You could pronounce it as "bluecockatoo on friendfeed.com". Anyone who uses a service should know how to look up another user... - Lindsay Donaghe
why not put the whole URL so I can click it? - Robert Scoble
because there are situations you might want to share when it's not clickable... business cards are my immediate case. And for which I'd like to save space... - Lindsay Donaghe
even then, I found it is safest to put the whole URL. Most people in the world don't know how to use the Internet. - Robert Scoble
I like: "Bluecockatoo on FF"; optionally added URL http://friendfeed.com/bluecock... - Susan Beebe
@Robert, yes that's unfortunate. I hate putting ugly/long urls on business cards though :(. Clutters stuff up. - Lindsay Donaghe
How about Friendfeed: bluecockatoo ? - Andru Edwards
better, how about ff:bluecockatoo - Alemsah
we should make google add this ff: tag ;) - Alemsah
isn't friendfeed.com/spullara the same length? you don't need the http. - Sam Pullara
ff.im/bluecockatoo is short - Aviv
If people don't know what to do with the notation, it's as if you didn't put it on there in the first place. friendfeed.com/username is fine. It's not a new type of way to use the internet: it's still a website. Appeal to what people already know how to use. - Mark Trapp
Well if you're going to make it a pseudo url format that's also machine processable why not use this: http://code.google.com/apis/so... You end up with urls like sgn://friendfeed.com/?ident=spullara To be honest the only advantage this gives over just using the real url is that it's often shorter+cleaner. There isn't a redirector like tinyurl for it though - Adewale Oshineye
This is how I'm handling it on my business cards: my email is @agincourtmedia.com, my FF is friendfeed.agincourtmedia.com, my Flickr is flickr.agincourtmedia.com and so on. It's an easy-to-understand scheme, requires zero invention of convention, and Just Works. - Roger Benningfield

It's taken from the first line of the note itself, isn't it? - Akiva Moskovitz
yes, but I don't want it to be... on the website you can name them whatever you want. When you do that and sync the titles show up correctly. I'd specify the first line in the Windows app if I were creating a note but I'm using the web clipping tool and you don't get that option (it uses the local app to gather the notes instead of directly uploading to the website). - Lindsay Donaghe
yeah, i'm pretty sure that's how it works.. whatever the first line of text is in note becomes the title - Jasmin Smith
Right, that's how it works... I just am not sure why you can change it on the web version but not on the Window's client version. It seems like a pretty basic function! - Lindsay Donaghe
I think if you go to the top.. the "list view" (for lack of a better term) and right click the title, there's an option to RENAME... it changes the title without adding text to the screen shot. Is that what you mean??? - Jasmin Smith
The closest option I see is "Reindex" and that doesn't seem to do anything. I've right clicked on everything I can think of and explored all the menu options. It's just odd that that feature is left out! - Lindsay Donaghe
IDK... I'm using the Windows client and I can rename my notes the way I described above. I'm running v. 3.0.0.681 Reindex is the right-click option if you click on the title of the note itself, but when I go above that to the list of notes, (Creation Date -- Title -- Tags -- Notebook -- Modification Date) and right-click on the title of the note I want to rename, there is an option to re-name... but I don't think it was always there, because I had your same frustration weeks ago - Jasmin Smith
I think I found it!! I didn't know what you meant by "list view" but I stumbled on that and you're right, clicking on a note there does have a rename option. THANK YOU, Jasmin! - Lindsay Donaghe
yay! glad to help! - Jasmin Smith
Now, do you know how to import PDFs? I read about people doing that but it's not obvious either... do you have to mail them as attachments or something? - Lindsay Donaghe
You import PDFs by GOING TO BED. C'mon... let;s go! - Tad Donaghe
Tad I think you're on to something... I just told Shey the same thing... but he's too wired to sleep! Importing PDFs... i have NO IDEA! .. I don't think it can do that yet.. at least not natively. - Jasmin Smith
I just tried dragging and dropping the file into the client. Seemed to work fine. But it doesn't show you the pdf there... just the file link. You have to click on it. Not sure if the OCR works like that either because searching didn't turn up results on stuff I know is in the PDF. - Lindsay Donaghe

Wouldn't it be great if there were a Dos device name like clip: that you could pipe output to, like LPT: ... - Danny Thorpe
@Danny: Indeed. I guess it would be easy to write a little tool that takes arguments that it then runs and its output is copied to the clipboard (e.g., send2clip dir /b /s *.*). I might even code this up today as I agree it would be useful to have. It wouldn't be as useful as it being a device that can be piped to but close enough to still be useful. - Gus Perez
@Gus: If I could find my Dos black book I'd give the device driver a whirl... - Danny Thorpe

