This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.

Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" ..
- Petr Buben
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :]
- Petr Buben
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Hehe, Greg. Blimey! Erm, is that not far from 500 likes now? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes).
- Roberto Bonini
I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little
- Steve C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?
- Kevin Pedraja
So we can put this post to rest now. :-) 505 likes final count, wow! :-D Good night all!
- Kol Tregaskes
My like is the last one so far :) - 509 afaik
- getalifejerk
did 3 people really un-like this? now at 506. wtf (edit: uh, oh, yeah, me and 2 + 506 others makes 509. dammit, jim, i'm an artist, not a mathematician)

"Though the term “herd behaviour” today is most often used when talking about financial markets, it originally described individuals in a group acting together without direction – for example an animal herd fleeing from a predator. When seen from above, animal herds seem to follow intricate and intriguing patterns."
- Kol Tregaskes
from Bookmarklet
When we watch Planet Earth, I'm always amazed at the sheer numbers of herds. I like to think of herds as >1000 (is that less than?), but we saw one doc that showed something like 25K gazelles. Amazing. Or the one with the gigantic flock of birds. WOW.
- Admiral Anika
Planet Earth is an amazing documentary. I guess Nature's Great Events are on their way to the US soon too. That's another great natural history doc from the BBC.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yes, I've seen NGE, but seriously PE is infinitely better, visually speaking. The only thing that bugs me about PE is the constant, "Thanks to our brand-new, super-expensive technology we were able to be the first to capture this fish swimming." or whatever. Enough with the dick-stroking just give me facts.
- Admiral Anika
Yeah but there isn't much of that to be fair and is completely overshadowed by the quality of the images and documentary. Both NGE and PE are excellent. We get so much of that from the BBC, it's great.
- Kol Tregaskes
You don't think it's a lot? The other night we watched the PE marathon on Discovery. In each hour show, Weaver must have mentioned it 3 - 4 times. That's a lot to me. :) I can't wait to get both series in a boxset, but we agreed that we'll wait until we get a better TV.
- Admiral Anika
Anyone know when the new Planet Earth is coming out, i heard they were filming it a long time ago but i know it takes years to make those?
- Steve C
Steve, I had no idea there was even a new one in the making. How exciting.
- Admiral Anika
Steve, I just realized that the Planet Earth marathon I was watching was narrated by Sigourney Weaver, whereas the old ones were narrated by David Attenborough. Maybe these are the new ones, which explains why I was confused over some of the topics thinking, "Gosh I don't remember that one."
- Admiral Anika
New Planet Earth? News to me. I think there is a "movie" coming out or even out but I've not heard of any new series.
- Kol Tregaskes
In the U.S. Discovery cut the episodes and redid the narration with Sigourney. Same footage.
- Stephen Mack
Ah you can't beat David Attenborough - who could ever replace him?
- Kol Tregaskes
I'll have to look it up, but I thought it was in like Discovery magazine that they were making the next set of series. I was wrong once in like the second grade, so I guess it could happen again.
- Steve C
Seriously? I liked Attenborough's narration.
- Admiral Anika
Anika. That's what I meant. There's no one better IMHO. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
David Attenborough is the king. Nobody else comes close. He's an incredible man- Parkinson did a great interview with him.
- Bec Rowe @d0tski
And Attenborough says he has no plans to retire. Yippee for us. :-)

"Given the uncertainty of ad spending, the tremendous dollars going into digital media, the increasingly competitive landscape and the jittery global financial markets, I have added a few criteria to my check-list: * Initially sells to the enterprise for branding, credibility, awareness and early revenues * Can get to revenues within 6 months, tops * Is sold on the basis of ROI, e.g., helps generate revenues or reduce headcount/costs * Integrates easily with existing platforms and/or programs * Either leverages existing open source programs or can itself become partially or fully open source * Has multiple revenue streams, e.g., software, maintenance, services, etc."

