In Guatemala you can be arrested for Tweeting: http://www.boingboing.net/2009... Freedom of speech is IMPORTANT.

In this country you can get arrested for taking a photo of an ATM at REI.

A major screw-up by the local government (w/almost no credibility left). @jeanfer is a victim of commenting on a highly sensitive subject at an extremely challenging period as a result of this event http://digg.com/u13MPK which directly blames the President and the bank about which @jeanfer is twitting about. These are sad days in beautiful Guatemala, but we hope to come out of it stronger!

So far, the twins' favorite music = CJ Bolland, Eiffel 65, Daft Punk, Depeche Mode, Underworld and Information Society.

Holy crap, they have some good taste in music!

Helen, are you questioning Information Society? They like Baby Just Wants and Somnabulistic as much as A Knife and a Fork and Pure Energy.

I share the great taste with the twins - a blast from the past for me!!
- Gabriel Biguria
Sarah's favorite song (for today anyway) was Europop from Eiffel 65. Good beat.
- Louis Gray
How do you determine their favorites?
- Rochelle
Based on the amount of response, giggles, or reaching toward the remote, computer screen, etc. Grumpiness ensues with boring beats.

Hola Bret - I just relocated to Guatemala from California and am working on a model leveraging Friendfeed like features to empower the common citizen to combat the major violence/insecurity problems that we are facing - any chance to meet while you are down here to get your thoughts/recommendations? Thanks! Gabriel (gabriel@amigolatino.com)

Hasbro really messed up in the way the handled the Scrabulous situation and we are just seeing a small part of the backlash
- Gabriel Biguria
No, Scrabulous messed up in how they handled the "oops, we're stealing Hasbro's IP" situation and in the "Hasbro offered us $10 million when they didn't have to" issue.
- Jason Carreira
@jasoncarreira do you have a citation for the 10 million figure?
- h1ro
I wouldn't be surprised if this story is simply Hasbro's way of becoming the "victim". They have a lot of people pretty pissed at them and they realize they need some sympathy.
- Shawn Farner
from twhirl
I seriously doubt Hasbro offered $10 mil. That would be an insane valuation. Hasbro is legally in the clear for their actions, but they're living a PR and Marketing nightmare because of them.

I had a professor read the last lecture as part of his retirement; it's definitely a good read. It's so sad to see Pausch go.
- Mark Trapp
It's so Sad! He made our world richer with is intelligence and good humor. I wish all the best to their kids.
- Fernando
I am so happy I got to interview him. One of my favorites!
- Robert Scoble
I just looked back on my blog from meeting him: http://scobleizer.com/2006... -- interesting that he had a big impact on me even back then.
- Robert Scoble
Really very sad. I saw his last lecture and was very impressed. Always hoped, he would get through this...
- Matthias Schwenk
So sad - he gave one of the great speeches of all time and in such an unassuming, selfless way. I'm glad his kids will at least have that to treasure.
- JMaultasch
An inspiration to many. He will be missed
- Tim Finucane
One of the finest. Some people are great a reminding us how to live, mainly by example. He was one of them. His web page doesn't seem to be loading..does anyone see where we can leave thoughts for his family and friends?
- Loren Heiny
A real loss. I never met him (obviously) but I know of him through the eyes of those who did.
- Soulhuntre
from twhirl
The book was amazing.
- Steve Rubel
Fuck. fuckfuckfuckfuck. Randy was one of my favorite HCI teachers at CMU, and I'm so glad that his 'Last Lecture' got the world-wide attention that it did. I can't imagine being as brave as him in this place, and he fought off the cancer for about 6 months longer than the 4 months his doctors gave him. Even though I've known this was coming for months it's still really hard.
- Kevin Fox
I keep putting off the book, which is ironically exactly the opposite of what I should be doing: moving forward and living life instead of treading water and letting life happen. Peace to you, Randy.
- Kevin C. Tofel
I'm very sad but will always be inspired by the way he spent his last several months.
- Dimitrios Diamantaras
I was a huge fan of Randy's; his work will live on far longer than this in the lives of those he influenced.
- Aaron Krug
i love the "bedside conversion" line...
- Don Martelli

Inspirational. Will be watching his video many times throughout my life. Brave, wise man...
- Hao Chen
What better way to go than knowing that you made every day count and that you touched the lives of so many people around the world! Even though his departure is a huge loss, we are blessed with the inspiration he leaves us with!
- Gabriel Biguria
I'm going to order the book, finally.
- Roberto Bonini
He understood life and therefore death. He was attached to what was important in life, not to life itself. He was proof of the fact that scientists and engineers are the most spiritual of people. My thoughts are with his family - I hope they know how many are thinking of them today.

