Amber said it best: if you think this service is shit, then GTFO. Stop poking your head in every other week and bleating about how FriendFeed is dead. Just *go*.
- Steven Perez
And while we're on the subject, here's a helpful tip for the social media set: if you see that no one is talking about the subject that you want to talk about, THEN START THE CONVERSATION YOURSELF. And get over the fact that "no one" is engaging your threads, you narcissist. Believe it or not, there will always be people who want to talk about your stuff, just as there will also be people who think your stuff is more boring that watching grass grow. Grow up and get over yourself.
- Steven Perez
Ah thanks Steven. Looks like a typical whine-fest even with a R.Scoble comment or two.
- CW™
What I don't understand is how all these so called experts don't understand you only get what you put in to a site. If you only cause grief and posts about negative things your going to get crap out of it. Want to have a site with a certain subject then add to it with that subject. Maybe you will attract others to it. Other then that.. I'm glad I'm not subbed to them and they are not in my feed.

I fondly remember the tweet from a person who was considered one of the top 50 Social Media Experts that described her absolute disbelief that a certain Kevin Rose enterprise was shuttering the servers and ending her employment.

To Dave Winer: so where are the interesting conversations happening? Any specific pointers? Definitely not on Twitter, and I subscribe to the smartest Twitter feeds -- I know what's going on there. The Twitter interface is intensely conversation hostile. The best conversations are occurring mostly in the comments sections of a few of the best blogs on the planet, as best I can tell, and there are some useful conversations on Friendfeed, if you look around.
- Sean McBride
Most of these people are not interested in conversations, they're interested in promoting their agendas. Twitter's perfect for them.
- Bill Kinney
Dave Winer started a group here on Friendfeed called newsjunk, which really didn't gain much traction in terms of provoking in-depth conversation and discussion. I imagine that his Twitter feed is producing even less in the way of meaningful discussion -- one can't really conduct substantive discussions on Twitter. Dave should check out Glenn Greenwald's blog on Salon.com (I know he's...

I'm not nearly as profane as I used to be. My grandmother accidentally taught me how to curse like a sailor as the saying goes. I've gotten really good about keeping it clean but Audrey's starting to recognize words so I need to get it completely clean. Discussing this tonight with Rochelle, I realized that my favorite profanity is, of all things:
So, yeah, I really, really need to get over that one. Thanks, movies!

Akiva, that's what my mother did when she really felt the need to curse. I was the coolest kid in French class!
- joey
...or you could just say what you mean. Like "ouch" or "oops" or "look what you did to my couch, do you think money grows on trees?" When you say what you really mean, there's no reason to try and appear more powerful by using profanities. (Full disclosure: I've been back in with religion for three years and I still have to catch myself after the first syllable. "Oh, fuuuuuuuuuuu...dge.")
- Jeremy (cropmarks)
Pick a more obscure language. I found cursing in Spanish when I encountered bad drivers wasn't exactly a smooth move. I had to switch to Swedish.

I usually go with "cheezits" (in case you dont get it, instead of jesus), "fudge cakes", and I'm trying to work in "crivens!" because its the funniest one I know. :) p.s. My bf's sister was all "We can't swear around the baby!" and she's the one that does it the most. >.<

I didn't have a hard time not swearing at home, but I cuss like a sailor when I drive. I knew it was bad when one day I was stuck at a red light and Joelito busts out the f bomb. I have since attempted to clean up my act.
- Michelle Martinez
my wife is trying to wean me off of this before our child is born in May. It's starting to work. I swear like a fucking sailor at home most of the time.
- Bill Kinney
My kids are in full-on copy-everything-they-hear mode, and I'm trying to convince my wife to stop saying "crap." It's not a very bad curse word as far as curse words go, but it's a bit embarrassing when my 2-year-old says it to the neighbor. As for me, I don't swear much.
- Stephen Mack
Well the "F-bomb" is one of my most favorite words, and I have to admit, I use it a lot at home (no kids here), but I've trained myself to pretty much watch my mouth when I'm out and about, and in front of my parents.

