+Anne--Right about the time I forget about this, it shows up again. Too funny.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
interesting. I've tried a few times to get animated images to work on FF without success.. I guess piping it through twitpic might be the answer!
- veo
veo, yeah Twitpic, RSS (MediaRSS), Delicious, Tumblr all seem to work. There are more than that but those come to mind.
- Josh Haley
Just one question, Josh: are you by chance spinning on 9 different Aeron chairs that were a steal after the first dot-com bubble burst? The future of the internets: you're looking at it =)
- Micah Wittman
could anybody describe how to create such a picture? thx
- Arnaud Fischer
Arnaud, see http://friendfeed.com/mokarga... for tips. And Josh correct me if I'm wrong, he uploaded to Twitpic the same animated GIF 9 times, then created a friendfeed post and attached all 9 images by URL (instead of choosing images from his hard drive). Images coming from twitpic, soup.io, etc will animate, but photos hosted by friendfeed itself won't.
- Micah Wittman
Did not sleep well with all the spinning. :p
- Josh Haley
from iPhone
It's infinitely more amusing when they don't all load at the same time. Spinning chaos!!!
- CAJ, somewhere else
Why the friendfeed limitation on animated .gifs? It seems arbitrary and odd to me. I could see wanting to limit filesize (animated .gifs can get large) but you can upload huge .jpgs without any trouble.
- veo
Mesmerizing like a lava lamp. Hey! You are a 'Lame-o Lamp'! And you might want to call the folks in the makeup department and get that forehead de-sheened. Remember, your forehead is an alternate landing site for the Space Shuttle - And you don't want to blind the crew on their final approach, do you? :-)
- Morgan Haley
Good luck trying to land anything on that while it's moving. :p I can always count on my brother.
- Josh Haley
OMG! That should be the next installment at some fluecy deucy art museum!!! AWESOME. :) It's like whack-a-mole... I keep trying to figure out which one will show your face next and for some reason I'm always wrong.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Thanks, Lindsay! :) I think that's the first time someone described wanting to systematically hit me on the head repeatedly, yet have it come off as a compliment. I would love to take credit like I was Andy Warhol or something, but alas I was just tired and felt like doing something silly. :p
- Josh Haley
from iPhone
yep, what Lindsay said. That was one of the first bona-fide instances I've seen of using Friendfeed as a medium for net art. You could get in the Whitney & stuff. GOOD JOB
- Kamilah Gill
LOL! I actually didn't mean it the way it came out (the hitting you on the head part, the compliment part is ok ;)). But I'm in tears laughing when I read your reply. Whack-a-mole always frustrated the heck out of me... I did a lot more staring than hitting when I tried to play. It was mesmerizing.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
you wait - the scary part of this comes when one of these ffoodoo heads stops turning, starts grimmacing and talking to you ..... have you seen one of these heads actually get up off the chair and curse the world??? ... the seeming dissynchronicity, the haphazard discord with which these dollheads turn might drive you ...nuts
- Petr Buben
I never ceased to be amazed by how so much is done by so few. Everyone in that picture rocks. I'll even give Camilla a wee fistbump.

