Re: To use iBooks Author or not - http://www.loopinsight.com/2012...
"Perhaps I wasn't clear (author of linked post here - howdy); my point is that if I use iBooks Author to create an ebook and wish to sell it, I *must* sell it through the iBookstore, according to the EULA. Since that is an understood ramification of using iBooks Author, I chose to cover why that part won't work for me, either.  I'm well aware that I can create content with other tools beside iBooks Author and sell that content where I choose (since that's precisely what I've been doing for the last 18+ months), but that's not what the post was about. [EDIT] And, as I said in the post itself, I'm more than willing to be wrong about any of this. If I'm misunderstanding any of this, do tell me and I'll fix it." - Brett Kelly

We have received numerous reports of excessive FriendFeed posts showing up in Facebook this evening. While we are not 100% sure, it appears to be an issue on Facebook's end due to ignoring application settings. We have disabled all FriendFeed updates to Facebook until we are sure the problem is resolved.
See http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... for more information - it seems to also have impacted Twitter's Facebook app. Again, we are not sure if it is a problem on our end or not, but we are investigating now. - Bret Taylor
Thanks Bret! FWIW when I checked the FF app settings in FB they were not the same options as I saw when I first set the app up. - FFing Enigma
my freindfeed application is not working on facebook, and fr rest of.. - Madhav Tripathi
Click. Flip a switch and that's it. You guys rule. - Pete D
Thanks, Bret. I've disabled it on my FB page and hope that cures what ails me. Appreciate the FF peeps being on top of it. - Derrick
Yet another reason I'm happy I don't have a FaceBook. :P - Trey Crossan
Good thing I only posted once to Twitter tonight. The duplication only happened once. Thanks for letting me know. - Louis Gray
Yay for communicative admins! - Brett Kelly from iPhone
*looks at own FB account* HOLY SHIT, WTF?!? - Joe The Sausage
Yep, I have drug references now due to not having context. Thanks alot FB. Thanks alot. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
I had the same with Twitter - Mo Kargas
Thanks Bret! - Andrew C (✓)
No problem, if I knew it was on your end, I wouldn't have cared, but thanks for letting me know about the situation. I was confused because it happened right as I was trying out a new twitter game. This was compounded by the fact that the game has no controls for turning off public messages. I'll bet they plan to add them later, but right now they want everyone to hear about it. It’s a... more... - Michael Fidler
Is it fixed? I'm afraid to go look:) - Michael Fidler
So, is it fixed?Every tweet, every everything is showing up as individual news feed posts for all my friends, this is too much and I'm likely to piss them all off. Options ... 1.Stop tweeting etc. 2.Ditch the FF Facebook application. Hmmm, it's a no brainer. Anyone got any updates on this? - Michael M Bailey

