What is your FF Comments/Likes Ratio? (Comments divided by Likes to 2nd decimal place - as of now)
1.05 (670/633) - Micah Wittman from Bookmarklet
Can you remind me again where to find those stats? - Brian Johns
Brian, go to "Me" link (http://friendfeed.com/brianjo...) which defaults to the Feed tab. Look at the sidebar on the right, below Discussion. - Micah Wittman
0.75 (926/1226) - still relatively new here - mikepk
I only see my stats for the last week (17/14 = 1.21) Please tell me your 670 number is for more than just a week! - Brian Johns
1.44 (566/391) for brianjohns (after week tally you should see a comma then 'all time' count - I can see it on your page) - Micah Wittman
OK, sorry. I'm a total dumbass. I stopped reading after the weekly totals... - Brian Johns
3.74, which seems way off of everybody else's. I wonder what that says. I comment a lot more than I like. - Cyrus Lendvay
FFers use FF with their own strategy or simply default tendencies. The ratio is an interesting snapshot of behaviour. Thanks for joining in everyone, hope more keep flowing in. - Micah Wittman from twhirl
0.79 - Brian Roy
0.67 - Nine
1.39. - Rochelle
1.61 - I only 'like' when I want to throw my support behind a topic but don't have anything constructive to add. - Bjorn Stromberg
1.12 - LogEx
1.41 - WorldofHiglet
5.08 (3181/626) ! - ◄ani625Ξ
0.66 - I tend to 'like' things without needing to comment further, I guess, and I notice I usually like the things upon which I comment. Well, frequently. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
.39 (2457/6242) I guess I don't comment much. I do 'like' a lot of things, it would seem. - Bren, Photophobe
0.62 then again i have over 11,000 comments - Cee Bee
1.23 (5287/4229) - I am put to shame by Cee Bee's participation, good grief! - Her Lindsay-ness
@Cee Bee I think you meant 0.62 - ◄ani625Ξ
1.27 (902/705) - Leandro Ardissone ⍨
yes, thanks for the correction. lindsay, you're making me feel bad. lol - Cee Bee
0.8576, I only like mostly when I'm going to comment - Mol, Time Warping
1.55 endlessly repeating. This Like/Comment included. - Dana D
before this comment: .69 I kid you not. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)
So far: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81 ... (if you average 1 comment per like, you'd be 1.0 ... if you're 0.xx you might herd content more than discuss ... if you're whole numbers above 1 you may not 'like' much or discuss plenty or both) - Micah Wittman
CSV_A: 1.05,0.75,1.44,0.81,3.74,0.79,0.77,0.67,0.77,0.76,1.39,1.8,1.61,1.12,0.141,5.08,2.41,0.66,.39,0.62,.62,1.27,0.8576,1.551,0.69 - Micah Wittman
1.83 - Grant Bierman
I tend to like allot of photos which really don't need comments. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)
InPerpetualMotion(Gina k), I really liked this 'Like' of yours (in a series of pics, so I flickr fav'd it): http://friendfeed.com/e... and commented. Thanks! - Micah Wittman
.37 1002/2708 - Michael Fidler
this is what scobes walls would like if he didnt have FF - sean percival
I haven't seen Marc Canter's fabled fence (just heard about it), but I imagine this but on wood pickets :) - Micah Wittman
This week: 2.48 (1162:467) but this is not the norm, my likes usually match or are higher than comments, overall: 0.95 (14228:14846). - Kol Tregaskes
Thanks Michael, Kol! I'll recalculate average/median when we build up some more data points here. - Micah Wittman
1.03 748/723 - Keith - @tsudo
.68 6986/10194 Someone wrote a great article on the comment-like ratio a few months ago. Search on FriendFeed is crashing on me... I'll try to get the link. - Mitchell Tsai

2.94 - j1m
Thank you, j1m. Ok, I'm gonna roll this up into a csv and call it a night. - Micah Wittman

