So it's since Tuesday huh? The ultimate thread. How will the thread die then? We must have a limit for that, let's say 24h without one comment.
- Zu from AOD
As a side note, I do have to applaud the endurance and pettiness of those of us on FriendFeed. No one on Facebook gave this status update a second look!
- Mike Nayyar
We pride ourselves in our pettiness and obsessiveness. Um, wait.

Remember. It's not whole Scoble likes. It's who likes Scoble.
- Akiva
According to FriendFeed, that's everyone. And some Twitter marketers and SEO experts.
- Mike Nayyar
Mike will get in the last word. Eventually. Everyone else is an idiot for playing his little game. Me included. :-)
- Robert Scoble
I'm not actually playing. Or, if I am, I'm playing to lose.

HAHA! You see that? Robert Scoble acknowledges I will eventually win! HAHA! FINALLY! For once in my life, I win! :) :) :) :) Unless Logical shows up...

Only mostly dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.

We're testing the limit on the number of comments.
- DGentry
Nah, the FFundercats live chat pushed that one way over the top. We are, however, testing the limits oh how sick people are getting of setting my face.
- Mike Nayyar
This thread has a lot of comments, that must mean Mike is an expert of some kind...or maybe an A-Lister. Must stalk^H^H^H^H^Hinvestigate him...
- Rah-PM 2012
Olympus too? Good thing Logical doesn't know any Japanese mythological figures.
- Mike Nayyar
All right, if you're going to play that way, Raijin AND Ajisukitakahikone are BOTH mad at you. And Raijin was especially unhappy because you interrupted his NOMmage of children's bellybuttons.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Dude, my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Raijin put down the platter.

We'd be content, of course, if you (Mike) issued a public retraction of the assertion in your post, followed by allowing someone else to post the last comment in the thread ;-)

Nicholas, as long as it's not Mike, it's irrelevant.

I'm sad that Logical saw this Facebook status.

You know at some point, expanding this comment will really put a strain on mortal browsers. It already has a 3 second pause to expand it.
- Mark Philpot
I wonder if at some point we will hit a soft limit and FF won't let it keep going. That or they look at this as a great high-bounds test case for the system.
- Sparky, lurking
Great experiment there, I'm somewhat scared opening the thread here. Funny thing, Even the explosion of words spawned through this, making it a wordle madness. http://www.wordle.net/gallery...

I'm scared to expand the comment thread :)

i'm afraid to click on the link to see all comments. so i'm just typing this so another guy (or gal) can read it and comment to make this comment disappear.

If anyone gets these emails in their gmail and got sick and tired of them like me, just press 'm' to mute the conversation (if you have keyboard shortcuts enabled) (haha i got the last word)
- Daniel Morgan
No you just don't know I posted this.
- John D Reasor
cant the person that started this block the comments now? and thereby win.
- Morgan
If you can get buddy buddy with mike and figure out his schedule, you can prevent him from stopping the comments because you'll always be able to get the last word in. We must prevail for great justice!
- Jonathan Hardesty
That would be cheating, and he knows it :)
- Tinfoil 2.0
That's how the FriendFeed Mob rolls. :-D
- Steven Perez
from IM
you didn't disable the comments yet? you could comment and then do it and then you really would get the last word. but then again, that's cheating. and cheaters never prosper.
- Trish Haley
You're not supposed to make sense of it. It exits only as an opaque, monolithic data structure that is constantly being updated and evolving. ;)
- Tyson Key
Attempting to parse it in a manner that is not approved by FriendFeed, Inc may result in disruption of the space-time continuum, and a series of Bad Things(R) occurring.

It's not because I'm a person who wants to have the last word, but just because you people keep me reminding that there are others that do want that very badly, that causes me to comment here once again. HI! I'M BETTER THAN MIKE NAYYAR!!!!!!! LOSER! :-)

Eventually, you will win. Because you're not married to this thread. But if you ever marry...your trend of always getting the last word will end. Painfully.

This thread must go away!!! What if it kills FF!?
- SAM
this thread could go away right now. but you people keep posting comments...wait....didn't I just do the same thing? OK, nevermind. Long live this Thread!!!!

