I'm a very inconsistent blogger, but here it is: http://supherb.posterous.com/ - Herb Hernandez
http://jezlyn.posterous.com I really like using it to feed content to my Wordpress blog and other sites at the same time. It's the only easy way I know of to e-mail posts "to" my Wordpress.com blog. - Cheryl Jones from BuddyFeed
Mine is http://twiddle.me but I don't use it very much - Mistletoe Glen
NIr, that's a great idea on embedding FF. - Kol Tregaskes
Mine is http://ahr19.posterous.com/ .. gonna start to use it more. - Amani
Kol - it's great how one FF post can start a little movement. I've used it more today than since I signed up whenever a long time ago. Thanks. - phil baumann
Hey cool, Phil. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Kolin: u can add the FF widget as well to the side bar ,just go to the profile and post the (instead of javascript choose image) over here http://friendfeed.com/embed... you can see it at my posterous http://loopper.posterous.com/ I got this tip from http://friendfeed.com/svartli... - Johni Fisher
this posterous: http://this.posterous.com :) - directeur
How do I embed my FF stream on Posterous? - phil baumann
posterous is so quick uploading 3gs video to its sites ... amazing - johnpiercy
I've embedded this thread on a Posterous entry: http://e-lusion.posterous.com/what-is... :-) - Kol Tregaskes
@phil couldn't you do the embed feature... ? post something to posterous.. and then 'edit' the post and paste the embed? Or maybe simply email it? - Sean
Phil, click on the 'Share' link of the FF entry, then copy the embed code. Create a new Posterous entry, select HTML mode and paste in the embed code. You'll need to edit the width and height (looks like 500 for width). Then post. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
@ Phil Kol beat me to the explanation - Sean
Kol I made the same :-)) - Johni Fisher
Kol - thanks. - phil baumann
I see, commenting via my Posterous entry. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
What is the best width? 500 seems good? - Kol Tregaskes
Kol - is there a way to embed in the sidebar (I've seen others place it on their Posterous). Not just a post... - phil baumann
Phil, see Johni's comment above. - Kol Tregaskes
http://revrev.posterous.com but I rarely use it. - mike fabio
Use 100% as the embed with instead. Looks a lot nicer. - Svartling from email
Does that work with both the embeds and widgets? - Kol Tregaskes
Only with embeds. It's too bad we can't email these friendfeed embeds directly to Posterous. They get garbled. I've tried. - Svartling
My Posterous profile: http://posterous.com/people... - Svartling
It flows through here, usually just for photos: http://lagtime.posterous.com/ - .LAG liked that
Svartling, shame we can't do that with the widgets, it looks untidy on our profile pages. Yep emailing would be cool. - Kol Tregaskes
Maybe some of the Posterous developers see this and could add that feature? Please :) - Svartling
Good thread; got some new subscriptions! http://notratched.posterous.com - Megen
Don't forget to tag your posts like this ((tag: posterous, friendfeed)) in the subject line of your emails. That way your posts will be seen easier by all other Posterous users when they use the global posterous search. - Svartling
Svartling thx again :-) - Johni Fisher

Kol, I don't embed FF that often, only when it comes to interesting threads :-) - Nir Ben Yona
Nir, either way, a very good idea. Thank you. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Thanks guys. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
My Posterous is http://quackofdawn.com (using my own domain) - Quackofdawn

Yep, useful, can embed any FF entry anywhere you like. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
http://midorinpolou.posterous.com/comic-c... that's my recent entry @ posterous - polou/indigo_bow
I tried embedding a twitter gadget on my posterous profile but it did not work.. How do you embed your friendfeed profile? - David Gross from email
David, I'm not sure it accepts all HTML. For the FF widgets use the image not the Javascript version. - Kol Tregaskes
Kol, yes I see.. I added it, I guess Twitter does not have anything but javascript and flash widgets.. It doesnt matter, since I autopost to twitter there is a button there.. - David Gross from email
http://posterous.com/people... is my profile where you'll find a couple.. - Mo Hall
How do you all add the little twitter and friendfeed images with links to your profiles here on posterous. I don't know the code to do that. :( Help when u can. - Amani
http://mylescrew.posterous.com/ Right now I'm just testing, the import from Blogger was REALLY easy. I'm trying to "port" BlurbBits (http://ff.im/4tlY2) to make them work better on posterous. The iframe style parameter gets removed, which is different than Blogger (there is *always* something). - Chris Myles
Amani: If you set up autopost, they will appear. Here's the link: http://posterous.com/autopost - Nick in Manila
Amani, the little images for twitter etc you get if you autopost to those sites but you might end up with duplicate posts that way. There is a friendfeed badge you can put in your posterous profile at http://friendfeed.com/embed... use the image format, not javascript. - David Gross from email
Check out Wayne Suttons Posterous (he posted his URL in this thread). You see that he has changed some colors. That is a private beta feature that is coming soon to the public. - Svartling

I've made a fast Posterous post on how to add a friendfeed widget to the Posterous sidebar. See it here: http://pingmicro.com/how-to-... - Svartling

@koltregaskes, my posterous is at http://alexschleber.posterous.com "Quick Hits Business Mindhacks". Had been using it quite a bit the first 6 months of this year. I'm a big fan of Garry & Sachin, but really wish posterous would hurry up with some of the much needed feature upgrades (skins and/or CSS, Retweet button - just use Tweetmeme, custom sidebar HTML, WYSIWIG bookmarklet, etc.) Seems like they're stalling a bit right now, no? - Alex Schleber
They have to be careful not to mess with the simplicity of it, though; that's why so many people like it. If they tart it all up, it might as well just be Tumblr. Which already exists. - Megen from email

