Because I'm not my own host and WP doesn't support it :( - Mona N.
if we could embed our entire friendfeed page onto our site & have one click signup for non-friendfeed members. That would be superb. - Zee at WeDoCreative
Paul - did you fix the word wrap issue for comments? e.g. on my blog comments cascade across the column into the right margin - http://blog.infinitelymeta.com... not a big deal at all. just wondering. great work on the beta btw. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
you know what Paul - ignore what I said....apart from letting people sign up directly via the widget. Then my friends/family who aren't on friendfeed can comment directly plus you get a whole bunch of new 'non-techy' members. - Zee at WeDoCreative
What Mona said. I suggested to WP that they add FriendFeed to the "trusted javascript list"; they responded promptly saying that they would add it to their "candidate library". - Neil Saunders
I tried a couple of times to get it to work, but even with setting the width, the comments still sprawled outside the border of the widget and looked ugly. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
Still using the original script on the front page, but did add 'Share on FriendFeed' to the Blogger post template today. Awesome. - Marianne Lenox
I created my own widget using feedburner's RSS setup and some CSS code, so as I can get my entire lifestream, as set up on FF, to show up. Since I'm a crappy web designer, I may end up using the FF widget, after all... :/ Can we also use Yahoo Pipes on the Widget? I'm thinking of using Rasheen's duplicate removal setup, once he gets it to work... - Helen Is SOOO Not Of Troy
Yepp, works flawless :) (both widget & bookmarklet) - Kemal Yaylali
i haven't because i'm trying to figure out where to put it on my blog. - Morgan
Not sure Paul. I'm using Chris Pirillo's Social Media theme. Not a WP guru myself. Willing to test though. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
FYI: Adding the widgets (other than the "Share on FriendFeed" link) to self-hosted WordPress requires zero knowledge of WordPress templates. You login to WordPress, click on "Design", then "Widgets", and add a "text" widget and paste in the code. - Benjamin Golub
No because my blog sidebar is too narrow and changing the widget width cuts the text off mid-line. May redesign my blog one day when I'm bored. - Deborah Fitchett
I did, before Godaddy lost the location of my blog they host and I can't get it back :( - John Worthington
I had it on my old site design, just added it to my latest. Thanks for the reminder. - Jack Carlson
I just did the other day when someone posted the link here on FF. It rocks, thx. - Victoria/Plautia
Used it as an experiment in the 'blog that posted itself' recently. Great. Now I'd like to use it in sidebar as widget. Can't change text size tho'. Too big. - Kate Foy
Ditto Loic - but switched to the newer wider one. Would love to be able to do like 7 or 8 in instead of 5 OR 10. Try to keep the stream clean there for others. Think 7 would be perfect but one size doesn't fit all :) - Charlie Anzman
you can do different numbers, just change the num= variable. I use num=12 - Justin Long
I don't feel like my friendfeed content meshes very well with my blog. I enjoy friendfeed quite a bit, but I don't really feel the need to try to get more people to look at my friendfeed. I did try it a couple months ago before it was really public, when I noticed it on your blog, Paul. I do use the friendfeed comment plugin. Maybe I will add a share on friendfeed button. - Robert Felty
I did install it but I don't really like its size. I'd like something narrower and with a smaller font. I don't know if this is something I can fix with CSS magic, but that's not my thing. - Robert Konigsberg
From my point of view: How exactly would it help the readers of Blogoscoped? What's the problem it would solve? Not everything I say on Friendfeed is relevant to the content of Blogoscoped. Now, give me a widget that I can customize to make it be relevant just to a single specific blog post and I will give it a try perhaps... an RSS feed for "comments on URL xyz" (where I can make xyz be a Blogoscoped permalink of a new post) would be interesting :) - Philipp Lenssen
+1 to Philipp. The only widget I have on my blog is delicious tags, and I'm not even sure that's useful to my readers. - Amit Patel
Wow... I would love to know how he feels about his sons in uniform now, our current torture policy, and particularly how most of what was done to him doesn't officially count as torture. Looks like that will not happen. - Clare Dibble
Wow. See, the thing is I can understand being pissed off and tired with all the media and the grind. Yet, that's the job and it's not going to get easier when you're president. Secondly, pick your spots and know who you're talking to. Do this to ... a low-circ newspaper or blogger, but to Time? - AJ Kohn
Maybe the dude is just trying to sell more books. (I haven't turned to the weekly news magazines for news in ages, but isn't Time the one that is considered to be generally slightly right of center? Shouldn't it be home turf for McCain, relative to Newsweek?) - Chester
