well i be darned .... we now can rejoice, since fast paced additions to already good product are surely fastly coming about off the feedpipe ... it'l be a hectic season of finest upgrades ... I'm sure they'l start with keyboard shortcutze. ... I mean Google Reader rules on 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.

Thanks to Kevin for doing a great design for what turned out to be a more complex set of UI options than we had originally anticipated, and thanks to Tudor for implementing the email backend. - Bret Taylor

Great! Thanks! Love FF! - Scott Monaco

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. - Bret Taylor

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. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Mark: http://friendfeed.com/bret... - Casey Muller

Lovely. Thanks guys. - Mitchell Tsai

Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included? - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest. - Drew Lucas

Very cool! Any way to get archives of previous months? (especially helpful for those of us who leave the internet for weeks at a time...) - Mitchell Tsai

WOW. that's really helpful！ - K.D.

Looks like a great addition for those who are not embedded on the site. Nice intro. - Louis Gray

Cool! - Josh Haley

Just curious - at what time of the day will we get these emails ? Midnight US-Time, or will it respect our timezones ? - Ahsan Ali

Ahsan: it is somewhat random right now when the emails are sent, but we built in the backend capability to control what time they are sent, and we plan on exposing that control to users in the future. Right now, it is kind of random - sorry! - Bret Taylor

Thanks Bret - Ahsan Ali

Cool! can i get a daily or weekly email digest for the "Saved searches"? - 0M0M from email

Cool - Nimaa

This will be incredibly useful. Thanks to all involved in the design and execution. - Kathy Fitch

Nice addition! - Michael Fidler

But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments? - Laura Norvig

@Bret LOL THAT WAS MY PROJECT! I will release it tomorrow. But you've also did it and killed my friendfeed application **sigh** But mine has multi-reporting weekly-daily-monthly at the same time and adjustable entry count! - Alp

@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-) - Alp

Alp: we were not trying to withhold data. Later today the documentation will be updated to reflect the ability to obtain "Best of" for users. The feed id will be USERNAME/summary/N (similar to "Best of" for lists) - Benjamin Golub

Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :) - Paul Kinlan

Bret: While Twitter struggle to keep their fail whale under control, you guys are developing stuff like this. Amazing - Thanks! - Jim Connolly

awesome feature, this will be highly useful for my corporate group ideas / content sharing; projects, etc.... THANK YOU :) - Susan Beebe

Great work. I especially like that it works on lists too. - Meryn Stol

my inbox might say different, but I like that :-) - Dobromir Hadzhiev

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. - Adam Lasnik

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). - Kol Tregaskes

does anyone know of a web service that can do this? (I'm thinking weekly email updates of my favorite feeds/people) I don't think there's anything like friendfeed .. - Friendfeed's Francisco

That's a cool feature - Xitong Liu

FWIW this isn't working for me any longer. Perhaps that has something to do with my Gmail settings though. - Mark J Severely Corny

Emails no longer get sent except for Subscriptions. The last non-sub email I recieved was July 15th, 2011. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

I still get them. - AJ Batac :)

I get these every day. - NotdaBOTTurlokin4

Rumors of FriendFeed's death are greatly exaggerated. (Thank you, Ben!) - Stephen Mack

13 more comments

Thanks, guys :) - Friendfeed's Francisco

Stephen, very happy to see new features like this, but I think the "death" part is the major users reducing their activity. I'd love to see some support from Facebook in promoting FriendFeed more to encourage those users to go back. Or maybe they don't want to? Regardless, bonus for me! Thanks Benjamin - you're awesome! - Jesse Stay

Jesse, fair enough but major users always did come and go. Some of the departees who left said they were doing so because there was no new development. Clearly not all development is halted. Last week Paul hinted that FF may receive a major new feature, and characterized his participation as "20% time" -- I'll take that. - Stephen Mack

I backed down off the all caps. The group "best of" is really useful, love it. - Stephen Mack

Stephen, I agree - I'd just like some confirmation that Facebook cares about all this so I can know whether to focus my efforts on Facebook or FriendFeed or both. - Jesse Stay

I noticed the best of on the iPhone the other day, wrote it out on a cake and then ated it. - Josh Haley

