I think FF is saying Mona hit her limit for today, lol - Outsanity
I liked how Rodfather liked this. Good luck Mona. - torque
Mona reached the comment limit? - klecu
sounds like you need a friendfeed patch! :D - Zee.
Work from here (PC + Google Chrome) - Stefano
@torque: I'm 'bumping'. Hopefully it's something that can be solved if more people notice. :) - Rodfather

Sorry Mona - Amber aka SDA
hmm maybe silpol, but doubt it - Zee.
Ya sorry... - Rodfather
<3 I'm on Gtalk if you want to scream at someone. - Candace Holly
The bad thing about Friendfeed is that it doesn't notify you if you reached the limit. What you can do to check that is to install Firebug extension for firefox, enable it for friendfeed and see if a click on a Post button returns an error. Happened to me earlier for hiding, so it's quite possible you reached the limit. - Mladen Srdić
If FF does have a limit, I'll die laughing - Outsanity
Well, it doe's have a limit on likes and hides, i can't see the reason that there isn't for comments. Maybe Mona became abusive (: - Mladen Srdić
why would that be so weird? - Zee.
Can post a comment as a new message using the title 'Re:<post title>' in the meantime? - Rodfather
it's Sunday technically now - if it is a limit - they're not going to get back to you for a while yet - Zee.
Not exactly. They replenish as time passes. I've noticed that I get a hide/couple of minutes, so my guess is that it works like it for comments and likes. - Mladen Srdić
true, unless it's like a spam alert and they want to look into the account first before re-enabling - Zee.
I've heard there is a limit. I know several other people that this has happened to. Mona all you can do is wait..... Till it comes back. - Colide81 (James)
Mona could use Twitter still - Outsanity
I am extremely active in five to six rooms and my main feed. This is a problem. Sincerely, Mona N. - Confessions Account via fftogo
Mona: this issue should be fixed now. Sorry for the trouble! (You did in fact reach a limit intended to thwart abuse - sorry it got triggered for your account!) - Bret Taylor
Thank you!! Am I the first person that hit the comment limit? HAHA - Mona N.
I think the only reason this happens is cause they are trying to stop spammer is my guess. Mona maybe you should make a complaint in the friendfeed feedback room. - Colide81 (James) via fftogo
James: Bret Taylor was kind enough to respond and fixed the problem right away. I *DID* reach my comment limit hahahahha - Mona N.
The first person to hit the like limit was Edyth, but I think you're the first to hit the comment. Now we have you back, so start commenting on stuff~ - Ben Parr
Jeez, how embarrassing LOL - Mona N.
Excuse me *goes in the closet and laughs like a maniac* - Outsanity
You win! - Rodfather
I wish I could hit the comment limit. I have heard of other people hitting the limit so though I wish you were the first Mona I doubt you are. - Colide81 (James) via fftogo
Thank goodness there are other FFers that talk more than me. - phew - - Mona N.
I only heard of polly/edythe hitting the like limit. - Monique
FriendFeed needs to install a counter. "You have X Amounts Of Comments This Week" - Outsanity

Mona I bet you are in the top 20 or even in the top 10 of FFers that talk/comment. - Colide81 (James) via fftogo
Yeah there is even a limit on likes! I can't believe there is a limit on likes. I can understand comment spam, but like spam!!???!! - Colide81 (James) via fftogo

@Chris Welle so wait you are saying that for every site friendfeed sends me to? Or that any link I see on friendfeed and click on friendfeed will get paid money?????????????? - Colide81 (James) via fftogo
:P - Chris W
Is that a Yes Chris? Also whered you hear this? I have heard from the people that run friendfeed that they are planning to put ads on the site at somepoint. - Colide81 (James) via fftogo
FF comment limit...Is there FF post limit? - Igor Poltavskiy
points to Bret and the gang for being on the ball there. There will be flaws in any human-designed system, and it's up to the high-volume posters and commenters to find them. - Slippy Lane

And I don't have any share buttons, SEO thingies, and like all those fancy things people put on their blogs. My top referrer is Google! How in the heck did this happen?! - Mona N.

