Sir, randomly linking to your FriendFeed from one of my posts is oh wait you'll never see this because you're blocked for spamming. Thanks anyway, kaghazrangy.

damn this picture just won't go away - you have forced me to hide it

Akiva, wasn't that pic taken at your last BBQ?

Every time I see this picture I smile. Their joy is infectious, like herpes.

Paul, I surely do wish I had a beach in my back yard!
- Akiva Moskovitz
Sparky, I'm going to have this blown up to poster-size and attaching it to the ceiling above our bed. That'll cause some infections!

I still want to know the motivation here. is this a gay marriage argument? or are we already pushing group social contracts on friendfeed?

oh man this one keeps popping up on ma friendfeed,....must spread virus nao
- Chris Hofmann
I'm surprised no one's noticed old boy's red-framed glasses.
- Akiva Moskovitz
oh right... the glasses are so important when three asian men are licking his nipples and all the comments are by people who think gay marriage has something to do with equality... when it has everything to do with taking protections away from children. the red glass glasses.... um yeah. chicken and Oklahoma with milk

Mark, you have uncovered the dark underbelly of humanity except in this case it isn't dark but is rather a pasty hue somewhere in the vicinity of undercooked flan.

As much as I am loathe to bump this post, I have to do it to say, You, sir, are a master. Well played, sir. Well played. This is why I take every opportunity to say, in my next life, I want to be Akiva. I've already called it! Don't anybody go getting any more ideas.

It's just so refreshing to see genuine juvenile humour at work. These kids are no different from any other, I think it's a great happy image, given all the other shite happening in this world on a daily basis. For those that are too pompous and prudish, 'up yours with brass knobs'

You know, every time this pops up, since FF hides the middle of the comments of which there are 804 or so, I see Akiva say "I'm sorry." at the top. It makes me wonder about how some things are just not possible to apologize for!

the thing that strikes me about this (aside from the obvious) is after seeing this thing pop up like 35-40 times since March its just occurred to me that I don't have any (guy) friends that a) would lick my nipples b) would lick my nipples for a photograph. Maybe I should get out more...

For the life of me, I'll never understand the emotion people have around this picture for or against. There's no nudity at all, not even implied nudity. Less dude nudity than a beer commercial or cigarette ad, yet there are people who really really really hate this picture.

The bumping algorithm includes things like novel people posting to it, in addition to thread age, and rapidity of comments. If the same 3 people are talking in a thread, it quits bumping because it's obviously a closed tea party.

Akiva, now I'm LMAO at the fear of Canada. People are actually afraid of Canada, or just the fact they don't know if they're British or French?
- Jimminy Fuller
I don't think even Canadians know that difference.

On Fark, there was this one thread, that just kept growing and growing. On Fark, it was a single page per thread. And you could post images and gif inline. Well the thread wouldn't die, people just kept posting. I forget which one it was. Anyway, it got so monsterous, that few people going to read/post to it per day (which was only a handfull) accounted for 1/3 of the server load of the site. They eventually had to cull that thread.

Jordan just threatened war of all Arab states if Israel does not agree to negotiate with Abu Mazen. this means that Fatah does not recognize the right of a Jewish state unless it is the unsustainable 1967 border. this means the "2 state" idea does not exist. the PLO is now claiming that Arafat never got the approval from Fatah... let alone Hamas or Hezballah. so as far as logic is...

that day is now. "Israel faces all-out war within 18 months if it does not come to terms with the Arab world and allow the establishment of a new Palestinian state with its capital in Jerusalem, according to Jordan’s King Abdullah II.

these are the followers of http://ff.im/2iksu Haj Amin al-Husseini.

The two-party system is a farce and a disgrace, especially, since both parties are sitting on the same side of the middle, one a bit further to the right than the other. There must be more choice, and choice from a spectrum of sides for a democracy to really represent everyone.

That he would be able to accomplish everything. Two weeks into his presidency, they nominated him for it and said, “oh this is going to be a slam dunk.” Because of the Tea Party goers and the 9-12 Project people that stood in his way and stopped him from accomplishing the things that he thought, “please, I’m the Messiah, I’ll be able to accomplish that.”"

