As Elmer-DeWitt notes, this analyst has been wrong in the past, quite wrong when it comes to Apple -- which he doesn't even cover on a regular basis. All that 40% iPhone production cut news today should be highly suspect. - MG Siegler
“New feature: The "publish to Twitter" feature now has an option to link directly to the source site instead of linking to the conversation on FriendFeed.”
Also, it's easy to convert the ff.im links by adding or removing a '-' from the path. For example, http://ff.im/5eY links to the conversation on FriendFeed, while http://ff.im/-5eY links to the article on VentureBeat. - Paul Buchheit
aww man, you guys have been on it! Fantastic - thank you for listening to us. - Zee from WeDoCreative
Would love an option to opt out of posting a particular conversation to twitter. Some posts I would rather stay on FF and not go to twitter (where co-workers linger) - Kamath ॐ
this is a great ff feature it let's me post everything from ff - Kelly Johns
Excellent, ta. Can we have an option to post to a separate Twitter account other than the one we use for replies? I know you can change the Twitter account on this page but it also changes the account that is used for replying to tweets on FF. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
Would it be too much to ask for a Ping.fm or HelloTxt option? Posting to Twitter is all very nice, but there are other microblogging services... ;-) - Voyagerfan5761

Your Ping.fm option is... to use Ping.fm - Outsanity
I'm still linking to FriendFeed. This helps to promote it. - Ryo
It seems the publish to twitter does not respect the selection of feeds. I do not want to twitter my delicious feed, so I deselected it but I still have it in my twitter.... Am I missing something ? - Antoine Bertier
This is a freaking nightmare. Voting is a constitutional right, and this garbage is interfering with that right. Demand a paper ballot! - Stephen Foskett
After voting people off left and right during spring sweeps they've really been milking the final round. I can't believe the old guy made it this far. - Kevin Fox
It seems like it has been dragging on forever at this point though. I'm looking forward to it being over. I just hope that they don't end up extending the season the way they did in the 2000 series. - Paul Buchheit
@Brian Did you miss these DVDs from The History Channel? http://tinyurl.com/5sgajf They are heavy on the serious stuff but don't seem to include a lot of the drunken orgies that the contestants usually end up in. - Ryan Kaisoglus
"Hello. I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama has not accepted Joe the Plumber's friend request on Facebook. We know he's logged on, because we saw he changed his status on Monday. On Tuesday, he joined the group Art Historians Are Saucy. But he still won't accept Joe the Plumber's friend request. He knows it's Joe. Joe uses the screen shot of the two of them together as his profile picture. That's not a uniter. That's the same old liberal-elite politics as usual." - Kevin Fox

"Hello. I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama doesn't use his turn signal when he merges onto a freeway. I mean, seriously, who the hell does this guy think he is? He just goes. It's not even like he attempts to fit in. And I'm not talking lone-wolf maverick style, either. I mean, this is the kind of driving that gets people killed. Much like the bombs of Bill Ayers that could have killed countless Americans. That's not change, my friends. That's the same old Washington politics as usual." - Ana

Religion and politics are hot button topics. Guaranteed to fire people up. If you have the energy to deal with the drama, great, if not then write about other topics. - TDavid
Indeed. I need to stop writing them at the end of the day, though. I hate waking up to a bunch of nasty comments. That's better reserved for a mid-day diversion. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
ever hear Live at the BBQ by Main Source? - Carlos Ayala
mona, i respectfully disagree. if you're talking all time, this has got to be an entry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.... even for pete rock, i'd have to go with Play Dis Only At Night - Eric Eldon
Carlos: That is too obscure, even for me LOL @Eric: Jay-Z = business man :) - Mona N.
ok ok ok...how about.......Whats the Scenerio???? Claaaaaaaaaaaasic! - Carlos Ayala
oh yeah, and Jay-Z doesnt even make it into the top 100. sorry. - Carlos Ayala
ATCQ = all sortsa WIN... and Carlos, that's stretching it. He is EASILY in the top 10, but definitely, not 5. - Mona N.
jay-z? really? lyrically, musically? or profitability? i'll give him the latter by a longshot, the others...way too much comp out there for him to be considered. - Carlos Ayala
Overall package. That man's discography is insane! List your 10 - Mona N.
on a pop level? sure, no question. you want my ten, tracks? or lyricists? - Carlos Ayala
pop? NO WAY. Jay-z IS hip-hop. Just because he is a business man, it doesn't make him 'pop' - Mona N.
thats debateable, because even within the hip hop industry there are elements of pop. i call it urban pop. a current example....lil wayne. is he hip hop? hell no. - Carlos Ayala
Are you kidding me? Please don't tell me, you're like KRS.. 9 elements in hip-hop? NO, dude. Hip-hop is hip-hop. Regardless of if you're 'mainstream' or 'underground' - Mona N.