Good job Steve, a well balanced post on a relevant situation that some have taken way out of context!

Excellent read, nicely done.

I think part of the problem is that when situations like this come up, the worst sort of "defenders" come out of the wood-works. Once they get involved, even if there was a reasonable context, things get really out of control.

I've had VERY good luck with Camtasia Studio. It has a really impressive feature that follows the cursor and zooms in automatically. I recently did an investor relations video with it, and was well impressed.

Good find, Kambiz!

I was going to say..you could make a video like that with Camtasia. It just took a little editing and some music put in. But, it was so well done. It's an older video but, it's impressive!

I agree, that is a great video. BTW, here is another video I also enjoyed from the same author - hope you enjoy as well! http://www.youtube.com/watch...

The number one way I find people to add on FF? Nope, not FFs recommendations, finding little white bubbles next to people making interseting comments in conversations. These are the people that I want more of. Folks that participate intelligently are far more valuable than A listers who don't.
Peter Reavy, Joe, Mitchell Tsai and 141 other people liked this
Agreed, when I find a thread I really like, I tend to add a bunch of commentors from it.
- Phil G
I'm only just now starting to use FF, even though I signed up months ago...and I agree, this tool is far more useful than even twitter.
- Jeremy Botter
I agree 100% Tom. That is how I have been finding a lot of people. I am relatively new to FF so that and friend of a friend posts are the only ways I am finding people.
- Matt Donders
Personally - that's why FriendFeed is differentiating itself from a lot of other sites. It caters to those active people that want to discuss, learn, inform - which makes it a resource that I come back to over and over again...
- George Smith
I'm in absolute agreement but have to admit that I've added some of the A listers just to see who's talking to them intelligently. Granted, the ROI's a little low, but sometimes watching the fawning is reward in and of itself. <insert sarcasticon here>
- Linda Mills
You get what you give
- Dave Martin
Good point, this is one of the reasons why I'm spending more time on FF now - great way to discover and interact with new people that have relevant information/comments to share
- Gabriel Biguria
So very true. My page of "recommended" friends is nothing but a bunch of A-listers that would fill my FF pages with mostly junk, and not a lot of substance.
- Brandon Wood
ditto ditto and ditto - just added Gabriel and Jeremy in fact
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
When I am looking for people that share my interests, I search for a headline I really liked on the everyone tab and check out others who shared it and see what they are all about. It is kind of time consuming but fun.
- Geoff Schultz
we use the same technique
- Fred Grott
I'd also add that you don't have to add a whole lot of people to get quality content thrown into your FF stream. I'm slowly adding people and the value of FF went up 10 fold.
- Otto R. Radke
The goal of adding friends here is to have intersting stuff in your Friendfeed. And you do that by carefully watching the dicussion not just in terms of comments and likes ( as mentioned above multiple times), but what items are posted by people. Thats whats I look for.
- Roberto Bonini
I've been getting annoyed at the amount of junk, repetition, and endless Twitter vs. FriendFeed talk from the so-called "A-listers". It's high time to start unsubscribing and find some new "friends".
- Matt
the ancient toad style of social networking
- Anthony
Actually if you do that you soon realize that there's more content by interesting people here than time you have to read that. Then, the question stops being how to find interesting people (that you'll keep finding and following) but how to reduce the noise...
- Marcos Marado
from fftogo
So Marcos the task at hand is to become Jedi of the Hide button and learn how to fine tune everything.

Hah! I just added everyone in this post who I wasn't already subscribed to.

If the same friend of X comes up often, and I find them interesting, I will subscribe to them.
- Hao Chen
No white bubbles here for me.

- Sally Church
I get zero comments on FF to my posts. I'm not A-list of course. I'm more like a lesser known Baldwin brother.

