Just hid Mafia Wars. Take that, little brother! (Now to hide Farm Town and Farmville...)
- Dennis Jernberg
For some apps, "block" works better. My current blocks: SocialCalendar, Causes, Vampire Wars, The True Age Test, Mafia Wars. Although I am surprised at how few people know the "Hide" feature exists. It's been there since the new news feed took effect, and I'm always having people tell me (IRL) that they don't like Facebook because of all the stupid apps that appear in their feed. When I tell people to hide them, they're usually completely unaware that that is even possible.

FriendFeed has been almost completely blocked in Iran as far as we can tell. We have a large number of very active Iranian users, and we noticed a steep decline in activity yesterday. Graph below.

If Twitter were blocked and FriendFeed weren't, I'd expect an uptick in FriendFeed activity, not a 92% drop.

I.e. given all the users who've previously accessed the site from an Iran IP number, how many have been active from different numbers in the past 2 days.

If Iran thinks they have nothing to fear, then why block Friendfeed?

Frode: because the government is like China: they believe that by retarding the flow of information they will reduce the threat of protests and governmental overthrow.

I don't speak Persian, so I don't know all the searches, but there are still (luckily) a lot of Persian users posting: http://friendfeed.com/search.... If you are Persian and looking for updates, try our search engine to find the few users who still have access.
- Bret Taylor
Frode: and in Iran's case, they are run by conservative religious authorities and they don't like the fact that they are not in control of information flow like they used to be. They like to think they can still control information sources and, since they can't, they try to block places where their citizens can go to share information.

Iran restored cell phone service Sunday that had been down in the capital since Saturday. But Iranians still could not send text messages from their mobile phones, and the government increased its Internet filtering in an apparent attempt to undercut opposition voices. Social networking sites including Facebook and Twitter were also not working.

Stanislas: not to mention they encourage their smartest and richest people to leave (the ones who have technical skills). There's a reason why Silicon Valley has 10,000 or more Iranians living here. Their government sucks and the people are getting tired of it. Of course if their government was great I would never have met my wife (who grew up in Tehran). So, there is good to come out of a crappy government! :-)

it has always seemed to me that the iranian user base is ENORMOUS here. wow. unbelievable.

It is interesting how much civil unrest that is brewing across the globe towards their governments. The knee jerk reactions in attempting to block certain websites shows how much they didn't expect the net to become such a widespread conduit for cutting through the bs and informing those that wish to know. I wish those who take a stand all the best.

Another way for those that are in Iran is to access through Netvibes (but I don't know if it works or if it's blocked too), adding Friendfeed, Gmail and so on such as modules

Yes, Friendfeed is blocked in Iran. Right now the papers and TV channels here are controlled by the government and our access to satellite channels is blocked too.

The Iranian websites that people used to exchange information about the election protests in Iran are under cyber-attacks by the government forces and from anonymous sources. Many of them are down right now. These Iranian websites were our few last remaining channels to inform people. What can we do about that? Is there anyone out there who can help us with this?

Unfortunately a new job will mean no FF any more. It's rare to get a home based role but I was amazingly lucky that my last one (at least for 6 months or so) was home-based and had some slack time. So it allowed me to play around with FF. But that was a very, very lucky, it won't happen again I'm pretty sure.
- Kol Tregaskes
But if I can and have the time I'm happy to help out here, I love doing the 'tech support' in the Feedback group for one thing.
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol: The above is precisely what I think you should be paid for. I know you love doing it, and would do it for free, but if/when you find other work your presence and attention to the subject would be missed. Thus I think you should be paid for your efforts. (positivity man; visualize whirled peas!)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
And I did think Kol did work for FF for the longest time, BTW.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I do love doing it, hehe. I'm not expert, though, I'm not a dev. I'm more an odd-jobs man, can do a bit of everything but don't really specialise in any one thing. I love the community here too, the people on here are lovely. It's the first (and only) online community I've even contributed to let alone dived in like I have. Hehe. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
If I was paid I'd do a far better job though. :-) It might also be a good idea too as it would mean I'd have to slow down on what I share and concentrate on replying to posts here and everything on FF - I know I share a LOT! I've recently got a "help"saved search created. I've not really used it yet but tweaked it today and have found all these posts from people (mainly on their own feeds and not on any of the feedback or other groups) that are asking for help. So I'm gonna start tracking those too.

Thanks, Flippity. Things are slowly picking up in the job market but nothing like what it was last year when I was searching.
- Kol Tregaskes
I suppose some to-the-point questions are are we getting enough support from the FF devs in groups such as the Feedback group, should they be replying to every support post or should us, the users, be helping out, do you think there are too many groups for support (like my beginners group, is that really needed, for example?) and do you prefer support queries from users over devs or vice versa?
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm sure the FF devs are very busy and rely on the users helping out as much as we can. I try and reply to any unanswered queries but there are a few that need some help from the devs that seem to go astray. What does everyone think?
- Kol Tregaskes
He IS the community manager :)
- Roberto Bonini
BTW, I post these types of questions for not only to get responses from the FF community and get them involved but (hopefully) they also help out the FF devs?
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol: I prefer that al of the above happen. A) FF have online support personell (i.e.you) keeping a handle on things, and escalating issues to devs. B) Devs available when they can be, and during big rollouts (as they were when the beta went into production) and C) users need to help themselves out too.-which brings us back to the guy in A who's keeping any eye on it all and escalating users' ideas to the devs. etc etc.

When I worked in the games industry (yes another story, sorry) they created a new role which the US side already had. It was for mastering games CD, carts, etc. They called it Code Librarian! Well I got ripped apart by the testers (one in particular) and it changed to Conan the Barbarian. All a great laugh, even for me. But thankfully it was changed to Code Supervisor. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Well I've posted a question here: http://ff.im/2J8V5
- Kol Tregaskes
Although I once said that Kol deserved that T-shirt, I came to realise at a certain moment that he deserved a bigger gift from those guys. Maybe a bigger T-shirt, some people might say, but at least a T-shirt with a text like: "They wanted to give me their jobs, but I couldn't get my eyes of those wonderful FriendFeed-feeds." If that all is gonna fit on a shirt....
- Ton Zijp
Ton, I was very happy with a t-shirt. It was free and sent all the way from America! I don't receive many gifts but I'm always very appreciative of free presents, help and guidance. This reminds me, I need to sort out a photo of it, it was received a few days ago but my dog covered it with mud almost as soon as I pulled it out of the parcel, hehe. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Ton: Maybe the T-shirt will need one of those new "more" links ;-)

from twhirl
I agree Chris. When I was a kid, I used to listen to the weekly addresses. When the WH started putting the text online, I'd just read it. When they started posting the audio, it made it easier to do it on my time. And I like going back through the archives, though it's annoying that the current way the WH posts the address, no longer give short summaries. This will make it even easier to view/listen when I want.
- Anika
Certainly beats preempting your favourite TV show. "We now return to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress."
- Andrew Smith

Melanie the WH has been archiving the transcript and audio on whitehouse.gov for awhile now. The weekly addresses will still be on the radio as they have for the past 80 or so years.
- Anika
Anika, Thank you. I was aware of the WH site for some time. But I was concerned that the DD not be left out. It is good to know that these communications will still be radio-accessible. That is all many of these people have or understand. And that's all right. Their need and wisdom are still very vital.
