I love seeing Paul and Bret liking these things.
- Jesse Stay
me too.
- MG Siegler
And Eric Eldon :-) (Does this mean Eric's using FriendFeed more?)
- Jesse Stay
hey jesse - i actually never stopped using FF! we use it internally.
- Eric Eldon
Eric, maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention - you are now officially on my favorites list, sorry about that! (now embarrassed)
- Jesse Stay
Good times.
- Micah Wittman
Hey, Paul, you should post something like "I am the walrus" and see if it generates a TechCrunch article. Extra points if you can get them to say "monkey".
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken, I'm still unclear on whether being the walrus is a good thing or not.
- Paul Buchheit
I think it depends on whether you ask John Lennon or Lewis Carrol. Maybe you could leave that part out and just go with "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together."
- Ken Sheppardson
Paul - exactly - gotta wonder, what the heck did Steve Gillmor mean by that? Walrus, really?
- Susan Beebe
But at least it got everyone's attention that is good, but now we want to know what is next, anticipation, a lot like a ketchup commercial.

Awesome, thanks.

He was never a heavy user. Heavy aggregator maybe.
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
Arrington: I loved friendfeed right from the beginning and was one of the biggest users with one of the biggest accounts. But what I noticed is that mobs form easily on friendfeed.
- Louis Gray
Arrington: Mobs start easily ahead of the facts.
- Louis Gray
rad thanks for letting us know, turned it back on

- Matt Ruiz
Arrington: If I knew anything about video editing, I would have had names.
- Louis Gray
Arrington: They are unconcerned with the truth and reality at all.
- Louis Gray
I don't see you Louis?
- Matt Ruiz
Arrington: It's one thing on blogs, but on FriendFeed, these things break out and get angrier and angrier and angrier.
- Louis Gray
Robert's audio not working.
- Louis Gray

- Louis Gray
Bret: Most of the time when people talk about social quality of FriendFeed, they compare it to twitter. Conversations are attached to entries on friendfeed.
- Louis Gray
Bret: It can be a strength and a weakness. What would have been a decentralized reaction on a site like Twitter can be centralized on FriendFeed.
- Louis Gray
Arrington: There is a tiny percentage of people who is completely insane and real threats can happen.
- Louis Gray
typical overstatement
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
Arrington: If something bad happens, because of what happened on FriendFeed, it's your fault.
- Louis Gray
Bret: That's a complex set of comments in a simple sentence, so I am going to ignore what you said,
- Louis Gray
So anger doesn't build (for the agitators) from one blog post to another? —the anger on and around TC only started since the advent of FF?
- Micah Wittman
Arrington: You admit there is a problem about mobs forming on FriendFeed.
- Louis Gray
Bret: People who have very few followers or very many, the discussions aren't great.
- Louis Gray
yes Micah it's all FF's fault ... is the main thrust.
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
Arrington: I expected a big back and forth on deleting the account, but it was very efficient.
- Louis Gray
Bret: We haven't had many complaints with the exception of your incident.
- Louis Gray
Bret: One of the main things we are going to do is give the option to turn off comments in specific entries.
- Louis Gray
Link?
- Rochelle
"I would say that I--" "Agree." "Well," "But you were going to say you agree." (??!)
- Kevin Fox
Announcement!! (by Bret)
- Micah Wittman
Bret: You can turn off comments in your entries and feeds. That's a practical thing that we can do. There are other ideas, but they are being tested.
- Louis Gray
Bret: Let's say you are following Barack Obama, that's going to have reactions from a political spectrum. You might want to only see comments from your friends. He's not really your friend, but is a connector.
- Louis Gray
Poor Scoble :)
- Jérôme Flipo
Arrington: You are going to test things to disperse your user base?
- Louis Gray
Lame. Ustream crashes my browser. I'll look for a transcript later.
- Rochelle
Scoble: The real-time Web is going to bring it into your comments and other places. There is a mob mentality, and we caused it.
- Louis Gray
I can't believe this discussion is happening.
- Rodfather
Micah, it isn't really an announcement. Paul recently gave some hints about future FF developments. Watch here: http://www.techcrunchit.com/2009...
- Jérôme Flipo
Scoble: We brought a huge crowd, and you got into it with the country of France, and people are going to get in the bleacher seats and throw rotten tomatoes every once in a while.
- Louis Gray
Arrington: We have complete agreement that I am right.
- Louis Gray
Thanks, Jérôme.
- Micah Wittman
Arrington: I am going to reinstate my FriendFeed account, and I need techcrunch back.
- Louis Gray
Best line ever: Bret: That's a complex set of comments in a simple sentence, so I am going to ignore what you said,
- Brandon Mendelson
Surreal
- DGentry
(Pretty much done)
- Louis Gray
Some of the above comments are "best effort" and not direct quotes, of course. Bret is now off-stage.
- Louis Gray
I'm very glad Arrington is coming back
- Matthew DeVries
I don't like most of what he writes, and that is why he's needed here. I don't want an echo chamber of people telling me I rock all the time
- Matthew DeVries
the mob issues a mea culpa , arrington returns, everyone saves face
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
Bret rocks
- James Hull
"I am going to reinstate my FriendFeed account, and I need techcrunch back." <---- that's not the voice of privilege, now is it :)