You fail if you reply "I cut off [body part type]" or "I dumped my ex [significant other type]". :P - Lindsay Donaghe
Linsday - over the last 8-9 years or so I've lost 50+ lbs. This is a really hard thing to admit - to say out loud though - because to say I've lost that much weight is also to say I was really fucking fat. (Sorry if insensitive but I'm only talking about me.) - Anthony Citrano
Lindsay, the guy who lives upstairs from me lost 35lbs in three weeks (He's like 5"11 and close to 300lbs I think) by cutting out soda, snacking, and sticking mainly to protein. Everytime I see him I compliment him and he told me today actually taht my encouragement helps motivate him :) - Mona N
Not 50+ (though that still sounds like a good idea) but I went from 260 to a little under 220lbs last year in about six months. I did it by being hardcore about counting calories (calorieking.com helped a lot) and running every other day. - Gus Perez
Chris: good list; your #2 is probably where I'd give the most credit for my own weight loss (although quite a few of the others fall under #2 for me) - Anthony Citrano
I was bulemic in my 20s. I would not suggest that weight loss program for anyone but it does work. - Trish Robinson
I have lost 50 pounds. I did t by eating less and exercising more. It wasn't easy, but i do recommend it. - Robert Seidman
Chris: that is an AWESOME post Trish: Many of my friends are bulemic and anorexic.. oh that and the Diet Coke and cigarette diet. DEFINITELY not recommended since their weight is always up and down. - Mona N
I lost 50 pounds via aerobic exercise (i took up boxing regularly) and a very, very low-carb diet. Took about 8-9 months. - Morgan
I agree w/Mona, Chris, that is a great post. - Robert Seidman
130 lbs soaking wet my entire life. No tricks. Must be hyper-metabolized ?? - Charlie Anzman
"I'm on this new diet. Well, I don't eat anything and when I feel like I'm about to faint I eat a cube of cheese. I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight." - DWP .... ;) - Brandon
I lost 50 lbs down to 150 on the south beach diet + working out a few days a week. I've kept it off for 4years so far - Mike Cohen
I'd like to know as well, actually. I did lose 20 lbs due to the Atkins diet, but my health started to suffer as a result, so I stopped. - Helen
lol Brandon - I loved that movie. - Anthony Citrano
Pure Ghee is my solution but I can' - Shahrukh via twhirl
Lindsay; I've lost 185 lbs to date. I'm actually getting ready to put up a before and after photo. It's a long road and it's not easy but there are plenty of ways to make it easier. Change your habits slowly, add exercise in as you can handle it and continue to move your routine up a bit. Oh and..belly dance. Find a class and belly dance. :D - Candace Holly
@Anthony... I loved that movie too. - Brandon
two choices really, cut back on the calories or increase the number you burn each day. Or a combo of both currently working off the 30 pounds I picked after I quit smoking and gave up caffeine 4 years ago. - Tony C
Candace, that's awesome. Congrats. - Trish Robinson
135lbs my whole life. Recently put on about 15lbs of muscle in a few short months. The lifting weights is easy. The eating enough to gain is hard. - Rahsheen Porter
About 12 years ago I went from 195 to 155 in 6 months, did it with healthy diet, morning runs, and weight training -- and oh yeah, NO BEER! Now I'm 195 at 10% bodyfat and a personal trainer - William Harryman
I've lost 30 lbs on Jennie Craig and exercise, and recently 20lbs from depression. JC taught me how little food I need to stay healthy. Once I get the taste of carbs out of my system the weight falls off quite easily. At one point I was climbing 20-25 flights of stairs each workday. The most difficult part of any diet (lifestyle change) is to stay motivated. I asked my associates to join me climbing stairs. http://www.flickr.com/search/?... - Russellreno
yes (it's 22kg). I stopped drinking beer regularly. - Duncan Riley
No, but I'm currently 3 weeks into a goal of losing 50lb by Christmas. 7lb down so far. - Sally Church via fftogo
I have no personal experience for you, but this seems intriguing: http://www.npr.org/templates/s... - Jeanine Walters
Lost 150 in a little over 16 months on Weight Watchers, plus I worked out 5-6 days a week for at least 90 minutes a day. Is it any wonder that I gained about 60 of it back? That schedule was insane, and I was bordering on an eating disorder. - Cecily Walker
I'm working on it - what I'm doing is very Atkins like (very low carb), but I'm doing it softly with allowing myself fruit and nuts. Low carbs and sugar intake seems to be the key - it's too bad because I love rice, pasta and bread. I do notice that I feel much better in general with lower carbs. My sticking point is exercise - I don't mind doing it, but I rarely make the time for it. - Vince DeGeorge
I went from 315 - 240 by 1) started walking 2) stopped drinking 2L of Coke a day 3) cut out eating fast food daily 4) started boxing 5) did 3-5 miles a day on the elliptical...that was in 2005 (it took 5 months to lose the weight),and have kept it off since (maintaining 240-245), on my way down to 220 (final goal, and I have too much muscle to think 190-200). Lots of water, stairs, and encouragement from friends/family helps too (and no "dieting") -- it's a lifestyle change, which means "permanent"! - Do You KNOW Clarence?
I once dropped a bag of concrete down a well... does that count? ;> - Danny Thorpe
Since this time last year I went from 355 to 270. Didn't join weight watchers but I followed the point system, and started walking, 4 miles 3 or 4 times a week. Portion control and low fat. - Kevin Shannon
The most important method is to lose the first 5 pounds and then keep doing what you're doing. Losing 50 lbs is pretty daunting, losing 5 lbs is fairly easy. Then you just repeat. I was talking to a friend about this and because I've got the intertia of being overweight with me, we decided that 5 days of daily exercise would likely throw my inertia in the other direction. - David Thomas
Wow, this is a great post / comment thread to read... I am struggling with weight gain (new problem - never had this before!) So this is great ...thanks everyone for sharing. - Susan Beebe
One time, I got sick and went down to 190lbs. But I'm down again to around 210-215 now. No, I do not recommend getting sick to lose weight. - Morton Fox
I lost 40 pounds once. I did it by being incredibly depressed, eating McDonald's, Jack in the Box, and frozen pizzas. I also went dancing at a night club twice a week where I'd dance, pretty much non-stop, from 11 until 2. The moral of the story: exercise. - Akiva Moskovitz
I lost 90+ pounds by strictly following the Atkins diet (basically staying in perpetual Induction phase). It took almost a year and a half to lose the weight. Went down 10+ dress sizes. But I went through a stressful time from Nov-Feb and was traveling every week for 2 months straight at the end of it. I have gained 40 lbs (I had very few "low-carb" food choices when traveling + a lot of stress). I tried going back on Atkins but it's not working for me anymore. Guess my metabolism has changed. :( - Lindsay Donaghe
Candace and Cecily - 185 and 150... that's amazing! - Lindsay Donaghe
Not 50 lbs but I've taken off 20 lbs. Trick is to eat right - for me that's 40-30-30 diet which means less carb, more protein and still get to eat some fat. That combined with exercise. It's not always easy, but you wake up each day and do your best. - AJ Kohn

