I need to switch ... was it difficult? (I know just enough about such things to get myself in trouble)

All the different times I've tried, it was hell to do switch. GoDaddy did everything it could to deny me to transfer domains.

I was afraid of that :-(

Does that really what atheist extremists do ? Talk about space, aliens or parallel worlds and stuff ? or this is clearly a manipulation ? and Hey check out PKK please :) The idea behind this organization is practically based on marksism & leninism so that makes them atheist as well, right ? correct me if I'm wrong. So what they do? They bomb and kill innocent people in Turkey , does not even matter if they are babies, youngsters or women.
- mcd
Except I haven't heard of atheists bombing either of those things.

I think they just throw barbed wit and strongly worded missives.

Atheists are too busy doing important things like scrubbing blessings off of highways.
- Akiva
Rene, PKK does not represent all Kurdish community in Turkey and yes, most of the kurdish people are not atheist, I agree with that and I sort of agree with the second part too, the way those govs threated kurdish people was all wrong. However, kurdish people is not my main point here, what I was trying to say and honestly I admit it seems that I am not intellectual enough to do that...

You can now get a daily or weekly email digest for anybody's feed on FriendFeed. You'll get a daily or weekly email with the most popular posts from that person's feed. To get the email, click the "Email/IM" link at the top of anyone's feed, and select the "Best of day" or "Best of week" email option.

I now get the FriendFeed Feedback posts as a Best of Day email so it doesn't fill up my feed, but I don't miss feedback. I also set up a "Best of Day" email for my "Technology people" friend list so I get a pretty good overview of tech news every day via email.

This is a really cool idea Bret, I wish you can make that an RSS feed option as well. I'd be much more likely to read summaries in RSS than in email.

Wow, this is really neat! And it links into the idea I expressed earlier, re: reducing signup friction / enabling limited guest privileges. Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first." "sign up" -- though admirably lightweight on FF -- is still a huge barrier.

is there a love button cause I dont like this option I LOVE this option..great work guys
- (jeff)isageek
Three options I would like (1) Can I select "top 100" instead of "top 30"? (2) Could I select both "best of day" and "best of week"? (3) How about older timeperiods? I'd love to get an e-mail with stuff from last week or Mar 2009? Start & end dates? Anything to help me read FriendFeed off-line would be great since I spend long periods off-line at festivals (especially during summer time) or overseas. - Awesome job guys!
- Mitchell Tsai
So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there).

I've finally nailed down why I don't like Google Glass. It's not the device, it's the concept. I recently have become conscious of how socially disruptive phones and tech can be. I'm guilty of this than anyone. I have been trying to work on this. The idea of communicating face-to-face but THROUGH a piece of tech seems the last straw

That's a good point. Now that we have gone through the initial phase of having an all knowing Internet connected portal fused to our hands; what does that buy us, and in what situations?

I honestly don't see a big benefit to having constant augmented reality. Reality is fascinating enough as it is, if you pay attention to it. But so many downsides... the extra attachment on your head, the unnatural command interface, and especially how it dictates a new reality to anyone in its viciinty without consent (to mention just a few).

I don't know. Look at what we are able to share here. On one hand we damn it, but on the other we see the intimacy with friends and loved ones that connectivity affords.

- Eric - seven eleven
But Eric, connectivity in that sense is for people in different geographies. I don't want to be talking to someone in person and have that experience mediated (on either side), particularly by a profit-seeking device.
- Tinfoil 2.0
I know you worry about those implications a fair amount more than I do. But, I'm glad you're still here. FF has helped many of us through our human failings, our lows, and allowed us to share our accomplishments and highs.

Seems like overload to me.......enough is enough. People need to tune out and free up some time to get reaquainted with their own thoughts.

Since electronic communication is so easy now, physical face-to-face contact is now more vital (and treasured by me). If I'm going to the effort of meeting you in a place then why do we need that electronic connection still? Human contact is still WORTH something to me. You HAVE to pick your phone up. You HAVE to look at your smart watch... If it's just there on your face all the time then... yeah, not for me
- Johnny

Not clear on why you draw the line here exactly, I think it's better than communicating through a phone. I expect one day Glass will look indistinguishable to standard glasses.
- Mo Kargas
Who wants to wear glasses to communicate?
- ronin
That's exactly the point Mo. If I'm sitting across from you at a table, I know with a high degree of certainty that I have your attention and you are engaged in the conversation. If now our conversation has an injection of tech between us, no matter how small and unobtrusive it may appear, then what's the point of being across the table from me? Just use Skype or something else. I'm not...

