Bhavesh - Likes - FriendFeed

zaloom! - Kevin Johnson

If we are really cool we'll get on this list http://friendfeed.com/search... - Robert Scoble

Kevin is first, who will be last? I just want to be the penultimate commenter! - Robert Scoble

first and last words are all that matter on the FF. - rob friedman

Okay. Everyone stop NOW! - Kevin Sablan

great. now FF is going to be filled up with those annoying ass people that comment "FIRST!" on everything. - Enrique Gutierrez

ok - Shawn Snodgrass

Aw crap, I could sit here all night waiting to be last, so may as well comment now. - Sharon McPherson

8th! - rob friedman

Any worthy FF thread will engage interested parties enough to read most of the comments. - iTad

Do I get bonus points if I end up being the thread killer? - Kevin Johnson

Kevin you could always delete your 1st comment. :) - rob friedman

Kevin! Yes, and we're having a great time watching this. It will get old fast, but for now it's really fun! - Robert Scoble

Dang it I am 5 min too late. So I guess it is like posting on a blog post, you always want to be first. - Jeff

Hey Enrique.. that would suck. Oh... LAST! Oh Jeff... Last. - Ted Bradford II

That's why these threads just go on and on and on... people just want to have the last word. ;-P - Chris Heath

Chris: I don't want the last word. I want the penultimate word. :-) - Robert Scoble

Nope, I like the riffng of the conversation. Jump in anywhere. Enjoy the free flow of ideas and worry not about being seen by the scanners. Those who take the time to expand the thread have such a richer experience. - michael sean wright

if i wasn't so tired i'd play that out Chris (as my last post was truly in jest). Late here in East TN. Gonna go tip a few cows and call it a day. - Ted Bradford II

Ted: so was mine ... didn't you catch the winky tongue? (i'm on cape fear so i'm soon to bed as well) - Chris Heath

Good point, unless you're actually using the RT chat aspect of FriendFeed, I guess... - Andy Werner

I actually come back 5 days later to make comments so I can have the last word. Everyone has already forgotten what the conversation is about by then. - Jeff

Chris- I did, but needed a segue into a cow tipping joke... cause I've never done so before. I do know this, tomorrow I will use the word 'penultimate' and dazzle family and friends. Hope alls quiet on the Cape bro. These storms have been a biotch. Annnnnnd Jeff just trumped us all. Tell him what he's won Enrique... nite all. - Ted Bradford II

Second to last is always visible on my screen. :) - Bwana ☠

Clever way to get the most commented upon comment on FF ever.... - Barak B

Ted, if you haven't dozed off- i'll have you know that the coastal winds tend to keep a lot of the storm systems at bay- if you're close enough to the water - a mile or 5 inland can make a big difference some days - and spot t/storms can be localized around here big time - for instance yesterday it rained (for a short period) at my house while i was at work 5 miles away getting no rain - only knew cuz the ground was wet when i went home for lunch... ok - it's really time for sleep now - g'nite FriendFeed - Chris Heath

so in other words, last is not least? - Julie Bovee Hill

Barak: check out this idea for a long thread (still nowhere near the longest on friendfeed, but the idea.. ) http://friendfeed.com/ajbatac... - Chris Heath

Chris: Yes, that is a good one too. This is better though and I predict with end up with more comments. - Barak B

Yay! I am last as of now :) - Amit Nangare

lets see how long this lasts for! :) - Paul Kinlan

Another one of these? From Scoble this time? Wow. BTW, last post. - Chris Charabaruk

I will be the penultimate commenter! - Garin Kilpatrick

That way I can be the ultimate one. - Chris Charabaruk

Nope. - Barak B

friendfeed should allow for "liking" comments so top comments can be the ones shown, no matter the chronology. And allow the users to watch comments by likes, threaded or chronologically. - Charbax

A blatant attempt at gaming the FriendFeed statistics for no real useful purpose... Oooh, can I be last, Please Please!!! - Peter Kelley

No, Peter, you may not be last. That's my position. - Chris Charabaruk

Last Post!!! - Richard Hurt

well, the last comment is always changing, isn't this like having your 5 nanoseconds of glory? - Liviu Lica

This thread is now closed. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

No, NOW it's closed. - Chris Charabaruk

Or is it? :) - Liviu Lica

Perhaps now... - Garin Kilpatrick

I would give it another 2 hrs or so. - Jeff

thats me! :) - Roshan Ramachandran

based on what you say, it easier to simply click like :-) - Orli Yakuel

:) - Michael Fidler

"Comment on a friendfeed item"? which one? ;) - Thierry R. Andriamirado

Are trying to go for the longest comment thread again? - Amit Morson

Amit: no, most times one post gets hidden. - Robert Scoble

In a different timezone you can have the advantage :) - Rene de Vries

Okay, people, nothing to see here. Just walk on. This is the last comment. It's all clear now. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

What if you write backwards? Does that help? - Kieran Daly

Okay, people, nothing to see here. Just walk on. This is the last comment. It's all clear now. says Ruud van Wijngaarden - Julian Edward

It would be nice if we could pick the number of comments shown at the top and bottom, I'd like to see the first 3 and last 3 for example. - Kol Tregaskes

I usually read all the comments of something I'm interested in. I don't just read the top and bottom ones so I don't care where I come in. I comment on what I want to because I want to say something. It's nice if the original poster reads/responds to it, but not absolutely necessary. Most of the time the most fun/interaction comes from other commenters. - Molly

:) says Michael Fidler - Julian Edward

Sounds like an online auction...Is there any deadline? Then I'll prepare my winning speech 17,3 sec beforehand. - Zack Brandit

I'm not falling for your postbait, Scoble! Oh wait...crap. - caj needs a haircut

Cow tipping - That's Funny - Brent - Yes I am

Good point. - Jack Boyle

I feel sorry for the cows. And the grass. I am weakhearted I guess. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