0.49 (493/988) - Bluesun 2600

3026/5013 = 0.6036 - Roger Chen
0.107 probably the lowest here - Nicholas James
chaz2b, Bluesun 2600, Roger, Nicholas — thank you! - Micah Wittman
.76 - jamar78
5.25 but I don't know what this *means, yet. maybe I'm just stingy with my "likes" compared to others? - Marg Uerite
Thanks jamar78 and Marg! - Micah Wittman
A recent change in FF: now the comment count shows total number of comments (previously multiple comments in one thread only counted as one) http://friendfeed.com/e... so all the numbers above are from the old methodology.... - David HC Soul
My new ratio: 0.76 all time (old methodology .52).... this week 1.39 - David HC Soul
*bump* - Micah Wittman
1.26 (2965/2346) - Micah Wittman
Thanks, Glen and pea! - Micah Wittman
Looks like my ratio as flipped again (comments back to dominating again). Seems to match my own awareness I've lately been commenting without Liking (commenting is my inherent recognition of value to me and the additional Like is when it merits an extra bump to help discovery by others). - Micah Wittman
.38 - Ryan Dadey
Ryan, I have to say, that's one high caliber ratio ;) - Micah Wittman
An update it's .44 which is an improvement from .36 - Michael Fidler
1.5 exactly - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
2.94 1040/354 I have likes set to post to twitter automatically, so I'm careful with them. :) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
0.85 - Steven Perez
0.73 up from 0.66 on Jan 08 - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
0.37 for the week past, 0.45 on the whole. - Parth Awasthi
Michael, Anthony, Ahsan, guruvan Steven, sıɹɥɔ and Parth - thanks for dropping in your stats! - Micah Wittman
5.81 i'm not using it as does everyone else here. that is fer sure. - Marg Uerite
But remember, the comment counts also includes comments imported from other services. - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Ahsan, huh, I'd never considered that. - Micah Wittman
17942/30571=.59 - Alex Scoble
Alex, thank you, sir. - Micah Wittman
ALmost 2:1 exactly. - Amani
Much obliged, Amani. - Micah Wittman
3062/5777 you do the maths. - Will Higgins™
.53 (3062/5777) for Will Higgins #math-on-demand-services - Micah Wittman
Thank you, amin/gnu - Micah Wittman
2671/12333=.21 - Darren Heydon
1.45 (4374/3026) - Micah Wittman
0.92 now. I think the movie reviews have been getting me closer to a 1 to 1 ratio. - Steven Perez
Steven, yep, you were a 0.85 in April. - Micah Wittman
2.10 now ... - Amani
0.97 now. - Eric Johnson
Amani, so your comments have climbed a bit. - Micah Wittman
Thanks, Eric. - Micah Wittman
yes, but i am not consciously "not liking" things - Amani from IM
Probably, just chattier then :) - Micah Wittman
I'm down from 7.16 to 6.94 :-) - Ken Sheppardson
the live NBA playoff threads have ALOT to do with it. - Amani from IM
Ken, the FCC may be interested to explore how your "I'm down" may be offensively self-deprecating ;) - Micah Wittman
.56 eeep, must try harder - Threepwood
4.52. I don't bother to like things I've commented on, since commenting already flags it as interesting. - Andy Bakun
0.46 (1698/3638) - Glenn Slaven
Threepwood, Andy, Glenn - thanks (Andy, that's my mo too; then I'll Like if it warrants a "double vote"). - Micah Wittman
1.31 (4,471/3,401) - Karoli
Thanks, Karoli. And the both of us have a _very_ similar ratio and absolute numbers. wow. - Micah Wittman
1.15 ! Noisy... need more liking, I guess. - Ryo / Fuck Facebook
Thanks, Ryo! - Micah Wittman
Darn - 0.52. I guess I need to say why I like something a little more often :-) Liking this thread because I was wondering the same thing recently. Has anybody worked out the average from the numbers here? </islazy> - Andy Bold
Andy, scroll upward and you'll see a couple calculations from before (January: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81) - Micah Wittman
In March the Mean was: 1.49 - Micah Wittman
1.021276595744680851063829787234042553191489361702127659... via Wolfram Alpha - tom murphy
Thanks, tom. And though a bit verbose, your friend Wolfram is resourceful :D - Micah Wittman
0.55 (254/444) - Willem (@wim66) ☠
Thank you, Willem. - Micah Wittman
In April you were 0.97, so you're liking more / commenting less. - Micah Wittman
1.88 (779/414) - Ton Zijp
Thanks, Ton. - Micah Wittman
0.43 (3597/8305). - Parth Awasthi
0.74 (1970/2667) - Scott of Two Countries
And thank you Parth, Scott. - Micah Wittman
Parth, compared to your April numbers, you've been consistent. - Micah Wittman
2.12 is my ratio. - Rick Cogley
Thanks, Rick! - Micah Wittman
Np Micah. What is that photo? - Rick Cogley
.54 (4148/7674) Updated! - Michael Fidler
Rick, you mean that face with glasses I photoshopped tint into with an apparently disembodied arm which is actually very much attached to my eldest son? It's mostly just me :) - Micah Wittman
Thanks, Michael. Yes, you have a rising tide of comment percentage (oh, wow, you were one of the originals from January - cool!) - Micah Wittman
1.82 from 798 comments / 438 likes - David Damore
Thanks, nivé and David! - Micah Wittman
2027/1594 = 1.27 - Brome
0.58 - Marc Dong
2.9 (3,242/1,116) mhhh.. time to straighten my use of FF a bit.. thanks for this entry - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Brome, Marc and Thierry - thank you! - Micah Wittman
Thierry - yeah, 2.9 is fairly high - got to pick the pace on like side :) [but hey, whatever works for you is fine] - Micah Wittman
Stats Update: Last time I commented here my comment to like ratio was 0.107 it's increased to 0.645 ;) - Nicholas James
Thank you Nicholas and MiniMage! - Micah Wittman
Yeah, that's a decent upward rise in comments, Nicholas. - Micah Wittman
.6 (6,000/10,000) 3rd update - Now it's time to flip this on its head. My goal is to have (16,000/16,000) next time I post here. Regardless of what happens, I'm just looking forward to the next 10,000 comments, likes, posts, and new relationships I make here. It's all good! - Michael Fidler
1.76 (7539/4290) My commenting habits haven't chanced much, but it felt like I clicked Like a lot less, and this ratio confirms that for me. - Micah Wittman
It's that time again. - Micah Wittman
.50 - Laura B.
Thanks, Laura! (you're a 50-caliber gal!) - Micah Wittman
0.64 - Imabug
Thank you, Imabug. - Micah Wittman
4.67 (I'm greedy :p) - directeur

