FriendFeed should be faster again. We were had some network issues which caused a lot of slowness this past week, but I think it's fixed now. Let me know if you are still encountering any extreme slowness.

FriendFeed is dying for me. In fact. it's just about gone. I use it as a control room and discussion space for my Twitter feed, and a searchable archive. Discussion threads are down about 80 percent. "Likes" are off about 90 percent. There's no real time feed in from Twitter any more. Sad.
- Jay Rosen
Agreed, Jay. My personal life is in a bit of an upheaval right now, which hasn't helped, but the FB acquisition took the wind out of the sails for me. It feels like there's no future, or worse, a future wired up to the "friending" criteria of my Facebook account. I use the services COMPLETELY differently, however. Inbound updates continue, since they're automatic, but this is the first comment I've posted in weeks. Sad, indeed.

I like FriendFeed, but I happen to find myself using Twitter and IRC more as of late. I guess I've probably just burnt myself and others out, given that I don't seem to have much in the way of compelling content and commentary these days, and that I just don't feel as motivated as I'd like to. :(

Hi Paul, I know it has been a while since this post. But over the last 48 hours my Twitter updates have quit showing up in FF. I tried manually refreshing. Then I removed the account so I could just add it back in. When trying to do that I get the following message: "We could not find the given account" I haven't changed anything. Any thoughts on why this is happening? I haven't had any trouble until now. Thanks.

I'm finding that FriendFeed is fiendishly sticky. On Twitter lists do help, they make twitter better and all but but but-but I think a lot of users are getting more sophisticated in their web usage faster than Twitter can evolve their tech.

"We're almost clear of the aughts. Just one more week, and we get to leave this decade behind for good. But before we do, it's worth taking stock of the absolute worst gadgets these last ten years have given us. We haven't ranked our picks, but we have put them in a rough chronological order. Think of it as a guided tour through the various circles of gadget hell—and feel free to have a little guilt when you spot the ones you've owned (or still do). Anything we've missed? Share it in the comments. There have been thousands of gadgets released since 2000, and we're sure there are at least fifty more out there that should never have seen the light of day."

Apple Tablet Demo Coming in January; Devs Already Building Apps - apple tablet - Gizmodo - http://gizmodo.com/5433075...

"Silicon Alley Insider has it from a "plugged-in source in the mobile industry" that Apple will demo their tablet in January, and have asked selected iPhone devs to prepare high-res apps for the occasion. So, what exactly is the occasion? The first possibility—and the one that could put a welcome end to the endless fragments of tablet information that we've been parsing for the last few months (fuck that, years)—is that this is some kind of public demo. Apple's iPod and iPhone events have been dominated by apps since the App Store opened, sometime to a fault. If Apple's going to announce this thing, they're going to have app support."

To begin with, it’s actually signed by Bendis – that’s pen ink on the front cover, not some graphic design magic. As I opened up the issue, I was surprised to find on the inside front cover a letter from Bendis about “Siege,” once again signed, but this letter is personalized to me! Wha….? And while we naturally can’t be scanning in pages from the story, I did scan the inside back cover of this variant copy of “Siege” which showed the fully colored version of Joe Quesada’s cover to issue #1.

Google Wave is a failure if they can't dogfood the blog.

Raphael - what does it mean to dogfood the blog??

Jannifer - Eating your own dogfood. (When a company uses the products that it makes.) "On Saturday morning, Google confirmed that it was testing a new concept in mobile phones, writing in a blog post that it was “dogfooding” the devices, an expression that comes from the idea that companies should eat their own dog food, or use their own products." -- Source, NYT.

On second thought... Raphael, what does it mean to dogfood the blog? Use Wave instead of Blogspot for their blog?
- Mark Davidson
that's what I thought he meant by it. Besides isn't Blogger/Blogspot Google now anyway? that sort of counts, no?
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
Mark - Oh ok, I see what you mean now. Maybe that's what he meant by dogfood the blog... ?
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
All of Google's blogs are on Blogspot, and yes, they own it.

Brands Bet On Social Media, Not TV, For World Cup Marketing - http://moconews.net/article...
Bill Sodeman, atner and Oğuz Serdar liked this
"Big league advertisers and agencies are banking on the football World Cup in South Africa next summer—and the Olympics in 2012—to give a welcome boost to revenues. But increasingly brands are using social networking sites and one-to-one fan engagement, instead of big TV and billboard campaigns, to get their message across. The idea is, why broadcast to millions of fans when you can engage with them directly one-by-one?"

I feel the factor of 'TV engagement' and 'engagement by broadcast' is going to be around for a long, long time...

If you have an Evernote sync folder, can you delete the files from your hard drive after Evernote syncs them without the files being deleted from Evernote? I think you can, but I want to be sure before I start deleting stuff.
Bill Sodeman, Svartling and KURATA Atsushi liked this
I don't know the answer. But you may test it first with a sample file.
- yezi
You can configure the folder so that it deletes the files for you once they are dropped into Evernote. Go to Tools>Account Properties>File Import. Your folder should be listed there. Check the Delete checkbox.

- Fa La La La Lindsay
I dropped a 256 page, 8.7 MB camera manual as a PDF into my Evernote for Mac, and it captured only the first 45.5 pages. That's a bummer and if it were something critical that I couldn't easily get my hands on again it would present a huge problem. [Edit] See the video I posted http://friendfeed.com/e...

"Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash are all crack crimefighters, but when they get home at the end of the day, they still have to pay the bills, do housework, and unwind like any other person. Caleb Paullus' Super Not Super is a series of brief photo comics exploring the not-so-superheroic trials and tribulations of caped crusaders. Batman finds even he is not immune to the economic meltdown, the Flash fails at physical intimacy, and Catwoman unwinds with a little *ahem* catnip. Sadly, Wonder Woman and Supergirl couldn't be given anything more interesting to do than household chores. You can read the full comics at Super Not Super. http://www.supernotsosuper.com/"

"Cosplay (コスプレkosupure), short for "costume play", is type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. It's no secret that I'm a comics fan. If you're reading this, then odds are you are, too. I've been a fan since before I was able to read and have collected weekly for over twenty-six years. But, I have never worn a costume to a comic con. Just not my thing. To me, that is a different level of fandom, and one which I find fascinating. A couple of years back, I decided to turn my lens to such fans, and create a photo series, as a way of examining these Cosplayers. The following photos were taken at several comic conventions."
- RAPatton
I adore well-done cosplay. I don't think you have to look perfectly like the character, but take a lot of time and care in your costume. Fun stuff :)