couple stretch items on his list but nice of him to share
- mike "glemak" dunn
I was wondering which ones seem a stretch? I was reading this and it describes a startup I am working with to a "T".
- David Muir
12.5-25x seems a stretch to me ... that's grand slam territory. not unachievable, but not by any means "common".
- Andrew Badera
I tend to agree. But I read through and was trying to glean when the exit for the VC would be; after how many years? According to my calculations, asset value growth of over 30% per year still means a 13 year wait on an initial investment of $1 million to walk away with $25 million.
- David Muir
VC is almost always in terms of a ~5 year exit strategy I thought ...
- Andrew Badera
VC is evil. Smart CEOs do everything they can to avoid this route.
- Geoff Livingston
Everyone would love to bootstrap Geoff, but it's not a matter of "smart" vs. "dumb" it's a matter of practicality and pragmatism.
- Andrew Badera
25x return selling into enterprise space which tends to see rapid fast followers and commoditization is one stretch david... not all vc's are evil geoff but certainly some are - expect it's probably same ratio as general life ;) a huge percentage of today's businesses have leveraged vc funding when in proof of concept phase so they (we) serve a purpose... andrew's pragmatic statement is right on...
- mike "glemak" dunn
here's a few more stretches now that i'm on a laptop & not my iphone - 1) revenue in 6 months along w/ selling into enterprise is a challenge since enterprise sales cycles are notoriously long for any company let alone an unproven startup 2) integrates easily in an enterprise space is an oxymoron - again, its a good post and not all things stated are stretches (plus it is his fund so his call)...
- mike "glemak" dunn
sorry one more, the positive: "intersection of web services, network performance and cloud computing. More and more enterprises will shift portions of their processing, services and storage to the cloud, as the imperatives of cost reduction, scalability and flexibility take hold." - i think this is right on and valid, i'm seeing the same sorts of companies approach me and can't fault their biz models...
- mike "glemak" dunn
Andrew/Gregory, I actually clarified this in another comment thread. What I mean is that it takes no more than $1-$2 million to know if you've got a $25-$50 million business. I take lots of risk. I just want to make sure the business doesn't require loads of capital to know whether or not it is likely to get the traction required to be successful. It may well make sense to raise an additional $2-$3 million in a Series A to help the company execute its growth plan, and I'm ok with that.

Some great programs on this list. I would have included Chrome instead of Safari, though. I think Safari for Windows isn't quite ready for prime time yet, neither version 3 nor 4 beta.
- Ray Metzen
the fact that you have safari on this list means you have never actually used it for windows
- Zach Scott
If you're a blogger, Windows Live Writer is a great free app and one that I'd have on my list - it's a rare gem from Microsoft ...
- Patrick Jordan
@Patrick, I have used Live writer, I also agree it is a rare gem from Microsoft. I honestly don't like it though.
- TheHenry
You must be smoking if you think Safari's a Top 10 Windows app
- LANjackal
Not smoking. BTW I took what all you said, and I changed it to google Chrome. :)
- TheHenry
I find the Safari 3 to be a bit more better than the chrome, I didn't like the beta layout of the four though. Something was very un-safariish like.
- Faraz Mullick
Faraz, it's probably because they appropriated Google's layout. TBH I actually like Chrome more than Safari, personally.
- Chieze Okoye
Didn't like the list, and I don't use most of them. A bit lame.
- Ozkan Altuner
Hey, its one man's opinion. Don't hate. He amended the Safari recommendation which should give him some breathing room ;).
- Adi
Nice Apps listed. CCleaner is highly recommended for Windows users.
- Nicholas James
Notice that, of the applications listed, 4 are available as native Linux apps (VLC, Thunderbird, Gimp, Picasa), one is due to be available on Linux (Google Chrome), and 2 address Windows' shortcomings compared to Linux (CCleaner, FileHippo).
- Ghodmode
from twhirl
that's because you have continuously thanked people or added bullshit comments everytime others have commented. And your alter-ego Techno Todd seems to do the same. Were really not stupid TheHenry - whatever you might think.

Chrome should be there rather than Safari. And Thunderbird is the ugliest mail app I've ever used. Functional for sure, but really, really needs a UI re-write.

"In engineering terms, it is easy to see qualitative similarities between the human brain and the internet's complex network of nodes, as they both hold, process, recall and transmit information.