I'm sorry....Li'l Wayne isn't hip hop? that statement really does not compute for me... - सत्याग्रह [Bren]
want another example? kanye west? is he hip hop? hell no. but he was when he was a hungry producer. - Carlos Ayala
So you have to be 'hungry' to 'be hip-hop'? FAIL! Ye IS hip-hop, too... Wait, what's your definition of 'hip-hop'? - Mona N.
Hip Hop does not equal Rap. Rap does not equal Hip Hop. Proceed... - ♫ Rahsheen™
in reality its 4 elements. and in many ways i am like krs. see the thing is that true hip hop music is not radio friendly. therefore not marketable. what we are discussing are marketable acts. an no sorry, lil wayne is not even a rapper. - Carlos Ayala
rahsheen, agreed. therefore my statements carry even more weight when you think of it this way. - Carlos Ayala
hip-hop = culture, a way of life. if you're a part of the game, you are hip-hop. - Mona N.
I just don't follow your argument regarding wayne...so, who is 'hip-hop' by your definition? - सत्याग्रह [Bren]
you are right mona. but the game has been skewed in such a way that it killed rap music. this happened in the 90's - Carlos Ayala
Lil Wayne does say some ill stuff sometimes when the syssurp is hittin him just right, but it's quite possible he is something besides a rapper - ♫ Rahsheen™
but we already established that hip hop does not equal rap...so what does the game being skewed have to do with hip hop? and I still dont know what constitutes hip hop for you, Carlos... - सत्याग्रह [Bren]
wayne is a fabrication that came out of the drug game. i get it. many have done this. but he is not a lyricist. think of guru, black thot, large prof., kool g rap, big daddy kane, most of the wu tang clan, nas, mf doom, and the like....then compare. see the difference? - Carlos Ayala
wayne is a fabrication? I'm going to have to just drop this portion of the thread, because I really don't follow your argument, sorry. - सत्याग्रह [Bren]
So in your opinion, Weezy is what killed the game? (and i'm not a weezy fan, btw) - Mona N.
The game was dead long before Weezy. Ain't I older than him? LOL - ♫ Rahsheen™
Carlos, I must respectfully say...you're buggin' out. - Jason Toney
Mona - no, i just ended up singling him out. i think that where ever he came from is what killed the game. there are many issues here with the back end on the executive level. but you know the difference. look at he songs we are favoring on last, pandora and blip...its not lil wayne and the like. at least for me it isnt. - Carlos Ayala
I refer to the Mighty Mos Def - "People talk about hip hop like it's some giant living on the hilltop coming down to visit the townspeople. We are hip hop. Me. You. Everybody." - Jason Toney
Regardless of whose fault it is, I love hip-hop (the entire culture and all of its elements), especially the music. Even if most artists produce hot beats & garbage lyrics, I still respect every single one of their hustles. To call them "not hip-hop", IMO is simply wrong :) - Mona N.
Mos is a very intelligent dude. he knows what he is talking about. and he is one of the few that embodies hip hop....and can still be hollywood. - Carlos Ayala
Mos is an actor, recently, more than an artist ;) Just saying. Who's on your top 10, Carlos? - Mona N.
