I frequently use tor to anonymize my connection but it doesnt keep someone from sniffing my friendfeed cookie, so someone can easily steal my session with an app like ferret/hamster: please enable persistent ssl - Hacker News
In general, all sites that allow non-ssl connections are susceptible to cookie sniffing. For real security on wi-fi, you should consider a vpn solution. - Paul Buchheit
@Paul, why not at least give users the option to encrypt their friendfeed connection? - Hacker News
a vpn solution is also false security because the data that routes from the vpn can still be sniffed since ff doesnt have ssl yet - Hacker News
twitter has end to end encryption, lets get that small but important feature added to friendfeed - Hacker News
We'll look into allowing https for all pages, but if you want to be really paranoid, even that does not make cookie sniffing impossible. An attacker can still trigger a non-ssl request and grab the cookie then. There are ways of dealing with that as well, but it's not as simple as permitting ssl. - Paul Buchheit
yea, im upset everything can be seen in plain text, im sure https shouldn't be too hard to implement, also https with the api would be nice as well - Kyle Weller
they just need to get more bandwith to the ppl ref. the hacker manifesto by mentor old but the line of “service would be dirt cheap if not run by profitering gluttons” rings more tru today than any. http://www.mithral.com/~beberg... - Charles Rice

Folks, you DEFINITELY have to explain the word "noise" for me :) I'm not English, not us, or british, I'm better at french and 2 other languages... Tell me: by "noise" you "bruit" in french? I'm deeply confused with the need for noise :) - directeur
Noise is hard to define but I know it when I see it. - Robert Scoble
@directeur noise is defined here as the "chatter" of other peoples thoughts i.e. twitter, flickr, youtube, and ant thing else that plugs in to FF @tyler follow more people - Charles Rice

Thank you all! Then if this is what noise is, I'm for it... @Scoble: et ça c'est du bruit pour toi? Ist es genug? hal anta said? i wakka thezhidh? :D - directeur
Go over to Plurk there's _plenty_ of noise there when it gets going - Pete Gilbert
@Susan: Scoble's lost his touch. He isn't as noisy as he once was. :P Unless I'm on at the wrong hours, of course. @Stephen: Yes, only not as energetic. Noisy FriendFeeders don't leave the desk. - A Bat
people use plurk? i thought they just opened up an acct then ran back to FF to post jokes - Anthony
There are different types of noise. On one hand, you can get highly redundant noise. On the other hand, if you look for it, you can get a wide diversity of noise. I went on a noise diversification search over the weekend and subscribed to 24 people from all around the world who were quite different than the typical peolpe I've been following. - Mike Reynolds

If you make it an offense for people to make themselves untraceable. all you do is create an unenforcable law. - Slippy Lane
