The Architecture Astronauts will say things like: “Can you imagine a program like Napster where you can download anything, not just songs?” Then they’ll build applications like Groove that they think are more general than Napster, but which seem to have neglected that wee little feature that lets you type the name of a song and then listen to it —... - http://socmoth.tumblr.com/post...

U.S. Helps Frequent Fliers Make a Mint - http://online.wsj.com/article...

"At least several hundred mile-junkies discovered that a free shipping offer on presidential and Native American $1 coins, sold at face value by the U.S. Mint, amounted to printing free frequent-flier miles. Mileage lovers ordered more than $1 million in coins until the Mint started identifying them and cutting them off. Coin buyers charged the purchases, sold in boxes of 250 coins, to a credit card that offers frequent-flier mile awards, then took the shipments straight to the bank. They then used the coins they deposited to pay their credit-card bills. Their only cost: the car trip to make the deposit." - Kevin Fox from Bookmarklet

Makes me wish I'd known about it. :) - Spidra Webster

I was really close to doing this with my cash back card but the ROI wrt time and effort wasn't there. - Joe Beda () from iPhone

I remember reading about it on flyertalk.com but was to lazy to participate. I'm surprised that the mint cut them off considering it was just a small amount of the total amount sold. - Carl Haynes

I'm not surprised at all. The Mint was willing to absorb the shipping and credit card fees (1.5-3%) as a promotional cost to get the coins into advocates' hands. If the coins are being sold in a way that doesn't meet these goals, just to take those marketing dollars and give them to people with completely different agendas, I can totally see them halting that. - Kevin Fox

I love coin dollars and didn't know these had been minted. I am one of those weirdoes who actually likes the Susan B. Anthony and Sacajawea coins (although I'd sure like to see a historical woman on a coin people actually *use*. Guess I'm going to have to wait for rampant inflation...) - Spidra Webster

Bret, do you have a set of coding conventions you use? E.g. looks like you use mixed case for classes and underbar separators for methods. - Cristo

Fantastic, Bret (and team)! - Micah Wittman

A very good project!...you know if will be possibile to use Tornado with other technogies except Python (such as JEE, Ruby On Rails, etc.)? - Nicola Junior Vitto

I think this is the best answer for the ultimate question: "Does python needs yet another web framework?"

This is what I exactly want to do. But, usually the next release is a top secret for many of the companies and it's very stressful to write even the concepts you are working on. - Burcu Dogan

I think most people would prefer to work this way, but it is worth noting how difficult that can be at a large, well-known company: individuals, the press and Wall St are trying to read something into every little thing you say or do, there are SEC rules to worry about, and so forth.

Joel, I do understand the bigger issues at Google, I'm referring more to the product and support side. I've been getting some VERY bad vibes from other users and developers in the forums for Blogger, GFC, Picasa, Maps etc and their APIs. I've actually had people tell me to stop asking questions about GFC because no one from Google responds. Here I get the exact opposite feeling, from... more... - Chris Myles

chrismyles: some of the issues are cultural and others are technical. google support discussions used to be mailing lists, and wading through so many messages is time consuming. since moving to their forum system, the level of responses have improved somewhat and it seems the staff is better able to pick out topics to reply. the friendfeed platform is even better, and allows topics the community thinks are important to receive a higher priority. - Mike Chelen from IM

Mike, I guess we'll have to see.. What I love about FF is it makes it easier for ME to keep track of all my discussions in a single spot. Google's new support discussions require me to visit each group independently; there is no central location where I can monitor all my questions. It might be easier for Google but it's harder for me.. If only they all used friendfeed!! - Chris Myles

So Bret, what do you think of the resulting app? Now you've got even more reasons to be interested!! - Chris Myles

Chris: indeed those are the sort of technical or design capabilities that can restrict or enhance the effectiveness for users of a platform. both google and friendfeed have dedicated and skilled staff, yet here they are more able to communicate efficiently with relatively greater numbers of people. - Mike Chelen

"But to Washington State University neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp, this supposed pleasure center didn't look very much like it was producing pleasure.

I don't like how some people are thinking you "sold out" because you were bought by FB, because you needed the money and if you didn't get it what would happen? I think people are pissed off mainly because FB was the service that bought it. What if Myspace or Micorsoft bought FF? I bet there would be more people (including myself) who would totally lose trust in you guys. - Molly, "sorry"

Some people are going to take this cryptic post as "Friendfeed will remain a separate entity and will continue to be developed, but I just can't reveal that yet." If that's not what ends up happening -- as seems almost certainly to be the case -- many FFers will hold it against you. I don't believe that's what you're saying, but many will. I imagine the fact that the reaction is mostly... more... - Christopher A Carr

Christopher - I think Paul should start writing even more cryptic posts to /really/ mess with people. - Andrew C

He seems busting at the seems to talk about *something* he knows, I just doubt that something will really be all that reassuring. - Christopher A Carr

Christopher, you're reading too much into this (as are most people here). I really do mean it as a general point about life. The truth is that I don't know exactly what the future holds, and neither does anyone else. - Paul Buchheit

I have been through a few recent experiences where my apprehensions and concerns about the honesty and the intent of people have been proven wrong. I guess some of us need to go through this phase of realization before we can start trusting people a bit easier than before. - Jassim

