Mo, I'm a newb to the shared maps stuff, but I turned on collaboration and allowed anyone to edit the map. There should be an edit button and then you can add a placemark. - Mark Krynsky

@Andrew...good point. I just changed it from public to unlisted which only makes the map available to those with the URL. - Mark Krynsky

Even so, last time we had the Confessions account details on FF it was tinkered with. - Andrew Trinh

I added mine, but in the process of learning I think I nudged the Sydney, Australia points off a little. Sorry. - Rob H.

Am I the only FriendFeeder in VA? - Aram Zucker-Scharff

@Mark Not gonna make SXSW, but am definitely down for working on an FF get together. March is long enough away to make sure plenty of people have time to plan ahead. I added you on Upcoming so we can start coordinating it. Anyone else interested/want to help set this up? - Neal "thePuck" Jansons

Do you ever mix it up and do something silly like 'taches and handlebars - anna sauce

Oooh, then someone made the connection between photos of our dads in the late 60s/70s and how guys are doing that again in a retro way - anna sauce

Ouch! No, I shave it all. I often let the stache for about 15 minutes and take a pic for fun :) http://friendfeed.com/e... - directeur

I could knock it and "haha hipsters" and all that jazz, but that takes balls, makes for a good story later in life and why the hell not. - Mauricio

Anna, I do Movember every year and I have rocked the handlebars... But basically I can't shave with a razor as my beard growing in all different directions and blades cut me up. I just take the plastic covers of a hair clipper and trim it with the metal clippers. I am never clean shaven but I rock a neat stubble. - Johnny

very true Mauricio. Why The Hell Not is a mantra for life. - anna sauce

Directeur, it's got a kind of Borat sexiness going on. - anna sauce

Anna, Borat? :p I like it :) - directeur

I have "designer stubble"... it's a carefully sculpted and maintained amount of facial hair. Never scraggly or gross, and always kept short... just enough to make the ladies say "yeah baby!" - Kyle Brady

Also, it should be mentioned that in my younger, more naive days, I had a full blown goatee... never again. - Kyle Brady

one of my girlfriends had all of these goatee jokes- like, someone forgot to wipe their nose after sneezing, it's a "landing strip", etc. - anna sauce

No no no... a goatee hangs off the chin! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... Also, mmmm landing strips... - Kyle Brady

I'm partial to the joke "flava save-a". - Jeanine W.

well, straight women don't want to kiss a landing strip, if you see what I mean... - anna sauce

ok this is totally random: "In the state of Kerala, India, the goatee is also popularly referred to as a Bulganin, after the erstwhile premier of the Soviet Union." - anna sauce

Anna: yeah, but they do. Secretly. All women want to... it's what I've heard. ;-) - Kyle Brady

Kyle, someone has been feeding you a line... - anna sauce

Maybe. But it's nice to think about. But back to facial hair. I love it when a girl's got a good beard going on... a moustache is too much, but a beard is nice. You can caress their face and get tickled at the same time... - Kyle Brady

I go back and forth on the beard (on a man, to be clear) sometimes it's nice, but sometimes it is "hiding something," hmmm - anna sauce

"Hiding something"? Like what, Anna? - directeur

My job forbids facial hair under the chin. You can have a mustache but no beard. I lose. - Amani

Amani do you work for Disney per chance? - anna sauce

directeur, that's what "they say" about beards & men, they are hiding behind their beard, hiding something... kind of intriguing, kind of creepy - anna sauce

Anna, ah! I see... I sometimes have a beard of a week or so, but that's only because I'm lazy to shave :) - directeur

nope, marriott hotels. very conservative thought process with regards to facial hair, piercings, tatt's etc ... they need to change soon though. - Amani

oh that sucks, sorry for you! - anna sauce

I recently tried the beard thing... I hated it. Gave it a full 6 weeks... I felt like I had fleas on my face all the time. Plus I got all the lumberjack references at work. Bleah. - Shawn Whitmire