@jason maybe i am. but you will have to clarify your point a bit better. - Carlos Ayala
mos studied acting. he is very well educated as well. he is both. he still dropping albums left and right. - Carlos Ayala
Fair enough :-) Hip hop, by its very nature, is fluid, changing, constantly in flux. Today, more than ever, hip hop defies definition. It is a global yet highly localized force for communities of all stripes and types. To define hip hop MCs by such a narrow definition destroys the entire point of hip hop. We can all agree that Rakim and Nas are lyricist's supreme but that doesn't make them more hip hop than Rich Boys, Soulja Boys, or Lil' Waynes of right now. - Jason Toney
so who's on your top 10 of all time? better yet, who's your G.O.A.T. - Mona N.
these different areas of rhyme don't compete with each other, they complement each other. Unless, of course, somebody starts a cipher. Then, we'll see how they get down head to head. And that, sir, will be hella hip hop. - Jason Toney
Nas <3 illmatic = best. album. of ALL time /end - Mona N.
a top ten is hard for me...but off the top of my head i'd go with, in no particular order: mf doom, nas, black thought, guru, mos def, large prof, biggie, ghostface, rakim - Carlos Ayala
missed one....lets tie it up and kool g rap, big daddy kane, and krs - Carlos Ayala
ahhh.. wutang's and outkast's first albums bring back memories - Rodfather
nice list :) but IMO, biggie (who i consider my top three, easily) was one of the main reason hip-hop went so 'commercial' per se.... just a thought - Mona N.
Jason, well stated. I am with you on this. The issue I have, and I realize that it is my issue is that I have a problem with the quality of the product. And to my ears its that quality that denies it its place in hip hop. To me, what is out there (commercially)...is really not hip hop. Sure it came out of hip hop culture but I cannot embrace it. Its just very difficult for me to articulate it. Ultimately, its subjective. - Carlos Ayala
Mona - you are absolutely right. Puff was one of the driving forces of the decline. - Carlos Ayala
Mona in the house. You know your stuff. I'm impressed. :) - Tsega Dinka
You guys are actually not disagreeing. You are all correct. Maybe it's all hip hop, but I agree with Carlos about not being able to fully embrace some of it. I'm not sure what it is, but it's there. - ♫ Rahsheen™
Tsega D: You learn something new, everyday, huh? ;) Carlos: It's not the Diddster's fault. He can't dance, and has a HORRIBLE flow, but the man can SELL. (even if he's the Grim Reaper of the industry) Biggie, bridged the gap b/w hot beats with INSANE lyrics. Diddy just capitalized on it.. So the Weezys, Jeezys, and the beezies...? HA! that came after, are not entirely at fault :). But I still love the music. I mean come ON, can you really groove to saaay Nas? Talib? Doom? up in the club? - Mona N.
Carlos, I feel you on what's poppin' on the radio not being my particular cup of tea. My favorite hip hop releases this year are all mixtape joints from the likes of Wale, Rhymefest, and Kidz in the Hall. But that's the point -- we're at this point where there are hundreds of hip hop albums each year. Just 10 or 15 years ago, there were probably only 25 - 50 a year that mattered. Who cares if Weezy is at the top of the heap if the heap is a mile high? - Jason Toney
and just to give context of my listening habits - last.fm says my top hip hop artists of the last year are: Rhymefest, Wale, Madlib, Jay-Z, M.I.A., Talib Kweli, De La Soul, Kanye West, Common, J Dilla. - Jason Toney
Believe me I know, I freelanced for bad boy's marketing dept for almost 3 years; after biggie was gone. I know what he was capable of first hand. But honestly, the music I am arguing against does not move me, it actually brings me down. But I know what you are saying and I know that if we were in a club on the dance floor together...i assure you that i would not walk away if one of these wack tracks came on. i'd make it happen, no question. - Carlos Ayala
thanks for the discussion all, i wish this had taken place face to face...time to clock some ZZZZzzzz's. nite all. - Carlos Ayala
LOL @ Rah's shameless plug HAHA!! @Carlos, indeed, it was a good discussion. I haven't talked about music in a while, so it was nice =) I'm about to head to bed too. G'nite, y'all! - Mona N.
