@rogersdc / Chris, Google Reader is obviously been trying to become more social, but I'd really like to see FF come out with a bookmarklet that makes sub'ing RSS feeds to FF easier/faster.

MF/Kol = I live in Kingston on Thames. It's OK apart from the traffic (continually gridlocked) and the shops (girls just lurve them). Handy for getting into London both airports and out to the Thames Valley for work type things. Richmond Park and the river in walking distance is great too. - Andy C

phew.. - Paul Greer

Andy, Richmond Park and the others around there are the appeal really. Good place to go photographing and cycling while being very close to London I think. - Kol Tregaskes

Teddington (across the river from Kingston Upon Thames, is where I think I'd like to live. Just 'cos it's cheaper than everywhere else around it. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

@Kol many years ago, we made the mistake of asking an estate agent in Surbiton whether it was any cheaper than Kingston. She replied 'No - of course not. We are on the fast line to Waterloo' and looked at us as if we were dog excrement. - Andy C

I've checked rental prices in the area several times over the last 2 years and Teddington is definitely cheaper. I'm not buying, no way I can afford that. ;-) All a pip-dream anyway, need a steady job and I've not had that for a while. :-( - Kol Tregaskes

I really hope so but I guess the best I could ask for is something boring like a single cell organism. - Kol Tregaskes

The question could also be "Do you think the existence of alien life will be revealed by the powers that be within your lifetime?" - Brome

No. We're either too advanced to have not received contact or we're alone in this neck of the woods. - Jason A. Nunnelley

I would love it to be, I could use there medical abilities :) - Brendon Wadey

not in my lifetime. atleast I won't see them reach earth. Scopes have scanned areas 100s of lightyears away. So even if aliens exist they will lie outside the area scanned by scopes and even by assuming they could travel at the speed of light, it would take them over a 100 years to reach earth. I would be dead by then. - vijay

I'm afraid too that the boring microbe would be the most we can expect. - Citronella

of course, there is always the possibility that they're not from outer space, but of a parallel space - beings from a different dimention. - alphaxion

'Alien Life' does not presuppose intelligence, much less a faster-than-light space-faring civilization, so I'd be *very* surprised if we didn't find non-terrestrial life hiding somewhere in our solar system. - Michael R. Bernstein

I hope it is. - Joe

If I were an alien, I'd keep far away from Earth... - Jemm

Jemm, good idea. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

I would also be surprised if SETI didn't come up with something within my lifetime. - Michael R. Bernstein

They've certainly found a lot of possible Earth-like planets out there. - Kol Tregaskes

Then again, 'lifetime' doesn't mean what it used to. - Michael R. Bernstein

Michael, I'd like to believe I'll live longer than my grandparents (and be able to do something with it). But, reality is I've cared for my body as poorly as anyone from my ancestors and good nutrition and cancer treatment advances will only take me so far - likely no more than a decade. Add to that, it's looking less and less likely that expensive life-extending procedures will be legal or affordable in my elder years and I'm looking for other existence extension solutions... like faith. - Jason A. Nunnelley

And considering the Kepler Mission just started, we can definitely expect to find more earth-like planets. Still, could we detect the signatures of life? - Citronella

Isn't Europa our solar system's best bet for life? - Kol Tregaskes

Maybe Men In Black is more fact that fiction....??? haha - Jimmy Watson

What are the odds on us finding another large animal with a trunk that's not an elephant, here on earth? It could be similar odds on us finding "intelligent" life elsewhere. Another way to look at it: Maybe we already did discover life, but didn't recognize it as such, since it's not the same kind of life as we are or how we would define life. Maybe the rocks on the moon are actually... more... - April Russo (app103)

If the speed of light stays the same I have a doubt. :) - Mahmood Padura

Finding edible life in space would be great, as long as it isn't intelligent, or protected by intelligent life. - Wallace

If we do, the first thing we will do is declare war. But at least people will stop screwing around with racism and nationalism...now we'll have a REAL other to take out and/or exploit. - Neal Jansons

Nah, they are watching us, everyone knows that. They won't let us find it out that easily. I'd say we will have to wait for another 1000 years or so. - Faraz Mullick