Paul: I was saying that I'm not reading that into your post, but many people will. In light of circumstances, posting something like that is going to be heavily interpreted, right? - Christopher A Carr

I guess I'm in what some people might think of "denial". I want to think positively instead of being cynical. Being cynical to me is negative and doesn't solve a damn thing. Being positive about anything this day and age is a bad thing, I guess. People view positive feelings as being "in denial" which IMHO is a bunch of bullcrap. - Molly, "sorry"

Depressing country music comes to mind... the dog ran away and the truck died, sad tune... *Sigh* - Jannifer @wordsforliving

Perhaps more to the point: Most here may trust the former FF team, but many don't trust Facebook. - Christopher A Carr

Christopher, I think that is the main point. It was interesting to see Matt Cutts post his congrats via a FF post, but also mention that he hopes the FF team brings some openness to the FB. That is part of the trust thing. Even Microsoft is more trustworthy than FB right now and everyone knows that a team of talented devs getting swallowed up by an untrustworthy corp typically makes no difference to the corp's culture. - Travis Koger

I hate Facebook - Jannifer @wordsforliving

Software is scalable to huge customer bases.. Customer support, feedback, and expectations don't scale as easily!! - Chris Myles

Travis: Yep. - Christopher A Carr

I had to admit, even though I like FB a lot, they have done some things I'm not happy with. I'm hoping they don't mess with FF too much or I won't go there anymore. - Molly, "sorry"

@Paul, I will stretch my trust a bit further to see how this washes out for the FF team, but in my view trust is always based on the actions and the way this has been handled, given that you are well aware of your rabid fan base, is not good for maintaining trust. I would have actually preferred that FF be bought my Microsoft (I know MS haters, perish the thought), but at the moment I... more... - Travis Koger

Thing is, every single FF user with a FB account could go delete their Facebook account, and Facebook would barely notice. So it's hard to believe that that they care -- why should they? - Christopher A Carr

Totally agree Christopher. The FF crowd are such a small bag that they do not care. The reason why I would prefer MS is that they would care because they are clawing marketshare with any means, each little grab of users for them means a lot more then it does to FB, who as we all know don't even care about their existing 250-300mill. - Travis Koger

Travis: You do know that MS is FB's single largest investor by far, right? For all practical purposes, MS bought FF as much as FB did - LANjackal

LANjackal, yeah, but I am not sure about single largest? Particularly since the valuation that they bought in at was a lot higher than the current valuation from the recent buy in, so I think their shareholding is a tiny bit smaller now. There is still competition between the two for users, as there is from Google and twitter etc. - Travis Koger

Hmm, I don't like mirrors... - Mo Kargas

Lanjackal, I told like you to one of my friends feed yesterday, you are right! - muratt

Travis: FB isn't publicly traded, and MS has given them more funding than anyone else, period. No one else has come close to the $240M MS poured into FB - LANjackal

muratt: Thanks, appreciated - LANjackal

Travis: You don't think the Bing search results integrated with FB search results are accidental, do you? That said, I'm not one of those people who believes everything MS is bad. So far they've done well allowing FB to grow as they have. I've been with FB since 2004 so I have more faith in them than the average person. I'm giving them time to see how this all shakes out, and putting a lil trust in the FF devs too - LANjackal

LANjackal, absolutely not, I know that was part of the investment and obviously worth a shed load more than the original 240M. I did think though that they had just received 200M from a russian company and have received other similar size investments from other companies. Don't get me wrong, I am not a total FB hater, if they do right by FF then I will absolutely stick around. What I... more... - Travis Koger

This is a smart approach. Trust...but verify. As much as many of us chuckled at Reagan in the 80s (OK, as much as some of us old guys chuckled) that's not a bad philosophy; it's what we do in day-to-day life, anyway. If we didn't implicitly trust most of the people we interacted with daily life would be chaos. Oh, and "naive" is the way we act on a daily basis. - Tom Guarriello

Oh, and one more thing. I think the difference between the public reaction to FB buying FF and Amazon buying Zappos is fascinating. - Tom Guarriello

I have actually more trust in FB than I have in Amazon - FB has not yet had the kind of anti competitive practices that Amazon has had in the last few years. If it had an easier way to ignore most apps, and reined their lawyers when revising T&Cs, FB would be positively peachy :) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Reality is a mirror. We will manifest in life what we continue to see and be. If we find that we continually cannot or do not trust people, it is often because we ourselves are not trustworthy. Give situations time to sort out before you automatically assume that the worst will come about. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Paul, I take your point. This is how I've gone through my entire life, with varying degrees of success. But I should tell you because of this I've been burned many, many times and have the emotional scars to prove it. It is not a statement to be made lightly (not that I think this is what you were doing). - Jim Is Not Smart

I think most people would like to trust but most people have been disappointed before so when one cares about something or someone might tend to create negative mental scenarios as a mechanism to protect oneself from another disappointment and not to appear a fool once again. - M F

Cautious optimism is how I proceed. However, I've been involved in and project managed through many acquisitions, and usually the acquiree gets fed a bunch of bs about how they'll be able to control their destiny and keep their baby running. But I don't think I've ever seen that actually happen. I hope it might, in this case, but I feel like so much cannon fodder at this point. - Rick Cogley

