Check out the original 9000x2400 image. The bookmarklet, didn't know what to do with it. It even left out some of the detail on this one!

At #noagenda they'd say: "They're probably preparing for the airdrop of a tweaked H1N1 to be tested on the south african civilian population and moving out the diplomats for that reason."
- Dan van Moll
dan van moll: that could be the case, after all they already tried something like that during the apartheid, search for project coast and Wouter Basson.

@ovigia thanks for the hint. Now the plot thickens..

That documentation is outstanding. Saw it about 4 times already. Even though I have mixed feelings about James Nachtwey to be honest.
- Dan van Moll
I guess it's tricky to balance personal and professional life if you're doing this kind of a job.

Make sure to read "Magnum", interesting lecture about the world famous agency Nachtwey has been a member of before he founded his own agency "VII" in 2001. http://bit.ly/b0Dbh

My head is down because I had a twitter contest planned for work at 1:30pm PST- almost right when Twitter went down. And of course I announced the question was going to be at 1:30 *sigh*

Please hold on, we're working to get it up as soon as possible.

In case you are interested, I just stumbled and fell down :)

So, with all the hubbub over the FB + FF deal, how many are dumping FF straight-away (going to Streamy, Posterous, etc) and how many of you plan to ride things out?
I'm here as long as the content stays here; if it becomes a ghost town, or the content becomes all spammy garbagio... there would be no reason to stay.
- Dean "Karnatos" Michaud
Y'all will need a crowbar to pry my cold dead hands off of FF. That being said, I've already joined a couple of other sites just to see what my options are (uh, very little so far; I like the way FF rolls wayyyyy too much). But this is still my #1 crib.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Well, it's good to know there are some out there willing to ride it out. As Amanda so eloquently put it, "I like the way FF rolls wayyyyy too much"! ;) There is more "community" here (IMO) and I loathe the thought of having to find and/or recreate that.
- JA Castillo
Considering building a personal site with a blog and a real-time feed of other activities etc. At least I'd be in control of the content.
- Jemm
Riding............................ I'm betting I'll stick to Facebook though once FF goes away, cause it won't be that long before the FF features get rolled in there.
- Nathan Chase
Riding it out. I have no problem with the FB+FF deal, I think it is a good exit for them.
- DGentry
Checking for a lifeboat, but riding it out.
- Spidra Webster
Not ready to jump ship quite yet, but I will likely be reprioritizing my social networks and looking for other tools to fill the eventual void.
- Grey Drane
i will wait and see what TPTB decide to do with FF. streamy looks interesting, but doesn't seem like a FF replacement. the range of services you can feed into it is somewhat limited right now.
- Imabug
Staying until the end. FB will probably replace FF for me at least when it comes down to the social part. As for aggregation there are quite some alternatives out there: Tumblr, Lifestream, Virb, Posterous etc or even set it up yourself on a self hosted WordPress or something.
- Rutger Blom
from iPhone
I'm done posting directly using the bookmarklet and will be backing away from developing tools that use the API... and my usage will probably drop off significantly... but I'll still be around. It's also time to try to get all the tumblr/posterous/wordpress stuff sorted out again.
- Ken Sheppardson
I'm staying until I find something better, which I expect to take some time.
- James Myatt
Yes it loads correct for me, just not happy about going through safari everytime !!
- Karlheyes
Works fine with me on 3.0.1 - just made a HomeButton (quick link to the website), so Latitude behaves like an App.
- Dan van Moll
@Clark: Sounds like a provider issue to me. Probably AT&T again.. Here in europe Latitude locates your position approximately within 130feet.
- Dan van Moll
That's correct, In England, its 100 % accurate.
- Karlheyes
I love that Bret, Paul, and Kevin checked in. They probably are looking at their screens and asking "what do we do now?" how about ship some new features before Facebook overlords take you off to do bigger things?
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
I feel sorry for all you addicts. My use of it is purely social.
- Bruce Lewis
I do like FF and use it almost every day. Wouldn't it be great if FB either left it alone so we can continue to use it as "professionals," or somehow incorporate it into a more "mature" version of FB that didn't have all the annoying, time-wasting apps, games, etc. I'd much prefer a totally customizable FF "wall."
- Cathryn Hrudicka
I think FFundercats HO!!!!! would have worked but I'm here anyways.
- Jimminy
Actively fighting addiction to anything on a daily basis, but I'm still a FriendFeed fan! (I'd have been here sooner but I've been staring at Phoebe Cates pics for longer than I realized.)
- Mark Jepsen
Thank you Robert Scoble to be here. :) BTW is this looks interesting for FF replacement? : http://streamy.com/ ? May be... I'll try it to see. :)
- Claude LaFrenière
Why should I? Whats in it for me? You doing some sort of survey of people to send out the police to do a "Safety Check" on when the site is shutdown?
- CW™
here. anecdote: a friend of mine just signed up for FF this evening. apparently the FriendFeed hype of the last 24 hours pushed him over the top. leaves me wondering whether FF has actually gained users today?it would be a crafty way of marketing the service. I'll wake up tomorrow to discover that there was a problem with the paperwork and the FriendFeed team have had a change of heart.
- David Hall
from BuddyFeed
Count me in even though I was just starting to get hooked. I guess it's time to find a rehab and get all sobered up until the next relapse with some other new addiction. Isn't life grand?

oh hey, look, the added an "add comment" link to the end of the comment list. Huzzah!

