Happy Birthday Mike and Jeremy! Hey Jeremy, I think we emailed each other once... your logo looks familiar. Ah, yes... you're in my gmail. Your wife did the art for Medieval Fantasy Festival in March. Small world!
- Trish Haley
Happy Birthday, Kol! Thirty three was a pretty good year for me and I have a feeling you're going to LOVE It :) Best wishes, congrats and go celebrate!
- Holly Rae, FFer
Thank you v much, Dee. Hope you're well?
- Kol Tregaskes
Many Happy returns, Kol. 33? Oh yes, It was back there somewhere. Not a memorable one, but left to my own devices I don't bother about my birthday.
- Ian May
Happiest of Birthdays..................33 years old ...........boy both my kids are older thinking as I type this I am getting older by the minute.......................
- VAL D.
careful what you wish for pea, we may never see you again!
- Carlos Ayala
you keep warning me but I gotta tell you, I've taken on some seriously challenging kids and survived to tell the tales so, bring it on. i ain't scared! ;D
- pea
pfft. has she ever broken into anyone's home? broken some stranger's sunroof? gone to bed with every knife in the house under her pillows because she's a ninja? shoplifted when she was 3? :D i got this.
- pea
give her time. she is only two and is currently only throwing forks and knives at her mother while saying "shit" 'cuz she missed. but when she connects she reaches out to dad for a high five. trust me, there is much evil brewing within this one. the force is definitely strong with her.
- Carlos Ayala
lmao @ reaches out to dad for a high five.
- nakachi
Great pics. I wonder if Cletus will ever calm down enough for stuff like that.
- Matt Hilton
What an adorable pair. I just can't take the cuteness + her awesome shirt. <3
- Carmen
Out of the two, I always prefer sunset. I find it more humbling to know that another day has slipped out from underneath me, and it's a good reminder to make every day as full as possible.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I like the light of sunrise the best but most often see sunsets. I've also lived on both the east and west coast. Great for sunsets over the Pacific and sunrises over the Atlantic.
- Andrew Smith
With out view, we get a great view of the sunsets. We get the sunrise driving in to work :)
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Sunset. Sunrise is too early to wake up for and I'm not able to stay up for them any more either. Also, "Before Sunset" >> "Before Sunrise".
- Andrew C
I get to see both daily and I still can't make a decision. Every morning, I'm like, "Take that sunset!", then at night, I'm all, "Aw...you brought it!"
- Anika
this time of year....sunrise.....(not that I am up to see it)..........the sunset is too early now
- VAL D.
Of note, whoever is running Ellen's account followed the entire Twitter team, and they must have found a social media/tech news/bloggers list, because a ton of folks from FriendFeed and peers are on there. Yes... Ellen is following me. Yay.
- Louis Gray
http://twitter.com/niczak -- I tweet about the following: Programming, databases, parenting, living & enjoying life, and involvement in lots of local activities here in Northern Nevada.

I have most of you (didn't have Valeria for some reason, but just added), mine is http://twitter.com/jungleg -- see you on the other side ;)
- Jorge Escobar
http://twitter.com/dennis_... (don't forget the underscore) What do I tweet about? Tech, fiction, art, music, politics, comics, and of course my fiction. Occasionally some Seattle or Bremerton related stuff. I also have TwitterFeed tweet my blogs, and I always tweet from Flickr.
- Dennis Jernberg
http://twitter.com/glenc but I have to warn you, I stopped following people on Twitter a while ago. I have about 300 subscription notices (unread) in my email.
- Glen Campbell, B.A.
i post about film and television editing/post production, I'm a bit of a gadget nerd, and i like anything funny on the web. i love followers... http://twitter.com/toddzelin
- Todd Zelin
I'm sure you're all interesting but following 6,000 is my limit. ; )
- Liz
http://twitter.com/cgranier - I tweet about many things -usually tech-oriented, reply to everyone who @'s me, and have lately been posting a lot about #FreeMediaVE, bringing attention to the struggle against communism in Venezuela. Feel free to follow me. @ me for a quick follow back. No spammers please.