Mona .. Wordpress is your SEO thingy :) - Tim Hoeck
What does that mean? - Mona N.
WP takes care of a lot of the keywords and meta data needed to get you traffic... - Tim Hoeck
For free? ...well duh. But like with every refresh, my page views goes up. It's crazy. And all my referrals are from Google. So I got indexed by Google because of Wordpress? - Mona N.
Congrats ! - Mr Jojo
They like you Mona! that's how it happened! :) - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
Mona - those are stellar views! Rock on! - Hutch Carpenter
Thanks guys, but I'm kinda confused. Why do people pay for SEO optimization then? And discuss how to drive traffic if Wordpress solves all those problems... - Mona N.
We wordpress.com folks don't worry about SEO optimization. We don't have ads. - Hutch Carpenter
Of course, WP is not the end all solution, but it does help. If you want more continuous/constant traffic to your site and regular high Google rankings - instead of one-timer, keyword based traffic, than you would want to look more into SEO. But that's just my experience... where's Charlie A. when you need him? :) - Tim Hoeck
Because some of us host on our own servers, Mona. We have to do all the work WP does. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
But wouldn't that be a bigger headache? I mean it sucks I can't customize or use plug-ins and make my blog all pretty, but I would've never imagined I'd be indexed by Google or like... have as much as traffic as I do, just from Wordpress. It's so bizarre!!! - Mona N.
You don't have to be on wordpress.com for the WP software to help with SEO, but it certainly doesn't hurt. Additional SEO would just improve your stats. - Tim Hoeck

“So I have a question: Would you guys be able to fall in love with someone you're not physically attracted to?”
September 13 at 6:01 pm - via fftogo - Link
Yes... because when you fall in love with them they become the most physically attractive person you've ever seen. - Shawn Duffy via twhirl