I guess I misunderstood. You were talking about that fat waittress in Crazy Mick's Breakaway Cafe, weren't you? - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Fine, I'm in - Don Bonaddio

am I last yet ? - Julian Edward

Nope - Jérôme

no - mjc

Yeah, you were last. Congrats. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

In ur timezone, stealin ur commentz, kthxbye :) - Peter Kelley

ok, I'll hold on to last place for visablity! - PaulJohnson

I was going to add something witty, but i got nothing. sorry.... - Mike Nencetti

No problem. Participating is more important than winning, we say in the Netherlands. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

It's the long-tail of real-time - zeroinfluencer

Excellent point David ;) - Don Bonaddio

Being last has one drawback. It makes you a thread-killer. I'm not sure some of us like being that. Sometimes I'd rather see the discussion keep going. - George Hall (Australia)

Do like the suggestion made earlier that there should be bonus points for being the thread-killer... - George Hall (Australia)

but who wants to be last? - mcvictor

Ok Robert, please close this thread now. ;) - Meryn Stol

I disagree, and I'll tell you why below... - FFing Enigma

We already did this thread, I'll post the link right after Tina's rebuttal - Rah-PM 2012

You don't really believe that Robert. Content is key! :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

But if I post last, I'm first in the thread on Twhirl! Double win! ;-) - Julie Barrett from twhirl

amazing - David Gross from email

Always happy to be last .... but it probably won't last :) - Charlie Anzman

llllllaaaaasssssstttttt - mjc

You'd be right Charlie :P - Jay

And there is nothing I hate more than reading that first comment that childishly claims "First!" and nothing more. "Last!" (until the next comment comes along) - Jim Espinoza

By the way, I'm the last commenter in a very participated thread recently started by Robert Scoble, but that didn't gain me almost any new follower. I'm fine with this though, as I'd find silly being advantaged for being the last commenter ;-) - Opensource Obscure

Agreed :) - Fabian De Simone

How do I stick my comment to the bottom so that it will always be last? :) - Jeff Sayre

How long can this go on? - Tom Landini

Last! ...for now - Scott

So this if why Scoble goes nuts over realtime feeds - he can be the first to comment. - Tom Landini

Well, every comment gets to be last for at least a couple of seconds. Or fractions of a second with RT. - The original Kevin

If you want to understand the power of last you need to read this thread http://friendfeed.com/mikenay... - WoH: Minding her Steves

"There is no final solution. There is no last word.” ~ Carlos Fuentes - Sharon McPherson

First is way better, because the last post can always change :) - Tim McDougall

http://last.fm - Garin Kilpatrick

Easy to be first, harder to be last. Kind of like trying to win a silent auction, you always have to go back - Lorraine Ball

but what if it took me a while to find the discussion, and i still want to be last? ;-) - Courtney Engle

Firs...Last. - Rob

@Rob - in yo' face! - JoEllen

The one who will comment after me is so stupid I would'nt like to be him :P - stanjourdan

Yoink! - Zach Lytwyn

112 comments - but there can never be last comment, can there? Unless there is a FF limit on the number of comments - Paul, is there a limit? - WoH: Minding her Steves

The current last comment is the next penultimate comment. - Brian Sullivan

Not everyone is on here to market themselves to infinity. Why people, other than people who actually make money off of exposure, insist on wanting the most friends on ff/fb/ms/tt is beyond me. Not everyone is a Scobilite! Yes I did just make that word up... where do I copyright it? lol - Jason Williams

Didn't someone blog about tinyurl's dominance a while back - about how they have too much power. Might have been Gillmor or Winer - Bwana ☠

Winer. I don't think they have too much power - Steve Gillmor

I'm going for last. - Derek Markham

I've got last:-) - Francine Hardaway

I'm the ultimate thread killer, so I win. - JCunwired

instahide - Edward Zwart

How can we compete against Robert - Peter Meng

Peter: why compete? Just come in last! :-) - Robert Scoble

ok - Kevin Johnson

Just checking. I heard this thread was closed, so I wondered if commenting still works. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

For the love; Robert please kill this tread so I will stop getting email. ;) - Jeff

wow that's pretty rad :-) - Patphelan

@Jeff, it's not spam if you opt in ;-) - Kevin Johnson

wonder what the value of posting on page length increments are... as people page down your comment is visible ;) - offbeatmammal

Jeff: do you still get email if you hide a thread? I bet you do. That sucks. Now I know why I don't turn on email notifications. - Robert Scoble

There is no last. - Mobius Loop - Robert Couture

to infinity and beyond - Jonathan Grimes

Kevin: i did not say it was spam. I put the smiley face indicating my partial joking nature. but only partial. - Jeff

Robert: I could not figure out how to disable comments for particular post. It is really not a big issue since I have gmail, but I do think this post may never die. - Jeff

@Jeff - same here - noworries - Kevin Johnson

- Rob

This. Will. Never. End. - Michael Forian

Pay me $10 and I'll delete this thread. (Future friendfeed monetization technique). Sigh. - Robert Scoble

Your comment is always the last! look at mine :) - Luis Benavides

Welcome to the neverending thread :) - Garin Kilpatrick

Garin: I'll delete it before it ends. :-) - Robert Scoble

Robert: That would be a shame. You'd be up $10 at least though :) - Garin Kilpatrick

The last shall be last - Peter Meng

There can be only one. - Kevin Johnson

I seem to be last on many of Steve Gillmor's posts @techcrunchit, the kiss of death to many a conversation. I should be so lucky here. - Aron Michalski from fftogo

A good way to stop? - Scoble puts in his penultimate comment Kevin Johnson says zaloom! - Julian Edward

