Your pics a great! Keep em coming! - Tim FitzGerald
Good luck keeping up. :) - lilbyrdie
Yeah, thanks for subbing me. I really enjoy your photos and I might never have seen them otherwise. - Akiva Moskovitz
thomas - how long did it take to add em all? did you have some script do it for you? - Tad Donaghe via twhirl
That's some serious adding. I find that it's not terribly easy to reciprocate after the fact. What methods did you use? - Bwana McCall
TH - love your pics and your favs too - Dave Martin
Sweet, you are following ME now! Now who is the mouse and who is the cheese! - J. Phil
Wow - I use Friendfeed the opposite way. - Steve Rubel
why would you do that? Seems like way too much... I've been moving in the opposite direction - removing people I've been following so I can have far less noise - Jonathan Greene
I went from 10 to 100 a little over a week ago and it certainly made things significantly more interesting. FriendFeed is taking a lot of my attention away from Techmeme, and providing a much broader view of what's going on out there. - Larry Rubin
Tad, it took me a long time, maybe 3 or 4 hours. I don't have or know of a script to auto add reciprocity. I think Scoble had one for Twitter but I don't know of one for FF yet. Basically I went to who subscribed to me and then cmd-clicked them all into new tabs and one by one went through adding people. - Thomas Hawk
Jonathan and Steve, there is no need to remove anyone when you have the "hide" feature. If someone is too noisy you just need to hide whatever is causing the noise. I'm discovering lots of new interesting people this way. I love it. Even when someone twitters in a language I can't read for instance I can hide their twitters but still get their great flickr photos or flickr faves. selective hiding by service rocks. - Thomas Hawk
Want to add your Twitter follows to Friend Feed? Use Twitter 2 Friend Feed Importer. http://tinyurl.com/4rr2fl I am looking for a scrip that will check FF against my Twitter follows. - Russellreno
Welcome to myself!! Mmm, that didn't sound right. - Daniel Llacer
That is _A LOT_ of followers. I just hit 1,500 total, and it took me more than a day and a half! - Louis Gray
Sounds like a job for iMacros - Rahsheen Porter via twhirl
please add me - www.FriendFeed.com/vmjr - thanks! - Victor Ryden
I"m still not sure how you can possibly keep up with the information blitz that comes from 1000+ contacts. I get Scoble's meme about 'noise' over 'news', but I don't know how you sort out the useful nuggets from the rubbish. - Daniel Norton
Daniel, you can't, not when you're subscribed to that many. It's like a firehose. The info just keeps coming. I honestly have no idea why Thomas and Robert and others do this to themselves. You'd need to do nothing else all day but to watch the FF or Twitter page if you wanted to keep up with it all, and even then I think you'd miss a lot of updates from people. - Raoul Pop
I don't follow thousands of people on FriendFeed or Twitter, but even with the hundreds that I do follow, I feel like I'm dipping my toe in a rushing stream. Luckily, there is search. And in FriendFeed, comments and likes keep things bubbling. - Ontario Emperor
Is there an easy way of doing this in bulk, or did you click subscribe on 1000 accounts? - Duncan Riley
At what point does it become too much to handle? - Morton Fox
Duncan, unfortunately there was not a way to do this in bulk. Morton, I'm not sure it will ever be too much to handle thanks to hiding things. It's a balance. - Thomas Hawk

