"Undeterred, Disney expects the Muppets to expand their fan base beyond nostalgic older generations to the age group between 6 and 12 that has powered “Hannah Montana” and “High School Musical” into international blockbusters. But how do you make 50-year-old puppets, even those as beloved to many people as these, relevant in a “Wall-E” world?"

Why are the "FriendFeed recommended" still the same old pile of social media A-listers who largely aren't active on FriendFeed? It seems like FF compiles a huge load of data that could be used to serve up a tastier mix of folks than this...
Lu Tao, Yolanda, FFholic.com and 57 other people liked this
wait, Mona is not on that list??? WTF
- anna sauce
I agree. This page is not very useful.
- Robert Scoble
Not so much A-listers as FF import-only-ers. I am a bit annoyed that they import only and never reply to comments. What is an A-list anyway? Show me a link to an A-list and the qualifications that got them there.
- Josh Haley
It seemed appropriate in the "early days" of FF - when this list of folks vouched for the early adopter cred of the service, but now with the tons of user data that must be available this list is almost meaningless - best to just hide the recommended link til it IS useful. For instance - I dig Mashable, but the FF profile has only left 5 comments TOTAL, and the feed is just an RSS ghost feed - yet is recommended.
- Steve Isaacs
why don't the recommended people change based on my current friend list?
- Jonathan Jesse
Josh - The "A-List" is an actual definition - people who are writers for popular tech sites/blogs, weblebrities etc. I have nothing against them at all, but it's clear that the "recommended" is not generated by an engine searching for similarities or even activity on the site, but serving just as a roll call of people you MIGHT have heard of who have FF profiles.
- Steve Isaacs
You know I compared yours to mine, and I get a totally different range.. a few A-List crossovers, but not like yours. http://www.flickr.com/photos... I think yours is a symptom of your popularity & fame and who you are linked to, and how many crossovers your friends have with A-Listeres... I think it's a valid question though, that there should be a weight for "activity ON FF" instead of just RSS feeds into FF
- anna sauce
It's probably derived from the number of subscriptions.
- Vincent van Wylick
agreed, it's not on.
- Zee.
mine are different now - much more diverse, still folks i won't be subscribing to though - that is the point after all ;)
- mike "glemak" dunn
do i need to write about this again? :) c'mon go read my posts about this on CN - it's a joke - in fact, people like Mona are supporting that lists ability to drive traffic to themselves - I could go on... here's my last post on this topic "ff doesn't care about mona" - http://www.centernetworks.com/friendf... oh and it gets better - go look at how many of them actually participate - nearly zero.
- Allen Stern
Allen: that list doesn't drive much traffic at all. Only a hundred per week at this point
- Robert Scoble
The important thing to note is Rahsheen's face dominating the "Most Liked Videos" sidebar on FFholic.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
and actually I don't know who comes from that list but in past month FF growth has been very slow.
- Robert Scoble
haha DJP
- mjc
I don't know about in beta, but in FF "classic" that list changes depending on who you are subscribed to. I used it a bit in the beginning but I don't look at it now.
- Laura Norvig
"only a hundred per week" - Robert, please stop now. 100 x 52 weeks (i give you the benefit of 100) = 5,200 you could hit with your "paid advertisements" like you did last week :)
- Allen Stern
Allen - I had already seen your video on this - totally agree with it - I just thought with the launch of the two betas since that things might have changed.
- Steve Isaacs
Allen: that number includes subscribers from all sources, not just that page. Also, out of 33 people who showed up today only two didn't tell me a Twitter address. So, FriendFeed didn't pull enough to care much about from a monetization angle.
- Robert Scoble
If I were FF I would show popular friends of friends and weight it in favor of truly active FF users, to highlight the functionality of the site. Then over time would add commonality of likes and comments to really get some solid recommendations.
- Steve Isaacs
Steve +1
- anna sauce
+2 steve
- Zee.
agreed steve - that would be a much better system and help folks new to ff get exposed to true foaf power users vs "popular" subjective picks - only so much the algorithm can handle right now i suppose and for the most part i'm still pretty jazzed w/ the changes being implemented so far
- mike "glemak" dunn
shows the abuse the term "recommended" has become- static lists, et al.
- anna sauce
The list does change per person, for instance, Mona is on my list. Not sure of the algorithm, but it should be based on popular/active FoaFers like Steven suggested.
- xero
It *is* based on popular FoaFers. It recommends people that are popular among your friends based on subscriptions and that you currently don't subscribe to. A-listers keep showing up in your list precisely because they are a-listers: they are popular among your friends. Rather than coming up with a convoluted recommendation system that basically is "no a listers," maybe a more elegant...
more...
- Mark Trapp
So my fix then would be to weight it in favor of being active on FF: making FF-native posts, comments, and likes and filter it based on that.
- Steve Isaacs
I've found more interesting people via the FF compatibility thing that went around a couple of weeks ago than via the recommended friends.
- Tai
The fix is MUCH better. Just used it

- Daniel J. Pritchett

Not a fan of the smaller width. 15 characters doesn't let things be descriptive, and the chopping off of letters for anything longer makes certain labels unreadable.