The code is good until July 27th. If you've never bought/designed any Moo Cards, you should. They're fun, cool, and relatively inexpensive. http://moo.com - Lindsay Donaghe
If you live in the US? - Yuvi
@Yuvi ..copy and paste from the site itself; MOO is based in London, but delivers the things you make anywhere in the world - Candace Holly
Yeah, they're base in the UK not US. The code should work regardless of where you live. I've bought some cards before and they're really cool. They just recently started offering "real business-card sized" cards too, which is awesome. - Lindsay Donaghe
Like this post if you will use the code so more people can find out about it. :) - Lindsay Donaghe
Wrong (and monstrously stupid) on my part. I assumed it was another one of the cool-sites-in-the-US-that-make-really-cool-things but make shipping cost more than the product itself. Not their fault though - just their problem. - Yuvi
Not sure about using the "little" cards - wouldn't they just get lost in a stack? Glad to know we can MOO regular cards now, curious what users or recipients of the little ones think. - anniebinns
@anniebinns - the original moo cards (the little ones) are really more like "calling" cards than "business" cards. I wouldn't probably use them for business but for friends, family, people I met at parties and other stuff like that. People have found all sorts of amazing non-standard uses for them though. Browse the pool (http://www.flickr.com/groups/m...) and this: http://www.moo.com/ideas/every.... I've seen them used as game pieces and coupons/tickets and several other things. They're neat. - Lindsay Donaghe
I've also heard of people using them for street photography by giving them to people when they ask to take their picture and telling them they'll be able to see the picture on the url listed. Gives a bit of credibility and makes people more willing to participate if they can see the results (and get a cool card). - Lindsay Donaghe

Well, societies that shun 50% of their population shouldn't wonder so much why they're behind the rest of the world. May the best meme win in the long run. - Tad Donaghe

The pink on Plurk's homepage hurts my eyes. It looks a bit more scrap-book-y to me. - Clare Dibble

I friended a bunch of women a while back on FriendFeed in an attempt to correct the imbalance in my "gender axis" (great term, BTW). It started feeling a little creepy/stalkerish to just blindly friend females, though; it was one of the factors leading to my great friend-trimming of 2008 last month. - Bruce Williams