shouldn't they build an interstellar spaceship first? it would be more useful. - Nick
nick, a holodeck can simulate and interstellar spaceship. perception is everything. in fact, it's the only thing - Baratunde Thurston
@eric curious as to why you're posting statements directly to friendfeed. - Baratunde Thurston
I don't want to blog this stuff, my audience is more diverse than web nerds. Also, I have a full post on why I think Google is building a holodeck framework, but I'm just baiting at this point. heh. - Eric Rice
that's cool. also twitter is down. again. will be interested in your post - Baratunde Thurston via twhirl
the thing is, the holodeck only simulated stuff that you couldn't do because you were stuck on a spaceship. if you're actually on earth, why not really go whitewater river rafting or whatever, in actual reality? (shit, i'm gonna answer my own question here: sex with celebs and fake time travel.... duh. (though they did the latter on STNG a lot, for some reason they never did the former)) - Nick
Proof! Proof! :) - Alejandro S.
@nick that's present day things. I can't go back in time. And, I can't be everwhere Right Now. Let's go hang out in the Alps...ooh crap, can't gotta pick kids up from school. ;) - Eric Rice
I'm with Eric on the simulate thing. Tons of things I can't do and places I can't visit due to reality constraints. - Todd Jordan
Start with the Now. Google has a mapping/earth engine that contains relative proximity based information, in all media formats. From Street View to the laser scanning of buildings for 3D. Microsoft also does it, but they are uncool and probably can't figure this out yet hehe. So first step is to look at the current offereing and how robust it is. - Eric Rice
I mapped/toured Tokyo before I went, affecting my real state of presence there. When I got back, they actually improved the mapping, so every 3D building is rendered. I'm going to try this someplace like Paris next. I can also see the experiences of other 'patrons' via photo/audio/video... - Eric Rice
The notion of being in a rendered place (and being aware you in a rendered place) does not take away from a social experience and a spatial awareness. Ask anyone who plays Warcraft, Second Life, Halo, GTA, etc... seemingly normal things (by the dollars anyway heh). Sense of place is sense of place. - Eric Rice
My theory is that our minds are being conditioned to think in that dimension. What Google is building is essentially the pre-historic framework for that. For kicks, look on Xbox for the 'making of the museum of human history', the fictional documentary of how the diorama was built. - Eric Rice
We just don't have the absolute immersive interface.. YET. Look at what people can do with accelerometers and motion sensors and cameras and infrared on game consoles alone. - Eric Rice
Let your minds wander and don't think about next week, thing about next decade. And then think of how Microsoft could be the winner if they were smart enough to stitch things together internally. Heh, doubtful. :) - Eric Rice
But we wouldn't be able to interact with that environment, right? - Alejandro S.
Addendum: Google doesn't know they are building a holodeck. heh - Eric Rice
@alejandro that depends on the interface device. Take a basic game like GTA, you can interact; take one of the PS EyeToy games (aquariums and the Tori-Maki painting), you can interact... Haptic and tactile stuff has a long way to go; this winter we're getting our hands on EEG interfaces (wearable)... Hence why I made the disclaimer at the top: 'framework'... interfaces are still coming - Eric Rice
this reminds me of that old simpsons episode where lisa imagines VR helmets in school, she puts it on and genghis khan appears saying: "Hello Lisa, I'm Genghis Khan. You'll go where I go, kill who I kill, eat who I eat!" Now that would be something! - Nick
If I had a holodeck I'd simulate a desk with a computer on it that got FF. - Geoff Schultz
I have my own holodeck in Second Life - does that count? (it's actually pretty cool!) - Tad Donaghe
Oh sure it's all fun and games till you ask the computer to create a Professor Moriarty smart enough to challenge Commander Data. - Geoff Schultz
Yes, but will it save our health records? :) - Morton Fox
Using your health records it will create a "virtual you" to kill you over and over in cyberspace. - Tad Donaghe
sex with celebrities! - edythe
What if Google can scan people with lasers (in public) to create a 3D representation of YOU. Overlay that with all the data you (and your contacts) produce. Would one be able to recreate basic facets of personality (16 of them) based on the nuanced data and clues provided by you and your network? Then you have an avatar that is strong AI that could live for generations; talking with your gr-gr-great grandchildren. Yay for sci-fi! - Eric Rice
Yes but does it have real estate yet? - Prokofy Neva
hmm let me think what that would be good for... oh yeah. porn - Noah David Simon
"Mom! Grandpa's weird AI ghost is having sex with Penelope Cruz in the holodeck again!" - Nick
@prokofy yes of course, I have some land for you, just pay me and I'll send you the coordinates - Eric Rice
@nick I read that as 'Weird AL ghost ... having sex with Penelope Cruz" - Eric Rice

