After the claim that http://friendfeed.com/rahshee... wouldn't start a meme, I had to at least give it a try. This is mildly better to look at than the original that the lickers came from (you know which image I'm talking about, I refuse to link to it).

Seems like it's basically a like feature.
- Holly Rae, FFer
Which means twitter now has two features that implement effective the same functionality, except one puts its output in your stream rather than in a hidden stream that no one looks at.
- Andy Bakun
twitter's philosophy: if it works for the community, break it. I've never seen more arrogant, high-handed behavior than what I see from them. this 'feature' is a metric. it serves no useful purpose to users whatsoever.
- Karoli

- Josh Haley
i don't see a problem with what they're doing... you can still do the old way, but why would you? to add a notation? that's about the only drawback, and he said they're probably going to implement that in the next code revision
- Chris Heath
Chris, the whole concept behind what they just implemented is silly, and more importantly, it's a horrible user experience. Imagine explaining to a newbie that that Retweet thang they just used for the first time really did send it out to their followers, sort of. of course, their name probably never showed up on that retweet and someone else's avatar popped up in their friends' timeline, but hey...it's how ev likes it.
- Karoli
I actually agree with @ev - RT @name RT @anothername RT @ANOTHERname With cut off Tweet = NOISE.
- Mona Nomura
Mona, lots of people don't do it that way but they do use the Rt feature as a conversational/contextual tool.
- Karoli
I like how tweetdeck does RT now, hope they don't break it
- WarLord
Karoli, what's silly about the concept that they've implemented? and how is it a horrible user experience? I think it makes more sense, so newbies will understand it better and start using mentions in a more purposeful way than just echoing, but the rt will still be there to provide that echo chamber anyways...
- Chris Heath
Chris, I beg to differ. What a newbie will see is the avatar and name of someone they never followed, with a tweet. Underneath is the retweet text, but it's in 'tiny text', the bits people *don't* look at much. (I can't tell you how many times I've had to tell people how to tell what client a person used). The original RT specified it at the beginning, textually. You knew it came via...

- TxVoodoo
What TxVoodoo said, +1 Twitter is confusing enough for newbies. Chris, this feature is not a social feature. It's a marketing feature intended to locate swarms. I presume those swarms will probably evolve into a marketing tool which, like anything else, will be gamed wherever possible.
- Karoli
And I just realized another reason to allow us to edit tweets-removing hashtags in original tweet. There are times when, if a certain hashtag is left in, certain individuals will engage, and I'm just not always up for that. (Yes, I'm being semi-cryptic to avoid offending anyone, but you can look at my twitterstream for clarification)
- TxVoodoo
its not like anyone is paying to use twitter, or cant type rt and cut and paste, it just adds another way to interact with their system that they bought and paid for, we are kind of guests
- Robert Higgins
Tx & Karoli, i guess we'll have to agree to disagree here
- Chris Heath
@Rober - others have used tha rationale before with the many other free services. However, without their users, they have no value. If Twitter were a tiny service, they wouldn't be able to have deals with other firms.
- TxVoodoo
@TxVoodoo we can all agree that the users add value to twitter, I disagree that the concept of being able to follow anyone you like, without reciprocity has no monetary value. Although, it is beyond my ability to establish a monetary value, of the novelty of that knowledge breakthrough. I am positive if Twitter died off tomorrow, the founders would still be in demand for their insights....

On another note, this thing is only 128MB. I'm no Flash drive expert, but I'm thinking that's on the way low side of things since the micro-sd in my phone is 2GB.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
I just used one a lot this last month. My internal DVD-ROM drive started failing right when my album was going to press. The only convenient way I could get that much data from the studio hard drives to my own was using a USB flash drive. I also used it to take songs to my various musicians when we were rehearsing for my gig. I couldn't burn a CD for them because of my drive problems and sending the songs via email would have taken forever.

- Ragani Harris
My family uses dropbox for most of our files. I don't work in an office setting at the moment, but I could see using one in that setting or as a student. As a musician, I still send files via email and would probably use Dropbox, Soundcloud, Reverbnation or somesuch to share an entire album. Interesting responses, keep them coming. I'm learning :)
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
It's good to put Launchy on one.

