“Why are the pictures and videos from tumblr not visable in friendfeed?..”

hmm ./.. i like knowing you posted something there, but i dont want it here .. - Gregory Lent

You should have woken up at 6:30. Then you would have seen the announcement at 11:00. Sometimes, it's important to take a break from official work duties and enjoy certain moments in life. Last night was one of those times. - Bryan Person
@Bryan No way. I get a much bigger charge out of my work. It's my passion. - Steve Rubel
One of the nice things about being overseas is that I am 12 hours off, so I was able to watch everything while eating lunch. :) - Justin Long
Y'know, Steve, I'm just sayin' ... every once and a while you have to step away to get a little perspective. Not miss the moments that just might be changing the direction of the country where you work and can follow your passion. - Bryan Person
@Steve: But I'll give you this: You're certainly up front about your geekiness and passion for what you do. Applaud you for that. - Bryan Person

Nice! Wish this was on the right side. Coz the left side is already filled with invites, labels, calendar, docs and quicklinks. :-( - AJ Batac
Agree with your AJ, it's 'hidden' at the bottom of the left side of my Gmail screen. Probably a good thing though. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

you could enable the "right-side chat" and "right-side labels" to move chat and labes to right side. combine that with "navbar drag and drop" which enable drag and drop gadgets conspire to making room for friendfeed gadget. - huixing