"Chris Jordan thinks a lot about statistics. Things like the number of sodas consumed in 30 seconds, how many commercial flights are in American skies every eight hours — things like that. But he's done more than just think. Taking 26 interesting facts about U.S. consumption, he fired up Photoshop and created visual depictions of each one. The one above is a close-up of his rendering of the number of cellphones retired in the U.S. in a single day: 426,000."
- Kol Tregaskes
from Bookmarklet
The 2nd one significantly. Less noise. The 1st one overemphasizes the groupings, and is not a flattering background counterpoint to the colorful headers.
- Garry Tan
I love the new style. I do prefer the all white background of the original though. Minor, I know. But I just prefer the whitespace. Other than that, the new style is great.
- Diego Barros
2nd one, maybe a black background instead of grey. The colors of the current version make it look..."childish"? I dunno....just very hard to describe. The 2nd one seems like it would flow as a new version from the old IMHO.
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
I'm fine with the first one, as kilbuda said, 2nd one looks washed out. But I seem to be in the minority here. Btw, if we darken the blue in the second pic, will peeps start saying FF looks like FB? =P
- vijay
I prefer the white somewhat, although the clear separation of the current version is good. I think the best solution is customization and themes by the user.
- Louis Gray
Like the white, on the right, but with the bolder colors, borders and fonts in the boxes in the version on the left. So a mix of the two, perhaps.
- Mike Lizun
Some might argue that the theme is already customizable (i.e. me), but determining what the default looks like is probably the goal. My vote is the one on the right, though I don't have this aversion to grey that I see all over my feed.
- coldbrew
The first one seems to be hedging it's bets. I would definitely go for the second.
- Chris Nixon
I like the gray background. Catch me on Monday and I'll likely prefer the white - until the following Thursday, of course. It's CSS; give us a widget on the right with a theme chooser and make the choice sticky.
- James Leard
I like bold colors for headers (and use them on my own pages) and I like the bold colors that FF uses. As for gray backgrounds, I used to use a grayish background on my own pages (see http://web.archive.org/web...), because I think a separate content and page background looks better. However I moved to a more boring white (http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp...) because it's less distracting, and I liked that aspect of this user style for FF.
- Amit Patel
To get bold headers in AJ's userstyle: remove the .bar line, and add .bar :link,.bar :visited { color:white ! important; }
- Amit Patel
The second one by far. I don't like the gray background.
- EricaJoy
page design - right side; AJAX code is stunningly better in left (new one)
- A.T.
I like the gray background (silent majority?). But the comment highlighting in AJ's userstyle is quickly becoming a must have for me. I think the taste in background scheme is a lot like if whitewall tires appeal to you or not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Micah Wittman
Or, maybe the left is too strong, the right too weak... There are other type and leading issues, but, those are another thing...
- Glen Group
I have installed the script to get the neat look without the gray BG!
- Krishnamoorthy
2nd. please kill the gray background at minimum. and bring back the source icons. Otherwise the new version of FF is awesome.
- Gabe
The new FF has lost functionality IMO. I used to be able to manually get a service to refresh and now that functionality is gone.
- Jauder Ho
Jauder, the functionality is there, just moved: Go to your services page (http://friendfeed.com/jauderh... ), Click on one of your services listed (e.g. Tumblr), Click "Refresh Tumblr".
- Micah Wittman
Micah, thanks! It's still a pain though since it's now multiple clicks away instead of being right there.
- Jauder Ho
The second. Just installed it tonight, and I'm very pleased with it (don't like the comment highlighting, though, just the cleaner white and blue color palette).
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I dont like exact grey background, but almost everything else I like better on the left - perhaps I should do a user css to get rid of the background, since opera makes it so easy!
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
The second one of course. Nice work. I do miss the talk bubbles and the social media service icons that FF removed. And the font is too big.
- Gregg Scott
Nice. I like the Email/IM notification accordion the the home page. The people who stayed on legacy FriendFeed are going to feel this one.
- Mark Trapp
I so love these new features. I have been using the beta since it came about, and I used it instead of the regular, ugly Friendfeed. One problem, their is no accounts button, how do I change other information. That was one slight design flaw that needs to be fixed.
- Zachary TG
Zachary: we updated the "settings" page ("settings" link below your name in the top right); everything should be in there now. Let us know if you notice anything missing.
- Tudor Bosman
Guys, you're doing a bad thing launching half-baked version without a notice. There's at least no imaginary friends and I can't export my subscriptions now (I've used FrF as RSS reader and have hundreds of them). That's not mentioning another little tweaks you've missed (i.e. service icons — even FaceBook got it right, they have service icons for imported entries and have no for their own status updates). You're ruining the whole experience of managing a lot of information.
- Juras Vetrau
congrats! now back to "listening to your users" pls :)
- Phil Smirnov
please give back old friendfeed, this one looks bad
- Peter
Juras, I think there are one other % of FF users who feel the same. Same think happened to Facebook users. But we've to move on. Imaginary friends can be added as "feed". The lack of service icons AFAIK increased the generic participation (in Friendfeed). You can create filters for "service=" if it's necessary. I agree with you on the OPML part.
- Jérôme Flipo
Rock & Roll! Very happy with the interface. Thanks for listening to the considered opinions you have, and implementing fixes when necessary. You guys have done a fantastic job of keeping people informed of new changes.