BTW, Lula and the pro-government magazines just started saying bad things about Obama. It seems that they really don't care about the US president, they just want to blame the US for everything bad that can't happen here. *sigh* - Bibi

Hey, why fix something yourself when you can blame other people (or countries!) for it! I mean, we do that, so why shouldn't Brazil? - Jordan Hofker

Real classy Kyle - Shey

I could understand some magazines saying bad things about Bush, I used to do it, but they said some very stupid things about Obama that doesn't make sense. They just want to be against US and still using the expression "imperialism" for it. Oh well, I wasn't expecting nothing good from Lula and that Veja magazine anyway. - Bibi

Interesting. My first response to reading this was that I've always thought Obama has sounded extremely articulate when speaking. Just goes to show me that my own thinking might be too UScentric if I immediately jump to the conclusion that this is about Obama. - Thomas Hawk

I don't know what "hatting" entails but I guess it's not good? - Will Higgins™

@Will Higgins™ oops! "Hate". Yeah, not good at all. I don't like his politics and his pseudo popular image. He is more conservative in the economic area than the previous president too, which was a very articulate and intelligent man. But people here usually associate the articulate/ intelligent image with snob. Ok, so I'm snob. - Bibi

Thanks Lindsey! :) But I think it's more offensive Kyle thinks that I would make that non-sense comparison between Obama and caveman, than saying "fuck you". I could use other words to offend Obama, if I wanted it, and I actually like him, but caveman would never fit to describe him. - Bibi

Oh. Well in that case... awesome? Hooray for the beaches! *Kyle's not really embarrassed anyways... who really cares... but whatever* - Kyle Brady

Mark: thanks. I wasn't being "country-centric American". I was being "fuck man, Obama is already doing 1000% better than Bush did in his entire run as President... why don't you give the man some breathing room?"-centric, assuming of course that she was from America. It's hard to tell from her picture, and I don't stalk her often enough to know the difference. So don't blame me when she didn't clarify *which* country's President. Good try though, douchenozzle. - Kyle Brady

@Kyle, I was attacking my president for one of his last speeches, where he keeps blaming the Americans, even with a new president and the economic strategies that Obama is trying to make. According to my president, we don't have to suffer with "your" crises. Yeah, right, that's why a lot of people are losing their jobs here. I really don't like his speech. He can't see any good changes and can't see we are in trouble or trying to find a solution. Just blame other people and nobody will notice. *sigh* - Bibi

Bibi, please post more items on political or other topics in your country, same with anyone else outside of US, we have no idea for the most part. Thanks for sharing. - SteVe C

I'll NEVER understand how, in the era of choosing who you follow/subscribe/friend (let's call this the pull world as opposed to the push world of emailing) that people can gripe about this stuff. People can unsub anytime they like, no? - Carter ♥ HTML5

Carter, I totally agree! - Mike Fruchter

Agreed with everyone. I don't even find him that noisy. Or maybe I just like noise. - Jandy

Scoble kept showing up on my "friend of [X]" list, so I blocked him. Life is much better now. - Kyle Brady

I still find it unfortunate that FF by default has FoaF turned on and the hide options are buried. I hear so many people that take a look at FF and think it's "too much" and crazy. Meanwhile, I don't know how people that only use Twitter can follow > 200 people with any reliability. - Paul Reynolds

Dave and Robert know eachother very well, I think that Dave was talking to the "friend" not the the "friendfeeder". You can't say that the guy behind RSS doesn't know how to use an intuitive tool such as Friendfeed... my 2 cents :) - directeur

My first 2009 resolution: I will not be drawn into any debate about signal/noise. But FYI I find Robert interesting and enjoy reading/ignoring his feed at my convenience :) - WoH: Minding her Steves

Agree with Mike. I'm in the find them useful and informative (and often thought provoking) club ... - Patrick Jordan