Thanks for the update Ben - AJ Batac :)

Jesse, I think you should focus where your users are focused. What do SocialToo users want? But if they want Facebook focus, you should still keep an eye on FriendFeed, since the future Facebook will look a lot more like FriendFeed. - Bruce Lewis

Bruce, I'm not sure we know that. - Jesse Stay

Paul Buchheit said the FB acquisition was attractive because of shared vision/direction. I would be surprised if a lot of that vision wasn't already embodied in this product right here. - Bruce Lewis

not enough, best of day should be like a stream that can be traced back - ffcode

ffcode: you can do that. Here is the "Best of week" from one year ago: http://friendfeed.com/summary... - Benjamin Golub

We have received numerous reports of excessive FriendFeed posts showing up in Facebook this evening. While we are not 100% sure, it appears to be an issue on Facebook's end due to ignoring application settings. We have disabled all FriendFeed updates to Facebook until we are sure the problem is resolved.

No problem, if I knew it was on your end, I wouldn't have cared, but thanks for letting me know about the situation. I was confused because it happened right as I was trying out a new twitter game.

great idea! - Edwin Khodabakchian

Cool! Beats the heck out of #followfriday!! - Larry Hawes

What am I supposed to get when I click the 'recommend friends' link on someone's pop-up? Currently, the popup just goes away and I don't get directed anywhere else. - FFing Enigma

Fred: yah, unfortunately, you can only recommend people who you are subscribed you and who are also subscribed back to you. - Bret Taylor

Mark, I didn't submit a bug report since what is supposed to happen wasn't actually spelled out on the blog post or here; this might be the intended functionality... I hope not, but it's possible. - FFing Enigma

Tina: it is supposed to pop up a dialog. Sorry for the trouble - we will look into it. - Bret Taylor

At first I did not understand this, but now that I am checking it out, it is brilliant and addresses much of what we have complained about. NOW what will we complain about? - Liza + = ?

Just to confirm Bret, the first image in the blog post is what the pop up is supposed to look like, right? Because that's nothing like what the ff.com/recommend page looks like.... - FFing Enigma

I notice that new subscriptions are automatically added to one's home feed. I consider that kind of a bug. - Meryn Stol

Tina: yes, that is correct. The http://friendfeed.com/friends... page is just a list of people that we think could use some friend recommendations since they have few subscriptions. If you click on any of the "Recommend" links on that page, you will see the same, standard "Recommend friends" dialog. - Bret Taylor

User-driven...I like. - Josh Haley

Where would we find recommendations that others suggest to us? - Fred Yankowski

@Bret, who receive the recommandation see also who is the recommender? - Roberto

Fred: You will receive an email as well as a notification on the top of your feed. - Ross Miller

Roberto: yes, they see who recommended - Bret Taylor

Not getting the pop-over when I click 'recommend' on the friendfeed.com/friends/recommend page either... FFox 3.0.12 if it's relevant. - FFing Enigma

Bret, if I recommend friends to people who haven't signed in for a long time, will they get email? A lot of my bored friends are not active FF users I think. (quite logical) - Meryn Stol

and can I see who has accepted my recommendation? - Roberto

Roberto: You won't be notified if they accept/deny as the recommender. - Ross Miller

Ross: Ah, it just appeared on my feed. Cool. (And thanks Meryn) - Fred Yankowski

Meryn: yes, they will get an email with your recommendations - Bret Taylor from email

Bret, I accidently just received an email with previous recommendations. I had already viewed them through the web-interface. But indeed, it's there. Email looks good too, as I expected of course. :) - Meryn Stol

hey Robert Scoble....I have a trade proposal....you send my name to all your friends...i send your name to all of my friends for the rest of my life.... - Bob DeMarco

I would like that deal, too, Scoble. I like this a lot. - Ben Hanten

Bob: I charge $1 per friend. :-) just kidding, but the UI makes it so hard to send you to more than a few people. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Bret: You guys rock! This is so much better than FollowFriday, which I recommended just a while back. Now, I'm waiting for some recommendation emails! :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