I heard Nayyar had to get in the The Last Word, always. I talked to the casting director, and Mike Nayyar got the lead in The Last Word.

Every middle brings another middle. When the world ends, will this comment be toward the end of the thread, or toward the beginning?

You guys!!! This post will forever break FF if we're not careful.

Yeah, we should all totally stop bumping this post.
- Slippy
I'm surprised Friendfeed can still expand this thread.

OMG, doesn't even want to image what would happen if Nayyar tried to use #fftop20. Actually I kind of do, but I bet it would be slow. Scores would be off the charts though.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Probably still under 9000, people should try harder.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
yeah, it'd be a great idea - the first problem is there's always an asshole who'll break the chain rather than contribute. The second issue is there's no-one who has a FFFFOUND! invite ATM.

The worst part for me is the music often loads before the entirety of the page, so you can't shut it off right away. If there is even a way to shut it off. Grrrr

yep. and with an old slow computer it's even worse. shit just stops.

OMG YES. (BTW, best tactic I've found for persuading people not to use autoplay audio is to have them think through the example of someone in a cubicle.)

@Elaine I tried that, and he said he didn't care. It wasn't until he saw FriendFeed when he finally said, "Ok, maybe I should give them the option of turning on the music if they want." Thanks everyone! haha

I recently had this discussion with an iPhone app dev that felt an app for music SHOULD auto-play. Every time the app is opened, music comes BLASTING at full volume. Want to check your favorite band's calendar? You won't be able to discretely... They have since changed their mind about auto-play.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Yes, auto-playing music and videos is annoying.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yes, that and flashing and moving images I find most infuriating. I try to ignore them, especially the flashing images, as much as possible!
- Erik Retallick
Hell, yes. Especially if it restarts every time you click a link and then hit the back button. Here is an annoying example with a talking head instead of music: http://www.wellkeeper.com/
- Michael R. Bernstein
Something like 500% yes. I'm often on the web in situations where noise is totally inappropriate; my speakers should never start blaring without my permission.

did any of the invites make it yet? they have a really funky invite interface and it is kind of making it seem like I can only invite contacts from services I have ported into inbox2 which will annoy me if its the case
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
grrrr they have the worst invite functionality - so sorry for the delay all - lemme figure out how the hell to send these out
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Sorry gang. I tried twice. If it were just me with the problem, I'd say it was user error...but it appears as if Marco is having issues as well. Their invite setup stinks.
- eEditor
filled out a feedback form - will see if I get a response (it appears to be a simple send a message form vs something more robust and helpful like Get Satisfaction: strike 2 for them)
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Hi there, actually we are also using http://features.inbox2.com/ :-) We'll be moving to something more suited along the way, the feedback form gets the job done for now. But anyways, you can also send invites to people using their email address (they don't have to be in your Inbox2 contact list). I'll bring the "sucks" advice to the attention of our UI designers. @aureliusmaximus I'll look into why your invites are not arriving.
- Waseem Sadiq
Waseem: Would really welcome an invite as people have tried sending one to me but I am yet to receive one. Could you help with that: rohitsonika (at) gmail dot com. Thanks!
- Rohit
Thanks so much Waseem - it tells me to put in the email address, i type it in, it says its searching and doesn't find the contact (but the email address I type is still there), I click the Send Invite button and...nothing. No error message, no message sent notification, no invite cannot be sent - nuthin.
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
anybody receive invites yet? if not i will try again to see if they fixed it
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Marco: Haven't had one yet. You could try rohitsonika(at)gmail.com Thanks!
- Rohit
Hi guys here is an invite code for you, use this link http://www.inbox2.com/account... (limited availability). I would love to hear your opinion on the Inbox2 beta, regardless of whether you love it, hate it or don't care :-) DM me, twitter me @waseemsadiq or send me an email waseem at inbox2.com, Thx for your patience!
- Waseem Sadiq
Waseem: Thanks for the invite! It is finally working.

