Tokyo is the city I most want to visit above all others, but it's so far and so expensive I wonder when it will ever happen. :(
I hear ya, bub. I'd love to take a tour of the entirety of SE Asia, really. - Steven Perez
Me too. For now it's as Robin says "Konichiwa bitches" - Dana D
Tokyo is also my number one dream destination... Some sort of strange fascination with Japan. - Vincent X
you would not leave!! i got a rt ticket to tokyo for $400 from this place http://iace-usa.com/ - Lauren P
If you want old Japan - Tokyo will not have it, US bombed it away in WWII. I was there in 2005 and saw Kobe, Osaka and Nara and the Himeji castle - well worth seeing the non-bombed areas that have the ancient buildings. Also stayed in a bed and breakfast with rice paper walls, building was 600 years old and a bamboo forest on the grounds :) - Janet
i would like to visit tokyo as well someday. - (jeff)isageek
Steve Isaacs
Me too. Would like more full songs. - Larry Kless
Just started using it a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
Last.fm keeps me sane at work. I've also found awesome music through it. - Candace
I've been using it for over three years and love it! - Martin Bryant
Josh, totally. Though I still have Last.fm (no comments or likes) hidden. Might have to change that up. - Steve Isaacs
I love watching the songs trickle down my feed. I don't even have to click on any of them, because the music instantly starts in my head. I end up typing lyrics to the ones I know, which doesn't make any sense, yet I feel compelled. *sigh* Music owns me. - Josh Haley
Some folks do go a bit nuts on the likes on last.fm, but the FF post is usually very brief. Helps remind me of music I'd like to hear again from time to time. So, mine are not hidden. - Kenley Neufeld
me three or 10...Though I do not utilize it as well and I should. - Anna Lynn M.
last.fm here as well - (jeff)isageek
haha! - Lauren P
when i started using it back in march, i hated it and ran back to pandora's arms. now, when i'm working i much prefer last.fm, but still for new music/artists, pandora's got that on lockdown. - Anika
Deep Focus
An Open Letter to God from Michael Moore - http://blog.steveisaacs.com/post...
LOLOLOLOLOL holy crap...michael moore just went up in my book...i might have to re post this. - Lauren P

I don't get why people have private feeds. Always a turnoff for subscribing. Can't imagine that they are getting the full FriendFeed experience.
I absolutely agree Steve! - Kyle Lacy
Ditto... Seems like a fairly one sided conversation. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
There are private feeds? Illuminate me please. - Kevykev
Yeah, I don't get it. I would love to know their reasons. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
What I can't figure out is those with private feeds who subscribe to you and then won't let you subscribe to their feed. What's that about? -
I don't understand it, either. I used to wonder the same thing about twitter until someone told me they made their feed private because of their employer. Maybe that's why some people do it on FF, too. - Trish R
Some people only want to listen/read about what others are saying and/or aggregate for their own private archive. - Shey, Jamaican of FF
I would guess that they plan to use FF only to communicate with family and IRL friends, much as some people use twitter or Facebook or Myspace. I don't see anything wrong with that, it's just not what I use FF for. - Laura Norvig
I guess that makes sense. They can still have two-way communication w/o sharing their own feed. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Makes sense Laura. Didn't think of that because none of my real life friends is very tech savvy or interested in social networking. -
hating private feeds:( - Igor Poltavskiy
yeah soo true :( - Jay
Because they are doucheasses - €€€€€€€€
Outsanity, wouldn't that make them enimas? - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
It's like the safety on a gun, those with private feeds just have their safety on most of the time. Watch out when they come gunnin' for ya though. - Pete Delucchi
That would be an "ass douche" - €€€€€€€€
I had a private feed for alittle while but that was cause I was trying to get rid of some one from viewing my feed. They are gone now so I reopened my feed about a month ago. - Colide81 (James)
you def wouldn't get the whole experience...but i get how some folks are freaked out by the whole SNing thing...some need to be eased in...experience positive benefits first...i remember how scared i was when i first started blogging! - Lauren P

I need good study music! Any suggestions?
I never cared much for Jazz my whole life until this year. Now I usually have the Pandora Miles Davis station on while working. Very nice think music. - Steve Isaacs
Ladysmith Black Mambazo - Johnny Worthington
I really like Bill Evans - Live at the Village Vanguard for working/studying. It's jazz. - Aaron Hood
what exactly about music are you studying? accidentals? Chords? harmony? - Maria
thanks guys! i am from new orleans, so i love jazz! but i like all kinds of music...i just started a masters so i am reading and writing all of the time....so i guess i need music...that doesn't make me want to sing along and break focus...been listening to lot of radiohead, dylan, sigur ros here's my last.fm prof http://www.last.fm/user... - Lauren P