If there’s something about friends and family not having their account set up properly, I’d prefer a way to recommend them the streams they forgot to add. For example, I could tell them “You forgot to add your Digg stream and your fourth and eight blog. Here’s the link.” Then he could just click the recommendation and had it set up easily. - Natsuki Seika

Definitely better than #followfriday. - Bernie Goldbach

As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user? - Kol Tregaskes

After going through the documentation and playing around with some feeds, I love the fact that you can now see the subscriber lists of people who have their feeds set to private as long as you are subscribed to them and authenticate (mimicking the main site functionality). One thing that's absent is a discussion of Direct Messages. Do they show up in feeds if you authenticate? How do we find just direct messages? - Mark Trapp

Mark: direct messages are accessed using the feed ID "filter/direct". Read more about feed IDs at http://friendfeed.com/api.... Also direct messages appear in the "home" feed. - Benjamin Golub

Benjamin: ahhh, I see it now. I missed it when skimming that list over. Thanks! - Mark Trapp

Can you post the wget version of the command line? - Gabe

Gabe: wget --user=bgolub --password=passwd --post-file=MyPhoto.jpg http://friendfeed-api.com/v2... should work. In theory. Edit: nope. I'm not sure it's possible to do with wget. - Mark Trapp

Thanks God it is New API. - Ahmet Alp Balkan from iPod

Nice progress here with this release! - Micah

I love it! - friday night

Why is wget questionable? - Gabe

Gabe: wget doesn't support multipart forms as a design decision. If you post a file, FriendFeed returns a 404, and if you post data, the query is too long for wget to handle. - Mark Trapp

Shoot. Now I need a subscription. - Josh Haley

I'm all for improving the format of notifications, but wonder (aloud) if it is such a smart move to include the Approve/Reject link right at the top (unless it only appears in private feeds to which someone has requested access). Right now we have the option of blocking/ rejecting a subscriber at any time but presumably not at the very outset. This may lead to more of a walled gardens' mentality, already very prevalent at FF. - ianf ⌘

Gmail automatically showed me the images in a subscription email, even though I never told it to (you know how gmail has the 'display images below' option). further, it doesn't give me the option to hide the images. not that I'd want to, but how are you bypassing gmail's security feature to hide the images? - chrisofspades

Chris, we don't do anything special. I'm not sure how gmail decides what images to show, you'd have to contact them or check the gmail help. - Casey Muller

Casey, you sure FriendFeed's founders didn't use some of their "we created Gmail" mojo? ;) - chrisofspades

Chris, the "show images" only applies to external images hosted on other sites. Gmail doesn't show those by default because doing so would allow people to "bug" email. We include the images with the email so that they can be displayed immediately. - Paul Buchheit

ahhhh that explains it. thanks Paul. - chrisofspades from email

I like big Botts

I'm having a sonogram this afternoon (to scan for an aortic aneurysm) and I can't eat or drink anything until then. Normally, this probably wouldn't be a problem, except that I've been told that I can't eat or drink anything and therefore that's the only thing I can think about.

So I'm planning on having my bloodwork done in the morning, which means another 12-hour fast starting NOW. - I like big Botts

When that's over, you should just subject yourself to one of those "Colon Blow" treatments and get it ALL out of your system! #ormaybeitscolonflow? - Mark J Severely Corny

And good luck, by the way. - Mark J Severely Corny

I had the colonoscopy last March - I like big Botts from iPhone

I hope it' nothing serious and you get to eat shortly :) - Benny Bucko <Team Melly>

Well, it's kind of serious. My brother Mark died from an undiagnosed abdominal aortic aneurysm last March, and they recommended that, since there is a genetic component, all of my siblings and I should get tested. (So far, none of us has found anything.) The only thing that the sonogram operator said was abnormal was a few small gallstones, so it looks good. The lab work in the morning (and all this stuff) is just because I had to find a new doctor and she's giving me a total physical. - I like big Botts

Hope everything turns out normal, Glen. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

"normal?" - I like big Botts

Yes...normal as in nominal as in everything is working as it should. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

So I assume the sonogram turned out negative? Love, Your Buddy from Another Aneurysm Family - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

