Alien inter-galactic spaceship warp core engine breach? - Ňicķ

That's cool. See, this is why I have FriendFeed. I never would have heard about this otherwise. - Jason Shultz via twhirl

That's just a fly on the lens... - Michael W. May

"Light travel time 8.2billion years". A time long ago, in a galaxy far far away...death star explosion? - Mo Kargas

Other way, though, Mo. It wasn't there, then it was. - Michael W. May via twhirl

True, got confused by 'faded away' - Mo Kargas

What's it? Science: how would I know?:) - Igor Poltavskiy

iTunes is such a poor program. It lacks in so many surprising and obvious ways. - Akiva Moskovitz

Akiva - I strongly disagree. I love it, but there's no reason it won't pipe out RSS feeds we can use here. What don't you like about it? - Steve Isaacs

Well, you can sort of get there by scrobbling to last.fm. As for why it's a walled garden? It's made by Apple - walled gardens are just in the company's blood. Also, let me forward the thesis that iTunes simply blows - it's the primary thing that's keeping me from buying another iPod. - Eric

Well, on a Mac, it's apparently much better but on a PC, it's just rubbish. I only use it because I need to sync my iPhone. My main complaint about it is the lack of options over very simple things: where's the option to delete the original WAV files when converting to ALAC? Where's the option to automatically convert ALACs to AAC or MP3 when transferring to a device or burning to CD? Why can't I just play tracks without having to import them into the library? Where's the Now Playing list? - Akiva Moskovitz

Why can't I search the Radio list? Why can't multiple users run iTunes at the same time on a server machine? Why can't I specify HOW iTunes keeps folders organized? Where's the plug-in architecture so I can play and convert FLAC or APE files? I could go on and on and on... - Akiva Moskovitz

I've been pissed at itunes since one of their updates erased all my non-smart playlists. I spent a lot of time creating those playlists! - Shannon Jiménez

Make me a member of the iTunes hating club. I've settled on Songbird for Audio and WMP for Video so far. - Yuvi

Oh, Shannon reminds me of another good one: if I set up a Smart Playlist that has, say, 50 randomly-selected 4- and 5-star files... why can't it randomize from my library each time I sync my media device? It's just the same 50 tracks until I recreate the list from scratch. It's rubbish. - Akiva Moskovitz

Also, it's just a no-good PC citizen. PC apps should behave like PC apps on a PC because they are PC apps! - Yuvi

@Yuvi - why wouldn't you use VLC for your video needs .. WMP is such a pig on resources - Steven Hodson

@Steven - I like WMP's interface better. Honestly, I haven't given VLC much of a try. When I did try it last year, however, it failed to give a great first impression. - Yuvi

@Akiva Moskovitz: I couldn't agree more. On the bright side, Songbird keeps getting better and better, and has lots of cross platform mozilla-y goodness, with all the play-anything-ness of VLC. - Eric

I'm probably the only person on the planet that doesn't like the Mozilla feel. The ONLY reason why I use Firefox 3 is because of the CS Lite and NoScript plug-ins. Ubiquity's nice, too. Otherwise, I'd be back with Opera in a heartbeat. - Akiva Moskovitz

Um...they do. I've got a feed up on my blog from iTunes. - JMakesAwesomeSauce

+1 Eric. Songbird is now my primary Music Player. - Yuvi

JMS - really? Where do I find it? I've searched... - Steve Isaacs

Looks like an intriguing Mac product, something similar for Windows? - TDavid

as far as I'm aware It's first of it's kind, absolutely simple idea yet no one ever did something about it - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Also, we now import Zooomr favorites, and IntenseDebate should work again (they changed their username scheme). - Paul Buchheit

Thank you. :) - Hao Chen

very good :-) (but ... can't wait when frf has an ability to add an arbitrary service (user-generated catalog of services available)) - Nikolay Samokhvalov

Awesome! - Glenn Slaven

When can we have newsgator clippings support for us non-google reader users? - Glenn Slaven

Still no Skype status though :( - Chris Billman

It's official ... from the big guy himself - Charlie Anzman

nice, but what about other open micro blogging sites using laconica? - igor

Is there a Skype status feed somewhere Chris? - Paul Buchheit

igor, I think we'll figure that out once they get federation working (which is supposed to be soon). - Paul Buchheit

Great. Now I can hide identi.ca feeds without having to hide the blog of the respective user. Thank you. - Lars Trieloff

Great job! - Rutger Blom

what about the facebook status updates? I hope that's coming... - Rahul Das

Nice work with the status, I would like to see DailyMugshot introduced! - Joe Dawson

Great! Just added identi.ca; configuring brightkite too. - Parth Awasthi

Paul, given Identi.ca uses the Twitter API it would be nice if we could respond via Identi.ca in the same way you can with Tweets. I presume implementing it wouldn't be overly hard (where as Plurk of course is another matter) - Duncan Riley

@Rahul FB status would be cool, but there is no public RSS feed. There is a feed, but it requires a key, which would require you to type in your username/password. - Hao Chen

@Duncan +1. i was thinking the same thing - Trent Olson

Quick poll. Who's using Plurk? - Larry Kless

Identi.ca support - fantastic. Thanks. I think the icon looks really great. Sort of mysterious. - Andy C

Any chance of adding Qype for us non-american review writers (aka non-yelpers)? - Liron Tocker

Woohoo! Identi.ca! - ani625

Integrated identi.ca via RSS feed before. OK, now it's there but it's not that big deal to me. - Ansgar Wollnik

