I didn't see any mountains when I tried it, I guess no topographic data yet. Is this Flash10, or does it use the Papervision 3D texturing hack? The textures looked perspective-correct, which the normal Flash hacks don't do, so I'm wondering how they did this, or if they used Flash10.
- Ray Cromwell
It's gotta be Flash 10, no? Otherwise there's no way in hell they could get the perspective correction, is there?
- Joel Webber
Great, I'll have to switch to Windows before visiting Google maps.
- Burcu Dogan
Is there no Flash10 for Linux? I think SVG has perspective transforms (as well as displacement mapping!) so there is the possibility of an HTML5 version doing this. Edit: an example, quality is kinda crappy in FF3.5, no bilinear filter and weird artifacts: http://www.tapper-ware.net/stable...
- Ray Cromwell
SVG has perspective transforms? I didn't know that. But it wouldn't really provide you a way to render textured triangles, would it? That's my problem with CSS perspective transforms as well -- they're cute, and useful for a limited set of things, but nowhere near a usable system for anything interesting in 3D.
- Joel Webber
I think you'd have to mimic texture coordinates by using canvas to offset/clip/mask each portion of the texture image and then use the perspective transform on the canvas, but maybe Brad Neuberg would know better, my SVG knowledge is limited.
- Ray Cromwell
That would be an interesting hack, but somehow I think it would just make me nauseous :)

So far the biggest problem with microformats is that most companies only offer 1 way support. They provide one for you, but don't take yours from elsewhere. Details: http://www.dotcult.com/who-sup...
- Ryan Jones
I'd love to have someone on Building43 to explain them. Anyone game?
- Robert Scoble
The Operator Firefox plugin was very useful for testing microformats. Hcard is useful when available.
- Jauder Ho

I would nominate @kevinmarks for this assignment given his work on RichSnippets
- Dilip Dand
FriendFeed uses the rel="me" microformat on the services page (e.g. http://friendfeed.com/paul...) to tag links to my other services. The Google Social Graph API uses these links to find you around the web.

The question I have about microformats is "how do you know you need them?" I know when I need to use DIV's or when I need some JavaScript but I'm still not along to the place where I know all the places I need microformats.
- Robert Scoble
I'd rather see HTML change to be separated into a set of semantic elements and organizational elements, then CSS adapt to work better with that separation, way more than I'd like to see microformats try and do this same thing through hackery of CSS.

I'd love to come and explain microformats for your audience, Robert
- Kevin Marks
There's the 4th Birthday party this Friday - http://microformats.org/wiki... maybe Robert could do a video or 2 from there.
- Debi Jones
Kevin, I see you're attending the July 18 event http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event... anything sooner?
- Rick Bucich
the point of microformats is to give common ways for people to express things on the web that are used a lot, like addresses, reviews, tags and events. They do this using standard HTML.
- Kevin Marks
that would be a great event
- Pat Strader
Robert, we can chat about them at the SFAMA meetin on thursday - I think it fits into the panel's cope too.

rick thats a great question, i have tried to find out who might be looking for them myself
- Pat Strader

yes, i have it use it quite a bit, i was trying to find places that might be going out and looking for them, not necessarily implementing
- Pat Strader
i use both operator and tails plugins are there others?

What is something simple I can do to incorporate microformats into my blog?
- Robert Scoble

- Tyler Gillies
This guy seems to be exceptionally authoritative on microformats or "microstructures" as he calls them: @luebken on Twitter and his blog, http://leubken.com, has a great post on "Overview of microstructures in use".
- Mike Elliott
the simplest thing to do, Robert, would be to make your contact info in the sidebar into an hCard; you're already mostly supporting hAtom from your template
- Kevin Marks
Is this like one of those CGI voting scripts on a website? A widget? You could make it be reviews of each of your videos, Robert. Why put up contact info to the masses? Reviews makes sense.
- Prokofy Neva
I have not looked much at hReview but this shows a hcard mockup (do view source) http://bit.ly/1vfp3i You should be able to use this right away after substituting your info. I did notice that Google does extract this into their excerpt for search results.
- Jauder Ho
another example site is linkedin using hresume http://steve.ganz.name/blog... and there is a wordpress plugin http://wordpress.org/extend... (not sure what platform is needed)
- Mike Chelen