Yes, you should be so lucky :p - Jesse Newhart

I'm going to change my FriendFeed ID to "145 more comments" - Mark Traphagen

Getting a piece of the pie... :) - Jan Ole Peek

I've often found myself to have the last comment. It hasn't benefited me yet that I've noticed...let's try that again. - Mike Lewis

first is forever....last is a very transient honor indeed. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

and being both is probably meaningless, but I'm still going to claim it - Kevin Johnson

Do others ever get more than 2 comments on their posts? :) - Cameron

I'm lucky to get 2. - JCunwired

Doing it!! www.radarla.com - Drew Lucas

So, if you are last and then someone comes behind you, should you re-comment to be last again? - T.S. Elliott

Probably so T.S. but it won't last long ;) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Sorry Rob:-) - Michael Fidler

1 - Robert Kenney

2 - Robert Kenney

This is the Seinfeld of FF....the post and comments about nothing. I wonder what the record is for the most comments on FF? - Jeff

As a fine-art platform, as a painting, do you think anyone would be interested in a full-screen image feed animated by Judith Supine? http://www.flickr.com/photos... - stephen harlow

He who comments last... - Abbas Haider Ali

comments as: - Kevin Johnson

Tag- Im it - Ryan Gerritsen

not anymore you're not ;) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

zaloom! - Kevin Johnson

for one moment I could imagine that every comment was Kevin Johnson and his "zaloom!" - WoH: Minding her Steves

ANd so I do and then another and another :) Fun huh. - Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa

not really... but hey... whatever - Chris Heath

So to comment or to like a FriendFeed item is to promote it.. and to promote the promoter. Great great great! - Thierry R. Andriamirado

173rd!! - Mark Traphagen

Controlled noise... - Joe Dawson

Indeed it is official :) But not for long let me bask in it's glory for a moment hahaha. - Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa

It was fun while it lasted. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

It's over now - no need to post any more comments - Julian Edward

Okay, Thanks. It was taking too much of my time anyway. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Nicholas: Except this thread is far more epic :) - Garin Kilpatrick

back again...to claim last place! - Zach Lytwyn

Good for you Zach! - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Cannot. Let. This. End. - Robert Couture

Have. To. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

hit hit hit - Hans Mestrum

Kol: Cool idea, it would be neat to be able to choose how many of the first and last comments were visible. - Garin Kilpatrick

Last - Michael Fidler

I like most anything distilled...information, bait...(distilled bait...is that like the worm at the bottom of the mezcal?) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

The difference would be that in this case the worm will stay on the bottom. No matter what. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

I reckon it'll be Ruud van Wijngaarden - Julian Edward

I am not quite sure about that. But willing to accept it. (Wait! You just called me a worm? The most underrated but valuable animal on the planet, that brings us fertile ground and eats dead stuff? It is a nice compliment, but might be a bit much). - Ruud van Wijngaarden

No, No! - I didn't mean you worm. Although as you say they are useful beings. I do hope you'lll be in heroic position of last commenter! This is a case of the last shall be second. (Kevin Johnson being first of course). Scoble is penultimate we would hope. I'm aiming for 5th to last! - Julian Edward

Yesterday somebody asked: 'if you pass the number two in a race, which place are you in?' and I answered wrong. Passing the last one in this race will be hard... - Ruud van Wijngaarden

The last comment shall be mine! :) - Garin Kilpatrick

Woot, last comment. ;) - Jimminy, CoG of FF

mine - Michael Fidler

NOPE - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Mmmm. I always hoped I would be last. - Ruud van Wijngaarden from email

I think it is hard to be first and even harder to be last.. just look at this thread.. http://ff.im/1hqgl - David Gross

Last comment? - Jeff P. Henderson

you mean Twitter Gar1n? You were talking on TWITTER WEREN'T YOU! LIAR "friendfeeed Garin" pfttttt still the same bi-polar - The Real sofarsoShawn

Interesting comment, SFSS, very interesting indeed. So interesting, in fact, that I think that nothing further needs to be added to this thread. Ever. - WoH: Minding her Steves

אתם כל כך מלא חרא, אבל זו בעיה שלך, לא שלי :-) - David Gross from email

actually i don't know how not to be the last commenter :) - İ. Emre Kutlu

Me too.. - David Gross from email

If only I could puncture the depths of Scoble's scratch-the-surface brain fart, techno-vangelizing, then I'd actually care WHOLE HEARTEDLY about this meaningfully retarded thread. - The Real sofarsoShawn

The only way this thread can be made even more ridiculous and anachronistic is to move it to identi.ca.. Myspace would work, too. - Tal Shafik

Interesting ;) - Alex

And since you can't guarantee being last unless you are the originator of the thread or can convince the originator to end comments (but since Robert is AWOL that is unlikely) -- you better be first. ;-) - Brian Sullivan

Stuff - Jonathan Hardesty

Okay, admittedly being the last IS visible...but who REALLY wants to be the thread-killer? - George Hall (Australia)

apparently, some people http://friendfeed.com/ajbatac... http://friendfeed.com/silas21... http://friendfeed.com/mikenay... (notice 2000+ comments!) - Chris Heath

I think I remember commenting on one of those threads...and it's STILL going???? - George Hall (Australia)

Hey, this one's from May... it's about to hit its own anniversary! - Chris Heath

I'm surprised this only has a little over 200 comments. - Jason Williams

201 - David Gross

213 ? Original Zlaloom! + 212 more comments including this one. The last one. - Julian Edward

don't be so sure about that... there's lots of people who like to be thread killers or last... just wait and watch - Chris Heath

yes - that's very true - Julian Edward

Sage words Robert - Sage words indeed! - PaulJohnson

See??? I told you! - Chris Heath

yep - you were right - Julian Edward

It doesn't seem to work in the long term. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