More than anything, he sounds exhausted. He'd better get some sleep before the convention! - Heidi Moon via twhirl
Describing the interview as "prickly" doesn't seem completely accurate if you listen to the audio. The interviewers' questions were a little on the pointed side (confederate flag? pre-marital sex?) -- and while McCain didn't come across as effusive or garrulous, this is not the same thing as "prickly." :-) - Karim
Worse, the transcript appears to have some errors that make McCain look bad -- after the confederate flag question, the transcript says McCain, quote, "[Does not answer]," when to me, on the audio recording, it sounds like *somebody* replies, "No." Also, the transcript says, "[long pause]" where there is, in fact, NO long pause, making it sound as if his answer is evasive, or not forthcoming, etc. - Karim
I am *not* a McCain supporter, but it seems unfair to describe him in this interview as "abrasive" when it just seems like he's being direct and to the point, or to say he was "determined to stay on message" as if that was a bad thing. It seemed a bit like they were baiting him, and they were disappointed that he didn't bite. - Karim
@Karim, agreed about the audible "no" to the confederate flag question. However, the media is accustomed to McCain's charm, particularly in one-on-one interview sessions where he's historically shined (evidence the "do I know you?" crack.) Taken in the context of how McCain usually handles interviews like this, "prickly" is accurate. - Ken Norton
Another example of that damned liberal media bias. - Chester
I guess. He just seemed pretty normal to me, and reluctant to get suckered into answering dumb questions, which I thought was commendable. He seemed cordial enough. My idea of an "abrasive," "prickly" interview is more like this one with Lou Reed (http://nymag.com/daily/enterta...) where he responds with a few choice expletives and then walks out. :-D - Karim
So this guy This (hah) wants you to cook the eggs for an hour instead of 10 minutes? That's not going to go over easy. I'd say the yolk's on him. Let me know if you agree, I'm walking on eggshells here. It's a fertile area for discussion, though, and he may be eggsactly right. - Stephen Mack
Stephen, I'm sure you meant say that wouldn't go 'ova easy' right? - Kevin Fox
From the source: "
Next, This turns up the oven thermostat to 67°C, or 153°F, and after waiting a while for the eggs inside to reach that temperature—again, he's casual about the timing—he retrieves a second one: "The 67-degree egg!" At this temperature the yolk has just started thickening up—some of its proteins have coagulated, but the majority have not. "Look, you can mold it," he says, scooping out the yolk and manipulating the pliable orangey-yellow ball like fresh Play-Doh. He tries to mold a heart, then settles for a cube.
"Try one," he says, taking a third egg from the oven for me to play with before turning up the heat to 158°F (70°C). The 70-degree egg, when it is finally done, has a moistly set yolk and a very tender white. "So you see, you can adjust the temperature depending on what you want," says This. If you prefer a firmer egg, cook it at 167°F or 176°F. Bear in mind, though, that the most copious of the egg-white proteins sets at 184°F—hence the rubbery results of the 212-degree bath." - Erica Baker
Given the information above, I want to see pictures of what each egg looks like at each temp. Kevin, can you post photos of your results? - Erica Baker
"We just launched a new set of customizable FriendFeed widgets for spicing up your blog or web site. There are several ways to embed FriendFeed, and you can pick as many of them as you want." - Paul Buchheit
Thanks for more options but still JS only. :( The likelihood of any site I don't maintain allowing me to use JS is slim to non. Please add 1 flash widget? Pretty please? With sugar on top? - Erica Baker
FWIW, in http://pastebin.ca/1186734 I've put my FriendFeed badge setup. Stolen elsewhere, I forgot where, thanks to the original author. Hope it helps. - Cesar Cardoso
For those that are using the feed widget, note that you can change num=x in case the defaults of 1,5, or 10 aren't what you want. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
me again - it seems not to be picking up my default CSS values like the other widgets - it still insists on showing up as a white background black text. See http://pflix.com for example. - Mark Bean
Mark, the white is div class = friendfeed widget and needs to have the background overridden, it's set to white (obviously). The classes in the nested divs below it should inherit the new BG color. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
55 pounds?! The people that come up with these things are people who failed at math in grade school. Take away _one_ fare and you've lost double that weight. Idiots. - Erica Baker
A link to a stock photo of my ride: http://tinyurl.com/chromepista -- I now rock it with bullhorns, and toe clips. Put on a front brake, but, I never use it. Legs = stronger brakes, for the win. - Do You KNOW Clarence?
