yeah, similar - frankly i've never gotta hang of bookmarking...I keep tools i need to viisit regularly in my toolbar and then every other one i tend to search google for! :) - Zee from WeDoCreative

socially through delicious w/ some on Google bookmarks & Yahoo bookmarks - scott

I always do it socially, unless I have a tab open that I haven't looked at yet and need to close the browser. Then I just delete them again once I've looked at them. - Geoff Girardin

Socially - I rarely mark bookmarks as private, but if I do, they're short-term (as with Jandy). - flammable

I always bookmark socially, unless it's local scope (eg intranet) - David Slattery

Socially. I don't see the point of bookmarking locally as socially works both ways and locally only serves me. Plus I'd rather have all my links saved to the cloud and my desktop rather than just the desktop. - Jon Gosier

both.. diigo and foxmarks ftw! - Tim Hoeck

I have been using the hell out of Read This Later. At least as far as marking things to read later... *cough* Once I've checked something out, tho, it usually ends up on delicious or somewhere. - abacab

I use both, depending on what I'm bookmarking. - LouCypher

local bookmarks are for porn and you all know it - Mitch

Local for sites I like and If I think other people like the site I add it to stumbleupon or delicious It all really depends. - Snakeyes11 via twhirl

I've started using Twine as well. - Ian May

I used to bookmark by creating contacts. That way they got synchronised to my mobile device. But I don't bookmark since FF3. Browser history = bookmarks. For me it's quicker to type a few letters in the address bar and then pick one of my browser's auto-complete options - Jim Hawkins

@Zee I'm glad someone else uses that method! - David Young

both - Nebojsa Radovic via twhirl

love the ability to access information from any computer in the world, even though I rarely don't have my laptop - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Both too, mostly social... But I think that Delicious is not that social. - Kristian Salonen

Socially. But I agree with Kristian: Delicious have now to improve the social (interaction) side of the whole stuff. - Thierry R. Andriamirado

I bookmark socially using delicious more. stuff with short shelf life i do it with digg. - Carolyn Chan

Socially, Delicious. - Leandro Ardissone

socially, now using diigo since i can have bookmarks private, public or only shared with group/project members only (especially on projects which has some confidentiality issues) - Naor

socially, diigo - Jennifer Van Grove

I do what Jandy does, though I bookmark locally as well if it's something important or feel I'll be visiting over and over. - Kol Tregaskes

Delicious. Never looked back. - Roberto Bonini

I usually bookmark socially. Share, learn, and grow together. :) - Daynah

Somewhere in the past few years, I got too lazy to bookmark at all. Most of my computers almost always have something like 8 windows open with 35 or so tabs between them, and I might have IE, Chrome and or Safari open, too. Wonder what a psychiatrist would make of that. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

With FF related items we can see how many people posted and bookmarked any one page. Its great. - Roberto Bonini

Both, one off stuff I keep for reference goes to delicious, stuff I use regularly and want to bookmark for ease of access goes into Google Bookmarks, nothing goes into the browsers local bookmarks. - Andy Davies

Both. I primarily bookmark locally with foxmark syncing but also bookmark socially w/ magnolia. - tsudohnimh

A little of both. - Paul W. Swansen

I prefer gizmodo and techcrunch. You should try both of those. - Pete Delucchi

I hate you people. Akiva, you're sleeping on the couch tonight. Pete, you're sleeping outdoors. - Rochelle

What are you into? - Helen Sventitsky

365tomorrows.com - a new piece of flash fiction every day. http://www.365tomorrows.com/ - Steven Perez

Don't forget Mashable! and CrunchGear :D - Far

Helen, I dunno! Stuff. Food things, craft things, baby/kid/family stuff, domestic/house stuff, random facts and learning, etc. - Rochelle

ANABlog.com is good. - Helen Sventitsky

it's cold enough in my apartment to be outdoors, so no need for the banishment, Rochelle; also, I used to read that huffington crap a lot, but now that the election is done, I'm already losing interest - Pete Delucchi

web comics? http://samandfuzzy.com/ http://www.leasticoulddo.com http://www.daniellecorsetto.co... - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