@Paul Hide options are buried? How so? And personally I think the FoaF defaulting to "on" is great. It's an AHA moment for everyone who joins FF since so few services do FoaF well (or at all). - Carter ♥ HTML5

Totally off topic, but not really, I'd like the FoaF turned off by default, as well as being able to hide services. If that feature is hidden, it's hidden really, really well. (Hints welcomed) - Matt Albiniak

@Mike every entry has a "hide" link (2 to the right of "comment"). Try it out. - Carter ♥ HTML5

can't stand the guy... no matter how much I hide, unsubscribe and block...he keeps seeping through.. :) - Zee.

Zee: +1 - Robert Scoble

Friendfeed has lists feature to filter the noise; use Tweetdeck groups feature for same. Today, I am adjusting my own "noise" produced by Facebook. Sometimes, it is important for us to make sure we aren't drowning our friends with too much content, e.g. some folks still echo everything they post in FF --> twitter --> FF (Grrrr!) Personally, I love Scoble's feed as I discover LOTS of signal, great content, learn new folks to follow, etc. - Susan Beebe

No. Robert is smart and adds tremendous value IMO. - AJ Kohn

No, sorry, I don't find Robert's feed annoying. I don't find Dave's feed annoying either. - Ian May

@Carter The fact you have to hide something to get to the hide options is buried. It make sense for someone already using the service and shaping your stream on the fly. But a *lot* of new users, they just think "Geez I don't want to see everybody's Last.fm likes and Netflix queues!" It's cumbersome for me to recruit people over and tell them the steps for hiding and turning off FoaF. A wizard type set up process would help a great deal. - Paul Reynolds

Do not agree. - .LAG liked that

I'm telling you: Dave and Robert are exposing their love affair in public. There's NO logic in love. Don't analyze, that's only love. - directeur

My brain weeds out the noise. By being careful who I follow, there's little of it to deal with. Scoble's posts=/=noise, Dave's either. I learn something every day. - Jack&Cleo

The first rule of Viable Systems is the need for variety. FriendFeed is/will be successful only as long as there is an eclectic mix. I don't love bacon, don't care for cats, but still get a chuckle on some of the items but its my choice to leave them there... people who block too much or simply don't follow a rich enough chunk of the ecology will, I think, risk find FF boring - and dropping out. Even worse they could themselves seek to stir controversy by feeding/becoming a troll in their limited areas. - David HC Soul

@Paul. I completely agree with your rationale. However, I also think that because of the endless permutations of what could be hidden (services x users x FoaF) that designing a single "control panel" for hiding is a daunting task. - Carter ♥ HTML5

@Matt Albiniak hide a FoaF entry and you'll get different hide options than a non-FoaF entry. @Carter I think the interface is fine, it's just the new user set up process that could use refinement. Give people a choice, or at least an idea, of the granular power of hiding. Sorry for hijacking guys! - Paul Reynolds

@Paul Reynolds Thanks - but I'd like to hide services (either global or per user). My gripe is getting redundancy from folks I follow on Twitter and here. Could I just stop following them on Twitter? Not until I get sold on the UI here. - Matt Albiniak

Who's Robert Scoble? ;) - John Craft

Different strokes for different folks. There is no disputing Dave who whines to much winer's accomplishments. I subscribed to him a while ago, in hoping to add value and informative data to my FriendFeed experience. I quickly realized he adds absolutely no value to me. He deletes threads/comments and constantly whines about how negative FriendFeed is. I unsubscribed and never looked back. I felt no need to blog about it though. I simply moved on, end of story. - Mike Fruchter

I've never had a problem with Scobles volume. Ever. - Roberto Bonini

@Matt You can do that too. (eg: you can hide all people's Facebook status or just one person's GTalk updates). I create Imaginary friends for Twitter people I can't get to move to FriendFeed. I follow 0 people directly on Twitter. The neat thing about that is FF will group and collapse entries if a bunch of people send the same link at once. - Paul Reynolds