About 1:2 comment to likes at this time - RAPatton from iPod
1.06 - Jim Hearts FF
.63 - metalerik
Thanks Imabug, directeur, Steven, RAPatton, Jim, Brent and metalerik! - Micah Wittman
.83 - Jimminy
0.78 - Pete Delucchi
.82 as of right now. edit: on January 8th it was 0.39 -- when I saw that, I decided to make more of an effort to comment. When I hit 10k "likes" I decided I wouldn't "like" anything else until I also had 10k comments. - Bren, Photophobe
And thank you Jimminy, Pete, Bren and Penguin! - Micah Wittman
2.47 as of right now. - Jonas, Leper of FF
Micah, are you doing something with these numbers? If so sounds interesting. - Jimminy
0.58 - James (!?)
Jimminy, I'm copyrighting every single number. It's kind of a honeypot ;) Actually, it was curiosity mostly, but I also hope to build a sampling (small and self-selecting as it may be) for anyone who might want to analyze it. - Micah Wittman
Jonas, James and Kurt - thanks you! - Micah Wittman
You're welcome. I hope the results do some good. :-) - James (!?)
.31. I have almost 4 times as many likes as comments. - edythe
.86 - Eric Logan
Thank you edythe and Eric! - Micah Wittman
195/245 makes 0.8 rounded not including this one which would be 196/245 making 0.8 unrounded, - tom murphy
Thanks, Tom. - Micah Wittman
1.98 (588/297) - Bryan Zirkel
1.67 (19,550/11,684) - Mitchell Tsai
Bryan, Mitchell and Jeff P. - thanks, guys! - Micah Wittman
1.18 - it's always been close to 1, since day one, for some reason. - Laura Norvig
Wow, Penguin is a prolific liker! - Laura Norvig
2.67 (875/328) - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Thank you, Nathalie! - Micah Wittman
1.29 - Mark Jepsen
Thanks, Spidra and Mark! - Micah Wittman
0.49 - Jammy Lee
Jammy and Mathew, thank you very much. - Micah Wittman
I don't know I just like that picture - Brian Hendrickson
.40 - Ben Hanten
Mine was exactly 2:1 about a week ago. Did a screenshot when I had 2,000 comments and 1,000 likes. - Joe.... from iPod
SuezanneC, Brian, B E N and Joe - thank you all very much! - Micah Wittman
Joe, it's like see the odometer click through a nice round number - it's just inexplicably engaging. :) - Micah Wittman
1.40, nearly the square root of two. - Vezquex: God of FF
0.58 - Andy Bold
Thanks, Raphael and Andy! - Micah Wittman
1.15 (6777/5873) - JA Castillo
12.23 (844 / 69 ) I guess I take my likes seriously ;) - Chris Myles
1.63 - Serkan Mutlu
Wow I didn't realize I was so out of whack!! 12.23 that's got to be a record (and I don't even import my feeds with the summary as a comment)!! - Chris Myles
.87 - Nine
Thanks JA, Chris (wow, 12+ is unusual :), Serkan and Nine! - Micah Wittman
0.89 (17818/19913) (Somebody better make a cool ass graph of all this data!) - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments).. - Chris Myles
1.78 (8529/4782) - Micah Wittman
Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever. - Micah Wittman
0.9009 (6055/6721) - Jason Huebel
OK, so statistically, what ratio results in better interaction on FF? - Jason Huebel
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience. - Micah Wittman
So I'm fairly balanced, it appears. I would imagine it's because I try to comment on every post I like. That's not always true, obviously. But mostly it is. - Jason Huebel
Just clicking "Like" seems too easy. I feel like I should say something, too. - Jason Huebel
383/372 - ashish
'Just clicking "Like" seems too easy' — Jason, that's because you're from the Chatty-ite tribe :) - Micah Wittman
Thanks, ashish. - Micah Wittman
wow, what a difference time makes, when i 1st posted on this thread, 6.43%, now = 1.25%, for a 5.18% difference, :o (and this is the earliest post to date i've recovered of my activity on ff) - chaz2b
chaz, I think there's been a big fluctuation for most people (maybe not that much). This is the oldest post on which you commented that you've recovered? - Micah Wittman
When I first saw this: 1.91 Sept 28: 1.94 - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
536 comments in the last month has me at .8736...still creeping toward 1.00 - Bren, Photophobe
Thanks, MiniMage (2x participant!), Bren (3x!) and Shannon (your inaugural visit!) - Micah Wittman
Thank you, SustainedEuphoria. - Micah Wittman
I 'liked" this to change my ratio! (1.22 1040/850) - Mark Jepsen
Thanks, Mark. - Micah Wittman
1.45 - Brett Kelly
Thanks, Brett :) - Micah Wittman
5.67 all time. Second highest ratio on here. Woot! I love to talk. - Kevin L
0.125, I need to talk more ;) - mridul
Thank you both, Kevin and mridul (the two of you balance it each well :) - Micah Wittman
1.80 (10,189 / 5,666) [compared to Likes, my Comments still continue to rise] - Micah Wittman
1.02 (10323/10161) - Bren, Photophobe
.5666 currently (30,084/53,093) - Alex Scoble
Thanks, Bren. - Micah Wittman
Thank you, Alex :) - Micah Wittman
that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while... - Bren, Photophobe
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically. - Micah Wittman
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better. - Bren, Photophobe
Thanks, Sarah, Tutivillus. - Micah Wittman
1.19 - Joe Bonner
Micah this is like 11 months ago, I see you have almost doubled your rate. lets make a graph for everybody now, :) - Mahmood Padura
Quick, someone write a greasemonkey script to inline some google charts! (tap-tap-tap...wut? don't look at me ;) - Micah Wittman
Thanks, Joe. And you thank you, Mahmood :) - Micah Wittman
Thanks, Glen! Your comments in the ratio have gone up too. - Micah Wittman
1.70 (it was 1.41 on Jan 8) - WorldofHiglet
WorldofHiglet, thank you :) The comments are strong in this one. - Micah Wittman