I store my music on them. My car has a USB port as does my OPPO BDP-83 blu-ray player as do all my PCs. My Sansa E250 has removable microSDHC card that I can also pop in to a USB reader and use to listen to music on that. Tres cool.

Rasheen, never put all your eggs in one basket. People diversify their portfolios, You diversify your storage. A good BCP strategy is not just for enterprise scenarios. It also needs to be adopted for small business to and the mobile worker. When I develop there are certain files I keep exclusively under my care when going back and forth between servers and desktop to lap. No server, cloud or physical, is completely safe. Take care of your storage options and they will take care of you.

Unfollowing someone on Twitter is the most underhanded, cowardly way of signaling the end of a friendship. That's what email's for.
Rob Michael (Atmos Trio), MG Siegler and Roberto Bonini liked this
Some times I unfollow because I'm following them elsewhere already. Also, accidents happen occasionally - my service offers auto-unfollow based on certain keywords in DMs that individuals set on their own. Hopefully you're whitelisted by that individual, but occasionally accidents do happen. :-) If they're a friend, might be worth approaching them to find out why they unfollowed?
- Jesse Stay
Unfollowing == ending a friendship? Must be a new age definition of friendship I guess.
- Brian Sullivan
There needs to be a way to allow certain people to DM you without following them. I'd like to put all my friends into lists, for example, and read them that way instead of having them in my main Twitter feed (aka followed).
- Otto
Otto, it's called e-mail :-)

99 hits on my blog today... that never happens. I mean that quite literally. I'm glad people are reading this.
- Holly Rae, FFer
Interesting to see how this company is gathering materials/products. Most of the people I know consider this place a paper mill, even though it pretends to advertise itself as something else.
- Katy S
Katy, so in your experience, Course Hero is seen as a paper mill? Do students mention it?
- Holly Rae, FFer
Students never mention paper mills. However, pretty much everyone I know who teaches composition who knows about this place sees it as a paper mill. When it first started up, it actually sent out info about its "services" to all students at my university (somehow they got the list address), including all of the grad students who teach the writing courses. Everybody talked about it as another paper mill.
- Katy S
Many paper mills are more blatant, but they all claim that the papers are there as examples for students.
- Katy S
Wow. What's discouraging to me is that it could look like my classmates and I shared our work with the intention of it being used in a paper mill. In reality we never shared it outside of class.
- Holly Rae, FFer
Some faculty have remarked that students must be sharing... how else could it get there? In this case it was because the faculty member hosted it on a public website. A bit naive about the way the web really works.
- Holly Rae, FFer
Well, in the old days (when people sent away for these things via mail) that would be more likely, but now people should know that these papers can be gathered by all sorts of means. I've heard of students finding out their paper is at one of these places, most likely sent from another student who had access to the file. Students are notoriously careless on the public computers (they're always leaving files open), so this doesn't surprise me.
- Katy S
Were there any comments or a grade attached along with identifying information? If so, that faculty member committed a FERPA violation. Federal laws are not to be trifled with.
- Katy S
Nope. No grades. She asked if she could share it with her future students - she emphasized only her students. She knew it was sensitive. It was four years ago and she just didn't realize what putting something on the web server at our school would do. She actually taught me a lot. It's ironic.
- Holly Rae, FFer
Just because the paper was out there (however) doesn't give Course Hero the right to charge money for access to it... right? If a bike is laying on the street and you don't know who it is and you just take off with it... that's still stealing? I think.. :) LOL
- Holly Rae, FFer
I read your post - you'd think that considering the subject of the study - minors - she'd be more careful. I just can't imagine doing that. It's one thing to share a copy in class and quite another to post it online. How absolutely clueless.
- Katy S
I agree. These are the people preparing our future teachers.
- Holly Rae, FFer
Something I've heard a lot about is Turn it In. Is that helping the plaigerism issue or creating other problems?
- Holly Rae, FFer
I haven't read through Coursehero's terms, but they shouldn't be able to profit from your work. You don't have to register for copyright - you already have it. I'd be interested to see how they are doing this legally.
- Katy S
I used WebCT in a previous job. It's very disturbing that this content has ended up not only public, but charged for. I hope you get some redress.
- WorldofHiglet
Yes, I will file a copyright infringement. For sure. I am actually going through my legal resources as a student (was full time time, part time now).
- Holly Rae, FFer
Thanks, WoH. It will be done. Just have to get the word out - I was surprised how many folks said 'wow, my paper is up there too!"
- Holly Rae, FFer
Katy, in a statement to Inside Higher Ed they talk about how they are basically immune because it is a peer to peer system and each member is responsible for the things they post (a la YouTube).
- Holly Rae, FFer
Here's the thing... and I refuse to get an account and log in... but it looks like exactly what the instructors had on the web. It appears to have been mined. I don't know how you prove that... but it does not look user generated or submitted to me.
- Holly Rae, FFer
I just looked at their terms. Supposedly, if the copyright holder tells them to take it down, they will: http://www.coursehero.com/about... I'm curious to see what they do for your case. I'm willing to bet that this legally protects them from lawsuits (But I'm not a lawyer). Sneaky.
- Katy S
It will be interesting to see how they respond to my request. Recent mentions in the blogosphere make me think the copyright page is relatively new (older mentions say, "and not even a copyright violation link" or something like that). Will keep you posted. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with me!

