first thought; there is a bunch of stuff I talk about here that I don't want going to my FB peeps; am I going to have to divy up groups and mind every post?
You'll still have Twitter, if you need separation. - matthew
let me try that again...I had similar thoughts...fb is a different universe. also, as an observer it feels like I'm watching Iraq invade Kuwait. grrrrr - Karoli from BuddyFeed
I had the same first thought. Indeed fb is a different universe and I rarely post there. I don't want that crazy kid who sat behind me in 7th grade social studies having that much access to me. - Gary Gold
Follow the money trail...wanna be my friend? :D - Mark Forman
FB has different levels of privacy for who can see what. But...I doubt they will be merged into teach other anyway. http://bit.ly/sbwjs - Francine Hardaway

Shutting off likes and comment forwarding from FF to T; complaints from the folks over there, real estate concerns. Come to FF for full feed
I turned off comment forwarding but left likes on, because likes spark discussion. The problem with completely bifurcating the two is that it leaves no bridge from one to the other and back. Friendfeed is great, but many, many of my friends are not going to make the jump. I like the bridge I get with 'liking' but not sending comments. - Karoli
Well, now they won't see my response. Maybe they need more news on the OctoMom rather than what I have to offer. - Aron Michalski
plus, all their @ replies just sit there in the silo, never to be seen unless I use another client or actually use the twitter page, which is rare now. - Aron Michalski
you can pull in their replies via RSS, can't you? - Karoli
actually, no you can't. I set up a twitter search on my name and pull in the @replies via the RSS feed as an imaginary friend. - Karoli
I certainly don't mind seeing your likes and comments in my twitterstream. - motownmutt
seems like this is going in the wrong direction, why would it be so hard to set up a truly competing twitter? - Michael Metz
Your comments on FF are Twitter worthy. You should send those over at least. They have a link to the greater conversation. - Christian Burns
Thank you Christian and Mutt. A strange crisis of faith averted. - Aron Michalski
yeah, i had everything going over to twitter, but then after a gillmor gang and a twit (or two) i decided that I was filling up my twitter feed (that i don't really use that much anyway) with a lot of junk - so i turned off comments and kept the likes - Chris Heath
Attention Friendfeed: maybe yet another box/switch within the continuing comment interface a la the initial comment you have so that when the real time flow gets hyper busy we can opt in/out the pummeling of our Twitter pals... EDITED once I figured out a better way to clarify... - Aron Michalski
As the instigator of @aronski's crisis of faith... I feel I ought to chime in. I am interested in in the "interesting and I share with you" links... and the freedom to opt into a conversation around something that catches my interest. I don't want conversation shoved down my throat in Twitterland. I visit FF to see who is talking about what. on another note... Steve Gilmor is "sad" your judgement or how you feel about this subject? - Gary Gold
Gary, I do understand that viewpoint, especially if you are used to seeing a fairly tame timeline rather than one jumping off the page with one person's replies. Aron's idea for having a toggle to stop sending replies from the same discussion over is a great one...I'm going to put it in the suggestion room. That way one comment from a discussion could cross, and the rest would be here if the first one sparked interest from a twitter friend. - Karoli
In my case, the "sad" was just well timed because I was very uncomfortable about responding to you the way I did. It wasn't about you; it was about how my damaged co-dependent side knee jerks in order to never anger anyone and damn how I actually feel about it.I had to think about it for a while and probably over reacted in the other direction (another fine character defect). The up... more... - Aron Michalski
i really like the idea of having the option to turn off sending to twitter all but the first comment in a friendfeed discussion - Chris Heath
Chris, I dropped that into the Friendfeed Suggestions room...hoping it's not tough to implement. It would solve a lot of problems. - Karoli
cool - i think that would go a long way to fostering more cross network discussion - Chris Heath

I have 250 unwatched TED talks, taking up over 12G on my laptop. I'm half considering unsubscribing and deleting the whole directory unwatched. I feel kind of condescended to by the whole enterprise. "Remarkable people ... unmissable talks ... now free to the world." I've tried to watch a few and found them completely missable.
Phillip Rosedale giving a half hour talk on Second Life. Yaaaaaaaawn! - Dave Slusher
I got more out of every single panel I attended at Balticon, including the ones I only saw the last few minutes of because I was on the next panel in that room, than I have from all the TED talks I've tried to watch tonight. - Dave Slusher
I watch them occasionally, but really not very often. It's pretty full of itself; agreed. Some of the presenters are not bad, but I can usually find a more interesting talk by them somewhere else. - Ken Kennedy
I think these bother me the same way Malcolm Gladwell's shtick has begun to bother me. I'm tired of feeling like I'm being thrown crumbs from my "betters". My peers have plenty to say that is more fun to listen to and more relevant to my life. TED talks are like the self-satisfaction of network TV in a shotgun wedding with the in-crowd jokiness of SXSWi talks. Bad combo. - Dave Slusher
Probably my favorite high-falutin’ podcast right now is the London School of Economics lecture series: http://www.lse.ac.uk/resourc... It's not just economics, and it varies...sometimes I skip things I just can't dig into. But I've heard some amazing stuff on here. "World War Two: behind closed doors" was fantastic. - Ken Kennedy
I think you're dead on with the "crumbs to the masses" metaphor; it's stuff of that type from the LSE feed that I tend to skip. Other lectures are more "listen to an academic talk about their topic of expertise", which while YMMV, I often find fascinating. - Ken Kennedy
As I noted, though...that's my high-falutin' feed. Most of my favorite podcasts are my peers, talking about stuff that interests us. That's what drew me into your podcast from episode 1 (ok, I think I started with 3, but I went back to 1 *grin*). - Ken Kennedy
Cool stuff however, I felt marginalized by the six grand - Gary Gold