"Two separate sources—one inside the company and one outside it—have confirmed to Ars tonight that Google plans to launch an operating system built in some fashion around its new web browser, Chrome. One source says that the new OS will be launched soon, perhaps as early as tomorrow. Tentatively called "Google Chrome OS," the project appears targeted at netbooks... [A] quick-booting OS built around a single application like Chrome would be a natural fit for a netbook." - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet

If Google doesn't build this soon, I am going to do it myself at some point. I really, really want an instant-on laptop with low power consumption running Chrome. And I am not the only one. - Bret Taylor

umm... you meant Android, right? :) - Tim Hoeck

Tim: to make Android a great laptop OS, you would need to do a lot of work. Just because it exists doesn't mean it works well for this use case. - Bret Taylor

*resists urge to play Simon* - Derrick

waves hands wildy -- me too - I also want simple useful O/S that doesn't have "security hole" crap!, plus instant on, low power consumption (ideal for laptop / netbooks) with Chrome browser Ahhhh - Susan Beebe

Well, if you want that, you want an instant-on os, which are already available. I would prefer a fairly low power, fairly robust environment, not to mention a sharable environment with my mobile device. I'll actually be upset if Google builds "yet another OS". Also, I don't know think it would take a whole lot of work to make (strip) android and make it work based on a browser and maybe... more... - Tim Hoeck

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009... - Benjamin Golub

Whatever it is it will need to address media - both consumable (think Netflix) and personal (my photos and my mp3s). Not to mention Google needs to get their head on straight about Android branding. - Hayes Haugen

First reaction is that it is a misstep to separate this from their Android efforts. - Hayes Haugen

Android has to be closer to an OS than Chrome, since it is actually on OS. Chrome does device management etc? An OS does a lot more than execute javascript in processes. - Todd Hoff

I think currently the only OS that doesn't have a security hole is one that is locked in a closet with no network connectivity and no input or output devices. - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

I know why google cannot release a google chrome web browser on a linux platform. they're doing some shit operating system - xia

Derrick, how can you resist?! Do you really have a Simon? When I see that pic I have this memory of playing Simon on a plane when I was a kid. I'm sure I drove the other passengers insane! [EDIT: Wikipedia says Simon came out in 1978, which would make me 17 at the time. Weird, in my memory I'm younger ...] - Laura Norvig

Here's my favourite tweet about the Chrome/OS in Chinese and the translation: http://friendfeed.com/lost-in... :D - Micah

Micah: hilarious idea for a FriendFeed Group! Just subscribed. - Bret Taylor

My Simon needs batteries. - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

Thanks, Bret! - Micah

runny Jaunty on my HP mini is a breeze. not the goofy 'Mi' flavor, either - pure Juanty. Chrome OS? meh! - MikeAmundsen

Maybe, but I just seem to find better inspiration for others. It's like I don't know what I like. - Kevin Fox

13 more comments

Kevin, that's exactly the problem I have. Even more inspiring are projects I'm not even working on. Those I get ideas out the yin yang for. As soon as it's a project I'm working on? Well runs dry. If it's a project for myself? Well runs dry and then explodes. - FFing Enigma

we push ourselves harder when our reputation is on the line with someone other than ourselves? - Josh Haley

It's like a home builder. They never finish their own :) - Charlie Anzman

Perhaps it's because you're flexibile in what you like that you can do the best work for clients? - Daniel Dulitz

I suffer similarly. I usually see other people's problems as more interesting than my own, so easier to focus on and solve. With clients, there's a better chance of near-complete satisfaction sooner. But with me as a client, it's never* good enough, hence I'm never* satified and project is never* completed. - Bruce Colthart

I think Daniel has a great point. I think because designers tend to be people who are very good at appreciating many different styles, we find it very hard to choose a style for ourselves. I went through at least a few dozen different versions of our wedding invitations before settling on a final design - and that's before even considering typefaces! But it is this same open mindedness that allows us to adapt quickly to a wide variety of clients' tastes, and create something beautiful for each. - Jeanette Bosman

I think when I design stuff for myself, I often get so tired of the flip-flopping that I end up doing something simple just to get the project done and off my to-do list. - Jeanette Bosman

I agree with everything in here. To add, after much intropsection, I think another part of the problem is that while I go through logical steps of analysis, ideation and creation when doing external work, when I sit down to do my own work, I want to just be able to sketch a little bit to get a general idea, then just start writing code/photoshopping the finished result. It's as if I'm a... more... - Kevin Fox

What!? And give up control?? NEVER! :) :) :) - Jeanette Bosman

when designing something for a client, they set constraints. you don't have many of those constraints when designing for yourself. the worst thing a client can tell me is to do anything i want. - daniel silveira

Perhaps you have little time to spend on the projects for yourself, and end up pushing them out before they've really had enough time to bake? - DGentry

Yeah Daniel S. – you're so right. Constraints (a term i use alot but not when i needed it here) are key, and without them, projects can go on forever. - Bruce Colthart

*nods* So true. Great tweet and discussion. - Micah

because you are your toughest client. and your harshest critic. - chrisofspades

Thanks to Casey for implementing this. http://friendfeed.com/casey - Bret Taylor

36 more comments

Just to avoid a clutter? Thanks Casey, but wouldn't it be easier to adjust the style (or use a js trick)? (Just suggesting of course) :) - directeur

Excellent addition, thanks! - Aaron Draczynski

YAY! - Chris Charabaruk

Uh, bug. Nasty bug. I can't see some of my services, the box is taller than my screen. You should columnize them or make the list scrollable or something. - Chris Charabaruk

I wish we could choose more than five. :-( - darnell from BuddyFeed

Details of my bug: http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Chris Charabaruk

We can still only choose 5? :( - Chris Charabaruk

awesome thanks guys - Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど

Yep, only five for now. We have gotten lots of feedback that the icons became useless when there were too many because you couldn't find the useful profile pages within the countless imported feeds. This lets you choose the few that have the most relevant profile info, but keeps the icon explosion from happening. - Bret Taylor