- Johnny
from iPhone
I don't think it's that all encompassing. I imagine, for instance, that you can tone down the flow of data or disable it completely, as you should if you're having a conversation that involves full attention. It depends on the user. Some people play with their phone when they talk to you and give no eye contact whatsoever, and some people will play with their Glass while talking to you. Others won't. The choice will be there.
- Mo Kargas
But the non-Glass person never will know what's going on at the Glass end. I sure don't want to talk to someone wearing Glass. I don't even want to be near anyone wearing Glass.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Someone who insists on wearing Glass walks into a room, and the whole dynamic of the room changes. It's now a dictatorship, with new rules imposed by the wearer, and the only choice the non-Glassholes have is to leave.
- Tinfoil 2.0
I seriously don't understand the difference between this wearable tech and a phone, especially Tinfoils objection. You don't know what people are doing on their phones either, does that prevent you from talking to them? When people using Glass have Glasses indistinguishable from standard reading Glasses, will you hide from them? I think rules of social etiquette will pop up around the devices, just like they have for other, accepted, obtrusive technologies.
- Mo Kargas
If I'm in a corner, playing with my phone, that's just me. If I'm talking to you, but playing with my phone, that's just rude. If I lift my phone and point it at you continuously, with you never really knowing what I'm doing with it, that's gone way too far. Glass is always pointed outward, always sits between the wearer and the rest of the crowd, and its content and actions and known only to the wearer. It's a power dynamic that is unfair to everyon else.
- Tinfoil 2.0
I think you are drastically overstating the effect of Glass on social interaction. If you are worried about gossip and/or evidence, gossip and eyewitness testimony has been possible for eons before Glass. I think at most wearing Glass makes explicit what was always there in social interactions.
- Andrew C (✓)
It's another creeping change in the social dynamic. This is another incremental step on the road to dehumanising contact. That may seem far fetched and overly dramatic but I don't know how else to say it. In 10 years everyone will have Glass or a Glass-like device. The social rules will amend. This post will make me seem like a Henny Penny type. I'm ok with that... I can also yearn for a time when speaking to you wasn't filtered through the collectiveness of everything
- Johnny
from iPhone
Societies change in response to technology, that's just how it works. They changed with the advent of morse code, telephones, tv, everything. But there's nothing forcing you to adopt it, and I really think we're all getting a bit hysterical about this. Glass is still more obtrusive, more visible, than the thousands of cameras that record you every day in public. Get mad at those.
- Mo Kargas
I do. But that doesn't make Glass right either. Glass is device that will change the power dynamics of any situation in which it is present. In a world where I strive to equalize power, I really don't want more destabilizing influences.
- Tinfoil 2.0
It's because you're of the idea that Glass is first and foremost a surveillance device. It's not, it's merely wearable tech that uses a camera to provide contextual information - no different to a phone. Yes, a phone can do all the same stuff already, and a bit of slight of hand and it can spy on you constantly, with or without the owners knowledge. As it stands, Glass is right on the users face and social power dynamics change with technology, expecting it not to is pure folly.
- Mo Kargas
But we're back to the same two core issues: (1) Glass becomes an intermediary in a face-to-face relationship that doesn't need (or likely want) an intermediary; (2) The non-Glass partipant(s) have no idea how the Glass-wearer is using the tech, Glass gives no outward indications - am I being Googled? Am I being recorded? Am I...???
- Tinfoil 2.0
As far as disintermediated interaction goes, in a married couple's evening, if they have a baby monitor on, that's a technological intrusion. Society got along fine without such things for millennia. Shoot, the potential for a telephone to interrupt a real-life interaction has been with us for many decades now and only a few groups (Amish and the like) have responded by banning telephones from homes.
- Andrew C (✓)
So if Glass had a little red light when record was on, you'd be happy? I submit that if you can't stand this technology, toss your smartphone and anything you've got that has a camera and is mobile, because it's splitting hairs to think Glass is radically different.
- Mo Kargas
You guys have fun with your disruptive tech. I choose not to have any part of it. It's obvious to me you'll never understand my reasons.
- Tinfoil 2.0
And a person with no internet hookup (Glass, smartphone, computer) is not necessarily present. They may be thinking of their sick grandparent, or their overbearing boss, or their crush at the cafe. They may be thinking about last week or next month or a joke they half-remember from two years ago. To me, there's only a greater chance that a Glass-less person is mentally present, not a binary "they must be here and connecting because they're physically here and don't have Glass on" choice.
- Andrew C (✓)
"You guys have fun with your disruptive tech. I choose not to have any part of it." ... do you have a smartphone? A camera? I have to assume you have a computer since you're on Friendfeed.
- Andrew C (✓)
That's admirable Tinfoil, but it's always there. Don't think I like it, I merely question making distinctions about Glass when effectively there are none.
- Mo Kargas
That's just it. I do see very significant distinctions between Glass and every major mass-market tech that has come before it.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Laptops weren't a thing back when I was a kid. But I used to read books and magazines at the dinner table. My parents were fine with that. <shrug>

