DON"T GO TO YAARI.com! I received a spam invite from someone I know and went to the site. I added my email and created password. it just so happened that the password I created for the site was the same as for my email. Yarri then spammed everyone in my gmail address book (the email i used). Even after i asked in NOT to invite the ten or so people it selected for me to invite. - Christian Anderson

That explains all the invites I got - Deepak

Thank goodness, although I am completely surprised at the lack of energy from the development community in terms of maintaining the project and bringing it forward since it was set loose. This is an amazing tool with endless possibilities. Once it was open-sourced it practically fell on its face. - Glenn Batuyong

I was getting worried about it. - Jon Bohlinger

“Has anyone else jumped on either Plurk or Indenti.ca ? Twitter still has most people but the conversation is dying there as people can only really use the web page to stay up to date. Thoughts on the future of micro-blogging / status update services?”

I'm on both. identi.ca is weird. There's no good way to find people. Plurk = ugly but I like the timeline feature. - Johnny Baker

I just wish twitter could complete it's upgrades and have things running fast and easy - it would even take the pressure off feeling like I have to use friendfeed like twitter/microblogging... - Tony

Seems like Plurk to me — something I've joined but will most probably never use. - Vincent X

So the silly thing is that I needed to tell identi.ca to have my account follow yours, when it is obvious from the one-million other identical services we're both on that this has happened before... - DeWitt Clinton

I think I caught join-itis from Leo and Amber LOL - Harry Myhre

I'll second that. but I think the new one problem is that half the fun of these things is collecting friends, and once it's clear that people have gamed the system, and all of the delayed social awkwardnesses of the big internet become apparent... everyone wants to move on. don't blame them. maybe a more fragmented space will make twitter work better ;) - tycho garen

I registered my moniker but don't have the wherewithall to do more than that right now - Adrienne Van Houten

Tycho, how has anyone "gamed" the system? - Veronica

Bright shiny new app FATIGUE anyone???? - Susan Beebe

One has to draw the line somewhere with all of these new services to join. Mine is Friendfeed. There has to be something really compelling about any new service for me to join now. - Chris Rodgers

We're the social networking lemmings.... - Jonathon

Chris - excellent point... ok so what is *THE* killer app criteria that makes you LOOK? i.e. what is that "something really compelling" look like to you? - Susan Beebe

I'm not joining indenti.ca. Got a post up on Mashable about it. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

maybe I'm missing something, but I didn't really see anything at identi.ca to make me want to use it again. What's the big woof? - Harry Myhre

Harry: the "big woof" is the *RUSH* by early adopters to add more followers than YOU or I have on a bright new shiny app so they look cooler than you? Zzzzzzzz - Susan Beebe

Actually Susan, it's not about being cooler than anyone (but wow, glad you think so highly of me). It's part of my job to know how these things work. Also, I tend to join early to secure my name so it's not abused, which has happened in the past. - Veronica

Veronica you're cool. - John Worthington

Yeah true, by joining early , I always get to use elranchero ! - Harry Myhre

People are partyin' like it's 1999 on identi.ca LOL jeez - Harry Myhre

BTW, not feelin' it. - Veronica

Likely sign up, add the usual friends, play with a day or so and come running back to the FF/Twitter mega-combo. - Vince DeGeorge

Me neither Veronica...sorta basic huh? - Susan Beebe

I just joined the new thing too. identi.ca/jrmehle - Jared Mehle

never had an OpenID until this! Never could figure out how to get one. yahoo has made it easy now! - Harry Myhre

This might be a dumb question (at 1 AM) but why aren't people migrating to Pownce? - Charlie Anzman

Sadly, my Pownce page won't work anymore. It's a known issue with them, I guess. :( - Veronica

Daniel Burka actually mentioned recently that the Pownce issues unfortunately most affect users with a large number of friends on their account, but that it will be improving in the coming weeks. - Vincent X

I'm not joining...until somebody hits 5,000 subscribers. On plurk, all the biggies (leo, scoble, veronica) only have 1,000 friends/fans each. I wonder if Loic will create his own twitter service add-on to bundle w/ seesmic and twhirl? - Pokai

Hmmm, Pokai, you may be onto something - a service is not worth joining until XXX has X,XXX followers. That just may work. I like it! - Vince DeGeorge

That's a bummer on Pownce. Didn't really go there a lot but liked it. Thought they did a really good job with the UI. - Charlie Anzman

yeah i agree on pownce. Signed up, looked at it. Shrugged. Never used it! Digg is cool though. - Harry Myhre