What is your favorite place on Earth?
I haven't seen nearly as much of the world as I'd like to, but so far my favorite place on Earth is Maui, Hawaii. - Steve Isaacs
grand central terminal - Allen Stern
Port Douglas, Australia - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
any place it is autumn - RAPatton
So far, Amsterdam - there was definitely a harmony amongst the population. If only I could pick up languages easier.... - Peter Ghosh
Walt Disney World :) And this lighthouse I used to visit on the shores of Lake Erie in Sandusky, Ohio. - Mike Reynolds
The Mayan Temples in Tikal, Guatemala - Andrew Baron
New Orleans, Louisiana - Mattie Kenny
Honestly, there's one place i'll never forget which made me feel calmer than I ever have before. It was on an empty beach in Boroqay in the Phillipines. My word, what a beautiful experience it was... - Zee.
I haven't traveled much (yet), but I fell in love with California when I was there last summer. - Vincent X
Little Plains Beach, Southampton NY, 11968 - Noah Carter
Montego Bay, Jamaica - Anika
Oh come on RAPatton, where exactly? - Steve Isaacs
New Hampshire. It just feels right to be here, corny as that sounds.... - Joanmarie
Lake City, Florida. - ComicList
Letchworth State Park is beautiful so is the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. The Horseshoe is spectacular. - Mol, Time Warping
Carmel, CA. Tower Bridge, London is a close second. - dkb
Priest River, Idaho - Kyle Lacy
A small island I have yet to identify, on lake Saimaa, Finland - Vicky
At the moment Key West, but I've yet to see New Zealand and/or Australia - Timothy Griffin
Turks and caicos islands in the Caribbean - Morgan from fftogo
negril, Jamaica. Or in bed snuggling with someone who loves me. but Jamaica's the better bet - Negril never disappoints ;) - The Archangel ωαřмaiden
With friends, family, my dogs or on the internet. - ·[▪_▪]·
Lanikai, Oahu, Hawaii - Josh Haley from fftogo
Either Manchester, England or Tokyo, Japan. - Martin Bryant
Byron Bay, New South Wales - Duncan Riley
Colorado ... and New Orleans. - Brandon
Wherever my wife and daughter are. - AJ Kohn
Uninhabited island I spent a day hiking on in the Beagle Channel, Ushuaia, Argentina. - Ayşe E.
So far, the Brooks Range in Alaska...with my husband and dogs. -
I don't know about favorite, but, I really loved the French Quarter in New Orleans. The other spot was Santa Rosa Beach (Pensacola), Florida, I think. The sand and water were so beautiful. - Yolanda
Hard to pick a favorite, but Lugano, Switzerland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) is on the short list. The whole place is Swiss tidy, but Italian laid-back... and very beautiful. Hills and palm trees and lakes. It's like the Artist's Conception in the marketing brochure for Planet Earth. Or possibly some other planet -- I think that part of the world is where George Lucas shot footage of the "lake country" on the planet Naboo. - Karim
Shoal Bay East, Anguilla. Right in front of Selma's restaurant. - tiffany
Santorini...with my wife...living off of bread and butter - Tim Wright
In bed with a beautiful naked girl. - Eric P
Anywhere my Zesty is ;-) - Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
Negril, Jamaica - Shey, Jamaican of FF
Noosa National Park Queensland Australia - Kate Foy
it's always changing..but today, reykjavík - Lauren P