Chieze and Thomas - thank you! - Micah Wittman

So, Micah, we never did find out what you were doing with this info.... - WorldofHiglet
2.21 (2,812/1,275) - Rene Wirtz
0.27 (5637/20234) - I only see a couple people lower than me. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Twitter for Social Entrepreneurship: The Top 100 Tweeps to Follow — Social Edge - http://www.socialedge.org/blogs...
The 10-ish social entrepreneurs added to Twitter's suggested follow list were a great start. Social Edge chimes in with their own 10x list. - Eric Johnson from Bookmarklet
Kol Tregaskes
"This poll will only be relevant to those of you who actually use the viewfinder of your digital camera (or those who have cameras WITH viewfinders as not all do these days) - but it comes from a conversation I had at a party a couple of weeks back with a group of friends (yes we’d had a drink or two). It started when someone asked me what eye I look through the view finder with? I’d never considered the question before (and had to actually grab a camera and take a picture to work out which eye I use). I use my right eye - but as we surveyed everyone at the party we discovered it was 60/35/5 (right/left/both). So today I thought I’d see if that were the case with a larger sample of respondents." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet
I use my right but I have to as my left is lazy eye and everything is blurry out of it. - Kol Tregaskes
Left - Pete Gilbert
Right. I'm not sure why. It just feels right! - Rochelle
Right eye but sometimes I keep the left eye open. - sean808080
Left. - Roberto Bonini
My 3rd :) - Jeunelle Foster
Right.. tried it with my left and it just felt weird. - cecily
Left - Bluesun 2600
Left - AJ Batac
right - jbrotherlove
"sean808080: Right eye but sometimes I keep the left eye open" ..... just like me :)) - antique
left eye, but sometimes I keep my right eye open - vicster
Right eye. Using left just feels weird. - Mike Child
Left. ANY time I have to look at something using just one eye, it's going to be my left. - Nine
Right, but sometimes with left open as well. - Rich
Right, usually, but not exclusively - James Myatt
Left because my vision is *tons* better in that eye. - Katie
Always my right. - Bonnie Foster
Right; my eyes, as I've gotten older, have developed into separate functions (according to my opthamologist). My left eye does all the close focusing (6-18 inches) and my right eye does all the distance work; since the eyepiece of a camera is really distance images, it's the one that gets used all the time (i.e., you're not focusing on the eyepiece; you're focusing on the image beyond the camera). - Glen Campbell, B.A.
Right eye because if I use my left eye I can't use my right hand freely. However my right eye is no longer the "good" one so I've switched to a display camera now. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
Left eye. Often I frame shots with the lcd tilted to the left. - Eric Johnson
Left which makes sense because I am left eye dominant. - Jeff
Normally - Left (close up), Right (far away). Usually with my right when using a camera, but it shifts depending on what's occluded in my view. - Mitchell Tsai
I always use my right eye, and I close my left. I tried leaving my left eye open, but it seems too weird for me to get used to. - Cheryl Jones
Left. Closing right and opening 3rd of my heart... - Kazuya Yokoyama from BuddyFeed
Right. - Kevin L
right - WorldofHiglet
Left - martha
Left. You right eyeballers are weird. Weird I say! j/k. - jack from iPhone
Left - TVTechGrl
Left - ialla from iPhone
Right - Jon Leirdal from twhirl
Right, and I ALWAYS use the viewfinder. I have a point and shoot, and I've turned the LCD off, it saves batteries, and whenever anyone wants to take a shot with it they're always like 'how does it work???'. And of course, the D70s I shoot with at the moment only lets you shoot with the viewfinder. - Will Higgins™
Here's the results: http://ff.im/8ZluM - Kol Tregaskes
Left, always. Huh. Never thought about that before. - Jennifer Dittrich
I'm ambeyedextrous. lol - Deborah Fisher

"Want to see what others are saying about a web page with Google’s newly released Sidewiki but don’t want to install Google Toolbar to do it? Amit at Digital Inspiration has cooked up a simple bookmarklet that lets you do just that." - Meryn Stol from Bookmarklet
Google ought to provide a special URL to access all sidewiki features, putting the original page in a frame. (like the digg, ow.ly toolbar and such) - Meryn Stol
I'm waiting to see how long it takes Google to get these synced with Google Reader comments. If they can't bang that out quickly, I don't hold out much hope for them as any sort of social media hub. - Ken Sheppardson
Yikes. The Diggbar/ow.ly iframe aspect of this is what scares me about this. I'm not a fan of Google framing site content (or in the iframe case, taking over site urls) with no opt-out. - Eric Johnson
Eric, I'm suggesting this feature myself. It's not there atm. I think it would be handy to have access to the sidewiki interface (through a bookmarklet for example) without having to install the Google toolbar. A bookmarklet could be used to load http://sidewiki.google.com/frame... if you were viewing the page with url "abc". - Meryn Stol
I get that, Meryn. Sidewiki as now conceived does not obscure urls. But, like the diggbar et al, it is Google putting comments and branding (and later, presumably, ads), opposite content. That's a big move, and I'm not (so far, anyway) a fan http://blog.el-studio.com/google-.... Nice to see the script to view these without the toolbar, though. - Eric Johnson
Benefit of a complete sidwiki frame would be that I could comment myself. But maybe we'll have a dedicated Firefox extension soon. We'll see... - Meryn Stol
Eric Johnson
Re: Google and newspapers: the false choice of opting out - http://www.cdixon.org/...
"True for the moment. But the number of papers (and, with AP, the amount of original content) could decline to the point that there are not too many newspaper suppliers. That's where Chris's argument gets interesting for me. But there will still be competitors -- the blogs and politico.com's. And it's tough for me to see how newspapers will be cheap and agile enough to compete against these. More about that in my response post: http://elstudio.us/post-th... Thanks, Chris, for getting me thinking!" - Eric Johnson