What's your source? Newspaper http://news.google.com/news...? Blog? Digg-like? Press release? - Jérôme Flipo
Done correctly, this would be EPIC! - Craig Eddy
@Jerome, press release - Zee.
I need to play this. Good thing it will be out very soon. - Raphael, Raphael
@Jerome it is a story in mashable now - TrafficBug
I knew it was official http://blog.monopolycitystreets.com, my problem is that Zee doesn't always point/refer to his sources :( - Jérôme Flipo
Their servers crashed. Doh :/ - Mattb4rd
I told you Jerome, my source was a Press Release but it didn't include the URL because it wasn't live yet. - Zee.
And I do always point to my sources when I have them. - Zee.
I went there around midnight and it wasn't up yet. Tried it again around 2pm and got the Apache test page. I read that the servers were overloaded, so they're setting up more. Users took a poll and chose to restart the game so people have a fair chance at good properties. - Raphael, Raphael

Yeah, an exploit in one of FB dating applications was used by 4chan to bring some 'entertainment' to Facebook... http://www.reddit.com/r... - Marcos
this is a good reason to make high attention when we choose web services that can access to our FB password (specially a dating application) - Roberto
Ah. The "love cave" bit did seem a bit much. Not cool, 4chan. I wonder if potential employers can appreciate the subtlety of a situation like this? Tracy didn't write this, yet it has her name and picture on it. Can Facebook remove all traces of a hacked account like this one and then set a person up with a fresh one? (I doubt it.) - Kamilah Gill
Ah, 4chan. - j1m

Wow the ultimate FB Poke eh? - Janet
I still think the picture is funny - in the sense of how NOT to use the update box. I'm torn a bit - because I feel that people should be responsible about passwords and what online services they use, so she holds some of the responsibility. But Scott's right. This was a 4chan hack-job, and should come down. Her privacy has been compromised - even if the image does still make me laugh. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

People, read The previous comments. A Christian Dating site was hacked by some people in 4chan (you can actually download a file with their login and passwords).

Svartling
Scoble, your blog still loves you - http://www.scripting.com/stories...
All the effort he poured into FriendFeed is for naught. They sold to Facebook. In the announcements, no mention of the users, and certainly no mention of Scoble. Now would have been the time for them to tip him, throw him a few thousand. Or if not money, how about at least a hat-tip -- an acknowledgement of the help they received from users, esp Robert Scoble. Nothing. They didn't even give him the first interview. - Yes it's kinda bad behavior... - Svartling
"Our blogs are still there, [...] they're still ready to share our ideas and connect us with others." Indeed. - Stefan Rimm
Bullshit. So Scoble evangelised about Friendfeed. So what ? So did Louis Gray. Even I got two mates to sign up. What are we owed ? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. - Andy C
How many lines of code did Scoble contribute ? Zero. That's how much he is owed. Jesus - Winer winds me up so much, I think he owes me $5,000 for therapy bills. - Andy C
Ha :) But we could say that Robert Scoble marketing friendfeed quite good, didn't he? He mentioning it all the time, but anyways. Now it doesn't matter. - Svartling from iPhone
Stefan Rimm: that's what I tries to do with My Posterous blog. I try to get the discussions and connections there now. I think it works great. http://pingmicro.com/ - Svartling from iPhone
In truth, I don't think that Robert really expects much from his evangelism, other than the followings, and publicity he receives. And in that respect, I think he's come out way ahead evangelizing FriendFeed compared to Twitter. At least the FriendFeed crew has treated him right. And I have to disagree that the effort was for naught because they've sold to Facebook. Robert's certainly... more... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Love the irony Andy... whining about winer... lol... :o) I agree though, they owe Robert nothing... - Rob Sellen :o)
guruvan: Is Robert Scoble on Facebook now? Has he decided to go that way? - Svartling
Svarling, Robert's been on Facebook for a long time. He's not as active on it as he is here, but has some 15,000 fans on his fan page. He's spoken pretty highly in the past of the opportunities Facebook has with regard to advertising, friend recommendations (likes of products and services etc). - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Ok. I just wondering where he will go, because it sounds like he will leave friendfeed. - Svartling
It's sounded like he would leave Twitter too :) But just because Robert's not finding something as interesting doesn't necessarily mean it's not useful. Once it's not interesting, it may well be that it's become a necessary tool, but not exciting to evangelize. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Yeah that's true. Thanks for your great comments- - Svartling
Svartling makes a good point above. Just cause Scoble didn't contribute code, doesn't mean he didn't add value. Every good company has a marketing department and dozens or more of other departments that are not development/coding related. They're not irrelevant because they didn't code the site. On the other hand, I agree with what many have said above. Friendfeed doesn't owe him... more... - Kevin Arth
Thank you Kevin :) I don't think FriendFeed owe Robert Scoble anything either, but I still thinks he has done much for friendfeed. - Svartling
Kevin is right. FriendFeed doesn't owe me a thing I already got my value out of it. And, anyway, if they did pay me something all my "power" to get other people to try new things would be gone. - Robert Scoble
I still think we should all just hang ourselves with our clothes on :) - Jeunelle Foster

"You can share any large image you find on the web with this amazing new service from Microsoft Live Labs. Of course, everything featured here on MakeUseOf is free, but there’s more – there is no need to sign up anywhere. Just go to Seadragon and enter the URL of your image. It processes your image link and gives you URL that you can tweet, share on Facebook, or bookmark on Delicious, or whatever you wish." - Michael Fidler from Bookmarklet
This is worth checking out! - Michael Fidler
Is...Microsoft...wait........ Is Microsoft starting to wake up? ...from a bad dream? Should we start cheering for Microsoft now, or is it still too early? - sebastian☆rocket brother
I'm cheering for them. I think they are reinventing themselves. It's not Balmer; someone else is doing all of this. Ray Ozzie perhaps? - Michael Fidler
This is so cool. I'm going to try this with the highest resolution image that I have, which is really really big! I have something to do first, so give me 30 min. - Michael Fidler

Hmmm....something about the design of Microsoft doesn't sit well with me...the clunkiness? the Live logos? I don't know. Just turns me off. Also, I just read this yesterday or so about some Microsoft product they're working on that will only be compatible with IE and Firefox only. Why not Chrome, Safari, Opera? ...It just feels closed and protected as much as possible. - sebastian☆rocket brother

