Will - don't worry, FF isn't dead.... Paul just said FF is a butterfly or something... or a cocoon.. or a burrito... i don't remember. But we're all not supposed to worry about it
- Jeff (the マクダジ of FF)
I have 94 left. I dont see why they still have invites when any person wanting email can come and sign up straightaway. And even if there is a rational justification for issuing invites, why restrict its number?
- TrafficBug
@TrafficBug - I suspect the answer to both questions is that it'd be more effort to take the invites away than to just leave them there. (Though invites are also useful to get your customers to advertise for you. Peer pressure FTW!)
- Deborah Fitchett
Do U have any Google WAVE or Google VOICE invites??
- Billy Warhol
I have 98 - I thought I would win, but how does Penguin have 341?! I didn't think they went above 100.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Sorry, Billy, on Gmail invites. STEP RIGHT UP, PEOPLE.
- Derrick
Would you like to trade for another Gmail invite? I have some to spare too
- Tamara
oh, this is awesome. He's a friend of a friend, also involved in experimental photography, and he went to great detail explaining his technique (which, incidentally, I find is among just a handful of really innovative things in photography, lately)

What is the difference between liking and starring? Are likes more public?
- Benjamin Golub
@Benjamin Starring is either public or private, based on your settings. Sharing shares with your shared list. Liking is visible to everyone, so if you like a Gizmodo post and I also subscribe to Giz, I can see that even though our Google Reader accounts aren't connected. From the blog post: ""likes" are public, so anyone reading an item you've "liked" in Reader can see that you're a fan."
- Roshan Vyas
That's super-cool. Also like Mihai's tip to see the feed of my likes.
- Matt Cutts
Hmm… liking a thread on liking is far too close to likcest by my reckoning.
- ianf ⌘
@Mihai, @Jenna -- definitely need to make the Likes page and feed more discoverable. I spent a while looking for it myself last night.
- DeWitt Clinton
DeWitt, we haven't figured out if users are comfortable with all of their likes being aggregated like that, so for now only the owner can see their likes feed.
- Mihai Parparita
Oh, makes sense. Though I'd make the case that since Likes are visible to everyone, the feed for them should be as well. I wanted to export them to FF, for example.
- DeWitt Clinton
So there are stars, shares, and likes. Likes are differentiated from the other two by being public. They're a brand new interaction so you aren't changing things out from under anyone. Please don't require auth for the feed of the most public thing, when the sharing feed (less public) doesn't require auth.
- Daniel Dulitz
Helpful post. I'd take issue with the claim all 3 are user-defined. Likes _are_ public; they go wherever the liked item does. As you say, redefining semantics is hard. So if you want a public interaction, and it appears from how you've defined likes as public that you do, now's your window of opportunity. :-)
- Daniel Dulitz
Cool feature. I think of tags in GReader as labels, though, and I'm going to miss hitting "l" to tag an item like I could before this feature was added.
- Nathan Selander
@Nathan Selander you can use 't' now. cool feature indeed. I'm anxious to see how it evolves "in the wild".
- George Moga
@George Moga You could use 't' before. I'd just used 'l' because that's also the shortcut key in Gmail for labeling. My problem now is that I end up liking everything I'd intended to label/tag because 'l' is still in my muscle memory.
- Nathan Selander
@tanath enter the konami code in Reader (up, up, down, down, left, right, left right, b, a then hit enter. Once you see Ninjas in your sidebar, try liking something. It's just for fun.
- Jenna Bilotta
I value screen real estate quite a lot in web applications and the newly introduced likes feature of Google Reader has taken valuable real-estate away. While you can hide the number of likes, I did want to see the number. So I moved it to the most logical place. Right next to the “Like link” using greasemonkey http://userscripts.org/scripts...
- Manu
Oh, I see - the heart shows up _after_ you like something in ninja mode. Thanks, Jenna. :)
- Tanath
I wish I could add this gadget, but when I enable the Gadgets from any URL thing in Labs, I don't see the form to enter the URL under the Gadgets tab. Apparently several people have this problem (went to the Google Groups to add feedback that it's not working correctly), and no one has offered up any solution. :( Sucks!
- Cheryl Jones
Finally get the idea,it is cool though,but not very practical.
- Steve Chou
The URL tab is added to your settings area, not the Labs area. That was confusing for me.
- Yolanda
That is so cool! For me, the only problem is the width which is not appropriate but it works fine
- Rémi Fayolle
@Yolanda: I know. The description for the Labs item that you enable says that a Gadgets tab will be enabled on the Settings page, but clicking on that Gadgets tab doesn't show the form where you can enter the URL like it's supposed to. Bah.
- Cheryl Jones
@cheryljones I'm having the same problem too. I just get a blank page on the gadgets tab. Let me know if you figure out how to import.
- Al Stevens
@Al: Just for fun I went back to the Gadget tab in my Gmail settings, and the URL form box is there now. Just added the FriendFeed gadget to Gmail, yay!
- Cheryl Jones
Hmmm. The FF gadget is less useful than I thought. First of all, there doesn't seem to be a way to manually refresh it without refreshing Gmail as a whole (perhaps I'm too impatient waiting for updates). Also you can't post an original post through the gadget. And the number of FF updates shown by the gadget is limited. I thought I'd be able to see older posts. Oh well, it might be good for occasional use.
- Cheryl Jones
Nice, but wish the tabs in Gmail had replacing options..

