what's the issue man? - Hernan Garcia

The issue is about the horrible Terms of Service revisions for the PlayStation Network. - pcnerd37

Here is the blog post I wrote about it talking about some of the big problems with it. http://globalgeeknews.com/blog... - pcnerd37

Yeah, terms of service revisions are just like Sony. I don't have a PS3, and I'm selling my PSP. So I'm done with them anyway. - Fleagle

I will be covering this issue tonight in the Global Geek News podcast. I will likely be streaming the recording and am still looking for guests for anybody interested. - pcnerd37

i'm confused - Zee.

WTF? - Hernan Garcia

Hernan: Just a need! ; ) - Erhan

I like it!! his butt's on the floor! LOL - Susan Beebe

LMAO (http://tinyurl.com/LMAO-LMAO) - AJ Batac

there we go: 'like' vs 'lmao' - tunç kılınç

I'm not sure if FriendFeed needs added complexity to the user interface. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

Is this "What the Shit?" instead of Like? - Victor Ryden

i like it and i love the graphic! hilarious. - Admiral Anika

Hey co-founder of button, Tunc Kilinc! Where is your press release? What is "LMAO" button? Have we got a business plan? Or a funding directly? : ) - Erhan

Great idea Erhan! :-) - Kyle Lacy

AJ: Having a real "LMAO" moment with other 21,495,157 viewers! Oha LAN! : ) - Erhan

Erhan, shhh... ;) Seriously, I think "Like" is enough. What we need is "DNL" (Does not like) - AJ Batac

I've been asking for DisLike for some time. - Victor Ryden

haha, ok. have my vote!!! - Hernan Garcia

what about ROTFLMAO? - Pete Delucchi

Kemal: Bayılıyorum arada böyle yapmaya : ))) Öğrensinler Türkçe'yi GG olmamak için onlar da : )) - Erhan Erdoğan

well, big guys from FF seem like ignoring you erhan! you deserve better :) - tunç kılınç

"oha lan" :D - Yasin Jason

The mouse-over text isn't right though... - Laurence Gonsalves

Yeah, that's one of xkcd's "things", You should click thru to the site to see the mouseover. I only discovered them after I'd been reading xkcd for a few weeks (how slow am I, lol) and it brought a whole new level of understanding to the whole thing for me. - Slappy Line

WOoOW! - Maryam Ardakani

always loved xkcd! - Selma

Love XKCD. Hate FF breaking the mouseover. - James Polley

... breaking the mouseover makes you click through to xkcd though... right... I mean otherwise you'd miss the hidden message! - Ross Miller

بچه‌هاي فرندفيد: اقايون/خانوما. بياين حال اين خارجكيها رو بگيريم و تو اين كامنتدوني شروع كنيم در مورد اين تصوير كامنت بگذاريم.لطفا نظرتون رو در مورد اين تصوير بگين - mhmazidi

ترجمه کامنت قبلیم: واو! سمایلی مگه ما سادیسم داریم؟! :دی - Maryam Ardakani

@mhmazidi اتفاقا این وب سایت رو خیلی وقته که دنبال می کنم...کمیک های خیلی خیلی جالبی داره...فقط یک کمی سنگینه و گیکیه به قول خودمون ...چیز جالبیه بهش سر بزنید گاهی ... (اسمایلی این هم سهم من در کامنت فارسی) ه - Selma

it would be nice if friendfreed could perform some basic translation if the user set it that way ;) - Hernan Garcia from twhirl

Ich "mag" Hernans Kommentar. [Translation: I "like" Hernan's comment.] - Philipp Lenssen

hehe ...i think we have managed to provoke some curiosity :D - Selma

haha, you're totally right @Selma - Hernan Garcia from twhirl

new methods in cooking - atalmatal

Is there any decent automated Farsi <-> English translation system available on the web? - Jim Norris

I believe that's Farsi, not Arabic? - ⓞnor

Yes it is Farsi (Persian) language ...and no ...as a professional translator I have not seen any efficient automated translation system for it yet (some students here are working on that), especially since the lines here are written in a broken informal style which makes it even more difficult to convert. - Selma

Selma, care to comment on the general jist of the conversation that took place in this thread? - Mark Trapp

Oh lol…definitely... sorry! Dr. Mazidi just commented there to share the picture with the Persian Friendfeed users as well as letting the English users know we do need a translating system ;) … I commented on the fact that I have been regularly following xkcd (I'm not a geek…it's just a phase that I'm going through :D) and advised others to do so as well… Navid was wondering why we were... more... - Selma

I love this!! Thanks Bret!! who created this? too cool! - Susan Beebe

down with xkcd - niniane

I see what you did there, niniane. - Slappy Line

Haha, thaks Selma. I was wondering what was going on :) - Mark Trapp

Am I the only one who finds it annoying that this story is constantly being pushed up due to comments? I understand the point, but I've seen this on my FriendFeed every day for the past week and a half - Bartek Ciszkowski

bart: my subconscious had the exact same reaction. I love xkcd but I was getting sick of this one. I guess it's time to start using the hide function. - Alex von Halem