What is your FF Comments/Likes Ratio? (Comments divided by Likes to 2nd decimal place - as of now) - http://flickr.com/photos...
What is your FF Comments/Likes Ratio? (Comments divided by Likes to 2nd decimal place - as of now)
1.05 (670/633) - Micah from Bookmarklet
Can you remind me again where to find those stats? - Brian Johns
Brian, go to "Me" link (http://friendfeed.com/brianjo...) which defaults to the Feed tab. Look at the sidebar on the right, below Discussion. - Micah
0.75 (926/1226) - still relatively new here - mikepk
I only see my stats for the last week (17/14 = 1.21) Please tell me your 670 number is for more than just a week! - Brian Johns
1.44 (566/391) for brianjohns (after week tally you should see a comma then 'all time' count - I can see it on your page) - Micah
OK, sorry. I'm a total dumbass. I stopped reading after the weekly totals... - Brian Johns
3.74, which seems way off of everybody else's. I wonder what that says. I comment a lot more than I like. - Cyrus Lendvay
FFers use FF with their own strategy or simply default tendencies. The ratio is an interesting snapshot of behaviour. Thanks for joining in everyone, hope more keep flowing in. - Micah from twhirl
0.79 - Brian Roy
0.77 - Eric
0.67 - Nine
0.77 - Shey
0.76 - FFing Enigma
1.39. - Rochelle
1.61 - I only 'like' when I want to throw my support behind a topic but don't have anything constructive to add. - Bjorn Stromberg
1.12 - Tinfoil 2.0
5.08 (3181/626) ! - ◄ani625Ξ ಠ_ಠ
0.66 - I tend to 'like' things without needing to comment further, I guess, and I notice I usually like the things upon which I comment. Well, frequently. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
.39 (2457/6242) I guess I don't comment much. I do 'like' a lot of things, it would seem. - Bren
0.62 then again i have over 11,000 comments - Cee Bee
1.23 (5287/4229) - I am put to shame by Cee Bee's participation, good grief! - Lindsay
@Cee Bee I think you meant 0.62 - ◄ani625Ξ ಠ_ಠ
1.27 (902/705) - Leandro Ardissone ⍨
yes, thanks for the correction. lindsay, you're making me feel bad. lol - Cee Bee
0.8576, I only like mostly when I'm going to comment - Mol, FF Music Lover
1.55 endlessly repeating. This Like/Comment included. - Dana D
before this comment: .69 I kid you not. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)
So far: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81 ... (if you average 1 comment per like, you'd be 1.0 ... if you're 0.xx you might herd content more than discuss ... if you're whole numbers above 1 you may not 'like' much or discuss plenty or both) - Micah
CSV_A: 1.05,0.75,1.44,0.81,3.74,0.79,0.77,0.67,0.77,0.76,1.39,1.8,1.61,1.12,0.141,5.08,2.41,0.66,.39,0.62,.62,1.27,0.8576,1.551,0.69 - Micah
1.83 - Grant Bierman
I tend to like allot of photos which really don't need comments. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)
InPerpetualMotion(Gina k), I really liked this 'Like' of yours (in a series of pics, so I flickr fav'd it): http://friendfeed.com/e... and commented. Thanks! - Micah
.37 1002/2708 - Michael Fidler
this is what scobes walls would like if he didnt have FF - sean percival
I haven't seen Marc Canter's fabled fence (just heard about it), but I imagine this but on wood pickets :) - Micah
This week: 2.48 (1162:467) but this is not the norm, my likes usually match or are higher than comments, overall: 0.95 (14228:14846). - Kol Tregaskes
Thanks Michael, Kol! I'll recalculate average/median when we build up some more data points here. - Micah
1.03 748/723 - Keith - @tsudo
.68 6986/10194 Someone wrote a great article on the comment-like ratio a few months ago. Search on FriendFeed is crashing on me... I'll try to get the link. - Mitchell Tsai