FriendFeed/Twitter has a big liberal group-think mentality. I would over 90% of them know absolutely nothing about 0bama. - Spencer
Yeah, all those YouTube videos are fake - Dave Hodson
Pirillo: Not saying those things are popular, but Obama supporters making those claims of the McCain side is popular here. I've seen it twice here, and I've been on FriendFeed for 20 minutes this afternoon. - David Risley
David: that's OK, I lose all respect for Republicans when they call us Socialists. Or when they take the country to war based on bad evidence. - Robert Scoble
Scoble: And you should. The extreme rhetoric has been flowing both ways, that's for sure. - David Risley
But ... those things do exist right? So ... are people not supposed to address them? Or just not Democrats? Now if you're saying that some paint with a wide stereotype brush, then ... fine, but that's on both sides of the political spectrum. - AJ Kohn
@Scoble: "Us?" I thought you weren't an American anymore, kemosabe. - Rob Sterling
I'm not registered with either party - I'm a moderate. Fiscal conservatives have been ignored by the republicans. - Jason Kaneshiro
Rob: I'm not an American because Republicans said I'm not. Which greatly made me lose respect for them too. My whole post about not being an American was in response to comments that Republican leaders made. - Robert Scoble
I don't like to broadly toss those terms about, either. But if a person won't vote for Obama just because he's Black, or supports Prop. 8 just because they don't like gays and think it's OK to deny us civil rights, what better terms are there for them? (and BTW- I'm a registered Republican but a practicing Independent.) - Jack Carlson
Yeah, stop discriminating against our discriminatory speech, David. Who elected you to be the speech police anyhow...and I think your comments show an underlying bigotry against Democrats! Just sayin'! :) (OK, this is obviously one of the times when I've broken my own rule and posted something that doesn't add to the conversation...sue me) - Alex Scoble CISSP
Yes. that was one of the lowest points in any campaign I've ever seen. Imagine the outrage if the Obama folks had said such a thing. - Karoli
honestly, I don't respect republicans, bush is a criminal, sorry bitches. - David Lynch
Alex: You're excused. ;-) - David Risley
I'm listening to these complaints against the democrats regarding civility, partisanship and fairness. Tell me. Where were your voices during the last eight years and more when anyone who disagreed with the current administration were called anti-american, traitors, unamerican? Did you speak out then? - Rod Bauer via twhirl
Jack: I suspect VERY few who vote against Obama are doing so for racial reasons. The problem is that too many Obama supporters paint all McCain supporters in that light. For a person who believes in fiscal conservatism, there are PLENTY of reasons not to vote for Obama. Race has nothing to do with it. - David Risley
@Scoble: Ah, so that was just a rhetorical device. I'm not sure which "Republican leaders" you're speaking of, though. - Rob Sterling
I lose respect for anyone -- democrat, republican, libertarian, independent, or green, even -- when they act as if conditions such as racism, homophobia, sexism, and discrimination don't exist. like people who suffer these things are just supposed to shut up and deal with it silently, because what they're experiencing or witnessing isn't really happening. yeah, sure... oh, i'm sorry, i should have posted this on 'little green footballs.' - .LAG
show me how the republicans are forward thinking when it comes to social issues. Prop 8 discriminates against gays. Republicans want r v wade overturned. It's discimaination plain and simple. - Jason Kaneshiro
All you McCain supporters are just scared out of your minds of a gay, black woman in the White House. That's right, I said it--Barack's a secret lesbian! Deal with it. - thepete
Jason, you are part of the problem. Not everyone wants gay marriage to be legal, it doesn't make you a bigot. The same with not wanting people to murder babies. - Spencer
Why do people who are against gay marriage care if it's legal? If you set aside religious beliefs, explain what the objection is. It has nothing to do with anyone but the people involved, and if we are all about the "sanctity of marriage" then why is divorce legal? - Cyndy
Sure, @David Risley, when people follow me around a store as if I'm going to steal something (and I'm dressed in a polo and slacks), when little old ladies the same size as me desperately clutch their purses as I enter a brightly-lit stairwell behind them (while wearing my work ID at my workplace), and when I go to a clinic to fix a computer and am asked if I am looking for the WIC office (or told that the trash has already been emptied), I can believe that racism and prejudice are practically non-existent. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
life liberty pursuit of happiness. Interracial marriage was illegal once. I can't imagine that my marriage was once considered detrimental to society. - Jason Kaneshiro
+1 Cyndy - Derrick
Rob: if you haven't heard the Republican leaders throwing around the anti-American label lately you haven't been reading http://www.memeorandum.com try Palin for one. - Robert Scoble
MiniMage, WTF, man?!?! Who said it doesn't exist? All I said is that Democrats tossing the label around so liberally is a bad thing. - David Risley
@Cyndy: +1. In addition, for those that want less government in their lives, why is it suddenly okay for government to dictate the terms of marriage? Seems pretty intrusive. If the division of church and state persists, and marriage is a legal device, then why would the values of any church be relevant? If a church believed mixed marriages were against nature should we seek to prevent that? The church *is* well within its bounds to not preside over those marriages. There is where choice resides IMO. - AJ Kohn
I don't care about gay marriage either way. I am just tired of someone being labeled a "bigot" just because they feel a marriage should be between a man and a woman. - Spencer
Rob: here's just ONE example and there's dozens of them out there: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DO... - Robert Scoble
What should same-sex unions be called? - Derrick
Where are all these "cries" you're talking about? Link them. I haven't seen anyone crying about anything regarding racism, discrimination or homophobia. - ♫ Rahsheen™
Spencer: I don't care what you believe but when you try to take away rights from other people because you don't agree with them then, sir, you are a bigot. Or worse. - Robert Scoble
Not a man, David, and you told Jack that you suspected very few who are voting against Obama are doing so because of race. I submit to you that if I, trying to influence only my destiny, can encounter so many adverse reactions due to my skin color (not the only ones, btw, but I can only type so much here), how many more folks are being just as knee-jerkish over someone who is possibly going to affect untold millions of people's futures? - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
no David Risley, what you said was that you lose respect for democrats "when they throw out cries ...." you did this with no qualifiers - you made it an absolute statement not the responders - David HC Soul
Same with abortions, AJ Kohn. Why should those who don't want one dictate to everyone else what they can or can't do? Don't want one? Don't get one. Let others have the freedom to follow their own conscience. Freedom to choose seems to frighten some people. They prefer to dictate through the government what all citizens can do. - Jack Carlson
We keep having these discussions with no context and it's kinda pointless. - ♫ Rahsheen™
@Spencer, get used to being called silly things for silly reasons. Over the past 8 years, anybody with even slightly liberal leanings has been called a "terrorist sympathizer," or "Anti-American". Don't you think some of us are sick of being called anti-american terrorists just because we live in San Francisco and have gay co-workers? - Jason Kaneshiro
@Cyndy i'm going to vote no on 8, but there are 2 reasons people are against it. One is some semantic argument about what 'marriage' means. The other is that it actually costs taxpayers a lot of money to support marriages: http://family.findlaw.com/marr... - Sam Pullara
David, here's a question that's yet to be answered. My guess is, based upon some level of intelligent discord, you are up to the task. "For a person who believes in fiscal conservatism, there are PLENTY of reasons not to vote for Obama." I would like to hear your argument why there are reasons TO vote for McCain. Stay on the topic of fiscal conservatism, if you will. Thanks. - JC unwired
Not to mention that those of us not on the far right don't support the troops. As a veteran that accusation never failed to royally piss me off. - Jack Carlson
Jason: over the past 8 years? How about the past 8 weeks? The sad thing is, most of it is initiated by those who wish to lead us. - JC unwired
There are non-bigoted reasons to oppose gay marriage... you believe children should be raised by both a man and a woman, for example. It's a perspective that depends upon one ignoring the realities (failings?) of modern child-rearing and heterosexual relationships, but it isn't automatically bigoted, IMO. Wilfully ignorant, maybe. - Roger Benningfield
Jason: I think you are exaggerating a bit there. - Spencer
@Sam, then why is marriage legal for a man and a woman if it's so expensive? Outlaw it altogether. And there is no non-bigoted reason. Explain the difference between "A child should be raised by a man and a woman" and "A child should be raised by a man and woman of the same race/color/religion." You can claim it's not bigoted, and yet it is. There is no difference between forcing your issues about sexual preference on others than there is forcing beliefs about race on others. It's all the same thing. - Cyndy
@Rahsheen sez "We keep having these discussions with no context..." I disagree. The context is American society. I admit that I'm making an assumption here, because in the end, you may be a FF auto-posting 'bot'... but you live here, don't you? If you've never heard a "cry" of racism, sexism, homophobia, or discrimination, then i have to kindly ask you to move from beneath the rock you've been living under. - .LAG
+1 to everyone who asks why does government have to decide whether it's right for a same sex couple to be married. let them do their thing, and tax the hell out of those two incomes, like you always do. ;-) - .LAG
LAG, the original comment specifically focuses on FriendFeed as the place where these cries are coming from. I was just staying on topic. - ♫ Rahsheen™
@Cyndy could be. i don't know why it is the way it is, i wasn't around when it was instituted. i'm not sure how the children thing even got into the argument since it is possible without marriage for two people to have children and raise them (gay, straight or whatever), in fact some people say it takes a village. maybe marriage was instituted to stabilize society for all i know. as a former member of a 'domestic partnership' i'm not going to try and stop it. - Sam Pullara
@Scoble: Yes, but how does it apply to you? - Rob Sterling
Cyndy: I actually think you've got it backwards. Preferring both a male and female parent is a preference for diversity in the child's upbringing. It's a rather stupid preference, IMO, since it places too many restrictions on individual liberty and ignores the practicalities of modern life... but it isn't as knuckle-dragging an outlook as you'd like to believe. - Roger Benningfield