When link does not work, just type friendfeedlove as Invite Code

Hello, is there one more invite? hmnunes(at)gmail.com Thx

- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Gee..just what I was looking for! Thanks a lot :)
- Rohit
lol this has to qualify by the longest process from invite request to receipt in FriendFeed history - thanks for helping out Waseem - anyone else who is looking for an invite expand the comments and see Waseem's comment highlighting a special FriendFeed invite code

The bright purple cars from the still struggling Chrysler Group, available on V8-powered R/T and SRT-8 versions, will be officially unveiled later this week at the Chicago Auto Show, but the company provided photographs ahead of time"
- AJ Batac :)

Just looking at that fuschia car makes me want to buy one and go rob banks in it.
- ωαřмaiden TeamOtto
I agree more silver is not required (unless it is a vintage Porsche with red leather) -- but fuchsia? There were these kind of colours in the '70s (lime, bright orange, pink) on muscle cars -- hated them then too.
- Brian Sullivan
I don't even like pink all that much but i kind of like those because they're different

Owned a sliver '72 911 with black interior - was never all that fond of that combination though.

Or the last either likely but life would be no fun if everybody agreed.
- Brian Sullivan
They seem to want it both ways - playing to really tired gender stereotypes in their Dodge Charger Superbowl commercial and then expecting that same macho market to break out and use a "girl" color.
- Spidra Webster
@Brian - crazy bright orange, I love. Fuschia, not so much.
- Andrew C (✓)
Ooh! I finally have a car to match those shoes! Wait...

Maybe Twitter now creates their own FriendFeed platform that sits between the current Facebook and Twitter model. I'm always looking for the "what's next" platform that gives me more control and capabilities. Any new players / platforms on the horizon?
- Dave Blankenship
Personally, I'd rather Friendfeed be bought by Facebook instead of Twitter for 2 reasons: 1> The FB guys know how to run a social network *infrastructure*. Tell me how many times has FB failed this year? Now tell me how many times has Twitter failed? 2> They both start with the letter F... as in "F.U" xD
- Pandu ● IT Optimizer
Would have been better than facebook. FF team could have made a more meaningful contribution (twitter needs more help) and FriendFeed would have been in a more closely aligned market.

So as I am getting the new biz up and running I realized that I desperately needed a new laptop and that since I may be on the road a bit I needed it to do anything and everything - ended up getting an HP dv7-3080 on clearance at Staples and am LOVING every bit of its quad-core, hyper-threading, turbo-boosting i7, 6 gig ddr3-ing awesomeness!
It says so much that the first (and only) place I knew I could post this to where there was the slightest chance people would give a sht was here so I had to share it!

I'm only going to add the people i actually talk to on here. I have a lot less people on my follow list than you, so its a bit easier for me :)
- Simon Wicks
Remember, guys. According to FB, you're only allowed 5000 friends. Spend them wisely.
- James Myatt
As if we weren't before? Were they really that many people here who didn't also have a FB account, even if they didn't list it in their profile? I've been with FB since 2004
- LANjackal
Well, with this news it is pushing me to start using my real name for web services and to kill (or at least slowly stop using) the tomit persona that I have used for many years. Find me here... http://www.facebook.com/ronaldb...
- Sullivan
I'm on Facebook, but I don't have a name in my profile URL (yet; I'm still new...). But if you want it, it's http://www.facebook.com/profile... -- if you friend me, tell me you're from FF.
- Dennis Jernberg
I don't freaking have one because I never wanted to sign up for Facebook. :P Now I find out that through no fault of my own I'm technically a Facebook user? GAH.
- Cheryl Jones
I do not use it much LOL I just post to it from other sites so to fill up my friends stream, I do get messages and some status in text. Anyone who really wants to add me, use the facebook link on my profile. :o)
- David Gross
www.facebook.com/drodzand you won't see much since I got the privacy settings on max in Facebook. Just another reason why I think Facebook is completely different from friendfeed. I hope they keep friendfeed running because I use both services in diametrically diverse ways.
- David Rodriguez
http://www.facebook.com/waltrup... ... Deja Vu... didn't we do this already one? LOL! If you send me a request, please just mention FF. KThnxBye.

http://www.facebook.com/kimbers... (I can remember if I commented on this already. I don't see "You" on the list, but I'm tired. So, hopefully, I didn't. If I did, oh well.
- Kimber Scott
Thanks Rob, I had forgotten my username for I always used my email address to login - I found there is a settings > username > change thing that lets you change your username once and then you get a facebook.com/username url!
- TrafficBug
I am thinking about just using my Public Page more. Keep my regular profile for family and coworker data. Follow me here if you want more of the type of posts I do here of Friendfeed. http://www.facebook.com/pages...