@rick - touche - Monique

@PaulToo / Paul Buchheit you say "Unfortunately clarity takes time." This is really where I think many people take issue, why did you sell the company without getting a more firm road-map for how things were going to go (which you could have then announced)? Unless you basically said: "OK, just give us the money and we'll let things sort themselves out later." Which is of course your... more... - Alex Schleber

Are people forgetting that Paul sunk millions of his own money into FF? Unless FF was a 503c Foundation, he can't be faulted for seeking to recoup that, and with big players copying FF features every day, there was a risk to FF's future. I'm somewhat saddened by what happened, but happy for Paul, but either way, FF introduced a bunch of concepts that will now be copied by other... more... - Ray Cromwell

I like the sentiment to stay open and trusting. Life is too short to do otherwise. And since there is a lot of talk about the facebook deal on this thread guess I'll throw in my 2c there too -- which is, congratulations on another successful venture Paul. Very impressive and facebook will be better as a result. If FF gets lost in the shuffle that just means someone has to go out there and start another venture ;) - Thomas Mader

@cromwellian, that's why I used the words "which is of course your prerogative"..business is business, fine. I congratulate the FF team on their business win. But then don't mix categories and try to bring social issues like "trust" back in through the backdoor. After Beacon et al. FB PR disasters, do you trust Zuckerberg/FB with a darn thing? You yourself seem to think similarly by saying you're "kinda resigned that it's long term fate is not in the cards." My point exactly.. - Alex Schleber

@Guruvan BTW I disagree with you that this has anything to with LOA/Projection type stuff..the point is we all trusted FB in the beginning..a long time ago. Did we attract their multiple mis-behaviors into our shared reality somehow?!? - Alex Schleber

More accurately, life is better when people are trustworthy. - Tanath

Alex: I have spent about 10 hours of my life with Mark Zuckerberg. I think he is a lot more trustworthy than most business leaders I have met. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

@Scobleizer, which isn't saying that much, would you agree? :) It is after all the same Mark Zuckerberg that handed out business cards reading "I'm CEO, Bitch" not all that long ago.. - Alex Schleber

How does facebook reconcile talking about openness but trying to prevent other services from gaining traction by blocking the flow of information out of facebook that would enable smaller networks to compete? It looks like facebook is trying to become the entire web experience for users. - Ru Viljoen

I've been through too many mergers and acquisitions to trust anything the buying corporation says. - Alex Scoble

yeah u need to trust now because you gave away control. i think it was a silly move. i still think that friendfeed could have turned the tide by itself,...with proper profiles and people search. now all you can do is hoping you didn't got fooled - Chris Hofmann

Schleber: damn, I didn't get one of those cards from him and had to drag him into a Time Magazine party. He didn't want to go because he didn't have an invite. I think that's the last time that I'll have an invite to something he doesn't have. But, seriously, I love how we blow out of proportion people like him. - Robert Scoble

Alex Scoble: I assume the worst and when the best happens, I'm surprised. That said, Zuckerberg and Facebook has never stabbed me in the back or been jerks the way some other companies have been. - Robert Scoble

If facebook succeeds it will lead to a period where innovation stagnates, and finally the largest task for facebook is to wrest power from google, and I personally do not want that to happen. - Ru Viljoen

Ru: if you think Facebook is stagnating, I think you are smoking some good dope. Remember, FriendFeed couldn't take off because Facebook was too fast a follower. Many of my favorite friends from across the industry are now working there. Don't underestimate this company. - Robert Scoble

Plus they stole Google's sushi chef and he's freaking awesome. - Robert Scoble

Any company in Silicon Valley who is powered by sushi is unstoppable. ;-) - Robert Scoble

I don't think that, I think facebook is brilliant and incredibly innovative, I mean it will go that way if they become too dominant in the comprehensive web experiance. - Ru Viljoen

Ru: Facebook is the next Google. - Robert Scoble

I have never heard of any company continuing to drive innovation as google has after acquiring a monopolistic majority, that is why I do not want it to be replaced. - Ru Viljoen

Facebook never stabbed you in the back? :) http://scobleizer.com/2008... - Louis Gray

I was thinking about that Louis. - Alejandro

I think he is right, social search is better than legions of anonymous results. Facebook leads social so when they master search they will undermine google. - Ru Viljoen

yeah but the content that is dragged into FB is still much more limited to what google can crawl. - Chris Hofmann

What exactly are you referring to by "social search," Ru? - Christopher A Carr

If I'm trying to figure out who *among my FB friends* has the cutest new baby, or the highest ranking on Farmtown, then FB is certainly superb. - Christopher A Carr

Search results relative to people you know. So far facebook has focused on features and usability to grow its userbase, but it looks really obvious that they will then try to use that social network to create a search engine that uses your acquaintances to serve you recommendations or search results and people will love that. - Ru Viljoen

Wait, what? - Derrick

thats what friendfeed has been doing already - Chris Hofmann

Ru: I could see that were FF as large as FB. My aunties and uncles on FB don't really know much about my interests or preferences. Won't FB have to radically restructure the network -- FoaF, and such? - Christopher A Carr

i think that is the point of getting the friendfeed guys in the firstplace - Chris Hofmann

In that case, there's so much legacy cruft in FB, why not build from FF's foundation if they're going to have to tear things down anyway? - Christopher A Carr