Mahendra; My pleasure! I think it's awesome, and I 'm looking forward to using it. I spent some time in livelabs today, and the photography division is one their most creative area's. This blew me away; Yosemite Extreme Panoramic Imaging Project 2008 http://xrez.com/yose_pr... - Michael Fidler
Wow, that is superb! Thanks for sharing. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Note to self: Don't 'friend' your boss on FB and then bitch about your job.
FB.jpg
Owned. - Johnny
El. Oh. El. You gotta be some sort of stupid to friend your boss before your probation period is up. Fired in front of friends and family? PRICELESS. - Admiral Anika
She's a f*ing idiot. A similar thing happened to a friend of mine at an ad agency, who accidentally texted "my boss is a fucking cunt" ... to her boss. She didn't get fired or reprimanded, but she freaked out about it. - LANjackal
It floors me how much people openly vent about their jobs on public feeds like FriendFeed. Even if your boss isn't a direct contact, how are people so sure that a boss or co-worker won't stumble across it? - Mike Doeff from iPhone
If I have complaints about work, I try to mask them as much as possible or make them more about me personally than the job itself. At the same time, I really try to stay mum about any job I have.. - Jon, the Chilled Beartato
Mike and how are you so sure that other people don't know who you are talking about? There's a person here on FriendFeed who complains about their coworker. Even though I live in a different city, I know that coworker. - Admiral Anika
+1 Anika. I generally refrain from talking bad about my employer/coworkers ANYWHERE online. Even on anonymous accounts. You just never know who might freak out and file an unmasking court order. It's happened before. - LANjackal from IM
It also doesn't matter if anyone sees it when you write it, because The Google sees it and records it for anyone looking for it years from now. - Trish R
Maybe the more general rule that comes into play here is to never say anything about someone you wouldn't tell them to their face. - Ken Sheppardson
Well said Ken. - Benjamin Taylor
What an idiot... When people claim we don't need guidelines for employees using social media, I just have to point out cases of extreme stupidity like this... - Badger Gravling
Ouch! Hope she learned the lesson. And +1 Ken, this is the simplest rule not to forget at any point. - lelapin
this is huge! - Loic Le Meur
OH those lessons learned the hard way. - anna sauce
This is great! Don't bite the hand that feeds especially if you're friends on FB. - Gabe Diaz from iPhone
Why friend your boss in the first place, especially if all you do is complain about the job? - Adrian McMillan
Ouch… :P - Daniel Schildt
Well someone has to make room for other people! From the sounds of it, she was probably already canned anyway. - Robert Fisher
Well that was a bit dumb. The thing about social media is it's just so much a part of our lives. We are encouraged to pour our views and feelings into it but we have to remember who is going to be reading it. In the end we have to censor ourselves so as a result our lifestream is a watered down stream. There are no directors cuts. - Parvez Halim
Absolutely priceless! - Robert Couture
Oh and I forgot the LOL. - Parvez Halim
this is something that may occur very often. More than we think! - Rui
@Rui I remember a colleague of mine did a similar thing. Luckily they got away with a written warning and no pay rise for that year. - Parvez Halim
HUGE! - Nathan Guetta
Interestingly, every time I consider complaining about my job via any social media platform, I stop and think "how can I make my job better? how can I improve myself?" and then end up writing about that instead. It has made me a much happier person. Really. - mike fabio
OMG ! this is awesome - Franck Nouyrigat
OUCH! - Retno Nindya
.. and that's why I'm private. I'm pretty good about not talking about work, but never know when I may say something completely stupid - Rodfather
I think there is a serious point here: Your on-line social network pals will be supportive of you regardless of whether you are right or wrong. That's what friends are for, kind of. All the boss does is let in a bit of reality. - sjjh
Maybe she wanted to be fired by her boss? Just questioning... - Torsten Eckert
Splendid. Too bad the story isn't real. OR IS IT...? - Francesco Balducci
I do so love the false sense of anonymity the Internet instills in people. - matthew john ernisse
haha! - orionstarr
Where did you get this? I'm trying to verify that it is actually a real event. Looks too 'perfect' and to generate this much hype I believe it is just two friends that wanted to laugh about how stupid the world is... - Brian J. Reeves
I wondered the same myself. The language suggests it's from the UK - LANjackal from IM
... or somewhere else where the British style of speech dominates - LANjackal from IM
April - you can't imagine how many people e-mailed me screenshots of this :) - Charlie Anzman
I wish I was here in order to press the "Like" button. - Clément Cailly
social media and your boss don't mix well :) - Dave Q
Zing! - Nick Mutton