"Roy Edward Disney, the nephew of Walt Disney, died Wednesday after a yearlong battle with stomach cancer, according to a Walt Disney Co. spokesman. Disney "played a key role in the revitalization of the Walt Disney Co. and Disney's animation legacy," the company said. He died in a Newport Beach, California, hospital at the age of 79."
- Derrick
from Bookmarklet
Very sad. The book 'The Pixar touch' talks in great depth how Roy was instrumental in making Disney what it is today.
- Andrew Smith
Just saw "Waking Sleeping Beauty" which is a documentary about the struggles within Disney Animation in the age of Beauty and the Beast and Lion King, etc. A MUST SEE if you're into Disney and/or animation. A nice tribute to Roy who's briefly featured in the film.

To counteract this, I'm going to go buy a 42" HDTV tonight. Hopefully I will be able to get a new car within the next 6 months since the repo and my shitty credit were the only things keeping me from it.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
The original repo amount was $6k, I just settled for $2500. That's about 43% of the original amount. It was the fact that I agreed to pay it off within 30 days that got me the discount. I feel so proud of myself right now, and FutureSean will appreciate it when he's driving a brand new car come next Summer. :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
That is seriously awesome. I am proud of you being all adult and junk.
- aden
*hug* Yay! :) I kinda know where you're coming from (no repo, just lots of charge-offs and a lien) and I'm so happy for you! :D
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Gack. I lost a beautiful '62 T-Bird to repo that I still ended up paying for. Bleh. Doing the right thing, in spite of what it looks like others are getting away with, er, I mean, doing, is still the right thing. Good show.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
Oh I have lots more after the repo, just not as large of amounts. $500 here, $300 there.. They just add up and make my credit absolute crap. I'm tired of getting rejected for things and being laughed out of dealerships. I would like to one day buy a house, and this is my first steps to cleaning up the financial mistakes of my 20's.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
from IM
A great idea would be to not buy anything on credit ever again, so you'll never be in this situation and you'll get more for your $$.
- Dave Roth
I'll never be in this situation again regardless because I won't let it happen. Unfortunately credit is extremely important for buying cars, houses, etc. I need to clear mine and then get like an American Express card I can pay off in full every month to help boost it back up again.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
from IM
You only need credit if you're going to borrow money. Just stop borrowing money. Much simpler and way more satisfying.
- Dave Roth
Borrow money, like a Mortgage? These things are important. I will never have enough money to buy a house outright. Credit is necessary.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
from IM
A mortgage, sure, but that's it. Put 20% down on a 15-year fixed rate mortgage with a payment no more than 25% of your take-home pay. But you don't need a credit score to get a mortgage.
- Dave Roth
I don't think those figures are going to work for everyone, depending on where you live and the cost of houses.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
Also Dave other things rely on credit, like Cell phone contracts and the like. Not everything uses credit, but they use it to verify you are responsible.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Fix to this issue. Use someone else's SS#.. Just need to go to the local telephone companies dumpster. You will probably find tons of them.
- CW™
Dave, like Sean said, other things take credit. Most landlords check credit when you rent an apartment.
- Rochelle
LOL, except there's a good chance that whoever's SS# that is may even have worse credit.
- Victor Ganata
I'm not saying that having good credit doesn't make life easier, but there are ways to get things done with no credit score, which is my ultimate goal.
- Dave Roth
Yeah thats the gamble you have to take, but Good News everyone.. there are more for you to try. :)
- CW™
Dave, I was responding to your comment of "You only need credit if you're going to borrow money" and pointing out that there are situations where you may need credit but aren't borrowing money (like renting an apartment).
- Rochelle
financing a new car is the biggest scam going. the interest isn't tax deductible and you're upside down on it pretty much from day 1 if you fully finance it.
- Bill Kinney
Must be nice to live in a world where people can buy a brand-new car with cash and pull a 20% down payment right out of their butts. I'm in California, y'all. I make just under six figures a year, and I rent my home with a roommate. By the time I'm able to pay for a car with cash and cull a 20% dp on a home, I'll be 60. No thx, I'll stick to financing and paying out a bit more in the long run.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I'd never buy a new car. Not until I have a $1,000,000 net worth, anyway. The depreciation hit is too significant.
- Dave Roth
I'm still driving the car I bought brand-new in 1984, and still getting +31 MPG. No payments, cheap insurance, and being a diesel, low maintenance and (usually) cheaper fuel.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
I've never bought a new car with cash. Only 5+ year old used cars. the lack of a payment allows me to save money to buy another car down the road. my wife and I are slightly above average income for our area. Realize that regional difference make this more difficult but it is possible. It's very liberating to not have a car payment. do have a mortgage though, that I can't escape yet.
- Bill Kinney
I didn't get many of the ceremony, unfortunately, because I was part of the wedding party so will need to rely on the pro ones. But I did get some nice video including some video of my brother's first dance that I'm not sure he'd be happy if I posted on the Internet (although he did fine, you could tell he was concentrating on not stepping on Cassie's toes).