Actually Paul, there is a famous wise American Caver named Donald Davis. Cavers find cave. Caves are a kind of form of Shrodingers Cat, we never know where more cave is until we find it. Davis postulated in the 60's that the cavers create the cave in their minds. - Robert Higgins

FF is interests/information-centric. FB is people you happen to have encountered physically-centric. - Christopher A Carr

It might be a hell of a lot of work but still that is where they will go. Bear in mind they have just released facebook lite and their explanation of it being for low brandwidth areas and mobiles smells like BS, but that is too speculative, fact is they can create that infrastructure with enough money, talent and users. - Ru Viljoen

But they have 1/3 of a billion users with old expectations to placate. How radical can they be? - Christopher A Carr

Well until it is done who knows how much behaviour will be shaken up, but they can be quite radical and people will not leave because how do you communicate with school friends and grandma if you leave? - Ru Viljoen

It would seem extremely difficult to me to build a new house by ripping out a piece of the old house and replacing it, one piece at a time -- and starting from the roof. At best, for much of the process you'll have an ugly-ass Franken-house -- which is a good description of the state of affairs at FB. - Christopher A Carr

Paul we trust you not to stab Friendfeed in the back, but to infiltrate and take over Facebook - Robert Higgins

:) I can haz sleep nao. - Eric Logan

No, Eric...it's only 4:48PM. :-) - Christopher A Carr

hahaha well I hope facebook remains a secure place to chat to our real friends and some form of friendfeed lives on and grows for our edgy web friends. Sleepytime 01:49 here - Ru Viljoen

I imagine you and the rest of the FF gang are stinging a bit (perhaps you didn't expect the backlash to be as... well, passionate as it was?) but, in my experience, trust is something that has to be earned and it's usually something I only give to people I know personally. Generous trust has almost always repaid me negatively so I'm loathe to just hand it out. I'm a cynical, old, cranky... more... - Akiva Moskovitz

I have a long held belief that trust is something meant to be earned, not something you are entitled to from the start, and once shattered it is difficult, but not impossible, to regain. And Trust travels with a companion called Respect. They are 2 sides of the same coin. - April Russo (app103)

Wow Akiva!! 'monster off the leash'. I feel your hurt emotions, really deep! - Myrna

Eh, I've entered into the acceptance stage. Things are as they are. - Akiva Moskovitz

My response was you are worth way more than 50M! - E-Advocate Network

WAYYYYY MORE (than 50M)!! - Chris Myles

I don't get it because I am not sure what to post - Posting links seems to be pretty boring, Posting some minute detail about my life is not particularly relevant to my internet friends. I like conversations but I am not sure how to start it - Bindu Reddy

Find interesting people to follow, and try replying to them. - Tanath

Twitter is being spammed so much lately (not to mention the 'attacks'), it's becoming a lot of work. Still a great real-time vehicle but the pollution level is increasing (and a serious pain) - Charlie Anzman

Start by saying what do you think is interesting. You wil get it, soon. - Florin Grozea

Paul - yes, I am thinking that is the whole problem. I need to stop wasting my time on these social media sites and go figure out how to become famous. Maybe I can get you to teach me how to become famous so that one day I can get Twitter :) - Bindu Reddy

Go to http://onWave.com and ride a wave... or make your own. It might help you understand Twitter better when you see it within the context of different topics. - Gus

There's nothing to understand. Just write what you want and reply to others. You couldn't do worse than all those social media experts out there. - Morton Fox

Your not alone sister but that's life. Has to continue :) - Nia

Adding appropriate hash tags seems to get your post noticed by many people who don't necessarily follow you. I find this similar to posting to groups in FF. - Bill Rodman

+1 Morton!! - Charlie Anzman

...hashtags like: #stopfindingme ;) - Micah Wittman

Bindu, keep running a search of your interests on your twitter client. I run a search for anime and when someone posts an update anywhere, anytime it pops up on my search and that starts my interaction with them. You will not believe the variety of people I run into this way: from meth heads to the smartest people I've seen online. - vijay

Much like FF your Twitter experience depends on what you want out of it. - Soup

you're over thinking it, the journey not the destination - WarLord

you've got over 1000 followers and you've tweeted nearly 1000 times! I think you're doing ok.. :-) - Andrew Terry

Bindy, I'm following you now, but looks like you're already a Pro! - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

I'm following you now, too. - ha3rvey (just a friend)

use TweetDeck, and set up some "saved search" columns. Try "Likaholix" for instance to see anything that's being posted about it on Twitter... or "FriendFeed" or whatever... find the conversations, reply, and enjoy. - Nathan Chase

I don't get Twitter either. The return on time invested seems very low. - Thaths

I fail at Twitter and have come to terms with it. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Don't get Twitter either.For starters, why the 140 character limit? Why?! I follow some twitterer-pros in the hope of finding something good. Most of the time i find myself reading tweets that are only part of a conversation and i just wonder what the conversation is really about. - Nik

I'm with you Bindu. I started on Twitter and now can't remember what the draw was. - BEX

Andrew, I don't think most of followers are really "legit" followers.... Also most of tweets are updates from Likaholix. So very few real tweets. Anyways am going to give it another spin and now I have my twitter account linked to Friendfeed. Maybe I will do better this time - Bindu Reddy

