It's going to take a while for the tuning to settle in. I'll probably have to keep retuning it for several weeks until the strings acclimate. After that, it's all Clavinet all the time! :)

Kind of. Stevie tracked about 6 different Clavinet parts. I only have two hands.

I was just looking at the girls Barbies the other day and was wondering why she wasnt as busty as I remembered as a child

If anything, people should like this one more due to the fact that it isn't monster-implant busty.

Dare I say, she has shape?
- Lola Bean (Penguin)
I'd do her.
- SteVe C
Awww, they gave her a booty.
- Anika
If I had to compare either of them to real life naked girls, the newer Barbie wins. 90s Barbie doesn't look right. And why is 90s Barbie missing her head?
- Graham English
I thought the newer Barbies were already reshaped to make feminists happy... or less angry, as the case may be. They widened her hips and made her breasts smaller years ago. Do they want to model her after a Denny's waitress now? Move on, sweet cakes!

Been fighting a cold since Thanksgiving and the flu all week. I had to give up Prince tickets this week because of it. Being sick sucks.
Todd Hoff liked this
Oh, that does suck. I hope you feel better soon.
- Anika
Sounds familiar. One thing to check into is that I thought I had a cold but after the cold what I had was some sort of nasal infection that seems very cold like. To get rid of that you use the sinus flush in a bottle thingy and then use a nasal spray to get rid of the infection. That did the job. But then of course I got another cold. But that might be something to look into. Hope you feel better.
- Todd Hoff
Thanks! And I appreciate the advice. So far, my primary medicine has been back-to-back episodes of Community. Definitely cheered me up!