I find it kinda easy with Ping... I barely realize where I am posting to, I just put out the content - Chacha

I checked pownce...kevin has 15,000 fans, then leo 4,500, veronica 5,000, Scoble 3,600 so there is mass at pownce, but kevin has said that pownce is more for sharing media than status/thoughts... - Pokai

@Jesse like what?! I can't find a use-case to use twitter anymore except 1.If you use sms. 2. if all your friends are on twitter - Shivanand Velmurugan

Shivanand I use it for the friends that haven't jumped ship - I still have a much larger network on Twitter than FriendFeed. I also use it as a messaging platform. FriendFeed still has no good way to direct message or send public messages to people. It is comment on existing posts, send a single share, or nothing. - Jesse Stay

Shivanand and you do have to admit that the SMS Tracking (when it works) is pretty cool stuff. I would rather push notifications than having to go pull for breaking news. - Jesse Stay

Jesse: True, but only if you don't live in Canada :) (I pay 30c per sms - not funny when I enable notifications on Scoble ) - Shivanand Velmurugan

Shivanand I'm actually very excited for the next gen iPhone push notifications system. From that I won't need SMS - I can just use Google Talk for everything (hopefully). - Jesse Stay

very true, I think if we do away with all this in-efficient modes of comm (like phone, email, sms, voicemail etc) and use purely pub-sub based systems, life would be so much easier :) - Shivanand Velmurugan

if I could import from FF to Twittet it would be a perfect solution. - Johnny Baker

JB, that would be easy to do. - Dave Winer

Dave, why not skip Twitter entirely. With FriendFeed you can choose a cool graphic to go with your link. You can't do that with Twitter. Really FF is a superior platform. - Thomas Hawk

I actually prefer to post links on Friendfeed. On Friendfeed, I don't have to use a URL shortener. - Morton Fox

jump to the end: post to FF first. these days it seems you'd be right more often than you are not... - Russell Holliman

Thomas it's the people. There are a lot of people who use Twitter who don't use FF. It's only geeks here near as I can tell. I don't think the people here are all that interested in some of the things I'm interested in. And there are a lot more idiot Republicans here. I like intelligent people and there aren't too many smart folk who are willing to admit to being Republican these days. So you're pretty much left with the slimedogs. Present company excepted of course. :-) - Dave Winer

I'd go FF first. Most conversations of value based on the link will happen here anyway. - Duncan Riley

I'm using FF differently than Twitter. I follow many fewer here and am being followed by many fewer. I like the intimacy, talking mostly with people I actually know in most cases. At Twitter I have many followers and use it to get more viewership of a new blog post. - shelisrael1

You can always post on twitter first, and import it in ff. - Jacob

why would you want to post to twitter directly? - Sean Savage

Duncan and Thomas have it right. You always have the option of using Twitter but participating in Friendfeed returns more. I use both as many do (but hide and just occasionally look at the Twitter posts to avoid overload). It's getting better each week. Simply a matter of how YOU choose to set it up. - Charlie Anzman

I have advanced degrees and an IQ of 135; I've been a highly successful educator at both the secondary and collegiate levels. But because I identify with the Republican party, I'm an idiot according to Dave Winer. - Gregory Pittman via fftogo

Gregory... That extra 4 points I have on you in the IQ stakes must be the part that accounts for sarcasm, humor and the ability to know that generalisations are rarely accurate... - John Worthington

@John - or the part that does reading comprehension, since Gregory obviously failed to parse "a lot more", "not too many", and "pretty much". - Jeremy Raines

watch out, this policy made me fell in-love with FriendFeed... - Orli Yakuel

Enjoy! Some Hebrew Love. http://tinyurl.com/6jwkf6 - Igor The Troll

Cool. That way Twitter can stay up. ;-) - Vic Podcaster

idiot republicans? slimedogs? Even though I'm a democrat I find broad sweeping statements like that to be problematic. I'd like to think that I'm more open minded than that. I also think that politics are not the only thing to talk about in the world and think that gauging someone's intelligence or the value of their conversation by their political party affiliation is, well, pretty idiotic. - Thomas Hawk

Getting back to the subject, why not start posting here first anyway? - David Weiner

Thomas is one of an ever-decreasing number of people from all points of the political spectrum for whom disagreement on issues doesn't degrade to personal attacks. Thomas and I might disagree on what the problems are and what the solutions to those problems are, but we would be able to have a valuable conversation. I appreciate that very much. - Gregory Pittman