Michael, We're here. How can we help right now? I'm sorry I'm not there. Do you have someone near? Of course, I am praying for you as soon as I saw. But if you need someone to talk with we're here. DM me if you want. I am OC, too.
- Melanie Reed
Let us know when you can dear brother if you have someone with you for support, medical or otherwise. In the meanwhile, I will stay up with you through the night in prayer. Please let us know how you are when you can and see this.
- Melanie Reed
Thinking of you, Michael. I hope you can ease the pain.

with you in spirit, Michael. Hoping the pain abates soon.
- Bren
Michael, still here and checking back. Am praying the psalms for you. You are not alone. He is with us no matter what we go through. Do not fear. Take courage. Right alongside you.
- Melanie Reed
Michael, the fact that you are experiencing this pain demonstrates that not only are you able to cope with it but that you could endure more. Whenever you survive the experience of any pain, you have already beaten that pain. You've already beaten it.
- Akiva
Still with you, Michael. Rest. You have many praying on your behalf and you have the victory now. God bless you.
- Melanie Reed
Michael, still here. I'll be here most of day working online.
- Melanie Reed
just saw your name in my feed, Michael. Praying for your healing...and for comfort. God bless.
- Bubba Botts
Prayers for rest and a peaceful day, Michael. *hugs*
- Rollin' in the LB
*feel better vibes your way* I'm with Akiva, despite the way it feels, you can handle it because you are handling it.
- <3Heather<3
Michael, still here. Let us know when you can.
- Melanie Reed
can't even imagine the "right" words to say so - thoughts and prayers brother
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
A crises of faith may produce a lifetime of clarity. Here's hoping for a positive outcome.
- Jack&Cleo
Thinking of you, Michael. We hold you in our hearts.
- Ayşe E.
Just saw your feed and praying for your healing. God bless you.
- FunkyRose
Talk to us, Michael. When you get a chance. God bless you for sharing your experiences. Let us take some of the weight off your shoulders.
- Josh Haley
Michael, how are you today? Still praying for you. @EasternOrthodox I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall ever be on my lips. In the Lord my soul will be praised; let the meek hear and be glad. We have the victory because He conquered the world for us. hang on to that. God bless you.
- Melanie Reed
Thanks, everyone! The difficult part is keeping mentally stable during a bout of pain. I'm not handling it as well as I'd like, but I'm working on it. My oncologist put me on morphine (insurance won't pay for oxycontin until I try morphine first), so it should be under control now.
- Michael McKean
I am glad it is more under control now, Michael. It isn't an easy burden you carry
- RAPatton
Good Lord, I missed this earlier, but I've been praying for you daily since your first post about your illness popped up in my feed. I will focus those prayers a bit more now.
- Vicarbott
i was kind of surprised to be honest - totally makes sense but didn't expect a major retailer like Giant to acknowledge let alone enable binge-drinking lol maybe next time I go back they will have pre-grooved Ice Luges in the frozen foods section!

Ok, look, LifeHacker is an amazingly helpful and informative website but it makes it SO difficult to find information that I question whether or not I am so stupid that I don't see some sort of master strategy in the site's design #Imjustgoingtocomeoutandsayit
It's not you. The site is crappy. Like Gizmodo crappy. I often don't read anything on the site. I just go to the last link in the "article". That will usually get someplace with actual content or at least point you where to search.
- Anika
good to know lol it hurts my eyes - I feel like at some point there was a conversation like: "Dude, everyone knows the traditional placement for a search bar is top middleish, pressed up against a big advertisement at like, 8 point font size. Its just common knowledge." followed by "ok, fine, fine, I'm just saying SOME people might expect to see it in the footer, that's all."
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
HAHAHAHA! What annoys me about both sites are the stupid links within the "article" that sends you back to the same site. They just use words that make it seem like you'll learn something and you don't.