Jason, I don't know how old you are, but I'm 39, so I almost certainly have another ~40 years to go. As far as garage biohacking is concerned, the 'scene' is now the equivalent of the Homebrew Computer Club ca. 1976. I think we're in for a heck of a ride over the next couple of decades. - Michael R. Bernstein

Hope so, but know will not :) - `aziz´ Alihan ÇETİN

I'd love it if it happened during my life time, but I don't think it will. - Bonnie Foster

I'd love to see some proof during my lifetime. Hard proof. - AJ Batac

Sadly, no. - Kevin Pedraja

no - mikepk

I sure hope so only if they're friendly though. had enough wars. plus we'd be easily defeated, die and extinct. - Kamamiya

Aliens taste like grasshoppers. - Gus

just keep working on π. - Shawn McCollum

I just hope so. - Duff

I go with April Russo, only if we are able to recognize alien life. As long as we keep looking for life as we know here on earth, we won't find any. - Nik

well, if you want a good idea of how alien life might be so.. well, alien to us, just look at plants - they exist in a timeframe that is imperceptable to us unless you really pay attention over a period of time, they communicate in ways that we are unaware of (gases and pheromones) yet we are only just discovering how intelligent and alive they are. - alphaxion

Hey, I live with an alien! He has an alien registration number and everything! - Ladybug Heather

why not?! - Betül

Or we can spend some time & money on a number of space travel programs so that we might become the Aliens that land on other planets you know something as fast as or faster than speed of light or maybe even a Stargate or a hyper-drive. Technologies like these might sound science fiction but so did flying & going to space which are facts. - Usman Bashir

unless some breakthrough discovery in physics is made that allows for faster-than-light travel, we are confined to our Solar System for the remainder of our lives (even if they are prolonged to more that 100 years). So our only chance would be to find life on Mars or one of the satellites in the outer Solar System (Europa/Ganymede, Titan/Enceladus, even Triton). Or maybe even a comet! - George Moga

hayır - Sinan İŞLER

Yes, but it will be some kind of bacteria, protist or such. - Oniony

Tonight I was faced with this scene at a party in Indianapolis for Monster Energy drink and I figure it is a good way to tell if you are a geek. If you first impulse is to ask the girls for help with your Ubuntu install, you are probably a geek. If you start wondering about what cool iPhone apps they use, you are probably a geek. If you want to ask them where the best places to find wifi in Paris are, you are probably a geek. If you want to invite them to a Facebook party you are probably a geek. If you ask them what they think of Android you are probably a geek. - Robert Scoble from email

Micah +1!. Better than me - sister in law just dropped of HP laptop with Vista and said "it's slower now." so I get to play with the cleaning of spyware and the uninstalling of a billion little apps that HP feels are so necessary that they should be part of startup just to ensure that it takes a full 5-10 minutes before you can use the machine. But I'm not bitter. - Michael Pardee

Ripping Hogan's Hereos DVDs to make H.264 files for later playing on Apple TV. It's good to carry on in comments here as it shows FF that there is a continuing need and use of the FF ways of doing things. If this was on Facebook, I could not send a comment to Robert unless he friended me. Things are just so much tighter and efficient here. - Keith Rowland

i'm on a pc, but i think tweetdeck just blows chunks. As for GR, it got hiccupy for me on Sun. but it's scrolling at my mouse settings now. - Admiral Anika

TweetDeck works fine on my end. Stashed away the mighty mouse and back on with a 3rd party mouse with a scrolling button. - Jonathan Kong

Google Reader always flakes out on me on Camino. For some reason, it's more stable on Safari. - Victor Ganata

Why are you trying to scroll? J, J, J, J. - Robert Scoble

Yeah, I never scroll. J, K, or space bar. - Graham English

Scrolling is so mid 90s. - David Fendley

While I agree with Scoble (J, J, K, spacebar...), I do like zipping through a column of GReader articles using my Logitech Revolution's hyper-scrolling wheel. But, on my Mac using Firefox, it gets "stuck" (the scroll comes to a screeching halt) on the current or opened article in the list. I don't remember this happening until recently, and, using Safari, I don't have this problem. - Brad Kligerman

It's much more usable in FF3.1 BUT FF3.1 is unstable... YMMV. - Jauder Ho from twhirl