Pardon my saying it but Beck is a fucking moron. He's just pissed because HE wasn't nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
I'm sure the Nobel Committee can come up with a prize for Douchebag of the Year ...
- Rene Wirtz
Beck doesn't realize that Europeans find him and the people who listen to him to be complete and ignorant fools. Of course he knows this, because his viewer base is completely ignorant of that fact as well.
- Rene Wirtz
It should go to the Rush/Beck combo. Did you read Rush Limpball's response to this? Gawd, the neocons are frothing like rabid dogs over this.
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
Yup, I did. It's true what Rachel Maddow said yesterday: after trying to impeach Obama there is nothing left for the fringers to do. Well, other than actually kill him.

OK... so that's a woman, a toddler and 5 kids... yeah I could take them out... Just how to I get the Minifig home.... Hmmmm, damn logistics

Glenn Beck in itself isn't scary, it's the people who believe him and his visibility and influence that are.
- Derrick
When Obama is gone in 2012 (it's possible) because of his inability to get things done, a totalitarian Republican is going to take control of the White House, and then, CW, it will really feel like V for Vendetta thanks to good ole' Glenn Beck!
- Michael Forian
Mind you, Steven, I am being serious. If it does turn out that Obama's a "one term wonder", American voters will be more willing to give Republicans a chance.
- Michael Forian
Okay, can I put a sock in Glenn Beck's mouth? I used to like his radio show because even though I disagreed with him, he was more tolerable than Rush, but lately I've lost a lot of respect towards him. This is coming from a liberally minded person.
- Molly, New Ears :P

Even though China is adding to its gold reserves more and more everyday... and the price of gold is going higher everyday...

Steven, I don't know when to take you seriously anymore... :(
- Michael Forian
I don't pretend to know what the Chinese are doing economically, though I know they're going through a major industrial revolution right now...I also know they own quite a bit of our debt. That being said, I am not one who can speak intelligently to the matter of the Chinese. However, returning to the gold standard *here* is not realistic. There's a some info in wiki -...

Pffft. I take HuffPo with a grain of salt, but I do read it. Knowing that it's very left of center, I retain a critical eye, as with all publications...but quite often there are pieces that are far better thought out than many (if not most) of the swill spouting from the right...and it's *consistently* more accurate than anything we'll find on Faux.

@sean It's a fair point. But i guess, its them walking away with stuff on their plates that makes me think that they're actually eating it...could be wrong though

"This is the most frightening thing I have heard in a very long time: According to a poll conducted by the Daily Kos, which I fervently hope is wrong, 28 percent of Republicans believe that President Obama is not an American citizen. Another 30 percent are undecided. A wider survey to be released tomorrow takes that 58 percent of potential "birthers" nationwide up to nearly 70 in Virginia alone. And this is not in dispute: Ten Republican congressmen have now signed on to a bill demanding that Obama prove his citizenship."
- Anthony Citrano
from Bookmarklet
President Obama has proven his citizenship. It was verified before he was elected. Why do people keep bringing all this nonsense up? Obama inherited so many problems, Bush left this country in a mess. We all need to stop this finger pointing and work together!
- Allison A .Alford
Wow, if you're going to do a "joker" spoof, do it well. This one's sloppy.
- Michael Forian
Obama could end the debate about his citizenship by simply releasing his original birth certificate. So, who is to blame for the controversy? John McCain had to prove his citizenship before congress, Barack Obama was "vouched" for only by Nancy Pelosi.
- David C. Cooper
I'm not a "birther", but to put a rest to the matter, why doesn't he just release it?
- Michael Forian
It doesn't matter how many times his birth certificate is posted, attested to by the state of Hawaii, examined, or verified; the birthers will continue to claim he is foreign because, to them, he is. He is a well-educated black man, which makes him as foreign to the ignoramuses (some portion of whom aren't even sure if Hawaii is a state) as if he had tentacles or spoke Klingon as his natve language.

