We've got tabs!

The new skin looks great. The "everyone" tab is pretty useless though, since the signal to noise ratio is so low. Do you have any plans to filter the feed to make it more useful?

Pretty. It would be keen if the "share something" button could be somehow tucked away (while still being obvious), it takes up a big wad of vertical...

@m13a — Right between “me” and “everyone”… how about “recommended” fed from those on your http://friendfeed.com/setting...?
- John Lam
cool guys... when will kevin work his magic and give us a full blown "FriendfReader" ;-) ?
- Rob Hoeting
@John Lam: The regular friends' feed already has items in it that your friends liked or commented on.
- m13a
The prettiness I like. The fact that the tabs are now distributed in 3 different locations I'm not enthusiastic about (friends/me/everyone .... friend settings ... account/sign out). It feels to me like it adds complexity. When I leave the friends tab to find functional detail X, my thought process is something like "where is that pesky X buried again?" It's not like I think of my...

Very nice, love seeing this product evolve while we use it.
- Loren Norman
I think I like the tab distribution. It separates the options and settings away from the main functionality. And it's pretty!
- Christopher Black
=j1m: I think making all your settings reachable from the "me" tab (which could be "my account" or something) would make sense. "Friend settings" is a weird phrase, too. Fortunately FF is simple enough that I can exhaustively search it to find any particular thing.
- ⓞnor
Looks neat. The clickable left-hand icons are non-obvious but I suppose it's not a feature you would want often anyway so I guess that's OK. The blue on top is a nice tone that gives a sense of location and identity around here, it also makes the logo look better and gives a focus on the the minimalist design and color below it. Not sure how often I'll use the "everyone" tab but...

The light blue is also nice for setting off "mechanism" from "content".

I love the look but scrolling seems to be really slow and jerky on FriendFeed for some reason now. I'm running Windows XP SP2 with Firefox 2.0.0.12. Is anyone else seeing this?

Scrolling OK on Mac OSX 10.5.2 with Safari 3.0.4

I like the way when I click on the flickr icon it dynamically creates a flickr tab. Very spiffy.
- j1m
Specifically, it would be nice if I could filter the "everyone" feed so that there are only English items in there. It would also be good if I could specify services not to include in that feed (such as twitter).
- m13a
...and by "English" I meant "English language". (Comment editing doesn't work for me in Opera on OS X.)
- m13a
"Specifically, it would be nice if I could filter the "everyone" feed so that there are only English items in there." Or perhaps everything defined in the browser's language options (http content negotiation).
- Philipp Lenssen
Looks good. Splitting the rss between me and friends would also be goodly. The Share Something could certainly move into the tabs, as well.
- Ashton
Just a thought on the tabs - any chance of an option to make the new tabs that are created (when you click on people, etc.) sticky, so's I can go back to them easily after checking back on my friends tab or whatever?

Suddenly this post rises from its grave?

My MacBook is on its fourth hard disk. Terrible. So I just got a MacBook air with the SSD drive. That'll learn 'em.

Oh, and I like the Air a lot. It's much easier to carry than any other 3 pound laptop -- because it's thin. And pretty boys and ravishing girls ask me if they can touch it.

Our home is a Mac laptop haven. I'm using my MB Pro right now. It also runs VMWare Fusion so I can attach to Outlook where I need to. If it's a choice between Windows, and Mac, then it's a clear choice. Windows should never have been an operating system. Instead, it should be an application. It's a fine place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.

I've been using Mac notebooks for about 5 years now. My 15" 1.67 Powerbook still works fantastic after over 2 years. In fact, it's still my main computer.
- Christopher Black
I have been working on Macs at college and work since 2001 and have enjoyed Mac OS X ever since. I was hesitant to get one for myself due to the IBM G4/G5 processors they'd been utilizing (couldn't resist a secondary Mac mini though). As soon as Apple switched to Intel's fast Core 2 Duo processors, I ordered a Macbook Pro and have been very happy with it. I haven't had a problem with it...

I have been a happy MacBook owner for 2 years. If I had to do it over I probably would have gotten a 15" Pro for the bigger screen. I'm planning on upgrading to MB Pro 15" and max disk for it as soon as Apple refreshes the Pro, which should be soon. I also use Parallels which is great.

Do you have a Mac work laptop? If you don't, try trading in your Thinkpad for a MBP for a while to try it out.

Have they invented right-clicking on Mac laptops yet? I'm not being an ass, I'm legitimately curious. Last time I used one, the answer was no. (and I'll admit to being a little bit of an ass, ok).

