This is one of the coolest sites I have ever seen. The site shows you a comparison of how big one blood cell is to a human egg or how big one droplet of water is to other things. It is very amazing.

Nope, still the second most visited site of mine, after hacker news. I don't know why I visit hacker news so much, it doesn't get updated with interesting, new stuff as often as FF.

Sorry I'm just wondering, so I thought I would see what others thought, since it has been a few weeks since the whole buyout by facebook.

There have been changes, but none that really affected FriendFeed's interest to me. I think a lot of tech people have moved on. Some see this as FriendFeed having died, but I just think it's different. I wasn't really here for the tech stuff anyway. I can get that everywhere else...
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Well its just seems slower around Friendfeed, not the same buzz it used to have is my point. There use to be a excitement here that I don't see now.

I don't think it's dead, and the crickets seem to have gone away for the winter.

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - H1N1 swine flu killed an estimated 3,900 Americans from April to October, including more than 500 children, U.S. health officials said on Thursday. Better data than was previously available shows the flu pandemic has infected an estimated 22 million Americans and put 98,000 in the hospital, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said."

"Pandemic is is an epidemic of infectious disease that is spreading through human populations across a large region; for instance a continent, or even worldwide." Its more of a regional thing.. cause it has crossed all over the world.
- CW™
I'll rephrase: So, 3,900 is reason for a national emergency and media hysteria?
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Now I would question the term Epidemic though. I don't think in this year, knowing the infectious part of the illness actually meets the requirements of "substantially exceed what is "expected""
- CW™
MVB, yeah. As it is in LA when it rains for two days straight, you get STORM OF THE YEAR announcements on the local news. :)

Plus it provided raitings. Where there is Chaos there is opportunity for people to make money.

I agree it could be much worse then just opportunistic people taking advantage of people, but its just the "Alarm" of this year. Gotta have something to worry about or people will be too happy and see the other shit that the world is in.

"She was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, California. But she is known as Marilyn Monroe! Her trade mark is: lisp, breathless voice, platinum blonde hair, voluptuous figure. The real blonde, the greatest blonde, the sexiest woman of the 20th century. She was a bright star! And her life story was really bright too. Sometimes it was happy, sometimes it was sad, sometimes it was really tragic, but she lived her life and she was worth of being Marilyn Monroe – the symbol of sexuality and femininity."

I did the PRT today, and I ran in 10:27. Best time I've had yet. So I passed my PRT though I need work on push-ups and sit-ups.

"Astronomers have discovered two new satellite galaxies of the Milky Way and one could claim the title of the faintest yet found. In the past two years, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey's measurements of stars stretching across a quarter of the sky have enabled astronomers to find several new companion dwarf galaxies for the Milky Way and its near-twin galaxy, Andromeda."

"A police officer and mother of one was hailed a heroine yesterday after it emerged that she almost single handedly ended the massacre at America’s biggest military base. Kimberly Munley does not look as if she would be much of a match for a heavily armed US soldier on a murderous rampage. But the slightly built 34-year-old civilian officer was first on the scene after Major Nidal Malik Hasan began firing on comrades at Ford Hood in Texas as they prepared to deploy to Afghanistan and Iraq. The 39-year-old psychologist killed 13 and left 31 others with serious injuries."

For the first time an infant neutron star has been been observed (blue dot in the centre of the image). The neutron star which is located in the "Cassiopeia A" supernova was photographed by the The Chandra X-ray Observatory. It is the latest stunning image to come from this telescope which has lasted twice as long as its original mission run of five years

"Internet rights campaigners are expressing serious concerns over information leaking out of the controversial Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) negotiations taking place in Korea. The ACTA talks are far-reaching international trade talks that have major implications for the internet, but consumer rights campaigners say the talks have been hijacked by lobbyists and negotiators for media heavyweights, such as Hollywood studios and Rupert Murdoch's News International."

"Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years."
