"Two weeks ago, we launched version 2 of the FriendFeed API in beta. Since then, we've watched how developers have been using the API and collected a lot of their feedback. We've implemented some changes, and now, we're ready to remove the beta label!" - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet

Bret - Think we'd all be interested in a longer list as more apps make use of the API. Great stuff - Charlie Anzman

Congratulations, you guys! - Anika

Thank you everyone! =D Debbie is already planning the girly clothes and we're going through our name book tomorrow. We both agree that we want something pretty short. Nothing more than 2 syllables. - David Cook

"Something amazing has been discovered in an area of South Africa, about 150 miles inland, west of the port of Maputo. It is the remains of a huge metropolis that measures, in conservative estimates, about 1500 square miles. It's part of an even larger community that is about 10,000 square miles and appears to have been constructed -- are you ready -- from 160,000 to 200,000 BCE" - Neal "thePuck" Jansons from Bookmarklet

I consider the general notion plausible. Most of the specific interpretations are so idiosyncratic to the given writer that they are hard to generalize from the evidence, however. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons

tofurkey. - Joe The Sausage

was just looking at Tofurkey, it DOES look like meat! (with a lot of good-looking stuffing) I agree with John (a.k.a. dendroica) tho, non-meat-like veg is better! - Petunia GreenBeans

so.awesome (via matt cutts) - Jenna Bilotta

“Central banks flush with record reserves are increasingly snubbing dollars in favor of euros and yen, further pressuring the greenback...” | “Global central banks are getting more serious about diversification, whereas in the past they used to just talk about it,” said Steven Englander, a former Federal Reserve researcher who is now the chief U.S. currency strategist at Barclays in New York. “It looks like they are really backing away from the dollar.” - Anthony Citrano from Bookmarklet

It's likely to hit parity with the Canadian dollar by next week. - Micah

"Algo que no aprendimos viendo el episodio de las aguas frescas en El Chavo del Ocho es que no sólo hay de limón, jamaica y tamarindo, sino también de horchata. Olvido que acaban de subsanar los Vampire Weekend en el primer adelanto oficial (y gratuito) de su nuevo disco, que ya tiene fecha de salida, y que sin duda pasará desde ahora a formar parte de nuestro vocabulario de mexicanismos. Por si acaso, la canción que parece electrónica es pop pero sabe a tropical." - edythe from Bookmarklet

you're very welcome, Bryan. I'm looking forward to the album, too. - edythe

Wheeeeeeeeee! - Vezquex from Bookmarklet

Holy crap, that's fantastic! - Tenshi (a.k.a. Sirloin)

You know you have a problem when the Wall Street Journal takes time to cover sports and to cover your team's futility. Cal plays USC at 5 Pacific tonight. #gobears - Louis Gray from Bookmarklet

BTW props 2 Chris for calling Oregon's score - LANjackal

"Three days later, at an all-company meeting in the same amphitheater, Hastings announced that there would be no Netflix Player. Instead, he would spin off the device, letting developer Anthony Wood take the technology and his 19-person team to a small company Wood had founded years earlier called Roku. But Netflix, which had already begun streaming movies to users' PCs, was hardly giving up on the idea of streaming them to televisions as well. Instead, the company would take a more stealthy—and potentially even more ambitious—approach. Rather than design its own product, it would embed its streaming-video service into existing devices: TVs, DVD players, game consoles, laptops, even smartphones. Netflix wouldn't be a hardware company; it would be a services firm. The crowd was stunned. In half an hour, Hastings had completely reinvented Netflix's strategy." - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

what do you mean limiting them, they work in the only country they do business in. Why don't you ask why they don't deliver discs overseas too? - Richard Lawler

a little late for summer, but could be handy for crowd control at a kegger party. - Bluesun 2600 from Bookmarklet

On second thought, I think I'd rather drink the beer. :) - Bluesun 2600

I wonder if he only took movies he liked... I cant imagine theres a big black market for dvds. Thieves use bit torrent ;) - Frankie Warren

"I didn't lose anything nor find anything nor am I selling anything. I hope you are well :)" - Jemm from Bookmarklet

I need to put one up that says, "Made ya look!" - Valley

That would have been hilarious. One of my friends was just talking about how the T and G keys are in very close proximity to each other and he tried (and failed) to send a message to some coworkers with "Regards" as the send off. =D - Bryan Zirkel

LOL @Bryan's friend. - Anika

Really impressed with this guys. . .Keep up the good work - Kasie Okoro

I'm impressed you figured out friendfeed that quickly! Major kudos to Kasie. - Frankie Warren

"IT WAS a pact that only a true friend would keep. Before one of them was sent to fight in Afghanistan for the British Army, they made a deal: If one of them died, the other had to wear a dress to the funeral. So when Barry Delaney turned up to the graveside funeral of best friend Private Kevin Elliott, he did so wearing a tight fluorescent dress, The Times reports." - Johnny from Bookmarklet

That's what I'm talking about! HU RAH! - David Cook from fftogo

WTF???? - Iain Baker from Bookmarklet

"A drunk French teenager narrowly escaped death on Sunday after falling asleep on a railway track and slumbering undisturbed as a high-speed train roared over him, police said." - Frankie Warren from Bookmarklet
