Ugh...low to mid-80's expected here in Florida. Very jealous of your good weather. - JA Castillo

it's 46F here. :( - AJ Batac

Wow, 54 in SF?! Only 45 here in Northern Nevada! - Nicholas Kreidberg

Wow, for us Floridians, that would be super cold! :) - Mike Reynolds

64* degrees in Chicago and sunny..just beautiful - Sheryl

68 F here in Ottawa, Canada. Normal temperature is 55 F. Worst period of the year. The heating system at the office thinks it's way cooler than what it actually is. - Sylvain Nadeau

I'm following you, but you don't tell me anything about the new iPhone, so you aren't interesting. :-) - Robert Scoble

Pity party is now in full force on your FF! - Jason Shellen

Done and done. - Vincent X

I have no idea who you are, but woohoo Andy Sternberg FTW! - Ashley Williams via Alert Thingy

Hahaha! what a nice surprise! Were you all just watching the everyone friendfeed roll by? As for Scoble, I have a feeling that he actually is the machine ourselves ;-) - Andy Sternberg

I think Scobes is just gonna be the first of us to transcend into posthumanity. And then we'll get a blog post with a title like, "Woah! This is SOOOO cool! I'm crying!" - Tad, better than boredom

I was told there would be free cake here... - Brett Kelly

This could only happen on FF - Julian Baldwin

i will borrow some likes from 'scoble' - bvs

@Tad - too funny. I really think Scoble helps set a positive tone in this space. - Andy Sternberg

@Julian it's true -- FF is the ultimate test of: can you leave a comment on a blog (or aggregator) AND remember to responsibly track it / come back to it in good time? I've failed many times in the past by leaving moderately provocative comments on blogs and then fading into the ether. - Andy Sternberg

I'm in the same boat...actually you've one upped me with this post and all the comments here :) - Jennifer Van Grove via Alert Thingy

Funny, I was following Jennifer too (both before I saw this post), but she doesn't tell me anything about Google's new Android, so she isn't interesting either. Hope that helps. - Robert Scoble

it's always a competition with you isn't it, @jbruin ;-p Try me in Scrabulous sometime. - Andy Sternberg

Your Attention Whore-fu is weak. lol - Karim

weakness intended. like Julian said above -- it would only pan out on FF and in this stage of the rollout. I was surprised. Then again, I left a summize search open set to friendfeed when I left work and there were a couple hundred new results when I returned, so the buzz is only picking up among the broader microblogging community. Whore-fu that ;-) - Andy Sternberg

Scoble: when people get all iPhone/Android-crazy it really tempts me to start-up the Face-fone rumor. You know, the handset that comes with a multi-touch super-poke proboscis. - Andy Sternberg

[wipes trace of blood from lip] You win THIS round of Attention Whore-fu, Andy. But next time... next time I will link to ARRINGTON. [dramatic music] - Karim

LULZ @ Karim. nice one. chills even. - Andy Sternberg

oh man it's harsh times here on FF, I didn't realize I needed to talk about Android to be interesting :), oh and @netzoo I'll take you down at Scrabulous...it's on...just not now @jbruin needs to finish a business spec for a top secret project - Jennifer Van Grove via Alert Thingy

Andy, now you're getting more interesting. Keep it up! :-) - Robert Scoble

well, thanks. I did set the bar pretty low there. This is a very vacant call to arms though -- what if a microblogger SERIOUSLY needed to flag a tweet/post for urgency. should there be standards? I do hate those urgent flags in Outlook, etc, but still... - Andy Sternberg via Alert Thingy

Hi Andy. I "liked" 3 of your items. I'm sure as I have time to go through your FriendFeed stuff that I'll "like" more. Welcome to FriendFeed! ;-) - Mitchell Tsai

you're not alone. then again, i've just recently become a "fan" of friendfeed. there's too much going on at times to capture meaningful content or contributions, but you have to start somewhere i guess. - Cee Bee

Awww come 'ere, big hug. There ! :) - Mo Kargas

we can't have that now can we. Looks like you have hit the mark with this post though. 21 comments and counting. Not bad! - Michael McGimpsey

Okay, piling on with my pity because I always do what FF comments tell me to do. :-) - Joanmarie

it could result in a black hole but that doesn't mean it will ..and if it did happen the whole planet would be ground zero .. a not too pleasant thought - JohnBfromMemphis via twhirl

Yeah, that's why we here in Texas turned our Super Conducting Super Collider into a very large tube with which to grow Shitake mushrooms. I wish I was joking about this. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Mark: we talked about the Texas debacle. The physicist who was showing us around was very disappointed and didn't like talking about it. - Robert Scoble

The shutdown of the SSC was one of the reasons I dropped out of my Ph.D. program. - Sam Pullara

@Robert, @Sam: I was a kid when all that happened, but I remember when I was in school and they were trying to keep the thing alive - I still have stacks of documents and brochures about the SSC and what was capable because of it. Keep it for nostalgic reasons. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Francine, I'm leaving for the Tel Aviv airport in two hours. Long flight home. - Robert Scoble

Yes, I tend to agree that our FF ex-Googlers with be re-Googlers in the future. - Mike Reynolds

Yeah that would would be great... also, *sooooo* not going to happen. - Jason Shellen