I've got stuff to say. - Kevin Fox

2.94 - j1m
Thank you, j1m. Ok, I'm gonna roll this up into a csv and call it a night. - Micah
CSV_B: 0.95,0.7,3.46,3.98,1.02,0.15,0.34,0.52,1.31,0.56,0.16,1.39,4.62,2.63,0.15,0.52,2.94 - Micah
this week = 0.45%, alltime = 6.43% - chaz2b
CSV_B Mean: 1.49 (previous mean for CVS_A: 1.27) - Micah
Of course the numbers can easily lie, but I'm gonna say it anyway: "We're getting more conversational, people!" - Micah
0.49 (493/988) - Bluesun 2600
816 / 2502 = 0.326139089 overall | 50 / 233 = 0.214592275 this week I like much more than I comment. (maths via google) - Chris Loft
3026/5013 = 0.6036 - Roger Chen
chaz2b, Bluesun 2600, Roger, Nicholas — thank you! - Micah
5.25 but I don't know what this *means, yet. maybe I'm just stingy with my "likes" compared to others? - Marg Uerite
Thanks jamar78 and Marg! - Micah
A recent change in FF: now the comment count shows total number of comments (previously multiple comments in one thread only counted as one) http://friendfeed.com/e... so all the numbers above are from the old methodology.... - David HC Soul
My new ratio: 0.76 all time (old methodology .52).... this week 1.39 - David HC Soul
*bump* - Micah
1.26 (2965/2346) - Micah
Thanks, Glen and pea! - Micah
Looks like my ratio as flipped again (comments back to dominating again). Seems to match my own awareness I've lately been commenting without Liking (commenting is my inherent recognition of value to me and the additional Like is when it merits an extra bump to help discovery by others). - Micah
.38 - Ryan Dadey
Ryan, I have to say, that's one high caliber ratio ;) - Micah
An update it's .44 which is an improvement from .36 - Michael Fidler
1.5 exactly - Ahsan Ali
2.94 1040/354 I have likes set to post to twitter automatically, so I'm careful with them. :) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
0.85 - Steven Perez
0.73 up from 0.66 on Jan 08 - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
0.37 for the week past, 0.45 on the whole. - Parth Awasthi
Michael, Anthony, Ahsan, guruvan Steven, sıɹɥɔ and Parth - thanks for dropping in your stats! - Micah
5.81 i'm not using it as does everyone else here. that is fer sure. - Marg Uerite
But remember, the comment counts also includes comments imported from other services. - Ahsan Ali
Ahsan, huh, I'd never considered that. - Micah
17942/30571=.59 - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Alex, thank you, sir. - Micah
ALmost 2:1 exactly. - Amani
Much obliged, Amani. - Micah
3062/5777 you do the maths. - Will Higgins™
.53 (3062/5777) for Will Higgins #math-on-demand-services - Micah
Thank you, amin/gnu - Micah
1.45 (4374/3026) - Micah
0.92 now. I think the movie reviews have been getting me closer to a 1 to 1 ratio. - Steven Perez
Steven, yep, you were a 0.85 in April. - Micah
2.10 now ... - Amani
0.97 now. - Eric Johnson
Amani, so your comments have climbed a bit. - Micah
Thanks, Eric. - Micah
yes, but i am not consciously "not liking" things - Amani from IM
Probably, just chattier then :) - Micah
I'm down from 7.16 to 6.94 :-) - Ken Sheppardson
the live NBA playoff threads have ALOT to do with it. - Amani from IM
Ken, the FCC may be interested to explore how your "I'm down" may be offensively self-deprecating ;) - Micah
.56 eeep, must try harder - Threepwood
4.52. I don't bother to like things I've commented on, since commenting already flags it as interesting. - Andy Bakun
0.46 (1698/3638) - Glenn Slaven
Threepwood, Andy, Glenn - thanks (Andy, that's my mo too; then I'll Like if it warrants a "double vote"). - Micah
1.31 (4,471/3,401) - Karoli
Thanks, Karoli. And the both of us have a _very_ similar ratio and absolute numbers. wow. - Micah
Thanks, Ryo! - Micah
Andy, scroll upward and you'll see a couple calculations from before (January: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81) - Micah
In March the Mean was: 1.49 - Micah
1.021276595744680851063829787234042553191489361702127659... via Wolfram Alpha - tom murphy
Thanks, tom. And though a bit verbose, your friend Wolfram is resourceful :D - Micah
0.55 (254/444) - Willem (@wim66) ☠
Thank you, Willem. - Micah
In April you were 0.97, so you're liking more / commenting less. - Micah
1.88 (779/414) - Ton Zijp
Thanks, Ton. - Micah
0.43 (3597/8305). - Parth Awasthi