But I loved the icon explosion!  - darnell from BuddyFeed

I like this, and five is plenty for me to be able to get a sense of someone. thank you! - holly #ravingfangirl

Very cool Thanks! :-) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Wow, nice. - Arawak

It's nice to have the choice. Thank you. - Rick Cogley

minor problem: can't save when services exceeds screen size. - AJ Batac :)

AJ: Ctrl-(mouse scroll wheel). Although, it gets pretty unreadable. - Chris Charabaruk

that needs to be fixed. - Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど

hmmmmm -[ - Chris Loft

Yay! Thanks for the choice =) - FFing Enigma

Again. This is the same issue we had with the Rooms dialogue in the old interface. Didn't anyone check this first? What freakin resolution do the FF devs run at, anyway? LOL - Rah-PM 2012

Rah, I'm 99.7% sure they use portrait mode on their monitors. - AJ Batac :)

You'll take your five icons...and you'll like it! Thanks for the new feature. - Mark Krynsky

Chris Charabaruk: some of us on macbook pros and other machines don't use scroll wheels. i agree with others that the truncation bug needs to be fixed. and, only five choices defeats the purpose of adding any more. some of us already have more services set up are used to seeing them. don't limit everybody in the process of simplifying it for a few, if it can be helped. thanks. - sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq

Bret, Casey, thank you for this. Can you either make the list of services on the new screen either scrollable or in a smaller dialog box with a scroll bar? There's a bug that if you have a lot of services you cannot see the bottom of the list. :-( - Kol Tregaskes

Love this, but can't use it because I use too many services. I can't scroll down the list. - Thomas Hawk

A vertical screensize of 1200 pixels fixes mine. Your mileage may vary. I chose more than 5 services and let FriendFeed pick, presumably the way it can, had i chose less than 5. - John Lam

Ok, I logged on on a PC and used the ctl scroll wheel trick and it worked. - Thomas Hawk

great! I only want to show the most important feeds in my profile; and not clutter my profile with too many feeds that I include - Jeroen De Miranda

Any word on the Iphone FF web? Or any news of an app? I can't see "my" discussions on the Iphone web version. - orionstarr

That's a simple but crucial feature, in my estimation. But if I had to be fussy (which I usually am), the option to (re)order them would be also be good. - Wayne Smallman

agree with wayne. I'd like to draw more attention to my blog, and less to my twitter ;-) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

+1 Neil - Richard Akerman

Now if we could just select the order they display in - a' la Google Profile. Speaking of Google Profile... is FF planning on adding that to the list of services? - Alexander Grundner

This thread was discussed on the FFundercats (http://www.ffundercats.com/2009...) - Josh Haley

not a feature i couldn't live without.. but still nice to have the option. thanks! - Peter Efland

In my top 5 was facebook by default! #friendfeedfail - Jordi Rosell

The services dialog is taller than my screen too. Please make it scrollable. - Morton Fox

Biz writes, "Every time someone wrote a reply Twitter had to check and see what each of their followers' reply setting was and then manifest that tweet accordingly in their timeline—this was the most expensive work the database was doing and it was causing other features to degrade." - Louis Gray

65 more comments

But on FriendFeed, every time you see an update, FriendFeed checks if you subscribe to someone, and if you have hidden any service, or even any specific blog from any service. - Louis Gray

FriendFeed knows when you post an update who can see it and who can't see it, based on who is following, and what services they have opted into or out of. And when you think of how many different ways the database has to be set, the unlimited power is very impressive. - Louis Gray

FriendFeed checks by list, by service, by name of service, and can even check by if something is liked or not, how many times, has comments, and how many, and who from, if you use the search. There is a ton of data behind the data. - Louis Gray

Math is hard </barbie>. Sorry, but this seems like a serious cop out to me. If FF can design the DB to function as quickly as it does with as many selection parameters, surely Twitter could do the same (if, that is, they have the proper backend platform to do so, and it doesn't look like they do). - FFing Enigma

And yet, FriendFeed continues to add features and have near-flawless uptime without slowness. - Louis Gray

I agree...it is a major copout. We have been using that technique in online chat systems since the early 1980's. It is not difficult and does not take as much power as @biz seems to be implying. - Semipro

I am serious. They had downtime last week, and that was a blip. And what slowness, Glen? (Referring to FriendFeed) - Louis Gray

Twitter's was. Not FriendFeed's. - Louis Gray

My comments should have run together. Tina helpfully interrupted. :) - Louis Gray

Yeah, the "And yet, they continue..." sorta started down the road to Ambiguity. - Ken Sheppardson

(Edited for clarity) and Glen, look forward to that happening. - Louis Gray

@ in the middle must be a lot less frequent than @ at the beginning thus saving processing power - Matsis

But a beginning @ is index 0, there's no seek time compared to an any position @. - Micah

also I believe a fair comparison would be twitter removing the @ replies to all (lame) with FF removing FoaF entries from lists other than the home feed. And twitter search is real time - that's probably eating up processing power - Matsis

Good point re: Friend of a Friend, Matsis. FriendFeed already has to check if you have it enabled or not, and then if you have it enabled for a specific friend or not, and then, execute. I neglected to mention that. - Louis Gray

Leather: When the "see all @ replies" was an option, Twitter had to decide how to handle @ replies (whether to propagate the tweet to you or to hide it, depending on your setting), which is expensive to the database. So, either they make everybody see all @ replies (which changes the setting of 98% of the users), or they sacrifice the 2% - Andre P. Siregar

Micah I think twitter's point was that they didn't want to go check the setting (too much work for them) so they removed it. We b*itched and moaned so they gave back something less than what was. Or in other words, if the feature is available, and Oprah has a back and forth with aplusk (say replies 10-15 times), twitter dies. Also what Andre said :) - Matsis