Not interested. Google was ok, but FriendFeed is a lot more fun. - Paul Buchheit

Paul: why? - Amund Tveit

Amund, Google is a big company now. - Paul Buchheit

I thought FriendFeed was going to buy Google. - Amit Patel

How does this mesh with google's business model? ...via AlertThingy - Shawn Smith

It's too bad Google has basically stopped innovating and just started bying stuff. Appengine is the pits and they haven't doen much else. ...via twhirl - Soulhuntre

friendfeed is already a spinoff of google ... what would he do with Jaiku ? and you forgot bambuser qwich integrates gmaps .. ...via AlertThingy - Frédérick 2 Baro

@Jack I am sure they will give it a good try, although they will see it more like shaping the internet! ...via AlertThingy - Joe Dawson (beta)

Soulhuntre, in a way i do agree with you, but i don't think that Google has deserted innovation, there's so many development projects running there. I think all this acquisition issue is a matter of economic calculations, instead of holding a special team to develop something for several years they just purchase a company that has already spent the time on R&D and created the product. - Nir Ben Yona

ha. i called this back in october: http://gregcbrownyes.blogspot.... ...via AlertThingy - greg brown

Maybe Google is jsut over-extended. They sat on Jot for years, then ruined it. They haven't done much with Gmail and search is stagnant for them. All they do to generate interest of late is spend money. ...via twhirl - Soulhuntre

@Jack They can't:) - Igor Poltavskiy

They most likely will try. But they won't get too far. - Daniel Spradau

I agree with Twitter and FriendFeed - am a bit biased since they're the only Web 2.0 services left that I am obsessed with. - Jason Kaneshiro

But Google already bought Jaiku. I hope they don't buy FF too soon. I'd hate to see it die under corporate stagnation. - engtech

I agree with FriendFeed - FaceySpacey

I agree...makes sense...one is the search of scrape and link, the other is the search of share and discover = Organise the worlds info ...via AlertThingy - John Kotsaftis

friendfeed looks like a google service, acts like a google service, is built by xGooglers and is a perfect fit for Google. I agree and would love to see it happen. my only question, why didn't the team build this at Google? - timepilot

@timepilot, I wondered the same thing at first. But apart from the possible entrepreneurial benefits, I'm guessing the freedom of development. They now have complete freedom around where they want to take it without the limitations of a large corporate agenda. - Phil Ashman

no more romours ; ) ...via AlertThingy - Kevin

twitter will be a better fit than Jaiku. Friendfeed is already pary of my Google Reader, but I guess it would help to own it - Michael VanDervort

When will they buy Alertthingy? :) - Michael VanDervort

What would Google do with Twitter after the damage they did to Jaiku and Dodgeball? ...via AlertThingy - Jane Quigley

The difference between Jaiku and FriendFeed is that Jaiku wasn't funded and its founders weren't rich. They sold to Google to collect their bucks, and it was the right decision for them. FriendFeed doesn't need to sell out. So unless Google offers really a lot of money, there's no reason to sell unless Google has plans for FriendFeed. Which I doubt - if they had plans, they'd just developed it on their own. ;) - sebmos

@jane: What damage did Google do to Jaiku? ...via AlertThingy - Niclas Strandh

@Scobleizer agree re: friendfeed+google - mutenewt

Maybe Paul can coin a new phrase, "Don't be sold." - Vince DeGeorge

FriendFeed will be more interesting to Google if it gains mass appeal. - Mike Reynolds

Yeah, I've been saying the same thing...Agreed ...via AlertThingy - John Pretto

google bought jaiku, why should they buy twitter, too? ...via AlertThingy - Timo Heuer

I can understand FriendFeed, but Twitter ... Friendfeed need to add more browsing controls, tag clouds, filters etc.... ...via AlertThingy - Alemsah

Twirls fights back! - Daniel Spradau

Commenting on this post, via Twhirl, now with FriendFeed support! Yeah! ...via twhirl - Michel Bechelani

Twhirl also adds a via thing. But I can't seem to download Alert Thingy. The button doesn't render, and it says I need to install the latest flash player even though I installed it. So due to the process of Twhirl being the only thing I can get, it becomes my choice. ...via twhirl - Lucas Kjaero

Twhirl has upped the ante this morning with 0.7.9 though! ...via twhirl - Tris Hussey

I am confused... ...via AlertThingy - David Kaspar

Yeah I noticed that Twhirl added FriendFeed support to stay in the game. I tried it but like AlertThingy better. Neither are as good as they can be but AlertThingy has the better implementation in my opinion. ...via AlertThingy - Rolf Schewe

I think it looks a lot better than Alert Thingy, I do really want it to be integrated into the Twitter window though ...via twhirl - William Spaetzel

So far I think Twhirl is doing it better. Integrating the windows will be almost the final step. After that, filter the FF tweets so I dont see dupes. ...via twhirl - Soulhuntre

I just downloaded the new Twhril with FriendFeed support ...via twhirl - Mike Wills

To me the lack of integration is the problem. Neither are as good a twitter client (for just twitter) as Google Talk. The real-time updates squashes any features these other cleints have. I use Google Talk as my main twitter interface with AlertThingy on the side to track my and other people's social content. At this point the layout of AlertThingy is a little nicer. ...via AlertThingy - Rolf Schewe

Why can't we get rid of these via "...." messages. That's the killer for me. I don't care what client someone is using and it's just a distraction. Really not much advertising benefit either. - Brandon Titus