Now that you mention it, I was allowed to play the Game & Watch at particularly drawn-out Chinese restaurant meals. Not at home though.
- Andrew C (✓)
I was sitting in a diner alone, so I looked over the other patrons - the table next to me had 4 people, obviously mom, dad and 2 kids, and all of them had a "device' in front of them. The only conversation was with waitress. In truth it might have been better with glass (eye contact) but we're already past a tipping point it seems so glass is #meh
- WarLord
Until a phone or watch or any other current tech can interact with your primary inputs (eyes and ears) without the need for removing it from your pocket or off the table, then there is a distinction. You can call it splitting hairs but I see a significant difference between having something that you must bring to your primary sensory inputs and something that always remains in front of...

"I can place my hand over your phone" - see, it's stuff like this where I don't get why you're calling the /other/ side the dictators. As I see it, both sides want to interact on their own terms, but somehow when you want to interact on your terms and don't get your way, /that's/ when it's wrong, but noticeably not the other way around.
- Andrew C (✓)
We truly have become past generation, uni students love these and find it very handy to keep in touch and socialise!!
- Nemo
I totally agree but you need to ask a bunch of 20 something year-old that find these stuff the necessity of their social life.
- Nemo
The idea of conversation is changing with technology. There are no longer any established terms. In the 90's people laughed at you if you conferred over the internet, yet today, you're having a conversation on it. The distinction remains arbitrary in my mind. It's also quite literally a moot point without actually using the technology as to how obtrusive it is. As for the primary inputs...

- Mo Kargas
Change != Better/Improvement. A faith in new technology ALWAYS improving things is misguided. I have never been more connected to more people in my lifetime. The quality of a majority of those connections are worse for it.
- Johnny
Sure, and that's your subjective opinion. It is obviously not going to be everyone's experience, for some, Glass may be an enormous improvement.
- Mo Kargas
FWIW, I have lunch often with someone wearing Glass. It's not in the way, and you know when he's using it. Even just looking at it is obvious because of the unnatural eye position. I haven't found it an impediment to interaction. That said, I think it remains to be seen whether it improves or degrades interactions for the average person. You can give your attention to it faster than a phone, and you can take your attention away from it faster.
- Bruce Lewis
Interesting. As an old fart, I'll note: The use of "talk *to*" rather than "talk *with*" when the other person is diddling with a device is telling--in practice, I find that such "conversations" are already pretty empty. As for reading at the table: When my wife & I are dining *together* there's no reading going on. I hear what Mo's saying--but for some of us, conversational multitasking (and, heaven help us, driving multitasking) is like, well, most multitasking: It isn't all that satisfactory.
- Walt Crawford
Given all that, I doubt Google Glassholes (a lovely term) are worse than the Borg wearing their masters on their ears and apparently conversing with thin air...except that, when combined with walking or driving, they may be even a little more distracting & dangerous to others. Multitasking *does* degrade personal interaction, as far as I'm concerned--whether Glasses or smartphones makes little difference.