HuffPo, along with DailyKos, are both punishable by death in this house. - Akiva Moskovitz

Helen, that website doesn't work. - Rochelle

I really enjoy zenhabits and springwise - Zee from WeDoCreative

Simple Dollar, Wise Bread, Consumerist - Morton Fox

My bad. This is the URL I meant. http://www.analogartsensemble.... - Helen Sventitsky

Helen, anal WHAT? - Akiva Moskovitz

Testing now. I think this app was made for me! Kudos, Zee!!! - Bec Rowe

OMG IT WORKS! Squee! Zee, I could kiss you!! - Bec Rowe

awww....*blush*...My address is 51, Pet... :P - Zee from WeDoCreative

Awesome! Unavailable in India though :( - Parth Awasthi

AWESOME. Thank you ZEE - tsudohnimh

Just like http://jott.com/ ?? - Joel Bennett

Yes comparable to Jott but FREE!@! - tsudohnimh

i'm a fan of Dial2Do already. Evernote and RTM support. And available in France! - Adarsh

Hmm... the translate part, at least, does not work. Tried twice, got no reply :( - Adam Lasnik

Also, I'm concerned and bummed that it asks for so many passwords when it could use safer authorization options. For instance, it rightly uses FF's remote key (rather than password), and should similarly use Google's option for authenticating users via signins on the google.com domain. - Adam Lasnik

Okay, sorry, one more comment; anyone else curious about a business/revenue model? ;) - Adam Lasnik

Someone needs to make a Skype version of this - Bryce

This video is at the end of the line. We shot the other parts on HD so we have to edit those together and upload them after we get home in a couple of weeks. - Robert Scoble

"We still need a human part of it." Explaining why they couldn't automate the end of the line where final Q&A check is. "Human can be upgraded very fast," was the quote on the video. Another line I like is "Seagate workers are well grounded." Each one is grounded twice: once through their special shoes the conductive floor they are on and a second time through a strap that hooks onto their clothing which has little wires designed to gather static electricity and pass it to the ground instead of into drives. - Robert Scoble

really interesting Robert - yeah, i loved the 'human beings can be upgraded easily" too :) - Zee from WeDoCreative

cool - Alex Hammer

I would assume the reason why you can't upload the video to Kyte.tv to the great firewall of china. - imabonehead

ima: yeah, that could be it. Interesting my email is sending again and FriendFeed is wicked fast here, just like at home. Hello to my censors! :-) - Robert Scoble

Interesting video. Used Seagate SCSI Drives in past years. Now I see why China is kicking tail in mfg. - JimmyJet

I'm watching in China. What a world. - Robert Scoble

Watching now -- I think the appearance of "I'm on top of it and look at all these big names" is the story more than anything else. This is a confidence game and the experience and names behind him are to build confidence. - Joe Beda

I think we're all watching this. - Mike Doeff

Recording audio of the press conference. - Dave Winer

Re recording -- I'll be impressed if the video of this immediately shows up on change.gov. It would be even better if they were streaming from there. - Joe Beda

Great move to build confidence, something Bush has been completely unable to do. - Jason Kaneshiro

he's really stressing and emphasizing the middle class. - Thomas Hawk

seems to be stressing extension of unemployment benefits, the middle class and helping state and local govts. Nobody's asked him about the auto industry yet. - Thomas Hawk

I'm glad to hear the focus on job loss / creation. - Jeff P. Henderson

He pretty much promised that he wouldn't let auto industry down in his initial comments. No specifics but basically a declaration of "too big to fail." Didn't he say "backbone of American manufacturing"? - Joe Beda

Obama has a good point. As much as I'd like to see the Auto industry deal with this on their own, it would be to big a fail, to big a loss of jobs and a significant drag on the economy to passively let the US auto industry die. - Jeff P. Henderson

Big FAIL on books, dog and schools questions. This is not a "human interest" interview. - Joe Beda

@Jeff. Oh wow, that doesn't look good for getting rid of the oil industry then. - Wizetux

they're asking him about what kind of dog he's going to get now. Says he's going to get a hypo allerginic dog and preference for a shelter dog. No decision on public or private school for his kids yet. - Thomas Hawk