I'm a very inconsistent blogger, but here it is: http://supherb.posterous.com/ - Herb Hernandez
http://jezlyn.posterous.com I really like using it to feed content to my Wordpress blog and other sites at the same time. It's the only easy way I know of to e-mail posts "to" my Wordpress.com blog. - Cheryl Jones from BuddyFeed
Mine is http://twiddle.me but I don't use it very much - Glen Campbell, B.A.
NIr, that's a great idea on embedding FF. - Kol Tregaskes
Mine is http://ahr19.posterous.com/ .. gonna start to use it more. - Amani
Kol - it's great how one FF post can start a little movement. I've used it more today than since I signed up whenever a long time ago. Thanks. - phil baumann
Hey cool, Phil. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Kolin: u can add the FF widget as well to the side bar ,just go to the profile and post the (instead of javascript choose image) over here http://friendfeed.com/embed... you can see it at my posterous http://loopper.posterous.com/ I got this tip from http://friendfeed.com/svartli... - Johni Fisher
this posterous: http://this.posterous.com :) - directeur
How do I embed my FF stream on Posterous? - phil baumann
posterous is so quick uploading 3gs video to its sites ... amazing - johnpiercy
I've embedded this thread on a Posterous entry: http://e-lusion.posterous.com/what-is... :-) - Kol Tregaskes
@phil couldn't you do the embed feature... ? post something to posterous.. and then 'edit' the post and paste the embed? Or maybe simply email it? - Sean
Phil, click on the 'Share' link of the FF entry, then copy the embed code. Create a new Posterous entry, select HTML mode and paste in the embed code. You'll need to edit the width and height (looks like 500 for width). Then post. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
@ Phil Kol beat me to the explanation - Sean
Kol I made the same :-)) - Johni Fisher
Kol - thanks. - phil baumann
I see, commenting via my Posterous entry. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
What is the best width? 500 seems good? - Kol Tregaskes
Kol - is there a way to embed in the sidebar (I've seen others place it on their Posterous). Not just a post... - phil baumann
Phil, see Johni's comment above. - Kol Tregaskes
http://revrev.posterous.com but I rarely use it. - mike fabio
Use 100% as the embed with instead. Looks a lot nicer. - Svartling from email
Does that work with both the embeds and widgets? - Kol Tregaskes
Only with embeds. It's too bad we can't email these friendfeed embeds directly to Posterous. They get garbled. I've tried. - Svartling
My Posterous profile: http://posterous.com/people... - Svartling
It flows through here, usually just for photos: http://lagtime.posterous.com/ - .LAG liked that
Svartling, shame we can't do that with the widgets, it looks untidy on our profile pages. Yep emailing would be cool. - Kol Tregaskes
Maybe some of the Posterous developers see this and could add that feature? Please :) - Svartling
Good thread; got some new subscriptions! http://notratched.posterous.com - Megen
Don't forget to tag your posts like this ((tag: posterous, friendfeed)) in the subject line of your emails. That way your posts will be seen easier by all other Posterous users when they use the global posterous search. - Svartling
Svartling thx again :-) - Johni Fisher

Nir, either way, a very good idea. Thank you. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Thanks guys. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
My Posterous is http://quackofdawn.com (using my own domain) - Quackofdawn

I tried embedding a twitter gadget on my posterous profile but it did not work.. How do you embed your friendfeed profile? - David Gross from email
David, I'm not sure it accepts all HTML. For the FF widgets use the image not the Javascript version. - Kol Tregaskes
Kol, yes I see.. I added it, I guess Twitter does not have anything but javascript and flash widgets.. It doesnt matter, since I autopost to twitter there is a button there.. - David Gross from email
http://posterous.com/people... is my profile where you'll find a couple.. - Mo Hall
How do you all add the little twitter and friendfeed images with links to your profiles here on posterous. I don't know the code to do that. :( Help when u can. - Amani
http://mylescrew.posterous.com/ Right now I'm just testing, the import from Blogger was REALLY easy. I'm trying to "port" BlurbBits (http://ff.im/4tlY2) to make them work better on posterous. The iframe style parameter gets removed, which is different than Blogger (there is *always* something). - Chris Myles
Amani: If you set up autopost, they will appear. Here's the link: http://posterous.com/autopost - Nick in Manila
Amani, the little images for twitter etc you get if you autopost to those sites but you might end up with duplicate posts that way. There is a friendfeed badge you can put in your posterous profile at http://friendfeed.com/embed... use the image format, not javascript. - David Gross from email
Check out Wayne Suttons Posterous (he posted his URL in this thread). You see that he has changed some colors. That is a private beta feature that is coming soon to the public. - Svartling

@koltregaskes, my posterous is at http://alexschleber.posterous.com "Quick Hits Business Mindhacks". Had been using it quite a bit the first 6 months of this year. I'm a big fan of Garry & Sachin, but really wish posterous would hurry up with some of the much needed feature upgrades (skins and/or CSS, Retweet button - just use Tweetmeme, custom sidebar HTML, WYSIWIG bookmarklet, etc.) Seems like they're stalling a bit right now, no? - Alex Schleber
They have to be careful not to mess with the simplicity of it, though; that's why so many people like it. If they tart it all up, it might as well just be Tumblr. Which already exists. - Megen from email