- Carlos Granier-Phelps
Thank you all. I hope at least some follow me back else I'll hit my follower limit soon. ;-)

http://identi.ca/andyc Microblog about all sorts but mainly OMB and how much I dislike inferior legacy services. No names, no packdrill.
- Andy C
http://twitter.com/Felter i tweet about all, but i don't retweet my FF message. From twitter to FF only. if you follow me in FF, you can read my tweet.

You know, you could have just started feeding in your tweets here and achieved the same, right? Or would that have been too subtle?
- Mr. Gunn
http://twitter.com/glitterpoet Don't mean to offend but it's usually not religious. Porn, drinking,dancing, music,makeup....I still do healing work. I just don't talk about it much anymore.
- Gabrielle V
My twitter stream is the typical... random thought bubbles, food porn pics, and shared items relating to technology, politics, and $$$. http://twitter.com/sean808080 is where you find me. Oh and I like unicorns and fairy dust.
- sean808080
@fossilhuntress or fossilmaitress (I kept getting my email cracked and getting locked out hence the duplicate); all content, linked to digg, delicious... mostly science, paleo and random banter...
- Fossil Huntress
http://twitter.com/wangyip - mostly stuff from FF (tech, startups, web apps, sometimes things about math, medicine, fitness) - I've followed a few here on tech stuff (Edit: Thanks Kol for the thread)
- Wang Yip
http://twitter.com/eoghann... - I post sci-fi news (tv, movies, books or comics I'm probably a fan of it), some tech stuff and the occasional round of venting.
- Eoghann Irving
I try only to blog about stuff that will still be worth reading next year, so twitter lists wouldn't be the sort of thing that would deserve a blog post.
- April Russo (app103)
I'm writing mine tomorrow. But like Mike Fruchter, I keep editing the rough draft over and over!
- Jorge Escobar
I don't see what the big deal is. I barely use the ones on Friendfeed. I like the firehose effect of real-time.
- Derek Coward
I think there is a full roll-out happening today, stay tuned. Lists have finally made Twitter useful again, a real game changer indeed.
- Mike Fruchter
Wasn't it Rob Diana who wondered if "discovery" was the holy grail in social media? Listorious looks very nice.
- Meryn Stol
Meryn, You are correct, those are Rob's words. I thought Indiana Jones discovered the Holy Grail ?
- Mike Fruchter
Yo, @Jesse, I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but I just got to say that Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!
- Mike Fruchter
I can't say this is the first time I've posted these (probably not). But no major surprises. This also debunks Mona's comment previously that I didn't like her enough.
- Louis Gray
I am also glad that those I follow have a much lower percentage of activity coming from Twitter. Diversity FTW. (See Scoble for his example: http://friendfeed.com/e...)
- Louis Gray
Louis Gray doesn't find me interesting! sniff...first Scoble says I have no signal, now this. That's it, I quit the internet.
- Sarah Perez
Any one can game the system. Just go to Mona's feed and 'Like' every post. You aren't fooling anyone, Louis... Oh and Happy Festivus! ;)
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Hi Sarah, you're wrong. And guess what, your picture is going in my very next blog post!
- Louis Gray
Bump for the good times - remember when we had FriendFeed Stats? (Louis is a great database of FF history)
- Jesse Stay
I ranked # 1. Those were the days :)
- Mike Fruchter
Kol: That's pretty neat. Wish it was shorter like wave.com or gwave.com (Google owns gwave.com anyway) or something.
- Nick Humphries
i think this @googlewave.com email address is a temporary thing during testing. after it goes live you should be able to just use it with your google account. at least that's what i think:)
- Taylan Aydınlı
if only you could bold an announcement in FF like you can in Wave :D [oh, and my username on Wave is the splendiforously original "adamlasnik"]
- Adam Lasnik
Guys, please read the title and the first comment. This is not a request for invites. This is for users who already have an account and want to share their account name. For invites see this thread: http://ff.im/91M9R
- Kol Tregaskes
My Wave ID is erier2003@googlewave.com. Feel free to add me and we can Wave!