I can't believe that they're asking him about his dog and nobody's brought up the U.S. automakers yet. - Thomas Hawk

think Obama will need to brush up on his QnA skills. - MikeAmundsen

I am not sure, I think he is doing a pretty good job. I mean it isn't like he could do worse than what we have seen in the last 8 years. - Wizetux

I thought he sounded very confident and Presidential in the conference. - Thomas Hawk

@Wiztex, don't think saving the auto industry has anything to do with saving or killing the oil industry. It will not go away anytime soon. - Jeff P. Henderson

Time to deliver ( soon )....clock has started to tick - imran

@Jeff: I was more talking about how the oil industry is so entrenched in our economy and provides so many jobs, that if you can't let the auto industry fail on this basis, then we will never be able to let the oil industry fail for the same reasons. - Wizetux

I loved Obama in this first press conference. He is so much better than Bush it isn't funny at communicating. On CNN here in China they showed the stock market ticker the whole time and it was nice to see the market stayed confident through the whole thing. Also, I liked that he moderated his tax plan and that he's focusing on stimulus, saying "that's the first thing I'd do as President" if it doesn't get done earlier. - Robert Scoble

@imran -- I dunno -- the clock doesn't really start ticking until Jan. The first part of his statement was to say that there is only one president at a time. - Joe Beda

I liked the emphasis on the middle class (of which I am proudly a part). More jobs, another stimulus, extension of unemployment benefits, can't argue with any of that. So much better than the "cut taxes on the rich, and wait (hope) it trickles down to the middle class" garbage of the last 8 years. - Jason Kaneshiro

He had 17 people on stage with him as part of his economic team. - Thomas Hawk

Not a bad press conference. Schmidt for CTO in '09? - Thomas Stromberg

@Wizetux, Sorry I totally missed your point. I agree with your point. Although I think the oil industry is in a much better position than the auto industry and they do realize that the days of cheap and easy oil are numbered. All of them are investing in alternative energy development. For instance, BP is already one of the largest photo voltaic panel producers. - Jeff P. Henderson

Thomas: I would really hate it to see Schmidt as CTO. Need someone a little more removed from big business. I want someone like Larry Lessig. - Robert Scoble

I liked the way they called him "sir" and the one person who called him Senator really stood out. It was definitely a refreshing change from Bush press conferences. Didn't like the swipe he took at Nancy Reagan, or the attempt at self-deprecation when he called himself a mutt. But 9.5 out of 10. Good job. - Dave Winer

Lessig++ - Joe Beda

Dave: I liked the mutt quote, but agree with you about Nancy. - Robert Scoble

Lessig++. IMO, The job requirements include: deep tech understanding, deep understanding of government (especially legislation), technology platform neutrality, and understanding of the transformative power of technology. Sorry, but Schmidt doesn't meet any of those (nether does Ballmer, btw). - Chris Hollander

the Nancy Reagan quote was a bit out of place. He was trying to be funny but probably shouldn't have at the expense of an Ex-President's widow. That said, I'm sure a first Presidential Elect news conference is a very nerve racking thing and I think he did a very good job and sounded very confident. A very good move having his economic team up there with him. That sent a powerful message about his number one priority. - Thomas Hawk

I thought Obama did a good job. I doubt Schmidt for CTO, or any other CEO of a major company. There's plenty of smart non-CEOs for that job that aren't critical to the economic stability of their companies. On the auto bailout, if they're too big to fail, are they too big to suck? Because if I'm being forced to lend or buy equity in these companies, I like to specify what they build. - Chris White

@ Joe: All indicates recession is deepening, so Senator must get ready for worsening situation, before he takes his seat at cockpit in severe economic turbulence, and disengage bush's auto pilot. - imran

@Wizetux There is a huge difference between a sudden failure of an entire industry as opposed to a gradual phasing out. Should the auto industry have mass layoffs and plant and dealership closings it would put hundreds of thousands of citizens out of work immediately with no time to re-train them or ease them into other work. We see industries become extinct all the time, just not in a matter of months (for the most part). - Jeff Jones

someone should have asked him a more direct question though about GM/Ford/Chrysler. I can't believe they asked him about what kind of a dog he was going to get but didn't ask him about one of the most pressing economic questions around right now. - Thomas Hawk