Mahendra and Ha3rvey thanks for following me... Followed you guys right back. Maybe we can get a conversation going :) - Bindu Reddy

You're not alone. Twitter is just my dumping ground. Everything here automatically goes there. (Everything also goes to FB.) That is somewhat useful, though. Through a series of "tubes", I can create an hour-by-hour journal of my FF activities thanks to Twitter. - Kamilah Gill

Search for your interests, or follow bloggers that you like, check out who they're conversing with, and then try to join the conversations. I think Kol posted a thread here where people could give links to their Twitter accounts. You could try following some of those, too. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Perhaps there is nothing about Twitter to 'get?' - MVB (Grinch of FF)

There are conversations on Twitter? - Alejandro

Not in the software sense of having threaded conversations, but I regularly converse with contacts over Twitter. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Bindu, this is a very funny thread. You could be a stand-up. If you are in a clique on twitter then you can have some good conversations but quite disjointed imo. I go to twitter to read the latest news or journalist's in and around the WH. It's all who you follow. Don't expect a FF experience there. - Myrna

Btw, just visited your twitter site. Do you really have an apple allergy or more 'stand-up'? I like sense of humor. Oh, good tonic for allergies. - Myrna

I wish that were a joke... No, I really do have a apple allergy - Bindu Reddy

But...but...but...you told me you were a Mac user. - April Russo (app103)

I have been on Twitter for over a year and have over 2000 followers. I still don't really get it, and mostly just crosspost to it from Friendfeed. I see it as a "poor man's chatroom"... lighter weight than a forum, but it's been hijacked to manage conversations with the elegance of a ferret attempting ballet. I hate replying to @s, but feel obligated to do so. And I hate that I feel... more... - Adam Lasnik

Doesn't have the conversational depth of some of the other social we hangouts. Makes it somewhat trickier to navigate, I think. - Martha

Just lower your expectations. Then lower them some more. Then you're a quarter of the way there. Keep going. - Akiva Moskovitz

Akiva: LOL! - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

OK, I'll help you get the hang of twitter. Just think of it as one great big IRC channel where everyone is on ignore by default (and for good reason). Now go find the ones worthy of unignoring and follow them. If it helps to put things into perspective and allow you to wrap your head around this method of communication, do it old school, with tircd and xchat (xchat aqua on Mac).... more... - April Russo (app103)

I prefer FF over twitter and facebook, but all my friends are on twitter and/or facebook. Maybe facebook will get it right this time now that it has acquired FF. If they simplify it a bit more without removing functionality. Then I would spend a bit more time on FB. Lets hope all goes well with the merger. If not I'm jumping ship and going over to Google Wave. oh wait, I'm going to go with Google Wave regardless! ;-) - Captain Jack

@scobleizer i can speak english and i beg you to remove bann from all russian friendfeeders, because we are all from it-community, working in internet companies and we came with peace, you asked for feedback from friendfeed addicts — we show you how really it is being frf addicts, we change names, we chat, we making things that are not serious. Why so serious? Unlock people, they are not bots, they just playing the game of real addicts and have fun. Common. - ideali

shaun: I started this post to demonstrate that a lot of us are still here and aren't likely to leave. At least not quickly. So, life goes on after FriendFeed gets acquired by Facebook. Point proved. - Robert Scoble

Hector: good morning! I need coffee. - Robert Scoble

@robert yes they (we will) stay here, I think tat the migration process will take time and after reading @Paul Bucheit, I think that what we all are trying to get even if we don't say it explicitly is to preserve a kind of intimacy (beeing a part of the Huge faceBook community) don't mean that FF community will preserve their intimacy, why should a community be a plan one, (let imagine a community as a set of sub-community) that all. - abdellah

@Robert RE "I have enough noise in my life. I don't need to have more" - isn't it a lot of noise having 26K subscriptions and 46K subscribers on your frf account?

@Robert, patience? Who's talking about patience? It's about curiosity, not patience. When something strange and unusual happens around you, you can either try to stop it or try to see what it can develop into. You choose to stop - and it stopped. Well, not stopped - just moved to some other place. And do you really know what it was and what it was about to bring you? - Махатма Бугоганди

I just mention the 1500 mark since it was such an iconic query to see... that and the 500 Likes club of FF posts. It's pretty exclusive stuff... but it's also sobering to note that the subject matter required to get to these levels isn't always a uniform mix of cares/concerns. - Jay Cuthrell

While you are at it, add a "Keep classic FriendFeed alive forever" -link. kthx! ;) - Jemm

Very clever, and very easy. - Evan Travers

It does not appear until certain number of comments are made. This is really nice because if it appeared twice in proximity it would not look nice. - ashish

Now, can you add a collapse comments feature? I hate having to scroll up or down for what seems like miles and miles of comments just to get to another post. - April Buchheit

+2 - Jim Norris

We really wanted this when we were conference blogging--will be great for next time. - Ruchira S. Datta

+1000 April - yes, i've wanted that for a while, too ... please :) - Susan Beebe

Nice start. That means I can almost uninstall the Greasemonkey script that had been doing this for me for the past month or so. Now could we also get a link to collapse the comments again. Pretty please? Oh, and why no "Like" link at the bottom as well? - Alex Schleber

ooh yes, a link at the bottom to re-collapse comments would be great. or maybe even every 30 comments or so there could be a re-collapse link. sometimes i expand and regret it in short order. - Felicia Yue

