I don't know I just like that picture - Brian Hendrickson

Mine was exactly 2:1 about a week ago. Did a screenshot when I had 2,000 comments and 1,000 likes. - The Ghost of Library Past from iPod

SuezanneC, Brian, B E N and Joe - thank you all very much! - Micah

Joe, it's like see the odometer click through a nice round number - it's just inexplicably engaging. :) - Micah

Wow I didn't realize I was so out of whack!! 12.23 that's got to be a record (and I don't even import my feeds with the summary as a comment)!! - Chris Myles

.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

Thanks, Bren. - 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

There are certain scenarios that require user data to be sent in order to make the user experience better, as suggested by http://tinyurl.com/3yue6c. Which if you read closely, discloses that Google collects exactly the same information if the user installs Google Toolbar and opts in particular features. - Franci Penov

Hi, Franci Penov! Remind me what part of MSFT you work at? I guess I thought that Google's disclosure at http://bit.ly/2Jiwrg with the big red capital letters and disclosure in the first sentence was more clear than MSFT's disclosure, which was buried deep in the IE8 privacy page. - Matt Cutts

Doesn't it say that it is the search provider which collects this data, and not the browser? That means it's more equivalent to the third bullet on this page. http://www.google.com/intl... - David Owens

Ah ok, wrong bit... - David Owens

9 processes are loaded with the browser in Windows (No doubt toolbar type tracking processes). You can turn them off but it's not as easy or obvious as recent efforts by Google and Yahoo to opt out. - Charlie Anzman

hmm.. well you can find out this much information about visitors to your websites and blogs too. But if MSFT finds out this info, they're blasted? - Imran Hussain from feedalizr

Matt, I work on Windows Live Toolbar. :-) I have not seen the big red letter warning you point to, as I have not installed Google Toolbar (exactly because of the product I work on). But you could've just mention that you have a problem with the disclosure clarity. I'll make sure your feedback gets to the IE guys. - Franci Penov

http://tinyurl.com/6q9vou - Chrome Privacy Policy. Not as obvious as Google Toolbar big red letter warning; I personally had to dig a little bit around before I found it. I'd say about as clear and discoverable as IE8 Privacy policy you complained about. :-) - Franci Penov

Franci Penov, thanks for passing on my feedback to the IE guys. I don't think Google Chrome has anything to hide (e.g. it doesn't send your browsing info to Google as you surf the web). In fact, I just did a separate write-up on the communication between Chrome and Google. Read it at http://bit.ly/2jnBYZ - Matt Cutts

Imran, I think it's fair to point out that IE8 gives users virtually no disclosure that their wholesale surfing data (including queries done on other search engines) will be sent to Microsoft if they turn on this innocent-sounding feature. - Matt Cutts

Sure! iPad changed the game - Guy Vander Heyden

54 more comments

maybe it would stay and grow like android did ipad is nowhere near chrome OS notebooks - testbeta

Why? Couldn't ChromeOS and Android become the equivalents to Apple's Mac OS and iOS? - Pablo Melchor

ChromeOS feels structurally cleaner, more futuristic. I mean, it's so... thin! - Toph Tucker

Because ChromeOS has no purpose that isn't better served by Android (perhaps with a few mods to support a non-touch display). - Paul Buchheit

also predicted: bear sh!ts in woods. even eric schmidt has said publicly that chromeOS was a side-bet against its own android. as for Mac OS and iOS, eventually we'll see a unified iOS on those, too. - Patrick Keys

Yeah, I was thinking, "is this too obvious to even state?", but then I see people taking ChromeOS seriously, and Google is even shipping devices for some reason. - Paul Buchheit

If Google were to take the "activity model" of Android and add it to Chrome as a way for different apps to interact/share data than from a developer perpective, there is not much value in using a proprietary Android dev model versus using HTML5++ (unless may be for games). So from a developer/programming model, Google would be better off killing Android - Chrome/ChromeOS is a better WebOS. - Edwin Khodabakchian

ChromeOS = 1 Laptop Per Child / dumb terminals. If that works, then yes. If it sucks, then your OP is correct - Johnny