I got a macbook pro when I started working at Facebook. 1 in 20 times it takes a while to start up but otherwise it is very reliable. I love the interface and find it so much more convenient than a windows machine. I will never go back to windows.

my four year old ibook g4 hard drive just crashed yesterday roughly 12 hours after I backed up 16gb of pictures over 5 years. i'm going to get a new Mac soon, not sure which one, yet. @mark- option click is right click on Macs, you learn to use it right after so many accidental clicks.
- rick
@Steven Hodson, there's a direct correlation between being a "Cranky old fart" and being a Windows addict. You'll note we Mac users have a happier lifestyle and are generally more pleasant overall. :-)

I generally feel about Windows (especially since Vista) the same way I feel about the Republican Party. That is, not close to what I want, but the closest thing to it I'll ever get.

I've had a Macbook Pro since they were first released and it has been amazing. (I love OS X) I've had the hard drive replaced once by Apple and replaced it with a 250 gig drive myself. I've replaced my battery once and upgraded the memory. Overall, it's a great laptop and I'd recommend it to anyone.
- Brandon Titus
It's great for me (I have a Macbook) because it's got the ease of use but still has the all powerful terminal. I do all of my work in a terminal (vim, screen, and irssi are all I need)...before the Macbook I was running Ubuntu but that meant sacrificing "fun" things like iPhoto/Safari/Aperture/etc so I could get real work done. The Mac lets me do both very easily (plus my work bought me it :P)

Hi, I am in India and my first laptop is a Macbook which I got last month. I learnt everything on windows, worked on Ubuntu but Mac beats everything hands down. Its totally worth it. Macbook AIR can wait. My suggestion would be to get a Macbook Pro 15" or The white Macbook, black no way. BTW, you can install Goobuntu in your mac. Hope it helps.
- Dilip Patharachalam
The Apple Store is down right now. This is usually a sign of Apple either adding or changing something major to/in their product line. niniane you might be lucky and your wish to get a Mac laptop might coincide with an update.

My experience has been positive... did have a HD crash about three months ago, but luckily I had just bought Leopard and was all Time Machine'd and they replaced for free. I'd suggest an iMac, though, unless you really need to be portable.

oh, warning. my best friend bought a macbook pro 17" and can barely lift it. and she's 5'9! get the 15" or smaller.

Mark: I believe you can configure it so putting two fingers on the trackpad and tapping the button equates to a right click. At any rate you can always control-click to the same end.

I've been running OS X on a Powerbook for almost 4 years (my first mac). It took a little while to get used to it, but it gets in my way less than any other OS I use (though Ubuntu might be close if I were to invest the time there). A week after I bought it, it came off the roof of my car, landing corner-down on the concrete - warped the sheetmetal, but the screen survived. It went in...

Kevin, how does that help? I mean, it's nice that this functionality is at least available somehow, I guess. Your point is that this is better than if to get right-click I had to start up X11 and enter something at the command line?

I bought a MacBook Pro 15" just after they came out early in 2006. It was my main machine until I joined Google when I got a work one. I've had no problems with either of them - the first one is now setup in the kitchen at home with a 23" monitor and used there. Best machines I've ever owned. When travelling to other offices I just hook up the MBP to a 30" monitor and continue working :-)

I bought a MBP a few months ago and I love it. I've now abandoned Windows pretty much completely. I use VMWare Fusion to run the few programs I still need to run on Windows.

I've had one for about 6 months; came from XP: Be prepared to reprogram your fingers for various keyboard shortcuts. I miss Picasa2.

So much more reliable. Now that there's bootcamp, there is no reason not to have a Mac
- Neil
@Chris White: Bootcamp is not a virtualization environment. It facilitates dual booting, i.e. it supports a parallel and exclusive installation of Windows. The loss of flexibility (that is using Mac OS X apps simultaneously) is made up for by direct support of the hardware. You might need this for 3D accelerated games for instance or to have more RAM available in Windows.

Don't just borrow one for a week, borrow it for a month. I'm really happy with the switch to Mac. Parallels works well enough (but it does cause my computer to freeze once in a while, which _is_ bogus.) Most of all I find that there are some places where keyboard shortcuts just blow chunks, I find myself having to go to the mouse all too often.

the main reason facebook is interesting to me is the news feed. i used to check facebook every day, but now i just use friendfeed instead and only log onto facebook once a week or so. friendfeed is much more relevant & interesting than fb news feed. it includes the people i actually want to track (as opposed to old classmates i haven't seen in years) and also lets me track people who i don't know personally/socially (like interesting bloggers). http://www.jessyoko.com/blog...
- Jess Lee
I agree with Jess. And this suggests a slogan: "Friendfeed: stalk interesting bloggers"
- j1m
It's interesting that they chose to pre-announce this rather than just releasing it. Nevertheless, it's not really a surprise, and I think it'll be good for everyone because it provides more distribution for all apps, including FriendFeed. Hopefully it will also lead them further down the road towards opening up an Atom/RSS feed of their own news need, just as all these other services have.

Daniel, http://Multiply.com offers that ability to post for different groups.

It's funny how trivial the change was. I made a new table to story the content of a story (as a longtext) and have a foreign key from that to the actual story.