I posted a SocialToo SocialSurvey - make your vote known!: http://socialtoo.com/survey... - Jesse Stay

I disagree with Dave -- we can all choose to read as much of Robert Scoble as we like. I look for the good stuff in Best of Day and FFholic Most Discussed. - Sean McBride

Dave is easily annoyed. You might say he has a low tolerance for others. - Phil Boiarski

Even if you don't subscribe or follow, chances are you're subscribed to someone who is. I think the way to handle high-update-frequency, highly-followed people is to not follow them and let your friends filter stuff for you. - Mr. Gunn

Dave blocked me the very first time I ever commented on one of his posts. I think he's a bit bats, but to each his own. - Dawn

I disagree. I appreciate the effort Scoble and other users go through to help me be aware of great content. There are some current ways to deal with managing what some would call noise and many better ones coming. - Mark Krynsky

As a fan of the book, I was disappointed in the reworking done for the film. It was not very true to what made the book so good, even though Gould rewrote it. That said, the FX were fun. - Ragani Harris

Ragani: that's what I'm afraid of. I also loved the book (the writing style and tone were unique and a bit coarse, but in a good way). I was surprised when I found teh new version of the book in the store. (They changed the plot so much that he wrote another version of the book to match the new story) and I haven't read that one. I'll probably be unsettled by all the plot and character changes, but hey, my bar for Netflix fluff is pretty low. - Kevin Fox

I liked it. Blu ray version rocked. Excited about Pt 2. The movie actually would be a let-down if it was just this chapter. - Christopher Galtenberg

Kevin, I say watch it as a separate entity, because as an action film it was fun, and the FX were well done. Davey is rather hard to like as much in the movie as in the book. He does some stuff that makes me want to yell at the screen that he is being an idiot, which I doubt I would have with if they had followed the book, because he has more believable motivations. He does not have some of the character building experiences that are in the book that explain his motivations. I will see the sequel, though. - Ragani Harris

I saw this on a plane. Good no-frills, low-expectations summer-blockbuster-y action fun, without going over the top with explosions. Not memorable. - Tudor Bosman

Okay movie. What I found more interesting is that it was one of the first movies with footage shot with the RED camera. - jho

The concept was workable, and I liked the special effects, but they tried to cram way too much plot into too little time, and the acting was somewhat awkward. - Tristan Seligmann

Hey man it is what it is. A good "action movie" without alot of substance. Totally for dudes though, for sure. - Kyle Brady

Decent, but made for the i-can't-hold-my-attention-for-more-then-3-minutes-on-anything generation. Wow, I sound old. - David Bisset (sn)

Not to be meta-on-meta, but I agree. The movie is based on a pile of shit known sometimes as a "book"... and I really don't understand why people are claiming it's amazing, groundbreaking, etc. I even wrote a giant book review after reading it [ http://www.kyle-brady.com/2008... ] That's how much it sucks. - Kyle Brady

If you were born in the late 50s or early 60s, don't read this. - Mark Schulz

So it's my parents' fault! - FFing Enigma

I knew the moment I saw the title what was coming. I've always heard my age cohort referred to as "high pathology, low accomplishment" Glad my kids aren't on FF to "like" this. - Mark Schulz

*Sigh* Who writes this crap. I remember when I went to college that entire professional classifications were tanking in both numbers and salary. Major projects were cut overnight. Colleges were caught off-guard and kept churning out graduates who were unemployable. There was a major shift (tectonic?) in the direction of everything professional as I was going through college. Fortunately, I had teachers in high school who saw this coming and had given my class an idea of what to expect. - Robert Miller

In high school, I got to interview several "professionals" as part of my senior project. The worst part of that project was that most were not overly happy with their careers and it showed. The most interesting aspect was these professionals, as a group, were woefully unprepared for the coming technology shift. There were a couple of standouts, like the nuclear engineer I interviewed, but most had no idea. - Robert Miller