That or like the dream of a lot of Apple users (iOS sitting on OSX so you can select either), ChromeOS could be the browser-based corporate solution for road warriors on the Android system. - Johnny

If it has no purpose, then why does it have competition? It's true competition is from MeeGo/ JoliCloud/ Win-7 Basic/ Ubuntu. Its undoing could be Intel Atom vs. Dual Core ARM Cortex A9. So currently the purpose is to be the the Android equivalent for x86 machines. - Umang Saini

Hah, TechCrunch has already picked up this prediction: http://techcrunch.com/2010... - Bruce Lewis

I think that a lot of people are seeing the browser as the one and only future app platform, and given that, I think that Google is hoping the need for native apps will simply go away. They're in the position to influence that through Chrome (the browser). Chrome has been built to speed up overall market innovation. On the app side, they make sure that all "basics" can be done on the... more... - Meryn Stol

Minitel... - FullSite

In the end, Google might not even care that much whether people use Chrome OS or not. Just like Amazon doesn't care if you use the Kindle (the hardware). Google just wants to be the full-service middle-man in your overall "computing" experience, just like Amazon wants to be the middle-man for books (or reading). But like Amazon ensures there's a superior end-user experience for their... more... - Meryn Stol

Minitel - Good one alex - PXLated

That the "simplified" user experience is qualitatively different than the "regular" or "traditional" user experience is a common mistake developer-in-a-bubble organizations make. It really is a matter of degree, not quality: there's no reason why, with minor modifications to the interface, certain devices couldn't just boot up Android's browser by default and give the same benefits... more... - Mark Trapp

To be honest, Chrome OS sounds more like the product Google wants rather than the product that's actually successful (Android), and that alone is its raison d'être. - Mark Trapp

like friendfeed last year - Ibrahim Ozturkcan

Whether they are merged or not, I am happy, as a consumer, that Google has taken the pains to put out two champion products - Android rocks (on the phone) and Chrome the browser rocks (can't talk about the OS since I don't have access to it yet). From the UX perspective, if they could make the COS work on tablets, it would be a bigger win than Android running on tablets. - Suresh R Iyer

well, numbers will decide ;-) => millions of smartphones +tablets - JacopoGio

Possible Google Strategy:- Own-up Java with Android, Own-up Linux further with Chrome OS. - Vinod

If this is the Sun terminal revistited, then there is no reason to keep it around. I want my free laptop before it's all over though. - Eric

Having used the closest (refined) product out there to it, Jolicloud, I have to say it's (VERY) fast, highly addictive...and actually a time saver for me. Agree the 'merger' is likely but Linux still has a huge base of developers that don't cost Google a dime. Think a better question (any predictions?) might be ... What's going to happen to Firefox? (and the huge Google infusion that goes along with it). - Charlie Anzman

Mark - Yes, probably because it's Schmidt's long running wet dream, the network computer. - PXLated

ChromeOS is little late. - Ashish

Chrome OS greatest achievement is bringing full web browser to ARM Processors, so we can have $99 ARM Powered laptops soon. Sure it would probably be possible to add Android functionality to Chrome OS (an extra icon in the task bar) and vice-versa add a Chrome browser icon in Android as well. The main thing is the web browser needs to be optimized for embedded Linux devices that are ARM Powered. - Charbax

mind sharing a prediction as to when they kill friendfeed? - солнышок

I think it'll kickstart HTML5 if anything. I don't think it'll outright die though. There will be a use for secure terminals and kiosks. For normal consumers, a cheaper netbook that only browses the web without really worrying about the OS is appealing. - Rodfather

If I'm hearing Meryn correctly, I like the idea that Chrome could push things away from app-happy land and back into browser land. I think apps are kind of a novelty that needs to eventually go away or, at least, be reined in. I hate apps that don't do anything different than what a browser can do. - Laura Norvig

hi paul, I'd like to ask you a couple of questions about your opinion for wired.it, may I have your contact by private message? - Silvio Gulizia

ChromeOS to Android - Yes. Browser based OS in the mainstream long past overdue and really a reality today with Windows - just track my wife's usage. I could though plop a well configured ChromeOS notebook or tablet down in front of her and she wouldn't lose a beat and nor would probably about 75% of her world(friends, family, etc) and we geeks would love not to have to deal with more... more... - Brad Nickel

Laura, I think ChromeOS apps will push sites to go toward 'app-happy land' in the beginning. The current site will be the standard website where everything will work. Then an app-like site using HTML5 to prep for the mobile app. A UI that would work well with the common denominator of mobile devices, the browser. - Rodfather

What about Linux? Any predictions there? Figured I'd ask while everyone is feeling "predictive". Was an Ubuntu mention, but it seems like the Linux conversation has been muted lately. - Liza + = ?