I didn't realize the @ replies worked that way. - Tom Landini
i hate the way @replies work.. its a pita to figure out what the reply is about.. assuming you DO want to know. What is wrong with attaching the @reply to the original message, so you see them in the order the occurred, with the msg they were about? Isn't that how forums work and have worked for some time? If it ain't broke, don't mess with it. - Tim Hoeck
Well, the @ link is approximate. Oft times, it points back to the wrong thing. - Jauder Ho
Hallelujah on the replies tab coming to m.twitter.com! - Michael Beck
Agree -- it's more confusing than helpful in my mind. - Charles Barthold
it'd be nice for less ad hoc method to arise. @ replying to multiple people is kind of disfunctional, for example. - felix
LOVE the way @replies work. it is finely tuned to show me EXACTLY what I want to see... conversations within my Twitter social graph. LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS but explain it better... - Elliott Ng
@ works fine for me -- just wish Twitter web would pick up @s anywhere in the tweet - Shey
I can see a book series coming. How to use Twitter, FF, Stumble, etc. etc - Charlie Anzman

Ok, cool but, there are already 5 or 6 of these out there. Other than the initial interface, what is the differentiator? - Bwana McCall
Ok, I answered my own question. Having used it, I can see the ease of use. It's pretty easy to create them and track the results. - Bwana McCall
LOL, half of twitter is not answering the polls in the right format. This is going to be challenging and fun. - Bwana McCall
what is the right format?? - Shey
You @reply with either a number (1|2) or a single keyword defined by the poll creator. I have my first one here: http://bwana.strawpollnow.com/ - Bwana McCall
so ... "@bwana 1" or "@bwana (1)" ? - Shey
@bwana 1 and then a reason like. "@bwana 1 because I said so". The keyword version is kinda confusing but I believe it's like "@bwana hancock because Will smith blah blah blah" - Bwana McCall
So what happens if you answer yourself or tweet about other stuff? I'm afraid to test it on my first poll... - Voyagerfan5761
D'oh, nothing. I'd still feel better if someone else were to try to respond to my poll and have the answer show up nonetheless. - Voyagerfan5761

" According to Yelp, Joe Alexander’s San Francisco based mattress store says that 80 percent of his total monthly business is directly attributed to the service." We bought a Keetsa mattress, although haven't had a chance to try it yet. Yelp seems way more trustworthy than Citysearch, which appears to have a lot of fake reviews from restaurant employees. - Chris White
I left a positive review for a place once, they read it, and the next time I was in there, they gave us our dinner and drinks on the house. I'm a huge fan of Yelp. - Akiva Moskovitz
I've had mixed success with Yelp. I find too many of the views pretty ridiculously immature, as in "Great food, super service, but this is where my boyfriend dumped me, so I'm giving this hellhole ONE STAR!!!!!!1" But if you look past the oft-unhelpful ratings, the actual comments can be insightful and useful, telling you what you may really want to order (or not order) in different restaurants, etc. - Adam Lasnik

Twitter to Friend Feed Importer finds all of your Tweeps on Friend Feed and subscribes them. - engtech
that sounds really useful. when will it be available? i cant see it on your site ...via AlertThingy - David Adam

You are a coding machine! - Phil Ashman
haven't been able to get it to work. it installs fine, but when i open the "friend feed importer console", after a few seconds it displays a bunch of errors ...via AlertThingy - David Adam
I'll try installing it on a clean machine and see what happens... I might have a missing dependency - engtech
Ah, it breaks on machines that don't have the HOME environment variable set. I'll release a fix. - engtech
w00t it works :) Installed fine, and is currently doing its thing. Thanks a bunch I was just thinking the other day how useful a tool like this would be. Whats it mean when it says "Can't find social graph" though? ...via AlertThingy - David Adam
I put more discussion about the social graph stuff in the blog post. I'm using XFN/FOAF stuff to find the connections between people... doesn't always work well. - engtech
it is running now but is there a way to produce a simple output instead of subscribing? I am now subsribing to some people I really did not want to subscribe to. ;) or better, if that thing could just produce two lists (twitter friend / friend feed twitter list) i could do a very neat comparison in excel myself. ;) - Nicole Simon
hm okay. ran it but have no idea if it aborted or not, but given the amount of friends i haev in both, it seems like it. a pause button at the end might be a good idea. :) waiting for the next version. ;) - Nicole Simon
superb! If only it was a web service.... - David Bausola
Web based service any time soon? :-) - Beau Giles
I think that would yield more churn than I'd want to handle. I'll have a smaller, more intimate list on FF than Twitter. The services aren't equivalent. - Chris Baskind