Happy to see this :-) and happy for Myrna too - Majento

hell yeah!!! Friendfeed rulz ever, please dont fusionit with FB xD - Francisco Espinoza from BuddyFeed

nice! - αяf

now that I Like'd this post to show it to my friends, I keep receiving comments to it in my IM, most of them rather predictable. Is there a plan to add a @mute command that would stop the streaming of comments to a certain post to IM? - 9000 from IM

i am (maybe not an addict) - Anand Sharma

I'm with April - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

it's more... don't bother building the parts nobody cares about. see what people do talk about and build that instead. - joshua schachter

I like it. It's got major potential! - Andre P. Siregar

It's a pragmatic choice. And also lets the user base feel involved in the whole process. :) - Nicola D'Agostino (nda)

Paul Buchheit

Obviously I can't provide a lot of detailed plans and guarantees, but I can tell you that I'll do my personal best to ensure that the FriendFeed users and community are treated right. I love this product too, and don't want to see it disappear.

Good of you to recognize. - Bill Kinney

Thank you, Paul. Hearing something is always better than hearing nothing =) - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I think this was a smart move fore FF and FB - Joe Hall

What about the service? - Amit Morson

Ok - Matthew DeVries

That's a start. Thanks for reaching out. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

Thanks Paul. - sean percival

Thanks Paul - Mike Doeff

We don't want it to go either. - Yolanda

I would not expect any less from such a cool guy like you, thanks! :) - Susan Beebe from iPhone

Please keep it going for as long as you can or until you can make Facebook actually work. - AJ Kohn

That's heartening, Paul. Thanks. - Admiral Anika

Thanks Paul! - Darren Heydon

We love you guys and FriendFeed.. we are just a little hurt and worried.. just please give us details as soon as possible. - Tim Hoeck

FriendFeed lets me use people as filters to turn data into information. Facebook doesn't. Until it does, please, Please, PLEASE keep FriendFeed as a destination alive. - AJ Kohn

congrats guys! facebook needs what you got! - Lorna Herf

I'm sorry that I haven't said more about this. As you can imagine, it has been an extraordinarily busy day (and I've barely slept in the past week). - Paul Buchheit

I'll add my plea to the chorus: Please don't take FriendFeed away from us. And don't make us go to Facebook (because we won't). FriendFeed means a lot to a lot of people and the thought that it will dry up and blow away shortly is very disturbing. - Fa La La La Lindsay

It's still great to hear from you Paul. Congrats on that new swimming pool full of cash. :D - Chrimmus Tad

Simply glad you're here now. You've always been a very responsive and transparent team. As much as I cringe at the thought of FF going away, I *am* happy for you and the team. - AJ Kohn

Thanks Paul. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Thank you kind sir. - Andrew Smith

I request you make it to the next scheduled FFundercats podcast to talk to the community. This announcement deserves a live appearance to the community. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

Have been dealing unsucessfully with Twitter for two days, trying to get logged in...Their password reset page says"Snap we can't find you." I keep writing to Tech Support at Twitter and get their helpful auto-generated Twitter Trouble shooting email. My problem is not there. =( Hope FriendFeed does not get that blaise about helping users. @EV - SashaKane

If FB can't keep the service running, would you consider open-sourcing the thing, so we can? - Christopher Galtenberg from iPhone

Hi Paul, thanks for the assurances. In the future, I would highly suggest that you make this sort of statement shortly after the initial merger release. Thanks again. - Alex Scoble

Thanks for keeping the passion! - Shane

Nice to hear Paul. Thanks. - Mark Krynsky

I would like to give you a hug right now Paul. However, that would be awkward and April might beat me up so I will just say thank you and press the like button. - EricaJoy

Best news I have heard today. - Angus Burton

Thank you for affirming that. Much appreciated. - Karoli

A few more points that would be nice to have addressed soon. Ability to export data, tool to import friends to Facebook, and will ff.im urls continue to function? - Mark Krynsky

Amelioration?? - heretic_twit

Those that like friendfeed as is should be most pleased with this statement, as it probably means maintenance to keep the current system as is, without as much attention to new features. It's also good news for all those who like both friendfeed and facebook, as facebook will likely adopt the better features from friendfeed - Ivan Kirigin

That means an awful lot to me. - James (!?)

This has been quite a day! Can't wait to hear what is next! - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Thank you, Paul. Thank you for coming out from behind the curtain and finally giving us some communication, some semblance of hope. - Akiva Moskovitz

Thanks, Paul. - Mistletoe Glen

So we can expect a Facebook adaption of this? I like this technology over everyone else! - Shaggy Jenkins

Eric, my schedule is still a little uncertain at the moment, but I'd be glad to appear on a future FFundercats. - Paul Buchheit

That would be a good thing Paul. Thanks. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

Cool :) - Susan Beebe from iPhone

I like this. - ashish from iPhone

Thanks for making FriendFeed what it is, and lets hope it stays that way, though there's slim chance of that - Aaman (Clone of FF)

