Can you still make invisible friends here in Friendfeed? If so how? I'm not sure after the redesign
Brian Chappell and K.D. liked this
I believe the way to do this is to create a new group and add the imaginary friend's outputs (Twitter, FB, etc.) as services to the group. Then keep the group private if you wish.
- Craig Eddy
Jeremiah, hit 'Friends" link, scroll to bottom of page that loads, then click Imaginary Friends button along bottom, this then offers a 'create an imaginary friend' option.
- Mike Coulter
invisible friends=imaginery friends? don't think so~
- K.D.
Oh far out, thanks Mike! I didn't even realize you could click that Friends section header.

I'd try it out but iPhone has this odd limitation of only one "Exchange" account at a time and I already sync with my Work Exchange. :(
- Paul Wade
Yes, this is ONLY useful if you don't already sync your iPhone to an Exchange server!
- Stephen Foskett
Love this. Hope that Apple end up supplementing lost MobileMe revenue with increased handset marketshare. Want to know if GoogleSync and MobileMe can be used in tandemn (until MobileMe subscription expires).
- Conor Ogle
Working well on WinMO so far, just needed to backup and import my outlook contacts into Google first. Looking forward to this thing moving
- Tyler Brownfield
Conor, I don't see why not. I have my work exchange server and my mobileme account (along with Yahoo, Gmail (email)) all on the same iphone and it all works great. I just wish I could add a second exchange account for Google.
- Paul Wade
Worked for me on my Windows Mobile, but I couldn't sync my calendar, as i'm already syncing elsewhere!
- Les Zaldor
Thanks. Do you think a one-time sync to get Google in line with MobileMe is going to be enough? I'm concerned about one overwriting the other.
- Conor Ogle
Google sync uses ActiveSync in Windows Mobile. This means I can't sync to both it and my work exchange server... such a bummer.
- Alan Le
Conor, MobileMe and Exchange Activesync are kept completely separate on the iPhone. No data crossover at all.
- Paul Wade
I like the thought, but I won't put it to use. I don't want my personal stuff, mixing with my work stuff anymore... Maybe another time, remember it's beta, but we all know google will keep it beta for like 2 years (i.e. gmail still beta) lol
- Jayson Flint
So what happens to my Address Book?
- Conor Ogle
Working here, fantastic - been waiting for this for a while. If you have multiple Google Calendars make sure to visit m.google.com/sync on the phone (not on the computer) and select the additional calendars you want to sync.
- Ben
I've had this for some time now using nuevasync.com... but, now I can sync directly to google, and remove nuevasync from the equation. nice.
- Neil Bernhart
This is a major game changer IMO. Why would any small business owner want Blackberry or Exchange servers at this point? GMail allows you to park a domain & gives you 7+ gigs for free. With OTA sync, you get the Blackberry-esque features, also for free. If I have 10-50 employees, I have the choice of hosting multiple servers onsite with multiple moving parts along with purchasing CALs, HW & SW maintenance, and dealing with never-ending storage needs. Or, I could let someone else do it for little to no cost.
- Peter Ghosh
oh, and beware... push eats battery life on the 3G like there's no tomorrow. if you can live with getting updates every 15 min, I would stick with fetch.
- Neil Bernhart
NuevaSync has been offering the same service from months on the iPhone and other phones. It can also do up to 8 calendars.
- Chris Williams
Only one calendar is synced from Google. Nuevasync supports multiple calendars.
- Jared B. Luther
Jared, you can sync up to 5 cals with Google Sync. Sadly, none of them can be shared calendars from what I'm seeing. Sticking with NuevaSync for now.
- Kevin C. Tofel
@Kevin - they can be shared. I'm viewing shared and even public calendars with Google Sync on my iPhone.
- Wallace Wilson
Is this one of those things that doesn't work with Google Apps for your domain? It doesn't seem to want to work for me.
- Ryan Anderson
I am a Google Apps user and I am getting nada. Me thinks I will be heading back over to Nuevasync.
- Matt Martin
@Peter, if I was a small business owner, one thing that I'd consider is the security. Google Apps doesn't give you any ability to manage the device. Both BES and Exchange allow you to remotely kill or hobble a device as well as push custom apps and security policies. You can get BES free for less than 10 devices or go to hosted Exchange/BES. Sure it costs you money, but businesses should be concerned about where all that data is going and being stored.
- Kenton
@Ryan, I found the fix. You need to go into the dashboard for your domain and enable the sync.
- Matt Martin
@Ryan and Matt: It DOES work on hosted domains. You need to login to your Google Apps admin control panel and enable sync.
- Peter Ghosh
@Peter, thanks for the heads up. Seems to be working well..
- Matt Martin
I think for individuals and small businesses this is going to be killer in which data security and device management can be a bit more lenient. I wish just sucks I'm stuck with Exchange already at work.
- Brian Bufalo
@Kenton - Good take on security. Given that this is using Activesync, I think the Google Apps-enabled kill switch is imminent (ActiveSync via Exchange has kill switch features). The fact that the domain's Google Apps admin has to enable sync'ing in the first place is a good start.
- Peter Ghosh
btw, 1 hour in and this feature is nerdtastic!!!!
- Peter Ghosh
Thanks for the tip on enabling it via the Google Apps dashboard; seems to work fine for me now.
- Glen Mistletoe
Nice! I didn't know about the activation from within the Admin panel of Apps for Domains, and now it's working great. Thanks Matt & Peter!
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Still no news and/or tricks on how to get the calendar to sync to the Nokia symbian phones?
- Henrik Söderlund
I don't have any options for additional calendars on m.google.com/sync, just the iPhone setup instructions. Is this an Apps bug?
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Tried setting it up on my HTC Mogul and it no work. Had to change the username to cjwelle%gmail.com for the user name to get the domain to show up. But after that no sync of any information. Not ready for primetime in my book.
- CW™
Setting up Google Sync now. updating my N82 firmware first. hope it wont delete my contacts list like it does for iPhone.
- Sunil Joseph
Wallace, thanks for correcting me. I wasn't able to see my shared calendars, but after your comment I thought about it. My shared cals are from a Google Apps account and our admin likely hasn't enabled it for that one. Thanks!
- Kevin C. Tofel
I've been using the version for BlackBerrys for a couple of months or so, but turned it off the other day as it kept retracting my appointments during syncs leaving me with an empty calendar and missed appointments! Not sure what was happening there, and it's hard to tell if there's a newer release for the BBs that's come out now too.
- Benjamin Watt
Sounds like a good idea but I can't get it set up. Keep getting "exchange account validation failed" but no clues as to what failed. Are there any restrictions on usage outside the US?
- Mark Warren
I use this on my BlackBerry and it works extremely well for me.
- Christopher Howie
from twhirl
I also found a problem here in germany - if you try to sync more than one calendar it said "this device is not supported" - adding ?hl=en to switch to english helped and I could sync all my shared and read only calendars: http://m.google.com/sync?hl=en
- Frank S.
Works perfectly for me. Now I can stop using nuevasync...
- Jorg Jansen
I've used the BlackBerry version for a few months now. It's great!
- Rob Boek
Well, If you are using and depending on /or can't get around another service, e.g. an Exchange server, in your cross sync calendar and contacts mix Google Sync is most likely not going to do much for you. Las time I checked, Google Sync assumes the dominant position and does not let you specify any sync conditions you'd might come to expect from other syncing apps. E.g. syncing contacts to and from your Google account not optional. I'd like to be able to tell Google how and what I'd like to sync, though.
- Vidar Andersen
If apple would simply support CalDav on the iPhone this would be a moot point. I can have iCal attached to Google Calendar and working off-line... but not the calendars on my iPhone. I don't get it...
- Brian Roy
Proof of the pudding for me will be how it handles alarms. If that works well, bye bye MobileMe!
- Chris Hearn
I wonder if using ActiveSync has any implications for Verizon users who have the $30/mo data plan for "Web Mail/Web Browsing", vs the $45/mo plan which is for "Syncing of Calendars/Tasks/Email/Web Browsing"? Could they be doing any packet capture by protocol?
- Jef
works awesome. i've been using nuevasync since i got the phone but was waiting till google did their own. now i'm happily waiting for them to support sync for tasks with.... ?
- tommy payne
from twhirl
NO, it doesn't work great. It has all the same problems with any other Exchange Sync. Your phone is "slaved" to the "exchange" - once that happens - no other contacts, no other calendars (with Google Apps you only get 1 calendar). The limitations of this pretty much out-weigh the up-side.
- Brian Roy
This is very tempting, except just this morning I was thinking that I need to start extracting myself from excessive dependence on the Google. I guess I could use this if I can figure out some other Google service to jettison.
- Erik S
I've been using Neuvasync for the past 9 or 10 months. It's a free Exchange service that interfaces with your Google calendar and contact store. It worked extremely well providing near real-time OTA synch between my iPhone, Outlook (with a Google account) and the web. I've now switched over to Google's Exchange service. Since Google was already hosting my contacts and calendar there was...