Whoa. So much discussion stemmed from this classic track. What about Pete Rock?! Guys who just rock it. I used to drop this track whenever I could in the club. One of THE classic old skool tracks that just has that 'vibe'. Still listen to a lot of hiphop, but it definitely ain't what it used to be. Ever since the Chronic where the game changed. And that's the beauty of hiphop. It evolves. Whenever they say it's dead, it changes form. - Mike Chang
@Mona, what kind of hustla would I be if I didn't "pass my cd" to obvious music lovers? LOL - ♫ Rahsheen™
mona remind me not to get into another deep discussion at 4am. That was tough on me. ;) but I got alot of adds as result. (I've since reciprocated) too bad more peeps did not participate, I would have had a crew behind me. J/k @mike pete rock is one of the staples of hip hop there is no question about it. "I won't stop rockin til I retire!" a record like troy was needed to spark this convo. - Carlos Ayala
in other news, lil Wayne is still crazy wack. But I wish I had his loot. - Carlos Ayala
LOL. Been there, done that (Petstore.com - we didn't like that dang puppet.) Shipping heavy pet food isn't a great business plan unless you have B&M stores to back it up. - AJ Kohn
Gabe, having watched that bubble, this comment scares me because I agree it's likely to be truth. Ack! - susan mernit
Gabe, are you going to be covering BubbleTech08? - Edward Vielmetti
Corvida: Louis' article really enraged me. I just am tired of dealing with the nasties online. Normal people are always nice. Something about the Internet makes nasty people feel entitled to get in your face. I'm actively working against that. If I see someone be a jerk against someone else I block them. I just have zero tolerance anymore for jerks. They can go someplace else. - Robert Scoble
Robert, doesn't that count as censorship? It's great to see you and Louis bringing these issues to light btw since you reach so many people... - Mona N.
@scobleizer - cannot agree more. wonder why there are so many oversized egos today - ming yeow
Mona: no. censorship is only done by governments, not by individual citizens. And, anyway, censorship would only happen if I took away their right to publish what they want. That's what their blogs and/or their FriendFeed accounts are for. Freedom of speech does not guarantee that anyone will listen. It also doesn't mean you have the right to pollute my communities. - Robert Scoble
Mona, Robert isn't saying he's going to stop people saying anything. He's just stopping listening. - Michael C. Harris
... and, beaten. Do you people just constantly hit refresh ? - Michael C. Harris
Robert: Do you moderate all of your comments? ---which I think is great due to the sheer volume of responses and feedback you probably get. Not that many people take the time to do so :) - Mona N.
Mona: yes, I do now. I used to let anyone comment. In fact, on my blog, I still let most any random jerk still post there. But I'm definitely decreasing my tolerance for that kind of behavior. - Robert Scoble
Robert: Now that I think about it, I see how your patience can run thin. Especially in the www where it's avant-garde and people use individuals like you and or Louis to gain exposure..... It's fascinating - Mona N.
Mona: yeah, one tool of an attention-hungry person is to start a fight. Think about high school. Did anyone pay attention to the geek? No. But did everyone pay attention to a fight? Yes. Humans are attracted to jerks and bullies (and salacious stories). It's the downside of our culture. - Robert Scoble
Robert: You think? If anything I think it's opposite on the internet.. People recognize attention whores and disregard them... - Mona N.
Mona: I think that's true long term, but short term they definitely love a good fight. - Robert Scoble
@Louis @Robert Thanks for those words. You shouldn't get yourself worked up over this Robert. You're strategy for ignoring them is the best you can do, but those people just aren't worthy putting the type of energy necessary into getting angry with them. It's terribly draining and it's more negative for you than it is for them. - Corvida
Mona: in general the FF crowd is absolutely wonderful. I think that block is going to let this community go on for a long time without getting polluted. Corvida: oh, I have built up a thick skin about this stuff, but there's no reason why I need to have it forced in my face anymore. They can take their vitriol to some other neighborhood. - Robert Scoble
Robert: That's why I am SO addicted to FF... quality > quantity and most of the individuals ignore the negative attention whoring individuals. It's quite refreshing and I have to admit, I prefer the FF interactions over real life... wow. maybe i need new friends =\ - Mona N.