@Paul Buchheit (TeamFrank), what you're failing to see is that Web 3.0 is the world trend now, is not something google suddenly invented. Also, the Chrome Web app store will be the one who defines if cOS is successful or not, just like in android. I think google has learned lots in this area, thanks to androids app marketplace. and remember even if you like it or not, web apps will... more... - manny

@Liza hollers, actually chromeOS is based on linux (i think ubuntu). So all progress made either way the other one will benefit from. Specially on the Kernel and web technologies. - manny

I am not really sure why there are two operating systems from Google in the first place. Has anybody supplied a rational explanation for the duplication of effort? Is this likely to be a costly mistake for Google? - Brian Sullivan

the best combo would be for the android browser to continue to import features from chrome, including the ability to install a web app on an android device, have its icon show up in the apps list, etc. - Karl Rosaen

So everything in android runs on a java virtual machine, which in turn runs on linux. Chrome has a blazing fast conscript engine and it to runs on a modified linux. Chrome must also have a basic jvm to support java applets in the web. So realistically all we need is google to as the android jvm backbone into chrome os!

Currently defaulting to Chrome in Win 7 AND Linux ... latest rev is a huge improvement in speeeeed - Charlie Anzman

It's getting to the point where it pretty much doesn't matter if you're using something modern. Browsers, like OSes are becoming just a commodity. - iTad

chrome has too many flaws to use primarily. its password management and ability to save/restore sessions are not up to par, changing directories to save files is unintuitive. I'm typing this in chrome right now, but i have firefox open too - Richard Lawler

I dunno Richard, I've switched over and pretty much never looked back. Every once in a while I need to open up Firefox because firebug does something that web inspector doesn't, but that's becoming more and more rare for me. - Eric Florenzano

If you don't use it a lot I'm sure it works fine, but I can't tweak the UI the way I want (not having vertical tabs is a sin) and when it crashes and loses my tabs there's no way to get them back. - Richard Lawler

I have no desire to see it, but I did dream of it last night and, I kid you not, in my dream the end of the movie was "... and he was next to die!" - RAPatton

Wow definitely going to see it now - Rodfather

More like no one wants to stand in front of the bus carrying the trillion dollars this thing will make just by being about facebook. - Geoff Schultz {TF}

Geoff, the fact that it will make more money than Jesus didn't stop the critics from panning Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen or Twilight. - Mark Trapp

I don't really see a story about a social network as a big draw at all. Now FarmVille, that's different. - Rodfather

I don't know, I think there is a segment of the population that is just in love with facebook as a brand. Truth is it's the same damn story thats been told 1,000 for pretty much every amazingly successful company. - Geoff Schultz {TF}

I saw an interview with Mark Z. and he said he's seen it and it's almost all fiction. Not that that makes it a bad movie, but I thought it was interesting. - Rochelle

Not surprised, I was expecting at least a 90%. They decided they -- Ben Mezrich, who embellishes stories very well, and Kevin Spacey - Trigger Street -- wanted to do this while making 21, so it went almost straight into production right there. Fincher and Reznor where big bonuses to me. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

I didn't expect the movie to suck, but people are talking Oscar nominations. Surreal. - Tudor Bosman

I just want to see it because it looks like the guys behind it told a solid story and it seems like it will be a good drama, even if it's not accurate at all. I definitely want to see this for the story. But I'm skeptical of the continued 100% rating and comparing it to Citizen Kane. - Jonathan Hardesty

Yep. It could have been about MySpace. If a movie is getting good ratings, I want to see it. - Rodfather

I figure it's about as close to the real thing as the movie-within-the-movie in Pee Wee's Big Adventure. - Rob H.
