Thanks, just in time for my new 40D. - Alexei Tolkachev
thanks for posting this, Thomas!! i think i have some reading to do! - carlotta fancypants
the most useful one for me is actually the one that refers back to your workflow. I was going to email you about this, I am very pleased that you have documented this for us aspiring amateur hobbyists. That being said I will be sharing the link both here on FF and via del.icio.us. Once again thanks for this Thomas. - Carlos Ayala
thanks for the link Thomas - glad you liked it. - Darren Rowse
Thanks for the link. I should write my workflow up too. One day... - Jauder Ho via twhirl

Wow, the changes are amazing. - Vince DeGeorge
Explain Joan Rivers - Bwana McCall
Joan Rivers is 90.7% plastic - Outsanity
So are those women in the link... so I ask again, explain Joan Rivers :D - Bwana McCall
wait Joan Rivers is a woman? news to me XD - BCK
Genetics helps too-but pretty sure money trumps it all. - Crystal Clear via Alert Thingy
ok, i just looked at the images. Photoshop does amazing work. as for Joan Rivers, maybe she came from space... like The Blob - Outsanity
Outsanity, that's not Photoshop... that's plastic surgery. Bwana, every time I think of Joan Rivers, I go back to this scene in Brazil: http://i47.photobucket.com/alb... - Vince DeGeorge
i know Vince. i was joking - Outsanity
Wow, those are amazing! Gives me hope. :O - Lindsay Donaghe

Amazing how much we have grown... - Bret Taylor via mail2ff
How can you guys sit facing each other like that? I'd go nuts. Or at least get some sort of Nerf weapon. - Josh Lowensohn
I think Kevin has the best posture - Casey Muller
Great, how many people are you at the moment? - Leandro Ardissone
I swear the guy in the foreground isn't wearing pants. Cool office rules. - Jack Carlson
Paul rarely wears clothes. - Bret Taylor
This also looks like a "Battleship" tournament... Kevin, in fact, appears to be making the "you sank my battleship!" gesture. - Chris Reed
Great to see a company firing on all cylinders - Mike Doeff
Josh: the key is extremely large screens so you can't actually see the person in front of you. - Bret Taylor
Man, do people get sent to sit by the bathroom and public writeboard as punishment? - Stepan Mazurov
I brought a t-shirt to change into after biking to work, but I didn't bother. I might have made a different choice if I'd known it would be blogged... :-) - Kevin Fox
@Kevin: You match the rug and lamp so it's working. :) - Tsega Dinka
Awesome window into FF Bret. Really like the transparency and willingness to speak openly with the community and those who are critical of FF. Enjoyed that Qik inteview by what's his name... - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Wow you guys have really grown and your office looks more colorful than the "garden variety" Google office space! - Bindu Reddy
Keep up the good work. You'll all have corner offices soon :) - Andrew Smith
i hope one of those people is working on the "page 11" bug! - Nick
I'm with Josh - I'd probably go crazy, no matter how large the screen. - Ontario Emperor
Wait, there's somebody on the other side of my monitor? - Casey Muller
im all up in paul's code now! and that guy in the orange really sits up straight - Allen Stern
I want to go and meet Bret, Paul, Dave, and the gang!! - Susan Beebe
I see nobody will finish off that Old Time Candy. As your mothers likely told you, you can't have more until you finish what you already have! - Louis Gray
Louis: we ate all of our favorites. Apparently no one wants to eat the wax lips. That was the best gift we have ever gotten, by the way. You rock, Louis. - Bret Taylor
Bret, but shouldn't the interns _have_ to wear the wax lips as some form of initiation? - Louis Gray
So that's where all my attention went! :-) - Robert Scoble
I want FF schwag! :) - Leandro Ardissone via twhirl
Looks Cool! Good working environment. BTW, the guy on the left with the white jacket in the back looks like Sayid from Lost :-) - Guido Rossi
wow, looks much better than the IT cubicle hell that I work in! - jerry
It looks so different from when I visited two months ago! - Lyndsey McGrath
can i work there :) - Jay Martinez via twhirl
I like this place - accesine
Weird! I don't see the picture on freidnfeed.com - but in Alert Thingy it works!!! - w0nk0
"Paul's code?" I thought that was a kernel panic. (squints at picture) - Karim
..and now, 10 minutes later, I see it. Flock ff3 bug maybe? - w0nk0
hah! looks like you guys are gonna need more space soon :-) - tracy apps via twhirl
The code isn't a kernel panic. You can see the blue bar at the top showing it's a window. Looks like a cool place to work. - Here's... possible248!
I wish my office looked more like that instead of a cubical farm - Josh Smith
I forgot the closing </joke> tag on my "kernel panic" crack. Though, of course, if it is a kernel panic, I spotted it first. lol - Karim
The last time my office looked like this was when I was in gradudate school. - Khürt Williams via twhirl
Did they buy that new fan to deal with his bare feet? - Victor Ryden
从这个角度看,似乎有些拥挤了 - Liang
Bret, it was really great to meet you today and do the panel together! - David Sifry via twhirl
looks like the find I was hoping for-mahalo! - Crystal Clear via Alert Thingy
look like comfy chairs - Geoff Longman