The aneurysm turned out negative. They found a few small gallstones (no big deal, unless they start misbehaving), and one other item that they're doing further tests for. I had to go back and give another five tubes full of blood the day after. - I like big Botts

I'm so relieved about the aneurysm. Sounds as if your gall bladder is relatively okay, and my experience with that surgery is it's not too big a deal. Keep us posted on the bloodwork, hon. - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

I'll see if the lab has an RSS feed… - I like big Botts

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

Ryan, I have to say, that's one high caliber ratio ;) - Micah

Jimminy, I'm copyrighting every single number. It's kind of a honeypot ;) Actually, it was curiosity mostly, but I also hope to build a sampling (small and self-selecting as it may be) for anyone who might want to analyze it. - Micah

Jonas, James and Kurt - thanks you! - Micah

You're welcome. I hope the results do some good. :-) - Moody (Sweet FA 4 Life)

.87 - Nine

Thanks JA, Chris (wow, 12+ is unusual :), Serkan and Nine! - Micah

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. - Micah

383/372 - Ashish

'Just clicking "Like" seems too easy' — Jason, that's because you're from the Chatty-ite tribe :) - Micah

Thanks, ashish. - Micah

wow, what a difference time makes, when i 1st posted on this thread, 6.43%, now = 1.25%, for a 5.18% difference, :o (and this is the earliest post to date i've recovered of my activity on ff) - chaz2b

chaz, I think there's been a big fluctuation for most people (maybe not that much). This is the oldest post on which you commented that you've recovered? - Micah

Thank you, Alex :) - Micah

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. - Bren

Orpheus' music was so powerful that no one could resist it—not even the fairest maiden. He chose the lovely Eurydice to be his wife. But their joy was brief. As Eurydice walked through a meadow shortly after their wedding, a poisonous snake bit her. She died, leaving Orpheus alone and deeply saddened. Overcome by grief, he decided to travel to the land of the dead to get her. - Azeem Baloch

It looks like people are solving it, so hopefully I'm not spoiling it: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Tab, Return. It's a variation of the Konami code (which nets you 30 lives in Contra) adapted for the keyboard. Figured out the first part from Paul's clue, but it took going through the minified Javascript to figure out a) that they didn't use the original Konami code like Google does and b) what they used for keyboard equivalents for "select" and "start." - Mark Trapp

AWESOME! but didn't the code net you 99 lives? - Keith - @tsudo

BINGO! same spam i am getting on G+ - Susan Beebe

I don't understand what random posts he's seeing - I don't see anything like that - only people in my Circles - Ankush Narula

Firefox filled a need based on a sub par platform called IE. No such need exists in the tablet place Kevin. - Jerry Schuman

I may have to do that too: Turn off email and then create a gmail filter to delete noise - Susan Beebe

quiet chat today.... why? - Tina Chase Gillmor

Everyone's on vacation. - coldbrew

About 10% of the shares I get this way are useful/relevant; 90% not. I have a stock message I share w/ people in the 90% column, that asks them nicely to stop. Most say "sure," and I don't hear from them again. - Denise Howell

Oh Steve.... You are missing out. Seems like you are just not giving it a chance, especially if you aren't even posting.... - Ben Hanten

I am troubleshooting a Facebook problem :-o - Charlie Isaacs

Kevin - I just +mentioned you on G+ // I know you're not following me - can you see it in your stream? - Ankush Narula

One cannot be surprised. - coldbrew

+Kevin The 10% are, so I'm glad they can and do. The 90% are just sending random things. - Denise Howell

no, but it is in notifications. Thanks Ankush for clearing that up - Kevin Marks

but if you post to JUST me, what happens - Kevin Marks

heh - no new information here (re:FriendFeed) - that's the problem - not the solution - David Ashwood

ah, that was just me so it is in notifications only. thanks - Kevin Marks

@Kevin - notification + email - Susan Beebe

Does G+ Sparks have any filters ie chronological? I havent found any. - Hilary Talbot

