Re: The biggest difference between Twitter and Facebook - http://scobleizer.com/2009...
"I think you're being a bit misleading. In either the FB News Feed or Live Feed I only see *original* posts from my friends. I do see comments by their friends, which is kind of the point of social networking: discovering new people. For me, scrolling past the comments isn't a big deal, and is preferred over Twitter where you only catch pieces of conversations."

Greg: really? Ever hear of an iPhone? I can have a photo to you in minutes.

- Greg Rose
That said, I have videos from the party I still haven't uploaded.
- Robert Scoble
I dont like the way Arrington has been treating you lately, Robert. I'm on the verge of boycotting TechCrunch on your behalf. It seems he is trying to make you into a joke.
- Stuart Tracte
Mostly because the YouTube upload feature on the iPhone doesn't work.

Don't boycott TC on his behalf! It's a wonderful website

Stuart: I appreciate that. If he is successful into making me into a joke it's because I deserved it.

Perhaps you should offer techcrunch a spot on your SUL, Robert. Surely that will give you priority treatment.
- Tyler Hurst

You think? We are all allowed to have a debaucherous time and have incriminating photos taken... its just quite trollish the way they were published
- Stuart Tracte
Well it was a quiet news day yesterday, Arrington no doubt wanted to stir something up for something to do

Tyler: I'm already following Arrington because he earns a spot there every day.

Guys, it was funny. It was a really fun party... no harm, no foul. The pictures were posed for, taken and giggled over... it isn't a big deal at all. Not sure why anyone really gives a shit.

Jamie: what you said. People love being entertained and we were certainly entertaining on Saturday night.
- Robert Scoble
@mark I know... TechCrunch is at the top of my RSS feed, but I just dont understand why anyone has to throw Scoble under the bus.. we all make mistakes, say things from the heart before the head, and should not be dragged through the mud, especially when good intentions are the impetus for our actions

- Jamie Klingler
Robert, London just seems like a fun place to live. Are all the women that beautiful like I saw in the pics? I think I may have to make a move. I want to be a part of that!
- Stephen Pickering
Stephen: London is a lot of fun and the people there are beautiful, indeed. But aren't they everywhere?
- Robert Scoble
Yes, but do you notice a certain type of "less uptightness" and more exuberance there versus the U.S.? It seems a cultural thing there of more acceptance less judgemental, cliqueishness
- Stephen Pickering
Stephen: I don't know, get people partying together and they all seem to get along. Just visit SXSW and see that.
- Robert Scoble
OK, will do! :-)
- Stephen Pickering
Maybe pictures of a party aren't really newsworthy? Party pics often seem to be the domain of Facebook or personal blogs. It's great to see people having fun, but it might not be in TC's wheehouse.

Paul - did you fix the word wrap issue for comments? e.g. on my blog comments cascade across the column into the right margin - http://blog.infinitelymeta.com/reef-ta... not a big deal at all. just wondering. great work on the beta btw.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
you know what Paul - ignore what I said....apart from letting people sign up directly via the widget. Then my friends/family who aren't on friendfeed can comment directly plus you get a whole bunch of new 'non-techy' members.

I tried a couple of times to get it to work, but even with setting the width, the comments still sprawled outside the border of the widget and looked ugly.

Still using the original script on the front page, but did add 'Share on FriendFeed' to the Blogger post template today. Awesome.
- MLx
I created my own widget using feedburner's RSS setup and some CSS code, so as I can get my entire lifestream, as set up on FF, to show up. Since I'm a crappy web designer, I may end up using the FF widget, after all... :/ Can we also use Yahoo Pipes on the Widget? I'm thinking of using Rasheen's duplicate removal setup, once he gets it to work...
- Helen Sventitsky
i haven't because i'm trying to figure out where to put it on my blog.
- Morgan
Not sure Paul. I'm using Chris Pirillo's Social Media theme. Not a WP guru myself. Willing to test though.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
FYI: Adding the widgets (other than the "Share on FriendFeed" link) to self-hosted WordPress requires zero knowledge of WordPress templates. You login to WordPress, click on "Design", then "Widgets", and add a "text" widget and paste in the code.
- Benjamin Golub
No because my blog sidebar is too narrow and changing the widget width cuts the text off mid-line. May redesign my blog one day when I'm bored.

Used it as an experiment in the 'blog that posted itself' recently. Great. Now I'd like to use it in sidebar as widget. Can't change text size tho'. Too big.
- Kate Foy
Ditto Loic - but switched to the newer wider one. Would love to be able to do like 7 or 8 in instead of 5 OR 10. Try to keep the stream clean there for others. Think 7 would be perfect but one size doesn't fit all :)

you can do different numbers, just change the num= variable. I use num=12

@Peter thank you!

I don't feel like my friendfeed content meshes very well with my blog. I enjoy friendfeed quite a bit, but I don't really feel the need to try to get more people to look at my friendfeed. I did try it a couple months ago before it was really public, when I noticed it on your blog, Paul. I do use the friendfeed comment plugin. Maybe I will add a share on friendfeed button.
- Robert Felty
Nope - hosted wordpress.com doesn't allow widgets
- Hutch Carpenter
Absolutely, I've had the widget on the blog for about a month. KnowtheNetwork.com
- Keith - @tsudo
nope, because I made my own version ;)
- Pascal
I did install it but I don't really like its size. I'd like something narrower and with a smaller font. I don't know if this is something I can fix with CSS magic, but that's not my thing.
- Robert Konigsberg
From my point of view: How exactly would it help the readers of Blogoscoped? What's the problem it would solve? Not everything I say on Friendfeed is relevant to the content of Blogoscoped. Now, give me a widget that I can customize to make it be relevant just to a single specific blog post and I will give it a try perhaps... an RSS feed for "comments on URL xyz" (where I can make xyz be a Blogoscoped permalink of a new post) would be interesting :)

Just added it to www.woodysworld.tv under What's the Word. Carries my Twitter, Flickr, Youtube and Pandora. Customized CSS. I'll be changing title to "My Friend Feed"
- Jim W
When will the fact that the comments do not wrap when using the widget on my site be corrected? Please update us. :)
- Dennis Metzcher
Dennis: that is by design so that long comments don't cause the widget to be super long in narrow places. You can make comments wrap with this CSS: .friendfeed.widget .feed .entry .comment { white-space: normal !important; }
- Benjamin Golub
Yes, but I just moved it to the sidebar (it was on the bottom, because the comments weren't wrapping). I am not fond of the background color, and I don't know what to do with the CSS. http://miniaturemage.blogspot.com
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
when i use the css to wrap comments, at the beginning of each line of the comment there displays a different 'comment' symbol. very weird.

Why does there need to be just one term for the web. Surely the web encompasis everything thats come before and what will happen. Better just to come up with names for the different parts.
