I really would prefer it if people didn't know I was online. "Online" translates to "they need to respond to me immediately because they are here." One of my main issues with IM. - Mark Trapp

Mark, This would be an easy fix on FF. Users should have the ability to turn their presence indicator on or off. You then could surf in stealth mode. - Mike Fruchter

Visibility could be a choice of course, just like it is with IM :P You can take as long as you want to reply to me, Mark! - Tim Hoeck

*cough* Facebook. *cough* I thought FF was different on purpose?!?! Please, no online indicators with chat options... My $.02, if it's worth even that. - Lisa L. Seifert

I was thinking about that feature too. I couldn't decide yes or no. :) - Yolanda

I'm almost always "online" on FF but through the Google homepage widget (like now). How would that work? - Rochelle

Can't agree with you on this one. Even if my "status" were something I could hide, I don't think FF needs a status indicator. - Sally Robinson

I'm so so on this. Good idea though. - Kyle Lacy

NO!! Isn't it safe to say if we use Friendfeed that we are online all day anyway? - Simian Downtime Analyst

Think about it like this: If I'm "online" and I'm not participating, I may as well be offline. That being the case, it doesn't matter whether you know I'm online or not because the determining factor that makes my presence significant to you is that I'm going to interact and engage with you if I'm online. So, this feature is really irrelevant because my presence is easily discerned by my activity. It's not like you're going to Poke me if I'm online and not active...that would just be annoying. - Rahsheen Porter

IM is already a time waster for me. Throw in conversations with hundreds of subscribers, and I can just forget about programming. - possible248

My default status in ALL IM clients is "away/DND". Of course, I don't really use IM much anyway, but that's another matter... and when I DO use it, it's another account entirely, usually project-specific (and thrown away when the project is complete). I guess I'd be more for an "available/unavailable" indicator than an "online/offline" thing. - abacab

Combine my previous comment with the fact that I NEVER want to see FF get anything even resembling private messages and it all makes a little more sense. - Rahsheen Porter

"It's not like you're going to Poke me if I'm online and not active...that would just be annoying." I wish I had your friends. A status indicating I'm online always means available for whatever. IM is as annoying as sin because of this. And the status set to invisible or DND doesn't help: rather than leaving a message or commenting and letting me comment at my leisure, they hold onto it until i'm online and then I have to immediately respond. I want to think on things! I want to ignore things! AHHHHHHHHH! - Mark Trapp

HAHA POKED by Mark Trapp - Kyle Lacy

Mark, the solution is simple; if people can't respect a DND status, they don't get a response. There are some -very- few exceptions to this, of course. Basically, anyone that comes across as -demanding- my attention...doesn't get it. - abacab

I like FF because you *dont* know when I'm online and I dont know when you're online but we can still share stuff.. and all this online but invisible - why have an online status then? - Kim

FF is almost always 'on' because I have it in an open tab. Sort of a false positive. - AJ Kohn

Mark, it sounds like you might have answered one too many messages while in DND ;) - Tim Hoeck

How would Friendfeed tell who is online? - Morton Fox

Morton: it's going to take a long time because you can't add all followers. I'm getting tired of adding people by hand (I did it on FriendFeed and now I have 3,200 people I'm following -- each one added manually). - Robert Scoble

A Leo zinger! - Outsanity

I find Rejaw rather useless. I mean, I'm already on Twitter, Plurk, here, and whatever other sites and I barely use them except for FriendFeed. The same bull I type on them site will just be wasted on Rejaw. Plus I don't like that name - Outsanity

Twitter is one sided, Plurk's UI is a hot mess, and I interact with people on Rejaw I don't on FriendFeed. I like it. - Mona N.