CSV_B: 0.95,0.7,3.46,3.98,1.02,0.15,0.34,0.52,1.31,0.56,0.16,1.39,4.62,2.63,0.15,0.52,2.94
- Micah
this week = 0.45%, alltime = 6.43%
- chaz2b
CSV_B Mean: 1.49 (previous mean for CVS_A: 1.27)
- Micah
Of course the numbers can easily lie, but I'm gonna say it anyway: "We're getting more conversational, people!"
- Micah
0.49 (493/988)
- Bluesun 2600
816 / 2502 = 0.326139089 overall | 50 / 233 = 0.214592275 this week I like much more than I comment. (maths via google)
- Chris Loft
3026/5013 = 0.6036
- Roger Chen
chaz2b, Bluesun 2600, Roger, Nicholas — thank you!
- Micah
5.25 but I don't know what this *means, yet. maybe I'm just stingy with my "likes" compared to others?
- Marg Uerite
Thanks jamar78 and Marg!
- Micah
A recent change in FF: now the comment count shows total number of comments (previously multiple comments in one thread only counted as one) http://friendfeed.com/e... so all the numbers above are from the old methodology....
- David HC Soul
My new ratio: 0.76 all time (old methodology .52).... this week 1.39
- David HC Soul
*bump*
- Micah
1.26 (2965/2346)
- Micah
Thanks, Glen and pea!
- Micah
Looks like my ratio as flipped again (comments back to dominating again). Seems to match my own awareness I've lately been commenting without Liking (commenting is my inherent recognition of value to me and the additional Like is when it merits an extra bump to help discovery by others).

Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments)..
- Chris Myles
1.78 (8529/4782)
- Micah
Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever.
- Micah
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience.

that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while...
- Bren
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically.
- Micah
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better.

Sex In Space: Microgravity May Pose Challenges To Astronaut Hanky-Panky - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013...
Stephan Planken, Irrational Numbers, qub and 5 other people liked this
"Sex is very difficult in zero gravity, apparently, because you have no traction and you keep bumping against the walls," biologist Athena Andreadis of the University of Massachusetts Medical School told SPACE.com in 2011. "Think about it: you have no friction, you have no resistance." In spite of the challenges sex in microgravity poses, Woodmansee thinks that the Inspiration Mars journey could motivate other couples to take advantage of less ambitious cosmic destinations, such as low-Earth orbit, should they become commercially available."

Hmm. I wonder if I'm describing it right. As I recall, I used to search on Google.com. Then I'd select "Images" tab and get a bunch of thumbnails of images with the site and the image size. And when I hit the thumbnails I could check the site. It's not that I abhor the concept of a preview. But in practice those windows (whether they're made with javascript or whatever) tend to be buggy...

I do use it - I didn't particularly like the adjustment to the image view, mostly because it wasn't obvious the first several times that the behavior had changed (that I needed to click something to close) and it meant that I had to move the mouse around more. Other than that, I've found it pretty useful. I'd love to more easily discard results selectively, when images show up that aren't at all what I was looking for.

It's been pretty terrible. I've complained about it several times. I dislike not being able to see snippets of the search results text and having to mouse over or click to even see which website each result comes from. I guess that new "try these, too" feature could be of some use eventually, but I'm still extremely annoyed with the latest changes.

Ah. I'm off Firefox for the moment because it's been crashy for me. I was trying to remember why I most wanted a reverse search and I think it's for ID purposes. When I have a photo of some plant or something and I want to know what I'm looking at, it's my hope that matching it with the same photo or similar ones will lead me to the info.

Oh, jeez, yeah, I use it all the time. I use it on the reference desk, in the way that librarians use clip art books for patrons wanting specific images. I used it got tattoo ideas. I use it to look for people. I use it to look for random, strange images to share and alter. I haven't had good luck with dragging an image to the search box. It has to be very clear and specific. I'm still adjusting to the new Images, but nothing has made me too cranky.