"Pres. Obama holds his OWN town hall in New Hampshire this Tuesday where the issues of the economy and health care are likely to be the dominant issues. Of course, what many will be watching is to see if this town hall invites the same passion as we've witnessed at town halls for members of Congress this last week. I suspect we'll see some interesting back-n-forths both in the town hall itself and outside the venue. First, New Hampshire (and New England in general) arguably invented the entire town hall meeting concept so Granite Staters take these forums VERY seriously. And as much as some might want to believe the White House will be staging the questions, don't believe that hype. The White House knows the political price for being caught doing that is MUCH higher than having to deal with a confrontation or two at the meeting itself. If anything, I'd bet some inside the White House are hoping for a confrontation since they believe the president's demeanor alone will politically play well with the folks the White House cares most about right now, ACTUAL independents."

Steven, you're 100% right. Town halls are for concerned adults who have an interest in the well-being of there country. But when leftist groups are purposely not letting their right wind brethren into the meetings, no wonder they break out in anger! They're enraged! Maybe we would see less of this if everyone could stop denying access to opponents of Obamacare! And if "space" is a problem, they should make room to accommodate the people!
- Michael Forian
BZZT! Sorry, Michael. Every video I've seen of the "protests" shows teabaggers well inside the hall and yelling and screaming their fool heads off well ahead of the part when security ushers their keisters out the door. Really, dude, your TV does pick up other channels other than Fox.

FriendFeed has been almost completely blocked in Iran as far as we can tell. We have a large number of very active Iranian users, and we noticed a steep decline in activity yesterday. Graph below.
این نمودار نشاندهنده افت فرندفید به دلیل بسته شدن آن در ایران است
- Mycaptain
Bret: Is this based on IP numbers located in Iran, or actual activity from those users? If it's IP based, it'd be interesting to see the activity on a user basis and see if they've been able to route around the blocking.
- Ken Sheppardson
If Twitter were blocked and FriendFeed weren't, I'd expect an uptick in FriendFeed activity, not a 92% drop.
- Kevin Fox
I.e. given all the users who've previously accessed the site from an Iran IP number, how many have been active from different numbers in the past 2 days.
- Ken Sheppardson
Instead of "liking" this, shouldn't we have an "unlike" button?
- Steven Melfi
:( Bret: According to Stephen fry, these are the iran proxies: 218.128.112.18:8080 218.206.94.132:808 218.253.65.99:808 219.50.16.70:8080 . Can you track these IPs?
- Roberto Bonini
I knew this day was coming. Too bad.
- Robert Scoble
Steven - same feeling here. I always feel weird "liking" bad stories on FF
- Mike Bracco
How does traffic from China look? Or North Korea?

Hopefully, we'll never see a graph like this for Turkey...
- Onur Şentüre
that's because the government has blocked access to friendfeed,twitter,facebook,youtube and ... after election and after protests in Iran cities !
- Farshad
Man... :( That's really a corrupt government. Hope it gets better soon.
- Peter
Kheyzaran mentioned over the weekend that both Twitter and FF were blocked for Iran starting I believe on Friday. He is using a proxy when possible to keep us updated
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Bret, any analysis about how many people unable to access FF directly are still able to access it via proxy?
- Daniel Dulitz
Daniel: Well, we are still getting a bunch of Farsi comments and posts. They may be Persians from outside Iran or from Iranians using proxies. We don't have a detailed analysis breaking those down at this point.
- Bret Taylor
Watching the "guerrilla cyberwarfare" aspect of the elections and reactions has been fascinating. Iran's universities are obviously full of resourceful, passionate geeks.
- John Craft
this is really bad. i hope there's some resolution to this. the people or iran have shown a lot of strength and courage to protest the illegitimacy of recent events. i don't think this will stop things