Posterous adds autoposting to Picasa, Vimeo, Delicious, Friendfeed, YouTube and more. - http://thenextweb.com/2009...
Posterous adds autoposting to Picasa, Vimeo, Delicious, Friendfeed, YouTube and more.
Don't get me wrong - I love all of this compatibility and how everything works together. However, I am starting to go a little crazy with all of the options one has to share information and distribute it throughout various networks. Do I post to FF then share to Twitter? Do I post on Posterous than share to other networks? But then if I do that how will it effect the comments on the... more... - Mike Bracco
I'm curious as to what Posterous can do that FriendFeed can't. It just looks like another Tumblr to me *shrugs* - LANjackal
LANjackal: They seek to be the defacto standard of how people share rich media on the web - check out this interview with founders - http://ff.im/4nQqS - it's pretty good. I wish FF gave you the ability to create a FF site with FF as the backend. I wish I could create a site that was essentially just my FF stream where people could interact with my stream in a manner that wasn't a... more... - Mike Bracco
@Mike: Thanks for the explanation. Doesn't sound reason enough for me to use it, but if you want to go ahead :) - LANjackal from IM
LANjackal: I hear ya :) I don't really use it either. I have an account setup just to play with it but not sure I see it fitting into my workflow/life in anyway. But who knows....I do love the simplicity and strategy of making posting really simple. I think it will be great for the less techno savvy who understand email and all they have to do to make a blog post or photo gallery is send an email to post@posterous.com - Mike Bracco
Just tried it out, and auto-posting to FriendFeed looks the same as if you import the RSS feed. Personally I would rather FF pull items in, instead of a service pushing to FF. - Daniel Sims
Why is this better than using Ping.fm and Traffic Geyser/Tubemogul? hmmmm - dhamza
@dhamza, I doubt anyone would just use Posterous only as a middle-man for posting content to others sites (like you would use ping.fm or pixelpipe). It is a nice feature for auto-sharing your posterous blog posts, without having to use another in-between service. - Daniel Sims
I seriously don't get the point of tumblr, posterous, *duplicating* data. Just link to the original sites! And I doubly don't get the point of nested tumblr/posterous/etc shares. - Andrew C
I like Posterous, but haven't found a regular use for it yet (other than storing and organizing my media content). I agree with Mike, though, that it is nice to "own" your information and have it all originate from one source. With the many services out there that pull and aggregate data, Posterous is unique in its pushing abilities. I even think FriendFeed has been changing its focus to be more of the starting point of a conversation than the end. - Cloud
One thing Posterous can do that FF can't (at the moment) is accept iPhone3G(s) videos via email. - tollie williams
Daniel Sims, push is faster and more efficient than pull. - Raphael, Raphael
@Tollie - exactly. They've told me they're working on pushing video to flickr (right now it only pushes photos to flickr)... but I've used it for pushing video to Facebook from the iPhone and it works great. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
Posterous is awesome. I have an account but my Blackberry 8330 has no cam :( but once I get the new iPhone expect greatness :) - Garin Kilpatrick
Eventually, with every social media site pushing updates to every other, somebody is going to break the loop detection and we'll get an infinite number of duplicate posts about somebody's kitteh, causing the interwebz to collapse into a singularity and destroy civilization. Damn cat! - DGentry
DGentry, agreed. It's going to take some planning now to make sure posts do not get posted in loops. - LPH™ and his dog P™
Isn't this what FF was supposed to be for? I use FF as my central posting for text and websites, and PixelPipe for media (created by me). - Matthew DeVries
What does suck? Custom bars..... STOP USING CUSTOM BARS INTERNET! THEY SUCK METRIC ASS! - Matthew DeVries
Been reading a lot about it. Don't have an iphone and it doesn't really provide me anything that I need or already have. - Bill Kinney
It does seem to be a bit easier to love posterous if you're looking to share iPhone 3GS video with it. - Daniel J. Pritchett from IM
It's really the posting audio and video from the iPhone (and other mobiles) that I think is interesting. FF should add that feature quickly if they want to become the social MMS to the Twitter social SMS. Having private groups for these personal mobile captured images, audio, and videos is an important feature both FF and Posterous share. Posting to a public YouTube to get your video into FF is far from ideal. - Chip Ramsey
iPhone video can be shared very easily to FriendFeed via email share@friendfeed.com or upload video to YouTube and be sure you've added your YouTube service to FF and wala you're all set. Posterous does have more sophisticated posting options *hint, hint FF team* - Susan Beebe from BuddyFeed
I was under the impression that you could not send videos from the iPhone 3GS to FF and have them display inline. I guess I will have to test the functionality when my 3GS arrives. I understand the YouTube route, but want to keep my family videos, etc. in a private group. I don't think most people want to be spammed by videos of my son doing the robot as he slides down his new slide or my daughter singing like a bizarro Mariah Carey. I could make a private Posterous, but would prefer to keep it in FF. - Chip Ramsey
Personally I'd like to see both of them. :-P Molly - Molly from email
I like Posterous I really do but I've yet to find the problem it solves. My primary output comes via my blog, misc content via Tumblr, and Friendfeed for most everything else. Posterous doesn't really offer much that I need right now. If I didn't have a blog or tumlbr it would be a good fit I guess. - Keith - @tsudo
The biggest benefit that I can see at the moment is mobile posting. Posterus makes it drop dead simple to upload to anywhere/everywhere remotely. Updating a blog, twitter, flickr, etc, etc, via one email post makes Posterus a very shiny (if not quite silver, yet) bullet for mobile users. - Kevin Donahue
Interesting ... gonna sign up now. - Amani
Posterous is the best, simply put. - "Jazzperous" Isaksson
Micah Wittman
friendfeedCommentBottomLink - released today (greasemonkey script): Adds a Comment Link to the bottom of a FriendFeed Post thread [EDIT: v0.3 now with options to 1) hide comment-banned posts, and 2) disable enter key submits comment - NOTE: See functionality caveat in comments] http://userscripts.org/scripts...
anchor-drag.jpg
Did a quick update to version 0.2 - The [Comment] link was getting sandwiched as new comments appeared in realtime. Fixed! - Micah Wittman