Keep 'em coming, I'll add you all later today. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

A Closer Look at Facebook's New Privacy Options http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
"We think most other reports on the news missed a key point, too, though. Everyone focused on the new option for shared messages to be publicly visible outside the constraints of a Facebook user's friends network - people called it a shot at the wide open paradigm of Twitter. In fact, the biggest change may be that sharing options are becoming much more granular - more human." - Eric Johnson
This is an interesting article and I think that not only should facebook be clear about its privacy options but it could also make editing settings & other stuff on facebook more user friendly. It can take a while to work out how to turn something off or on and there is a minimum of info to guide people. facebook obviously know what they are doing but the truth is they are serving a very large public & they may need to remember that. Thanks for the post! Pemo Theodore, AstraMatch Blog - Pemo Theodore from FriendFeed MT Plugin

Apple vs Google, Who Will Control the IPhone? - http://apple.slashdot.org/story...

Just noticed that Reader now allows grouping of people you follow! Wondering: is Reader going to become a competitor (instead of complement) to FriendFeed? - Chris Rogers
http://www.google.com/reader... - Always looking for more ppl to share links! - Liza
Ah so that's your name, M F! ;-) I'm wanting to live in that area too, nice around there? - Kol Tregaskes

Liza, oooh I love the post on generating Mandelbrot fractals in Excel! - Sally Church
@rogersdc / Chris, Google Reader is obviously been trying to become more social, but I'd really like to see FF come out with a bookmarklet that makes sub'ing RSS feeds to FF easier/faster. Right now it's a manual process involving either a new Group/Room or Imaginary Friend. Should be 2 clicks tops.. Also see: http://friendfeed.com/alexsch... - Alex Schleber

Here is my feed: http://l.clipotech.com/shared - I will try to add all of you on this list :) - Svartling
Don't forget to add all out new contacts in to groups. Otherwise we cant comment on each others shared items. - Svartling
http://www.google.com/reader... - Almost exclusively tech, including humor/cartoons and productivity. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
http://www.google.com/reader... - I share items about productivity, gaming, movies, and misc. stuff from the Google "cool" via Recommendations feed. Thanks Kol for starting this thread because I've been trying to cut down on the number of feeds I subscribe to and instead just follow interesting people. - Dusty Edenfield
Svartling: good point about adding people to groups. I noticed I couldn't comment on items that were shared by some users. - Dusty Edenfield
Thanks everyone. - Kol Tregaskes
I've (we) written a lot of more good tips on how to use Google Reader in Google Reader comments. It's too bad we don't have permalinks in Greader so we can share our notes and comments. Otherwise I could have posted a link here. Here are some on friendfeed: http://friendfeed.com/svartli... - Svartling
here's mine! Love some of the new features... http://www.google.com/reader... - tomit

The conversation is really blowing up (in a good way) on Reader. The most important reminder currently is to set up groups and allow commenting. That is NOT on by default! - Vince DeGeorge
Vince, exactly! - Kol Tregaskes
Not sure how I missed this thread. I share lots of tech news, some programming stuff and a little more at http://www.google.com/reader... - Rob Diana

http://www.google.com/reader... - German - mostly politics and crude funny things. Maybe some new technology - JoeD
Thank everyone. - Kol Tregaskes
There are a few entries here you might like to read to help you. This one: http://ff.im/6CkQj explains about adding people to groups to allow them to comment and why some don't stay in groups. In this one: http://ff.im/6F9pQ I suggest a way to track a large number of shared items using PostRank. This: http://ff.im/6Ci0P and this: http://ff.im/6AM35 has a few tips on using GReader as a lifestreaming service. And this: http://ff.im/6EMT1 gives a few examples of GReader bundles. - Kol Tregaskes

http://www.google.com/reader... -- nothing shared yet; still learning several social networks & services, so it might take me a while... - Dennis Jernberg
Those of you above whom I already follow on FF/Twitter/etc., I've subscribed to your feeds. As for the rest of you: if you follow me on GReader, I'll follow you back. - Dennis Jernberg

Because I have issues with data duplication, I have merged this list with the google reader shares room feeds. You can view the Google spreadsheet at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc... - Rob Diana
There are a bunch of shared feeds that I could not resolve the Google username for because they did not have a named profile set up. - Rob Diana
tristanhambling, your link didn't work. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
Thank you very much, Rob! - Kol Tregaskes
http://www.google.com/reader... Right now I'm testing it in comparison to Netvibes. It's yet to be seen if I end up making the switch. - Brad Williamson
http://www.google.com/reader... Mainly photography related things. - Sven
It would be really handy to have all these shared feeds as an opml file. Has anyone added everyone? Care to export an opml of the shared feeds? - Paul Jacobson
Paul, can do that but it will be out of date the moment I post it as I'm getting more new users all the time. - Kol Tregaskes
Maybe someone could hook up something via Yahoo Pipes (or whatever) to automatically generate the OPML? - Tristan Seligmann
Damond, I'm getting that deja vu feeling. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Whoa, hey, I'm late to this. I'm here: http://www.google.com/reader... :-) - Jordan Hofker
I'm http://www.google.com/reader... Not really comfortable with the custom URL though since it can only be your gmail username. Makes it really easy for spamspiders I think. - TobiasVerhoog.com
Tobias, possibly but not had any problems myself though Gmail has the best spam filters around so I probably not noticed. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