It's great having service icons removed from the posts, that way we focus more on the content rather than the source of the information. That way users won't ignore certain services subconsciously because they've noticed a service icon, rather users ignore a post because it's just not interesting.
Tyson Key, FALOB, ianf ⌘ and 23 other people liked this
Would be nice to have a simple way to sort/filter posts by services though.
- Andrew Trinh
Exactly :D
- Johnny
I hadn't anticipated it, but it seems so evident now.
- Micah
Some how I think people's hidden filters should be reset just because it's a new way to see FriendFeed. Before people probably just hid all these services because one person kept flooding it.
- Andrew Trinh
I never liked how FF posts get more activity than posts from other services. I always saw FF as meta to all the services you can import so why should it matter if an item was shared on Google Reader or posted directly to FF. The other trend I don't like to see is people ripping off Reddit or Digg by copying and pasting the headline and linking directly to the article, giving no credit to the original.
- Graham English
For me it helps sort whether content is likely to be original or shared. Now I still look for that first, and it just wastes my time, having to find it amongst the rest of the text.
- Pixie
What difference does it make if the content is original or shared? If it is interesting and brings about a discussion or enlightens another user then it has served its purpose.
- Andrew Trinh
Of course original content (and the conversations around it) matters... it's FriendFeed, not DataFeed. Stuff like Digg bugs me because it's several clicks to get to the meat, just to see if it's interesting enough to talk about. Also, I may not care about person X's tweets, but I may care about their last.fm (for example). Service identification and discrimination is valid for many and varied reasons.
- Tinfoil 2.0
It depends on what your purpose is, Andrew. Mine is to usually get to know individuals better.
- Pixie
I never said you can't ignore a particular service, that's what the hide is for. But let the users see the information first without any bias and then let them decide.
- Andrew Trinh
Alix, if your purpose is to get to know the individual better then you deserve every right to hide feeds of a user because of which services they use more. But don't let the same bias affect posts by other users, hide it for once and not for all. If after you've considered it that you may not like tweets overall hide it, you don't need to see a service icon to see that.
- Andrew Trinh
Isn't the service part of the information?
- Andy Bakun
Andrew, it's attention prioritization. Especially in a faster-moving realtime page, with user avatars and service icons (like the old realtime feed) I can instantly hone in on where to focus my attention, before I even start reading any titles, comments, or other text.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Actually, there is a great risk of people being unfairly labeled as moronic without the icons, if their posts make little sense, as is the case with a lot of stuff from twitter. I can excuse moronic posts from twitter if I immediately know that's where they are from. Without the icons, I can't really do that. That means everyone I follow has to be a twitter poet, or I might mistaken them for idiots.
- April Russo
But the service has never disappeared, under each post it still states where each post originates from it's just not the main focus any more. The question is, if you have to filter out so much of your feed that you need icons to see which ones to read why do you have it shown in the first place?
- Andrew Trinh
I don't ignore or hide based on service. The icon just often tells me in an instant if this is something the person created or something they think is worth sharing. I never felt the icon was the focus, just an organizational tool.
- Pixie
Andrew, I think you might be misunderstanding something, The service icons have informational content themselves, allowing certain types of information to be given greater or lesser or just different weight from the rest. So instead of "allowing people to focus on the content itself" it forces you to focus on all the content equally, which is clearly inappropriate. Twitter posts are different than delicious items which are different than blog posts which are different than things shared directly.
- Mr. Gunn
Exactly. I agree with Mr Gunn. Now we have less information than we had before.
- Chris Loft
Andrew, agree with you. #betakoltag-ob
- Kol Tregaskes
The service icons represent in part the information that is being presented and how/what services that information was found. Without those it makes it more difficult to tie the information together. Plus those little icons are cute. :)
- sofarsoShawn ~presque...
Also the service icons are a way of filtering the information, for example: by clicking on a user's stumbledupon icon all their sites fall into a nice column which is FAR simpler then the complex filtering system in the beta
- sofarsoShawn ~presque...
I have noticed that Friend Feed users are more likely to respond to a post based on the person doing the posting not what service it is rolling out of.
- Tony C (Unrated)
I think there is an important point here that I've made on other items. I think there are two qualitatively different modes of using friendfeed. One is person-centric, similar to friendfeed or Twitter. People interested in what a specific person has to say. The other is content centric, the person is secondary to the content they are bringing in or promoting. My guess is that the content-centric viewers do a lot of filtering based on the source of the information, as well as the people it is coming through
- Cameron Neylon
Also that the research community (e.g. Life Scientists rooms and others) are more content centric than the general user community. I would think the UI can support both modes of use with a few display options (do don't display service icons, using filtering over service type/number of comments/liks etc.)
- Cameron Neylon
That's a good point, Cameron, and considering that the Life Scientists room has over 700 members, one would think their collective opinion would carry some weight.
- Mr. Gunn
Just loaded the stylish scripts that remove the personal icons and put back the service icons (HT to Neil Saunders) so I'm happy now.
- Cameron Neylon
That may be true, but I still miss the icons :'(
- stanjourdan
I appreciate the help, but I'm on chrome !
- stanjourdan
I'll cast a vote in favour of showing service icons whereever they plausibly make sense.
- Karl Knechtel
I ignore certain icons too especially when it's the source of most of the content that I find to be boring. Makes sense to me.
- Corvida
Bump.
- Kol Tregaskes
I always was a fan of the service icons. I still run the old school realtime FF in the Firefox sidebar, so I get my service icon fix that way ;)
- Tinfoil 2.0
My (and chrisofspades) service icons script still works (in Firefox) too. :)

Facebook seems to be the one taking "privacy" to a new level simply because they want to corner the market on real time informaiton. he who controls the info controls the climate of the world
- DryerBuzz
I don't see a Twitter problem unless someone at Twitter decides one day to just make every protected account public without any advance notice. That's basically what FB did, they did it without letting people know ahead of time (so they could delete 'those' photos and status updates), and they haven't offered a believable explanation why they did it the way they did.

"facebook's approach was "you'll get over it," and *that* is really the problem." - Bingo.