I still don't like it, but I still continue to using FF
- Kristian Salonen
Those who can't handle the real-time, press Q: RT will be disabled by default for your account (re-press Q for the flood).
- Jérôme Flipo
Juras: I'm pretty sure they've been letting everyone know about this for some time...Where have you been?
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
The settings to automatically post likes or comments to Twitter are missing.
- Pat Hawks
couldn't you just put the old FF to old.friendfeed.com or somewhere like that?
- Barış (beyn.org)
Bret, you SHOULD check this out. New realtime version has JavaScript errors can be observed in Firebug: http://i39.tinypic.com/33u64qp... Now, I got 93 error. I think you changed something about AJAX response format (?)
- Alp
+1 Rob, this is hardly without notice. They've been shouting about it for weeks.
- Pat Hawks
Alp: thanks, we are looking into the issue
- Bret Taylor
Always there are those resistant to change. I remind you all of the last couple of Facebook updates. At least the FriendFeed team listens and responds to complaints, problems and issues, and corrects them when necessary ----Big smiles and kudos for that!
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
@jeromeflipo: FrF was internet's GTD tool — one inbox for all links and discussions with accurately separated content. Now it's a vast of content where you should read instead of scanning. It takes much more time. New design is good but core features doesn't work properly.
- Juras Vetrau
I love the new FF. Just wonder if the play/pause state can be remembered, so people might disable realtime updates.
- Arnaldo M Pereira
Bret, how do I get to the Advanced Twitter settings from the settings link under my name? I don't see it.
- Pat Hawks
Bret, you're welcome. I hope you don't remove http://friendfeed.com/realtime option for nostalgy :) By the way, in new version how can we learn users have subscribed us? You removed it from user popup dialog. And I think user-info popup has many whitespaces :) Why don't u fill them with comment/like stats? It shows the activity of user. I think it is critical.
- Alp
Would be great to get the "best ofs" in a list via email too.
- Steve Rubel
The play/pause state is remembered, so you can permanently turn off real-time if you don't want it. Steve: great point, we will add the ability to get "Best of" emailed to you.
- Bret Taylor
Play/pause wasn't remembered once, now it works. Maybe it was my mistake, thanks!
- Arnaldo M Pereira
wo0T! the IM notifier ROCKS...I'M uber-stoked on that feature. (IM is the new email! lol!)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
No offends, but seriously, the visual design sucks.
- Alexey Ivanov
I wish it could use a little more of my monitor screen real estate. :)
- Ray Cromwell
Bret, Dan or s.b. else, another CRUCIAL PROBLEM I discovered, after this new release, when people subscribed to me, I got notification mails entitled "... subscribed to your Friendfeed" twice or three times (which have a few minutes of delay between each other). You changed anything about mails settings(?) My friends ALSO reported that they get 2+ mails for new subscriber notifications.

Mark, you can find the posting link from the Tools page (found at the bottom of any page)

If you are going to give us all of this (wasted) grey space to the side of our live feed, at least let us put our own background on the page. I mean, that would make you that much more like twitter, which seems to be the goal.
- Wizetux
Qwerty: did you get a stupid picture gift (or see a bunch of "Which 70s rockstar are you" quizzes? LOL! -That's how you'd know you're on Facebook. (oh, and the new spam that they have there....got my first one today!)

Bret: Can I post via IM? If so can I CC:Twitter from there?
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
doh! I didn't see the help link in the IM. I have another reading lesson scheduled for tomorrow
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
ok...the CC:Twitter via IM question still stands....if not, can you think about adding that?
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
doubt i can get easily used to the "new" ff :( still have a firefox tab open on the realtime, with the old layout. guess i will just keep it as long as i can 0:)

I'm disappointed Imaginary friends has disappeared. I was actually using that feature to follow friends on Twitter (who didn't have FF accounts). Is there a way to do the same thing?
- Marc Chung
@Wizetux Thanks. Btw, your caps are on :)
- Marc Chung
New interface sucks. It really sucks, and giving headaches. You shouldve kept the old interface. Thanks for ruining one of my daily routines.

lovin it. are the best-of-summaries für the lists coming back?
- Marcel Weiß
@Marc: I know, I was attempting to yell over the noise of the grumbling over the new layout.
- Wizetux
Will it help if I join the crowd disliking the new version? Can't follow the conversation, too much color, too much moving around...
- Handem
Bret where are best of for lists? I don't see them anymore.
- Steve Rubel
The landing page - friendfeed.com - is especially great !
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Bret, Turkish users ask a favor; please, we ask for old.friendfeed.com ~ old style, look our avatars.

Not gonna happen, dude. Progress is progress.

