A dollar bill taped to the floor of friendfeed's offices: - http://www.flickr.com/photos...

This is a dollar bill taped to the floor of FriendFeed's headquarters. It's a bit of social engineering. They figured out it kept people from tripping on the cord cover because people noticed the money on the floor.

The dollar bill trick doesn’t work with strippers though ;)
- Tony C
@Earl: Consider it a stripper-filter, then. You know someone's a stripper if they trip over it.
- April Buchheit
for some reason i expect a "stripper filter" to be something coded using regular expressions. sad, i know.

The message here is that Web 2.0 companies are so ignorant of money and revenue that they even step over a dollar on the floor

Interesting. The photo has been viewed more than 500 times, but has only earned 62 likes and 19 comments. So, for every 1 thing we can see here there's another 9 people hanging out lurking in the shadows.

- Raphael, Raphael
I forgot about that photo. It does work, though. Everytime I visit friendfeed's offices I see the dollar and I'm careful not to trip over it. :-)
- Robert Scoble
That's dumb. Why couldn't they afford to run the cord somewhere where it wouldn't be in the way in the first place?
- Robert Peña
As an IE I can state that's definitely not something to publicize. Definitely not OSHA Kosher.
- Adi
Great idea will have to remember this.

Reminds me of the deli counter in grocery store in Scotts Valley across the street from NorCal offices of MetaCreations (the Fractal Design arm of it). Local companies'd go there for lunch daily. PROBLEM: Deli counter pencils (for marking your sandwich menu) disappeared at frightful rate. SOLUTION: Deli affixed pencils with price label. Price: $100.00. Pencils stayed at store. :)

Tweetdeck vs Twhirl: It’s a very hard call - http://www.inquisitr.com/18832...

i really prefer Tweetdeck. Twhirl's UI just doesn't jive with me for some reason
- Nathan Chase
I like tweetdeck for monitoring multiple streams but everything is too big, requires so much space. twhirl is a little rough around the edges but everything works the way it should. url shortening plus analytics API key and access to multiple twitter accounts + friendfeed + laconica + seesmic + ping.fm? Wow. Twhirl has the upper hand.
- Glenn Batuyong
Glenn, the observation I made in the post: as a Twitter client, Tweetdeck rocks, but for multiple service support, no contest it's Twhirl. I'm running Tweetdeck now, but I may switch back. It's really a hard call
- Duncan Riley
until Tweetdeck can let you change the font size it is a no go plus I don't know why but AIR apps for Twitter all want to open links as a text file in notepad - that makes no sense
- Steven Hodson
I prefer the Tweetdeck interface but use Twhirl because of support for multiple Twitter accounts, FriendFeed, etc.
- Herb Hernandez
Steven, Im a reformed Windows user as you know, but I'd guess there's a file association issue somewhere in the Windows settings. You should be able to tell we it opens somewhere there
- Duncan Riley
very weird .. for the past while I have had the link problem but now I just tested with both again and it works fine <shrug>
- Steven Hodson
I have used both and I have switched to TweerDeck full time
- Rob Cairns
Duncan, I've gone back and forth forever for some of the same reasons. I'm pretty sure I'm staying with Tweetdeck this time (each time it grows on me a bit more). FF on Twhirl kinda sucks, and I'm not using Seesmic at all these days, so the multi-service utility just evaporated over time.
- Jennifer Van Grove
Jennifer, my issue as well. I'm not using the sub-services on Twhirl, particulary not FF because it does suck in Twhirl. Still, I'd like multi-account and Ping.fm support in Tweetdeck, what make it a killer.
- Duncan Riley
The last time I used twhirl it didn't support groups. Until it does I'll continue to use Tweetdeck.
- Keith - @tsudo
i love tweetdeck, good choice.
- Chris Harris
Tweetdeck FTW
- Jeff (the マクダジ of FF)
TweetDeck is without parallel
- Louis Gray
Louis, I think it's ahead as a Twitter client, but it misses stuff. Like play a sound on a @reply or DM only. Or simply an archive option. But in everything else directly Twitter related, yes. cleaner, more friendly. If I wanted something more, Twhirl still wins.Reality is besides multiple account support, I didn't use Twhirl for other services (I had them there, but didn't actually use them)
- Duncan Riley
I'm with Twhirl..
- Jigar Mehta
Having used Twhirl for some time, I found Tweetdeck to be a breath of fresh air, as it makes it easier to track different conversations. I don't feel the need to aggregate everything into one app either, especially if separate apps serve my needs better.
- Sam
i'm with tweetdeck. it's changed how i use twitter and has made it a lot easier to scan
- Snipergirl
from Alert Thingy
i like tweetdeck but it takes too much estate. i would love twhirl adding groups and different window colours for groups/search/account
- Ouriel Ohayon
Twhirl = Freindfeed. End of story.
- Todd Brunner
from twhirl
Hate way Twhirl scrolls one story at a time rather than smoothly - makes it unusable on small screens because you can't ever read the whole entry!