"Mike, if you want this account back, DM me. Or something." <------ Group description of http://friendfeed.com/techcru...
- Micah Wittman
Whoever re-registered the techcrunch account put it in the bio that they'll willingly return it to Mike.
- DGentry
Allen: theatrics. Yes, plain and simple.
- Micah Wittman
I don't think entirely. Partially, flirting with mostly. But a big chunk of real.
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, I'm not entirely denying that. In the lifestyle that some choose to live, the real and the theatrical become fused into one.
- Micah Wittman
That was so unfair! I think we should turn into an unruly mob now. Kidding
- Michael Fidler
Too bad there's not a room for this.
- Michael Fidler
Free advice: Not to minimize the problem of threats, but it does not make one automatic martyr for life. Others have been threatened, and don't make a federal case over it. IMO.

Welcome him back here! http://friendfeed.com/dariusm...

"he tri-tip is a cut of beef from the bottom sirloin primal cut.[1] It is a small triangular muscle, usually 1.5 to 2.5 lbs. (675 to 1,150g) per side of beef."
- Paul Buchheit
from Bookmarklet
Wow, that cow map didn't really come through right. Tri-tip is delicious though.
- Paul Buchheit
Amazing a lot of people have not heard of Tri-tip. Seasoned up and cook right is an outstanding cut of meat. The pic of your tri looks nicely prepared.
- Admiral70
Yes, it's a California thing, which is too bad for the rest of the world. Fortunately for me, it's on the menu for tomorrow night :)
- Paul Buchheit
People haven't heard of tri-tip? I can't believe that. But more importantly, what happened to the cow in that map? Poor guy was left with only edible parts and no shell :( Weird transparency thing I guess
- Patrick Lightbody
Paul's Tri-tip is excellent. One of the top dinners from 2008. (Sounds like a new blog post!)
- Louis Gray
We have it out in Utah, too - definitely not a Texas thing, where I come from, but comes close to Brisket-quality if served right. :-)
- Jesse Stay
Like anything uncommon, it's not cheap. If you pay, make sure it's grass-fed.
- Phil Boiarski
Fortunately for me, I live in California where we can get tri-tip.
- DGentry
I LOVE Tri-Tip and I TOTALLY miss it...it's nowhere to be found in Rochester, NY as you know :) I never had TriTip in Huntington Beach, but saw it EVERYWHERE when I attended CalPoly SLO (San Luis Obispo). It's *huge* in Santa Maria, just south of SLO, as it's supposedly the "birthplace" of TriTip dinner: with those cute little red / pink beans, garlic bread, salad...YUM!! Yes, Louis do a nice blog post with pics so I can drool over here! :)
- Susan Beebe
WANT.
- Derrick
Yummy. I'd have mine more rare, but it looks nicely charred. Save those juices too!
- Will Higgins™
Tri-tip is meat of the gods. It's my dad's go-to cut of beef and mine as well. I love getting the whole tri-tip and then cutting my steaks from that. And then again, it's gorgeous just as a whole roast with a nice cracked black peppercorn crust and a red wine glaze....OMG I'm going to die just thinking about it.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I MISS TRI-TIP!!! They don't cut it like that in Texas...WHY??? This is where cows COME FROM! it boggles my mind.
- Josh Haley
I think we cut the beast differently here in Oz, I've asked several butchers about TriTip here and am alway met with blank looks; which is a shame as I really want to have a shot it.....any Aussie/Kiwi meat efficianados around?