Corvida, awesome response at SheGeeks. I think this demonstrates that social media is not inherently good, and the banality of evil can be amplified as well. - Elliott Ng
The same people dishing abuse will also be the most vocal when it comes to them being blocked. - Ross Maguire
The world is full of crazies, both on- and offline. Thankfully, they seem to be an annoyingly vocal minority, but their reach is sometimes disproportionate. Most of all, they love seeing themselves talked about. - John Samuelson
With all of the amazing things to learn and share with each other it saddens me that cowards (and that's exactly what they are - insecure, socially awkward cowards) have to hide behind their computers and spew ignorance-laced venom. I love FF and the social communities for the building of my personal and community knowledge. People that look to destroy that special creation (knowledge, community, etc.) are dead to me. Rock on Corvida. - Morgan
Scoble can I have a private conversation with you somewhere? I won't take up much of your time. - Corvida
Corvida: call me anytime. +1-425-205-1921 - Robert Scoble
Mona: my cell phone number has been on my blog for years. I get very few calls at all, which is just great, and almost all of the ones I get are very high value. You can call anytime too! - Robert Scoble
wow, that's insane! people don't crank call you?! - Mona N.
Mona: I get a couple a month. Think about it. If you call me I have your phone number and can crank call you back. (I don't answer calls that don't use caller ID). - Robert Scoble
but... that's so personal! Maybe it's because I've always separated my real life with my internet life I'm more apprehensive. Actually I'm thinking of inviting myself to the dinner you're planning to have with your family and Louis'.. I'm a good babysitter HA - Mona N.
Coming in late on this one. I've noticed it more and more that people are becoming abusive on the web (in chat rooms, in comments on blogs...including TechCrunch), it's ridiculous and I'm glad to see people are trying to take a stand against it. Stand strong Corvida...the FF community has your back! - Justin Korn
I agree 100% with Robert Scoble. "I just am tired of dealing with the nasties online. Normal people are always nice. Something about the Internet makes nasty people feel entitled to get in your face. I'm actively working against that. If I see someone be a jerk against someone else I block them. I just have zero tolerance anymore for jerks. They can go someplace else." - Joao
Great article...but even better discussion. The FF community has become just that. - Chris Nixon
The greatest part about Louis and Robert is they involve themselves in discussions.. As I become more immersed in the Twitter/FF community, I've noticed most "A-listers" are one sided... I truly adore FF... actually I think I'm in love with it. Like.. I want to marry FF and have FailWhale babies together <3 - Mona N.
@Chris Nixon, agreed. I'm glad to be here among thoughtful people. What went down in Corvida and Wayne's interview is just disgusting. Corvida, your continuing to do your work with dignity will always draw people to you and away from what I hope is an ever-decreasing hateful minority. - Ayşe E.
Mona N, I thought you wanted to marry Google. Now you want to marry FF too. - RAPatton
Won't take them long to destroy it and stifle any innovation, don't worry. - John Samuelson
Yeah, is it stupidity or fear gripping me over the fact that I have my GrandCentral number on my business cards? - Adam Helweh
Google acquires GrandCentral: it goes nowhere. BT mebbe acquires Ribbit: it almost certainly goes nowhere too. These founders allow themselves to get acquired because (a) they crave validation; (b) they believe it solves their new customer acquisition problem. It doesn't do (b). It never does. Good luck with feeling validated guys! - alan
or (c) they want to get paid.....I wonder what BT will do with Ribbit, their acquisitions have been puzzling (Dabs?!?!?!) - Cains
Another Telco-web2.0 acquisition in the last two months.. - asha vellaikal
Haha nice. It seems pretty inevitable, which is both exciting and scary :/ - Dion Almaer
There's a lot of misinformation about what "singulatarians" actually believe. Not everyone agrees with Ray Kurzweil's notions that he'll live long enough to upload his consciousness. The best resource I've found is Michael Annissmov's Accelerating Future blog: http://www.acceleratingfuture.... - Dan Kaplan
I'm all for it, only I say let Kurzweil go first when comes to the first downloading of brain contents. That way if something is missing, we'll know pretty quick ;-) - Dean Terry
Interesting, we were just talking about this last night: http://friendfeed.com/e/b3ce29... Doing a quick search, looks like singularity is on the brain of Friendfeed lately. Ooooooeeeeeoooo. - Mark Trapp
As long as more and more people spend all their time on FriendFeed, there won't be too much AI technology being developed. :) - Chris White
i think its at least a few years off, so you can relax, plenty of time for you to get used to it before it happens :P - bob
