Mona, poster names are still links they're just styled differently so they don't look like the other links.

- Peter Dawson
Love it. If this does not go mainstream, I don't know what will.

OK: That's a long enough beta period. Let's do it live!

I want to start a pool -- (a) first blog to hit techmeme with an article on the re-design, (b) blog with most articles about the re-design (within 2 days starting now)

Michael: if you're viewing your feed from the main address, there is a 'sharing' box up at the top, and the options (comment, photo, link) appear once you begin typing.

click on your name Jennifer, above right
- Tibor Holoda
@Jennifer "My Feed" in the sidebar replaces the "me" tab. And like Tibor said, your name works too.

you launch this right after takeoff from scoble to berlin - coinkydink? :)

@Stupid Blogger: Thanks, I'd figured that out, was just pointing out what seems like a bug in the current UI.
- Michael Nielsen
Looks nice on first glance, and it seems easier now to reach rooms. The friend lists should be a great way to organize my imaginary friends which are basically topic subscriptions. The "Add/ Remove friends" link is confusing at first because when you don't have any friends in the list yet, clicking it will result in nothing (making you wonder if it's broken). The message sharing post...

Looks like the logo now clicks to the Friends view, as you'd expect. Same as You + Friends.

Awesomeness, very useful, and solves the biggest problem of noise reduction! great!
- Aditya Kothadiya
awesome! Working now. Anyone know if there is a pagerization greasemonkey script yet for the beta site?
- Thomas Hawk
thanks for the iteration.. it's a great step forward
- Travis Parsons
like the new functions, but not the new layout, it just doesn't look like friendfeed and a bit feel like google groups (caused by the side bar maybe). miss the old layout...

We need a "remove from home feed" button under the friends settings. Or there must be an option that we can choose the list which shows on main page. For example, i want to see only "Professional" friends' feeds on the main page.

So many small details and improvements, make SO much difference.
- Martin Añazco
At last, I will be able to add to my feed all the people who subscribe to me, and it won't impact on my main source of infobrainment. It looks nice, too. Looks like you guys have pulled another one out of the bag. +1

I'm truly amazed at how good the UI is. The subtle touches like the use of blue links in just the right places or the contextual help like "How does hiding work?". Really great job. I think mioNews just became a little less useful to me, since FF now natively has friend groups. Oh well :P
- Patrick Lightbody
It has a great feature in allowing me to separate different people into different lists - that will be worth the whole interface change in itself. I hope that rooms also have embeddable feeds tho!
- Justin Long
FF is in a frenzy. This is 16 hrs old and 3rd on my Best of the Week. Congratulations Bret and team.

@Marcos: you can hover your mouse over the comment bubble in front of a comment to get its timestamp.

I uploaded my health info there..another aspect of my life outsourced and I am happy about it

This is kind of scary . . . especially being in a country where data is not as well protected as in Europe. Of course that means that I will probably end up using it in about a month with no reservations ;)

getting people to opt in is going to be a lot easier than convincing the providers and hospitals. they'll have to be dragged into the future by patients and consumers.

As the internet sucks up more and more of our private information, it is a little unnerving. I still like to be optimistic of the potential good that can come of this, but I certainly hear what lyndon is saying. Our data needs to be better protected and the potential for some really bad stuff is unnerving.
- Phil Ashman
BEYOND frightening. And as I pointed out months ago when they ran their test with the Cleveland Clinic, not covered under HIPAA or any other privacy legislation. No, thank you, Google.

I dont believe this - 2 hours after I log into Google Health - I get an unsolicited email into my Gmail box asking my to join iMedix.com - WTF - how do they know my email address ? And this give me confidence to load my medical data on Google Health !!!!