Would you please have it disable itself on individual thread pages? (Since the comment box appears by default.) - Raphael, Raphael
vezquex - excellent point. Version 0.21 has the fix ("Bottom Comment link is not needed on a permalink page since the comment field is open by default. Fixed.") and it's ready for download http://userscripts.org/scripts... - Micah Wittman
I just upgraded earlier today and now the comment link isn't showing up at all :-( I miss it - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
zoblue, are you on v0.23 ? There's been a quick succession of releases. - Micah Wittman
Thanks...This is really helpful - Arafat Hossain Piyada
You're most welcome, piyadasworld :) - Micah Wittman
thank-you from the bottom of my heart.... - David HC Soul
David, just doing my part to reduce frustration-induced casting of stones :) #civil (appreciate the words - you're welcome). - Micah Wittman
Ah, that did it, I uninstalled then reinstalled and now it's up to the latest version 0.23. YAY!!!! - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
Doesn't work in Chrome. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
Kol, are you on Chrome on XP/Vista? Inside a VM? Is your script file in C:\scripts and named friendfeedcommentbottomlink.user.js ? - Micah Wittman
Coolness! Is there a way I can align the [Comment] text to the left rather than the center? I tried modding the code, but I'm not good at parsing javascript. EDIT: I'm also using AJ's Cleaner FriendFeed style, if that makes a difference. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Jandy, yep, just give me a second. *scanning code...* - Micah Wittman
Jandy, line 79 (or there abouts) starts with: [CODE]$(this).after('<div class="bottomCommentLinkDiv" style="margin:-.5em 0 1em 40%">[/CODE] —change the 40% to 5px (or whatever margin-left spacing you want :) - Micah Wittman
Thanks, Micah! I was looking in totally the wrong place. That worked perfectly. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Ok, great. Glad the script is helpful to you :) - Micah Wittman
Micah, Vista and it's here: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User Scripts with the rest of my scripts. And it's called "friendfeedCommentBottomLink.js". - Kol Tregaskes
Kol, try changing the script file name to exactly: "friendfeedcommentbottomlink.user.js" and restart Chrome (with "--enable-user-scripts" flag of course). I tested on XP, you're on Vista, but let's normalize the other factors at least. - Micah Wittman
thanks; just installed it. [edit: removed it, kinda fugly. :( ] - Anthony Citrano
Anthony, I didn't think it looked too good either...till I changed the left margin from 40% to 1em and added a space before & after the word Comment (within the brackets). Looks great, now: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u... - April Russo (app103)
Nice one, April! More oars in the water will get us there quicker :) - Micah Wittman
much needed mod - MikeAmundsen
Ok, thanks for the feedback everyone here. I just posted v0.24 which now has some key layout/style options in a Configuration section near the top of the script. The default position of the "[ Comment ]" link is left (instead of centred). I had originally gone with centred because I found my mouse pointer was thereabouts when I was wheel scrolling up and down the page, so it was a shortest-distance-to-the-target that drove the decision. But April's style is better looking, so it's the default config now :) - Micah Wittman
how about combining with the expand comments button since it is only needed on very long discussions - Mike Chelen
Mike Chelen, but an important use case is you've already expanded a long thread, have read from top to bottom and are now ready to comment (the expand N more comments link is gone at that point). - Micah Wittman
Issue with the latest update: It's adding like links to a user's own items, which as we all know you aren't allowed to like your own stuff. - April Russo (app103)
Thanks, April - I'll fix that. - Micah Wittman
April, just released [v0.26] http://userscripts.org/scripts... which fixed the Like problem. Thanks again for the feedback :) - Micah Wittman
No problem, and thanks for the great work. - April Russo (app103)
Thanks again, April. - Micah Wittman
[v0.27] Added feature that, while in a comment box, pressing the enter key does not submit and inserts a new line instead (submit by clicking Post button). Off by default; enabled it in Configuration by setting var enableEnterKeyDoesNewlineNotSubmit = true. http://userscripts.org/scripts... - Micah Wittman
Nice update! Thanks! - Andy Bold
Just added to a Fluid SSB for FriendFeed. Works like a charm. Thanks! - nadezhda
Andy, nadezhda, thanks for letting me know :) - Micah Wittman
Awesome. I'm going back to FF 3.0 to read FriendFeed until Greasemonkey is available for 3.5 (what's taking so long?) - Brad Kligerman
How do we "disable enter key submits comment?" - DarknessFalls
@DarknessFalls: Right-click the Greasemonkey icon. Select "Manage User Scripts..." Highlight the friendfeedCommentBottomLink script and click the "Edit" button. (If this is your first time doing this then you will be prompted to locate a text editor. Windows has Notepad.exe, and Mac has Textedit in Applications.) Find the enableEnterKeyDoesNewlineNotSubmit setting near the top of the script and change "false" to "true". Save the change and refresh the Friendfeed page and you're done. - Andy Bold
@Micah: One thing that I have noticed - when you enable enableEnterKeyDoesNewlineNotSubmit the comment entry box does not resize. It stays stuck in single-line mode. I'm using Firefox 3.0.10 on Mac. :) - Andy Bold
Andy, I must have something set wrong somewhere because when I try to edit, a window opens to the Firefox directory. No file to edit. Where does Greasemonkey store the scripts? - CAJ, somewhere else
Alan, it will be different per machine, for instance Firefox stores my scripts something like: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\agf0etrd.default\gm_scripts\friendfeedcommentbottoml\friendfeedcommentbottoml.user.js But you don't have to go there directly if GreaseMonkey has been associated with a text editor. Right click, manage scripts, then there a button or checkbox of some sort that allows you to choose an editor (notepad.exe, or whatever). - Micah Wittman
[[[ FUNCTIONALITY CAVEAT HERE ]]]: Andy, regarding box resizing - yes, I should state the caveat that (until I can figure out a way to achieve a more nuanced approach in the code) the keypress event bound to the comment box is disabled, which includes multi-line and re-sizing, and character count display (when it goes past the threshold). I'll make this clearer in the post. Thanks! - Micah Wittman
Alan, What Micah said :-) Any Mac peeps reading this can find the scripts in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/SomeRandomString.default/gm_scripts - Andy Bold