Congrats on the growth of the team - David Vasileff
Wow! Cool.. You guys keep your desks pretty clean!! - Jigar Mehta
Hi guys! *waves* - Yolanda

wow..where are here? - Jaycai
Very cool... - Mitchell Tsai
Scoble's face is blown up on posterboard and tacked to the inside of the restroom door. Eek :) - Aaron Brazell
Father Scoble is worshiped @ FF... OMG that's awesome! how funny! - Susan Beebe
funny to see how people sit - LPH

I saw that coming too and just groan and wish it could be stopped - Crystal Clear via Alert Thingy
You can probably tell someone is a marketer, if their very first tweet isn't about what they had for lunch. - Brooks Bishop
Didn't @jowyang try to start that conversation last November? The key, as I commented then, is that you can't market to people unless they follow you and there are few if any brands that I'll follow. - Barry Graubart via twhirl
Worse still are those accounts that seem to spam out to every member "Hey, like what you're doing, let's follow each other." Seriously, is there some sort of botware out there enabling this behavior? - Marc Vermut via twhirl
Well, this isn't really all that exciting. Either way, someone on Twitter is promoting something. Whether it be a new blog post or an ebook...it's the same thing. Plus, you gotta follow them first. - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
This is what the block feature is for. I never get any spam from Internet Marketers and only follow the people I want to follow. I see no problem with this. - Chris Rodgers via twhirl
I was reading newsweek today while bored at the gym and was shocked to see an article on it and tumblr (unrelated but still :p) - BCK
Besides, if an Internet Marketer is good at what he does, you won't even notice him prospecting you >:) - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
*groan* tis the lifestyle of many a web 2.0 service - awesome community forms... then the spammers start piling in. - Jason Kaneshiro
it was a lame attempt to smear me. my response: http://www.income.com/blog/200... - John Reese

It's been pretty quiet so far, but there are a few floating around. The problem is that they can easily jump into conversations that you're actually interested in. - Harvey Simmons
Don't like this idea at all. The day FriendFeed implements some kind of up/down voting or karma mechanic is the day when FriendFeed jumps the shark. - Akiva Moskovitz
@Akiva ... pssstttt .. I was being funny ... I realize that they can't; or shouldn't do something like this .. I was just voicing my irritation over one particular goof that makes me cranky everytime he shows up like Harvey said in an interesting conversation. - Steven Hodson
You mean me, don't you. DON'T YOU. - Akiva Moskovitz
The "Scoble" alert. :-) - Robert Scoble
I was silent all the day :( - directeur
I'm actually surprised by the average level of the conversation here - but still - it would be nice to be able to filter out some users completely. But then, I'm surprised anything could make you crankier than you usually are :) - Frederic
I'd rather filter content seriously... Some idiots spark nice ideas sometimes... You never know when they do this ;-) - directeur
who here is an idiot? comment or like. - Julian Baldwin
yikes! - Mary Anne Davis
@Julian no one that has commented so far :) - Steven Hodson
I called most Friendfeed fans idiots before, does that count ;-) - Alexander van Elsas
LOL @ Robert's "Scoble Alert".. yea, he does seem to magnetize the dirt right off the walls!! Steve... you're are most correct... we need a warning and an eradication system as well. ;-) I haven't had to do tooo much house keeping on my posts (delete idiot troll comments), but it is appearing more and more inside FF - Susan Beebe
Every couple of days, I think "I'm going to unsubscribe from everyone who makes a dumb comment on FF." But we're all a little dumb from time to time and I'm no exception. Throwing out someone for a dumb comment walls one off from everything smart they're going to say tomorrow. That said, there are times when I'd like a block or ignore button for the complete idiot. - Todd Mundt
You better be careful who you call an idiot. - Igor The Troll
We are an insecure bunch, aren't we? all of us think Steven is talking about us (myself included!). - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
@Todd, I'd like to assume I wouldn't use it willy-nilly. :) But there are a couple people who may be beyond redemption. That being said, I'd probably just stick to individual comments. It would take a lot for me to completely nuke a user. - Harvey Simmons
@Todd: Sometimes i feel there's not enough smilies to transport the tense of my words too, while I'm being humourous, no one understands ;-) - directeur
Maybe a *HIDE x USER* feature would be the solution we need. - Susan Beebe
OMFG! Did Mike Skehan just join FriendFeed? - Robert S. Robbins via Alert Thingy
@Igor you might call yourself a troll but at least most of the times you add intelligably to a conversation whereas the person I am referring to doesn't appear to be able to add an intelligent thought to anything except maybe to continue in the self-absorbed belief that he is clever beyond words - Steven Hodson
Something like this would be nice. There are some users that I've un-followed that I consistently get via FOF that I really don't care to follow. It's not bad now, but for God's sake @Scoble follows EVERYBODY. ;-) - Daniel Shaw
Damnit, Steven, now I know you're talking about me. Because I am clearly clever beyond words. I was thinking of using pictograms (or at least WingDings). - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Steven maybe we can help him? I think people deserve a chance and a bit of friendship makes them and us as better. But I do know what you mean! Don't give up, if you do you become some of them that we really hate! - Igor The Troll
(looks nervously in mirror) wait, what if you ARE clever beyond words? what THEN?!?!? - Karim
@Daniel: He is filtering, he will never admit it, but he is doing it ;-) - directeur
I'd love to see what other people's blacklists look like, and more importantly, if I'm on them. Right now, I have 3 or 4 people on mine. Kinda like those Twitter blacklists that emerged just before the great Twitter diaspora of May. - Mark Trapp
But then nobody would read what I have to say! - Chris Nixon