WOW... I'm shocked... I agree... but Evan there are many Black Conservatives. Fact is that the African American Community is not financially in much of a different place presently then the rest of us. I imagine after this election there will be a strong representation in their community in the Republican Party. They really don't benefit from Obama's plan at all... none of us do. MLK was a Republican because business was always better then the Unions and Labor groups when it came to hatred and bigotry. - ⓃⓄⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂⓄⓃ
the Dixiecrats are the party for white man's Public Relations. Africa Americans are part of America and they have a very strong future in the GOP. Don't let the hatred of a few radicals confuse you. Black Conservatism is very real... and very important. You have an interest in protecting your jobs, u value your jobs! that makes u GOP. - ⓃⓄⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂⓄⓃ
I realize that there are lots of black conservatives, Noah; I am friends with several. But unfortunately, their voices are often drowned out by the cacophony of liberal voices. - Evan Brown
you are right Evan& I'm sad 2say that I used2 b1 of those people, but no more. There is bigotry on both sides of economic worldview... I've seen it first hand. When I was a Democrat I used 2think we had all the ideas& the Republicans had better personality, now I see people&their attitude towards other people come b4 any promises&theory. I might wake up tomorrow&have a great plan needing money from government, but if I've a shitty attitude towards people and think I'm better then others ignore me please - ⓃⓄⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂⓄⓃ

My last outbreak was same as this: http://friendfeed.com/e/6fe0a5... I'm looking for some new excitements in other tools like Strands. I feel sorry! - Erhan Erdogan
Then why don't you go to Strands, Erhan? I know that sounds rude but you complain way too much... - Mona N.
Mona: Why do you always want to send away from FF? : ( Hmm? - Erhan Erdogan
Mark: This is a great example for 'filtering is a must' slides. ; ) Thanks, I'm adding this room to my delicious. - Erhan Erdogan
I don't want to send you away! But if you're not happy, maybe this isn't the place for you. :\ - Mona N.
Not speaking for anyone else, I'm quite happy with FF, but I would be even happier if I had an easy way to get rid of all the politics without wearing out my mouse clicking on Hide so often. - Ray Metzen
So if we know that, don't you think the FriendFeed team knows that? I would rather them take the time to create a superior filter / search algorithm than punch one out that they're not 120% happy with. So in the time being, work with what we have or go somewhere else... - Mona N.

That's not what they're saying. That's what I'm saying. If you are unhappy and correct me if I'm wrong, but since I see a post like this from you and the other "NO NOISE" people at least once a week - WHY do you continue to stay? - Mona N.
I love you both, Mona and Erhan. Discussion and the healthy exchange of ideas is what the internets thrive on. Keep it up!! :) - J. D. Ebberly