A follow-up: Google reader scrolling has suddenly become "normal." I'm not sure why, and I haven't necessarily changed anything, but scrolling through a list of Reader entries using a scroll wheel is fun once again. - Brad Kligerman

I think some updates were rolled out recently as I am now having issues loading Reader on FF3. - Jauder Ho

I have been using Google Reader since it came out and have enjoyed it. I don't seem to have an issue with it, not with scrolling or anything. I use a theme as well, very nice. - Brendon Wadey

I like TweetDeck until it runs out of it's allotted API calls from Twitter. Then it just blows. :-/ I also prefer Feedly over Google Reader. :-) - Far

Cyber Monday crashed it! - Rochelle

what's Cyber Monday? - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Cyber Monday: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Morton Fox

Ah thanks. But you can't actually buy anything off Walmart.ca anyway -- they don't even have 5% of their items listed :/ - Shey, Jamaican of FF

While your at it, get up on Amazon.ca - Michael W. May from twhirl

@MWM Amazon.ca doesn't have any HDTVs :( http://friendfeed.com/e... - Shey, Jamaican of FF

they dont have anything lol - Brendon Wadey

Can Canadians not order from the regular websites? - Rochelle

They have the internet up in Canada? Who would have thought... - Sparky

Yes we can, but we would rather not pay 100s of dollars on shipping and such - Brendon Wadey

+1 Brendon - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Why do people hate Canada so much? Is it because of the Frenchies? - orionstarr

Yup, and the movie is coming soon, to explain and finish some more items! - Brendon Wadey

I didn't know that there was a movie being made! That will be wonderful, if its done right! - Carlton Hackett

"Funny, I first saw your Tweet on FriendFeed. I think you're missing the point of FriendFeed, but that's OK. Out of the 4,600 I'm following on FriendFeed you're on my top 10 list for most interesting. When I see you later in the month we'll talk about why you have FriendFeed wrong. Oh, and FriendFeed will never kill either Twitter or Facebook. If I ever said that I was wrong to say that. I see FF as an add-on to Twitter now." - Robert Scoble

the best place for meta-chatting ain't it? - Louis Choquel from twhirl

FF is just a complier. Twitter is where you get info firsthand. - Bob Blunk

Bob, I see a lot on here first. Lots of tweets from twitterers I don't yet follow. It's easier here to find interesting folk to follow. - Nicola Quinn

Nicola: I could not agree more, but FF still just mostly complies information that people enter on other sites. - Bob Blunk

LOL I agree w/ Nicola, and it begs the question is it even necessary to follow then? I suppose here is where you could say twittrt & ff comepete w/ eachother$ - sofarsoShawn

FF is more conversational; Twitter is essentially a multicast/broadcast tool. I find myself commenting/replying here, but posting new things of my own to Twitter (knowing they'll be picked up by FF). - John

John: just the opposite for me. i post to ff knowing it will go to twitter. ff is my dashboard at this point. - Brendten Eickstaedt

I'm the other way around due to twitter 140 char limit. - thomasrdotorg

yep. love that ff is smart enough to put an ff.im in the post 2 so that ur entire post is available to twitterers 2 - Brendten Eickstaedt

I find it kind of odd that Tim was responding to Robert's comments on Backtype, but didn't want to see "friendfeed with comments"... - anna sauce

Mostly but not always Bob. I posted a message here which started a discussion that was only on here. - Nicola Quinn

sofarsoshawn - Yes I still think it's necessary to follow people. I like to chat to people on Twitter I've found here. - Nicola Quinn

John, yes FF is more conversational but I like the randomness of Twitter too. - Nicola Quinn

Twitter is updates, fun and crazy, FF is the tool used to update all those applications like itself, and FF is information, updates, interesting, conversations.. - Brendon Wadey

FriendFeed is my Scoble filter :) - Sam Pullara

Scoble: Interestingly, I've the opposite view, and see Twitter as more of an add-on to FF. I read tweets from those I follow on FF, which significantly cuts the number of dupes I see. FF's real-time feed makes running an app like Twitterrific unnecessary. I haven't noticed a significant lag time between a tweet arriving in Twitter vs. FF real-time. - Lynn Garris