MF/Kol = I live in Kingston on Thames. It's OK apart from the traffic (continually gridlocked) and the shops (girls just lurve them). Handy for getting into London both airports and out to the Thames Valley for work type things. Richmond Park and the river in walking distance is great too. - Andy C
phew.. - Paul Greer
Andy, Richmond Park and the others around there are the appeal really. Good place to go photographing and cycling while being very close to London I think. - Kol Tregaskes
Teddington (across the river from Kingston Upon Thames, is where I think I'd like to live. Just 'cos it's cheaper than everywhere else around it. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
@Kol many years ago, we made the mistake of asking an estate agent in Surbiton whether it was any cheaper than Kingston. She replied 'No - of course not. We are on the fast line to Waterloo' and looked at us as if we were dog excrement. - Andy C
I've checked rental prices in the area several times over the last 2 years and Teddington is definitely cheaper. I'm not buying, no way I can afford that. ;-) All a pip-dream anyway, need a steady job and I've not had that for a while. :-( - Kol Tregaskes

The Would-Be FFugees Shouldn’t Pack Up And Find A New Home Just Yet - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
The Would-Be FFugees Shouldn’t Pack Up And Find A New Home Just Yet
"Following Facebook’s acquisition of FriendFeed, a lot of users in that community were up in arms. Basically, everyone was quick to jump to the conclusion that FriendFeed, as we knew it, was dead. And with the comments immediately following the deal, the parties on both sides did little to change that line of thinking, basically saying things along the lines of “we’ll see.” Many users were threatening to leave the service immediately, turning them into yes, FFugees. Well, now that the FriendFeed team is successfully in their new Facebook office and working to get up to speed on their new site, Steve Gillmor got a chance to catch up with FriendFeed co-founder Paul Buchheit, and to ask him some of the questions that Mike didn’t touch on too much during his interview with Buchheit last week. Warning, the video below is quite long (over 50 minutes) and free-flowing at points, so I’ll summarize some of the key things said first." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet
Still nothing very concrete from the notes anyway. Oh well, I'm just going to continue as normal. But sounds like very little new stuff will appear on FriendFeed for a while. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
OK, this is the first truly substantive interview by anyone from the FriendFeed team since the acquisition. A MUST-READ, largely somewhat reassuring re: the future of the service beloved by many of us.. oh, and how in hell is this not on Best of Day yet ?!?!?!?!?! You gotta be kidding, after all of the howling and gnashing of teeth last two weeks, one would think that people are hungry for this information. Must be a 5 stages of grief thing: 4 - depression.. - Alex Schleber
Must be the slightly insider-joke-ish title and post image that has people unduly ignoring this, anyway, I don't care that it's Summer, Saturday, or #Gnomedex...FriendFeeders, vote this up! - Alex Schleber
+1 "On the topic of the fears some FriendFeed users have about still using the service because their data may just disappear if FriendFeed does, Buchheit notes that if anything, the Facebook acquisition has lowered the chances of that happening. He says that in the big picture, it’s so little data, and takes very little to support. And Facebook is a huge, secure company now. (He is, of course, alluding to the fact that FriendFeed was in a much less stable position in the market.)" - Eric Johnson

