Just signed up around a week ago with livefyre. Have been more in listening mode but so far am really enjoying being able to really follow the live discussions.

You mean @replies are highlighted in blue? *mind blown*

Shiny! Must be better. Do they have a recommended users list? Can we get on?

I thought that was cliqset? Only like 5 days ago

In biology, we refer to that colorscheme as "aposomatic". It means it's poisonous and will kill you if you consume it. Unless of course it's practicing Muelerian mimicry, where it pretends to be a poisonous thing, when in fact it's tasty and nutritious, like the Viceroy butterfly to the vomit inducing Monarch.
- Matthew DeVries
And oh my Bob in heaven...they are totally committed to this "fire" theme. It's like a restaurant that goes all the way to the hilt, calling bathrooms "Buckaroos and Daisies" "Maties and Wenches" etc.

Well on the plus side, Livefyre allows you to report a user for things like "hyperbole"

Wow. That's ugly. I can't get beyond the ugly.
- Yolanda
I definitely am stoked to see live conversations, organized, too -- but I lasted about 25 seconds on the site
- Christopher Galtenberg
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh I get it now... It's threaded Twitter conversations... except without using Twitter kinda... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah... I wonder if it has the same 'noise problem' as FriendFeed does...
- Johnny Worthington
Looks like the type of site where the comments are going to be those of the YouTube variety.
- Yolanda
No time/date stamps, which made me a little confused, until I realized the comments were apparently last --> first
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
UGLY! No time stamps, can only see one conversation at at time. It think I'll stay here thank-you-very-much!
- Jeff P. Henderson
There are currently no fyres about sex. This site is either fake or not of this Internet.
- Andy Bakun
Doesn't really compare to Friendfeed as one of the main features of FF is still that it is an aggregator of all things. But there are some nice ideas in there. Will definitely have a look at it again over the coming weeks, hoping they will clean up the interface a bit. To little screen estate for the actual conversation and too much clutter around it.
- Mike Hellers
FriendFeed Comment is the new Yelp Talk. This tweet is useless without screenshots.
- Tim Jones
Is this a joke? It should be called HeadAyche.
- phil baumann
It's ugly yes, but come on guys, say something new. The ability to break sub-conversations out is interesting. They should look at creating new rooms in IRC.
- Kartik Agaram
Also, it seems like the conversations are more like IMs between a small number of individuals, seems like a lot of noise and not much true value... Could just be the quality of individuals participating of course... Something to watch, much like Google Wave in 2010
- Chris Reichow
I remember when everyone thought FriendFeed was ugly.
- Robert Scoble
Like Friendfeed, Livefyre allows people to join in conversations, but I don't see how it's better organized. I like the idea of kicking somebody off the thread if he/she gets too unruly, but I'm afraid someone might abuse it in the future and the result would be a thread that only the originator of the thread would like. I would rather have haters on a thread to show a semblance of balance. Livefyre's a great tool and hope to see more improvements in the future.
- Robert Sanchez Jr
It's better organized because you can find conversations by tags. So I can see only tech conversations. Here on FriendFeed I see all sorts of conversations mixed together. Also, LiveFyre lets you have threaded conversations, which makes long conversations much more useful.
- Robert Scoble
Wait, you can still see after looking at that page?
- Jimminy Fuller
Robert, you can really improve your Friendfeed experience by using lists. There's also robust search -- and metadata! I read that somewhere, at least. ;-)
- Chris Baskind
I think Robert's point is that FF lists only tag *people*, not conversations.
- Michael R. Bernstein
hmmm...Michael and Robert has a point there. It takes quite a bit of an effort to search for subjects/topics in Friendfeed/Twitter/Facebook as these seem to be more user-centric sites whereas Livefyre is more of a topic-centric. In Livefyre you can follow a topic instead of a person.
- Robert Sanchez Jr
Interesting how many people are focused on the look rather than the substance. This site has a lot of potential.
- Josh Fialkoff
Josh - Pretty is pretty important. I have to stare at that UI for hours and hours. It's best that it not make me stabby and depressed. I don't care if the site cures cancer, nothing is worth staring into that mess for that long.
- Matthew DeVries
This is a mess of a UI - If I'm looking for a real FF Clone, I'll go with Cliqset. It's about 2000 times prettier, same function, and none of those uncomfortably lame fire puns.
- Matthew DeVries
A comment to the effect that it was odd not to see a fire about sex impelled me to try to start one: "What do you think about sex? Join my conversation happening now on #LiveFyrehttp://su.pr/1LBCYf "
- SuezanneC Baskerville
Tags? People have to actually *create* those, and conversations are too throw-away to really have that done well, and avoid spamming (witness hash tags). That said, I have a saved search here on FF that shows me entries that have "protip" in the content, and it updates live. FF not having threaded comments is actually an advantage, it keeps things on topic and encourages creating new root entries as things diverge, or creating a room to centralize stuff on a single topic.
- Andy Bakun
I'll wait for the new UI in 2 weeks, I don't see anything appealing at all.
- Kol Tregaskes
Were a VC bankrolling these guys, there'd be WTF-AYFI meeting called yesterday to discuss this UI. Phrases like "not going to take this seriously" and "my money elsewhere" would be tossed about.
- Matthew DeVries
Ugly. Also unusable. Why is the actual talk box so narrow? Nothing like endless amounts of scrolling... I call fail.

