if only you could bold an announcement in FF like you can in Wave :D [oh, and my username on Wave is the splendiforously original "adamlasnik"]

Guys, please read the title and the first comment. This is not a request for invites. This is for users who already have an account and want to share their account name. For invites see this thread: http://ff.im/91M9R
- Kol Tregaskes
My Wave ID is erier2003@googlewave.com. Feel free to add me and we can Wave!
- Eric Geller
Still don't really know what this is (Or Google Voice for that matter). This is like high school all over again. The cool kids are ignoring me!
- James Ferguson
i'm with the google wave woudl be really cool, if i had people to wave at crowd. jviddy@googlewave.com
- Jamie Vidamour
Everyone, read the title and first comment. This is NOT an invite thread!
- Kol Tregaskes
my plan didn't work. still trolling for an invite at dzinrgeek@gmail.com
- amarquart
Blimey. I must be going mad, is it not clear that this is NOT an invite thread. For invites see here: http://ff.im/91M9R
- Kol Tregaskes
Not sure if anyone else woudl find it useful, i'm going to add a load of you as friends and create a wave just to try stuff out in. Feel free to remove yourself from the wave or use it as you feel. Also feel free to add anyone else you think might want to be in on it
- Jamie Vidamour
Shockingly, I am robdiana@googlewave.com
- Rob Diana
Kamilah, you are kamilah.gill. You can find this if you click on yourself in the Contacts sidebar. You address (like everyone) is shown there.
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm sniffling because I don't have a google wave nick. Despite two invites, there is still nothing in my inbox. I am not in with the in crowd. :(
- Karoli
<- Waves hello! :) I'm at holger.eilhard@googlewave.com
- Holger Eilhard
hello holger, can you pls send me invite? fatihkurtoglu@gmail.com
- mfatih
Invite came today! I'm jalada@googlewave.com. As part of the second/third 'Wave' of people getting invites looks like I don't get any to share out.
- Jalada
M Fatih Kurtoglu: Sorry, I don't yet have any nominations to give out...
- Holger Eilhard
Hey, I'm in too ! :)) tagyboy@googlewave.com
- fwed
Just got my invite this morning as well. FF embed seems to be working fine. I've tried the Wolfram Alpha robot but didn't get it to work yet.
- François Dongier
librarysupporter@googlewave.com in my wave. :)
- MLx
Glad to see more and more people getting in. What we're waiting for is proper group support (a few weeks hopefully) then let the games begin! :-D
- Kol Tregaskes
Anyone have a spare google wave invite to send to me? email me at zaldor at gmail ! TY!
- Les Zaldor
that is a test from the wave that has this thread embedded.
- Nathalie
I will as soon as I get one WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
- Martha
banane@googlewave.com <-- writing this from wave. neat!

Wow. Thanks Kol!!! Here's mine for all ya'll to add - walt.ruppar@googlewave.com - although I just added like 150 of the above. While also deleting my pity pleads for an invite... ;-)

In the absence of infinity, possibilities include: reduce sleep, give up on having a 'life', dream of superheroes spinning the world on its axis to make time go slower ....

Same here, talent is definitely overrated, unless I get speed-reading eyes, till then I just stick to ... working *a lot*. Or I could just ignore things and still claim making educated guesses... *shaking* ... horrible idea!

+1 Piotr. And: your greatest weakness is also your greatest strength. Or vice versa :)
- Heather Piwowar
joergkurt: try running your finger under the words as you read, if you're reading on paper. It sounds nuts and it's about the first thing most people are told to stop doing when they first learn to read, but it's actually a really good idea. It helps maintain a constant pace, which you can speed up further than you think you can until you try this, mostly because it stops regression....