++Jay. I was going to do the same thing yesterday but I didn't want to pay the money.
- David Cook
David -- this was a $9.95 session but you can get them for $7.95 and there are also 25% off coupons if you do online check-in prior to your Delta flight. That's an incentive for folks to use that service and offload kiosk use at the terminals. Very savvy marketing by the folks at GoGo and Delta combined.
- Jay Cuthrell
well, it's 12:12 a.m. and I'm perusing FF from my iPhone via BuddyFeed before turning in. so yeah, I guess I count. "Here!" (raises hand)
- Don Faulkner
from BuddyFeed
I recommend FF to some of my clients, and there are some companies and nonprofits with presences here—not like Twitter, but I'll be curious how that will be affected when FB takes over more. Most have FB fan pages, groups and/or causes, too.
- Cathryn Hrudicka
Yeah, me too. I just saw the request to have a comment link at the bottom of the comments from one of your friends just yesterday and here it is. I'd say they are listening. Thanks FF.

- Махатма Бугоганди
а можно получить профессию известного блоггера? какие экзамены сдавать надо? какую специализацию лучше выбрать - микроблоггинг или аудиоподкастинг?
- Махатма Бугоганди
Один чувак пришол в чятег и говорит я известный блоггер кто тут тру на первый второй рассчитайсь. А ему говорят чувак у тебя сертификат есть что ты известный блоггер? Вот иди Зайке экзамен сдай потом приходи. А Зайка стоит такой с топором и улыбается. Щас думает счастливым его сделаю.

More than a friend of FriendFeed, was starting to use it as a full lifestreaming platform and loved it. It's made a whole lot of other sites make sense.

Hi, I'm Bette... I don't know if I'm an addict, but I can't stay away... I keep checking, just to see if something's new... and I cry if I get no responses to a post. Is that addictive behavior? :D
- Bette Cooper
Yup, I have blocked all the impersonators now. You will still see them, but I don't see them and they no longer can comment on any of my items.
- Robert Scoble
@scobleizer As far as I can see you have blocked not only the impersonators (who renamed themselves back the moment they found out you have a problem with this) but most of the folks who chatted there.
- Махатма Бугоганди
@meatreach yes, see next thread. Scobble becomes anti-Russian.
- Never Impersonate You
Maxatma: well, that's just too bad. I speak English. Sorry. People who don't speak English really don't have any business commenting on one of my items, except in rare cases.
- Robert Scoble
Why you, Robert Scoble, don't block users from Spain or Italy? China or arabic countries? Those users that comments on non-English languages?
- Never Impersonate You
@Robert, in fact they do speak English. But they also do make fun of Friendfeed and everything that's going on there. You can block them or take part in this fun. ;)
- Махатма Бугоганди
I prefer FF over twitter and facebook, but all my friends are on twitter and/or facebook. Maybe facebook will get it right this time now that it has acquired FF. If they simplify it a bit more without removing functionality. Then I would spend a bit more time on FB. Lets hope all goes well with the merger. If not I'm jumping ship and going over to Google Wave. oh wait, I'm going to go with Google Wave regardless! ;-)

@scobleizer i can speak english and i beg you to remove bann from all russian friendfeeders, because we are all from it-community, working in internet companies and we came with peace, you asked for feedback from friendfeed addicts — we show you how really it is being frf addicts, we change names, we chat, we making things that are not serious. Why so serious? Unlock people, they are not bots, they just playing the game of real addicts and have fun. Common.
- ideali
shaun: I started this post to demonstrate that a lot of us are still here and aren't likely to leave. At least not quickly. So, life goes on after FriendFeed gets acquired by Facebook. Point proved.

Hector: good morning! I need coffee.
- Robert Scoble
@robert yes they (we will) stay here, I think tat the migration process will take time and after reading @Paul Bucheit, I think that what we all are trying to get even if we don't say it explicitly is to preserve a kind of intimacy (beeing a part of the Huge faceBook community) don't mean that FF community will preserve their intimacy, why should a community be a plan one, (let imagine a community as a set of sub-community) that all.
- abdellah
Wow!! So many likes and comments; is it a record Rob?
- Er-fun
@scobleizer thank you, for understanding. be cool, guys we just want have fun here a little. Take care.
- ideali
@Robert RE "I have enough noise in my life. I don't need to have more" - isn't it a lot of noise having 26K subscriptions and 46K subscribers on your frf account? I'm kind of surprised - you create a community that large around yourself, yet when you see a new and unusual activity you just block it right away.
- Махатма Бугоганди
@Robert, patience? Who's talking about patience? It's about curiosity, not patience. When something strange and unusual happens around you, you can either try to stop it or try to see what it can develop into. You choose to stop - and it stopped. Well, not stopped - just moved to some other place. And do you really know what it was and what it was about to bring you?
- Махатма Бугоганди