We should call this a ScobleRoll. He shamelessly pimps some site and we all flock to it to see what's going on only to find out it's utter rubbish. Next he'll be like, 'Hey, want to have a personalized site where you can share information with your friends while learning valuable web development skills? http://angelfire.com/ is the way to go. Getting a demo now.'
- Akiva Moskovitz
DO ANYBODY NO WHY SCOBLE IS USING A DEAD SERVICE TO PIMP ANOTHER SERVICE?
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
gonna have to vote for FriendFeed - nothing that compelling on LiveFyre yet.
- Bill Sanders
I didn't like how the conversation was updated from the top rather than from the bottom like FF. Trying to catch up on a conversation was a nightmare with the text moving off from where I was reading it the whole time.
- 1x29
I can only imagine they are a little gutted to have courted Scoble's help / influence in getting their product more known when the initial feedback is surely what they knew already themselves [i.e. it looks awful! :)]
- 1x29
Fire puns are worse than the hideousness. "Is it in brush fyre or wild fyre?" The illusive sex threads are probably called "fyre crotches". It's also kind of insensitive since California burns to the ground every spring. Who wants to participate in a "forest fyre" about the forest fire where your friend grandmother just died. There's no RL analog to a Ff thread or Twitter tag that could offend.
- Matthew DeVries
Why wouldn't the illusive sex threads be called "bush fyres?"
- Jimminy Fuller
You can't swing a dead-cat without finding someone's profile declaring themselves a "Branding expert". You'd think someone would have told them how horrible and tedious punning up your brand is.

“Yes, the discussion at hand is only about an image of a celebrity on the cover of a fashion magazine. But the ability to freely discuss the provenance and technical history of a photo, including those with more crucial news value—say, images of detainee abuse, or Iranian missles—is a freedom we believe should be preserved.”

Looks like Demi has some Dummies in her camp. After the forensics, they just look like lying bullies. As if Demi would have been in on the retouching to begin with.

Good grief. They're lucky if they weren't killed. I hope they weren't hurt. That looks like a case of a poorly constructed warehouse to me. That kind of chain reaction shouldn't be able to happen just because of one little bump like that. The shelves fell into pieces and everything.

Bah, stupid share@ !!! I emailed this in at 10:30a on Friday... The interview went well enough: I got there 10 minutes early, the hiring manager got there 20 minutes late, and we talked for an hour. I don't think I'm a good fit for the company culture (it's a 7:30a-6p suit every day place, I own one suit), but I also don't know if I'm in the position to be choosy. Dave said he'd rather cut off the cable, live on bologna, AND move to Dubuque than have me working at a job I hate.

Sorry.. ma avendo il Water Bide salto un passaggio... Comunque c'è una precisa legge che riguarda gli oggetti rotanti (mi fa specie della presenza di tecnici e ingegneri...) che devono essere sempre Destrorsi meno in due casi..
- Yeridiani
ok .. non lo volete sapere ma ve lo dico lo stesso.. gli oggetti che hanno una vite sinistrorsa sono le pale dei ventilatori e i perni di trascinamento delle auto. nel primo la rotazione destrorsa dei motori asincroni obbliga a fermare le pale con una vita sinistrorsa. Nel secondo caso si vuole evitare che i cavi, i cui trefoli sono destrorsi, estendendosi ruotano a sinistra svitando il perno.. (evvabbè .. niente soddisfazioni per i geni...)
- Yeridiani
@Yeridani (applausi) sai anche che le corde si tengono insieme perché si alternano avvolgimenti sinistrorsi e destrorsi, vero?
- :peppe
anche l'attacco delle bombole di gas ha la vite sinistrorsa e in India tutto sinistrorso.
- gattorosso
non vorrei disilludervi, ma qui destrorso o sinistrorso non è un argomento perché non essendoci avanzamento dipende solo da che parte lo guardi, l'analisi parte dalla maggior facilità che la configurazione B offre rispetto alla A nel gesto di prendere un pezzo della carta

come non c'è avanzamento? Ogni volta che si tira la carta il rotolo gira nel suo asse.

Le funi metalliche sono fatte di trefoli formati da fili sinistrorsi mentre la rotazione dei trefoli...

So is that the new thing for female Hollywood celebs? Flirt with Ellen? That's fine if they actually mean it, but if they're just doing it for the publicity...
- Jason Huebel
And I'm referring to the little serenade that Jennifer Anniston gave her the other day.
- Jason Huebel
How is flirting with Ellen any different than flirting with Letterman? It's all for business and publicity right? It's all silly show business in my opinion and gender or sexual orientation of the host doesn't really play into it I think. The fact that two women can flirt on daytime TV is pretty cool though.
- pea
Dont like Ellen but do have a soft spot for Jennifer Love Hewitt.
- Robert Bland
True enough, pea. I have no problem with two women flirting, but you have to admit that same-gender flirting adds an element of provocativeness to the act (not saying it should, mind you). So it just irks me a little that Hollywood exploits that fact. I disapprove of the context in which they're flirting, not the flirting itself.
- Jason Huebel
What's up with the cut of that dress? It looks like it's cut longer in the front like maternity wear...

@Jason, I suppose it does though we won't get to a point where two women flirting won't be provocotive until it's mainstream and, though we like to rail against it, celebrities often serve to make something mainstream just by the sheer fact that they can draw a crowd. I've always been an equal opportunity flirter so seeing Jennifer flirt with Ellen doesn't even make me blink. But I do...

"Introduction Thirty-five percent of adults would like to know 25 stupid things about you. Actually, that's an overstatement, but 35 percent of your peers are actually using the sort of sites where that nonsense occurs. That's right, Pew Internet Research tells us 35 percent of grown-ups (defined as anyone between the ages of 18 and dead) are now using social networking sites. Of course that doesn't mean they're necessarily on Facebook. They might be on LinkedIn (a business social networking site) or MySpace (for musicians and goth tweens), or maybe they're on Friendster. (Just kidding; no one's on Friendster.) Still, the fastest growing group on Facebook is infamously the 35-54-year-old segment. And since grown-ups have quadrupled their likelihood of using these sites in the last four years, you might find this orientation guide to Facebook useful."