Thanks for the identi.ca support ... Excellent work ! - Christian Farley

AWESOME!! Ok, I might be using Identi.ca again!!! Yippee! Thanks FF team!! - Susan Beebe

Why are the updates called Dents, I'll Dent you later :S - Joe Dawson

i love "status-blogging", but i still think that it destroys the flow of my friendfeed - i also blocked every twitter update from everyone here at ff... - Dieter Schwarz

Yay, more services to add to my profile! ;P - Aaron Myers

I am getting ready for Identi.ca Twitter going down the drain! - Igor The Troll

seems like i need to go get my identi.ca id before its taken ... - Raza

Fantabulous ;) - Yung-Hui Lim

yay!! - Sarah Perez

I am all set! Please follow me! http://identi.ca/igorthetroll - Igor The Troll

cool. we can forget the wale...say welcome to the failPhone - Dan V via twhirl

My RogersBlackberry is humming along fine too ;-) - AJ Batac ♘

My updated iPhone (old school) is humming along just fine (I updated it yesterday and had no problems). - Jennifer Dittrich

Right...but its Rogers...and its Blackberry. See? - /(bb|[^b]{2})/ (Kamath)

hey steve if your phone is down, i can let you borrow my samsung ace - it works great, super fast speeds, and an awesome opera mobile browser :) - Allen Stern

Hang out for a while. It finally comes on. I was down for 3 hours trying to update this AM, though - Francine Hardaway via twhirl

Wow. First time I've seen an item with triple digit likes. - Mark Krynsky

me thinks it will go higher by days end ,, as the problems continue , flickr exposure + friendfeed = TRAFFIC ( Viewed 2,049 times ) on flickr - johnpiercy

beauty! i had a 1.0 brick all day - Bob DeAmbra via twhirl

It was created here: http://www.rathergood.com/ (some of the music videos are not children-friendly, fyi). - Rodrigo Jaroszewski

rathergood is awesome - the white strips punk kittens is one of my favorites - mike "glemak" dunn

i don't know why, but i found myself playing this over and over last night. hmm ;/ - Graham Garland

if you look on my page, you can play it there courtesy of joe laz's awesome yahoo! pipes thingie and FF's new ability to handle media enclosures. - edythe

Agree, But I feel the content is greater and easier to post and reply in a room, just less pictures and user sigs +1 for FF rooms! - Tony C.

Agree, Yet w/ a system for adding media and links. - "Czar" DJ Peterman

The feeds are critical part of the rooms feature. - Ontario Emperor

These rooms feel more like "a wall" to me. I like the integration with media and links. - Kathleen Gilroy

I guess you trade the lack of formatting and images for not getting 6 inch high .sigs... even trade? hmm... - felix

Jesus!! - Nick Lewis

An amazing image, I don't think I would have hung around to take a photo though to be honest! - Joe Dawson

That is mental. - David Owens

I believe this is photoshopped image. Check out www.extremeinstability.com for the real thing - Eric Ortega via twhirl

Wow, that is a pretty amazing shot. - Jeremy Kunz via twhirl

reminds me of the hoax photo of the tourist on the world trade center as a plane approaches. http://www.users.bigpond.com/r... - paisano via twhirl

There's no flying debris. The trees aren't leaning to one side in the wind. It's a fake pic. - Dewald Pretorius via twhirl

My first thought was PS. - Russellreno

And what happened to suspension of disbelief? - David Owens

Just did it. Tried not to put too many of my own podcasts in the feed! - Leo Laporte

Awesome idea... I'll upload it later - Mike Wills

J. Phil had trouble w/ the link - Just right-click the podcasts, select export song list , then choose the OPML format and upload to Toluu. Now you don't need it, but here's the link anyway: http://knightknetwork.com/2008... - David Knight

Anyone have a Toluu invite for me? - Mike Wills

just gimme an e-mail and i'll get you one if Caleb doesn't beat me to it - David Knight

I'd like an invite too if anyone has a spare, please... andy at tinkham dot org - Cap'n Andy Tinkham via twhirl

You should have it now, Andy. - Louis Gray

mike (you know this part) podcastmike.com - Mike Wills

Got an invite now. Thanks, Louis! - Cap'n Andy Tinkham via twhirl

incoming Mike - David Knight

Thanks David! - Mike Wills

I think this is super cool. We have always wanted Toluu to be about all types of feeds, not just text feeds. David simply realized he could do this without much support from us at all. We will be adding in an mp3 player to the feed pages so you could play the podcasts right from the feed page soon. - Caleb Elston

If anyone has a spare invite, I'd really appreciate it. - Chantal

Chantal and all others, you need to be invited by e-mail. Post your e-mail here, and either Caleb or I will invite you for sure. - Louis Gray

Ditto what Louis said. - Caleb Elston

Or feel free to follow the link and request one there.. while you're there it might be a great time to try TipJoy for the first time (newly added to friendfeed) ;-) - David Knight

The invite can be sent to melindhra@gmail.com. Thanks! - Chantal

ha. - edythe

Or, the only book they have is an obviously unread copy of "Tropic of Capricorn" on their coffee table, leave immediately; it's just a prop. - Ginger Makela

hee, Ginger. - edythe

Now you tell me. :) - ha3rvey

Funny but true. - Mathew A. Koeneker

Yeah, always check for binding creases and seams. If you're looking at pristine copies of Sun Tzu's Art of War or Mitch Albom's "Five People You Meet in Heaven," that's a magazine reader right there. - Mark Trapp
