it must be part of the API, since fftogo seems to include a time stamp on the comments
- Trent Olson
I'm sure they do store the timestamp, even if it isn't currently displayed.
- Mack D. Male
Yeah, it's in the api, all comments & likes are timestamped
- Glenn Slaven
I think this is a perfect plan. The only issue I might have is that the time information might take-over the conversations. It might just look more cluttered than FF already is.
- Ryne Nelson
concur, very useful to have. Make it a display option. Those who would think it's clutter can turn it off then.
- Alexander Falk
It is in the API (I use them in fftogo). I vote that the timestamp should appear as text when you hover over the "thought bubble" to the left.
- Benjamin Golub
All comments are time-stamped in AlrertThingy and feedalizr
- Stephen B
from Alert Thingy
What about a comment alert?! How do you follow conversations on ff!?
- TommaSorchiotti
Not sure if this will add to the functionality, but should be something they can try out...
- Dennis Goedegebuure
Not sure a comment alert is necessary. Comments bring the post up to the top of the timeline, which makes it available for anyone who is currently paying attention to Friendfeed. (Not sure why anyone would want their attention brought to Friendfeed if it isn't already there, that would be a huge productivity drain).
- Jason Wehmhoener
Please, please remember that the whole world doesn't run on PDT. I don't want to see timestamps in my FF in gReader and have to always try to guess whether the west coast is 17, 16, or 15 hours behind. If you must display timestamps, please put them in GMT. Setting the timestamps on my FF page/in my FF feed to be correct in my local timezone would be even nicer.
- James Polley
yeah ! and a hide fonction for each comment
- Jonathan
we know which came first... but in n argument the comments can edit. that makes time stamping very important so we know when someone made a change
- NoahDavidSimon
a timeline function in general would be nice, make everything more timeframe friendly
- Ruben Llibre
Show times either in GMT or in my own timezone, and just make it a tooltip for the quote balloon or something. Don't want it to look cluttered.
- Pat Hawks
just make the time relative from each comment, so I know who said what when in perspective. like 5 minutes later Noah David Simon said. <--this opens up
- NoahDavidSimon
Is i really important to know when every single comment is made? Only the last one would really be useful, could have 'last comment on june 1 at..." right beside the date of the post.
- John Duff
If the timestamp is a tooltip, then it isn't really "in the way." Maybe we can have all the timestamps as tooltips, except the most recent comment will have the timestamp printed out below it, like John said.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
I am so tired of entering an empty room and talking to myself for twenty minutes. lol
- Russellreno
A needed feature for sure I agree. I suggested this to the FF feedback room some weeks ago.
- Mike Fruchter
<--- try hover your mouse cursor on that little dialog icon
- topo
Sorry it's not more obvious, but if you hover your mouse over the comment icon you will see the time that the comment was made. Thanks for letting us know that it's hard to find! The feedback is much appreciated.
- Ross Miller
I believe they are timestamped but this data is not yet displayed.... you're right !
- David Berrebi
other than timestamp I also want to be able to like the comments individually =]

Bought Autostitch ($1.99) after seeing the results from Chris's post: http://friendfeed.com/chrisla... Here are the results from making a panorama of my front yard. Not bad for a mobile app!
Whoever made this app is probably going to make a fortune off of it. You take a bunch of pictures, open Autostitch, pick the photos you want to stitch together and it does its magic. No manual alignment necessary.
- Jason Huebel
It's a wonderful program and it can generation panoramas from dozens of photos and they dont have to be all lined up, you can even do grid. Here are some inspiring ones - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
- Mark Interrante
I heard Leo talking about this app the other day. One tip he gave for using any panoramic app is to try to rote the camera, not yourself. IOW, If you are holding the camera at arm's length, try to just rotate the camera, instead of you turning. This will reduce the amount of parallax shifts. At some point you have to get out of the way, but a tripod will yield better results.
- Joey Gibson
idk if I'd pay for a mobile app that does what a free app on my PC can easily do ...
- LANjackal
Well if you are away for a computer and want to post a wide shot, this does the trick. I used it quite a bit today.
- Jason Huebel
from iPhone
As much as I want to like hugin, I was immediately put off by it because it wanted all kinds of technical information about my camera. Well, it's an iPhone, I'm not a photographer and I really didn't want to fool with it. I think I'll stick with Autostitch, since it "just works" and I can do it all within my phone.
- Jason Huebel
Damn I'm hooked on chrome. Chrome! when feedly goes chrome I'll gladly grab it. What about my precious iphone? Out in the cold with no cool conversation gravity well navigator? I'm interested but I can wait till it jumps over all the browser barriers. Web generality, ain't so general :(
- Mark Essel
RSS becomes an even greater time sink than ever. We need apps that make it HARDER to get to this kind of stuff! ;-) Really! Thanks for the heads up on this little gem.
- Alex Williams
Feedly is coming soon to Chrome. Edwin, what's the ETA?
- Mike Fruchter
I do not know the exact ETA for something polished/official because we are multi-threading on a few projects in parallel and have been swamped by the number of feature requests. If you send me an email, I can add you to our private alpha list. It will require you to run the dev version of chrome (which starts to support APIs for extensibility). We also have a version running on safari (minus the mini toolbar). My email address is edwink A T devhd.com
- Edwin Khodabakchian
I strongly disagree. FF addict, tried feedly, didn't like it. I use Google Reader + Newsfox instead
- LANjackal
Saw this yesterday. Figured I'd give it a go. Didn't realize it would be this awesome! Thanks Louis!
- Bas
God damn it, frackin firefox addons. This one actually looks good to! Bah, I'm chrome's biatch
- James Tenniswood
I'm in the same boat James. I need the window opening speed of chrome, there's nothing like it. Its the same reason I originally went with stripped down firefox.