Bart, hide feature, I believe you two haven't met. I'll leave you two to get acquainted. - Mark Trapp

Heheh. Because we can. - Robert Scoble

And now, I will. - Soulhuntre from twhirl

http://is.gd/hkp - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

Here here! - Mick Liubinskas

We can do both :-) - Andrew Dobrow

Well, I'm replying in both Friendfeed and Twitter at the same time. :) - Morton Fox

ya coz we can.. and we like Friend feed - Vinodh Nandakumar

this comment will show both on friendfeed and on twitter - unless you see it frist on twitter, in which case it will also be on friendfeed - martin english

I comment here because I don't get abused for answering Tweets here. - Robert Scoble

I also comment here because the answers are threaded. I also comment here because I can permalink to a cluster of comments about a single Tweet. I also comment here because people can "hide" this conversation if they don't like it. - Robert Scoble

oh dude, I see this being a blog post by morning! :) - Paula Hawk

Getting a little viral, isn't it? - Mohsein Sani

I didn't know you could comment on friendfeed. - Jim Vrckovski

FriendFeed works, Twitter is down all the time. Twitter is a platform, FriendFeed utilizes this platform - for me, in the most useful way I've seen so far. (It's web-based, it allows conversations.) - sebmos

I don't put most things on both FriendFeed and Twitter. Why? I keep getting told I'm too noisy on Twitter so I'm using FriendFeed to reduce my noise. In fact, I've just told everyone to come over here instead of continuing this conversation on Twitter. Conversations aren't really good on Twitter. What is? Answering the question "what are you doing?" - Robert Scoble

Agreed with Robert. I really like the parallel nature of the Twitter / Friendfeed symbiosis. - Soulhuntre

This definitely looks like it's going to get viral! - Vinodh Nandakumar

Twitter need to make some sort of threaded comments system. - Richard Cunningham

I've thought of a better way to handle replies. Msaleem's original message is number 812534216, so to reply to reply @msaleem:812534216 which would map onto http://twitter.com/msaleem... which should also be backwards compatible. Then clients could track the replies in a thread - Richard Cunningham

@ Richard Cunningham My first impulsive thought is : Threads would destroy twitter - Kamath (नमः)

ah, but we can do both! :-) - Duncan Riley

because it is another conversation thread that is easier to follow than on twitter and connect to other like minded people. - Rodney Rumford

I would use this more if Twhirl would just give me a sound stating someone replied to me. Also, threads are only one level on FF. Twhirl could technically do the same thing with Twitter - why not? - Jesse Stay from twhirl

Jaiku already has multi-level threaded comments. It's Google's fault that people aren't using it. - Morton Fox

Also, Quotably allows you to thread your replies to any tweet you want. - Morton Fox

You brought this on yourself, you know.... - GerryBot

Twitter is not intended to keep conversations. Let's try to keep what it was born to and then, if the tweet is interesting enough let's move the rest to FF. - Hernan Garcia

I think the biggest poblem is when people are adding comments that add nothing to the situation at all. Or when they are just rambling on and on about the same subject or make REALLY long sentences that clearly show that English is not their main language and that get lost in constructions that are hard to understand and you can clearly see that the commenter did not even take the time to read his own comment to see that it lacks proper structure and grammar. But it's like it's with cliffhangers, they are - Ruud van Wijngaarden

So sick of ppl telling me where to leave my comments. I'm sorry, but I'll comment anywhere I damn well please. Period. Get over it. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

I agree with Shey. Recently, a friend of mine deleted his FriendFeed account specifically to stop me from replying to his stuff from here. - Akiva Moskovitz

See the 'choice' as a plus. It just takes a few seconds to come over here and look? - Charlie Anzman

Because we can't comment on them within twitter. I like the whole idea of comments. I wish I would recieve more comments on my friendfeed! - Cade Brown

When someone comments on Friendfeed (in lieu of Twitter), it should be a form of a compliment, showing that you have a higher level of exposure. - Zak K.

appears to be, web and api calls aren't happening - Chris Jones from twhirl

Yup. Intermittent at best. - Brad Farris

"It's not dead, it's sleeping." - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)

It says no for me, but it's clearly down. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

I'm fairly new to twitter. I've never seen it this badly borked. Has this happened before, to anyone's recollection? - Brad McCrorey

I think the more PC view is that this is yet another "Twitter Holiday" - Chuck Lawson

istwitterdowndown? - Ontario Emperor

It looks like Twitter has been down for 2 hrs and 15 minutes. - Russellreno

Republicans have jobs. they wouldn't bother wasting they're life here. why would they bother? they know this is nothing but a den of elitist people that have no life ;-p - Noah David Simon from twhirl