Parth, compared to your April numbers, you've been consistent. - Micah
2.12 is my ratio. - Rick Cogley
Thanks, Rick! - Micah
Np Micah. What is that photo? - Rick Cogley
.54 (4148/7674) Updated! - Michael Fidler
Rick, you mean that face with glasses I photoshopped tint into with an apparently disembodied arm which is actually very much attached to my eldest son? It's mostly just me :) - Micah
Thanks, Michael. Yes, you have a rising tide of comment percentage (oh, wow, you were one of the originals from January - cool!) - Micah
1.82 from 798 comments / 438 likes - David Damore
Thanks, nivé and David! - Micah
2027/1594 = 1.27 - Brome
0.58 - Marc Dong
2.9 (3,242/1,116) mhhh.. time to straighten my use of FF a bit.. thanks for this entry - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Brome, Marc and Thierry - thank you! - Micah
Thierry - yeah, 2.9 is fairly high - got to pick the pace on like side :) [but hey, whatever works for you is fine] - Micah
Thank you Nicholas and MiniMage! - Micah
Yeah, that's a decent upward rise in comments, Nicholas. - Micah
.6 (6,000/10,000) 3rd update - Now it's time to flip this on its head. My goal is to have (16,000/16,000) next time I post here. Regardless of what happens, I'm just looking forward to the next 10,000 comments, likes, posts, and new relationships I make here. It's all good! - Michael Fidler
1.76 (7539/4290) My commenting habits haven't chanced much, but it felt like I clicked Like a lot less, and this ratio confirms that for me. - Micah
It's that time again. - Micah

.82 as of right now. edit: on January 8th it was 0.39 -- when I saw that, I decided to make more of an effort to comment. When I hit 10k "likes" I decided I wouldn't "like" anything else until I also had 10k comments. - Bren
.11 - Penguin
And thank you Jimminy, Pete, Bren and Penguin! - Micah
2.47 as of right now. - Jonas, Leper of FF
Micah, are you doing something with these numbers? If so sounds interesting. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
Jimminy, I'm copyrighting every single number. It's kind of a honeypot ;) Actually, it was curiosity mostly, but I also hope to build a sampling (small and self-selecting as it may be) for anyone who might want to analyze it. - Micah
Jonas, James and Kurt - thanks you! - Micah
You're welcome. I hope the results do some good. :-) - Moody (Sweet FA 4 Life)
.31. I have almost 4 times as many likes as comments. - edythe
Thank you edythe and Eric! - Micah

Thanks, Tom. - Micah

SuezanneC, Brian, B E N and Joe - thank you all very much! - Micah
Joe, it's like see the odometer click through a nice round number - it's just inexplicably engaging. :) - Micah
1.40, nearly the square root of two. - Vezquex
Thanks, Raphael and Andy! - Micah
1.15 (6777/5873) - JA Castillo
12.23 (844 / 69 ) I guess I take my likes seriously ;) - Chris Myles
1.63 - Serkan Mutlu
Wow I didn't realize I was so out of whack!! 12.23 that's got to be a record (and I don't even import my feeds with the summary as a comment)!! - Chris Myles
.87 - Nine
Thanks JA, Chris (wow, 12+ is unusual :), Serkan and Nine! - Micah
Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments).. - Chris Myles
1.78 (8529/4782) - Micah
Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever. - Micah
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience. - Micah
383/372 - Ashish
'Just clicking "Like" seems too easy' — Jason, that's because you're from the Chatty-ite tribe :) - Micah
Thanks, ashish. - Micah
wow, what a difference time makes, when i 1st posted on this thread, 6.43%, now = 1.25%, for a 5.18% difference, :o (and this is the earliest post to date i've recovered of my activity on ff) - chaz2b
chaz, I think there's been a big fluctuation for most people (maybe not that much). This is the oldest post on which you commented that you've recovered? - Micah
When I first saw this: 1.91 Sept 28: 1.94 - MiniMage, enterRUPPted
536 comments in the last month has me at .8736...still creeping toward 1.00 - Bren
Thanks, MiniMage (2x participant!), Bren (3x!) and Shannon (your inaugural visit!) - Micah
Thank you, SustainedEuphoria. - Micah
I 'liked" this to change my ratio! (1.22 1040/850) - Mark J

.5666 currently (30,084/53,093) - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Thanks, Bren. - Micah
Thank you, Alex :) - Micah
that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while... - Bren
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically. - Micah
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better. - Bren
Thanks, Sarah, Tutivillus. - Micah
1.19 - Joe Bonner
Micah this is like 11 months ago, I see you have almost doubled your rate. lets make a graph for everybody now, :) - ۳۰ مرغ Loves Y'ALLLLL