If there's beer involved I'll tailgate for anything... - coldbrew

Right... I posted just to you - Ankush Narula

Sparks seem very immature and limited right now... odd - Susan Beebe

@Coldbrew - tailgate - nice analogy! - Susan Beebe

thats my impression, too, susan. - Hilary Talbot

oh somehow my comments were not updating....now I see an active chat - Tina Chase Gillmor

Shame no Turntable.FM in the UK yet - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Or even Pandora - Moe Glitz from iPhone

I thought the Web was open? - Moe Glitz from iPhone

the web is open - content is closed - Ankush Narula

Beebe, thanks. I spend 5 days a year waiting for the Telluride Bluegrass Festival to start, every year :-) - coldbrew

The dubstep rooms are always jam packed - Jerry Schuman

Content use to be king! - Moe Glitz from iPhone

there's a poetry room - Kevin Marks

Aside from the handpicked, human-passion-driven curation, there are no commercials (right?). But that can't last. - Denise Howell

I was thinking about a "Best of Gillmor Gang Outakes" room - Jerry Schuman

when are these services going to work without Flash player? (ed) - Ankush Narula

eh? Ankush? You mean 'without flash' ? - Kevin Marks

rule of thumb in US retail, room for three big players in each product category. “Good, better, and best” - cliveb

yes - Ankush Narula

Thanks Kevin, I forgot about that site - Bruce Segal

haha.... it started with the advent of the BBS - Jerry Schuman

I'm not exactly clear on how turntable is maneuvering around IP law, and such. Anyone care to explain? - coldbrew

Ham Radio, before BBS :) - Charlie Isaacs

they're using the DMCA exemption that Pandora uses, which is very fiddly - Kevin Marks

smoke signals before ham radio - Ankush Narula

Ok. So, safe harbor? - coldbrew

I prefer pidgeons and usenet, personally. - coldbrew

with tt, you're sharing another activity while conversing about it - Jerome Hughes

the listener can't know what is coming up, or hear more than 3 songs by the same artist per hour on a channel, plus reporting rules etc. If those are all satisfied, there is a statutory rate of something like a tenth of a cent per song per listener. Right Denise? - Kevin Marks

“Good, better, and best” - WinPad, DroidPad, iPad. (FB, Twitter, G+) - cliveb

They are also a MediaNet client. - Jerry Schuman

Would everyone be excited if Microsoft came up with the + service first. Microsoft+ - Moe Glitz from iPhone

im not super interested in Plus yet - Tina Chase Gillmor

Glitz: If I got to buy it and install it on my machine? Yes. - coldbrew

Not G+ adding Scobleizer or Zuck (don't want my stream swamped) - cliveb

Check out this chart from NYT... feel bad for any tablet not IOS https://images1-focus-opensoci... - Jerry Schuman

is youtube in hangouts somewhat like the group experience in tt though for a smaller group? - Jerome Hughes

Never say never Steve! :) - Susan Beebe

Biggest problem with Google+ - API isn't generally available - as such all innovation happens in the Google Walled Garden. - David Ashwood

FB Messages unifies e-mail, IM, SMS, and proprietary FB messaging - pretty smart. Wait until they integrate that with Skype - Ankush Narula

twitter still dosent know how to make money - Abhijeet Desai

Twitter is gaining 20 million spam accounts per month - Ankush Narula

making money is overvalued ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

google dosent need to make money with plus cos plus makes search better & search makes a lot of money - Abhijeet Desai

I created 5 Twitter handles in the last 24 hours, mainly for testing - Charlie Isaacs

Teens will always keep RIM kicking - Moe Glitz from iPhone

More than teens - I see Blackberries everywhere in NYC - Ankush Narula

Exactly! Turntable knows an API helps make the community - David Ashwood

a turntable listen+chat app on phones would be great - Kevin Marks

But the team thinks RIM is dead - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Moe: I disagree. Most teens I know like iPhone or iPod touch better. - Robert Scoble

depends on which dead you mean - Jerome Hughes

and kodak? - Jerome Hughes

Correct Robert. But teens that can't afford those two, always use RIM - Moe Glitz from iPhone

RIM is a popular 2nd phone - Moe Glitz from iPhone

"Good, better, best” {Android, WP, iOS} Low cost, best tools, premium. - cliveb

Robert: I agree with Moe - teens have no trouble carrying a Blackberry and iPod Touch - Ankush Narula

