Fox News (!) Fact-Checks Palin's Claims About Dollar Coin - http://digg.com/politic...
"I cringe at the thought of defending her...but if we're going to be as fair and balanced as Fox claims they are, we need to the know the context in which she said this. She might have simply been commenting on the general secularization of society...something any Christian would comment on, and using the coin as an example of how God is being marginalized, in general, in today's society. What she, in fact, implicating the Obama administration? Politico said so, but otherwise gave us no context to come to our own conclusion."

Great post. Interesting that I've been hearing the same thing in my church the last few weeks.
- Casey Petersen
I left Twitter for Jaiku. Then Jaiku left me for Google. I moved in with Pownce but it died. I went back to Twitter, but flirted with Plurk, Identica, and Rejaw, and even tried doing it myself with Laconica but it was Twitter I really loved. Twitter finally broke my heart so I left it for Friendfeed. Now Friendfeed is leaving me for Facebook. No...

You're the best Leo. Canadians are the funniest people.

I'm betting they'll slowly digest it into the Facebook news feed. They claim that Friendfeed is staying put for now, but that won't last.

And we keep following Leo all over the place!

Long live Leo

When will we all get in a long term relationship and stop getting our hearts broken?
- Nate Pilling
so what is more important, the medium or the people, hope that FF will let us export our content, and our social netork :) (in my wild dreams)

Need ice cream? I'm new to FF, and kind of sad I didn't jump on the proverbial wagon sooner!

I hope you leave your standard breadcrumbs so we can find you in the next chapter of social interaction.
- jcunwired
Feels to me like maybe it's time to go back to building a distributed network, rather than hopping from service to service.
- Ken Sheppardson
But where to next? That's the question. Wave sounds great, but the implementation will be a PAIN. So where? Oh LeoMoses...where is our path in the desert?

- Matt Cassem
I think Leo's audience is more likely to click "Like" or "comment" than Scoble's is. When Leo and Rob are both posting on FF, Leo gets more likes and comments
- Mark
Didn't you leave a post earlier saying how funny it was that people complain anytime there's a change (referring to the FF buyout)? This sounds like a complaint to me.
- Fleagle
Not complaining - just thinking about the future. I think a little Friendfeed DNA will vastly improve Facebook. And I think Facebook is already the big winner with the general populace. I also think we geeks need a corner somewhere else to hang out in.
- Leo Laporte
And I have no plans to leave Friendfeed. Yet.

As for this geeky alternative, http://a.tinythread.com/ just showed up in my feed this morning. Thoughts?

I feel more of a personal connection with the FriendFeed team than I have with other services I've left, and that will be a big part of why I will stay as long as possible.
- Louis Gray
^^^ replace "team" with "community" and there's my reason for sticking it out.
- jcunwired
Its also going to take a very long time to go through content and bookmark/store it elsewhere. Evernote is going to be used heavily in the weeks to come.

The only way to have control is to use your own URL

What they said, I don't see any reason to leave FriendFeed unless something actually changes that makes the service worthless to me.

yup me too Louis and I don't know any of them

Leo, I think you need to change your FaceFeed status to "It's Complicated" ;)

I agree with Jonathan Hardesty "It's like the internet version of Days of Our Lives" - And sites keep getting killed off only to come back to life a month later!

very true, however on the other hand, we are getting closer to that one service which everyone will be on... and I dont think twitter is going to be that one

Facebook buying FriendFeed is like having to MOVE just when you got your house all dressed up and made into a comfy HOME! I don't feel like doing it again!

Leo, u by your self made two companies (services) out of 3 famous and made Google interested enough to buy 2 of them (Jaiku & FF). Google also tried to flirt with Twitter as well. So which one u choose now? Cause we will follow u :P

Sounds like some of my past love affairs. Of course, I'm married now. That, um, was prior.

Speaking of Days Of Our Lives: Didn't that show jump the shark when the serial killer was unmasked as Marlena (a character I used to have a mad crush on, and who's now mostly a professional victim)? Then all the "killed" characters came back to life, since they were only what I call "soap opera dead"...