- Eric Geller
Still don't really know what this is (Or Google Voice for that matter). This is like high school all over again. The cool kids are ignoring me!
- James Ferguson
i'm with the google wave woudl be really cool, if i had people to wave at crowd. jviddy@googlewave.com
- Jamie Vidamour
Everyone, read the title and first comment. This is NOT an invite thread!
- Kol Tregaskes
my plan didn't work. still trolling for an invite at dzinrgeek@gmail.com
- amarquart
Blimey. I must be going mad, is it not clear that this is NOT an invite thread. For invites see here: http://ff.im/91M9R
- Kol Tregaskes
Not sure if anyone else woudl find it useful, i'm going to add a load of you as friends and create a wave just to try stuff out in. Feel free to remove yourself from the wave or use it as you feel. Also feel free to add anyone else you think might want to be in on it
- Jamie Vidamour
Shockingly, I am robdiana@googlewave.com
- Rob Diana
Kamilah, you are kamilah.gill. You can find this if you click on yourself in the Contacts sidebar. You address (like everyone) is shown there.
- Kol Tregaskes
Karoli: is that your google wave nick or are you sniffling? :)
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
I'm sniffling because I don't have a google wave nick. Despite two invites, there is still nothing in my inbox. I am not in with the in crowd. :(
- Karoli
Karoli -- It appears as if there's a batch of emails going out now. Keep checking.
- Christopher A Carr
<- Waves hello! :) I'm at holger.eilhard@googlewave.com
- Holger Eilhard
hello holger, can you pls send me invite? fatihkurtoglu@gmail.com
- M Fatih Kurtoglu
Invite came today! I'm jalada@googlewave.com. As part of the second/third 'Wave' of people getting invites looks like I don't get any to share out.
- Jalada
M Fatih Kurtoglu: Sorry, I don't yet have any nominations to give out...
- Holger Eilhard
Hey, I'm in too ! :)) tagyboy@googlewave.com
- fwed
Just got my invite this morning as well. FF embed seems to be working fine. I've tried the Wolfram Alpha robot but didn't get it to work yet.
- François Dongier
librarysupporter@googlewave.com in my wave. :)
- MLx
Glad to see more and more people getting in. What we're waiting for is proper group support (a few weeks hopefully) then let the games begin! :-D
- Kol Tregaskes
Anyone have a spare google wave invite to send to me? email me at zaldor at gmail ! TY!
- Les Zaldor
I will as soon as I get one WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
- Martha
banane@googlewave.com <-- writing this from wave. neat!
- anna sauce
marco.nunez@googlewave - FINALLY! like i said on twitter - i feel like the kid who got a nintendo 1 christmas too late when everyone had already beaten super mario bros!
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
denise.straessler@googlewave - stupid me had no idea i wouldn't be able to select a different name .....
- denise
Wow. Thanks Kol!!! Here's mine for all ya'll to add - walt.ruppar@googlewave.com - although I just added like 150 of the above. While also deleting my pity pleads for an invite... ;-)
- Walt Ruppar
I thought you might like that. (Substory: Mike has never seen double-digit rankings before. I once played a #10 overall and got crushed. Last night I beat the #72 in the world from my puny little ranking of just around 30,000. It was an upset.)
- Louis Gray
If that is the case, it's kinda cool because you can essentially create your own Twitter client. You can even add other people to help manage it with you, all from Wave. Is there any need for CoTweet now?
- Jesse Stay
Looks to be a bit buggy. I have a feeling I may just try something better for Twitter on Wave. Imagine if you really could build your own Twitter client out of Wave, the way you want it, the way you like to receive your Tweets.
- Jesse Stay
where do I discover my Google Wave account name Mike?
- Thomas Power
Have you found advantages of google wave?
- Lorraine Ball
@Jesse -- this is cool, but I think I'll stick with CoTweet for now. The one thing CoTweet does that I really like is to schedule tweets for delivery at specific times.