This is a good lesson for all comp sci students. The @-reply was not a feature Twitter had when they first launched. It's sort of a hack from the community that later got incorporated. But the architecture didn't anticipate this feature. And now it's hard to change the foundation when the house has been built - Andre P. Siregar

Andre, I also think it's fair to say (many have stated this many times) that the whole of twitter's original architecture wasn't built with the anticipation of its current use. - Micah

I think it all has to do with the schema-less design on top of MySQL FriendFeed is using. They're simply making smarter choices ahead of time, rather than reactive choices. - Jesse Stay

So, by the presumed logic, no one's going to a see any new features that involves a follower dependent setting regarding anything tweet in stream. Well, ok then. - Micah

Jesse, I have no doubt Friendfeed made smarter design decisions. When Twitter started the whole micro-blogging thing nobody really knew back then how it was going to grow and be used (now Twitter is much more than just about "I'm having lunch"). So when Friendfeed started, I'm sure they took some lessons learned from Twitter and others - Andre P. Siregar

Micah, yes regarding Twitter's original architecture. IIRC, Digg went through the same re-architecting exercise a few years back when their users started to skyrocket. - Andre P. Siregar

It's typical to have to re-architect a system once you realize how much the userbase is skyrocketing. Ideally you've constructed it in such a way so that you can rip out modular pieces and replace them as necessary. It seems to me that the whole of Twitter's backend is a much more serially constructed system, which is why they have to have complete system outages still now at three... more... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Leather, here is what Bret talked about for their MySQL implementation: http://bret.appspot.com/entry... - Louis Gray

This thread is fascinating. I'm learning. - joey

And though I wasn't on Twitter to see it, Robert suggests that they've been seeing these problems since he had about 1500 followers. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Rob: that's absolutely true. Twitter was crashing even back in 2006. The architecture they chose was always horrid. It's getting better, actually, but still is having sizeable problems. Friendfeed has been down twice, once for an hour, and once for more than an hour because of a power failure that took down the entire data center. (At least that I remember). Twitter seems like it was down every day in 2008 and even this week has been down more than friendfeed has ever been down. - Robert Scoble

It's hard to compare the two systems DB functionality because of the lower traffic FriendFeed has compared to Twitter. - Rick Cogley

Rick, you can compare them based on the time of their lifespan though, and FriendFeed is doing much, much better. See the interview Scoble and I did with them last year when they had a very similar user-base to FriendFeed's. - Jesse Stay

Rick: absolutely NOT true. Friendfeed today has MUCH higher traffic than Twitter did two years ago. - Robert Scoble

It is easy to look at the total user base and make excuses for Twitter, but what I'm talking about is the fact that FriendFeed is accomplishing much more complex tasks, and not missing a beat. Even when they are 10 times bigger than they are today, I expect they will scale smoothly, because of their talent and their track record. - Louis Gray

Leather: I'm assuming the difference is with the amount of WRITE operation in the database (which is much more expensive than parsing) - Andre P. Siregar

I would love to read how friendfeed has architected itself to avoid the problems twitter is having. - ian kennedy

Traffic may be one thing, but I would venture to guess the activity in the database is higher in FF than in Twitter for the same number of users - Andre P. Siregar

ian: on friendfeed there is more metadata to study and filter with. I can say "show me all items that mention Obama" on both services, but only on friendfeed can I also say "and display only those items that have a like or more." That is how friendfeed can remove a major amount of spam (and I use it all the time). Spam doesn't get likes. Another way? - Robert Scoble

On friendfeed I can delete any comment underneath one of my items. So I can help keep my corner of friendfeed clean. And if I see any underneath, say, your items, I can let you know about it. But what about on Twitter? We can't do shit about spam except report it and hope that @biz or someone gets to it. - Robert Scoble

Leather: Twitter is more than three years old. Friendfeed is just about 1.5 years old. You aren't factoring that in. Go and compare the two services all along at the same age. I don't compare my 1.5 year old to a three year old, and neither should you. That's a HUGE mistake you are making. - Robert Scoble

When Twitter was 1.5 years old it had fewer users than friendfeed and was FAR LESS COMPLEX yet it was going down about 100 times more often than friendfeed is today. Twitter's architecture was NEVER thought out very well and we're still seeing the artifacts of that. - Robert Scoble

Leather: I'm comparing friendfeed today to where Twitter was 1.5 years ago. - Robert Scoble

Leather: true, but friendfeed is a LOT more complex than Twitter ever was and it also has more users than Twitter did when Twitter was 1.5 years old. - Robert Scoble

Leather: then what are you arguing with me about? Heheh. - Robert Scoble

Scoble, yes the filtering on advanced searches is impressive (it even supports simple exclusions). I am impressed that they can keep it all running with every page updating in*real*time. Is each page an open session? - ian kennedy

ian: I believe it is. Leather: go to compete.com or any traffic site and compare. But adjust the dates. - Robert Scoble

Leather: keep in mind I've been on Twitter 907 days and I'm not going to do your homework for you. :-) - Robert Scoble

Louis, you're absolutely correct about FF accomplishing much more complex tasks much more effortlessly. Overall the leaders of this team are more effective. We had a saying back when I was consulting ISP startups "The network IS the business plan" In an online business that depends entirely on its systems for potential revenues, the architecture of the network becomes a model for the... more... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Leather: believe me, Twitter didn't grow that fast until the last year. The first two years Twitter grew slower than friendfeed did and had a TON more problems (and was even less complex). - Robert Scoble

Leather: 900 != 700. Heheh. That's a huge number of days in this world. And, anyway, both traffic and complexity are higher on friendfeed and amount of time down is MUCH lower here. So, by either metric friendfeed is winning HUGE. - Robert Scoble