Good update, the left side is more natural for navigation
- Steven Cains
Don't like it at all. Don't like the left-handed navigation and I don't like the return of underlines beneath user names (although I can easily get used to that).

Ahhhh! Just when I got used to the right side..

Hey thanks I just notice this ... coool!!

@Bret - can you text wrap in the left panel?
- Hutch Carpenter
i've gotta agree with Akiva, not too keen on it am afraid. Back in 15 to explain why.
- Zee.
See the light underline under links now
- Hutch Carpenter
Shawn: sorry about the change. That was also a source of much debate, and we really appreciate the fact you took the time to try out (and get used to the Beta interface). The navigation on the right was causing enough people headaches, we are confident moving to the left is the right decision, but please let us know how you feel after using it for a bit.
- Bret Taylor
I don't mind it on the left, but it's too small, most of the room names are cut off. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
I like it Bret... KEEEP.. (word wrap on groups, etc)
- Susan Beebe
Should I switch to friendfeed beta
- orionstarr
Bret: I wonder how much help the room icons are at this size. If you removed them, that'd give more space for room labels. Not to be a naysayer though: I love everything else about the switch. Left is a change, but it's for the best. Love the icons!
- Mark Trapp
Its odd with the bar on the left after I've been used to it being on the left. But, unlike the Facebook beta this is actually good.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Whoa. This just happened like a few minutes ago. Nice. It's just the same thing but on the left, right? Yeah. Cool :)
- Dustin
@Mark: good point. The icons were easily recognizable in our testing, but perhaps the tradeoff is not worth it given these space constraints. We will iterate on the room name truncation issue - if these first few minutes are any indication, that is the main issue we need to address before full deployment.
- Bret Taylor
I second the "navigation bar is now too small". Definitely improvement on this is needed.
- Cesar Cardoso
Bret, cool. Appreciate you looking at it again! Like I said, everything else is looking great.
- Mark Trapp
I like a couple of things in the new beta: 1/ the Post interation; 2/ the links becoming more visible. Changing the navigation from right to left side is something that people will probably get used to. Anyway, I do think that you must do something about the listed Rooms whose names are not fitting in.
- Alex Popescu
Bret: I love the beta and like the changes to the sidebar EXCEPT for which side it's on. Would love to have a preference.
- Steve Ivy
Daniel J. Pritchett, noted. I guess sometimes you just don't know who your talking to.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
As Tim Hoeck asked, where are My Comments/Likes for the week/all-time?
- Mark Wilson
I would love to have a hide on that navigation sidebar if it stays on the left. Like the 'u' shortut for full-screen in Google Reader. It also feels a bit cluttered in the top left... maybe just because i'm not used to it yet.
- nadim
Posted this in another thread, but figured I'd put it here as well: the one thing I really like, although it seems like it's too aggressive right now, is the segregation of "inactive rooms:" I guess once rooms become more and more popular, not having any posts in a day would make sense to qualify as inactive, but I consider some rooms on the list active, even if nobody posted in them today. But the concept is great.
- Mark Trapp
Well, apart from freaking me out when I clicked refresh, I think it's going to take some getting used to having the nav bar on the left. Not a massive problem, though. Can I just add another vote for wrapping the room names. Having it cut off like that does NOT work.
- Brad Brooks
I like the nav bar on the left, and I like the new post and search parts. I do miss the tabbiness of the navbar though. I think it would be nice to still have some of sort of background change indicating what part of the site you are on - me, groups, etc. Keep up the good work!
- Robert Felty
Just noticed when you subscribe to someone now, it asks which list you want their feed in. ++
- Steven Cains
WIN!
- Capn' One Eye - adrift
I think the content on a person's page is too narrow. With the navbar at the left, the user's info box at the right, there is plenty of room left in the middle for the main content, but it uses little more then half of it.
- Peter
Actually, I really like this navbar on the left an a person's info box on the right, directly at the top of the page. With the older beta, it was stuck below the navbar items, and that was very distracting, being on someone else's page, and having my own things listed at the top. Now if Hao Chen does another rewrite on the user profile script, moving it to the right too, I'd be perfectly happy with this design (for now).
- Peter
Prefer it on the right - Reading the stream is my primary objective and having the menu/filter etc on the left takes my focus away from this as I have to learn to skip over it.
- Andy Davies
Peter: are you using Firefox 2 by any chance? We may have a rendering bug on profile pages that makes it narrow in FF 2. We are fixing now, but that may be the issue.
- Bret Taylor
i like the new layout, but I think people are reacting to a couple visual things: 1. the vertical divider line/shadow is very strong, so you see it instead of the right pane. 2. the logo overlap treatment pulls the panes together a lot, making readability in the top left area hard. can you make it less dominant?
- Michael Herf
totally agrees with Andy Davies : the ergonomy of reading is more important priority than the ergonomy of click. The navbar should be on the right side (no visual pollution on the area used for reading)
- Oaksun
it is better to let user control which side it is
- terababy
love it on the left
- Noah Carter
Great update
- Steve Chou
I also prefer the sidebar on the right. Giving the option to change it would be good. And now you can't expand the Rooms list without going directly to the all rooms view. mmm...
- Alejandro
The gray dotted underline for user names looks a little too subtle on this laptop, but I think it's an interesting idea. Perhaps a little bit more contrast, though it depends on the screen settings I guess. It might also be helpful to have the same kind of link style for other links which are currently still unlinked, like the blog reference in a "posted at ..." message.
- Philipp Lenssen
Loving the direction of the beta so far. I think the menus on the left is a lot more intuitive but currently could use to be a little wider. One idea for saving space might be utilizing the slide out/slide in functionality that is now available in google maps. That way it can be out of the way for those just browsing page by page etc.
- Tsega Dinka
(narrow content) Bret, yes I'm using FF 2. I see it is fixed now. Thanks.

