Why is Twitter shutting down in 2012? - Steve Rubel
Plus it will have lots more (Google) Services added to it :-) - Martin Rix (Mrrix32)
@Steve I don't think it means Twitter is shutting down. I think it means Twitter will bar FriendFeed from using its feed ;-) - Rubin Sfadj
This is too kewl - Peter Dawson
Hilarious - may all come to pass before 2018. - Todd McKinney
Love it. But 2018? I'd except to be able to get Friend.com directly through the HUD in my flying car by then... Only silversurfers (like us) would still use "web browsers" in 2018. - Tony Ruscoe
Twitter feed not available? That may come to pass at 10:30. - Bill Bittner
And what's up with "low karma comments"? I thought the karma thing left us in the seventies... but yes, everything comes on cycles... - Alex von Halem
awesome. - Tobias Boonstoppel
You've got the Google thing backwards :) - Paul Buchheit
Hey, I just noticed I'm in the screenshot. :D @Paul: ? What's backwards, where? - Voyagerfan5761
Actually, it missed one important thing - a HUGE ad, taking up the top half of the screen, for a substance that is just as effective as Viagra (which was banned in 2011). - Ontario Emperor
I think Paul's saying that in 2018 ff will own google - j1m
It's comforting that hitting monkeys will still be as popular in 2018 as they are now. - Ginger Makela Riker
One thing they got wrong: by 2012, Paul will have started his own country southwest of Alaska on an artificial island. It'll be called Free Festivusland, and it'll get the top-level domain “ff”. FriendFeed will then be http://ff/ — no dots or coms or nets or orgs. - Amit Patel
@Amit P. ROFL .. very funny - Steven Hodson
@Jason lol :D - Voyagerfan5761
I think the web will be voice and audio driven in 10 years, or at least it will be available. There's even some startup now that can sense nerve pulses to the vocal chords to know what you'll say before you actually say it. - Mike Reynolds
I think comments won't be replaced by nested commented, just like @ in twitter, many people like this. - terababy
Mike Reynolds, now I'm scared. Very scared. I'll get myself in trouble before I actually hear what I'm saying (rather than after). - Ontario Emperor
For some reason, the Facebook deal makes this future user interface look more likely. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

Darren, not a mommy-2-be anymore ;) - Tamar Weinberg
Oh my goodness, you posted this while in labor? I feel so privileged! - DGentry
5 lb 14 oz at six weeks early is awesome! I hope both you and the little boy are doing well! I know, from experience, how stressful it can be to have a baby early.. My daughter was only 3lbs when she was born six months early.. I'm stoked for you! - Bill Rawlinson
awesome - of course you updated while in labor :) - mike "glemak" dunn
Bill, I hope you mean six weeks!!!! I was so scared about giving birth so early (I honestly didn't know I was in labor at all and would've gone home) but I was very lucky to have a perfectly healthy kid. - Tamar Weinberg
Our daughter was born six weeks early; she's now four years old, and is absolutely fine. Very stubborn, opinionated, etc - perfectly normal kid. - DGentry