Liked for Mona's comment ... heh - Charlie Anzman
Melbourne, Australia ... Sydney is waay too noisy :s - Jay
127.0.0.1 - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
Tamarindo, Costa Rica - Robert Briggs
Anywhere back home where my friends are. And Los Angeles, the Griffith Park observatory in particular. - ::Kristen::
Mona - Are you just pulling the iPhone Twitter location? Is that an IP? BTW - I LOVE all the responses. Interesting to note that there are VERY few repeat answers... a few New Orleans votes, tho.. :) - Steve Isaacs
anywhere with you! but particularly anywhere on the mediterranean or in waianapanapa, or in a field of sunflowers in france, on the amalfi coast, or montreal ;), or in a piazza in poland, or just somewhere like on a boat in the middle of the florida straits. - Melissa Maskevich
In my limited travels I have yet to find my favorite place on earth. I have been to Negril Jamaica and it is nice. Btw an IP to Geo conversion tells us Mona's is San Francisco. - Mark Krynsky
Italy...anywhere close to the insanely gorgeous coastlines. On our side of the world, Twin Peaks in San Fran on a clear night, and the unbelievably green forests in Eastern Oregon, I've never felt more in love with nature than when I was in those forests... - Amber Horner
home (sleeep!) - Susan Beebe
Norbs
what the heck in bat macumba day?! - Lauren P
Steve Isaacs
YouTube comments are almost - yet not quite as - disturbingly idiotic as MySpace comments. A real close second, though.
I miss the filthy, dirty, idiotic, nonsense on 4chan. - Pete Delucchi
i might have to side with youtube being the more idiotic...tough call, though - Lauren P
For truly disturbing, check out yahoo answers .... - Moved to Facebook
Penis. - B. Hatin
Alex Scoble
I don't get like.fm/last.fm. I just want it to take a song and start playing stuff based on that. I don't want to create a library or choose stuff to listen to. So I play with it for 5 minutes and then switch back to Pandora and think "much better."
Plus like.fm only plays snippets of some of my favorite songs. I just don't find their site usable coming from the Pandora paradigm. - Alex Scoble
One hand hand, if I need to hear a particular song, that's a good place. On the other, you heard that song and then it stops. Not so great. So, I end up going back to Pandora as well. - Yolanda
I use last.fm more for its database component. I like having data of my listening habits out in the cloud that I can pull down, remix and trend. I find it fascinating. - Brooks Bishop
I've not used Like.fm, but when I play Last.fm I know it's going to play music I like. When Pandora WAS available here in the UK, it would play a couple of song I liked, then go off on some strange tangent of music I had never heard of. I always felt it's catalogue was extremely small and US-centric. - Chris Nixon
Same here . . . Pandora > Last.fm - Lindsey is Fierce!
Chris- as far as I can tell like.fm and last.fm are the same thing, just different pointers to the same site. - Alex Scoble
The two are fundementaly different in that regard: Last.fm recommends based on what is in your library, eg what you've played already, whereas Pandora is all about a simple seed and it then does all work. BUT... guess what? Last.fm can do that too. http://www.last.fm/home type in an artist, genre/tag, or username and get all sorts of options for it play stuff for you without any work at all. - Michael W. May
Alex, you need to pay the $3 and download their software. As a subscriber you get to create your own personalized streaming radio stations just like Pandora, or you can listen to your friends Radio streams based on the songs they listen to. But if you're not a paid subscriber it doesn't function much more than a database with snippets of the music you and your friends are listening to. This is probably why they're not in the same boat with the RIAA as Pandora. - Adam Turetzky
Question is how does the software do the streaming? If it streams using anything other than HTTP over port 80 then I can't use it at work. The site at least is doing that, but not sure about the software. - Alex Scoble
I agree. I have tried it multiple times, but find last.fm cryptic and annoying. Haven't tried since the recent redesign, but I do love Pandora. - Steve Isaacs
I've been playing around with blip.fm - http://blip.fm/nicefishfilms you can create a playlist and let it stream through the songs you've put in there. Like it so far. - michael sean wright
http://pandorafm.real-ity.com/login... <--- best of both worlds, Pandora's station-creation quality filtered into Last.fm's listening habits database. - Rob H.
last.fm's algorithm works way better for my taste...you don't have to make playlists or choose to stuff to listen to...all you have to do is enter a song, and it will create a station for you based on that song..of course, the more you use features, the stronger your musical profile becomes --> thus the music it feeds is more likely to suit. i agree that the interface can be annoying. the recent redesign is a pretty big improvement! - Lauren P

Starbucks time: vote LATTE or AMERICANO.
latte - Morgan
neither, Starbucks sucks. - alanoakes
Latte. Always better. - Brandon Titus
Neither, doppio machiato - Sally Church from fftogo
I agree with alanoakes: find better coffee. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
frappacino or nothing - Francine Hardaway from twhirl
Those are so different it depends on your mood. Only you can choose. For me, Americanos if I am in a hurry and don't have time to steam milk. I've never bought one from Starbucks - Mattb4rd
java chippp please - Erhan Erdogan
Starbucks. Yuck. - Chantal
Latte. No contest. - Adam from twhirl
If it's Starbucks, all the fru-fru in the latte might hide the cheap, over-roasted coffee taste. - Chris Baskind
latte - Doug from twhirl
Peets. - AJ Kohn
Peets! :-) - Chris Baskind
americano with a little milk! - Lauren P
BLACK all the way! - Vincent van Wylick
Green Tea Matcha Latte - Sam Allan
iced upside down carmel macchiato - Walt Ruppar