I've noticed that if you setup Google Sync with your iPhone and have the OS X Address Book set to sync with Google, it appears the latter no longer happens. While OTA updates seem to work flawlessly between Google Contacts and the iPhone, if you intend to keep the Address Book in sync with the other 2 then something is in need of fixing.
- Scott Jarkoff
Any difference between Exchange and MobileMe push on the iPhone with regard to battery life?
- Chris Hearn
ilike :) works so far
- videopixil
How is this handling fields that Google doesn't have in Gmail, i.e. birthdays? I'm a little hesitant to just sync contacts specifically, because Gmail doesn't have the number of related fields that the iPhone or the Address Book app does.
- Aakar Shroff
its not new though... its existed on the blackberry for a loong time (and has been working quite well for me)... is the "new" just the version for the iPhone or am i missing something?
- simran
Currently Google Sync only supports Contacts for my Nokia N95 Too bad I use GooSync now for my calendar, but it only updates a couple of weeks ahead. Wish Plaxo had 2 way sync with Google Contacts. And that I could use any address book in gmail.
- nooble
Took a while to get this up and running well, but I've decided to forgo access to my work email/calendar to have my Google Calendar on my phone.
- Bill Glover
I have never been a big fan of Google's contacts system. If contact photos (which I use in my iPhone for caller ID) don't get synced they way Outlook does it, I won't bother. Google needs to overhaul the whole UI and feature set of it's contacts system. Right now it is probably the worst of all the main webmail services.
- Rolf Schewe
youll let us know?
- Richard Binhammer
from twhirl
I have a question for anyone who's used this so far. What happens with conflicts? How does it determine if a contact is the same and which one wins the conflict? Can this be set? It would be nice if the phone wins for phone number conflicts and Google wins for email address conflicts (possibly address, too), but that's a pipe dream, I guess.
- Chieze Okoye
Also, what happens with contact images? I don't want to overwrite the ones already on my phone but it would be nice to have some pulled from GChat for the rest of my contacts that don't have them set already (so I guess I would like phone to win contact image conflicts)
- Chieze Okoye
D'oh! only the main calendar on WinMob! Sucks! Oh well, guess I won't be using it now. Switching to Nuevasync, I guess.