Coming from a 21 yr old in touch with their generation... they should do a "who's the smartest?" Because if you look at my generation (which excludes the dumb fat kids currently in middle and high school), we tend to place very high on the intelligence curve, especially when compared to prior generations. So I completely agree. - Kyle Brady

Kyle, I would type more, but I can't see my keyboard cuz I threw up on it. - Mark Schulz

Mark, I'm glad I could help you regurgitate your latest meal! hahahaha - Kyle Brady

Kyle, I could write something that is insightful and intelligent, but I get the feeling it would fall on a closed mind. - Robert Miller

Ok, just for the record, I was halfway kidding. I strongly believe that my generation is not as dumb as people say we are, especially given what alot of young 20-somethings are doing right now. I'm in no way defending those who are lazy and watch TV all day, but actually consider my generation to be split, unlike any before. There are those of us with high levels of both ambition and intelligence, and then there are those who are truly dumb, wanting only to waste their life away... - Kyle Brady

Making enough money to cover rent, food, and beer, and never caring to do anything that matters. I realize this is an oversimplification, but I'd bet big money that research looking back on the current times will show that there is an unprecedented generational dichotomy. That being said, I also feel that the article may have been partially correct, because that "dumbest" generation is making more mistakes at higher level than ever seen previously. See the financial crisis, automotive industry failure... - Kyle Brady

and any other number of completely greedy and stupid acts for more details. Finally, if you have any doubts as to the intelligence of my generation, just consider this: anything found lacking in my generation, in intelligence measurement, is clearly counteracted by my extreme genius! ;-) - Kyle Brady

I was just thinking how interesting it would be if there was a Torrent client (I use uTorrent) that provided an RSS feed of download activity and you piped it through FF.

Haggis - I agree. I think there's too much white and it kinda hurts my eyes. I think it should be slightly off white or light blue. Especially missing the blue sidebar, too. I wonder why they decided an all white design was a good idea. I hope they come out with Labs and Themes for GReader at some point. - Mattie Kenny

That's amazing. Only a few more days until I can go down to BevMo to try it... Maybe I should start a label called "Satan's Own". Like the band from "Queen of the Damned"... or not? - Kyle Brady

Kyle, check out Arrogant Bastard Ale. If nothing else, you'll enjoy the branding. - Kevykev

*making a list* - Kyle Brady

One of my long time favorites was Bigfoot Ale from Sierra Nevada. It used to be 11 or 12%, but I have not looked for it for a while. - Rob Diana

It must be strong -- it put hair on your face! - Sprague D

try Westmalle Trappist Triple, 3 of those and I'm loopy, 4 was a bad idea. - clarke thomas

Thanks for the recommendations @Rob & @Clarke. I'm always wanting to try new beers so I'll look for those. @KevyKev, I've tried Arrogant Bastard but I much prefer Stone's IPA. - Mark Krynsky

Also, I'm surprised nobody asked me what the #1 strongest beer I've ever had was. Well it's called Samichlaus and is 14%. It's a malt liquor and is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the world's strongest beer. I enjoyed the taste and recommend trying it. $6 for a 12 ounce bottle thought from BevMo. Here's a pic from the bottle I drank http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Mark Krynsky

you should also try la fin du monde (translated: the end of the world). not quite as strong, only 9%, but real tasty. http://beeradvocate.com/beer... - mike fabio

@Revrev...thx, I shall pick this up on my next trip to Bevmo http://www.bevmo.com/Shop... - Mark Krynsky

Ok. So that beer was totally not beer. It tasted like they mixed vodka and Jack Daniels, and added a few drops of "beer flavor" to try and mask it. I like the idea of the beer with that much alcohol, and being modeled after Satan, but the result was pretty disappointing. Especially $4/bottle. LIAR! - Kyle Brady