InnerFade is a small plugin for the jQuery-JavaScript-Library. It's designed to fade you any element inside a container in and out. These elements could be anything you want, e.g. images, list-items, divs. Simply produce your own slideshow for your portfolio or advertisings. Create a newsticker or do an animation.
- Mark Krynsky
Agree with Nir Ben on this one. Don't get sold on a CULV laptop (more than a netbook with larger screen). Small size is easier to take with you.f
- JR Holmes
The Nokia is sooo pretty though. As is the Vaio. But 10hour battery life is pretty sweet.
- Mona Nomura
The Nokia isn't out yet and boy, its price is so disproportional (700 Euros for a netbook?).
- Nir Ben Yona
Ya - I have three browsers and Digsby running. Still no lags / problems.
- Mona Nomura
I dunno if they do it in the US, but here in the UK there are mobile operators that offer a netbook with a USB 3G dongle and contract (so you're paying for the netbook over the course of your contract). Giving you a netbook *and* a means of connecting to the net anywhere.
- alphaxion
Yaarrr... If ye can be getting a Dell Mini 9, ye can hackintosh it to run both Windows 7 and Mac OS... so ye have a choice... YAARRRRR
- Johnny Worthington
I'd go with the Asus 1005HA, Samsung NC10, or Toshiba Mini NB205
- Rodfather
Rodfather :) I'm trying to figure out which Eee PC this is. Do I have to take out the battery? #flashbacks *edit: it's a 1008HA. Super cute.
- Mona Nomura
The 1008HA is the seashell with the non-removable battery. The 1005HA is basically the same with a removable battery.
- Rodfather
It really does last a freaking long time on the battery. I have been very pleased with mine.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Am I going to need to take out the battery? Lindsay - I love it so far...it's mainly for email and browsing so I'm not even worried it's XP. Though I am very very VERY drawn to the Vaio P
- Mona Nomura
from IM
Well, the 1008HA has a 6 hour battery life vs 10.5 hrs on the 1005HA. It is sleek and pretty though. The Sony is too expensive for what you get compared to the others. They are all basically the same when it comes down to it. I'm really happy with Asus' build quality. They make rock solid netbooks.
- Rodfather
I'm using an Asus 1000H. It's 1 year 2 days old now :). I upgraded the RAM to 2GB and harddrive to 320GB the day I got it. I love it. I use it everyday and it's my main computer.
- Rodfather
That's awesome - I think I'm going back to a Windows machine, too. Getting a little sick of Macs.
- Mona Nomura
We have some Toshiba netbooks at school (not sure of the model) they run okay and the battery life is excellent.
- Bryce Roney
Either the Eee 1000 series or a Lenovo S10. I'm partial to the S10's myself but the Eee is widely used so you're more likely to find support for it.
- EricaJoy
I have not had to take out the battery, though I admit that I haven't tried to use it for 10 straight hours either... but I think it would last that long if I tried. I have not had any issues with it so far. It's great for checking email and browsing, especially at places I don't want to take a big laptop, like coffee shops or... Gnomedex... Oh, and we upgraded the RAM on mine when we got it too...
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Ya I think I might upgrade the RAM too...but so far so good. Actually, Chrome runs faster on here than on my Macbook (which has 4gigs of RAM LOL)
- Mona Nomura
I'm probably going to wait until Windows 7 is preinstalled on netbooks before grabbing another. The performance is probably better with XP, but I'm ready for Windows 7, and would rather have preinstalled drivers than worry about upgrading. Plus, I want to see if there's any good convertible tablet netbooks coming with Windows 7. Hopefully the Asus T101 will be good if it comes out.
- Rodfather
That is totally what I was waiting for too (preinstalled Win7) but man, I'm getting tired of lugging monstrous laptops around. Can't wait until Office goes online!
- Mona Nomura
Actually right now, I'm keeping my eye on the Lenovo x200 tablet. It's pricey, but still fairly small with a 12" screen. It has both an active digitizer and multitouch capacitive screen. There's an option for a bright outdoor viewable screen too.
- Rodfather
Samsung N120 -- comfortable keyboard, sturdy construction, better than average speakers... Will snatch up the Samsung N510 when it comes to market. Laptops are gone for good in my world.
- Sean McBride
Sean - Samsung...really? I've had really bad experiences with Samsung devices so I tend to stay away (especially cell phones). I dunno about tablets...still on the fence. (more to do with usability and practicality)
- Mona Nomura
I think you would be happy with any of the recommended netbooks. Cheap, light, and great battery life. It's been the best bang for the buck device I've had ever. It's provided so much value for so little money.
- Rodfather
I'm actually really digging the Eee 1008HA. Netbooks are such a steal and Chrome seriously runs faster on this.
- Mona Nomura
from IM
+1 on the Apple tablet (if it ever happens) being too expensive.
- EricaJoy
Ya - it'll just be an oversized iPhone. read: battery suck.
- Mona Nomura
Over 80 reviews of the Samsung N120 here, mostly positive: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung... Usually it's a good idea to visit a local Best Buy, Staples or whatever to physically interact with these machines, hands on, before deciding.
- Sean McBride
Visiting a local store isn't the best idea for netbooks because B&M shops are only just now catching on to netbooks. Generally they won't have a good or complete selection of whats available.
- EricaJoy
from IM
Really? I'd be surprised if Fry's didn't have a good selection of netbooks. Mona, there's a Fry's in Renton.
- Rochelle
I'm sticking with the Eee 1008HA until a netbook with Win7 preloaded comes out. I've been on it all day and I really like it - only issue is I have to use Firefox or IE to post stuff to FriendFeed / Facebook, etc. GoogleReader looks kinda funky in Chrome.
- Mona Nomura
from IM
Frys does not carry the Lenovo netbooks for sure and possibly not the samsungs either.
- EricaJoy
from IM
I don't think I'd invest in Lenovo or Samsung... :( And Rodfather? The Lenovo tablet is omg expensive.
- Mona Nomura
I still have my Eee 1000HD, so I would vouch for anything along that line. I would recommend the Acer Aspire One, but I'm not a big fan of the Atom processor.
- Helen Sventitsky
Samsung is selling a lot of netbooks: "Samsung Electronics is expected to surpass Asustek Computer and Hewlett-Packard (HP) to become the second largest netbook player in Europe in the third quarter of 2009, trailing only Acer, according to Taiwan-based makers." (Honest -- I'm not a paid Samsung representative. :) I'm just impressed by their netbook technology, and think that netbooks in general are going to be huge, huge, huge... Ubiquitous)
- Sean McBride
Don't worry too much about which netbook you buy today -- it will be outdated in a few months, and it will be inexpensive to replace it. This technology is going to evolve very rapidly for the foreseeable future -- there is a massive convergence from every angle on this form factor and platform.
- Sean McBride
I'm in love with the 1008HA - seriously snappy and perfect for browsing needs. Now all I need is MS Office to go online (Cloud or whatever). Can't WAIT to rid all my bulkier laptops!
- Mona Nomura
from IM
I'm not doing anything until Windows 7 comes out.
- John E. Bredehoft
Actually, I'm on XP Home and it's fine. Though I'm not going to lie, once a preloaded Asus with Win7 comes out, I am straight on. it.
- Mona Nomura
from IM
If you want Snow Leopard, Dell Mini 10v works brilliantly (using it to post this). Nice size keyboard, too. Battery life is only so-so.
- Jan Ole Peek
Thank you for the info but there is no way I will Hackintosh a netbook. OS X is not fit for the form factor. : )