I use it all the time. Just yesterday I was trying to figure out whether my "juvenile hawk" photo was actually of a juvenile bald eagle. Browsing GIS made me think no, it really is a hawk. Besides, if I stopped using GIS, Radhika M would kill me ;)

I use image search; it's awesome. I use it to identify foreign words that I suspect are nouns, to get pretty images for documents. Things to change: Personal Results don't tend to be relevant; until they are, I wish it showed fewer of them... by which I mean none. (Yes, that's a search setting, but turning it off loses my "never show results from these domains" setting.) If I have...

I just did a search for "Desmids slide" and after checking out the preview, hit the site. It took me to a completely different (porn) site. Given that I'm on MacOS, I'd be a little surprised if this switcheroo were due to a virus on my system. However, I'm afraid to try to replicate the steps in case it does lead to malware. That's the first time that's ever happened to me on Google Image Search. That is, first time a seemingly legit URL switched up to a porn one once I hit the link through Google.
- Spidra Webster
Spidra, that's probably just the way the site was designed. If the user-agent comes from a search engine, it displays a fake page, otherwise it redirects to the other site (like just about any short-url service does). Probably not malware, just shady practices.

Melly, in most adult relationships, both people missed the first 10 years (childhood), so those years become an unending discovery / re-discover. But I don't know. Obviously, a gap in the middle is a major difference.

If malaria, polio, leprosy, sexism, ableism, ageism etc. have only decreased 5% or so (which is the likely scenario). One would not be able to not irrationally expect them to all be greatly reduced, but past experience shows it's unlikely to in 10 years. "so we have electrical power without cables for everything, and holographic lolcats, but still only 25-35% women on boards and way more black men in jail than statistically justifiable"

"Separated by the milky way, two star crossed lovers are only able to meet once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month based on the lunisolar calendar.

"The Tanabata festival (also know as the star festival) celebrates the reuniting of these lovers separated by the milky way and the word tanabata can be translated as “weaving with the loom (bata) placed on the shelf (tana)”. During the Tanabata festival sprigs of bamboo, sometimes small and sometimes the size of a tree, are hung with tanzuku, papers upon people write their wishes. Traditionally people wish for improved technical skills and abilities in homage to the legend of Hikoboshi and Orihime."

"Sources told AllThingsD that Mayer has grown frustrated because the Yahoo parking lot in Sunnyvale, Calif., was slow to fill up in the morning and quick to empty by 5 p.m. — something not typical of the hard-charging Silicon Valley rivals that Yahoo must beat to regain its perch." - IMO, if you're watching the parking lot (or butts in seats), you have terrible metrics.

And if your argument against telecommuting is entirely about "intangibles"... Well, crap, aren't there intangible benefits to telecommuting too? You'd think tech companies would make these kinds of decisions with data instead.
- Andrew C (✓)
On the other hand "culture" is not something that easily lends itself to simple metrics. If you walk the halls of the building and don't see people interacting much and have a number of people who are essentially invisible to their co-workers, maybe this isn't the draconian idea it's being made out to be...
- Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
It's not like Yahoo was knocking it out of the park with their previous policies. I'm sure Ms. Mayer and the board felt they needed to make some drastic changes in order to reinvent themselves and increase their relevance. This falls into the "drastic change" category -- maybe it'll make sense and end up being a good move.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
I think when people are jumping on this policy they are projecting what happens within a healthy focussed culture. In that environment a lot of things work that don't work when you are in trouble. She is trying to fall back to a rallying point and reorganize for another attack or a better defense. In that scenario she is making a good decision, though she should also make the same child care available that she has.
- Todd Hoff
I thought the point well made in this particular snippet is that this might hurt some of their working parents particularly hard, especially those who are single -- in a way that she won't feel herself because she's wealthy enough to build her own child care center at work. I think the idea is sound, but if they're not making moves to mitigate some of that, they're going to lose some of the people they're trying to reincorporate.

I am all for work from home employees given the right circumstances, but this answer on Quora from a Yahoo has me thinking this really is in the best interest of Yahoo!... http://www.quora.com/Yahoo...

- Ross Miller
I understand that there might be some issues specific to Yahoo! that precipitated this move, but I am concerned about the effect on working parents and what influence it might have in other workplaces.

Google is supportive of working from home, but also provides incentives for coming into the office (e.g. free food). I understand not every company can do that.