Robert: Good read. I enjoyed your discourse with Tim. I'm new to Twitter/FF (signed up, didn't stick & very recently returned) but saw your post about following you w/o an introduction, so here it goes: I work in the quantitative research department at an asset management co but hobbies include the sciences, political/economic theory & art/music. Usually my tweets are comprised of articles I find interesting, but plan on linking FF w/ Flickr etc. Anyway, greetings to you & I hope I pass the smart cutoff :) - Jeffrey Marsh

Cool! - Brendon Wadey

I'm using firefox... how hard is this supposed to be? - Wolfman-K

oh it just worked... sweet. - Wolfman-K

It does if the service is bleeding money with no way to monetize it. Six Apart is probably hoping that the Pownce community will move over to Vox - but they're so dissimilar that I doubt that very much. - Leo Laporte

29 more comments

Agreed. And I keep wondering whether the cavalry will arrive at the last moment and rescue Pownce. - david

I have my own ideas about the whole thing. I don't think it was 6 apart looking to buy pownce I think it was the investors in pownce looking to sell pownce. - Libby

well they (vox) didn't even through us a rope... nothing. - Wolfman-K

Did they offer pownce pro users pro accounts with vox? I thought I heard that the did? - Libby

also I can't believe they were bleeding money that badly... my understanding is they had no overhead, just two or three employees and the servers were on loan from digg... - Wolfman-K

it was typepad - Wolfman-K

what still doesn't make sense to me, is they had a pay service - twitter doesn't, why does twitter stay alive? - clarke thomas

Yea come to think of it, that is weird. - Brendon Wadey

and advertising.... if you didn't have a pro account, you got lil ads in the feed, which I thought were cool... I even clicked on them. - Wolfman-K

I thought all the value of web2.0 stuff was the community, the users... this just goes against everything I was taught. - Wolfman-K

I'm trying to stay positive but I'm with you ... suggesting that vox is a replacement for pownce is misguided - Nick Dawson

no startups should expect financing right now, I would say. give it 3+ months. - clarke thomas

so is sixapart a part of Revision3 or separate company? will leah & mike leave revision3? Seems that Revision3 has been making a lot of changes recently, maybe their own biz model is failing? - clarke thomas

I'm very turned off by VOX right now as well, Seems like shutting down pownce and not trying to incorporate it into an existing service is a cop out. - Zach Chisholm

what I don't like about Vox particularly, is....it's more complex, I liked the simplicity of Pownce - clarke thomas

Same thing happened with Stikkit last week - think it was even mentioned on TWIT ... seems like a trend. Are they picking up the "talent" rather than the service/users? - Nick Dawson

kind of odd though they all worked in the same cube farm? - clarke thomas

Far as I know, no "pro" users have gotten any special treatment. - Julie G.

Julie, according to the 6A blog, they’re offering free TypePad accounts for a year: http://www.sixapart.com/blog... - Guillermo Esteves

Hey everyone. Yes, it sucks that Pownce is closing down. It was a very difficult decision. The problem is that running Pownce is more than a full-time job, and Leah and I have come to Six Apart to work on some new technology that we're pretty sure will be ridiculously kick ass. While we're working on this new stuff we're not going to have time to maintain Pownce. So, rather than neglect the site (and the community) and let it atrophy we made the decision to shut it down for now. :/ - Michael Malone

That is in no way equivalent to being Pro on pownce...lol... sigh. - Julie G.

Ben had a great idea - give us the option to donate the pro fee to charity ... I'd greatly prefer that - Nick Dawson

@Mike -- I understand that this is a career move for you, but frankly, I feel like most Powncers would have still appreciated you leaving it up -- it'll be impossible to find the same community again and few people think Vox is a good alternative. You're losing dedicated users, which any start-up would have killed to have. - Julie G.

Agreed, makes no sense to abandon 200,000 or so people. - Mike Reynolds

Also, re: pro users, you guys will have the option of getting a pro-rata refund on the cost of your pro account. Emails should be sent out with details shortly. Alternatively you can get a free account on TypePad for a year (normally costs ~$150). - Michael Malone

yeah but all the value pownce had was in the community.... and 6apart just tossed it aside.... even. but all that aside. I am glad you and the gang are going to survive, and continue on to great things. - Wolfman-K