DestroyTwitter: more compact than TweetDeck, less annoying interface than Twhirl.
- Ian Betteridge
Yeah, I already decided to try Twhirl on #ubuntu Linux
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
DestroyTwitter can put lots of information in its clean interface without looking cluttered, I like Tweetdeck but it only shows a few tweets at the same time
- João Almeida
I use both! Tweetdeck for catchup first thing in the morning using the groups (pals group for instance), and then twhirl thereafter during day. Tweetdeck hogs a fair of memory I found out to my cost.
- bairnpunter
from twhirl
i use neither - i use the twitter.com site
- Allen Stern
DestroyTwitter is brilliant, and gets better with every update. A very nice clean interface.
- Chris Nixon
I love TweetDeck, but I'd love it even more if I could have columns stacked on top of each other, as well as miniaturizing columns temporarily (instead of having to delete and later recreate them).
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
I'm stuck with twirl because it supports multiple accounts and that's the only reason. If I had my druthers, and it added a few features, I'd use twitterific, or destroy twitter if they supported multiple accounts.
- Rick Powell
Tweetdeck is unbeatable when your monitoring evens like the plane crash yesterday, but for casual tweet monitoring, and tweeting.. Twhirl is hard to beat. And I just figured out that you can change the theme of twhirl to black as well. Only thing I don't like about tweetdeck is how it's capable of slowing down my brand new macbook pro, withs 2 gigs of memory. If that wasn't an issue, I'd be running it constantly and not switching between Twhirl and Twitterific
- Sebastiaan van den Akker
I love tweetdeck, mostly for the grouping and column layout, but have been making an effort to use the new twhirl so i can get integration into FF,Linkedin and FB (via ping.fm). If only tweetdeck would have that integration i would stick with that..

TEAM TweetDeck ALL THE WAY
- Mona Nomura
While I have a spare monitor (actually, a spare laptop) available I'll be using TweetDeck. But if screen estate is ever an issue, I'd switch to Twhirl.
- Jalada
I like DestroyTwitter because it's very clean and reliable. I had lots of trouble with Twhirl here at work. I also really like the "away" button, which makes it easier to see what's happened when I go away from my desk for a while. Also, DT is very customizable, allowing for either a "wide" view or standard narrow view, and the popup notifications are very nice.
- Alex Conner
Tweetdeck all the way!
- Amy Stewart
I'm with Tweetdeck. What will really be amazing is Tweetdeck as an iPhone app ---- AND, if that syncs lists with the desktop Tweetdeck.
- Sonya Smith
What turned me off about Tweetdeck: no keyboard shortcuts.
- Sean McBride
I just started using both Tweetdeck and Twhirl, and both have advantages and disadvantages. I use the former for its groups and to check my replies. The latter posts to http://ping.fm/ and allows me to follow FriendFeed. Before this I was using TwitterFox which I just found irritating. In my browser I use, TwitBar, PowerTwitter and TwitKit. @seanmcbride the keyboard shortcuts in Twhirl are nowhere near complete, but these are an advantage over Tweetdeck. Running both = running into the API rate limiting.
- Daniel W. Crompton
I have an example of how I monitor one corporate Twitter account and handle other info using both Twhirl and TweetDeck. http://www.flickr.com/photos... (with notes)
- Glenn Batuyong
I just discovered the first issue with both, memory leaks. They have been running for a couple of days each and are both over 300Mb. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
- Daniel W. Crompton
yes, the both leak over time. very annoying
- Jeff (the マクダジ of FF)
@Jeff Haven't used twhirl long enough to notice it also has a memory leaks like tweetdeck. Maybe it's an issue with the air framework
- Sebastiaan van den Akker
how do you use Twhirl with FriendFeed??
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
Twhirl & Laconica Bar for identi.ca, TweetDeck for twitter, Firefox for FriendFeed. Did I mention my PC runs out of memory?

I'm one of the few people that really dislikes TweetDeck. Tried it many times. My biggest problem with it, no shortcut keys. I'm a keyboard nav person.

So I played wit it and it's much like pownce to me. You can add photos and videos. But this has autoupdate so as you start to read something the page refreshes and it slides away.