Rob, I think it's incredibly smart. They have a *huge* controlled environment to work in now. They'll open up, gradually, but people will all-of-the-sudden have the ability to finally opt-out of whatever they want, even on the "open" web. You can't opt-out of the open web with Google - only their private offerings.
- Jesse Stay
For instance, you can create a robots.txt to prevent search engines from crawling your content, but that doesn't fully prevent indexing of everything
- Jesse Stay
You can't specify which of your family and friends see your videos on Youtube as well
- Jesse Stay
While I do see what you mean there, I still feel it's a bit lame having silly limits on how social you can be there while they show our own blogs in an Iframe...so it means people comment using it, not the blog itself... they take the piss really!
- Rob Sellen :o)
Facebook has one unified system to control everything. Google will take awhile to get such a system in place.
- Jesse Stay
you give to them...they take away from you...
- Rob Sellen :o)
Rob, you can integrate your blog with Facebook outside of the Facebook.com domain as well.
- Jesse Stay
The advantage is only those you want to see it can see it within the Facebook environment - you can make it entirely public, or entirely private. It's completely your choice.
- Jesse Stay
Facebook still has its limits, but they've proven they're aware of those limits and continue to fix them.
- Jesse Stay
I can't tell Google to only allow the content it indexes be available to just my family in its search results, for instance.
- Jesse Stay
What you mean by that? integrate it outside of it? How do I do that? I post blog to it, but it still shows in the Iframe.. and most there don't think about closing the Iframe... that's lame... IMO.
- Rob Sellen :o)
Cool article.

Rob, Facebook provides an entire API (Facebook Connect) for third-party websites. You don't need to import it into the Facebook environment if that is your concern. Simply let your blog publish links into Facebook, and track comments from there. Facebook gives you full control of that experience, and allows you to take it all back to your blog.
- Jesse Stay
Louis, sorry, been a busy day - 2 hours of sleep last night and just now catching up on FriendFeed
- Jesse Stay
Good. That means you're vulnerable, so as a bully, I will follow you around and point out your mistakes until you have a public meltdown. :)

Louis this is normal for me so either I'm already having a public meltdown or things are just fine ;)

Oh the other hand, Facebook search seems extremely deficient compared to FF. I could not find a way to search for a specific word in my stream.

Richard, that's coming. It's those areas that Facebook still lacks, but have proven they are still very willing to expand.
- Jesse Stay
wait... someone on friendfeed that doesn't hate facebook?? i like it :)
- Frankie Warren
Facebook walls = bad = AOL, Which I hope will devour itself from the inside just as quickly (after they become the majority controlling partner in a media giant with nearly a century more credibility than themselves). I'd much rather use a different tool, with different owners for each of my online purposes, than Facebookopia.
- Matthew DeVries
And they will not "beat" Google, because Google does not play to win. Google classically plays to tie. Football coaches won't ever tell you that, but playing to the tie, and having infinite wind will always serve you better than a killer instinct.
- Matthew DeVries
Frankie, I wrote 2 books on Facebook. I have to like it. :-)
- Jesse Stay
Thanks Jesse .. now the other riddle is why Louis' "bully" comment is on BackType ... but is a FF thread comment, not part of a blog post. Is this an accident of where an item is found or something more gray and sinister ? :) (and no, people, don't start trash talking to get hits... It only caught my attention because it was atypical - at first glance anyway.)
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
Matthew, Facebook is much more than just a walled environment though. My website is part of Facebook, for instance, but it's a completely open environment, no walls. Yet I can put up walls where I want to.
- Jesse Stay
And so can they. You're share cropping on someone else's land.
- Matthew DeVries
Richard, BackType indexes FriendFeed comments. If you have an alert for a term, it will be caught.
- Louis Gray
Interesting... thanks, Louis.
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
jesse.. how do you feel about the fact they stop you being social.. IE block you for being to social? how can that be a good thing? I have been blocked once from commenting... it lasted a week.. great move.. I help my friends on there alot.. yet get kicked in the teeth...
- Rob Sellen :o)
Rob, they've got to get better at that. They have to do something though or spammers would rule the system like on Twitter. I have noticed fewer and fewer cases lately of suspended accounts though.
- Jesse Stay
I can see your point there mate and agree with it, but I am NOT a spammer, I have been stopped twice from commenting, surely they knew the truth after the first time. their lack of clarity on "limits" on the FAQ page is pathetic... how do you stop going over a limit you are not even aware of?

I ran the Men's Furnishings area at Robinson's (when there was a JW Robinson's) and men would call have us pick 5 shirts and 5 ties to go with a couple suits for a week long business trip. Almost everyone of them asked that we tie the tie and put it on the shirt so they could loosen it - and wear it without re-tieing the tie! My knot of choice? Half Windsor!

learned to do a four in hand myself after watching someone else do it. However, I detest ties - horrible things. Was forced to wear one thru school and when I started work. After the 4th time I caught it under my knee while crawling under desks I refused to wear one. When I did one of my vertical slice episodes last month where I dressed up as the spy from TF2 was the first time I had worn a tie since about 2002. No time for them soul sappers. Next up, abolition of the suit! ;)

Actually, after looking at this again, I do the Full Windsor

We added a 1-click login for Twitter users, so now it's easy for all your friends to try http://friendfeed.com

To RT, click http://twitter.com/home... It uses OAuth, so no password is required, and it automatically finds your Twitter friends on FriendFeed! It also imports your profile and picture. Big thanks to http://friendfeed.com/bgolub for making all this happen! (also, existing users can go to http://friendfeed.com/friends... to find Twitter, Facebook, and Gmail friends)
- Paul Buchheit
fan bloody tastic! So we can post here and Twitterers can comment away without any complaints! The only think you need to try and do is bring in comments (about a share) from twitter into here! :)