- Bill Hooker
@Bill - I will give it a go ... has anyone already created a "virtual finger" program for PDF documents ? ;-)
- joergkurtwegner
@Rajarshi Same here, and being able to speed read does not solve it.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Ruchira makes a good point. Although most people find that trick useful, curiosity is a fluid -- it expands to fill the available capacity. If you discover that now you can read more, you will find more things you want to read!
- Bill Hooker
I'm trying to collect ways people have became members on this online community, to see if the principle "data find data, and then people find people" applies to making connections on FF.
- Pawel Szczesny
In my case, I followed Deepak. So the connection was already present.
- Pawel Szczesny
I found friendfeed through a techie I was following on twitter (about a year ago). Started finding science people (probably fooling around on a bored night) and got hooked
- Kubke
I think I discovered FF via the blogosphere and then this room as I was following Deepak...
- Graham Steel
I got on Friendfeed because I saw something from Euan and found it intriguing. I started the room
- Deepak Singh
I don't remember exactly, probably May or June 2008 through the blogosphere.
- Martin Fenner
got my invite from Deepak on May 23 2008 just like Neil and Pawel, it quickly turned out to be a better solution for in-depth bioinformatics/biology niche conversations than Twitter (no wonder)
- Attila Csordas
found friendfeed while trying out various social network & bookmarking sites, enjoyed how it could tie together many sites (was using 20+ profiles around the web at the time). can't remember how TLS first came up, probably saw discussions that friends liked or commented on
- Mike Chelen
I remember using FF to introduce the concept of Web2.0 in April08 at a talk - http://www.slideshare.net/jcbradl... I thought I was just highlighting a fun new toy - I didn't realize it would come to dominate my interaction with the web in just a few months
- Jean-Claude Bradley
Late December 08 / Early January 09 for me ... I think came to FriendFeed due to recommendation from Maureen Hoatlin, and then found TLS via someone's feed. Is there an easy way to access my initial FF likes and comments?
- Steve Koch
I am trying to espand my network also here in FF and I find your idea very original and creative.congrats FF is the best!ciao from Rome ;)
- Nicola Codipietro
@Steve: no. I was using Google Reader to "archive" my likes and comments via the RSS feed, but GR is badly broken (won't resort, has lost months of items, I'm subscribed to weird shit by Buzz and that's flooded my feeds, etc etc). You can presumably get at your earliest FF items through the API but I have no idea how to go about that.
- Bill Hooker
On topic: I was following Deepak before he created TLS, so that's how I got to this room. Best guess is that I saw FF mentioned on various blogs and decided to try it out, is how I got to FF.
- Bill Hooker
@Bill yeah, I discovered same thing w/ GR. And I can't go back very far in regular FF web interface. Good reason to tinker with FF API, but I'll resist for now.
- Steve Koch
I was regular reader of Deepak's blog, he mentioned about FriendFeed and TLS community somewhere in the post, I cant recall that where.
- Abhishek Tiwari
I think for me it was quite a lot of science contacts seemed to be using Friendfeed + a lot of links popping up on Twitter that linked to Friendfeed. @pansapiens wandering around the office with a Friendfeed shirt may have helped things a little. ;p
- Mark Bate
As many others, I decided to give FF a try after Deepak's blog post about creation of the LS room. Then, I also started using Twitter.
- Piotr Byzia
from FreshFeed
Consensus seems to be that data find data and then Deepak finds people. :-)
- Bill Hooker
I can't really remember anymore but I think it was probably through searching for open science on the web, finding some blogs, and then seeing FF mentioned in those blogs. Shall we start a "six degrees of Deepak Singh"? :)
- Shirley Wu
I have no clue - just one day I was here and found y'all were already there :-)
- Björn Brembs
I don't quite remember how I found this room--I think I liked some items on FF by either Neil or Pedro, subscribed to him, and then found the room. As for finding FF, I think there was some sort of news item about it going into private beta (it might even have been in my FB newsfeed), so I sent a message asking to join, and eventually got an account. I didn't realize FF existed outside of FB for months (until one of the FFers told me in person).
- Ruchira S. Datta
Come to think of it, I haven't found any other Datta on FF. ;-)
- Ruchira S. Datta
From a post of Michael Neilson's -- probably "Future of Science"
- Mickey Schafer
Blogosphere to deepak to friendfeed
- Nils Reinton
Shirley, are there six degrees of Deepak? Every graph of my contacts and FOAFs looks like a cartwheel with Deepak at the centre. On topic: I remember the day when it was just Deepak, me, and Neil.
- Cameron Neylon
from twhirl
I was looking for a place where scientists network, and someone on Twitter (@andrewspong) recommended this. Still need to figure out how to use it!
- Fiona Godsman
Thanks! I don't know Deepak, but I'm willing to bet there are less than 6 degrees between us! BTW, how do you find out more about ppl on FF? Are profiles posted somewhere?
- Fiona Godsman
No profiles per se, but if you click on names you go to a "home page", where you can see a list of the services that person pipes in here (the row of icons under the name and tagline at the top of the page). That will take you to LinkedIn profiles, blogs, etc etc.
- Bill Hooker
From one of Shirley's blog posts, around late July 2008.
- Daniel Mietchen
I stumbled in from one of the bioinformatics blogs I was reading about a year ago. Might have been Neil's, might have been someone else's.
- Chris Miller
There're so many nice people out there - 16 hours after this posting (I finished the post on Friday evening) I got email with two useful publications in pdf format, because someone (thanks Piotr!) thought they would be relevant to the topics I'm studying.
- Pawel Szczesny
Very creative and innovative step. Fingers crossed for you and let me know if there is anything I could help with in Wroclaw (I'm again in Poland for good).
- Piotr Byzia
Thanks Piotr. People are quite skeptical about some of these steps, but as with other things: I need to try myself first ;). I'll let you know when first concrete things happen.
- Pawel Szczesny
Pawel, good luck. Don't know anyone more capable of making this work
- Deepak Singh
Best of luck Pawel, and keep us up to date - several of us have been dreaming of setting up a freelance research institute too ...
- Anna Croft
The Great Google Wave invite thread. Anyone who wants an invite post your Gmail address here and anyone who has invites available please use to invite the people on this list. There are also a bunch of requests in the Invites group here: http://friendfeed.com/invites
I have a few but holding them for a few people who have already asked me. I'm at kolint [at] googlewave [dot] com btw. A pain I know but if you can, could you update your comment when you have an account or just delete your comment. Ta! :-) EDIT: Try this site for invites: http://googlewaveinvites.com/
- Kol Tregaskes
Are people on this list getting invites or at least been told they have an invite on the way? You might have to be patient, it could take a long time for one to come through.
- Kol Tregaskes
Adam, yep agree. Maybe because I did that (month ago though) helped me get mine through from Vijay so quickly!
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol, the invitation process seems to be based on nominations. For example, everytime someone nominates/invites you, you get bumped up the queue for an account until you're at the top and you get sent an invite by the team
- Ema Nymton
Ysabel, ah I see, So lots of people must have nominated me. Darn, so a few users I have nominated could be waiting a looooong time. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
if that voting system is right I'm very annoyed. I asked for an invite months ago, now all the numpties are all over it I'm not going to get a look in. It's like I've been sat at the front of a shop queue and everyone's just walking right past me into the shop. I am British but I detest both queuing and waiting, so this is pretty tough going
- Toby Graham
Like most other people, yesterday I wasn't aware of that I «needed» a Google Wave invitation this badly...but now I am!!! quackofdawn at gmail dot com

