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.

After most have put their placemarks on, don't let anyone edit it because there's always someone out there waiting to fuck shit up.

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

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

Okay, looked it up. We have kids and no babysitter so we're still watching movies from 2004. And no, I can't say that I'll watch that. Time travel movies are okay-ish,but Navy SEALS are a no go. Don't ask, I'm weird that way.
- Anika
You're not allowed to be on FF, or the Internet, unless you love Dune. The only exception is that you saw the movie, and not the mini-series. The movie is acceptable to not like.
- Kyle Brady
LOL @Kyle, I saw whatever Kyle Maclkadafhlda;lan was in. I'm even trying to read the book, but I also think Herbert is a horrible writer.
- Anika
Anika: That would be the movie. I'd recommend the mini-series (there's two!) by the SciFi Channel... much better than you're expecting. Also, Herbert is widely regarded as one of the best authors in modern times... so you're wrong.
- Kyle Brady
Ha I've read better & I've read a lot of Herbert's books and short stories. From that era, I'd say Alfred Bester was infinitely better than Herbert, but many don't know Bester because Phillip Dick ripped off most of his stories.
- Anika
Well... maybe you're just not smart enough to read Herbert! haha just kidding... OR AM I
- Kyle Brady
Re: Dune. Don't even think about watching anything under the name. You have to dig through all six books. Essential reading. (and a lot of Frank Herbert's other stuff is good as well)

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.

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: 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!

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.

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

- 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.

This is so good, some should really (try to ) think before saying, or acting... And yes, there are other countries in the world except US, and most of them have a president. I mean, who is NOT B. Obama.
- Didier Lahely
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*

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 :)

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

@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 Rabasa
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)

- AJ Kohn
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, 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.

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.

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 Rabasa
@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
If i didn't want to hear from Scoble there is the hide/block feature. Those that care what he says or takes him serious are the ones that need to reconsider what they do on the net. Best to take Robert Scoble with a truck load of salt.
- CW™
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.

One thing about Google Friend Connect: it can cause load issues and doesn't always play nice with other code. It's down for the time being until we find a better way of letting in play.

- Robert Worstell
I didn't kill WP completely for us, but it definately was related to the Disqus issue we had. Load time sucked as well: it was taking 2seconds a pop at one stage to load each avatar. Without it, our load time has improved by up to 70%. I think I might make a separate page for it, I like the idea, but I don't want it anywhere near our general content.
- Duncan Riley
Might just work on a static html page... But don't want to chance it - they'll shut me down for good.

Kyle, I've pinged Daniel about it and he's having a look, but certainly that was my conclusion (well load times aside because GFC is bad there). When I switch Disqus off everything was fine, but I'd rather keep Disqus and dump GFC :-)

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.

Ok, this was actually a fantastic movie.

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.
- Jauder Ho
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.
