I am trying to create a twitter list but it won't let me. Anyone else run into this issue? I sent Twitter a message but no response. Any ideas how to fix this?
So last night I fell in love with Voice Chat over gchat. Tonight I want to meet and fall in love with voice chat with three people over gchat. How can I get that to work?
Um, don't? OK, fine: Bootcamp first, then use the Bootcamp volume for the VM.

When you say Bootcamp volume for the VM what do you mean exactly?
- Amani
Once you install Bootcamp and put XP on it, you have a real XP volume (turning your Mac into a hardware PC essentially) that the virtualization software can use rather than creating a new one. The advantage is that you can boot into a full-fledged non-virtualized XP environment if you want to.

"I have a challenge to everyone on the DonationCoder.com forum, and everyone who reads this, for the new year. The challenge is simple: Donate something to someone who is creating content you like on the web. This can be someone making music, art, software, whatever. Just find someone who is asking for optional donations for their work, and send them some money. If you can't afford to send any money, then at least send them an email, tell them how you appreciate their work. I think it's way past overdue time for us to begin to shift our thinking from paying only when we are forced to, and expecting everything to be free (and financed through ads or scams, or whatever). So find someone who creating content and making it available for free, and surprise and thrill them with a contribution and an email telling them to keep up the good work."

I am willing to make a similar deskbar for any forum or website that could benefit from it, but I do not know how much to charge for it. For forums I'd like to be fair about it and maybe on a sliding scale according to how many members they currently have. I don't think a forum with less than 100 members should have to pay as much as one with 100,000 members. For large blogs and websites, I don't know how much to charge, but again, I'd want it to be less than a newer site with less traffic and page views. I'd like the pricing to be fair to everyone that would want one. So, if a little guy hoping to become big some day decides to get a deskbar early on, it would be a bargain in the long run. There is no spyware in it, no crap, I am an ethical gal that doesn't believe in that stuff. The only tracking in it is an extra parameter added to the search URL to aid in gathering statistical data on usage, identifying that a search was done with the deskar, rather than with some other software...

This is why I don't make very much from my coding...because I really don't know what to charge.

Does anyone on friendfeed have any experience with pricing this type of custom work?

nope, when I connect with other computers it is like around 13. Call Apple on a Sunday night? hmmm ...

wired isn't an option because this computer is all the way in a different section of the house.

I have experienced the same thing when I first got my iMac and it was because of an incompatible modem. I called the Apple support and their first advice was to connect with the ethernet port or else you need the drivers for your modem which in my cases weren't avaliable.
- Meyra
so the drivers for my modem that is connected to my router? what did u end up doing?
- Amani

I just used the ethernet connection. What's your modem model? You can google if it has issues.

Is anyone fluent in Italian that wants to volunteer to translate a readme.txt for a small freeware project? It's seriously needed. - http://appsapps.info/lacunal...
There are a gazillion blog posts with instructions and reviews in Italian for this application, but all of them are missing out on some of the most important features of the software, because I don't have a readme in Italian.

@Rob - flattered you'd think of me. @April - one of the real geeks from Italy on FriendFeed might be able to do a better job than me ;)
- Valeria Maltoni
Thats a wee bit beyond me. I can speak, but not write, Itallian. But Google translate does a good job of it.
- Roberto Bonini
I would prefer not to have my documentation in the Italian equivalent to Engrish if possible. Inaccurate translations can cause confusion, especially to non-techies. That's why all the various translations I have were done by human volunteers. (directeur was kind enough to do the French one for me)

I have to set up a home office. Anyone on here have some good tips for me? I am debating removing the queen bed from my guest room and adding a daybed. Then trying to figure out what kind of desk to get. Probably want one I can git my laptop, 21" monitor and maybe a 27" iMac too. but is some small space. I could also use the closet in the room as well. Any ideas are welcome!
- Amani
I bought something similar to this a few months ago: http://www.amazon.com/Small-C... Major difference between the one I bought and the one on that page is mine was only $20. I have 2 PC's on it, with one keyboard/mouse/monitor, and using a KVM switch. It's very compact and takes up very little space. You might even be able to use 2 or 3 of them.