It's easy to criticize from the sidelines, but there's no way to know all the dynamics the Pownce et al had to consider in the process, and it's a little silly to assume the 200k users weren't talked about at least once. I won't try the 6apart stuff BECAUSE they're involved, but I'll try it if they do what they're setting out to do and come out with "some new technology that we're pretty sure will be ridiculously kick ass." - Matt Albiniak

@CommanderTim, absolutely. - Michael Malone

I think we'd rather have some more info, trust me no one WANTS to criticize.... Like I said when I started this ever increasingly long thread... I just don't get it. Help me get it, please. - Wolfman-K

on a personal level I get it too, which is why I'm glad Mike, Leah, and the gang got a good deal. But I've been told for a few years now that the value of online communitities is the community. So according to mike, pownce had 200,000 users, but 6apart thinks they aren't worth anything... If they are comfortable with just letting us scatter, so be it... but, it seems odd. - Wolfman-K

Also check out the bookmarklet if you are new to friendfeed... makes posting links & pics a breeze. - Wolfman-K

I highly recommend playing with the IM settings.FF has a lot of cool toys. - Andrew

yeah I just started playing with the IM integration today prior to the pownce annoucement. Pretty cool idea, but a bit awkward in fuctionality me thinks. - Wolfman-K

There's a ton of innovation here. Friendfeed has as much potential as Pownce did. - Mike Lewis

love the bookmarklet, or get Shareaholic for Firefox http://www.shareaholic.com/ - clarke thomas

been using shareaholic for awhile now, love it :) - Brendon Wadey

I'm going to add shareaholic when I get back to my Firefox, I'm stuck on IE atm... - Mike Lewis

Why is standard time lame? - Mattie Kenny

It's not it's just real-time is less lame. ;-) but it's just my thoughts... use whatever suits you best - Wolfman-K

It's amazing how Nokia has managed to keep the lid on this! I doubt it's the communicator they're launching. Has to be a more consumer-centric phone. - Bhavishya Kanjhan

Peter: I don't say "wow" lightly, but I can't say more. They did something Apple never does: trusted us with an early view of their devices the night before their big coming out party. - Robert Scoble

Robert, you're such a Tease! That's great to hear, because I just purchased a G1! :D - Daynah

9 hours Robert? I'll set my alarm ;) - Michael Forian

Give us a hint please ;-) - Simon

Although I haven't owned a Nokia in years and love my iPhone, I really hope this is going to be the N-Series touchscreen phone. - Ben Kessler

It doesn't surprise me. Nokia has been the leader in mobile innovation for ever. They've trumped Motorola, Sony Ericsson, LG, Samsung, all with ease... Whatever tricks they're pulling out will no doubt make you froth at the mouth. Just sayin... - Enrique Gutierrez

Oh crap I've also got a friend in the US to get me the G1, I better hold that purchase till Wednesday then! - Bhavishya Kanjhan

Simon: I've already hinted way too much. I don't want to get the blogger relations team fired. It's VERY COOL that they are treating us so well and giving us such great access to their team. - Robert Scoble

Only Scoble can get you excited about something you don't want or need (iPhone user here) - James Hull

James: I took a picture of the new thing from Nokia next to an iPhone. Believe me, I'm a MAJOR iPhone fan. More later today. FriendFeed'ers will get first look at the videos and pictures I shot tonight. - Robert Scoble

until Nokia does something about the god awful user interface that is the current Symbian - the hardware is not going to make a lick of difference - ben rogers

Good. I have my fingers crossed. So long as the alarm clock still works when the phone is turned off (the single greatest feature of every Nokia :-)) I'll be a happy chap. - mattpovey

Ben: you'll want to see what they are doing there. Let's just say this isn't the same old N95 interface. - Robert Scoble

Well now I am interested, a new UI, that will be something to talk about - Brendon Wadey

For years, the American cell industry was laughed at as being so far behind the rest of the world. Then comes the iPhone, and guess who laughed, while the Nokias of the world realized how small their advantage had been, and how incremental their products truly were. Nokia is no Apple, they never have been, they don't have the chops to revolutionize. Maybe they'll impress along the lines of an XPERIA. But I don't buy hype when it comes to Nokia. - Christopher Galtenberg

UI will be Maemo or S60 Touch, or maybe.... Android? - Simon

They have alot of work to do to catch up to the iPhone and G1. Nokia has been far down my list of 'must have' phones for a while - Alistair (alpinefolk) from twhirl