neternity@gmail.com and i promise to send a wave of 100,901 twitter followers to your doorstep each of whom will have averaged 1 tweet in their existence - this might not get me an invite but surely it will get some notice - must have that something special - my google wave invite special sauce ingredient is twitter juice PS Not to be construed as an offer, not valid in any of the 53 US states, do not try this at home, caution: contents are hot.

How does anyone know if someone has already been invited? You could go back and edit your comment when you receive an invitation, but since that takes days, it could be ages before you know.

I've not even had a nomination, RK. At google dot com I'm suezanne , in the event anyone wants to make a nomination. I've asked before on friendfeed. It's kind of humiliating to beg.

Searching Google Wave with "tag:the-life-scientists" will get you to "Research collaborations in Wave", a good starting point for life scientists.
- Martin Fenner
I don't get how you search in public waves. I've tried searching for tag:the-life-scientists and it gets no hits -- I think it's just searching my own waves

Aha -- with:public . They really should include a button for that

Afternoon all. I've written my first robot, which hopefully will embed an interactive mass spectrum into a blip whenever a UniProt name is encountered in the text, and corresponding mass spec data is found for this protein. I say "hopefully", as I've not been able to test it for real, as, alas, I have no account. When are the next batches released? If it's not for ages, does anyone fancy testing it anyway?

Wow, Colby, that's the same pdf... open access, it's a pity that only a fraction of paid papers is available like that... Björn, thank you for sending this. :)

Cameron, where can I download your Wave's video from? Viddler has no link to hi-res, or should I sign up?
- Piotr Byzia
Should be a download button just at the bottom right of the video. You might need an account before you can download though (which would suck). Try the following:http://dl.getdropbox.com/u... (give it maybe 5-10 minutes to upload) if you can't get it from Viddler...