<ahem> After reading the Title Bar of the window, I now realize Greasemonkey was asking me for my default editor. Whoopsie! - CAJ, somewhere else
No prob, Alan. - Micah Wittman
Micah, thanks for clearing that up! I'll file it under "Feature" for now, and install this : http://userscripts.org/scripts... :-) (Been meaning to do this for a while anyway. It's one thing from Safari that I miss in Firefox - the ability to re-size any text box.) (Edit: Blah - script doesn't work. Never mind. :) - Andy Bold
Alan : I just updated my original post. Thanks for reminding me that Greasemonkey does this! :-) - Andy Bold
Andy, no problem. It's a shame Greasemonkey doesn't ask when it's installed. THAT would be the time I'd expect configuration questions. :) - CAJ, somewhere else
was anyone able to get the bottom comment and like to work on Chrome 2.0 on Vista? - Harold
@Kol: not sure why my last comment didn't bump this back up to the current topics... but were you able to get this working on Vista & Chrome 2.0 ? - Harold
tried again... and the script doesn't appear to be working. anyone else having the issue with bottom comments on chrome 2? - Harold from fftogo
Harold, it's not just you. Chrome 2 has some odd hangup with certain general purpose code that should execute fine but doesn't. When I (or someone else - please let me know) figures it out, I'll update you. I'm sure it's frustrating for you, I know it is for me. Stay tuned :) - Micah Wittman
Harold, I think the reason our comments aren't bumping this up to the top of this group is there's an algorithm that considers the age of the post (based on creation date I'm thinking) as part of the decision to bump to top or not upon additional comments. - Micah Wittman
@Micah, I started working on integrating the bottom comment with the Cleaner Friend Feed script. If I get it working, I'll be sure to let you know. - Harold
Harold, cool. Keep me posted. - Micah Wittman
Harold, if I remember correctly last time I was in the code with Chrome 2, execution never even made it out of the GM_wait function. - Micah Wittman
Micah: the comment box would appear the first time you click expand, so it is ready when reaching the bottom of the post - Mike Chelen
Mike, ok, I get you now. I should be able to work that in as a configurable option. Thanks! - Micah Wittman
Micah: hey great, that would be cool, thanks for all these great FF tweaks, been having a lot of fun trying them out! - Mike Chelen
How much overhead is there in running greasemonkey? Any chance FriendFeed will finally fix this themselves after all this time? - Internet Strategist
A FriendFeed intern just acknowledged my request in another thread for them to look into fixing these usability issues. - Internet Strategist
In my experience, the overhead of the greasemonkey extension itself isn't perceptible. The script(s) you have activated on the other hand can be - it all depends on what the script tries to acheive and how well optimized it is (lag can often be a consequence of scripts that make requests to other web services that may not be responsive). - Micah Wittman
Thanks Micah. I may test it. I just realized there is already a "fix" for the screen jumping when you subscribe that works on at least some pages although it can be a little tricky. Right click on the Subscribe link and open it in another tab. - Internet Strategist
Micah just started using FireFox 3.5 and when trying to install this received this error message: Script could not be installed [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIChannel.open]" nsresult: "0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://greasemonkey/content/utils.js :: getContents :: line 244" data: no] Is there something I need to change on my side? - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)
Peter, thank you for alerting me. Hmm. Was this Firefox 3.5 on Windows? - Micah Wittman
Yes Windows XP - Peter du Toit (S.Africa) from email
It works fine on FF 3.5 on Vista. - Flavio
Peter, it may be a problem with the gm_scripts directory SEE http://www.nabble.com/unable-... (context is WinXP): "This error is usually caused by a missing greasemonkey configuration file or gm_scripts directory. Please go to your firefox profile directory (on windows something like c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application... more... - Micah Wittman
Thanks Micah will check it out and let you know. Was working perfectly with F/Fox 3.0.11 - Peter du Toit (S.Africa) from email
the gm_scripts directories are there but config.xml file missing - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)
Added empty config.xml and it fixed the problem! Thanks Micah! - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)
Great news, Peter! :) - Micah Wittman
UPDATE [v0.3] (announced here: http://friendfeed.com/friendf... ) - Fixed to accommodate FriendFeed's new Disable Comments per post option. Also added script Configuration option hideCommentDisabledPosts - if turned on will hide all posts that are set to Comments Disabled (but will not be hidden if you are the owner of the post). - Micah Wittman
I can't for the life of me figure out how to install this. I'm really really hoping it works for a couple flickr scripts in particular.... help? please? :) - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Nathalie, sorry I didn't catch your comment here until just now (you made it Tuesday - yikes!) The easiest way to use this is on Firefox; install the Greasemonkey add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US... . Next, install the script by clicking this link: http://userscripts.org/scripts... - please ping me with you need more help understanding it from... more... - Micah Wittman
I know how to install greasemonkey scripts in genereal (in firefox) but apparently, .... *trails off to go up and read again...* oooooooooooooh. see, I thought I'd commented on a post regarding some hack I'd read about for running some greasemonkey scripts in Chrome. that's my 2nd serious blonde moment this week. *sigh* so. uh. it's ok. *runs to find the hack she's now wondering if she dreamt rather than saw* - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Nathalie, that's completely understandable. Where things can really go off the tracks is when one sends a txt to the Twitter short code instead of the spouse's cell number. The iPhone can really help make a magical moment like that possible. Not that I'd know or anything :D - Micah Wittman from iPhone
omg! I love chrome, but I totally missed greasemonkey. this bottom comment option for friendfeed is teh shit! - possibly enough to make me come back to firefox for a couple sites. - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Nathalie, sorry I don't have page handy, but I know I've read that there are workarounds to get greasemonkey scripts to (largely) work in the Dev version of Chrome :) - Adam Lasnik