Robert - if its truly different then it will be interesting to see :) - ben rogers

You guys should check out the HTC phones, as in the Touch Diamond, very nice interface and phone. - Brendon Wadey

Might be a new internet tablet running on Linux... - yannick

@Christopher Galtenberg I guess that Nokia sell every day the same amount of phones that Apple sells in a year. Not to mention that modern Nokia's have better cameras, uncrippled bluetooths, better HSDPA, OLED screens (in N85)..... and FM radio! :-) - Ricardo Galli

eight hours from now, i can wait to buy my iphone. i have almost went to buy my white earpods following lisa simpson - hector juarez

I wonder if it is a new edition of the N95? My company markets them exclusively here in the states. We are rolling out video to video cell phone software 2Q 2009! It's a sick MMD. (Multi Media Device) - Brandi

I was told they crash like it's 1999 (and you're running windows 98, remember that). - Ian May

@Ricardo, you can have that argument, it wasn't mine. - Christopher Galtenberg

Just a clue (I don't know what it is), their guy in charge of Social strategy (yes, Nokia has one of those - a clue in and of itself) was at the Palo Alto Facebook Developers Garage a couple months ago. - Jesse Stay

Did they put the folding screen idea to use? - James

Now I'm getting interested. Unforunately there is always a lag before we get new mobile tech out here in NZ anyway (very frustrating) - Alistair (alpinefolk) from twhirl

I'll only take it seriously if they do NOT use the term 'iPhone killer'. - Andrew Leyden

I'm guessing Flash with a good data environment. - Floyd Davenport

Andrew: it's not an iPhone killer. :-) - Robert Scoble

Also this qualifies at my MVM submission. Third Eye Blind - Mike Lewis

That is quite a pointless comment, my comment was to the statement are we seeing the start of the web 2.0 bubble bursting, and I said no. Simple. - Brendon Wadey

funny chris, funny - Brendon Wadey

good question Abby - I really never saw the point - Nadine Schaeffer

The people that did give it a chance got involved in deeper, richer levels of community than any of the other services. I'm sorry people missed out on a great thing and never got to see the point and the potential that was there. - Mike Lewis

The ability to share any kind of media and have a long conversation about it with tons and tons of people, thats what. - Brendon Wadey

there was a tight group on there, we shared like minded stuff, and had good discussions, which had greater content abilities - clarke thomas

but now we have friendfeed ;) - Nadine Schaeffer

Nadine: I've had FFeed for awhile, there was just a tighter group at pownce. FFeed can be an overload information - clarke thomas

Are/Were you part of the team ? - Thomas Bøhm

obviously seeing your next tweet.... - Thomas Bøhm

The interwebosphere is taking it hard. At least you know you had an audience that cared. - Jesse Hattabaugh

So you tweet it? I have officially lost all respect and am wondering why I didn't do so sooner. - Mike Lewis

Agree with Mike L, this is ridiculous Kevin, after you telling us all on Diggnation how company's should respect their customers - Yatin Vadhia

You guys are complaining over nothing. - Brendon Wadey

Brendon, I doubt you were part of any community at Pownce, to the people that were, that's complaining about something. I think we're allowed. - Mike Lewis

My comment was to the "So you tweet it" comment. - Brendon Wadey

The announcement have been on both company sites most of the day. I think Kevin was just following up on that. This is not the only announcement - Tony Jones from twhirl

Pownce's email system was sucky. - anna sauce

Good idea, and would be useful. Though at least it's good at putting the right things in the SPAM folder, and not anywhere else. - Brendon Wadey

I'm guessing you've never accidently marked a legitimate email as spam? :) - Shmoe

I couldn't agree with you more. It does a pretty good job but it's not perfect. Still not bad enough to make me stop using Gmail though *wink*. - TheSleepyGeek

Marking a host as a bad sender is absolutely useless. No spammer uses a legitimate host address anymore. It's all forged. You'll be marking thousands of domains or hosts as bad and GMail's MTA will end up with huge performance issues in the long run... for very little gain. - Vermyndax from twhirl

Agreed with Vermyndax on the host thing. Having said that, I've used Google Apps Mail since launch, and not one single piece of spam has hit my inbox. Spam is a non issue for me now, never even think of it. - Matt Harwood