- Piotr Byzia
I'm telling you, this is highlight of the week at least, all those badges, tags, comments, reputation! Imagine the same system on FF :-)
- Piotr Byzia
from twhirl
The other difference is that on FF, your karma is contextual to an individual. In other words you control whom you hide, etc. The stack overflow system is global.
- Deepak Singh
@Chris Yes, I'm pretty sure tagging is a high priority on the FF developer's TODO and it will be convenient ones it's here. What I like about SO are suggestions (when writing your question) and community editing (tags, comments, questions, answers, pretty everything) so that there is endless improvements in content.
- Piotr Byzia
@Deepak Karma is no harm to anybody, ideally, you would be able to filter content by a particular karma level (i.e. 'show me comments from people with karma >1.5k) Add to this tags (... with tags: R;motifs) and create an RSS feed based on that...
- Piotr Byzia
@Chris Great post about SO! I agree on all points you made there, especially on "psychological carrot" in getting karma. But I would say that programmers active on SO are just aficionados of their tools (AKA geeks ;) ). Quite similar to who you can find on FF in some of their rooms ;-)
- Piotr Byzia
Dont like reputation based groups. Instead I prefer the old fashioned email based newsgroup. When I see a two page reply that is the perfect solution ..thats sheer altruism with no strings attached. I still turn to comp.lang.python or some googlegroup before SO
- Hari
I can't use mail based groups any more, even small internal groups. Too insular, and too much noise since email is such a bad medium here. Plus there is very limited google juice. The day of going to a site are going way.
- Deepak Singh
Wow, Hari, you dig deep in archive, this thread is from March ;-) I follow c.l.p. but only through RSS, for getting quick answers SO is the best, and quality is good enough to get things done.
- Piotr Byzia
I agree with Deepak, if mailing lists -- only digest version.
- Piotr Byzia
While this room has already more than 1k subscribers, I was thinking if we could run a survey to collect some info about us. This might be useful when deciding which other site we could use after FB's acquisition. I prepared questions at: http://docs.google.com/Doc... Feel free to discuss and edit :)
Hi Piotr. The most difficult thing I found was dealing with free form text data after the survey had been collected. If you use multiple choice questions with drop down list as much as possible this will make it much easier for you to computationally analyse the answers afterwards.
- Michael Barton
Getting a feel of the important issues people would like to see the survey answer is a good idea too. This could help you phrase the questions as multiple choice, rather than open questions requiring a text field answer.
- Michael Barton
I'm a little confused about question number 7; what is it getting at? I agree with Michael, though; structure the possible answers ahead of time as much as possible to be able to analyze the results afterward.
- Heather
Also you may add few questions about the meeting of "The Life Scientists" that discussed earlier.
- Khader Shameer
I added the proposed option "like/comment on items in my home feed but rarely check the room directly" to Q.10, since this reflects my most common use of the room (I do check it directly maybe once a week, but more often end up interacting with posts in room when they turn up in my home feed via individual people I follow).
- Andrew Perry
You could just use a GDocs spreadsheet Form to collect answers. Then you have all data in a spreadsheet to play around with.
- Colby
Michael, thanks for your tip, that's one of the main reason I wanted that survey to be a collective initiative:)
- Piotr Byzia
Heather, IT related question is to get some idea about what people are using as tools/languages in LS, this might help in possible "new FF" creation suggested by Deepak :-)
- Piotr Byzia
Ruchira, Khader -- thanks for your suggestions, I'll take a look at those once the survey questions are completed.
- Piotr Byzia
Eric, right, they might be too general and not entirely relevant...
- Piotr Byzia
Khader, meeting related questions will be included, thanks for reminding it! BTW, I guess Pawel is too busy these days, I remember him talking about this a few months ago.
- Piotr Byzia
Colby, that's interesting, I must just check whether or not one needs an google account in order to complete the survey...
- Piotr Byzia
Getting this kind of feedback is a great idea. I have added a question about whether people like to use the LS room to discuss their data and research, following a discussion on Cameron's blog about possible 'friendfeed version 2' models and in particular whether there would be interest in a friendfeed version 2 for discussing research in progress, in contrast to the general discussion...