Fwd: Looks like the connection between FriendFeed and Twitter is no longer real-time. Wonder who is to blame? (via http://friendfeed.com/carnage...)

It was previously mentioned as an issue on Twitter's side. FriendFeed is polling now.
- Louis Gray
what? It's OK now? Or is it true that "Paul Bucheit wrote that they no longer had access to Twitter's firehose, so it sounds like it may have had something to do with Facebook's acquiring them, but don't quote me on that. - Jorge Escobar"
- Steve Gillmor
I think both Louis and Jorge are saying the same thing
- Jesse Stay
Right, I'd like to hear Paul or Bret confirm that.

Well, on a maybe related note, the Innovation Management Group (http://friendfeed.com/innovat...) has not updated for 24 hours now. That Group includes direct Twitter accounts, Twitter searches, Delicious RSS for a specific tag and SlideShares with a specific tag. No update at all for 24+ hours. Most odd and frustrating.
- Hutch Carpenter
also not finding older posts in search that used to be there. did this change too?
- Brooks Bayne
Twitter shut off the firehose, but made available a replacement API called birddog. We're about ready to switch that on (which will restore realtime Twitter updates), but are waiting on some final approvals from legal. I'm hoping it will all be resolved this week.

mmm

Question: Does anyone have a good playlist of super mellow songs that I could play before bed? Reading isn't calming me currently and I find myself listening to the softer tracks from Spring Awakening but I know there are lots others (Jenny Lewis, Rilo Kiley, Sarah McLachlan, Dar Williams, etc.) but I can't seem to make a coherent list.

I'm sorta half working on a down-tempo melancholic mix (not depressing songs, but like the stuff you're listing - stuff I listen to when I'm tired or relaxed or just zoned). I'll try to finish it up quicker and get a copy to you.

In the meantime, get some Amy Millan. She's right in that pocket, and gorgeous voice to boot.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
are you specifically looking for vocal music? if not, I would recommend Thievery Corporation, Indian Vibes, Aim, Quantic... any good downtempo, chillout-type electronic music... very mellow.
- Bren, Photophobe
Ooohh Ooohh.... almost forgot Groove Armada! wheeeee!!!
- Bren, Photophobe
Leonard Cohen

Thanks Jandy! I knew you'd have good ideas. I just need that mellow-ness. Bren - it doesn't need to be vocal at all (in fact, certain classical pieces calm me more than anything) but I'm really not into electronica. I've tried and I just can't... SAM - I should give him a shot. I heard him live (for a bit) at Coachella and like his stuff.
- Lis Miller
Classical: Bach's lute suites and any classical guitar from the likes of Fernando Sor, Isaac Albéniz, José Ferrer, Luigi Boccherini, many more.
- Michael W. May
I also often use Clannad, Enya, and Yann Tiersen.

i have this cd i bought, i cant remember the exact name, its called "best ever jazz songs" or some crap, but it's more loungey stuff. i remember hearing it in a motel restaurant in the middle of nowhere and luckily found a copy in one of the dodgiest cd stores i have ever seen. i remember being interested when I heard holly cole's make it go away. if i can find a link i'll post it on here.,,
- Terry O'Fee
I like Dido when I'm feeling mellow.