Michael, they link to the auction. The screenshot on TC is of the auction. The shipping policy spoken about is of the auction. Melbourne Australia is clear on the screen shot they used, and if you look closely enough you'll see my name and address on the envelope under the book in the auction picture. Do I think he doesn't know. Not a flying f*&king chance in a zillion years.

Duncan, the only bit I didn't notice was your name on the envelope, but yes, you're right, it's not a big leap to connect the dots to you. Weird (and petty) that he wouldn't link to you, and good to see you rise above it with your comment about the charities winning.
- Michael C. Harris
and Michael, that's why I'm going to link to his post once the auction is over (I'll do a auction finished post). Even if the petty crap gets in the way along the way, it's the end result that is important
- Duncan Riley
fwiw (which is not much), Arrington claims not to have known, http://www.techcrunch.com/2008...

Michael, I saw that, and it's complete and utter bollocks. I don't keep a list of the stuff they copy without credit, but suffice to say, it's not the first time... There's also a group vote down of posts from an IP address in Atherton...but that's another story ;-)
- Duncan Riley
Duncan, in spite of the crap I see all the time, I'm still surprised when people are arseholes.
- Michael C. Harris
the nosy part of me is really intrigued as to what went down with you & Arrington. Why the fall apart in the relationship, why did he remove the awesome post he wrote about you when you left. Is this public news & i've missed it or all private?
- Zee.
Zee, you can work it out from the public record. Time to do some sleuthing :)
- Michael C. Harris
I've heard Arrington can be a phrick.
- Colide81 (James)
Zee, I didn't know he'd removed the post. Thx for letting me know. I've said it publicly already, things were ok for about a month, then I signed a deal with Tradevibes which Arrington told me was treachery and that he'd never link to me again among other things. It honestly came out of the blue. Seriously though, I don't take well to threats and bullying, and hence it came to be that I am now the Techcrunch anti-christ :-p
- Duncan Riley
I think I'm going to boycott techcrunch if that's how Arrington plays.
- Colide81 (James)
Colide81 if only that was the worst of it.... I don't believe in success at any cost, but it's a thought I've only been free to express post my employment there.
- Duncan Riley
I had no idea you didn't know. I thought he might have made a public point out of it (removing the post). By the sounds of it though, he doesn't really have any personal relationships and everything is work. I'm genuinely taken aback by his actions & if there were threats involved...on whatever level, people should know imo. It's also crazy that he doesn't enjoy the idea of competition...i've got friends in similar businesses as mine & whilst we compete head on..we still maintain friendships outside of it.
- Zee.
It's pretty bloody pathetic. Yep, pathetic is the word I was looking for all along.
- Zee.
Zee, I know. And instead, like with TC50, of letting the positives be the selling point, there's this obsession that to succeed means destroying the enemy at all cost. There are positives: Arrington is the hardest working guy I've ever seen, and no amount of dislike today changes that. TechCrunch has its position due to his hard work. I learnt alot at TC, like how to push page views, how to say shit I didn't believe for the next page view, and how wrong it is to hate on others by hating on others
- Duncan Riley
I learnt that I'm proud to believe in equality and treating people with respect, by seeing how other people don't. I learnt (not learned I'd note, which I was called up a couple of times on...it's learnt!!!) that the next dollar should never be the most important thing in your life