Refresh your FriendFeed to see an updated first comment from Paul, including a link to RT this news: http://twitter.com/home...
- Dan Hsiao
OK, I admit I'm dense. As an existing user will this help me find the folks I follow on Twitter?
- Laura Norvig
Cool, is it possible we could have the ability to bulk import or non-FF Twitter friends as private feeds so we can track them in FF? :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Laura, existing FriendFeed users should just go to http://friendfeed.com/friends... and click on the Twittter (and Facebook and Google) icons to find their friends. Kol, not yet, but I'm hoping to add something like that soon (improved imaginary friends).
- Paul Buchheit
Thx, Paul - guess I haven't been to that page since the launch. btw, I'm definitely coming around to the new friendfeed (colors notwithstanding).

Great to see the standards working -OAuth fro Gogole and Twitter login on Friendfeed

That's a great tool, Paul! Found a few from Twitter and Facebook I didn't realise were on FF...:)
- WorldofHiglet
Oh man, that is suh-weet. Works really well.
- Laura Norvig
Paul, that would be wonderful, thank you. I'm keen to use FF as a kinda Twitter client. I'd love the ability to import my group I've created on Tweetvisor too but that would additionally require exporting facilities from Tweetvisor, and from asking them they've told me it's low priority (which is fair enough).
- Kol Tregaskes
That's fantastic! Sharing with all of my not-yet-friendfeedified twitter friends. Thanks, Paul!
- Eric Johnson
This IS good. Thanks for the hard work, Benjamin Golub.
- Micah Wittman
Love that you guys are making the entry more enticing. What about refining what FriendFeed is further? Like: Twitter + conversation. For new people who don't get it and most without the time to get it, simplifying the message or experimenting further with your "first impression" on your splash page might be worth a try. Example: wouldn't it be cool to have a live conversation streaming to show just how FF has a leg up on the scattered Twitter stream?

WOW! 313 new Twitter people! Amazing what the OAuth did. Amazing. That just completely Rocks!

That was just too easy, and found a bunch of Twitter people. I just subscribed, but I hope they participate. I'm sure I'll have to trim later.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
Thanks for everything Benjamin and the others, that is really great. :)
- Alp
I was subscribed to exactly 100 of the people I follow on Twitter. Added 93 more. Funny, this is actually helping me find people I *don't* want to follow in either place.
- Laura Norvig
I'm looking forward to the "advanced imaginary friends" section which lets me as an existing FriendFeed user view all the twitter updates from people that don't use FriendFeed.

Some time ago I spent lots of time in removing my Facebook-Friendfeed integration, and didn't succeed, Facebook refused to remove it. Since that - no info about any other my services to Facebook, ever.

Happy to hear that there will be an improved imaginary friend option!

The improved imaginary friend feature will be great. No need to visit Twitter much then!

Smart move guys. A quick way to grow FF users is to tap into the current hot properties. Can't believe other Social Networks are so slow to respond.
- Neill Adamson
Paul, is there a way to sync it so that people I no longer follow on Twitter are unfollowed on FriendFeed?
- Jorge Escobar
Great news on the advanced imaginary friends. That plus the ability to comment back to Facebook posts as easily as we reply to Twitter would be killer.
- Kevin Kuphal
Finally! :-)

Not sure why this wasn't implemented a while ago but it's a welcome addition.

@Robert cannot seem to do that with groups. What I want to do: Concentrate different RSS feeds (e.g. newswires) which do not necessarily have an account in any other social network into one imaginary friend's collection of feeds.
- Mark Jacobs
Mark, "groups" (formerly "rooms") are able to import feeds just like regular users (and imaginary friends). See https://friendfeed.com/xoogle-... for example (imports the blogs of all known xoogle startups). The only thing special about imaginary friends is that they don't have usernames (or rather we assign a random 128 bit username).
- Paul Buchheit
Paul, the DM option on imaginary friends should perhaps be removed. Also, imaginary friends do not show up on the search dropdown list when you type in their name in the search box.
- Kol Tregaskes
Paul, is it possible to automatically create "imaginary friends" from twitter following list? What I would like is to read all my Twitter in FriendFeed; many of twitterers though are not on FF, so I have to create them by hand which is tedious. Also, it would be nice to allow to add them to some special list.
- Ihar Mahaniok
Ihar, see my comment up in the middle and Paul's reply. Looks like FF are working on it. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Nice tool, discovered some more contacts !
- François Granger
love this guys wonderful
- Thomas Power
This must be the reason for all the new follows I've been getting over the last few days. Congrats!
- Michael Fidler
That's actually quite useful. Thank you!
- snapixel
Still would like an imaginary friend than making bunch of Groups to simulate peoples that doesn’t use FF. BTW, unlike the Facebook Connect login, when I tried logging in using Twitter, it made a new account for me on FF instead of opening my own (which also has Twitter activity added).

Wow, real nice and simply to add my Twitter friends :O