no, too clunky - Anthony Farrior
Unusable :) Inaccessible, I hate sites made this way - directeur
There's just so much time in a day, you know? - Tom Landini
There's so many things to do, too :) - directeur
nah; too few of the people I follow use it, the UI makes it kind of difficult to follow the ones that are there. - Evan Sims
just not enough going on and yet at the same time, too busy looking - edythe
that was my issue from start. Think it is gimmicky. Will wear off. Hard to follow - Crystal Clear via Alert Thingy
i haven't signed up to see how it works but from what i see it looks too busy for me. i hate to say it (but, i have to) but, it's almost like an extended version of Twitter to my eyes. to answer the question at hand: i doubt i would use it daily. - Outsanity
I have to play with it more but I kind of doubt it. No specific reason why other than perhaps I prefer the layout of FF and if I've got an extra 3 hours to spend I find this more enjoyable than Plurk. But who knows, I've got to play with it more. - Thomas Hawk
Nooooooooooooo FAIL! - Susan Beebe
with a twhril like client side tool it might be interesting. - Sean Reiser
Regardless, I think it just rose to become the Twitter alternative. So expect more news about plurk as time passes. I think the interface'll improve, but nothing's gonna beat Twitter. Hell, I'm not even sure Twitter'll go mainstream. - Ben Parr
@Ben i feel it's basically Twitter but all fancy like - Outsanity
Scoble says to check out the mobile version, supposedly much more usable? Will have to try it. - Joel Gray
<sarcasm>Amen</sarcasm> - directeur
Interesting presentation but usability could be a prob for frequent use. Too early for the market - Akshay Dodeja
I just went and looked at the "Interesting Plurkers" link. Make the bad web stop! *cries* - Yolanda
I've noticed that the same interesting people I follow here are less interesting on plurk. EG. More of the "i'm brushing my teeth" or "i'm having a sandwich" than anything with substance. Maybe that will change with more friends, but i'm finding it very hard to make friends there without a public stream or search. - Doug Brooks
Nah. - Aaron Myers
I seem to be a minority, which is nothing new here, but I do love Plurk - It's so fun, seriously... I'm sad that so many of you are not even interested... But that will make it less likely to crash like Twitter, which is good for those of us who do prefer it over Twitter! :) YAY!! - Paula Hawk

i don't think there is even a m. yet. The website is so minimal it'd almost work in a mobile browser ;) - David Petar Novakovic via twhirl
does www.fftogo.com not work on your blackberry? It should. - J. Phil
there is - i think it is fftogo or sumthin - Crystal Clear via Alert Thingy

I signed up today... looks ok :) - Larry via twhirl
just signed up - the timeline bit at the top jacks with vertical scrolling, which I find annoying. Again, if it's going to replace twitter, it needs to get twitter's userbase :) - Brett Kelly
I don't thnk its twitter replacement- just a toy for a while I think - Crystal Clear via Alert Thingy
that's probably a very fair assessment :) - Brett Kelly
I think it's very slick. IM works. Just needs an API and some disgruntled Twitter devs. Wonder if there are any of those lying around? - Leo Laporte
I don't need 'yet another backchannel', sorry plurk - DC Crowley
Seems pretty cool but it will take some growing into. - Paul L. McCord Jr.

Good to see you and Twitter "clear the air" about the power user misunderstanding. Great interview. :) - Nathaniel Payne
Great follow-up vid - MG Siegler
Really enjoyed this - good to see them reiterating how there's no simple fix to their woes. Hopefully they can keep hobbling along until they can get all the kinks worked out! - Brett Kelly
still watching the vid really great interview - Charles Rice via twhirl
You did a great job Scoble. I am not convinced the air is cleared but nice of them to say it was not due to you. - Jeff B
Hey Robert talk to you buds at Microsoft. Maybe there looking to spend of some of that Yahoo leftovers. - Jeff B
Nice job Robert. I look forward to the follow up video where they discuss how they solved the problem and explain their lessons learned. Good stuff. - Michael Carter
This was the first video that I watched on qik and it was the most painful experience of my day. Is it always this slow, buffering for 20 seconds every 20 seconds. My internet is working just fine, in case that was your first thought, like it was mine. - Tim Wright
my first vid on qik too and it was not slow or buffering-go figure,huh - Crystal Clear via Alert Thingy