It's just amazing that I haven't seen any of the movies where this happens (Terminator, iRobot, etc.). What else are people working on from within the FriendFeed headquarters that can kill me? :) - Ana
I took Computer Ethics at SDSU (where Vinge taught) and one of our assignments was to compare Vinge's singularity essay to Ted Kaczynski's "Unabomber Manifesto." The similarities are rather striking. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but it is extremely fascinating the differing approach people take to similar topics. - Brooks Bishop
to counterbalance computers that are super smart, we need humans who are freakishly strong. - eviltom
I always thought the first sign of the singularity was twitter. sigh - Elad
Thanks for posting that link to Vinge's essay, Michael. You're right - a mind-boggling read on a fascinating subject that hadn't really crossed my radar until reading this terrific thread. Makes me appreciate FF all the more for putting it in front of me. Could its increasing popularity be another of the early signs indicating the onset of the Singularity? I think we should be told. - Bob Kingsley
movies are pretty bad at showing the future; they tend to show things that *look* cool - Amit Patel
@nick: Thanks for that wired link. Thanks to all for discussing this topic - very interesting. - nadim
Since there seems to be interest, most of the best reading on this is SciFi. Vinge's "Rainbow End" and Stross's "Accelerando" are probably the best "What happens when (if) the Singularity happens" books. (Interesting to note that Vinge is an ex CompSci professor and Stross is an ex-perl hacker). If you want to get scared by the singularity read "A Fire Upon the Deep", though. - Nick Lothian
@Nick: thanks for the link to the Bill Joy essay. Another fascinating, absorbing read. - Bob Kingsley
Ana, you should keep your eyes out for human sized bugs, among other things. - Clare Dibble
I'm a singularity skeptic - increasing compute power doesn't solve basic problems like global warming. - Piaw Na
Will the Singularity happen? Never say never, although I am a skeptic. I do think most Singularitarians completely underestimate the complexity of human biology and by orders of magnitude - Deepak
That's actually a pretty common response. Interesting side: I knew my wife was a keeper when she instantly took to the idea, not frightened or put off at all. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
@Deepak agreed, and there's also the matter of assuming that they've figured out and are right about basic metaphysical issues argued for centuries. As we've learned in recent years, certainty can be dangerous. Like I said above: Kurzweil goes first! - Dean Terry
I've said this before, I really like and agree with Kurzwiel but I have issues with the diet of 100s of pills a day (to make it to the singularity) and the very odd alter ego his future self becomes. I'm also troubled by the poor graphics on his site :) They really need some of that exponential love. - Doug Brooks
Kurtzweils accelerated returns theory is probably true and implies an upcoming singularity event. But the singularity is crucially dependent on the computing-biology interface and I agree with @Deepak and @Dean terry that biology is the limiting factor and that biomedicine is not in the steep part of the S-curve, - yet.......The singularity must come at some point however, and unlike @Amit Patel, I believe it will look extremely cool.... - Nils Reinton
@Deepak etc I'm also a skeptic. There was a good podcast from ITConversations about some of the barriers to the singularity - I can't remember who it was by or even what conference it was from, though. - Nick Lothian
I'm not sure about an ITConversations podcast, but there's a 2004 Long Now talk from Bruce Sterling where he explains why he's skeptical: http://www.longnow.org/project... - Jen Dodd
@Piaw, it does if the Singularity decimates or destroys humans and our demand for housing, transportation, food, and other global warming activity. - John Lam
btw you should read the gentle seduction by seigler - arjun
wow, this is interesting... gotta read this! - Susan Beebe
Not sure if this/he is racist or not but from all appearances Feldman is a bit of tool and deserves to lose this deal regardless. - Brian Sullivan
I've stated that the video itself is definitely racist and have refrained from labelling Loren himself. But I've been trying to find an apology and this is all I've found: http://www.1938media.com/offic... - Shey
it's sad that people choose to cast off a racist video like that as "comedy" or "satire" and instead attack those who who have a valid gripe with it as being too "pc." there's responsibility that goes along with having a forum such as that one. this clown shed all responsibility when he chose to make a mockery of an entire group of people. funny? what world are some of you living in? - Cee Bee
I put more faith in Corvida's judgment than in any of the other responses to this that I saw. She's a Verizon customer. She's part of the racial group that Loren was doing an alleged parody of. And I respect that it's up to her to determine just how offensive that is as part of those two groups. -