I usually do it on both. - Thejesh GN

it's funny how Americans can feel in their stomach being part of Rep or Dems, when the whole world knows deep in their stomach that there is not a glinch that diferentiate both parties a part from the color of the tie, i'm not saying we are better in Europe or elsewhere, i'm saying we're all screwed, - Ben Borges

@Ben yeah democracy sucks that way... naturally breeds moderate points of view - Rubin Sfadj

Good policy! I'm starting to followthat too. - Shannon Low via twhirl

is it still democracy ? i'v seen bush with a "christian cruz" on his back while speaking on tv, (terrorist) for me it's middle age democracy. - Ben Borges

I am trying to do this too, but my friends aren't actively using FF yet. - Michelle Lentz

Starting on FriendFeed today. Put me down as an AFTU (Another Frustrated Twitter User). - Michael E. Rubin

I'm using ping.fm to do this. - Gary Walter

that's been my policy of late...i can't even follow ppl on twitter today - Sarah Perez

I actually prefer to use Twitter for less important messages and FriendFeed for stuff when I want to generate conversation. The idea behind my logic is that some people, to reduce the noise, block all tweets, as they consider tweets less important. I agree with these folk, so I use Twitter for stuff that they're probably not interested in. - possible248 via NoiseRiver

Cancer Cured? Granulocytes Treatment Worked 100 Percent In Mice Work But Will It Work In Humans? | Scientific Blogging

"The study, given the go-ahead by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, will involve treating human cancer patients with white blood cells from healthy young people whose immune systems produce cells with high levels of cancer-fighting activity. The basis of the study is the scientists' discovery, published five years ago, of a cancer-resistant mouse and their subsequent finding that white blood cells from that mouse and its offspring cured advanced cancers in ordinary laboratory mice. They have since identified similar cancer-killing activity in the white blood cells of some healthy humans. "In mice, we've been able to eradicate even highly aggressive forms of malignancy with extremely large tumors," Cui said. "Hopefully, we will see the same results in humans. Our laboratory studies indicate that this cancer-fighting ability is even stronger in healthy humans." The team has tested human cancer-fighting cells from healthy donors against human cervical, prostate and breast cancer cells in the laborator" - Paul Buchheit via Bookmarklet

So awesome, great work! I love it. I'm sure you're aware but longer (horizontally) posts, such as those with multiple photos, do funky things to the layout. - Jake

@Jake, et al: we will do some work for posts with a lot of media to make it work better. Thanks for the feedback. - Bret Taylor

It looks like the UAT testing with Scoble and team worked marvelously well - nice job Bret!! :*) - Susan Beebe

Finally! I love it, great job, guys. - Guillermo Esteves

This is FANTASTIC! Thanks so much for it. Just picked it up about an hour ago. - BISQ via twhirl

Bret: found one thing missing: "Hide." Where did it go? - Robert Scoble

using it now. Perfect! - shaun mclane

I guess I am in the minority. Thanks for letting us go back to the old version. :-) - Michael Carter

nice. Testing comments right now! - Ben Gracewood

I am back to the old version too. I miss Everyone tab, Search, and Hide features - Robert Scoble

i agree with one of the comments. why a separate blog to capture comments - get them all using FF. easier to follow discussion. iphone interface looks great - i think i'm going to find myself using it a lot on my phone - naveen

need's hide. - Thomas Hawk

Awsome! It just needs search and it would be perfect! As far as the old interface went, it was pretty good for the iPhone as well. - darnell

@Scoble: thanks for the feedback. They were known problems, but I think we can find the space to fit them in. Search is at the botto of every page, FYI. - Bret Taylor

Very nice. Much prefer it to FFtogo ... - Patrick Jordan

Very nice. However, on the iPhone it's very easy to jump to the top of the page (just tap the top bar) and very hard to get to the bottom of a long page (lots of scrolling). Can search be moved to the top? - Stephen Mack

Very nice. Makes it much more useful on my iPhone. Like the picture option... - simonpure

I agree with Stephen about "search". It's been quite the workout on the thumbs. - m.0

Like the FF iPhone site, wish they would implement the same "hide" options as the full FF site. - Joe Perrin

Didn't Obama have a bigger margin before? - Brian Carter

It was 48:41 earlier in June, but that's negligible. There may have been wider margins in different polls, but that's the widest gap in Gallup I saw. - steplow

Does it matter who wins? Same Shit packaged differently! The Dems showed just exactly how different they are with FISA. Elect a Dog and save some money! - Igor The Troll