Now that I think about it: are you kidding me? They've already stated that FriendFeed's going to be absorbed into Facebook. What kind of sleight-of-hand are you trying to pull now, Paul? - Akiva Moskovitz

@EricaJoy: I have nothing against hugs. :) - April Buchheit

Thanks! - Vincenzo Piromalli

Thanks, Paul. I've been getting more and more depressed thinking about the bad ways this could go. The reassurances help a bit, at least. In fact, just hearing you speak on the point is encouraging - the open lines of communication between the FriendFeed team and its users has always been one of the great things about FriendFeed that I'm afraid will be lost with the Facebook buyout. And yes, a FFundercats appearance would be a great idea. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

I don't want to read too much into this reassurance but the "personal best" remark made me think like there is not a united FF anymore and that it's up to your personal efforts to prevent it from being eaten by FB :) - Turker Keskinpala

you can sell the tech but the community can not be bought sold transferred or merged - Robert Higgins from f2p

Turker, I do believe that this deal was the right decision -- I'll write a bit more about that when I get a chance. I say that I'll do my "personal best" because I will -- it would be misleading to make promises on other's behalf :) - Paul Buchheit

Hoping so... practicing patience - Majento

Paul: I'm hopeful that this will be the best for both Facebook and Friendfeed. What you and the staff at FF have done is amazing, with only 12 people! I love the service here. I also enjoy Facebook (one I ignore all quizzes and stupid apps), but in a different way. Hoping some coolness can be brought to both. Good luck to you and your team! - Travis B. Hartwell

this echoes star wars galaxies, incredible unique community. but they upgraded it to be like world of warcraft. this is a replay of the devs soothing messages. the forums were livid the community evaporated. - Robert Higgins from f2p

When socialmedian was acquired by Xing they left it alone. I hope the same happens here. I'm sure you will do your best though! - Michael Fidler

http://friendfeed.com/akiva... - Akiva Moskovitz

On behalf of the Dutch citizens our Queen wants to let you know: Thx Paul. - Ton Zijp

Don't know what to say, so lets start with big congrats! from one hand, as an early member of Friendfeed I think we've created here a very cool, collaborative and tech-savvy/passionate community of great people that all probably wish to stick around as much as possible. From the other hand, I know how corporates work and it takes one small decision of share holders to close Friendfeed... more... - Nir Ben Yona

My first reaction is disappointment. I don't believe big corporations do better than small ones. Facebook is inferior to FriendFeed, although it's user base is much larger. Clearly FriendFeed won't survive in the long term, unless it is open sourced. Why not open up and embrace the wonders of the GPL instead of joining forces with the Walled Garden no #1? Facebook don't even operate with permalinks,. - Morten Blaabjerg

Thanks for the explanation Paul. Of course, I congratulate you guys. I think anyone would do the same thing if they were in your shoes :) - Turker Keskinpala

Very bittersweet clicking [Like] on this one. - Nicholas Kreidberg

A big congrats for you guys.. However, I feel kind of sorrow :) - Ozkan Altuner

good to hear - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Thank you - but I would very much like our content to stay intact. :) - Mona Nomura

Of course it is, Ryo. - Christopher A Carr

Ryo: if you delete your account everything goes away. I totally disagree with you about Facebook, but that's OK. - Robert Scoble

Good to hear. Unfortunately I think Facebook are going to download the brains of all FriendFeed staff then kill FF. - Michael McGimpsey

but Paul it is going to disappear - Facebook bought FF not for the site but for you guys. So obviously once its integrated into Facebook, development on FF will stop - Anthony Feint

If FriendFeed and all of it's functionality get integrated into Facebook I'm all for it. - Hugh Isaacs II

Thank you Paul! Congrats on the deal! - Garin Kilpatrick

Paul - that's great news. It surely can't cost a lot to keep this place running and it's a good place to try out ideas before they move to FB. - Martin Bryant

what about improving the product and making sure it gets more users, not only supports those who stay? - Ihar Mahaniok

Ihar - unlikely. Facebook bought FF for the developer talent, not for FriendFeed itself. - Martin Bryant from iPhone

Martin - I also think so, and it is most likely. But I could still have a hope - Ihar Mahaniok

Paul, please - underpromise & overdeliver...they say it works. - A.T.

Nice to hear. Too bad you don't call the shots anymore. - jcunwired

FriendFeed is Dead! Long Live FriendFeed! (nice name for Facebook skunkworks) I'm sure everyone would love to see FriendFeed itself stay around, even if the innovations that happen are geared towards implementation at Facebook. Thanks for this note Paul! :) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

There are a few promises and guarantees that you SHOULD be able to provide. Like, that our network of friends will remain intact and that the features that make this site great will remain. If you can't make those promises, then you shouldn't have done the deal. I sure do hope that the real-time search engine wasn't the centerpiece of this deal (it probably was), because that certainly... more... - Brad Williamson

Paul you did such a nice job with friendfeed, and I so want to believe you, but I'm not sure I can. Not because of you, but because of your new employer. Because your new employer is no longer you, and while I have kind of come to trust you, I do not trust your new boss. Not at all. Please prove me wrong, if they'll let you. - Jim Is Not Smart