You know, every time this pops up, since FF hides the middle of the comments of which there are 804 or so, I see Akiva say "I'm sorry." at the top. It makes me wonder about how some things are just not possible to apologize for!
- Rick Cogley
wow, I can't believe tomorrow is Friday :o) no, wait, somewhere in the world it's ALREADY Friday :o)

Thanks Rick, thats what I thought.. does that mean I can start with the #followfriday on twitter or do I have to wait till it is Friday here in NJ? would be funny to post it from this post LOL all my friendfeed goes to twitter..
- David Gross
from email
David - yeah, you can get an early start.
- Rick Cogley
Rick, I am not good at lists or #followfriday but there are lotsa good people in this thread.

the thing that strikes me about this (aside from the obvious) is after seeing this thing pop up like 35-40 times since March its just occurred to me that I don't have any (guy) friends that a) would lick my nipples b) would lick my nipples for a photograph. Maybe I should get out more...
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
I'm a little scared that I've this has gotten more than 800 comments and almost 200 likes over nearly five months and I still haven't clicked "Hide."
- Scott of Two Countries
It's just a bit of fun. I mean watching how many comment, not the picture content (although I suspect that is all that was too!)
- Ian May
Allright, you guys ready to shoot "mirth and girth"?
- Rick Cogley
For the life of me, I'll never understand the emotion people have around this picture for or against. There's no nudity at all, not even implied nudity. Less dude nudity than a beer commercial or cigarette ad, yet there are people who really really really hate this picture.
- Matthew DeVries
I found a way to get a Tit Theme, and it involves this picture.
- Jimminy
Hahahaha! It's like a telethon. And after Joey Bishop goes off stage, they flash this picture on the screen. "Won't you think of the CHILDREN?"

I just had to bump this once more... gives me a whole new excuse to go look at Phoebe again!
- Mark "DerBingle" J
Hmmm, where do you think they're from? My guess is Japan...
- sofarsoShawn
The bumping algorithm includes things like novel people posting to it, in addition to thread age, and rapidity of comments. If the same 3 people are talking in a thread, it quits bumping because it's obviously a closed tea party.
- Matthew DeVries
I forgot, also you're a very handsome guy(saw the wedding images), I don't understand why you don't like to share your face. Rochelle is a lucky lady.
- Jimminy
Jimminy, it's an irrational phobia. No different than people who are afraid of heights, spiders, clowns, or Canada.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, now I'm LMAO at the fear of Canada. People are actually afraid of Canada, or just the fact they don't know if they're British or French?
- Jimminy
I don't think even Canadians know that difference.
- Akiva Moskovitz
If Friendfeed had sound .. this thread would be all licks and slurps
- Mattb4rd
Sorry Akiva, I think it was the display picture.. I have known male and female Akivas.. Oh and by the way guys I am not afraid of Canada LOL will be there this weekend.. Dave Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes...> - "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day."

I popped the 666 cherry and I will get 1000 also.
- Jimminy
If it gets to 1000 will Akiva lock it so it can sink from our feeds forever? Please?!?
- WorldofHiglet
I think locking this post would be un-FriendFeedian.
- Jason Huebel
This is the immortal post everyone who uses the service must see it so WoH it just wouldn't be good to lock it.

Not everyone see's it, only the people with true class do.