I've decided I'm not going to tell ANYONE which site I'm favoring... not even myself! I swear! As soon as I decided that FF was my new place (a couple months ago) THIS happens! It's like magic, but in a bad bad way...
- Mark "Godt Nyt Ǻr"
Why do we all assume this is a bad thing? Maybe the FF Facebook combo will be better??
- Craig Shipp
Maybe they'll keep both open -- FF is the open side, and FB is the closed side.

Social Networks are sluts?
- TheDiva Rockin

I know exactly how you feel. What's a person to do? I am mad at Twitter for suspending some of my accounts. First, the accounts kept causing the password to reset, then they were suspended, all around the time of the DOS attacks. All I ever used Twitter for was to advertise my businesses, and for fun. Now I don't know where to go.

- Aviva Gabriel
Gotta find one who is a lady in public and a whore in the bedroom. One who looks like a woman, but thinks like a man. One who tells you you're the only person in their world and worships the ground you walk on. One who's from Venus but want's to live on Mars. One who you know will always be there even when the chips are down. One who looks like a movie star, but doesn't bust the credit...

I think a lot of people LOVE to think negatively and don't want to think positively. They think FB is BAD and will ruin FF, but I think if they do it well, FB won't be the bad guy. I think most people who are irked about this are irked because they think the FFers "sold out" to the "man".
- Molly, New Ears :P
@Mollyanna - I disagree. I am irked because the future of FF is completely uncertain. It's more likely that FB will let FF flounder and close it down than it is that FB will invest time and resources in maintaining and enhancing FF. FB has other interests and is splitting up the FF dev team. That does not bode well for FF. I don't begrudge the FF devs for taking the money. I would be...

Facebook shows its leadership. Combining public and private facing services is a big win. Facefeed is a winner.

What if they turn off FF.com though and integrate with FB :(
- Mark
Leo, I've respected you for years, but I see no evidence that anybody has a clue what they're doing with this merger. I like Facebook; I like Friendfeed, but I like Friendfeed more and I see way more potential for downside in this deal, as a user, than I do upside.
- Scott of Two Countries
still the begining, let see what wave will do
- abdellah
But will it become a combined service? I doubt it.
- jcunwired
Leo, the word 'Leadership' is exactly right. As Dave and Robert recently discussed, the most frustrating aspects of Twitter are the inconsistent business practices, seemingly arrogant attitude, and poor account management. I'm glad FriendBook stepped up.
- Dan Patterson
My worry is that the public facing service that made Friendfeed so great will disappear...
- Andrew Terry
Don't forget their also buying brains...there is some real talent at friendfeed
- Jason Stephens
I want only to carry on going to Friendfeed.com. Don't want it to be built into Facebook

@jason remember tey qui Google, they will never stay at FB
- abdellah
If they keep FF.com then fine...if I have to go to FB to use FF forget it
- Randy Pollock
I am an instructor and just integrated Friendfeed into my classes for sharing, etc. The groups and privacy were the winner. I cannot see taking the same thing over to FB even if it had the functionality because of its rep. I liked having a professional social media, and a private one on FB for my friends. I am somewhat bummed.

Leo, are you rolling live with anything today/tonight on this?
- Matthew DeVries
Guys, if you think FF is going to stick around read the press release and look at how many non-Facebook websites Facebook runs. They bought the people and maybe the tech, but FF as an independent app is toast.

An Online Marketplace Driven By The Community - Wigix - http://www.wigix.com/index...

Wigix is an amazing new alternative to Ebay/FeeBay. I quit using EBay to sell stuff awhile back because of the higher cost, and lower quality of buyers...Wigix lets you set up on your own store, and place or meet buy and sell orders sort of like a stock market. Plus, if you add new item to site for the first time, you make money off every one that gets sold on the site! It's like Web 2.0 meets Ebay, Meets Marketplace, meets MLM. I highly recommend.
