@MarinaMartin Something like this? http://tr.im/rOVZ [from http://twitter.com/bobthec...] - Justin Hileman
I dig my M.U.L.E. I've had it for like 6 years, and I've definitely been glad to have it. - Alex Esplin

No, @technosailor that's not why you were a jerk. You were a jerk because you deleted everyone's comments when you left and:
Because you didn't just leave quietly, you needed to make sure that everyone who was on FriendFeed understood that you were leaving because we were losers. So I lashed back. - Robert Scoble
Lots of people call FriendFeed names. That's nothing new and I didn't key in on any of them. Just search Twitter for hundreds of examples. - Robert Scoble
But when you delete my work when you leave, then you are a jerk. And when you deride my community as lame as you leave, then you are a jerk. - Robert Scoble
Technosailor wrote that the content was his to delete. No, my comments are NOT his to delete. At least not without being a jerk. - Robert Scoble
http://twitter.com/technos... to see his side of it. - Robert Scoble
blah. who cares? - Paul Whitaker
I think it illustrates the point of realtime perfectly. - Marlin Forbes
Probably shouldn't have this discussion where the other party can't have a say. - Andru Edwards
Robert stop wasting your time on a low life like him. You have better things to do. - Matt Ruiz
Paul: if you don't care, why did you comment? :-) - Robert Scoble
Matt: agreed. - Robert Scoble
Bum deal on the video feed, scoble. - Marlin Forbes
Andru: he's having his say. I even linked to it. - Robert Scoble
Marlin: yeah, oh well. It was going to be lame probably anyway. - Robert Scoble
Matt: do you have your pitchfork? - Robert Scoble
Grab the torches and pitchforks! - Raymond Mendoza
I wasn't the one who started calling names here. - Robert Scoble
Nah, save them for when Arrington is back. - Robert Scoble
It's exactly this sort of thing that starts mobs. People want to have their name up on the page. - Marlin Forbes
lol @ "when Arrington is back" - Raymond Mendoza
I've got my torch and pitchfork! :D - mandi
Kindergarten2.0 in real-time - HansVanRock
Hans: lol - Marlin Forbes
Hans: It's High School 2.0, I haven't called anyone a stinky-poopyhead, yet. - Raymond Mendoza
Hans: keep your hands off of my toys. :-) - Robert Scoble
No, it's real-time Kindergarten, stinky-poopyhead! << for Raymond - Nick Wade
I never knew of that other guy until this thread. Wonder if his twitter follower numbers went up after this? - Jim Connolly
And my line has been stolen... I know I should have copyright'd it. - Raymond Mendoza
Well, I'm outta here. Jim: yes, they went up. Why? Bots and spammers. Everyone's numbers are going up. - Robert Scoble
It's been fun - catch you around Mr Scoble ;-) - Jim Connolly
Actually, we need College Humour to do a FriendFeed spoof - Marlin Forbes
shudder - Marlin Forbes
Nice mob you got here, Robert ;) - Sean E Brown
If you missed the original announcement/comment thread in question and know English or Greek, you can judge for yourself how it went down (see attached PDF here: http://friendfeed.com/micahwi... ) - Micah
I'm taking my ball and going home... - Alex Esplin
Robert. Cambridge needs you. Great that you are here again. Enjoy. - Philip Baddeley from iPhone
Well Robert, I guess you should get FriendFeed to do what Twitter did and make all of your comments belong to you rather than the person who's post you commented on. - ChiliMac
Jim: No doubt the followers went up...SPAM! @technosailor, @technosailor, @technosailor... - Austin Smith
And @Scobleizer...life's too short...my vote is that once content is either posted or commented, it becomes public domain, much like, you know, EVERYTHING ELSE on the internet! Wat u guys think? - Austin Smith
No "EVERYTHING ELSE" is not assumed to be in the Public Domain just because it "ends up" on the internet. If that were true then there would be ZERO lawsuits regarding copyright infringement over things "ALL OVER THE INTERNET". ((c))2009+ by "ME" - CLC Radio
So, like Yo @everybodyontwitter get that? - CLC Radio
I don't want to comment on this just to get my name on the page. That would be childish. - Mark Drapeau
Can I be in the mob too please? Is it too late? I want to be in the mob!! Hello!! - Dave Winer
This seems to be a community policy/software issue. Most communities don't allow folks to delete comments and posts because it leaves a hole/gap in the conversations. The profile is marked inactive when someone leaves the community - either leaving the user name intact or replacing it with a more generic one. The right to delete a user account should be a personal one, with no... more... - Pat Graham Block

The Iranians here, http://friendfeed.com/milad , say that Twitter is now blocked and they are using proxy servers to go around.