especially iranians think it should be ;) - atalmatal
Possibly. - Monique
Yep. - Akiva Moskovitz
Yes. - Yolanda
yes. +1 Shawn. - Parth Awasthi
Yes. - Rochelle
What Shawn said. Fall in love first, become physically attracted as a consequence next. - Bora Zivkovic
That's such an intellectual question. Show us a picture. But my guess is no way. Would women be able to fall in love with a man they don't find attractive? Why? You can't decided to fall in love, it just happens. - Dave Winer
personality is key because that's what keeps the chemistry going - Anthony Farrior
I don't know. Probably. - Tad, TV's Patrick Duffy
With each passing year, instant physical attraction happens less and less for me. I find myself physically attracted to interesting people--really. So, I guess that's a YES to the question. - Anna Haro
It's happened for me but none of said relationships have lasted. - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)
I think there has to be SOME level of physical attraction for LOVE love. - Herb
Like throw momma from the train ugly? Hard to say. - Rodfather
lol@ throw momma from the train ugly. High larry us. - Monique
Of course it's possible, Mona. But there's a "chicken/egg" conundrum here: what would attract me to a person I have never met so that I could meet them and fall in love? - Mark VandenBerg via twhirl
aaa... such a difficult question! In order to reply to this question, we should have experienced the situation! - nytreporter
I did, but in the end it didn't work out, but not because of that - William Harryman
YOU DON'T HAVE A COUSIN PATTY - Akiva Moskovitz
With strangers, generally, there has to be physical attraction... after all, why else would you want to meet them. But I've had friends who I didn't find attractive at all and, over time, you develop a strong attraction and then want nothing more than to be with them. - Shawn Duffy via twhirl
@Mark - you could meet someone online... it's been known to happen. :) - Lindsay Donaghe
I don't know i would need to like someone first but i imagine that i could love someone not all that pretty. - Cecil Sandus
no, but because of what shawn said :-). a semantic game, i suppose. but if i'm not physically attracted to you, we are not in love. that doesn't mean i can't/won't adjust my idea of what's attractive. but i don't think you can have one w/o the other. - tiffany
To those that said YES, what about the physical portion? - Mona N.
Do I have to take narcissism out of the equation? - "Oldengrey" Tannenbaum
Mona - we'd still want you if you were morbidly obese. :D - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)
I can't answer yes to that question. I believe there would have to be some level of physical attraction in addition to the other things that make me want to be with someone. - MiɳiMagɘ (AlwaysMiniMage)
hahahhahahah!! MJC!! - Mona N.
@Lindsay Would you meet someone on-line without viewing a photogragh? - Mark VandenBerg
@Mark, no, but I probably wouldn't agree to meet them unless we'd spent a lot of time talking and getting to know each other either... What's inside is more important in the long-run. Not to say physical attraction isn't a necessary component of success in a relationship but there are other things that are a lot more crucial (in my opinion). - Lindsay Donaghe
"We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities." - Thomas Mann - Bora Zivkovic
@Lindsay I just think there has to be some, some, ah, spark to get the ball rolling. Perhaps I am being myopic (been known to happen from time to time). And I agree that physical attraction is but one of a myriad of components that make a relationship successful. Trust comes to mind as a more important one... - Mark VandenBerg
@Mark - Maybe it's easier for women to fall in love sight-unseen based on personality. Men tend to be more visually oriented. Women more stimulated by romance (which mainly includes having someone pay attention to us and listening to us... online is a good place for that). These days we have avatars... back in "my day" of online relationships we just had text. - Lindsay Donaghe
umn, is "I honestly don't know" a valid answer? - m.i.a
@Lindsay Ultimately, if you intend to spend the rest of your life with someone you had better be compatible on many, many levels. Physical beauty wanes with time. I agree with the difference in the way (the majority of) men and women become attracted to each other, as well. And back in "my day" on-line was a place to put wet clothing... - Mark VandenBerg
I think the answer is no on that. But the levels of beauty is different for a lot of people. Some people dig some things while others dig other things. Like there is some females I think are beautiful that other people think are downright ugly. It's like what "cool" is to everybody. It's different. I mean that guys are very visual about things. And inner beauty can shine and change the view of a person. But there is still some visual in there. - Shawn aka ringking
Are they rich? - Louis Gray
I would need to like them for their mind. If I can't relate with them liking things they like then I would find it difficult. - Colide81 (James)
Louis! ha, ha!... YES, I could.. must have other strong attraction: intellectual, philosophical, religious, political - similarities? - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
VEry hard actually. But you can be physically attracted to somebody for lots of reasons. Sex is a big part of love.... - Keith Teare via feedalizr
No. I wouldn't - Kyle Lacy
Nope. I wouldn't - rampantheart
I'll have to agree with Kyle. I don't think I could. - Mark Wilson
@Mark - I agree - and I did connect with someone who I am compatible on many, many levels. We've been married more than 12 years now. I didn't see a picture of him until after we'd talked online for several weeks when I found out we had a mutual meatspace friend. I didn't meet him in person until we'd talked on line (not consistently) for more than a year. And I'd forgotten what that picture really looked like by then! I'm not sure if he'd seen a picture of me yet... Things worked out just fine. :) - Lindsay Donaghe
I'm with Louis on this one .... TOTALLY - Charlie Anzman
No. I was married for 11 yrs to someone I loved and wasn't physically attracted to. I won't do it again. - Douglas Karr via twhirl
yes. Having said that though, the scale moves depending on the level of looks. The uglier, the harder. - Duncan Riley
No, I could not. Some physical attraction must be present. - Stellina
Yes. It's happened, though it ended for other reasons. - Leslie Poston
Yes but I realized it too late to make something of it. That would be the danger of there not being phy. attraction at the beginning - you don't see it coming, you only see it once it's miles behind you and then you go "oh fuck" - Kamath ॐ
Silly question :) - Charlie Anzman
+1 Douglas - sirish
I'm honest enough to say no. I'd also like to say that my girlfriend of the past 14 years is hotter now than she was when we first met. :) - Chris Luckhardt
Love is blind? :) - Igor Poltavskiy
Pheromone goggles can be powerful. They're kind of like beer goggles, but more discriminating. - Logical Extremes
Yes. After all, I ain't pretty. - Steven Perez
I think the question is backwards. Part of "falling in love" is feeling a physical attraction. Obviously, we can love people to whom we're not attracted - family members, friends, etc. But romantic love and physical attraction are pretty closely linked, no? - Lon Harris via twhirl