October 6 at 5:16 pm - Link
My list is working great. Start one with only high signal people on it. I rarely see a meme or funny picture. - Robert Scoble
34 more comments
Robert, I wonder if that might have something to do with your current doom & gloom state ;-) And you, I think I'm only half joking here: you have been rather on the morose side of serious lately. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
oh come on, the odd funny picture or interesting share is worth a break from tech & economy no? :) - Zee from WeDoCreative
I believe lists are critical. I still have my home feed, but I have 3 other lists. I scan each list several times a day. I only see the memes on the home feed mostly. - Rob Diana
Oh, you're looking for www.no-fun-for-me-kthx-bai.friendfeed.com - ♫ Rahsheen™
wouldn't that just be called having your own blog? what's the point of being here if you're interested in only what you share? - Cee Bee
Tina: I have been looking at my main feed where all the cat photos usually are for some inspiration. Not there either. I guess I gotta look at some rooms for something funny. - Robert Scoble
it's one of the things about FriendFeed that makes me frown and feel like it could be improved. it needs more organization a better way to block out certain things. - ♣genieyclo♣
Rahsheen: Yes, maybe www.findtimeforgeneratinganewsemanticbeta.friendfeed.com works ; ) - Erhan Erdogan
great, now it's turned into a meme: walledincubicallandformekthxbai.friendfeed.com - ♣genieyclo♣
Is there technology to distinguish a funny picture from a serious picture? I mean...I think that would be one hilarious computer program - ♫ Rahsheen™
Robert: my understanding is several of us took a few days off at once and things have been quiet here. I've rectified the situation by posting a picture of my cat using my tripod as furniture, so check your feed again... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Cee: I'm interested in geeky stuff or stuff that makes me smarter. That's why I'm starting lists. My tech list is far far far far higher signal to noise ratio than my main list is. But, then, it only has 190 people compared to almost 3,500 in my main list. Oh, and my main list has far far far far higher signal to noise ratio than the "everyone" feed does. There's a lesson there: choose who you follow very carefully. - Robert Scoble
Rahsheen: It's so easy - possible with tagging! Look http://friendfeed.com/search?q... this is a tagging experiment for FF.(tag: design) How do you feel, write please? : ) - Erhan Erdogan
LOL! - Mona N.
I guess, but tagging means either the poster, or the viewer has to manually tag what stuff is and, frankly, I don't trust neither one of em :) - ♫ Rahsheen™
Aha! Here we come! Still wondering why I was begging for APML? (I know that you know Erhan dear :) ) - directeur via NoiseRiver
I don't understand why people just can't work with the available options. Or just stick to Google Reader where people share similar topics of interest. - Mona N.
Mona: because the available options aren't easy. Setting up a new room, then subscribing a subset of your friends to that, isn't enjoyable and takes time to learn and see how it affects things. - Robert Scoble
my favorite option is to simply make a room for funny pictures/shares. It won't be perfect at first, but eventually most funny stuff will be kept in room where people can choose whether to subscribe to it or not... - Zee from WeDoCreative
Robert: ??? @Zee: What would that accomplish? - Mona N.
it would allow people to subscribe to the kind of content they want to subscribe to without too much effort. - Zee from WeDoCreative
noiseriver - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)
So then why limit to funny pictures? Why not disperse all information into rooms then? - Mona N.
because it's hard to do with other shares like google reader, digg, delicious etc.. - Zee from WeDoCreative
@Rahsheen that can be accomplished by finding a way to get computers to recognize text in pictures and sort it. Kindof like tagging, but without the interloping and un-trustable humans involved. - ♣genieyclo♣
Zee, the room solution would only be viable once FF provides a maintained/updated list of rooms. And even then, there's no guaranteeing that people will post room-appropriate content in those rooms. We can only put so much onus on the people we choose to follow before it's time to buck up and do some organizing of one's own... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
directeur: apml is absolutely brilliant but it must be in FF's mainstream! FF didn't offer you something when they are joining beta. : ) (They just use your photo adding tool.) ...It needs something more than apml; apml+self driven attention, a great database(CRM) per users - our sharings are determining. - Erhan Erdogan
@Zee from WeDoCreative There really should be one called the FriendFeed nite crew, esp since we all ready have a facebook group.. - ♣genieyclo♣
Tina, yeah agreed, it won't be perfect at first. But gradually, over time, people would know where to post/find funny content...where to post/find interesting hacks (goodies room)...where to post new & useful apps, the apps room etc... - Zee from WeDoCreative
@genieyclo - i dunno, i think i gotta disagree there...We don't want to start excluding newcomers into the friendfeed night crew. - Zee from WeDoCreative
...and is it just me or are these discussions about noise, the *real* noise? -just asking since I hid this two times already and it keeps popping back up. Hence, one person's signal is another person's noise. :) - Mona N.
Erhan: This is part of APML actually and it's called "Implicit concepts" - directeur via NoiseRiver
Mona: Yes it is time of truth! This is like CRM of FF, User Attention Management : ) We are all different! - Erhan Erdogan
Besides, what's wrong with variety? I'm definitely not one dimensional and most of the people I'm subscribed to aren't. In my experience, the 'smartest' people I know have myriad of interests. - Mona N.
directeur: You should suggest FF team an internal solution! They will need this in near 6 months - also Strands is coming traumatic. - Erhan Erdogan
Mona: Of course smart people has lots of interests. But I'm here for a niche purpose. If this can't be available to turn users like me, localization of FF won't be possible anyday. Mass will be a dream. - Erhan Erdogan

I saw this exhibit in London a few years ago, it's incredible. With google maps links it's even better. (I'm also loving Big Picture's new j and k keyboard shortcuts to move up and down.) - Casey Muller via Bookmarklet

But, you still have it! It's not like it will stop working ;) - Andru Edwards
They *hope* it'll work in Snow Leopard. They were so good on supporting new formats and devices literally days after they came out. I'm going to miss that the most - Bwana
Ohhh...didn't think about OS updates. Frick. - Andru Edwards
Are there any alternative applications that are as easy to use with all the options of VH? Just in case it isn't compatible later I would like something to turn to other than command lining ffmepg (which I have nvr done) - Jeffrey Blais via twhirl
The next best thing is probably ffmpegX which is a distant second to Visualhub's GUI and presets. One thing I'm going try to do is extract the ffmpeg settings from those presets. Ugh. I hate to think about moving backwards in productivity. - Bwana

The first part is my favourite (Denver Broncos joined the Ed Hochuli network; San Diego Chargers left the Ed Hochuli network). If you don't get it -- Ed Hochuli is the ref that blew the huge call in the Broncos/Chargers game that pretty much screwed the Chargers and gave Denver the tie/win. - Shey
I didn't understand why NFL was watching Seinfeld. (I watch football -bigger NBA fan though, Shey ;) ) - Mona N.