im drooling over the asus eee and dell mini, trying to hold out for one with nvidia 3d accel or dual core cpu
- Mike Chelen
Nvidia 3D Accel or Dual Core CPU + 4gig ram + Win7 in Eee 1008HA form factor = dream Netbook. I'm looking into RAM upgrades but it sounds like a total hassle. Bummer.
- Mona Nomura
from IM
LOL Mona! My "computer name" is Asus EEE Pc 1008HA - It's very nice, but it really would benefit from at least 2G mem. I'm srsly pushing it at 1G.
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
Whoa this thread turned bigger. Anyway, I run Windows 7 on my Asus N10 with 2GB of RAM and it works awesome. Asus did great when added a small shutter at the back with direct access to both hard drive and memory parts, so replacing them is just a matter of minutes.
- Nir Ben Yona
I'm planning on getting an Acer 1410 in October unless a better alternative comes along. (I won't need one till Nov.) It's because I want full-screen video without hiccups. I hear it can't do full screen Flash video smoothly until Adobe finally rolls out GPU-accelerated video. Still, for the time frame I'm looking at, and for my needs (I don't need long battery life, but do want an 11.6" screen, full-sized keyboard, 3 lb or lighter weight), I think it fits nearly perfectly.
- Andrew C
I have a Dell Mini 9 and I'm pretty content with it. There are other options for the same price with bigger HD's, but you need to know if you actually need one. If you don't, I recommend Mini9. <3
- Olivia Lovag
You have low-tier (< 300$) or High Tier (>600$) don't choose anything in the middle.
- anaborg
No, I'm with you @angry. We bought a Lenovo S10 for my daughter. While it is nice, it's nearly impossible for me to type on it. And the 10 inch screen is too small for my aging eyes.

from iPhone
Have you actually tried using the latest generation of netbooks? For most apps that most people use, they are adequately powered and the display is readable. It is easy to boost the font size on smartphones, not to mention netbooks (I read ebooks on my smartphone comfortably). Laptops look like clumsy dinosaurs to me now. I will never purchase or use another laptop.
- Sean McBride
Back Nir Ben's suggestion. Up the memory to 2gb though and buy an external Bluetooth mouse. The only bad thing about the 1005HA is the mouse on it.
- Uncle CW™
Wow everyone, thanks so much for all the helpful advice. I need to bookmark this thread. Y'all rule. Liliputing, huh? Never heard of it...lame. Btw Reeeechard, I def. agree. This guy (1008HA) can use another gig of RAM.

Liliputing is also my favorite feed for netbook developments. :) (And I read it in Feedly.)

Run like hell from any Sony note/netbook. I've had 3 and mother-in-law had 1 and they ALL had hard drive failures just out of warranty. This is over a 6 year period as recent as this year.