It is now September 1st, and this has not reached 1000 comments. I am sorely disappointed. Yet, for some reason, I am uplifted by the smile of this young man, who was fortunate enough to have such great friends that fateful day on the beach.
- Josh Haley
Quick let's add some comments... Gee that guy on the far left is not really getting into the swing of things is he?
- Travis Koger
Travis... bear in mind that we don't know what "main chubby guy's" right hand is doing, or where it's doing whatever it's doing...
- Mark "DerBingle" J
BUT WE CAN INFER WHAT "MAIN CHUBBY GUY'S" HANDS ARE DOING. BOTH OF THEM.
- Sparky
@Mark, of interest (well not really) is the location of Front Left guy's left hand.
- Travis Koger
The photo of Akiva in the jacuzzi with the Texas A&M cheerleaders would be so much more popular. Now if only someone would post it.
- Christopher Harley
Noooooooooooooooooooooo! Posted March 1st and we are still enduring the wrath! "Akiva's posts, now with more staying power than ever before!"
- Nicholas Kreidberg
YAY! OVER 1000 COMMENTS BLAAAARGBLBLLB

It feels like Groundhog Day whenever I see this.

Except that unlike Groundhog Day this is AWESOME!

This thread was how I discovered Akiva. ROFL... Y.M.C.A.! BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP! GAZE AT IT! DON'T LOOK AWAY! >:O I SED DON'T LOOK AWAY!!! ... ^_^
- Danny Minick
You have nothing to fear - I never look away.
- Sparky
On Fark, there was this one thread, that just kept growing and growing. On Fark, it was a single page per thread. And you could post images and gif inline. Well the thread wouldn't die, people just kept posting. I forget which one it was. Anyway, it got so monsterous, that few people going to read/post to it per day (which was only a handfull) accounted for 1/3 of the server load of the site. They eventually had to cull that thread.
- Matthew DeVries
I think everyone who has participated in this thread has 'culled' themselves privately.
- Akiva Moskovitz
What with all the copycat images this has inspired I hope our muse continues to stick around and not get lost in the shuffle of so many knockoffs.
- Sparky
SHUT UP SPARKY!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111!!!!
- Andru Edwards
I refuse to shut up about the glory that is this thread. REFUSE.
- Sparky
Yes, Vezquex, I'm jealous of those guys, it is warm there, nothing like a warm beatch..
- David Gross

Yes, Sparky, they do not know how good they have it there frolicking on the beach while we freeze up here.. Hard to believe it is only 49 degrees, feels like 29.. I bet it's at least 85 degrees on that beach.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate this thread is clearly not developing a FriendFeed iPhone client because this is a great stress test case. (It crashes BuddyFeed, by the way.)

Also it exercises the crap out of your thumb trying to scroll down to the bottom of it.

Do you need to appreciate the pic in order to appreciate the thread?

- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, you may have given some people more reason to keep bumping this thread.
- Victor Ganata
How does it give you thumb exercise? Whatever you're doing, why don't you either use the keyboard or switch to Linux so you can middle-click the scrollbar to jump to where you want? :P
- Tanath
actually this thread does not bother me because I get it in email and gmail groups them and starts new thread after every 100 comments. I have it autoarchived so I do not have to see on phone lol and just see when I look at my ffeed label in gmail.

disgusting? HOW DARE YOU, SIR! That is j-love! and it's beautiful (in it's own way.. a way that shouldn't be seen in public)
- Kyle Johnson
this is probably the most popular feed of 2009 in FF. lol.
- Bora Mesut PALAS
I think the one where Robert Scoble gave away money easily beats this one, but this post has staying power. ;-)
- Jason Huebel
I think that Chinese at FF post was a marriage proposal thing. They were all trying to bump the guy's photo so that it would be the first thing his girlfriend would see when she logged onto FF.
- Kamilah Gill
For the last 10 years, I've cobbled together a fictional book about each boy using pictures from that year as a gift; this is 2009 for Alex. It has pictures of FFers in it and a typo for those keeping score at home

A lifetime of happiness to you both. Congratulations!

It's too bad this cannot be embedded in a FF page somehow -- we could all watch the activities (and even better than being there) discuss in real time here. I guess though watching in separate window and discussing here is just about as good.
- Brian Sullivan
What's it called when a group sends someone to an event, to spy? Not in an enemy way like a true spy, but just to be there and send signals to the outside world. Maybe that's a spy. Or a plant! Is that what it's called? Maybe we should have sent a plant.
- Rochelle
Yeah, a mole! That's better. Do we have a mole on the inside?!
- Rochelle
Have a great wedding Cassie and Alex. And Alex, get off FF already, you don't wanna be late for this one! ;-)
- Rene Wirtz
Now the question is, will Alex pull out his phone and update FriendFeed like that guy in the YouTube video last week pulled out his phone to update his Facebook status during the middle of the wedding?
- Rochelle
Yeah, I need to start getting ready in a few minutes...my family is coming to my room at 2:30 and then we do pictures

- Rochelle
Woot Got in, after about 2-3 dozen refreshes, just like old school FF fun.

