how do you do that? - Franklin Naval

Interesting. I wish I saw more Friend of a Friend. Of course, whenever I see one of those, I subscribe. - Robert Scoble

Now, I have added two people. :) - Mathew A. Koeneker

it seems silly this desire to control the "noise" by closing off the system so that only what is already inside stays inside, for by taking this defensive stance there is a very low probability of any new information entering the system and thereby allowing one to be educated, entertained and enlightened. - Nathan Eckenrode

So surprised to see this as the best post of the day. For me, the whole value of FriendFeed is in the friend of a friend. I subscribe to certain popular people just to get the benefits of who they follow! - JMaultasch

I wonder what comment was that ;-) - AJ Batac

Yeah I realised afterwards that I should have linked to the comment - it was David Recordon's first comment in this FF thread - http://is.gd/M4r - Andy C

Re: David's comment - He was right on the spot - AJ Batac

Andy, thanks for the pointer, I've subscribed to David too. - Michael C. Harris

Wish I could claim credit for the tantalising subject truncation but I can't... - Andy C

Mine's even more pronounced. You're pretty much the only person for me, Andy. - Michael C. Harris

"Great post. As always, you are seeing the bigger picture and the great potential, not just focussing on the implementation details. Some of the so-called 'analysis' of this story (dismissing identi.ca as a Twitter clone, missing key functionality, no channels, no replies) genuinely surprised me. It's also interesting that there's plenty of people (on identi.ca) shouting ideas for improvement and demanding new features from the sidelines while Evan continues to work 27 hour days to improve the service. Maybe that will change. We'll see." - Andy C

Oracle colleagues ditches Windows for Ubuntu. - Andy C

Christ - that's better - I simply didn't realise how much crap had accumulated in my FriendFeed. This is back to how it was 3 months ago (and should be IMHO) - Andy C

It's like becoming friends with other parents at your kids school. You have no interests in common (apart from Janet and John attend the same school) so there's no need to have each other round for dinner parties and pretend. - Andy C

Andy, nice weather in the UK at the moment, is it ? - Michael C. Harris

Hi Michael - Glorious yesterday. Mixed (cloudy with showers) today and cooler but the forecast for Sunday (Mens Final @ Wimbledon) is poor so expect rain interruptions. Talk soon, Andy. - Andy C

It's quite cool in Melbourne today. Off to the gym soon to keep warm, then maybe some gardening. You're probably off to bed soon, so talk to you tomorrow. Sleep well. - Michael C. Harris

Good night, Michael. Regards to the family. - Andy C

Our first tennis champion in 67 years and now you tell me - Laura Robson was born in Australia - you can not be SERIOUS ! - Andy C via Bookmarklet

My 30 second, instinctive, gut feel review of 'View From A Hill' - the autobiography of Mark Burgess (The Chameleons) - Andy C via Bookmarklet

SMTP but different. - Andy C via Bookmarklet

'but it's not as a Twitter-replacement today that Identi.ca is important' - Andy C via Bookmarklet

Laura Robson (14 years young) wins Girls Singles at Wimbledon ! - Andy C via Bookmarklet

That's cool Andy. Was it difficult? - J. Phil

Hmmm... page cannot be found. I think then it does mean identi.ca==Twitter. - Cyndy

Sort of. My configuration settings weren't heeded and I had to use fancy URL's before it finally worked. [This is probably my ineptitude] I am on bluehost but basically you need Pear, mySQL and php. - Andy C

@Cyndy: Works for me. Maybe I was messing about. Try again. - Andy C

Very true... I would never have listened to 5Live prior to downloading the Kermode and Daily Mayo podcast. Now I really rather enjoy listening to the full Simon Mayo show. - Adam Wilcox

I listen to 5 Live a lot (Sport and Fighting Talk) but despise the film reviewer on Mayo's show on Friday pm. - Andy C

Her opponent served underarm. Within the rules but not in the the spirit of the game. - Andy C via Bookmarklet

...and had been loosely aware of for a few weeks. - Andy C

Agreed. That's part of the FF draw for me, thus far. Reasonable, fairly intelligent discussions with people who aren't just wanking each other off by agreeing with every opinion. - Spinn

Err - you used the word 'wanking'. Sorry but that offends my Christian sensitivities. Unsubscribed :-) - Andy C

That, sir, brings the lols. - Spinn

Err, well - just, err, one of them but hey, I'm sure Ontario Emperor (alias alert) will be along real soon now. I blame all those July 4 parties for the delay from the usual early ORCL adopters. - Andy C

...but at least I can find them quickly :-) - Andy C

I saw your same old, tired avatar as well, Andy! :-) - Louis Gray

Mathew, nope, there's no flour. - Michael C. Harris

I thought the avatar was our old friend Alan Partridge, being a dick ? lol - Jonathan Beckett

The problem with having an Alan Partridge avatar, is that I view the mystery Andy C as having a fetish for lady boys. - Adam Wilcox

Curious..why? - Devin Anderson

I can certainly understand no partial feeds. - Michael C. Harris

The BBC obstinately use partial but they may be one exception. I simply can not revert to perusing the BBC Web site. That is just so 1990's. - Andy C

@michael I use a river of news but your blog is one I actively look out for so rest assured. I also think I need to follow more Habari folk and 'personal' blogs too. - Andy C

You do wonder why the BBC won't make full feeds, its not like they are going to miss out on on-page advertising. I did a blog cull of Wordpress/Windows feeds- got GoogleReader down to a good 60% of original beastly size. - Adam Wilcox
