Dominic Jones
I would like this feature too... if only, to give a room a fresh (content) start...

I don't think I would enjoy diving in that collumn of water, There's nothing to see and the water is so warm you wouldn't want to use a dry suit.

Picasa needs an easy way to rescan for new pictures. It only notices new pics half the time, and the only process I can find to force it is incredibly painful. How about a menu or right-click option?
you can force picasa to scan selected folder

How do I force it kang? I try "add folder", but it already has the folder. Usually I can remove and then re-add (which is painful), but I tried that just now and it only succeeded on the "remove" part. It's sad that "preview" is so much more usable for browsing photos. I like Picasa in theory, but everytime I try to use it I run into these bugs. I was excited when they added the "upload to youtube" feature, but I've never successfully uploaded (and it doesn't bother to recompress, which would be very nice).
- Paul Buchheit
Restarting Picasa seemed to cause a scan. I also have to "force quit" it is osx, so I wonder if the scanner part is crashing?
- Paul Buchheit
I don't see any option to force sync, there is an option while adding the folder to scan always but that's buggy I feel.
- Riyaz Mohammed Ibrahim
Just trying to figure this out myself, and apparently if you switch from tree view to "flat" view and select a folder... off it goes... oh... but it didn't pick up the one directory I actually wanted rescanned. OK, so... it looks like you can right click and "refresh thumbnails"... let's give that a shot...
- Ken Sheppardson
It's mostly the actual command line (the fist posts went to a test account). There wasn't too much back and forth because osx numbers screen shots sequentially, so I knew what was coming next. Here's the code: http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2008...

Sips seems to be the only image scaling program installed by default on the macs (and imagemagick is kind of hard to find, when last I tried).

That ain't gonna work..they need to at least put the facebook url somewhere, Some hard copy post it notes for patrons to take home with them would probably be best

I agree with Bora; handwriting fonts aren't very well represented. There are a few at the bottom, but no Tekton, Zapf Chancery, or Comic Sans.

Does it bother anyone else that there seems to be no apparent logic into how the typefaces were placed into the 'periodic table'?
- Andrew C (✓)
What do you mean? All the typefaces in the first two columns save the last row are "Sans-serif Grotesque," followed by mixed serif/sans-serif, etc. I'm wondering how Garamond snuck its apparently identical twin sister "Garamond Classico" in there as a separate entry though.
- Jim Norris
OK, fair enough, the first two columns have some logical grouping, minus that last row. I still don't see the rhyme or reason in the other columns.
- Andrew C (✓)
Jim, I would expect mostly serif on one side and sans-serif on the other side, like how the periodic table of the elements has metals on one side and non-metals on the other side.
- Gabe
Also, there's an extra column on the right (wtf), the "atomic numbers" (rankings) aren't in order at all, the lanthanoids and actanoids are totally missing (except for the motley collection of handwriting fonts), and what's with those rounded corners? This is nothing like a chemical periodic table, it's just a bunch of fonts in boxes jammed into a very approximately periodic-table-shaped arrangement.
- ⓞnor
I'm eagerly awaiting your fixed version now =)
- Jim Norris
If I understand the description correctly, the table designer has averaged out several typeface rankings, then used the rank as the "atomic number", completely ignoring that real atomic numbers follow a pattern.

"In the last couple of years, “feeds” — reverse-chronological lists of messages, links to web pages, and other information — have become central to the most cutting-edge web services, like Facebook and Twitter. But how will feeds evolve in the future? I’ll be moderating a panel tomorrow (Saturday afternoon) at South By Southwest in Austin, trying to answer that question. It’s titled: “Feed Me: Bite Size Info for a Hungry Internet,” and it will start at 3:30 central time."

The future of feeds? Everything will be feeds, and the smartest feed manager will rule.
- Sean McBride
Agree with Sean, the future of feeds will be feeds smartly read by smart bots who'll give us only the vitamins (and other biological stuff that are good for people, you know, proteins... that stuff) these smart bots will feed us on a very personal basis! You created the feeds? I'm lazy, I need a smart and gorgeous nurse :)