I bowed out since we are gaming in a bit, so hopefully other people can get in now. Someone grab me a screen shot of the two of them up there for me later? :D

dear pissed off students, i'm really sorry that the power f'ed up and rebooted the computers, but i can't go back in time and warn you to save your documents
I did it on purpose. Really. Because I'm the Mean Librarian. Yep.
- ÉllbeeÇee
We actually *planned* that outage just to give you a lesson in saving, really. it's for your own good.
- Archangel ωαřмaiden
my other fave, which I can now warn about, students who stretch and in doing so, hit the reset button with their foot. oops.
- Mickey Schafer
Could easily move the computers, and if they were using google documents their writing would be auto backed up at all times. And there are backup versions stored anyway. Just a matter of knowing where to log.
- Richard A.
had that happened the other day Mickey...fun times at the library! and me? trip over a cord...nah...if i had done that the power wouldn't have come back on :)
- Sir Shuping
richard power went out in the entire building and we have deepfreeze on our public computers so if the computer reboots everything restores to the original state...thus lost documents
- Sir Shuping
save early, save often ... and, no, not to the desktop of the public computer
- marthalib
You know, I never really considered making them use google docs. I make them use google stuff for lots of other stuff, though, so maybe that isn't a bad idea for in-class assignments.
- Mickey Schafer
Google docs is perfect, decentralised, and you can save local copies too. But an e-mail client does the same.Laptops are good too. If the power cuts out you just work off the battery and at least you have time to save what you're doing.
- Richard A.
I've progressed. I'm falling with my netbook right now, so small, so practical, and with 3g modem if there's no wifi :-). Four hours of battery at least. Perfect.
- Richard A.
omg i am so with you on this. deepfreeze is a terrific solution, but it does lead to some very unpleasant things on occasion.
- Luke Rosenberger
deepfreeze has saved me so much stress over the last 3 years that sadly when things like this happen...it doesn't bother me in the slightest. and the univ is actually kinda sorta moving to the cloud at least for the students. they're going with microsoft live so they'll have some cloud storage space
- Sir Shuping
i know whatcha mean. i feel bad for the handful of individual students who lose work in these scenarios (despite our clear warnings), but i wouldn't want to imagine what our information commons would be like without deepfreeze. we have tried to improve things by pointing the "my documents" folder on public machines to network shares on boxes with backup power and scripts that erase files in those shares that are older than 72 hours.
- Luke Rosenberger
Many years ago, I got a book of tips for managers. One of the most useful was: When working on the computer, save your work regularly. I even apply that to video gaming.

I go in tomorrow for my unemployment benefits review. Rah... I also have an appointment Friday with a recruiting firm, crazily enough for a position as a recruiter. And it's not in Iowa! Yes, this has turned into a running joke in my household now...
But it'll look good on your resume! And I won't report you.

"Kellen Clemens will start at QB Sunday for the injured Mark Sanchez, Rex Ryan announced Wednesday. Sanchez wasn't a happy camper when informed he won't play Sunday at Tampa Bay, Ryan said. "He's mad as a hornet at me," Ryan said. "But, again, that's good. I was mad at him, he's mad at me, so we're even." That was a reference to Ryan's post-game ire, directed at Sanchez for diving head first instead of sliding last Thursday against the Bills. As a result, Sanchez suffered a slight tear in the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee."

$500?? Really? They'll be luck to sell ONE for that amount. All it does is browse web pages, right? Does it do Silverlight, Flash, etc?

There is space in my life for a tablet device, however I need it to do more than the web. If Apple releases an OSX or iPhone based competitor I would consider paying $500, but not for a web-only device.
- Sparky
I'll pay $800 or $900 for a proper tablet. But it must do eReader, eMagazine, games, basically everything the iPod Touch does plus more.

"The more money I had borrowed, I came to realize, the more freedom I had surrendered. Yet, I still considered my education -- as costly as it was -- to be priceless. So now, motivated to go back to school yet determined not to go back into debt, I had to think outside the box. Or, as Henry David Thoreau might suggest, inside one."