Moto will be NFC for consumers & merchants & to push the Android hardware to the next gen - David Ashwood

Has the BBM iPhone App that was going to be launched, been killed now? - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Ashwood: Are you suggesting Motorola Solutions (aka Symbol/ not Mobility) is going to help bring a POS to market with NFC capability? - coldbrew

Patents??? - Ankush Narula

Interesting breaking: Apple seeking injunction against most Samsung Android phones and tablets zd.net/qrOrti - Charlie Isaacs

Yep - David Ashwood

Nice. Sounds interesting to me. - coldbrew

Ankush: and Photobucket's CEO says Android is growing like a week. iOS is growing healthily. RIM? Headed down in usage. I don't see any way it gets out of this death spiral. - Robert Scoble

It's what will bring Google wallet to the masses. NFC is a great idea - but it takes an age for the hardware to catch up. Moto shortcuts that problem - David Ashwood

Maybe we will see a Vivotech acquisition. - coldbrew

Exactly - carriers are one of the prime lags ;) - David Ashwood

Robert: pretend most people don't run apps on their Blackberries - they use e-mail, SMS, BBM, web and maybe a few choice apps - Ankush Narula

Carriers will be the backbone of wifi - virtual wifi providers like Fon will spring up - but carriers are still trying to understand what that means. Remember they don't want to be just a pipe - David Ashwood

50% globally is Android at the mo - David Ashwood

will they get the profit? - Jerome Hughes

Turntable FM. (No Static At All) - Moe Glitz from iPhone

They should rename Netflix to MadMenTV just for Steve ;-) - Ankush Narula

What's the content lockin on iCloud? - David Ashwood

the iCloud storage goes away if you stop paying - Kevin Marks

iCloud replaces Dropbox - where's the multi-user collaborative stuff - and the server-side apps? - Ankush Narula

Aye Kevin - but from an App provider/integration perspective - could you put the same content on iCloud and iGoogle? - David Ashwood

a great thing that didn't survive... Sunday Night... http://www.metafilter.com/64744... - Jerome Hughes

I've been watching season one of MadMen - Kevin Marks

and misunderstood at 1st as was the iPod - Jerome Hughes

Looks like Apple TV ain't a hobby anymore! - Moe Glitz from iPhone

At first look I also thought he became gangsta :p - deerstep

that explain other FF posts, looking for tapes and where can one upload large video files ;-). - Tzury Bar Yochay

Yeah, I never did get the duct tape though, so I had to use clear packaging tape instead (with a sock stuffed between the iPhone and my hat to get the correctish angle). - Paul Buchheit

Patent it NOW - Josh Haley

Very Cool Paul! - Jeff P. Henderson

great and inspiring - Nenko Ivanov

this was perfect, I opened up my Paris map and followed you :) - ipek aral kişioğlu

I'm surprised you were able to follow. I didn't have a map (my iPhone was taped to my head!) so I made a number of wrong turns, though the high-level route was pretty basic. - Paul Buchheit

Saw the vimeo on your stream and watched a little of it. Great stuff! Cool to see new iphone vid quality. (er 3gs? quality, hmm) Oh yeah, and enjoy Paris! - Jay

It's actually a 3GS, not an iphone 4. - Paul Buchheit

I think I might tape a photo of Paul with an iPhone taped to his head to my head because I want to get arrested for being a menace. - Akiva

You can fit an iPad on my forehead. - Josh Haley

Ahhh this explains the "ducktape in Paris" stuff LOL :D (that picture is full of geeky win!) - Susan Beebe

@Paul just curious how much battery did you have left after you were done recording? - BRҰANSAҰS

Something like 22%, as I recall. I had put the phone in airplane mode to reduce wireless consumption and also because I'm concerned that an incoming call would stop the video or something. - Paul Buchheit

Not bad. I guess you could get at least 2 hours of recording on one charge. - BRҰANSAҰS from BuddyFeed

Nice idea, OP - LANjackal

this is definitely on the list of 'quirkiest things ever done with an iPhone'. :-) - Olivia Lovag