ok, that last one was a little out of order... :)
- Zee.
One thing I'd say is that Arrington is the best strategist in the tech blogosphere too. Some of his heat and fury is brilliant strategy, even though it pisses off lots. Like how he dealt with PR firms and taught them if they don't talk with him first he won't cover their stuff. I know lots of PR firms mutter "asshole" under their breaths but then make sure that Arrington is in first group to go out. Many times recently I've had to hold stories so that Arrington can go out with their news in the first group.
- Robert Scoble
yeah no doubt Scoble - absolutely no knocking his business acumen but i would most definitely not want to be in his shoes/mind put it that way. It must take it's toll.

These tests are very insightful. I was initially very excited about Chrome being 10 times faster on javascript. As usual with any such claims (not just from Google), they are skewed. However, I do think that Chrome entering the market will cause all browsers to get better more rapidly. Competition does drive innovation.

Agree, it is amazing how the article has been growing....

Everything I know about her I learned from http://www.vpilf.com/
- Gabe
"She and her father would sometimes wake at 3 a.m. to hunt moose before school"
- j1m
this should make Karl Rovites happy: "The fired police chief eventually sued Palin on the grounds that he was fired because he supported the campaign of Palin's opponent, but his suit was eventually dismissed when the judge ruled that Palin had the right under state law to fire city employees, even for political reasons"
- R. Ferguson
Can we really afford a vice president who might miss that critical 3 a.m. phone call because she's out hunting moose?

LOL, Jim! Thanks for transforming a pretty blech issue into something amusing :-)

Srsly, after seeing her on the news today I think the lady looks like a weird Fey-Lowenski cross. But yeah, I'm guessing Tina Fey will have some SNL special appearance gigs over the next couple of months.

I'z had a serious crush on Tina Fey to begin with...so politics be damned! "McCain's Wife/Fey all the way!"

we learned from the bush administration that good comedy is not worth having a ruinous whitehouse. not quite at least.

@Jason Carreira...I see his plan now...always "working" late at the White House with the VP? It's like a late night Cinemax movie plot....not that I'd know...

Has Tina Fey represented her Grandchild as her own child, too? http://www.dailykos.com/story...
- bill giltner
Good Lord! The resemblance is canny! Too bad she left SNL...
- Helen Sventitsky
I hope Tina Fey reads this and sets out to kick the ass of anyone who compares her to this halfwit. ;-)

In other news, the number of people wanting to work at Google has dropped by 15%.

Hard to believe. Maybe they decided to be penny wise and pound foolish after all.

This is similar to when the fine microbrews at various startups were replaced with PBR and Beast. Served warm. In a communal set of tumblers.

Dinner was always the least effective meal at keeping geeks at their desks. I saw it mostly abused by families who would zoom in to have dinner with Dad or Mom and then they'd all leave together. To my knowledge Google didn't even have a dinner serving before 2005 or so, anyway.
- Neil Kandalgaonkar
In my experience it's always far worse when a company removes a perk than if they'd never introduced it at all. It's like removing features from software--even if it should never have been there in the first place, users will scream murder if you try and remove something in a future release.
- Reto Meier
funny, funny (just coming back from my Google Dinner). this story is fake, as you can guess.
- Ihar Mahaniok
@Ihar nope, I couldn't guess that - at least based on the contents of that article. Why do you think it's fake?
- Kamath (नमः)
Kamath, because I know. I work at Google, I have eaten my dinner one hour ago, and my colleagues in MV are having their dinner in a few hours from now. Do I need to post pictures to prove this? :)

Ihar, maybe it's the Last Supper? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Blast from the past... Veronica Belmont favorited these June 3 before you joined FriendFeed http://friendfeed.com/e... But they aren't Vedia's pic [Flickr, 7/1/05]. Here's the biggest photo I found (500x348) http://de.fishki.net/pics2... Funny, I bookmarked them on Del.icio.us because I hadn't joined Flickr back then. Mona posts and gets 63 likes. Veronica posts and gets 6 likes. It's certainly livelier on FF now. Go Mona...