I see my friends from Iran here asking for proxy and anti filter everyday! - Shandiz
they know lots of way to reach twitter :D one use twitt2d.com for instance - شیدا
and I should add that I amazed how they don't give up on social networks :) - Shandiz
they are about to isolate us. - MeŤi
Sorry, I didn't know Milad's friendfeed is private. - Robert Scoble
if twitter could make money from its royal iranian users, founders of twitter were the richest ones now - شیدا
This shows the problems of centralized infrastructures like Twitter, Facebook, etc. We need decentralized services, P2P … - Andreas
It's interesting that so many people have let me see their feeds that I get to see things that are supposed to be private. - Robert Scoble
Andreas: that wouldn't help. Governments figure out how to censor a lot of those things too. - Robert Scoble
The internet has finally reached critical enough mass that it can't be shut down unless they pull the plug on the whole country. Anyone think that they will go with the internet nuclear option and disconnect the country? - Luke Kilpatrick
facebook , twitter , delicious , friendfeed has been blocked in Iran since the day before election - MeŤi
Andreas: we just need fewer governments who see open flows of information as a threat. - Robert Scoble
so many people in iran is afriad to leave their feed public and let everyone know what they are thinking of, especially the special ones - شیدا
Yeah, I knew FriendFeed was blocked but I thought Twitter was open. Interesting to see that Twitter is blocked too. - Robert Scoble
but I liked the idea of decentralized, but isn't that too ambiguous to develop - شیدا
Yes, Governments are the real problem, but they will not disappear (in Germany we have a debate about internet filtering in the moment, too). Decentralized services could help, but your are right, they are only a workaround. - Andreas
I'm so happy to see that lots of Iranians are getting around their government's censorship. How can we help? - Robert Scoble
Is one of the reasons twitter is still getting through is the shear number of ways to tweet or is it just everyone using proxy servers? - Luke Kilpatrick
Luke: what people are now telling me is that everyone is just using proxy servers. - Robert Scoble
@Andreas Twitter (and Facebook) may be centralised, but the situation today with these sites is hugely different to the situation in 2005 when Orkut and others were blocked - see http://yro.slashdot.org/article... - and the big difference is APIs. In particular APIs where apps and 3rd party sites can hold permission-to-post tokens... makes blocking much harder. - Dan Brickley
Lord bless the invention of the proxy server. I only wish I had the means to contribute a few myself. - Alex Esplin
Ain't that crazy?! "Normal" people forced to user "pirate tools"(like proxy server) to have their voices heard... - Zackatoustra
take our message to everyone you see. people should know that we are not rebel - MeŤi
As long as the proxies keep going up there's almost no conceivable way to block this traffic.That said governments will be sniffing and analysing all data so I'm guessing as soon as they see the words twitter & proxie heading somewhere that proxie gets blocked... watch what you say - David Race
the sms and cellphones are out of work - MeŤi
Zackatoustra and MeTi: the more that we can see each other as alike the fewer problems we'll all have in the future. It's too bad that governments are so lame because all your government is doing is hurting its people and keeping them from participating in the Internet economy. - Robert Scoble
how can we use it ? - MeŤi
facebook,friendfeed,cnn,bbc,reformist's websites and so on is filtered and we have to use such proxies for getting and spreading true news - TaaTaa from fftogo
amir: yes, but I know from my wife's family that all people share the desire to be free and have a government that listens rather than abuses. Keep on working for change, unfortunately it happens slowly. But when it happens it's a wonderful thing. Keep letting us know how we can help! - Robert Scoble
everything blocks... news agency websites, friendfeed, twitter, facebook, youtube, even yahoo messenger and gtalk - Opium
P2P way can be a solution, and anyone in need of it for protecting free speech, contact me in private and I'll connect you with some resources to a "rogue" P2P network (with live chat) that can't be shut down. They tried, failed, users hijacked the network, took over and kept it alive. Their community will welcome you with open arms. - April
They should use Opera Unite. - Guess Who
What about tunnelling stuff through an SSH server somewhere? Of course, there are Tor and I2P, although those have their own flaws. - Tyson Key