If Iran thinks they have nothing to fear, then why block Friendfeed?
- Frode Stenstrøm
Frode: because the government is like China: they believe that by retarding the flow of information they will reduce the threat of protests and governmental overthrow.
- Robert Scoble
Very reminiscent of the prelude to the fall of the Shah
- Alan Morris
I don't speak Persian, so I don't know all the searches, but there are still (luckily) a lot of Persian users posting: http://friendfeed.com/search.... If you are Persian and looking for updates, try our search engine to find the few users who still have access.
- Bret Taylor
Frode: and in Iran's case, they are run by conservative religious authorities and they don't like the fact that they are not in control of information flow like they used to be. They like to think they can still control information sources and, since they can't, they try to block places where their citizens can go to share information.
- Robert Scoble
is it a joke? iranian users seems the %90 of friend feed. it could not be real!
- Fırat DEMİREL
Firat: There are no units on the vertical axis of the chart.
- Ken Sheppardson
Firat: This is a chart of traffic from Iran, not of FF's total traffic.
- Kevin Fox
Firat, i doubt that this graph is a percentage graph... probably more likely that it's measuring hits, sessions, or total data transfered (mb, kb, etc)
- Chris Heath
Kevin: what impact did this have on FF's overall traffic?
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Iran is the #6 country for FriendFeed in terms of page views per day.
- Bret Taylor
Thanks all for answers. i told that it could not be real.. :) excuse me, i ve just read Bret's notice and looked at breaking point. i saw what i've missed before.. bad news for ff and iran.. :(
- Fırat DEMİREL
These statistics are incredible, especially the normally heavy useage of FF in Iran.
- Curt Mercadante
Bret Taylor, we can tag our pix and vids about iran election by an english keyword such as 'iran' or 'iranelection'. I think it will help to ff non-persian users to find out more about unrests in iran.

Iran restored cell phone service Sunday that had been down in the capital since Saturday. But Iranians still could not send text messages from their mobile phones, and the government increased its Internet filtering in an apparent attempt to undercut opposition voices. Social networking sites including Facebook and Twitter were also not working.

Authorities blocking the internet are just reinforcing solidarity between people, can't they understand ?
- Stanislas Jourdan
Stanislas: not to mention they encourage their smartest and richest people to leave (the ones who have technical skills). There's a reason why Silicon Valley has 10,000 or more Iranians living here. Their government sucks and the people are getting tired of it. Of course if their government was great I would never have met my wife (who grew up in Tehran). So, there is good to come out of a crappy government! :-)
- Robert Scoble
it has always seemed to me that the iranian user base is ENORMOUS here. wow. unbelievable.
- edythe
It is interesting how much civil unrest that is brewing across the globe towards their governments. The knee jerk reactions in attempting to block certain websites shows how much they didn't expect the net to become such a widespread conduit for cutting through the bs and informing those that wish to know. I wish those who take a stand all the best.
- alphaxion
Another way for those that are in Iran is to access through Netvibes (but I don't know if it works or if it's blocked too), adding Friendfeed, Gmail and so on such as modules

If anybody in Iran feels up to it, can you temporarily disable your proxy and run a traceroute to friendfeed.com and twitter.com then post the results here?

Come to think of it, does FF have a presence in China? I'd imagine it's blocked there. I've seen Chinese on here, but never sure if that's from China or speakers outside.

Yes, Friendfeed is blocked in Iran. Right now the papers and TV channels here are controlled by the government and our access to satellite channels is blocked too. Friendfeed and Twitter are quite vital for us now. Our main source of exchanging information and news is Friendfeed. Via Friendfeed we let everyone know that where people need help and where to go and how to help them and...

Nope, they have blocked all https addresses, we have had to sign in to Friendfeed via anti-filters for the past few months.

The Iranian websites that people used to exchange information about the election protests in Iran are under cyber-attacks by the government forces and from anonymous sources. Many of them are down right now. These Iranian websites were our few last remaining channels to inform people. What can we do about that? Is there anyone out there who can help us with this?
- emin
i was 53rd active user in friendfeed until this filtering. now i can open FF with proxies and if i can fine. a Vpn but many Vpn here come from companies that have relations with security services, i thunk they allow us to bypass filternig and then, they will arrest who has wrote against their goals
- خیزران kheyzaran
Can't we transfer the data/databases of the sites you, iranian guys, use to any new domain we could buy? I want to help. Not by throwing rocks to "security service" forces, but, at least, by making possible for what YOU have to say to go public, worldwide.