Jenny, resistance is futile; embrace the rising tide of comments. - Micah

Re: Samsung, Google Cancel Event “Out of Respect for Steve Jobs” - http://www.macgasm.net/2011...
"It seems plausible to me... sorta. Apple couldn't have postponed the 4S launch, I don't think, because Jobs' passing would have eclipsed any Apple product launch for weeks after it happened. I think that the more likely reason for this postponement is that nobody is going to pay attention to the Samsung/Google announcement because the world is still too focused on Jobs and Apple to give a crap about yet another Android handset." - Brett Kelly

What is your Last.fm URL? Add me here if you like: http://www.last.fm/user...

Don't forget about the FriendFeed group on Last.fm too, more details here: http://ff.im/62vKL #whatsyoururl - Kol Tregaskes
We are already friends Kol but just for fun: http://last.fm/user/niczak - Nicholas Kreidberg
Cool, thanks, Nicholas. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
I was gonna say...doesn't the FF group on Last.fm take care of this? - Spidra Webster
I finally found one person on my friends' list who we are "Very High" - Shevonne
MWM has a last.fm group at last.fm that you may want to check out - RAPatton from iPhone
Low? Strange, I like (and listen to) most of your top artists. http://www.last.fm/user... - Marcos
I think you befriended me on it, but mine's http://last.fm/user/vmlemon. - Tyson Key
Crud - dropped this on the wrong FF post. Ah well! Sorry to whomever I apparently spammed! http://www.last.fm/user... - Ciaoenrico
And frankly, I like adding friends with whom I have a low compatibility. It helps me hear music I never would have found in the first place. I never would have listened to a lot of my favorite music if someone hadn't said, "just try it." - Ciaoenrico
Heh, "Music you have in common includes ABBA and Depeche Mode"... - Tyson Key
Last.fm profile exchange? I'm at http://www.last.fm/user... - Czar
Haggis, your link didn't work. - Kol Tregaskes
Fossil Huntress, you have the highest compatibility so far. Low but still the highest. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
ABBA and Depeche Mode are killer. Whose said that? Whom should I be friending there? :) - Ciaoenrico
No me. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Czar, yep basically it is. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Your musical compatibility with koltregaskes is Very Low. Music you have in common includes Sneaker Pimps, Hybrid, Snake River Conspiracy, VAST and The Boxer Rebellion. (that's because I listen to a lot of obscure stuff) http://www.last.fm/user/app103 - April
http://www.last.fm/listen... BTW, I send my Blip.FM feed to Last.FM. I fell asleep several times while listening to Blip, so there's some music in there that I don't necessarily like. But, for the most part, it's mine. - Michael Fidler

Welp. Ya'll have been friended and oddly enough I only had 4 with high compatibility. Lucky for me that means there is a lot more music our there that I need to be turned on to. Thanks, Kol! :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

Re: Back to Work #17: Episode 17 - 5by5 - http://www.disqus.com/people...
"So much of what hangs people up when it comes to priorities is honesty, both with themselves and with others. I'd venture to say that most of the priorities people struggle with were imposed upon them in the past, either by people or position, and have been around for so long that they're just assumed to be appropriate.  When a poor guy/gal is hamstrung with a bunch of stale "priorities" that don't match up with what they really want out of life, you get somebody whose creativity and drive is disappearing bitterly behind the shadow of all of the things they'd love to do/create, but feel (read: assume) they simply can't. Taking honest stock of how much you *actually* give a crap about something is, IMO, the only way to unearth the pursuits that really (forgive me) motivate and inspire. Just my $.02 - looking forward to the show!" - Brett Kelly