Robert, here's the screen capture from Compete.com: http://twitpic.com/57bgl Y'all seem to be forgetting about non-Twitter-account web traffic. FF is flat; Twitter skyrockets. And yes, FF is "younger" but is built on top of Twitter so it did not start from the same "zero" point -- nor does it have as many API calls -- nor is it as accessible off-the-laptop (iPhones excepted). - Kathy E Gill

Kathy: you have NOT shifted the graph to show equivilent times. At 4/2009 Friendfeed is STILL far younger than Twitter was at 4/2008. Shift the graphs and come back. Also, at 1.5 years into its life Twitter didn't have that many apps either and Twitter's API is far more simplistic than friendfeed's is. Twitter didn't take off until after it was two years old. Friendfeed is already growing faster. And who cares what it is built on top of? Twitter was built on top of blogs and we don't hold that against it. - Robert Scoble

Kathy: Benjamin Golub of FF wrote fftogo.com. FriendFeed on any phone. - Johnny

Twitter started March 21, 2006. Friendfeed started October 1, 2007. You must shift the charts to compare apples to apples. - Robert Scoble

I just don't understand why it's so hard to compare apples to apples. If you want to compare the two companies, you have to compare them at similar stages in their lifecycles. it's really simple. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Rob: because our tools make it hard to do the comparison. But I was there and saw how Twitter grew. Twitter was crashing before it even got to the famous SXSW and I only had something like 1000 followers then (and that was in March of 2007). - Robert Scoble

I use fftogo almost every day. and I use the IM on the other days (twitter isn't really even sophisticated enough to keep their IM service running) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Not to mention email - Johnny

I don't know about that Robert. We can grok how to compare money from today to money in 1920. We should be able to adjust stats about companies in our brains. We don't compare the revenues of a 3yo company to the revenues of a 30yo company, right (unless the 3yo is performing Outrageously). I haven't heard a single person disagree with what you've said about "the old days" of twitter either. So I can only assume that it must be true. These problems don't sneak up on a company. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Rob: Twitter's management will admit they've always had technical problems. Remember, their architect was fired (Blair) and @ev admitted that it was a test project that they never expected to get so big. - Robert Scoble

Ok, well the first step to getting well is admitting you have a problem, right? Never expecting a thing to get so big is a lack of vision, and not a very good quality for a management team IMO. Since they never expected it, and now that it is, they should be stepping aside as they are certainly no longer qualified to lead it. And THAT is the true sign of success of management teams.... more... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Choose Success, not failure. But, it's interesting to note that "fail whale" and twitter are synonymous. Fail is practically in the name. And that needs to be corrected. It affects team spirit and morale, and causes it to become a vicious cycle. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Rob: you have to go back in @ev's history, though. Remember when he started Pyra? They made Blogger. Remember how often it was down? A lot, just like Twitter. How slow it was? Very. How much spam it had? A lot, just like Twitter. Yet it made Ev a lot of money, just like Twitter will. So, since he's been down this path before, why not repeat? It actually doesn't make sense to over... more... - Robert Scoble

And that's where I come back to the lack of vision. If you "aren't sure" then you don't have the vision. You're right that it doesn't make sense to over engineer something if you have doubts, but if you have doubts, why jack with it? But in some sense it does make sense to over engineer things, because in a pinch you can often sell the company for the technology that's running it to someone who has a different vision for it, someone who knows what to do with what you've built. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Robert, I was talking about now, but I see your point about comparing two years ago. However, it's still hard to compare two different systems, different db's, different programming languages, different ways of indexing data, etc, in my opinion. It's pretty apparent that FF has been very stable, comparatively, however. - Rick Cogley

lots of testosterone on this thread, did we at least all agree that twitter's "organic architecture" sucks now just like it did from inception & friendfeeds "designed architecture" should scale nicely just like it has from inception? - mike "glemak" dunn

Mike, yes, agreed on that. ;-) - Rick Cogley

FriendFeed enthusiasts in Scoble's network agree that it's better than Twitter! Film at 11. - Christian Crumlish

jQuery is worth your time, folks (if you know what it is, but don't know it). That's all I'm saying. - Micah

is jquery better than prototype? I have used prototype a lot without any complaints, but have no experience with jquery. - Chip Ramsey

Correct. Just for bookmarking tweets. - Nishant

"One of the more pleasant rain smells, the one we often notice in the woods, is actually caused by bacteria! Actinomycetes, a type of filamentous bacteria, grow in soil when conditions are damp and warm. When the soil dries out, the bacteria produces spores in the soil. The wetness and force of rainfall kick these tiny spores up into the air where the moisture after a rain acts as an aerosol (just like an aerosol air freshener). The moist air easily carries the spores to us so we breathe them in. These spores have a distinctive, earthy smell we often associate with rainfall. The bacteria is extremely common and can be found in areas all over the world, which accounts for the universality of this sweet "after-the-rain" smell. Since the bacteria thrives in moist soil but releases the spores once the soil dries out, the smell is most acute after a rain that follows a dry spell, although you'll notice it to some degree after most rainstorms." - Keith Pelczarski from Bookmarklet

Refresh your FriendFeed to see an updated first comment from Paul, including a link to RT this news: http://twitter.com/home... - Dan Hsiao

OK, I admit I'm dense. As an existing user will this help me find the folks I follow on Twitter? - Laura Norvig

Cool, is it possible we could have the ability to bulk import or non-FF Twitter friends as private feeds so we can track them in FF? :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Laura, existing FriendFeed users should just go to http://friendfeed.com/friends... and click on the Twittter (and Facebook and Google) icons to find their friends. Kol, not yet, but I'm hoping to add something like that soon (improved imaginary friends). - Paul Buchheit

Thx, Paul - guess I haven't been to that page since the launch. btw, I'm definitely coming around to the new friendfeed (colors notwithstanding). - Laura Norvig