This is why I keep writing stories where the main characters aren't white and aren't just a plot device. Because out of all of my favourite sci-fi books, I can count on one hand the number of black characters that aren't just there to further along the white lead's journey. There's a reason it took me 20 years to embrace sci-fi--I never felt like it had anything to offer me, and sometimes that's still in question. - Evangeline

wow. just wow. I'm trying to think of significant black characters in sci-fi books, and I drawing blanks right now. I know I'm tired and fuzzy-brained, but wow. - Harvey Simmons

Most COC that show up for more than five minutes are usually just Magical Negroes there to make the white characters' journeys a little easier. It's so frustrating. - Evangeline

I'd actually like to try writing a non-white character someday, just because I don't think I really ever have. - Heather

None of the leads in most of my stories are white. Lilith is an alien, so she doesn't count; most of the people in my really big story that wouldn't die were black, Asian, Hispanic or half-white/half POC, and the story I'm working on now has a white woman and a Mexican vampire. That's part of why I have to write as much as I do--even if no one ever sees it, at least I have something that proves that POC actually exist in science fiction. - Evangeline

Harvey, Walter Mosley's Futureland features sci-fi shorts all featuring POC. - Jason Toney

Walter Mosley? The "Easy Rollins" Walter Mosley? No idea he wrote sci-fi! - Harvey Simmons

Thanks, Jason! I'm looking this up on Amazon right now! - Harvey Simmons

I /knew/ I should've just bought that when I noticed it the other day. Thanks for the rec, Jason! - Evangeline

the wikipedia entry on Futureland is actually decent - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F.... To this point, it's his only leap into sci-fi and I think he did it for exactly the same reasons you outlined, Evangeline. The space is lacking in black protagonists. - Jason Toney

I tend to eat better when single. Having someone to eat out with is too tempting. - Paul Reynolds

LOL Yea, the "one thing". Of course, desiring a healthy mind and body should not depend on others, right? - nicerobot

It's hard, expensive, and a pain in the EFin ass. Seriously. Plus, cooking is no fun unless it's FOR someone, not just me ;) - Mona N.

I've never known how to cook for one or two, so I've always cooked for about 6. Did it when I was single, do it now that I'm married. - Stupid Blogger

I have to guesstimate with my rice cooker to make 1 or 2 cups of rice. Usually end up making 2 which is more than enough for 2 peeps - Alex Scoble

Mona, do you eat meat? I can pass you a few cook once many meal ideas. - Stupid Blogger

Mona, change that to "Not motivated to *cook* decent food" and you're spot on. I do the pre-prepared/take-out/frozen-nukable thing all the time because I cannot be bothered to cook for one. But the things I buy are healthy, often organic, etc. That said, I have been trying to set aside one "thou shalt cook" day a week to improve my spending habits. Seems to work most weeks. - Joanmarie

Um, you act like being married motivates people to eat decent food? Ramen FTW! - Cyndy

Being married to me motivates you to eat decent food because I like to cook... - Jason Carreira

Joanmarie: I don't even go out to eat decent food LOL Cyndy: So THAT'S why Pete is so cute. Ramen FTW @Michael: i like eating :D - Mona N.

and what in the HELL is wrong with frozen burritos?! :) - Tim Hoeck

Bahahaha Mona. Pete won't eat Ramen! Pete is 24 pounds of frozen pancakes and American cheese. - Cyndy

people that aren't single don't understand the food issue. I'm a student, single, and I can't cook. I eat scrambled eggs or pancakes all the time and don't work out enough. Not being single means that the other person will motivate you to either eat healthier or help you in the kitchen. I hope, maybe... - Phillip Jeffrey

If you live alone long enough, everything gets boring after a while foodwise. Then again, it was the same when I lived with my family - there are only so many types of meals one can cook. Best thing to do is go mad every once in a while and experiment. Let the kitchen be your lab! :) - Rai

Wow, I'm totally feeling in the minority here. The only pseudo-pejorative terms of endearment I use with others are "silly" (used quite a bit) and "dork". Mind you, that doesn't mean all of my utterances are FCC-approvable; merely that my terms of endearment are. :-) - Joanmarie

I have to say that I'm a FF addict like the rest of us, but the past few days I've found it kinda boring and self-serving. Now that's bound to happen, but the chatter seems to have become less interesting of late and more like graffiti IMO. Maybe it's an end of summer thing. - Jason Goldberg

Well that would be a judgement upon your friends, not the service, nay? :) (update: lol, just saw your friendfeed subscription come thru - the pressure's on!!) - Christopher Galtenberg

@christopher sorta yes, of course. the question i do have is how much will be graffiti vs. substance? again, i'm an addict, just wondering - Jason Goldberg

@Jason, it's time out for the Olympics! - asiriusgeek

@jason we need a friendfeed substance pledge! (actually just a way to mark FF contributions as private graffiti, to use your helpful terminology) - Christopher Galtenberg