What’s up with Oreo Cookies? Is it their chocolate wafer that doesn’t even taste like chocolate? Is it their vanilla filling that just tastes like sugar? I don’t know, but what I know is that when you eat an oreo cookie they taste like… well, they taste like Oreo… I think what’s up with them is that they’ve created the a new flavour: the oreo flavour! And let’s face it, oreo flavour tastes good! - Mahdi Ebrahimi from Bookmarklet

When I was younger, I always used to look for "the short cut". Now I realize that doing things "the long way" IS the short cut.
My mother-in-law has this saying that basically says 'The lazy work twice'. So true. - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
My mom has a saying too. "The lazy don't work and I have to pick up their slack so we don't get fired." - Nine
Of course it's *hard* ... it's a shortcut, if it was easy, it would just be 'the way' - Bren, Photophobe
mullets are definetly out ,, though ... - johnpiercy
Yes! And most of the mistakes are behind you. Pretty Great! - Mike Cornell
word! - Lauren P
If it gets done mindlessly more than twice I automate it. That's a short cut. ;) - xero

If John McCain is elected in November, I'm moving to Canada, and I plan on sleeping on Susan Sarandon's couch while Tim Robbins, Alec Baldwin and I start a punk band.
I call dibs on the spot under the coffee table. Seriously... I've already started looking for jobs in Canada just in case. - Nine
You may want to reconsider -- we have our own idiot up here - Brian Sullivan
I'm only half kidding. I really love Canada. - Steve Isaacs
OK. I'll share rooms with Arianna Huffington. Who gets the task of bunking with Olbermann & his Easter Island-like head? - Peter Ghosh
I really doubt McCain can win. - Bill Sodeman
I don't blame you, but as Brian stated, we have Bush's butt buddy up here. - Michael Forian
lol i would do the same! - Dieter Schwarz
I doubt McCain can win either. And when Obama wins, I won't whine or make false promises to move out of the country, even though he's a slightly worse choice than McCain. - ComicList from fftogo
Better yet, lets start a Rock Band punk band. - Mathew™ one of a kind
Aden: "The Democraps". - Steve Isaacs
LOL!! - Brad Nickel
More band names: "The Donkey Show", "Chad is Not Just a Country in Africa", "McCain Ain't Able", "Blewstate". - Steve Isaacs
It's a long way to November, but I think Obama will manage an electioral victory. Not that Canada isn't a fine country. - Chris Baskind
Make it a rap group w/ a leader named OSB - Ol' Senile Bastard - Peter Ghosh
hahaha! - Anna Haro
I'm headed in the other direction. Cabo San Lucas is always nice in the winter. - Steven Perez
@Brian, our idiots are better idots then their idiots eh ?? LOL - Peter Dawson
Yeah probably - we have middle of the road polite idiots and theirs are flaming idiots -- wait is polite really better? - Brian Sullivan
@Brian, at least polite shows "class" :)- - Peter Dawson
Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins said the same thing 4 years ago and they're still here. - Trish R
Jane Says,"Idiots Rule!" - Mark Forman
The Canada move has crossed my mind a number of times over the past few years. Seriously. Nova Scotia is nice and not too far away (I'm in NH). And Canadians don't seem to make a habit out of invading other countries. *shrugs* - Joanmarie
+ MOAR BACON! - Michael Forian
Well if Barack Obama is elected I'm moving to Canada. - Jim Williams
Jim, please let us know where we can forward your mail. :) - R. Ferguson
To those who think McCain will lose no he won't we just must mobilize and explain how wrong Obama would be. - Cecil Sandus
Looks like we get new citizens no matter who wins in November. Don't forget, mortgages are not tax deductible here -- but lottery winnings are tax free. Sweet deal eh? - David Muir
McCain will win after everyone figures out that Obama is a socialist. - Barbara Davis
I don't really want Obama or McCain to win, so where does that leave me? But I think it will be interesting to see who Obama really is and we won't know that until/if he gets elected. He's kind of like a chameleon. -
i dont care who wins, as long as we get full frontal nudity at some point. - Red Lantern Satan-Rage!
if John McCain wins, you can all move in with me! - Lauren P
Canada really rocks. I love living here. Toronto is sweet since your into big cities. - Keke
I would never move to Canada. I heard the toilets flush the opposite way, that would just freak me out. Also, their houses have no doors. It's true. - Pete Delucchi
I'm all aboot Canada. Soory if you don't appreciate it, eh? - Steve Isaacs