- Scott Jarkoff
I, too, am just getting more involved in this social networking thing ...
- Robert Couture
This taps into what for me is the stand-out experience FF. 'Common Interest' is _one_ facet, but there's more going on in deciding to Subscribe or not. It's like a first impression in person - the brain takes a bunch of behavioral cues builds a profile in seconds upon which decisions (sometimes lasting) are made. To balance the split decision weakness of not enough information, just cruise through the person's feed for 'background check'. All common sense I suppose.
- Micah Wittman
Yeah but I frikin HATE the moment I add 1 person from a thread i like, I get bumped out of the thread & have to go back & search for it again to see if I want to add anyone else.
- Mrsth
@mrsth, I agree 110% w/ that. It's easier to open a new tab then scroll down and locate the topic again...
- Czar
Nah...I add completely based on superficiality and looks. :-P
- Live4Emma (L4S)
@Czar- ah I didn't realize you could do that. I'll give it a whirl. Thx!!!
- Mrsth
@Carlos Perez- Ahh. that explains alot. You can only see my legs:-)
- Mrsth
i guess just a 'me too' here would be totally wrong.
- MLx
I think the only way to find those interesting people you don't know is to subscribe to the popular people. I've been finding some interesting folks that way. Otherwise, no one posts comments to your own stuff. Oh, to be unpopular. Sigh.
- Eric @ CS Techcast
That's exactly correct. I don't auto-follow. I add people who comment and like and share things I'm interested in.
- Louis Gray
wow, that's a super-excellent observation. i'm taking the hint with a few 'white-bubble' folks here too. altho i wonder if the FF folks shouldn't cue that behavior up with mouse-over info on the bubble icons... i had no clue why the color was showing up at first. (then again, i'm often an idiot)
- dave mcclure
awesome. this reaffirms why i like ff better than twitter. the failwhale is kind of endearing, though.
- Marissa "malouie"
Couldn't agree more! The Fancy Pants people are too fancy, I just want interesting conversation(s)!

I can't stand FF posts with more than 10 comments. I want to filter them out but there is no option for that.
- Sam Pullara
What client are you using? twirhl makes comments on FF OK, but just OK. It's a shame that we're all this way and still don't have clients that support threaded conversations as good as tin or slrn on usenet...
- David Molnar
from twhirl
Good tip:)
- Igor Poltavskiy
david let's agree on 'as good as on usenet' - i never could stand neither tin nor slrn *g* but yes. it is now 10 years ago that most decent usenet clients had a feature set still not rediscovered for everything feedish ...

Agreed as well I look out for the white speech bubbles as well to see what value they add to the FriendFeed community!

- Tyler Gillies
Occasionally I'll wander over to everyone and 'browse'. it's really eye opening as FF grows
- Charlie Anzman
Charlie, I like doing that too, but we need a language filter badly!
- Hao Chen
The number one trick A-listers use and I never liked? " hey I'm here now on friendfeed, comment on this if you want me to follow you". I don't want them to follow me because they are important. I want them to follow me because they feel I'm important to them!
- Alexander van Elsas
Agreed- when I see opinions I like from someone several times, I check to see if I've subscribed to them yet.
- Brian Carter
My first time on FF and I like the interaction I'm seeing. The "white bubbles" are a great way to find new and interesting people.
- Tom Newman
That's a great way to find friends with whom you can actually talk and count as friends. And the comments are a great feature of FF. I'm just getting to know how to make FF useful for me...
- Dan V
I haven't found FF list of recommendations terribly useful either. Although this is a bad example, because it brought me to this entry.
- TDavid
The criteria of "participate intelligently" is a relative word. What is "intelligent" to you may sound "stupid" to others? I guess the more appropriate term would be "value-adding to the conversation".. But I agree 100% on how "comments" can really uncover hidden gems!
- Winston Teo
I do this too. I consider the comments a kind of signaling (a concept I learned from economics). Too bad there are so little interesting people in FF (to me at least, my interests are a little "off" from the median).

The 3G IPhone platform with a caveat; LT it will depend on the level of massification of the IPhone around the world. What FB has going for it is that it is accessible by anyone with an Internet connected device - (but not everyone will be able to have an IPhone).