- Kevin Gamble
Leo confirmed today that someone he nominated got accepted. They are doing it by hand so, yeah...
- Johnny Worthington
I don't believe I was in the 100K list. Tad and I were nominated on the day they went out and got in the day after the first round of invites. But we were nominated by someone at Google, so that may have made a difference. That being the case we both also were able to give out 8 nominations.
- Her Lindsay-ness
Did Leo say if that person had invites to give out?
- Kol Tregaskes
How did Leo confirm it btw? I wouldn't know how to tell? I only believe I was the first 100k as it's been said that only the first 100k get invites to give away.
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol - Did my comment not help? Tad and I were nominated but we also had nominations to give out.
- Her Lindsay-ness
no. Will patiently wait for one. No hurry
- lelapin
I was nominated by two people. I got my invite on Oct, 2. It was less than 24 hours.
- Mike Fruchter
Lindsay, Mike so you didn't register in any other way? You got access purely on the invite?
- Kol Tregaskes
I submitted for an invite a LOOONNNG time ago as soon as I found out about Wave. But I know that I got in via nomination because the Google employee is a friend of a friend that I didn't previously have in my contacts list and he showed up when I first got into Wave. No other way we would have connected. Update - just confirmed... my invite email says that he nominated me... so yeah, I wasn't in the first 100K.
- Her Lindsay-ness
Guys, if Lindsay was already in the first 100k queue and someone nominated her, wouldn't she be bumped up? That's how it works, I think.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
But would my invite email say I was invited by someone if I was in the first 100K?
- Her Lindsay-ness
Just saw your edit Lindsay so it actually says in the e-mail that you were nominated. OK, I don't have that.
- Kol Tregaskes
My invite email says: "Thank you for signing up to give us early feedback on Google Wave. We're happy to give you access to Google Wave and are enlisting your help to improve the product."
- Kol Tregaskes
I was nominated 3 days ago and I'm still waiting.
- Mike Doeff
Mine says "[name withheld] has invited you to preview Google Wave!" Of course, with the name of the person who graciously nominated me.
- Her Lindsay-ness
I applied for an invite when Google fist announced Wave but guess as just an ordinary Internet user was not high enough up the pecking order to get one. Will have to wait until it is opened to the general population. Pity as i wanted to asses it for elearning.
- Daryl Hunt on FF
Same here but I was luckily in the first 100k. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm still waiting for my invite. Tad kindly nominated me.
- Roberto Bonini
I have been sent one, but not yet received it.
- Travis Koger
from iPhone
I think there where just 10-20k users invited yet - I guess, the 100k invites will only be reached in 6-8 weeks! They are doing it manually! *doh* This is so stupid!
- Dieter Schwarz
I was nominated 3-4 days ago, haven't got my invite yet :/
- Patrik Johansson
My nomination was from someone who themselves had been nominated. They received eight invites to send out and I believe none if the eight that they sent out (mine included) have been received yet. My nomination/invite was sent last Thursday.
- Travis Koger
from iPhone
I submitted for an invite a long time ago, but didn't receive access. I was nominated by someone days ago, yet haven't received an invitation.
- Irma Vermaat
Irma I'm in the same situation. I'm still hopeful. . .
- Heather Solos
“Patience is a virtue, Possess it if you can, Seldom found in woman, Never found in man.” I don't have an invite yet either. Trying this patience thing. Not sure it's working for me. ;)
- Eoghann Irving
I was nominated on the 100k day -- still waiting, like a kid waiting for Christmas.
- Rob Fisher
I was in the 100k and invited two people the next day. As of yesterday neither had gotten their invite. I'm thinking they'll start flowing after the weekend if they're really being done by hand.
- invariant - farewell FF
"Jesse I like your epiphany of sorts, but it's going to be hell managing three Twitter accounts. I tried something like this before and it did not last long. It's simply to much work. I'm curious to see how this works out for you. Keep us posted. Mike"