No, he wasn't trying to goose Obama. The camera angle is playing making it kinda look that way.

McCain by no means has an elitist attitude toward others. It really means nothing to this campaign that he owns multiple houses and cars. I'm pretty sure McCain wasn't shown any favoritism from any mortgage companies unlike Obama who was given a lower than normal mortgage rate and other special treatments in exchange for taking care of the special interest groups.
- David Ward
oh i love regurgitation of lies. WHOO-HOO...of course, marrying an heiress, mccain got no special treatment whatsoever...right.
- Admiral Anika
What makes McCain an elitist because he married an heiress? How does this affect the campaign? It doesn't. McCain is an employee of the people and works for the people. Obama has no bipartisan experience and will achieve absolutely nothing meaningful if he's elected. It's a fact that McCain has the best bipartisan record in the Senate. He can make a difference.
- David Ward
and it's no different than what most of my friends got on their overpriced houses here in LA between 2001 - 2004. yawn.
- Admiral Anika
all I'm saying is it's time to stop calling McCain an elitist because he married into a wealthy family that owns a lot of real estate and other luxuries. Obama is not poor by any means, He made over $3 million dollars over the last few years. Let's talk about the real issues instead.
- David Ward
let's save it for the debate on Friday
- David Ward
dear god. enough in the comments. It's the McCain campaign that is playing the elitist line, and all this proves is that it's a rich line coming from a guy with that many cars and houses...and a jet. I'm sure that many are over the whole "elitist" argument...but lets not forget that it keeps coming up in the right, not the left. There's nothing wrong with McCains wealth...but it's the context here that matters
- Duncan Riley
Duncan, I get what you're saying but every post mentioning elitism shows examples such as this in the context that if you're wealthy, you can represent middle America. That's just not the case and that's my point. Looking forward to the debate on Friday and the heated discussions to follow on FF.
- David Ward
Does anyone here know the definition of elitism? Here's a hint, people - it doesn't have anything to do with what's in your bank account. Go hit up a dictionary and try this debate over again.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
David, I'd be the last person to suggest that it does exclude you. But when you play the elitist card against Obama, you need to make sure your own house is in order. I'd rather (as would many) that this whole idea of "elitism" goes away, because its BS in the bigger context of things. But context here again: McCain is throwing the labels, and the stats don't back it
- Duncan Riley
I'm not saying either one is elitist, but it isn't about how much money you have. The whole argument starts out with a premise (the infographic) that makes no sense. It's about an attitude or a belief. Start from there, and we may have a ballgame. Otherwise, it's just pissing in the wind.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Mark, for a rare time, I totally agree, at least on the money side. We should have more ppl with money in politics, not because they can game the system, but because they understand how money works, and understand how to make it, personally, and for the nation. However, it's McCain here who plays the elitist tag, and Obama doesn't match the criteria. We should move past this...as I'm sure you would agree.
- Duncan Riley
Absolutely. And the truth is that they're both probably fairly elitist. After all, they're both senators. :-)
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
That's fine with me. And the crack about both of them being elitist is a joke that's probably 200 years old. To me, labels matter less than policy. I know that might not be true for most of the public, but for me it is.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
one guy earned his money through hard work; the other married into it. one guy owns a "normal" amount of domiciles and vehicles; the other guy has so many houses and cars he lost count. to suggest this doesn't have any bearing on their worldviews is ludicrous.
- Jon Price
Jon, I'm sorry, how many real jobs has Obama had? I'm not discounting what you say, but I would hardly begin to think he's this blue collar hero.
- Mike Lewis
@Duncan you're absolutely right! We should elect John McCain so he can marry us to a richer country and make money like he did! Maybe we can marry Saudi Arabia. Bush has been courting them and holding hands with them long enough.

He did not gain, and Rezko gave him no money. Nice bit of McCain style libel, though.