Paul - thanks for that reassurance. PLEASE stick to that! I was in the middle of reading and participating in a lengthy discussion off of a Robert Scoble post yesterday ... then I came up for air and saw your news. Congratulations - I have no idea what that feels like or how pumped you must be. There are so many things FF does that I LOVE...I know you know that. Please Please PLease dont' go away! Thanks! - Tobin Truog

Thank you, I think everyone here loves Friendfeed. :) - Hunt from BuddyFeed

Thanks for the personal note Paul. - Mike Reynolds

Phewww..relief ;-) - Ritu

This is nice to hear, and I really hope that FriendFeed will keep on living. I still have some pain in my stomach because of this :/ - Patrik Johansson

First zombie/mafia request and we're all outta here.... - Fossil Huntress

+1 Fossil Huntress The partitioning of the networks between friendfeed and facebook was a major feature that many people made use of, lacking appropriate controls for who sees what. Merging the two groups of friends isn't going to work, at all. - Mr. Gunn

It doesn't sound like you understand what has people worried. I wrote this to help: http://friendfeed.com/brlewis... - Bruce Lewis

And we'll appreciate this man! Try to do your best to help FF :( - FFTornado

Maybe Bruce analysis is too imaginary, but the question is THE question nobody answered: why did you do it, Paul? - Luca Sofri

I left a response on Bruce's entry (http://friendfeed.com/brlewis...). I'll write more about this on my blog when I get some free time. - Paul Buchheit

Thanks. - Bonnie Foster

we all know what needs to happen. the question is, where? ... FB needs, - apart from being/it is, a large, general, open application platform, - 1. Smart keyboard shortkatze - and Im a kbsCzar to go to, 2. Aggregating facilities, smart /RSS/ .. 3. Full blogging facilities, capabilities, not 140 chars. 4. Full real time comments facilities, capabilities. 5. Real time, live, but ALSO... more... - Petr Buben

I hope you're being open and honest with us. This time. :( - Kamilah Gill

Good to know , we´ll see :) - Yahya

Thank you! I am sure you will do great things at FB. I just hope that the great app you built here isn't destroyed. I don't know of any other aggregation app that I can embed into my site like this one! - beersage

Congratulations on your successes, best wishes for more. And thanks for continuing to look out for us loyal, addicted FFanatics! - Rob Schieber

I hope it continues, i'm a new user and absolutely love it (wish i knew the value of it before)! Congrats! - Luis D. Santos

As nice as it sounds I'm sorry to say that as a, now, Facebook's employee I'm afraid you'll have to comply to whatever your new boss tells you. Didn't MZ make it clear? - lelapin

and let me add second, obvious, "Facebook needs" - Friendfeed bookmarklet, and Friendfeed tools - widgets, embedding - real time and not - of posts, and groups ...to embedd, to inject oneself into this thing called Internet ..... so, if FB listens to FF engineering long enough, they are going to get it .. right - Petr Buben

Paul, what I am worried is not that you're brainwashed, but that there's simply no business need for Facebook to improve FriendFeed from now on, period. - Ihar Mahaniok

I have confidence Paul. While some of the comments were probably uncalled for, covering an investment (of time and money) in these times to move on and hopefully provide even 'better stuff' makes sense to me. It's pretty obvious there are a LOT of people that don't want to 'lose' Friendfeed. (I wouldn't hold a town hall for a few weeks though :) - Charlie Anzman

Congrats, Paul. It's sad that people have to make these uncalled for hatred comments about Facebook though. Why can't both sites work together. I think Facebook will do better with FF and vise versa. Take the good features of both services. Don't boycott FB, enjoy it. I'm sick of the negative comments going on, that's all. :( - Molly, "sorry"

Molly: What makes you think there's going to be a "vise versa?" - Christopher A Carr

Because I don't think Paul and the other FF developers would allow FB to do anything. I'm sorry, I am not going to think negative here like some here are. I guess I'm a fangirl for FB. - Molly, "sorry"

Finally something about the changes on the horizon that isn't all d0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0om and whining. Thank you, Paul! :D - Christian (Simply X)

The time to think about how you could do your 'personal best' to ensure FriendFeed continues to exist was prior to the discussions with Facebook. Not after. - Andy C

Paul, what about the content scam that FB T&C is, does it apply to Friendfeed now? Should we all start writing scripts to retroactively delete all content ever uploaded to Friendfeed? Elaborated a bit here - http://friendfeed.com/mbravo... - Michael Bravo

We know you'll try your best, Paul. But sometimes, you just can't win the dark side... - Winston Teo

Thanks Paul for all your efforts. Founders often want the best, but acquiring companies often have people with political/power issues or different/limited visions. - Mitchell Tsai

*throws a sheep at Paul* is that a good thing? - Joe from iPod

Yeahhhhhhh BOoooiiiiiiiii!!!!!!! - sofarsoShawn

yes, thank you, Sergeant Paul ... well, good to hear we go on ... because if not, how about starting www.anotherFeed.com ... or, www.Letsgofeed.com ...... anyway, lets boost blogging capabilities, post more than current amount of chars, lets have TOP POSTS / clicks count list at the head of each group, some stats, lets index group headers, lets have MORE keyboard shortcuts .. - now ...... more... - Petr Buben

Jim, no, not unless you ran chsh python sometime in the past. :-) But it does shrink the distance between code and service. Many startups when they start have a codebase similar to a shell script. - Daniel Dulitz