Toshiba NB205 is a very worthy competitor to the recommended Asus 1005. I have both right now (own the Tosh, Asus is on loan) and they compete well. I like the massive trackpad on the Tosh though. :)
- Kevin C. Tofel
from iPhone
Brad, I've had the total opposite experience. I have had three Sony Vaios (upgrading, not replacing because of problems) with the first being in 2000 and the most recent was purchased less than a year ago. I've had nothing but great luck with them. In fact, I'm on one right now as it's my primary computer. Plus, it's PINK. :)
- Rochelle
I have to agree with Brad. Sony's only entry into the netbook market (which they don't want people calling a netbook at all) is the Vaio-P. It's crap. Cute on the outside, unusable on the inside.
- EricaJoy

Kevin - I've had nothing but good luck with Toshibas. My Satellite (super old) still works and runs like a dream. I would definitely invest in their netbook. : )

It's absolutely amazing how well they engineer their timers. Brilliant! ;)

Good for you Rochelle. My own and other's experience has been much different. Sounds like you've been lucky and bought 3 without the "timers" see Mona's comment. ;)

What about Apple's existing netbook, the MacBook Air? I owned one for a while but needed more of a workhorse. Still, that's one of the best notebooks ever made; exceptional construction, great performance, huge screen, full keyboard.
- David Chartier
from iPhone
Thats not a netbook. It's a lightweight full sized laptop. My own personal definition of netbook includes "able to fit into my purse."
- EricaJoy

Erica, Sony does have a netbook entry besides the Vaio P (if you can call the P a netbook), it's called the Vaio W http://bit.ly/2ddkJp
- Nir Ben Yona
my top 3 netbooks right now are (i reviewed around 150 different ones in the last 2 years) - Toshiba NB200, Samsung N150 and Eee PC 1005HA. I can really recommend all of them when you wanta good build quality, great keyboards and last but not least some 8-9 hours of batterylife.
- Sascha Pallenberg
you might also wanna wait until January when all the new Pine-Trail netbooks are available. Pretty much the same performance compared to the Intel Atom netbooks that are available right now but much more batterylife. Check out my youtube channel for my netbook reviews: http://www.youtube.com/minipcp...

holy crap! in what way did they mean this? because you shoot strays that loiter too long? or because your kids will be off in the woods shooting stuff, and therefore not on your lawn bugging you?

I wonder if I have one theme for my wordpress blog, could I use this them on an internal page of my blog? Make sense?

If you already have a theme you like and just want to add a Lifestream to a dedicated page then you should use the Lifestream plugin instead http://wordpress.org/extend...
- Mark Krynsky
ahhhh ... i think I will try that whenever some free time appears! I will be texting/messaging u if I have questions.
- Amani
from IM
No prob. It's a great plugin to add both to display and store your Lifestream in the Wordpress database.
- Mark Krynsky
I tried the lifestream plugin. Couldn't get it to work. But I didn't play with it for very long, either.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I'd be more than happy to help you with it too Jandy :) it does require newer versions of PHP & MySQL which some webhosts may not have upgraded to.
- Mark Krynsky
I am also going to try the Lifestream plugin on a dedicated page (I recently discovered it thanks to who else, but Mark!) As of now, I think rather than use this theme approach, using StoryTlr makes more sense - more flexible, more powerful, and simpler.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Okay, I got it going. I think I was also trying to use that Irresistible theme from WooThemes, and I couldn't figure out where everything was supposed to go. Switched themes to just figure out the plugin on its own first. I don't think it's as cool as just embedding FriendFeed, though - no comments, no flash player for audio/video files, no pictures.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
is there a plug in that gives you all that Jandy is looking for? That would be rather bad azz.
- Amani
from IM
Jandy, embedding FriendFeed vs. using the Lifestream Plugin offer 2 different approaches and depending on your goals one may be a better option than the other. Embedding FriendFeed would display less items based on how much space each of them takes up along with comments, non FF users my not be able to interact easily, it's still hosted on FF etc. Lifestream Plugin allows many tweaks at...

This thread made me LOL. I now have the mental image of our Johnny giving a presentation to Mrs.Johnny and assorted breakfast leavings and, for some reason, the polar bear from a completely unrelated image on friendfeed.

WoH. using my pieces of paper I would create lists for everyone that showed up. Then, each list would be assigned a certain stick and all those on that list would only be allowed to talk to me once I was holding that stick. If you say something offensive, the stick would then be turned into the block tool at great swiftness. I would draw pictures of my daughter on the walls of a nearby...

The problem is, we only have room for 1 Scoble... We will either let you guys pick between Robert and Alex or we will cover them both with honey and the first one not to get eaten by a bear gets in... (My money's on Alex, Robert would be to busy tweeting on his iRock)
- Johnny Worthington
if Robert was on his iPhone, chances are that Alex would be reconfiguring the rocks in the caves to give optimal stereo for his conch recitals
- WorldofHiglet
I'm thinking for DMs we scrunch up bits of paper and throw them at each other. Either that or we... you know... actually talk to each other...

