There should be a registry of companies that do dumb stuff with passwords. We can then query it with a chrome extension and display some sort of icon if you are on their site. I'm at a loss as to the correct icon for "dumbass site".

If you use the FriendFeed Facebook application make sure you've configured it properly. We are switching to a new method of publishing in the not too distant future. If you see this message at http://apps.facebook.com/friendf... just click on the link to provide the proper permissions.
I disabled Friendfeed wallposts a while ago to avoid duplicate aggregate streaming there.

Orpheus' music was so powerful that no one could resist it—not even the fairest maiden. He chose the lovely Eurydice to be his wife. But their joy was brief. As Eurydice walked through a meadow shortly after their wedding, a poisonous snake bit her. She died, leaving Orpheus alone and deeply saddened. Overcome by grief, he decided to travel to the land of the dead to get her.

Stephen, very happy to see new features like this, but I think the "death" part is the major users reducing their activity. I'd love to see some support from Facebook in promoting FriendFeed more to encourage those users to go back. Or maybe they don't want to? Regardless, bonus for me! Thanks Benjamin - you're awesome!

Jesse, fair enough but major users always did come and go. Some of the departees who left said they were doing so because there was no new development. Clearly not all development is halted. Last week Paul hinted that FF may receive a major new feature, and characterized his participation as "20% time" -- I'll take that.

I backed down off the all caps. The group "best of" is really useful, love it.

Stephen, I agree - I'd just like some confirmation that Facebook cares about all this so I can know whether to focus my efforts on Facebook or FriendFeed or both.

I noticed the best of on the iPhone the other day, wrote it out on a cake and then ated it.
- Josh Haley
Jesse, I think you should focus where your users are focused. What do SocialToo users want? But if they want Facebook focus, you should still keep an eye on FriendFeed, since the future Facebook will look a lot more like FriendFeed.

Paul Buchheit said the FB acquisition was attractive because of shared vision/direction. I would be surprised if a lot of that vision wasn't already embodied in this product right here.

Is it possible to upgrade from a TiVo HD to a TiVo Premier and keep my old plan? The TiVo Premier UI looks much nicer than my TiVo HD. And rumor has it a Netflix update for Premier only is coming soon! But the new TiVo plans are twice as expensive as what I pay now :(
Bank of America took over my Schwab credit card. They shut down access to the Schwab card from the old website and won't give us access to the card on the BoA website until "sometime in December". Meanwhile my account is paperless so it's going to be a pain in the ass to make sure I don't miss a bill payment.
Ha3rvey: that's what I told the customer service guy before hanging up on him. I'm pretty sure they are just dragging their feet to collect fees. How hard would it have been to leave the old Schwab website up while they waited on our new cards to be delivered? The old cards still work, just the website doesn't.

Wells Fargo has certainly been known to stack the deck in order to ensure more fees.

Refuse to pay any fees for nonpayment of bills they don't send you or give you access to.

From what I have been reading, iM is the first option. Although if it cannot figure out, SMS will be sent the costly route automatically. No option to stop the message from going out...

Uh oh, BG - I disabled Home Feed emails about 3 hours ago, old ones still came in (ok) but new ones have started to come in since (some as of just 5 minutes ago)

What about Twitter? Mine's still broken - my FF posts are published at Twitter but my Twitter messages doesn't publish at FF. There are lots more like me.

Stop about Twitter, please. Let's focus on email, because there's a semi-serious issue still pending.
- Christopher Galtenberg
They should have the same importance. You don't seem to have a Twitter problem and I don't have an email notification problem. That doesn't mean that one problem is more/less important than the other.

Lotta providers are using Google Apps to provide their email services now. Could that be it? I know Virgin here in the UK recently switched over from their own mail servers.

AIM user accounts have been compatible with Gmail chat for a while, now; but I'm not sure exactly how it knows that your Gmail and AIM accounts are connected (I don't remember doing that, but I guess I might have)