I'd venture to say that most of the priorities people struggle with were imposed upon them in the past, either by people or position, and have been around for so long that they're just assumed to be appropriate.  When a poor guy/gal is hamstrung with a bunch of stale "priorities" that don't match up with what they really want out of life, you get somebody whose creativity and drive is disappearing bitterly behind the shadow of all of the things they'd love to do/create, but feel (read: assume) they simply can't. Taking honest stock of how much you *actually* give a crap about something is, IMO, the only way to unearth the pursuits that really (forgive me) motivate and inspire. Just my $.02 - looking forward to the show!" - Brett Kelly

"Hi Chris, You can't currently password-protect entire notebooks (or even entire notes, for that matter), but you are able to encrypt regions of text within a note. If you highlight a portion of a text note and right-click, you'll see the option to encrypt it. Be careful not to lose your password, though, because not even Evernote staff can decrypt the text without it! -Brett (Evernote employee)" - Brett Kelly

"One of the best things about Evernote is that you don't necessarily haven't build a complex scaffold around your data if you don't want to - in most cases, a good command of the search grammar is more than sufficient to find just about any note within a minute or so. Have a look at this article I wrote on the Evernote Knowledge Base for more information on advanced search: http://evernote.com/about/kb/a... Cheers!" - Brett Kelly

"Hi Josh, The Evernote database is highly optimized for the application itself, but if you export one or more notes as .enex files (HTML is the other option), you can open and manipulate them using any plaintext editor (Notepad is one, but you'd probably want something a little more powerful if you're hand-editing XML).

Hi Friendfeed. I just unfriended *all* of my Facebook friends. I want to hang out with you guys again. How's everybody been? Also, are we still without an awesome iPhone client?
Pfffft. Suck up. ROFL - Anika
Official iPhone client? Nope. There are BuddyFeed and FreshFeed though. - AJ Batac :)
@Anika - well, the Facebook friend bit wasn't so much a "look what I did for you, my old friends!" thing as it was a "I'm making sweeping changes and I want to rekindle what was once an awesome FriendFeed thing before I got all *busy* and shit." Besides - you know you love me :) - Brett Kelly
HA! Yes...and it will be nice to see you around here more often. - Anika from Android
And yes, Buddfyfeed is great. - Anika
I was using BuddFeed and all of sudden - I keep getting an error. I am going to delete and re-download it to see if it was user error! - Paulette
Actually FFhound is much more up to date than any other FF app in the field and generally better, so go and buy it, it's nice. - JSLeFanu
Just bough FFHound in the app store. Maybe I'm missing something, but this thing is a huge turd that looks awful. - Brett Kelly from iPhone
FFHound is my favorite FriendFeed app. AND I AM AN EXPERT IN THINGS THAT I FAVOR. - Akiva
@Brett Kelly: you'll find it supports a lot more than the other apps. Try posting to multiple groups with BuddyFeed and see how you get on. - JSLeFanu from FFHound!
@Brett Kelly: one thing I did find is that it takes a while to get used to it's implementation of gestures. Swiping is tricky at first. - JSLeFanu from FFHound!
FFhound is pretty good considering they're supporting a service that most other iOS developers wrote off a long time ago. You didn't ask, but on Android there's FFhound but also YouFeed which is good (but no real-time, the principle advantage of FFhound in my view). - Micah
I find the /iphone/ interface to be more than adequate. Except for the inability to upload photos from it on my android (is this some kind of iphone limitation and I'm forced to endure on android?). Need to use the "regular" interface for that. - Andy Bakun
well said @Micah that's a relevant point. These guys came to the game long after everyone else took off including the fucker responsible for Sterl who launched with promises of updates shortly before the sale and then just dropped the whole project because it wasn't worth it. - JSLeFanu from FFHound!
Andy, what do you mean you can't upload photos on FFhound for Android? - Micah
I can't figure out how to display the comments for an item in FFhound. Tapping doesn't work, nor swiping. - Brett Kelly from iPhone
Oh, ok. Swiping *very* carefully is the trick. Got it. - Brett Kelly from FFHound!
Swiper: no swiping! - WoH: Minding her Botts
Well I did say the gestures take a bit of getting used to, didn't I? In any case the trick is to use the lightest touch. - JSLeFanu