20 years ago, I had an IBM 5550, and it had such program. You know it's my *childhood toy*, now I recreated it in JS + HTML5 canvas <http://blog.yjl.im/2010...> in order to find out what it was. You probably need to be old enough to help me... any information would be greatly appreciated.

So I have found out I will be working from home soon. Does anyone have any advice for me about setting up my home office? I have a small 120 foot area that will work for my office. I already have a flatscreen TV on one wall. How should I set it up?? Help me ... Thanks.
If you were going to use a service for a group collaboration project that could go on for months, which service would you use. 1) Friendfreed private groups 2) Google Wave 3) Google Groups 4) Evernote 5) Other insert name here. Goal is to share things,spark conversation & also use as a curation model and search effectively over past shared items.
Honestly? I would buy a cheap domain, set up a free Google Apps for Domains account for the project, give everyone on the team an account. Instant email, docs (which will store any type of file now), calendar, chat, and a bunch of other collaboration tools. They finally added Buzz and I think you might be able to use Wave too. I've used Google Apps on a couple of projects now and it works pretty well. If you have code to store, Beanstalk (http://beanstalkapp.com/) works pretty well.
- Lindsay
Definitely Wave because, even if it doesn't cover all the bases, it still gives you the ability to link to other stuff, embed some media, and act as a realtime central rallying point.
- Rahsheen?
a posterous group blog .. depending on the amount of conversation you could curate there (via email, bookmarklet) and feed it to a friendfeed group for discussion.
- Chris Myles
I am going to have to check out some of these new services. I am still partial to combining Wave and Google Apps b/c the team I am working with is very familiar with Google Apps and I don't want to confuse them. Also heard some stuff about Manymoon which ties into Google Apps as well I think.

Ok, im in a bad situation, my unemployment is temporarily disabled, I need some help brainstorming on how to get some food and pay my rent, is there any services or good places to ask for help? http://helpkyleweller.blogspot.com/ for more info
For food, hit the local churches in your neighborhood. Many of them run a food pantry for people in need. Also apply for Food Stamps. Some states allow you to apply online: http://www.fns.usda.gov/fsp... As far as cash goes to help you pay your rent, that really depends on what state you live in. Some states have non-profit homelessness prevention...

If you were trying to ship off 4 tires from LA to Toronto, Ontario, which service would you use? I am remembering a UPS commercial where they picked up the tires from the house. Any suggestions?
I'm using both TalkShoe and Posterous, interestingly. The former has essentially unlimited free storage and doesn't require said shows be done live.

does Talkshoe allow you to sync your show/podcast with itunes?

You know, some us us have been asking Microsoft for a couple of years to get on with supporting SFTP or SCP. I'm not sure why they haven't listened, yet. I guess they don't take enough hits over security concerns.

? - Can anyone tell me why the search results in Google vs Bing are completely different? My websites show up in Google search, but not in Bing search. Why is there a difference? I'm completely confused by the differences.
Most likely the way Google and Bing indexes and ranks your webpage is different - not sure what kind of algorithm bing uses but google uses a modified page rank algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... that has been tweaked over the years
- Wang Yip
Thank you so much for this info!! I'm really clueless on these things!
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
Another question - should I worry about not showing up in Bing? Does it matter?
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
Also, the results in google search seem to change more rapidly now. Since I'm clueless, there's no rhyme or reason to it. About 6 months ago or more, I pretty much dominated the first couple of pages in search results. Now there's a lot more competition and I've dropped down considerably even though I'm the most active person in the business as far as using social media.
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
They will NEVER provide the same results...if they did, we would only need one. ;o)

Anybody know anything about MerchantCircle.com? I'm having some confusion and uncertainty about how that company deals with their member accounts. I'd like Feedback & chat with someone other than a company Rep.
I wish I can help you - I don't even know what it is. Anyone else?
- Mona Nomura
They offer I guess an online presence for businesses where a business can have a website, offer coupons and such. They have "free" account options but it doesn't seem to be really "free" if that makes sense..
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
However, it's catching my attention because I'm noticing how a few people who are NOT active online in social media (like twitter, friendfeed, etc.) but only have a MerchantCircle website and one person in particular is ranked #1 in Google search results. So, I'm confused...
