As people have left, FriendFeed has gotten more interesting, again. It's a condensing community. What might pop out?

The "condensing community" description is an interesting one, Hayes. I think that's a significant factor. Add to it the fluidity with which you can become an acquaintance, then a familiar, then an integral part of a group. With persistence and patience, some amazing things are facilitated here.

It has the forum problem: more interesting when it is a small focused group.

@ Micah well-said.

Maybe a lot of the boring people left.

MVB exactly. Robert: sorry right now I don't want to solve the forum problem. I'm emailing my friends cool links to old MC5 vids instead of posting those links. And I'm thinking about that.
- Hayes Haugen
Thing is Robert, my group sizes here have been stable from before the buyout and since - and rewarding/high quality. It didn't get un-focused during the highest absolute visitor count era, and it's not too narrow now. In other words, between the built-in tools of FF + how I used the site, I've maintained what for me is an optimal set of connections. I can only speak for my experience, but there you go.

Hayes and Micah: How do you make it work for you? Give me a couple hints. Right now I'm getting mostly Robert Scoble and links, which is fine, but I know I'm missing other interesting tech stuff. Everytime I broaden my follows or add a list I get too much junk. Any specific ideas?

Watching Godfather I and II on the tv with ads and bleeps. Hours later still works for me.
buffered on dvr though - couldn't actually do the commercial breaks in real time.

When I'm doing stuff I like the all in ones better than the lappies.

Did any of the FriendFeed Facebook acquisition discussions occur over Gmail? I have to give up gmail for work related activities.
Is your company afraid that somebody at Google will read your mail?

I guess my question is really about the changing landscape of data security and control. What organizations out there are comfortable with their email and documents living "out of house"? Obviously the City of Los Angeles. I understand both points of view.
- Hayes Haugen
The City of Los Angeles represents an interesting move for Google. LA's data will be stored in the "GovCloud" which, as reported by InfoWorld ( http://www.infoworld.com/d... ) would be 'encrypted and "physically and logically segregated" from Google's standard applications. The data would be stored only in the U.S. and only...

Browser support for json cryptography could make the point moot. Data would only ever live in cleartext in a browser or client. Heck you could practically get rid of ssl at that point. And it's a lot easier than supporting private clouds. Thanks for the LA info.
- Hayes Haugen
It's hard to build a search index on encrypted data.

Good point.

Looks like this isn't a continuous results thing. They posted tonight at 8:15 and then daily updates at 4:30 pm. It's all mail in so today's results are "Mail ballots counted on election day". More here http://www.kingcounty.gov/electio...

The more secure a password is the more likely it is to be written down and become less secure.
It sometimes seems that I spend more cycles managing Firefox than the OS it runs on.
...and frickin Adobe just snuck in McAfee virus scan on me in the flash update. I'm sure there was a checkbox but yuck. Is this really how you want to roll Adobe?

Vimeo made my already dark video even darker. Gamma? Also can't get an embedded player going here in ff.

Yes, but the landing craft with all its awesome photo ops left hours before i thought it was leaving. I was not on it and had to drive slow in our 22 foot boat across the wonderous rosario strait instead. Got some pix to post when i get back. I heart humans.