While Twitter's trying to figure out its revenue model, everyone else is trying to figure out how to be like Twitter--including FriendFeed
it's better than twitter.. and much different - andy brudtkuhl
i agree with how Twitter is revolutionizing the way people use the internet, but i don't understand why other sites don't use that concept and innovate on top of it in order to differentiate themselves. - rommy
You do understand that Twitter was itself trying to mimic IM clients like Windows Messenger and AIM who granted users the ability to update their statuses to begin with, right? - Mitch
Jeremy Zawodny
I wish to ban "Experts Exchange" from all my Google Search results. Always.
There's a greasemonkey script to at least remove the link from the results page - Topbit
The greasemonkey script mentioned earlier: http://userscripts.org/scripts... - Aral Balkan
the link: http://userscripts.org/scripts... And there are others there - Topbit
Google needs FriendFeed filters :) - Susan Beebe
Don't you mean Expert Sex Change? - Jim Norris
I tend to include -experts-exchange.com if I'm googling for anything technical. I shouldn't have to do that. - Mark Trapp
Would be nice to get the ability to get rid of all paid service. - Tyler (Chacha)
There is never ever a reason to include EE in search results. What, I'm going to pay to get a technical question answered? Are you kidding me? - You.
Stack Overflow is the best alternative. - Rich
If you click on the cache link in Google, the "paid" answers are cached at the bottom of the page-- no signup required. :) - Jeremy Felt
Yeah the cache trick is nice but isn't that a violation of Google's TOS? providing different results to the crawler? - Bill Pennington from twhirl
No need for the cache...if you scroll all the way to the bottom the answers are there. - Brian Newman
Interesting... if you open the link (non-cached) in a new tab, the answers don't show, but if you follow the link through google in the same tab, the answers do show at the bottom. Weird. - Jeremy Felt
The answers are generally way, way on the bottom and only visible if you visit the thread from Google's search results. Frustrating: yes, but there is also a lot of good information in there... - John Mueller
i think expert exchange is a pointless service - Livingstone Fultang
I'm not alone. I'd like to bad about.com too. - Paul Grav
«Interesting... if you open the link (non-cached) in a new tab, the answers don't show, but if you follow the link through google in the same tab, the answers do show at the bottom.» This is even officially allowed by Google these days, it's called "first click free" (others might call it "sort of cloaking"). - Philipp Lenssen
I feel the same way about anything from Associated Content. - EricaJoy
CustomizeGoogle extension for Firefox (or something similar) allows user to define filters for search to make it more usable. - Daniel Schildt
Go ahead and allow the results to Experts Exchange to show, and when you get there use this script on the page. http://draconislabs.net/upload... If you need to, save a copy of the info in case you need it later. - April Russo (app103) from NoiseRiver
Jeremy, set up a Firefox Quicksearch bookmark for Google searches and just exclude the bad domain there, using the following string in the Properties/Location field: http://www.google.com/search... -inurl%3Aexperts-exchange.com - Erik Dafforn
Sorry, that truncated the URL. After .com, add /search?q=%s -inurl%3Aexperts-exchange.com - Erik Dafforn
I was able to use info from EE only recently. I would just scroll down to see the answer. Even after they'd done something to prevent that, I would still hit a link that allowed me to scroll down and read what I needed. - MiniMage, sheeple of FF
Totaly true. Everytime I search for JEE stuff this freaking pages pops up ... - Marius Quadflieg
am I the only who can kick off *wrong* (in my opinion) links in Google output? http://www.google.com/support... - A.T.
add "-expertsexchange.com" to your search query? just a thought. - Dossy Shiobara
@dossy sometimes you have a dream to have it as permanent filter, preferably with feedback to original website that they are classified as morons by 10.000.000.000 users :) - A.T.
@Jeremy, just as a hack I made you a Custom Search Engine called 'All But Experts-Exchange'. Compare the results of [http://www.google.com/cse...] with [http://www.google.com/search...]. You can access the CSE here: http://www.google.com/coop.... - DeWitt Clinton
A better solution would be for us to enable something per-site with SearchWiki [http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008...]. I actually thought we could already, let me look again. - DeWitt Clinton
I would like to do this as well, Experts Exchange is the biggest joke. Stack Overflow has everything any more... w/o hiding their answers. - Nicholas Kreidberg
How do you configure a Custom Search Engine to exclude specific sites? - Paul Grav
@Paul - once you've set up a CSE, follow the link that says "[Edit this search engine]" and look at the left-hand column under Control Panel for a link that says "Sites". Find the section called "Excluded sites" and then "Add Site". I think our user experience here could be better. The Custom Search Engines are incredibly powerful, but not nearly as discoverable as they could be. - DeWitt Clinton
DeWitt, thanks for the reminder about CSE. It's an incredibly cool feature. - Jason Wehmhoener
Include this in your query site:-expertsexchange.com - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
totally agree, I hate those wankers - Toby Graham
@Jason - thanks! Custom Search Engines are perhaps my favorite power feature that Google offers. Come to Google I/O and I'll show off something neat with them. - DeWitt Clinton
There should really be a search experiment to do this. Exclude the follow sites from your results. SearchWiki doesn't do it AFAIK. I've thought about suggesting the search experiment at work but never got around to it. I think I shall today. - EricaJoy
me too... hate experts exchange - mikepk
Erica: Google *does* offer a way to do this in your query. Try searching for YourKeyWord site:-siteIhate.com site:-OtherSiteIHate.com The "-" verbiage is how you tell the engine to *not* return results from those sites. Conversely, you could search "keyword site:MyFavoriteResource.com" to only return results from your intended target. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Scroll to the bottom works for me. And sometimes there's good answers. I think it's ridiculous that I have to scroll to the bottom but... for me it's not worth adding yet another extension or greasemonkey script. - Robert DeBord
Haven't seen it in the comments, but you can always use the SaerchWiki Labs feature to remove any unnecessary results from view. I think you can go as far as 'ban' a domain. - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
firefox addon which applies custom css styles to some websites will be very useful for EE. to show only questions and answer. hide all other crap from pages.. - Turkey banned Bloggum :(
How to have an answer to a question, in 110 comments. I love it when we help someone figure out something, FF exists with that underlying community feature: help. 9) - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
Me too! I hate that site. - Jess Lee
Jason, it has nothing to do with being ugly. It has to do with them cluttering my search results with information that's behind a paywall. - Matthew Gifford
It's a good thing they put that hyphen in there, "Expert Sexchange" is obviously not their business model! - Ryan
Google's results have, IMO, been degrading over the years and EE is just one of the problems. - Michael McKean
They are a PITA, show up everywhere but only display 1/2 of what you are looking for, very bothersome. - Allen Harkleroad
+1 the same. I really hate them - shuvalov
experts exchange sucks - leonardobag
Amen - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick from IM

If you watch Wizard of Oz backwards, a girl has a dream about taking a balloon to a far off place who then gives trinkets to a Wizard and resurrects a witch and goes to the Wizard again, following a yellow brick road to a land of munchkins, says goodbye to a good witch and resurrects another witch with a house and then wakes up to a tornado and a bad old lady who gives her a dog - oddly, the same dog in the dream.