Great to see the standards working -OAuth fro Gogole and Twitter login on Friendfeed - Kevin Marks

That's a great tool, Paul! Found a few from Twitter and Facebook I didn't realise were on FF...:) - WoH: Minding her Steves

Oh man, that is suh-weet. Works really well. - Laura Norvig

Paul, that would be wonderful, thank you. I'm keen to use FF as a kinda Twitter client. I'd love the ability to import my group I've created on Tweetvisor too but that would additionally require exporting facilities from Tweetvisor, and from asking them they've told me it's low priority (which is fair enough). - Kol Tregaskes

That's fantastic! Sharing with all of my not-yet-friendfeedified twitter friends. Thanks, Paul! - Eric Johnson

This IS good. Thanks for the hard work, Benjamin Golub. - Micah

this is fabulous!!! - Angela P.

It's so convenient for new comer like me! - tsssimon

Just tried it and it works great. - Iván Abrego

i have tried this too and am richer by 33 Twitter friends - jagannath rao

Nice work. Keeps getting better around here :-) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

WOW! 313 new Twitter people! Amazing what the OAuth did. Amazing. That just completely Rocks! - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

That was just too easy, and found a bunch of Twitter people. I just subscribed, but I hope they participate. I'm sure I'll have to trim later. - Eric

Thanks for everything Benjamin and the others, that is really great. :) - Alp

I was subscribed to exactly 100 of the people I follow on Twitter. Added 93 more. Funny, this is actually helping me find people I *don't* want to follow in either place. - Laura Norvig

I'm looking forward to the "advanced imaginary friends" section which lets me as an existing FriendFeed user view all the twitter updates from people that don't use FriendFeed. - Brian Sloane

Some time ago I spent lots of time in removing my Facebook-Friendfeed integration, and didn't succeed, Facebook refused to remove it. Since that - no info about any other my services to Facebook, ever. - orie

Happy to hear that there will be an improved imaginary friend option! - Jacob

The improved imaginary friend feature will be great. No need to visit Twitter much then! - Pinksy

FriendFeed is constantly bringing new value to the service. I'm loving it! - Amie Gillingham

its relay cool - Kaspar Minosiants

great idea - andy brudtkuhl

Oh Thanks i was looking for something like this - Asahi

Is the imaginary friends feature completely disabled for the moment? Or am I just not looking in the right place? - Mark Jacobs

Mark: imaginary friends have been replaced by groups. - Robert Scoble

When is OpenID coming up? - Mohammad Abdurraafay

This feature is AWESOME :) Bravo! - Iain Baker

I just imported 8,000 new Twitter friends. Worked MUCH BETTER than last time. - Robert Scoble

Smart move guys. A quick way to grow FF users is to tap into the current hot properties. Can't believe other Social Networks are so slow to respond. - Neill Adamson

Paul, is there a way to sync it so that people I no longer follow on Twitter are unfollowed on FriendFeed? - Jorge Escobar

Great news on the advanced imaginary friends. That plus the ability to comment back to Facebook posts as easily as we reply to Twitter would be killer. - Kevin Kuphal

Finally! :-) - Richard Joerges

Not sure why this wasn't implemented a while ago but it's a welcome addition. - Jason Williams

None of my Facebook contacts are on ff. - JECO Photo

So how do existing FF members use it? - Tiffany Monhollon

Ca passe 50 fois par jour ce truc là sur FriendFeed ! C''est pas possible d'arr^ter, j'en ai marre de le voir franchement ... ^^ - Jean-Marie Gall™ from twhirl

Tiffany, existing FF members should go to http://friendfeed.com/friends... to find their Twitter, Facebook, and Gmail friends. - Paul Buchheit

Encore ?? C'est pas possible ! ;( - Jean-Marie Gall™ from twhirl

RT'd ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

@Robert cannot seem to do that with groups. What I want to do: Concentrate different RSS feeds (e.g. newswires) which do not necessarily have an account in any other social network into one imaginary friend's collection of feeds. - Mark Jacobs

Mark, "groups" (formerly "rooms") are able to import feeds just like regular users (and imaginary friends). See https://friendfeed.com/xoogle-... for example (imports the blogs of all known xoogle startups). The only thing special about imaginary friends is that they don't have usernames (or rather we assign a random 128 bit username). - Paul Buchheit

Paul, the DM option on imaginary friends should perhaps be removed. Also, imaginary friends do not show up on the search dropdown list when you type in their name in the search box. - Kol Tregaskes

Paul, is it possible to automatically create "imaginary friends" from twitter following list? What I would like is to read all my Twitter in FriendFeed; many of twitterers though are not on FF, so I have to create them by hand which is tedious. Also, it would be nice to allow to add them to some special list. - Ihar Mahaniok

Ihar, see my comment up in the middle and Paul's reply. Looks like FF are working on it. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Nice tool, discovered some more contacts ! - François Granger

love this guys wonderful - Thomas Power

This must be the reason for all the new follows I've been getting over the last few days. Congrats! - Michael Fidler

That's actually quite useful. Thank you! - snapixel

Still would like an imaginary friend than making bunch of Groups to simulate peoples that doesn’t use FF. BTW, unlike the Facebook Connect login, when I tried logging in using Twitter, it made a new account for me on FF instead of opening my own (which also has Twitter activity added). - Natsuki Seika

ditto to natsuki... - Steve Austin

Wow, real nice and simply to add my Twitter friends :O - Rosenkrieger

To take the underdog's real strength you must destroy what you know and love and what other people think might be your strength. In my case, I've put far less effort into my blog in order to get into the real time web on friendfeed and Twitter. Now that the world is changing the strategy seems smart. Two years ago? I was called an idiot. Heck, Arrington said I needed an intervention last December. - Robert Scoble