I've had my 3G nearly a year and my screen has no scratches. Being ultra careful is the best way to protect it :)
- Roberto Bonini
from iPhone
I bought a cover from decalgirl.com that covers the front/ back and includes a clear screen protector. With this you don't really need a case.
- Ron Thompson
I'm using the Zagg Invisible Shield as well. They actually sell a two piece set now that covers the entire device, though I only bought the one that protects the screen. Then I have an Incase slider case which is very unobtrusive.
- Herb Hernandez
A box in a vault, buried under concrete.
- Tyson Key
I personally don't use anything. You're going to get scratches on the plastic case regardless of what you do, and the glass is extremely resistant to normal scratching. The new iPhone 3GS is even chemically treated to resist smudging. I carry around a micro fiber cloth in my pocket, which cleans it up in a few seconds if it becomes especially smudged up.
- Mark Trapp
These pictures are great. They look so cute dressed up. My favorite one is where you are holding them, both asleep on your shoulder. *wipes tears* so precious.

Louis, now that you have twins, I bet you can't imagine just having one, eh? My daughter is scared to death of having twins. I'll have to show her these pictures. :)
- Dawn
Just too cute for words. Love them all dressed up. I'm bummed I can't see the dress up shoes though. Little baby shoes are darling.

This is what Sarah and I were doing after escaping from sacrament meeting. She got fidgety, so we wandered around the church. Some of you can no doubt relate.
- Louis Gray
That looks like the Relief Society room. We usually just go out to the car and sleep when that happens. :-)
- Jesse Stay
Both. I just turned 20 and wish I learned piano growing up, if only just to be the groundwork to my current musical talents. At the same time, I was never huge on basketball growing up, even though I played, yet I have been playing every day the past week with friends.
- Daniel Zarick
Louis, if we ever move out there Rebecca will be happy to teach the Twins piano - she is now going on child #3 of ours at the piano. I can't say the same for basketball though unfortunately.
- Jesse Stay
In 10 years -- as you're trying to sleep -- would you rather hear the bouncing of a basketball or piano music?
- Robert DeBord
I have only tested Tweetie and TweetDeck. TweetDeck I found to be very buggy. My vote is for Tweetie, it's fast, clean and works extremely well. I'll have to give Birdfeed a test. The UI looks sweet.

How does the Oakland taco truck compare with the LA taco truck? Because when I tried the Oakland taco truck? I think I saw Jesus.

B, I've never had tacos in Oakland. My spot in the bay is the Mission district in SF. The pupusas and steak I had there rank up in my top ten meals of all time.

- LANjackal
from Bookmarklet
Don't actively use it, but I have a few old accounts that it's the primary email address for. And of course there's Windows Live Messenger, which a bunch of ppl I know still use (I don't, but I like to keep my account around in case I start to again)
- LANjackal
from IM
the only drawback is if you don't login to hotmail for some time, all your hotmail email will be lost in just minutes. horrible!
- darwin|1q84
AFAIK every time Gmail checks ur Hotmail for you, it logs in via POP3, which resets the "idle account" clock on the Hotmail side, so that shouldn't be a concern
- LANjackal
from IM
@LANJackal you don't need a hotmail account for WLM. mine ends in @325i.org
- mjc
Also, if you use your hotmail address as a Windows Live ID, signing in anywhere on the net should reset the clock also
- LANjackal
from IM
I'm not saying that you do, I'm just saying if you have a hotmail account and use it as a Live ID/Passport to log into 3rd party (or MS) sites ... that's all

I've come to mostly ignore the trending topics. They are very rarely the "trending" topic of the people I follow, and even more rarely a topic that I even care to divulge into.
- Daniel Zarick
Louis, I saw that too. More colossal immaturity from 4chan.
- Stephen Mack
from iPhone
There has to be a better mechanism put into in place for the trending topics, it's way to easy to game.
- Mike Fruchter
@Mike, there isn't much that can withstand the sheer number of /b/tards..
- mjc
Definitely a great app... and worth the price.
- Herb Hernandez
This app has some serious potential.
- Mike Fruchter
Yeah, I really love the app. I used it several times today. In some ways, it makes up for the iPhone's complete lack of lens and zoom options.

In main feed, not that often. However, in my "productivity room" I actually do for editorial... interesting that I have created a little space to tuck things away on.

I have not. I did hear a 2008 electronic mix of Wanna Be Starting Something on the radio that was good enough to buy, though.

Not me. Heard a bunch on the radio and that was enough for me. I was never really a fan and don't feel like I should suddenly become a fan just because he died.

LOL I was just trying to answer straightforward. On Twitter, the look of the page of who is following you has changed; shows their last tweet and you can see more info on them without going to their page.
- Anika Malone
Let's see... they screwed up follower counts... cut down the search.twitter.com to just a couple days (used to be a year)... and they added "verified" profiles to certain celebrities pages.
- Paul Reynolds
They REMOVED search on profiles for a day and put it back I think. Does that count?
- Adam Helweh
How long have Trending Topics been in the main page? Maybe over a month now. In my opinion that ruined the usefulness of them because it drew far too much attention to them. Twitscoop is now much better at watching events unfold.
- Jalada
How about the last several months?? And I am talking a new feature not updates to the existing features...
- Mike Wills
Now I've been writing an article on FF for the Dutch Lifehacking blog, I came to realise that thanks to all those (new) features on FF it's not easy to explain in a minute (or in 1000 words) what kind of service it is & how you can use it. While that's what it is with Twitter: it's even possible to explain that service within 140 characters. Clearly, that's what most people want. Some...