My biggest concern, particularly with facebook, is the sharing of connected info - friends of friends stuff. I may choose to make information public that those who are connected to me do not. I worry about my responsibility to lockdown my account because I don't want to expose my young family members and less net savvy friends. And I'm pissed that facebook makes it essentially...

seems that your biggest problem, tiffany, is having a douche for a friend. they don't need facebook to post a picture on the internet with your name on it. Many of the the pictures that show up when i'm googled aren't linked to pages I have any control over.
- Richard Lawler
I suppose my outlook is different. If there is really stuff I don't want public, I don't post it. I don't rely on the services I use to protect me from myself. Also, while it sucks for those who got got, being pissed at a service for reorganizing your data in a way you didn't expect doesn't make any sense. See Buzz and Facebook's original newsfeed changes. Still trying to see a different perspective, but still don't get it.
- Rahsheen?
Not everybody wants online privacy, but those who want privacy and think they're getting it should get it.
- Bruce Lewis
Rah, it's not mere UI reorganization. It's like FB said "Here's our phone service. You can choose to call friend-to-friend. You can also choose to call on a party line. It's up to you and it's easy to set that setting." Then they changed their mind, and took some of the calls you chose to be friend-to-friend and took money from anyone who wanted to tap your phone call. And they didn't...

- Spidra Webster
Seems to me like most of this privacy outrage is because stuff that was kinda buried was suddenly made easier to locate, not suddenly made accessible when it previously was not. It does sound mean, but to assume your privacy is safe when you store your junk in some stranger's trunk seems odd to me, especially since this privacy is not even guaranteed in a TOS or anything. As far as the phone analogy, me and most folks I know don't touch directly on certain topics on phones...period.
- Rahsheen?
Right. But I'll bet you'd discuss sexual infidelities with a friend on the phone, thinking it's just between you and him/her. But you wouldn't discuss that same info with your partner or your mother or someone else. It's not that you think "it's the phone so I won't discuss anything private at all on the phone". It's that you pick and choose who you share what with. That was what...

Not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but I read that FB now owns everything you post. They could profit off your content and leave you in the dust. I'm still in the dark on a lot of this but I definitely plan on researching my privacy settings this week.
- Graham English
Facebook is changing direction, but I don't see where they are dropping walls and releasing previously unreleased info. Maybe I'm just tired and not thinking straight. Even still, I'm on the net. I assume everyone can see what I post. If I don't want that to happen, I message/email or just don't put it online. Even in instances where I *have* posted questionable stuff, I'm aware those things could be dug up at anytime...like my nipples being violated by Asians here on FF (which I didn't create or post)
- Rahsheen?
Rah, some people want or don't mind publicity, or have no desire or expectation that any online service should be or is a place where they can have an intimate conversation with a friend. And that's fine. The problem comes in when a company builds a user base with Privacy Policy, TOS, and UI that all tell users that they can have privacy, they can have choice, and they can have control....

As online life becomes a larger part of how we interact with the world, we should be able to expect that our online tools support the kinds of interactions we have offline (with all of their gradations and nuances and subtlety). To say 'no, the internet can only be used in this public way' is very limiting, and there's just no reason for it.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Rah, even IMs can be compromised. There was this 19-year-old Harvard kid who said some stupid things in IM something like 6 years ago, and it's coming back to haunt him now.
- Bruce Lewis
it just doesn't seem to me that FB, or any site or service for that matter, guarantees your privacy. Is there some binding contract between the service and the users? IANAL, but I'm pretty sure a TOS and Privacy Policy doesn't cover that. I agree that a truly private option should exist, but trying to bend social media services into something they are not is futile. Yes, FB users got misled, but there is nothing to be done about that now..
- Rahsheen?
Bruce, that just highlights the fact that you cannot rely on the service it self to guarantee privacy. Isn't this why geeks were using PGP and things like that back in the day?
- Rahsheen?
Yes, there's more to the privacy question than the service itself. But I still think it matters what the service does privacy-wise.
- Bruce Lewis
Privacy Policies and TOS can be legally binding. That's precisely why the FTC and governments in most of the rest of the free world are now investigating Facebook, and why there are class action lawsuits. But Rah, I hope you're not equating privacy with absolute secrecy. It's not a binary, it has more to do with choices and control and trust... what you share with whom, when, and in what context. Why *shouldn't* we want our online tools to support the ways we *really* interact with people?
- Tinfoil 2.0
Not saying we shouldn't have the tools but, unless there is some type of legally binding agreement, we can't expect those tools to never change in ways we don't like. Even if they were initially created solely for our enjoyment, they have to pay the bills eventually.