For those of you who don't get the Susan Boyle 2nd thing and every Idol outcome: it's about creating 2 products instead of 1.
The fan favorite is a lock; the "winner" is a way to get more sales. Nobody remembers who was 2nd unless they really won. - Aron Michalski
point 3: A lack of substance cannot be made up for by a "win". How's the shelf life of most of them? - Aron Michalski
4) Idol tour? Mash up of an ice show, Alan Freed and the Bataan Death March on a budget. No thanks. - Aron Michalski
Add Gorillaz to that mash... and a little Darwin and just a pinch of Carl Sagan perhaps - Gary Gold
@garywan no, it's a base consumer play, soap sales, ice to the Eskimos as the glaciers melt... - Aron Michalski
I reiterate... competitive singing of some songs someone else wrote... kind of a roman coliseum vibe. Just meat for the meanies. Or ice for the eskimoes like you said. - Gary Gold
As Tony Bennett said when he declined to sing the natl anthem at the world series... "Ah... bombs bursting in air just aint my thing" - Gary Gold
potatoes? eskimoes? homoes? eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaa! - Gary Gold
@garywan they find a way to schmaltz even the greatest tunes, lifeless code, 0's &1's of musak into your flatscreen. - Aron Michalski

So Lebron and Susan Boyle are sitting at a bar... and Susan says _____________.
you know the guy who wrote the Match Game is on Twitter... @thegizwiz - Aron Michalski
Susan says to Lebron... "to quote John Lennon "I'm a loser... and I'm not what I appear to be"... but you are... one sexy mother fucker Lebron" - Gary Gold
You gotta do it in @RealGilbert style : " A WOMAN walks into a bar.." - Aron Michalski

Bitterness as mental illness? - Los Angeles Times - http://www.latimes.com/feature... (via @teksquisite) (can be one of the most toxic forms)

You guys are hilarious. - Francine Hardaway
You doubt me Francine; I know this stuff is powerful, you get caught up in the torrent of ill will and it's off to the races... - Aron Michalski
Damn, drug delivery delayed...real time fail from my phone... - Aron Michalski
I would never doubt you, Aron. I depend on you to illustrate the point. :) - Karoli
I had the perfect image from this weekend's trip... - Aron Michalski
Where's the 'he said/she said' rebuttal: bitterness as mental health? - Cliff Gerrish
I think we agree; I think it's just a matter of how far we can take it. I think I have a slight advantage (re: website title and all...) - Aron Michalski
true enough. your table for one is waiting. - Karoli
Bitterwoman just doesn't work as well, does it? Your photo is steel-lar - Karoli from BuddyFeed
My dog is bitter - Gary Gold
Quit biting the dog. then you won't know. :) - Karoli
The article is a clear discription of my life and website. Do I have a leg to stand on If I go up against the Times or should I just go straight to being bitter? - Aron Michalski from BuddyFeed
be twitter bitter. address it to @latimes :) - Karoli
Wow. Leo goes after twitter and I get the Times. - Aron Michalski from BuddyFeed

Long day at work with a lot of problems and questions left unanswered but not bad. Just inconclusive.

Reading Sherman Alexie's "Face" which I downloaded from Amazon for the Kindle app on the iPod. Powerful, accessable, beautiful poetry.
I just downloaded the first chapter and it was so great I bought it. thanks for the recommendation from me. My wallet? Not so much. everything you recommend I end up buying. LOL - Karoli
Heh? You are reading a book on your iPod? Don't tell David Lynch. He's pissed off enough already. - Gary Gold
@garywan light is right. CD playing great. Gonna try for the hit tommorrow, dueling bittermans. Depends on A&P. - Aron Michalski from BuddyFeed

Interesting; my surgery is mostly covered but not the anesthesia; I guess they want is to do heart surgery without any. my only hash tag ever follows: #megafail

Hey man, they have rules; there's a minimum 4 hour call for all department heads, hands off from the truck to the stage.If I tried to do my own insision, i'm sure I'd have to cross a picket line. That and see my rates go higher... - Aron Michalski from fftogo