That's an old Pownce feature. Frienfeed doesn't support posting to a pre-defined list; you'd either have to DM them all at once, or get them to join a room. - Raphael, Raphael

Help me decide: Disqus vs Intense Debate vs TypePad Connect vs JS-Kit Comments
typepad-logo.gif
js-kit-logo.gif
disqus-logo.gif
Show all
What's your pick and why? - Berk D. Demir
What a question! I'm using Disqus and can't do an honest appraisal because I haven't tried the others. I too would love to hear some comparisons from those who have tried the different options. - Kenley Neufeld
I haven't closely compared feature sets, but I'd go with Disqus just because it seems to be everywhere. A potential commenter is likely to have a Disqus account already. - Bruce Lewis
I would say go w/ IntenseDebate (owned by Wordpress) or Disqus. IntenseDebate has OpenID support, Disqus does not. Disqus can do ratings if integrated w/ Outbrain.com. Whichever you use, make sure to tap into the API so you have your own copy of all the comments. - Daniel Sims
Disqus. Hands down. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Disqus - Calon
frustrating when no one explains why isn't it Berk - Zee.
Using ID for my Blogger site and Disqus for my Tumblr site. Too bad LiveJournal won't let you use 3rd-party commenting systems and you have to pay to use TypePad, otherwise I could try one of the others. - Ron Bailey
OK. Actually no one is talking about their particular reasons. Let me ease your burden. Here are some comparative parameters. 1) Availability 2) Performance 3) Manageability 4) Customizability 5) Authentication Sources 6) Niche Features 7) Userbase and marketshare 8) Trust to the backing org/co. 9) Others? - Berk D. Demir
And what do you do if the service you pick goes belly-up and takes all your comments with it? I have been there before. Anybody remember Enetation? I had a paid account and still lost all my comments. - April Russo (app103)
I like Disqus because of rated comments, video comments, and easy comment moderation. - Sweyn Venderbush
If I had to pick it would be Disqus. It works well in my WP site. It some lots of nice features and the new "social comments" feature being testes on Mashable looks amazing. - Kol Tregaskes
Avoid Intense Debate. When their back end goes down - so will your site. Ours went down at least three times before figuring out it was not our host but ID. They also brought down a number of other sites and Intense Debate hasn't much to say about it. We're in the process of switching to Disqus as that seems to be the most widely used. - Wayne Schulz
I am already using Disqus and I like it a lot. Also check social media contents on Mashable which they plan to make it available to all users. - ropiku
Disqus lets you leave anonymous comments, if I remember correctly. - Tyson Key
I've said it about a million times before, Disqus rocks, but what I'm missing from it is the support for trackbacks. Afaik, that's a limitation that intense debate also has. - Vincent van Wylick
After reading all inputs here (and I also recommend http://themindstorms.wordpress.com/2009... ), I chose js-kit because of (1) comment syncing (@april ruso: if they go belly up, I've got a local backup) (2) the ability to be an anonymous-yet-accountable "troll" (i.e. no-questions-asked openid login) , (3) good enough localization and skinning capability for a Hebrew (direction:rtl) site. Hope this information is helpful - ĎÚβĨŐÚŚ Dod
Disqus because it's very easy to manage, spam count is low, plenty of features, great UI design, Facebook connect integration. What more do you need in a comment system? - Corvida
I guess the ability to be a troll is high up there? Doesn't Disqus do rtl? - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I have only use Disqus, so I say and stick on that - Kristian Salonen
Intense Debate is pretty good from my perspective as an end-user, although I haven't tried to enable it for any of the sites I run. - Tyson Key
@rasheem "ablility to be a troll" is a basic human right. I don't want to have a blog where only people "who have nothing to hide" can comment, because they only have boring stuff to say. As for rtl - I've seen an *almost* working Hebrew disqus implementation at http://holesinthenet.co.il but me and da misus have managed to make js-kit much more Hebrew than that pretty fast: http://imagebin.ca/view... - ĎÚβĨŐÚŚ Dod
It would be nice to hear about these alternatives from the point of view of the end user. It is all very well having a system that makes your life as an author/admin easier but if readers/commenters hate it, it's a no go for me. - Bill Glover
Thanks for the recs, guys. Berk - I'm from Disqus. We're very responsive and will help you every step of the way if you have more questions. - Daniel Ha
From an end user's point of view...a commenter on a blog: I had my first experience with Intense Debate the other day and found it quite annoying. I had a hard time editing spelling mistakes when I re-read my comment before posting. I could not relocate the cursor within the comment box. I had to select all to copy & paste to notepad, then delete everything in the box and copy the... more... - April Russo (app103)
@ Daniel - sorry to pick on you in an FF thread - but I recently switched my (hosted) Wordpress blog to Disqus. I like the (promised) features of the app a lot - but ... I have four fairly major issues with it (Facebook Connect doesn't work, no ability to moderate trackbacks, comment counts don't show up on posts etc.) and have four unanswered support queries open in your forums, the oldest is 9 days old. Have had to resort to a Twitter callout to get any response at all lately ... - Patrick Jordan
Oh, and here's my 'compilation' thread, detailing four isssues, and linking to oldest support forum queries on them etc: http://disqus.disqus.com/many_is... - Patrick Jordan
Thanks for all responses. I made my decision after testing all of them. From worst to best. TypePad's performance is at rock bottom. It's availability in 5 days span was below 85%. IntenseDebate has serious latency problems which confuses the commenter but JS load time was fast. JS-Kit is pretty promising. SezWho acquisition is still fresh thus it still has some rough edges with CSS customization and OpenID... And the winner is ...(drums)... Disqus! - Berk D. Demir
Disqus's availability was 99.82%. Load time was best among all. Widgets are cool. Management site is clear and responsive. I've tested comment importing and wrote an API consumer with App Engine in minutes. API response time is not great but very sufficient... Only negative thing about Disqus was its incomplete wiki. I hope it'll be populated soon. - Berk D. Demir
I went with Disqus because the feedback their service receive is almost 98 % positive. - SkyKid
everyone loves disqus... and so do i - Peter Efland
Disqus! - Nate Pilling
Try this with Disqus: Create a private post. Now go to your Disqus community page. Last time I used the system - a few weeks back - it was loading my private posts into the community page. There's also no synch on the post titles, so if you change the title in WP, it still keeps the old title on your community page. And probably old content too. Instant deactivation. - Marlin Forbes
IntenseDebate: performance is abysmal, JS files are loaded on EVERY page (even where not needed, like most of the admin panel). Support has known about it for at least 7 months. They do not seem to be coping. Unless you're on a fast line on the backbone in the States, this one will bring your site to its knees. - Marlin Forbes