I know... a bit to radical. Maybe we save that for the 3.0 Beta UI

Yeah, actually vocal communication might be taking things a bit far. Perhaps some semi-coherent grunts? You know, like listening to FFundercats?

Excellent, vijay, I expect to see it when I awake in a few hours! :) Not that I'm going to sleep. Obviously. Because when you sleep, Louis creeps through your threads and swallows up all your posts and likes and comments, absorbing, learning, *feeding* - the very epitome of friendFEED. I fear for Johhny.....

I was avoiding your feed specifically, little Higgles.

There's only one flaw in this plan ... Actually, no, I double checked, it's 100% sound - pure gold. VC funding will arrive in the morning wrapped around a stone with will be hurled in through the cabin window. Godspeed.
- Micah Wittman
I think you are going to need to be somewhere that can accept large mail drops as the comments start flowing in to your new system.
- Travis Koger
What if FriendFeed was done entirely in a Second Life/Sims World and to comment and post you would have virtual verbal conversations. I can only think about the crowd of 50,000ish followers that would be walking around Robert Scoble and then interacting with the other FF big names. The funny thing is that actually we would all need to be on the same island so we could all talk together. Of course then it would be overrun by DEA and FBI trying to take down the cult.
- Travis Koger
FriendFeed in Second Life? Wouldn't it be quickly overwhelmed by flying genitalia, then?

call it what you want. it won't matter. you'll be wrongly identified and targeted as Taliban supporters. The last thing you will hear is a high pitched screeching sound. Then *poof* - you are gone. 250 miles away, the crew of a US Battleship will mark the mission as a success. Then they will secure and store their new BAE Systems 32 Megajoule Electromagnetic Rail Gun (32-MJ LRG) because 'officially', it doesn't exist. My suggestion: Don't go to the mountains.

Yes, I said "Friends' Feeds". Think about it. If I follow all of you in Google Reader, and then all your feeds, we've got part of FriendFeed back but in a new place.
- Louis Gray
Google Reader doesn't have the filtering and the lists and many different functions FriendFeed has, but this fits one part of the bill. And... Google knows search. Not perfect, but just thinking.
- Louis Gray
Combined with new social features in iGoogle, who knows?
- Kevin Whalen
How does this fit in the new social iGoogle (which by the way is not showing up for me) ?
- Manuel Mas
I think you can get the igoogle social features if you try the .au site (google.com.au/igsocial)
- Jenna Bilotta
hey! I recognize that guy in the top left. :)
- Jenna Bilotta
I've been playing around with the features the last 10 min. It's UGLY. I feel like I'm on Facebook, 'What does this link do?" I can't wait until the day Google employs drag and drop. And that sidebar *still* needs to be fixed. At the bottom, when I'm on my netbook, it only shows one link. I keep hoping they'd bring back that expandable bar.
- Admiral Anika
@anika we've got drag and drop in our left side bar (and a couple other places in the UI like bundle creation) Not sure what you mean by the left bar only showing one link, or "expandable bar." could you elaborate?
- Jenna Bilotta
Jenna, in the bottom part under subcriptions, yes, there's drag and drop and I should have made that clear. The top part, I don't have drag and drop capabilities. As for using GR on my netbook: That line above subscriptions is fixed. I can't move it. So when I'm on my netbook, the only thing that shows under it is one link at a time.
- Admiral Anika
Anika, try collapsing your top two sections using the minimize icons and the subscription list should take over the left nav.
- Jenna Bilotta
tried so many times to get into iGoogle. The gadgets are just so.....yucky? Even the google-built ones are horrible. Ever tried to use Latitude via iGoogle?

I decided to use Netvibes over iGoogle long ago. I agree their gadgets are...yucky.

This just reminds me that I need to spend some time reconsidering my entire approach to social networking and then starting to take steps to do something about it. I feel like I'm starting to lag (which is easy to do when FriendFeed made it easy and unified).

Thank you, Jenna! I've never noticed that little - before.

It's missing 2 big things for me - 1. seeing the multimedia photos/videos w/o having to expand, 2. conversations (the comment view in GReader is lacking). Interesting stuff.
- Stuart Miniman
Click the "Browse your stuff" link.
- Kevin Whalen
To me, what I like & use at Friendfeed boils down to 1) Subscribe to a couple of interesting people ("social network" free). 2) See their web pointers and idea messages ("unread message" pressure free) and post your own. 3) Discuss these with other interesting people (easily, quickly, uncluttered). Search + room-groups + privately subscribing to feeds are neat add-ons rounding this up. Does Google Reader offer this?