I ride a Raleigh Detour 3.0. 21-Speed Urban Cruiser. That said, I'm thinking about picking up a nice schwinn for when I want to ride like the wind. Update Linkage: http://www.raleighusa.com/bike... - Jason Toney
Still old school steel ('89) Bottecchia with Campy. Likely upgrading as Christmas present to myself. - AJ Kohn
I ride a Gary Fisher Mamba. Black/white/yellow. I think it's heavy and the wheels are smaller in diameter than, like, everyone else's bike that I've seen. So I'm working harder than many riding it on the pavement, but since I've put some money into it, I'm loathe to ditch it. - Erica Mauter
Bianchi Strada, mountain-bike handlebars, Shimano brakes. - George Kelly
Nice, nice; lovin' a view of everyone's rides. What type of mileage are you putting in? My regular commute on my fixed-gear is 7-10 miles round trip depending on my routes, and I usually get an additional 10-15mi rides in with some other cats late nights. - Do You KNOW Clarence?
I was just thinking about how I need to get my bianchi volpe fixed up and get riding again. It's a beautiful dark metalic green and black with purple cow tape on the handlebars. I'll have to take a photo. - Goldie Katsu
Trek Navigator 3.0 - http://www.trekbikes.com/ca/en... - not quite a "bike shaped object" but close. It's slow as the dickens, but my knee problems meant I had to downgrade to this model from a hybrid with road tires. - Cecily Walker

...now they'll never have to worry about those pesky performers who aren't attractive enough for the "best experience." Just transplant the face of a more "pleasing" performer and go on about business as usual. - Erica Baker
So far so good. Mom's only requests: set up my email and make the fonts bigger. I got her using Gmail last year so setting up IMAP was a breeze. I need to slowly introduce her to using the calendar now. - Erica Baker
"Senator Barack Obama informed two of his top three vice-presidential prospects Friday night that he would not be choosing them, Democratic officials said, encouraging a consensus within the party that he had settled on Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware." - Bret Taylor via Bookmarklet
From what I could tell, it seemed to hit Twitter, CNN, Fox and the Times at exactly the same time. Interesting .... again. (Edit) and now most of the major wires confirming. - Charlie Anzman
Excellent. I suggest you place some large bets, see here: http://iemweb.biz.uiowa.edu/qu... BTW, the 1:4 is for Biden being selected, not elected. - j1m
Royce we were talking about it three hours ago. :) Another win for FF! - Anthony Citrano
Well, there's now this: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08... , so it's probably right....doh! I take it back. Still no text message many minutes after the nyt article. So Biden is a decoy. - j1m
Bret Taylor - Newsbreaker. Has a great ring to it ... - Charlie Anzman

In today’s ruling, which rejected the federal government’s motion to dismiss the case, Judge Jeremy Fogel of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division, relied on U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Alex Kozinski’s opinion in Conant v. Walters, which stated, in part, "Applied to our situation, this means that, much as the federal government may prefer that California keep medical marijuana illegal, it cannot force the state to do so." - Erica Baker

Aw someone didn't tell him that "web 2.0" is all about blatant bandwagoning. Thank goodness he wasn't around for the pea-vatars. - Erica Baker

“Why can't I search for wall art by color palette. Every site I look at limits me to the artists description. I want an RGB color picker thing that says "find art with colors close to this."”
shopwiki.com does it. If only they included content from more sites and their search was a weeeee bit better. (Searching for monet should not return shoes as a first result.) - Erica Baker