I Love You Google Reader, But We Have Some Issues - http://regulargeek.com/2009...
I blame Louis for the proliferation of this style of blogging (relationship letters). It's a lot harder for someone like me to extract the feedback from this as opposed to him just saying: 1) You want me to create groups, but don't show them to me in Reader 2) Do all people subscriptions have to be connected to Google contact manager 3) ? - Jenna Bilotta
we are working on some of this stuff, but we prefer to release early and often and some features that seem reasonable are just bits that haven't quite been built yet for one reason or the other. - Jenna Bilotta
Hey now. :) For the record, when I want to make suggestions, they're direct. Like this one. http://louisgray.com/live... or this one: http://louisgray.com/live... - Louis Gray
I think the confusion I have seen here and in other articles stems mostly from people who are familiar with FriendFeed and are curious as to how much overlap with Reader they should expect. I find Reader to be fantastic, but I'm not looking for it to be my social network. Another similar article to Rob's is this one: http://shegeeks.net/google-... - Louis Gray
On the flip side, it seems clear that if LG uses GReader to share your GR rant, you can be reasonably sure that someone on the GR staff will read it :P - Daniel J. Pritchett
Jenna, I have not had enough sleep lately :) I tried to be somewhat clear when I was making the real point, but as usual failed to balance it. Basically, groups should be more directly obvious in google reader and maybe used within the interface as well. Using Contacts as the starting point and then having no reference to them (except in settings) makes it really confusing. - Rob Diana
And by the way, I really love Google Reader. Just check how many shares I throw around on any given day :) - Rob Diana
The other main point I was trying to make was that trying to integrate other google services like contacts can really confuse things, and even start people down the path of Google wanting to own everything. - Rob Diana
Rob - agreed. I'd say we are at the mid-way point for making group editing and use much much more robust without leaving Reader. (and I know contact manager is working on improvements as well). Thanks for the post, tho, and the feedback! - Jenna Bilotta
On the flipside of that, though, is that if you have all of your "people" or connection information in a centralized service, getting started quickly with content from people you care about on new services (or on old services in new ways) demonstrates immediate value. The android/latitude integration is just one example, but since I got my Gcontacts in order and sync them all to my... more... - Jenna Bilotta
Well, centralization/decentralization is an argument in computing that constantly goes back and forth. Both have benefits and issues. I think part of the problem is that Contacts needs work and Reader needs better group integration. If both happen, then you would probably get the benefits that you mention. However, given that Reader is evolving more into a social networking application,... more... - Rob Diana
I think what you describe is a mental model shift, fundamentally. Did you know that when you follow someone in Reader who doesn't make their contact information public, that person's info is stored in the Google contact manager as a reference URL only? Maybe it's a nomenclature issue, but the contact manager is becoming so much more than actually contacting people. It's a way to manage connections to people (and info) you care about. And yes, it needs to be better and so does Reader's links into it. :) - Jenna Bilotta
Jenna - Great to see Google Reader innovating so quickly! Fine with me to trade some rough edges for quick progress... - Eric Johnson
Jenna - Interesting. Could Reader be a bit smarter about how it adds folks to gcontacts -- at least if they've got a public profile? Right now Reader adds a gmail email address. Not name. Not nickname. Not shared google reader url, or profile url. So I'm left with gcontact orphans -- because nothing I know these folks by has made it into gcontacts. - Eric Johnson
Rob - That's what groups are *for*. One could, theoretically, place everyone who you share with into one contact group and your Reader contacts would be separate from your email contacts. Jenna - Reader has so many great features already, so I have to say that I am totally satisfied as-is. There are a couple of additions which would be (extra) icing on the cake though, so some of my... more... - Californian
holy cow! You made a doc! That's totally awesome! (sending it to team.) - Jenna Bilotta
Californian, I understand the idea of grouping all of my Reader contacts into one group, as that is what I am doing right now, but it seems to only be a partial solution. As Jenna has said, they are not done, so I am just waiting to see how they continue to improve. If you are looking for people to follow, there have been several FriendFeeders sharing their feeds, and I dumped them into a spreadsheet at https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc... - Rob Diana
Jenna - I'm thrilled that you read it! I hope it was helpful. :) - Californian
Rob - Maybe I don't understand what you mean by group integration. I'm looking forward to the improvements, too, but I don't see how contacts can improve much more. Thanks for that link. That's quite the list! - Californian
Californian, my thinking is that if we are using groups from contacts, then the group itself should be part of the google reader interface. So, under the "People You Follow" section, you would see the group names (like folders), and you could expand the groups to see the users. Of course I leave it up to the Reader team to do something awesome. - Rob Diana
Rob, we do show you your groups, under "sharing settings" but only the groups you check there will show up when you are editing an individual person. more to come. - Jenna Bilotta
Jenna, I did see the sharing settings stuff. I am just waiting to see what you can do to improve. No, I am not waiting patiently :) - Rob Diana
patience is a virtue! :) - Jenna Bilotta
Hmmm. Jenna, it's the "I'm not a fan of" that I'm not a fan of, because I find it ambiguous in a confusing, rather than an interesting, complex, way. Why not just say, "I don't like?" - Amy℠
@amy - confused. what are you referring to? - Jenna Bilotta
Oh now I get it! Yes, that *does* make sense. I added it to the request doc. :) Jenna - even if Rob won't be patient, I will! It's only possible to go so fast; there have been a lot of features added recently. Keep up the awesome work, and I'm sure even Rob won't be to mad about waiting! - Californian
I've always loved GReader. My #1 gripe after it became social is duplicates within shared items. The #1 wish list item is to allow mapping folder shares to contact groups. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
I have worked out in my own 'People you follow' why gReader (GR) keeps dropping the groups. Its because I had them stored twice in gContacts (GC). As @Jenna says above GR stores them as a reference URL only. If you look at the bottom of your GC you will have lots of 'unnamed contact' with a link to a google profile. This profile is a number only, but if you cut n paste, it takes you to... more... - Jez Arnold
@jez If you've added someone that doesn't make their name public, you'd get anonymous. But if you can visit the profile URL stored in the unnamed contact and see the name, that's a bug. (we'll look into it if so.) Related: Do you also use an andriod phone? (i had several unnamed contacts that I eventually realised were being created there) - Jenna Bilotta
By the way: for heavy lifting you can use the standalone version of the contact manager to work with your groups if you don't want to load all of gmail at contacts.google.com - Jenna Bilotta
@jenna.. i do use an android phone (but solved that issue last week!) To be fair the people I added who I saw in GC were not anonymous. Its people who are generally named above! it seemed to be a double entry - ie Rob Diana was /profiles/112624749923167968448 as well as /profiles/robdiana .. once i realised who they were by following the link, i merged the two and now GR works fine. its just time consuming. - Jez Arnold
@jenna.. thinking about it. I did go through to several people who were *JUST* numbers and no profile name (which everyone has worked out is the gmail address) - Jez Arnold

"Google Contacts seems like a dumping ground for anyone that has ever had any sort of contact with you. It is seriously high maintenance, and I am not a fan of high maintenance." - Yup. And Google Contacts in that way is also pretty Facebook friends-like. (which I do not mean as a complement) - Meryn Stol
+1 Meryn. But with a much more raw user experience than Facebook right now. For example: let's say you do add somebody to a group so they can see your comments. (Best done standing on one foot, btw.) Guess what gets added to your Gmail address book? Their gmail email address. Fair enough. But not their name. Not their shared items URL. Not even the nickname shown in Reader. - Eric Johnson
The Google Reader folks are clearly working hard to exploit the FriendFeed-Facebook uncertainty. But it's not always pretty! - Eric Johnson
Hmm... I'm not sure if the Reader team's behavior is opportunistic. It's a quite natural progression for them. They can't help to be inspired by both Facebook and FriendFeed, they're users of these services themselves. You're right that on Facebook, things are much better integrated. Google lacks central coordination of all the efforts. They should make a position for their own "Zuckerberg". The social world is quite far apart from both "apps" and "search". - Meryn Stol