CNN right now: bla bla bla bla Twitter bla bla bla Iran bla bla bla bla. Where is friendfeed and Facebook? Easy CNN doesn't want to get kicked off of the SUL.
I have heard a lot more mention of Facebook in the videos/ interviews I've heard than either twitter or friendfeed in regards to the #iranelection. - Tony
you assume they even know what FB/FF are - Lynette Young
they have been talking about the FB page alot..but no friendfeed - Deb
SUL= Suggested User List. Twitter has about 30 million users. Facebook has about 250 million. Friendfeed has about 1 million. Where is the editorial balance? - Robert Scoble
CNN has mentioned Facebook fairly often, esp. concerning Mousavi's page. Don't know if many Iranians are using FriendFeed to give updates, upload pics/video, etc., so FF may not be a significant part of the equation in this story. - DB
DB: there are tens of thousands of Iranians on friendfeed. The search engine is a lot better here than on Twitter. - Robert Scoble
I read FF was blocked in Iran, but twitter was not, something like that. - Nyan Min
Robert - Fox News 'just' mentioned YouTube, Facebook, Picasaweb and Twitter. JulieBanderas was canvassing opinion on Twitter last week. I posted about it here : http://anzman.blogspot.com/2009... (CNN lost me for now on this one in the states) - Charlie Anzman
I think Twitter is easier to reach when the government is blocking your internet. - Bas
FF is still too early adopter for them. They are committed to Twitter and won't dilute the focus with another SM tool for quite some time. - JP Holecka - Jaypiddy
Lots of Iranians are on FF...but are we sure that CNN even knows about FF? - phil baumann
Twitter is also blocked in Iran. - Robert Scoble
great job at #140conf - I was there. A lot of micro expressions by @ricksanchez - you held up. But right now they're reporting the right news - all social media! - iTbay
And then again, most of the news (regarding #iranelection) is coming out on Twitter, not FF. -- correct me if I'm wrong. - Bas
Bas: you are wrong. - Robert Scoble
It's coming from all over. - JP Holecka - Jaypiddy
Bas: friendfeed is being used by tons of Iranians. Look at all the Farsi posts. - Robert Scoble
We could have the Sony Beta JVC VHS here Robert with FF. Best does not always make it to the top. - JP Holecka - Jaypiddy
Why don't you tweet links to the FF posts to peeps like @JoshLevsCNN and see what traction you get? - phil baumann
hah robert - i recently noted that Fox News is now "Twitter reports...you decide" - maybe they want on the SUL :) - Allen Stern
Robert, why aren't you showing up in their "Blogger Bunch" or whatever they call it to tell them about FF? - Holger Eilhard
Could see FF being a more pliant and journalism-friendly medium than Twitter. More context/background could be added to developing stories here on FF than Twitter. The two together create a lot of synergy. - phil baumann
Robert Scoble: FF may have thousands of users there, but are they using it much to post info during the post-election period, esp. compared to Twitter & FB (I don't know; just asking). Maybe Twitter is easier to access & use on a cell phone than FF? Anybody seen any numbers on usage of FF vs. FB vs. Twitter? - DB
Mainly facebook groups and mousavi have come my way on twitter. I've seen this one more than any other in tweets for several hours today http://www.facebook.com/video... - ( facebook.com/video/video.php?v=89928823259&ref=nf ) it's the shooting of the woman. - Mac Sharp
who cares where the news is coming from: Twitter vs Friendfeed - this is for future debate. Right now Twitter, Facebook, Youtube are in the minds of millions; @anncurry is creating great buzz with Twitter & Youtube & @jeffjarvis is stating Google social responsibility for showing more youtube videos re #iranelection - the debate should focus area this right now! Friendfeed is great though! - iTbay
The Iranian (expatriate?) who called CNN from the Netherlands whose fiance has pictures on iReport called in and said "Twitter, FriendFeed, and Youtube are being blocked." So there was a FF mention. - Chris Lasher
Has anybody tried notifying CNN about using FriendFeed as a source? - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
FF isn't in the mainstream I've always said it's the wannabe facebook lol - orionstarr
orionstarr: that's funny because Facebook keeps copying FriendFeed's features. Just this week Facebook copied another FriendFeed feature (Farsi support). - Robert Scoble
Is there a "FF Room" for the breaking news of the protests? That might gain some attention. - LPH™ and his dog P™
Nobody has to inform CNN about FF. They are a professional outfit. And as long as they are on the SUL, they have a conflict of interest. But it's their choice. - Nick in Manila
Seems CNN haven't quite gotten the point that Iranians have been huge fans of using Friendfeed. - George Hall (Australia)
If CNN were really serious, they'd be using the Friendfeeds from Iran a bit more. - George Hall (Australia)
After searching a bit - there is an interesting FF room on Iran: http://friendfeed.com/iranwat... - LPH™ and his dog P™
lots don't know the diff between Twitter, Facebook and etc. - Eleanor Wynn
Pulling back up a bit, isn't this a key learning from the last week? The revolution within the revolution? - Scotty Perkins
There is one difference everyone must note. Friendfeed is designed for discussions and interaction. But right now, do we need discussions or do we need broadcasting. For all its faults, Twitter is a broadcasting engine. And right now, Iranians are using Twitter as the only means of getting their message out. But when will the Iranian government shut Twitter access down? And if they do, will the broadcasts shift to another channel? - Lorin Olsen
Lorin: Since twitter is such a simple service, served by any kind of simple means, it's exceptionally difficult to shut it down completely. Twitter is great for broadcasting, but not good for controlling widespread rumor and / or panic. FriendFeed is much better for this, but Friendfeed doesn't have the simplicity, and so is easier to cut off. In short, will the Iranian government... more... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Facebook has been blocked by the Iranian government - so there's not as much going on there. However, Fox News hasn't stopped talking about Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and other sites - not just Twitter. - Chad Smith
So far, BBC TV Persian Service has paid very good attention to all social media. They have a program called "Your Turn"[translation] that shows the perspective of the users and they have a very active user on FF (http://friendfeed.com/nobates...). I think we don't see CNN cover FF because their audience isn't using it. BBC Persian is using all these services because their audience is very active in all of them. - Khosrow