I don't understand how to create Imaginary Friends. Yes "create a feed", whatever that's real helpful, not. I think the source for every entry should be an icon on the right like the previous version. Real-time updates are interesting and comments are the only reason to use this over twitter. New posting feature is good but everyone isn't on FF so I need Imaginary friends to continue to use FF or else buh-bye!
- Jude
@Jude The terminology is a bit confusing: It should really read "create a group" and add feeds to the group: Click "Browse /edit groups" > "Create a group". Setting it to private is basically the same thing as creating an Imaginary friend.
- Marc Chung
Please, old style friendfeed interface.New interface is wrong...
- nagas
Great job! It's SOOOOOO lightweight! It works on all my mobile devices! I love you guys! Nowadays it's so nice and rare to see redisign which doesn't make an interface a slow-working monster

@Marc, @Wizetux thanks for clarifying. At some point during the beta they were using the terminology, "create a feed" and now you have to click on Groups in order to get to the place to "create a feed" but you have to know that it's called "create a group" - AWKWARD ... I think that is a navigational fail and a nomenclature fail. "Create a feed" is important enough that it should have it's own link on every page OR Groups should just be called Feeds.
- Laura Norvig
Yep. It's one of the most enjoyable and notable addition in years in the way it's handled. It's in its complexity where, as the experiment is, as a whole a very as speedy, as you want it and as slow as reading is. Missing everything or nothing. Noticing and warming up of individuals, all linked by that exercise, always now expanding. Good job to all of you, the ideas were really good in all ways. As played out. Many thanks. ;p
- ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
for the interface. I think it is not as good as old edition.
- Ccming
or can we have a link for the old version!!!!
- TechFuga
One more request: can we please have an API for userscripts? Due to dynamic nature of pages it suddenly became very hard to do anything persistent to FriendFeed from Greasemonkey. All I need is a hook from inside FrF javascript to process new portions of pages.
- Alex Kapranoff
+1 to Alex Kapranoff's request. Also, please at least bring back service icons (them missing really interrupts my parsing of the stream, especially with those big ass avatars), if you won't provide us with http://old.friendfeed.com (or http://classic.friendfeed.com :P)
- Gina Häußge
Micah, thanks, already found that (first thing was to look up on userstyles and userscripts for means to help myself ;)), but it's kind of a hack, and IMHO it would be way better if the FF team included that feature back into the code base. Don't know why anyone would consider it a good idea to remove it in the first place tbh, but hey, we all know these days...
- Gina Häußge
I don't want to use this. There must be alternative to use old FF
- altblog #❶
Congrats, guys. Even works on IE6 now.
- James Myatt
get over it and use a third party client... you sound like people who use CDs
- Kemp Edmonds
from twhirl
Kemp, show me one that works as well and is as visually appealing as the old site (and also on both windows and linux without depending on Air (because that still kinda sucks under Linux)) and I'll shut up ;)
- Gina Häußge
sadly as a windows user and therefore pleeb (Slang for plebian. Often used to refer to noobs in an elitist sense.) by Macers and Linux' who can't help but be the envy of all. Sadly I sit contented by massive numbers of development projects and a variety of programs to choose from that is generally unlimited in cutting edge web apps... although I am a windows pleeb.

@Micah I tried the script. It doesn't work with imaginary friends.

How do I create imaginary friend feeds in the new gui?
- Carlos Brefe
Ouch, don't like. Agree with some of Juras V's comments, this makes skimming my feed for keeping a pulse on info/discussions MUCH worse for the time-starved (not speaking of RT aspect). Oh well, will try this for a bit, but feels like point where in Tom Peters' language FF is moving to "fire me as a customer." (Yes, I know we're not paying customers. I would have paid for old svc, was...

Will the daily activity emails (basically a digest) resume? Mine seemed to halt Apr 27 and the Email settings which seem currently available are absolutely flooding my inbox (had to turn it off within 5 mins). Please bring back daily digest type emails, really helpful if away for business or other reasons and ability to skim to catch up on info.
- Casey
@mchung Thanks for trying to clarify. Although creating a feed does not work the same since if a person already has a feed that's private, I can't use the same name. Bring back imaginary friends!!!
- Jude
Congrats FF... sorry I am late to the party...my work life is outta control... crazy busy! I miss FF :(.....
- Susan Beebe
I fully converted to FriendFeed BETA soon as it launched as I thought it rocked - now I don't have to put beta.friendfeed.com all the time :)
- Nicholas James
design (layout, interaction) had been mostly better in old variant, but AJAX engine you use in new variant just rocks (old ajax code was dead meat slow crap for desktops on steroids)