Hitler identified with the Germanic people, Stalin identified with the Russian people. to me all such definitions are kind of stupid, what with us being 5% removed from the chimpanzee. but such people have always tried to establish boundaries and a monolithic identity within such boundaries. a picture/event like this puts a lie to such separations. i wish people, like Hitler, could see how far the future is from the "truth" they saw

graham, i don't think people have come that far in terms of racial/ethnic equality if they are still defining separate races/ethnic groups. i do think we are happy being mostly nicer to people of "other" groups, but that's not quite the same. check out an online dating site and see how many people prefer to date people of a particular group.

#1 Humorous post. #2 When you refer to "gender", you should refer to "assumed gender", as - for some Twitterers / Friendfeeders - there is no way to tell for sure (not immediately, at least) who is hiding behind some user names / avatars. #3 As a matter of basic human principle, segregation should be banned, be it linked to gender, age, nationality, religion, language, sexual preference, health etc.

Igor, please don't post irrelevant links on my posts =\
- Mona Nomura
...and Maid Cafes are a disgrace to my race. That sub culture is creepy
- Mona Nomura
Dubai is going to be a big draw... all great beauty comes out of great corruption... renaissance Italy is no exception. we still should keep after them for the cultural tyranny that is against free expression. beautiful though and so is the maid cafe Igor. Also Mona N. you are kind of hot... what is the corruption behind you? Igor is irrelevant here... but I can weave it right back into the conversation. the beauty of friends is we allow that.
- Noah David Simon
Noah I think for Mona being she grew up as a Japanese American it is a bit hard to deal with some of the Japanese culture! We all have prejudices against certain behavior! I can rant about Russia even though I only lived there for 9 years as a young boy! Mona Japanese culture is every where! I would not be surprised if you will see some Maid Cafes in USA!
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Oh and sorry for the link, but I figured people around you are interested in Japanese culture whatever the shades or colors of it are! Let's show different aspects of what Japan is!
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
er... um I disagree Igor. love ya buddy... but the mere fact we are talking about it means we are putting the gears on to import it. still ur right in saying the difference is huge between the variable-american and the variable. I think Israelis are a total different people from me, but I still back their asses up because they are family. er back to dubai. nice looking waterfalls. you should see the ones in NY
- Noah David Simon
Noah: We'll see re: Dubai. But from what I'm reading, it seems as tho many have lost as opposed to gained. As for the irrelevant link thing, I'll address Igor myself :) And thank you for the compliment ;)
- Mona Nomura
Igor: 1. I do not see any reason for that link to be presented in this Dubai thread. The only thing I can think of is shameless self promotion. Diverse conversations with digressive tendencies are indeed great but let's be honest with ourselves. Was that link to the maid cafe video posted on your blog really appropriate for this thread? Honestly, not once did anyone bring up Japan... Maid cafes and Dubai correlate as much as apples and like... gorillas. Yes gorillas, not even oranges.
- Mona Nomura
2. You know nothing about me, my back ground, my family, and upbringing. Thus it's quite inappropriate to speak for me based upon what you think I am about, no?
- Mona Nomura
btw, question 2 = rhetorical. meaning no answers/response needed. thank you and have a pleasant day :)

"Sleeping at an airport overnight, once almost a sport for the young and short of cash, has become a lot more common lately, affecting even older and professional travelers. And a big reason is that airlines are no longer as free with complimentary hotel vouchers as they once were."
- RAPatton
from Bookmarklet
I've been sleeping in airports for years (but never in this much style). The website http://sleepinginairports.net mentioned in the article is a fun one I've used for years. It's very helpful for finding quietest and most comfortable spots. Although some spots (like the 4 free massage chairs downstairs in Tokyo's NRT) disappear. :-(
- Mitchell Tsai
Often I sleep in the airport even if given a free hotel voucher. Why? I lose about 3 hours sleep going in/out of security, traveling to the hotel, etc... and I have the stress of a missed hotel-wake-up-call or missed shuttle or unexpected super-long security-line.

My husband, the toddler and I got stuck in Atlanta for 28 hours last year. It was an absolute nightmare. After that I decided I would never fly on Delta or into Atlanta ever again.
- Michelle Martinez
Michelle. Delta is my least-favorite US airline. It stinks in coach...
- Mitchell Tsai
Continental is my favorite.
- RAPatton
Continental is my favorite for food. However, American gives a higher upgrade percentage (~95-98%). Continental has dropped to 50-60% for me, and may be next-to-impossible on SFO-EWR or LAX-EWR routes.
- Mitchell Tsai
Heh, and Atlanta is my most disliked airport. I can't get anywhere near that airport without being stuck there for a lot longer than I anticipated. Last time I went through there it was in the middle of summer and the air conditioning was out. Everyone was being baked like we were in a tin oven, it was terrible.
- Robert DeBord
Mitchell, I totally agree. I always flew them when I was in the Army because they were cheap. There is a reason why they are cheap, though.