- Eda Demir
@Eda 50 lirayı çıkarıp verme motivasyonum dönemsel kampanyanın bir sonucuydu aslında. 2 al 1 öde yapıyorlardı. Ayrıca taksit bile yaptırmıştım. Bilseydim ağladığını 2.'yi adına bırakırdım. Askıda USB olurdu, askıda ekmek gibi. Bilir misiniz o uygulamayı?
- Berkan Tunaboylu
iyi bi FMK olurmus bana. negzel kampanyaymis, darisi basima, hala taksim'deki t-box'in onunden her gecisimde girip alsam mi lan? oluyorum.

Thanks MG. Oh, and I had a chicken salad sandwich for lunch. Could you pass that along to everyone I usually tell via Twitter -- because it's down, you may have heard.

Ahh, when bloggers say something is dead we don't really mean it's dead as in nothing uses it. We mean it's dead in that it's a topic we don't talk about anymore.

the editing on that video was great, too!

Even Simon would have to love that :-)

There's something especially touching given the words of the song to hear it sung by kids with their whole lives ahead of them. Hopefully they won't need to sing it later.

that was fantastic. i laughed from start to finish!

Laughing out loud at 0:57. that kids face is priceless.

0% of my friend in real life know what means friendfeed!
- Hassan
The only people I know who have set up FF accounts haven't done anything with them since setting up their feeds. They're missing the best bit!
- Martin Bryant
No. My best friends have absolutely no interest in technology whatsoever. IRL friends and on-line friends are two completely different worlds for me.
- Martha
bex: you need a :( at the end of that to sell it ;)
- mike "glemak" dunn
I only know 3 people IRL on FF, two have just joined and all hardly participate (though that might change). And no, no specific best friend here, you are all my best friends! :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
None of the people IRL are on FriendFeed. I've suggested it to a few, but none of them have tried it as far as I know.

The shirt, and MANY of their clothes are from a product manager at the office who was very generous. As for Sarah, she was rolling on the floor from the living room to our room and was 5 feet to the left, so Yolanda was mostly right.

Kristine has THE BEST taste in shirts.

Remember - and I made a similar point on LinkedIn today - internal processes are important. If one's internal processes are not optimized, then the output will be deficient. Though I should also acknowledge the "garbage in, garbage out" theory that makes us pay attention to quality input.

tips for working with this hidden yet powerful feature. I believe Chrome is the only other browser to allow dragging tabs into and out of windows, although I'm sure Firefox will add this at some point.
- Jon Price
from Bookmarklet
With a Firefox extension, I can drag a tab from one window into another.
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
I'm afraid opera has had this a while. So that makes 3 browsers which can do it natively, 1 can do it with extension, leaves only IE but then there are several IE based browsers which can.