Thomas, it's typical of a failed mainstream media industry flailing about. - Bob M. Montgomery via twhirl

Any speculation on Buffet's place in Obama's team? - Jeff B

Is it just me, or does it seem like political discussion on FF has gotten more intelligent now that the election is over? - Bruce Lewis via fftogo

totally - seems everyone has mellowed out about everything a huge amount - Richard Bradshaw

@Jeff B. I think Buffet is a really outside chance for Sec Treasury. He's said he doesn't want to work in politics in the past and I'd assume that his taking this position would require him to put his personal assets in a blind trust or treasury securities, neither which he'd want to do. Then there's also the question about what it would do to Berkshire Hathaway's stock price. - Thomas Hawk

What a brilliant man. He's spot on, I'm so sick of people crying victim all the time. - Jon Gosier

Awesome Quote - Bryan Thatcher via twhirl

I wonder how this chart competes with FriendFeed's internal data. Paul, do you want to comment on that? - sebmos

If you compare it to Twitter, you'll see Twitter growing ad a lower percentage but higher numbers despite the recent string of outages they've had. http://siteanalytics.compete.c... - Joel Gray

We need a room in FriendFeed to display growth stats and info on breakdown of new users entering FF arena. Of course we'd need Bret / Paul to supply the data and visualization chart info, etc. - Susan Beebe

prediction. Within one year FF has more unique visitors than Twitter. - Thomas Hawk

@Thomas Hawk: Having used FF for a few days now, the only way I can see Twitter growing is if it is acquired by a larger company (Yahoo!?). - Jake (aka Jawee) via twhirl

@Thomas - I say 9 months - Bwana

I love FF, but I'll take you both up (thomas & bwana) on that prediction, unless Twitter completely implodes and loses significant portions of it's userbase, I don't think FF will catch up within a year. - felix

It's hard to say, but IMO Twitter is better suited to the less-technical folks. FF puts a lot of information (potentially) in front of someone and I can see that being confusing to a large cross-section of users. Of course, FF may (hopefully will) continue to add features that might help cut down the noise for those that do not want it which could lend weight to @Thomas' prediction. - Joel Gray

I'll truly believe in the growth of FF when the conversations aren't about FF. - William Beem

that looks like a level off. I think ff loses a lot by not feeding vanity. good for me though, but it chases off the twitter whores - ⓃⓄⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂⓄⓃ

oh, no. no, no, no. i did not see this until now. - edythe

and i own stock :-( - Ňicķ

so do i. :( - edythe

edythe, why don't you like noses in your emoticons? B-) - Ňicķ

I don't own the stock. Not directly anyway. - Morton Fox

Nick, I am not sure. But I have noticed you use a nose at all times. I wonder what it means about me...about you... ;) and what is that one? Is he wearing sunglasses? - edythe

Yes, sunglasses! I remember when I learned about emoticons back in the BBS days. I thought they were awesome. I've always used noses, and I never thought emoticons were uncool, even in the early internet years when they started to get kinda played out. They're so useful! My fav is the winker: ;-) - Ňicķ

i think i like the winker best, too. most versatile. but i also like :O because it's very cute. and also expressive. - edythe

You also like the super happy mouth :D which i never really use - Ňicķ

but you can't do blushing in regular old text emoticons, right? - edythe

The whole reason widgets exist is to allow for a modular approach of adding functionality to a web space. The core function of the product is extended by adding modular accessories for the people who want them. If you take the "throw everything" in approach you end up with something too feature rich for the layman and probably not customizable enough for the pro. - Jon Gosier

So how do we move from the way we use widgets today for something more clean? - Ben Borges via fftogo

i think it depends on the widget provider, i really like the way adaptive blue does theirs - heres an example of one in the flow of my tumblr acct http://glemak.tumblr.com/post/... - the design is simple yet robust as you click through & the performance is very fast, because its dynamic and shows what movies i have at home currently i'd want it in my sidebar instead of scrolling down and off the page ultimately - it also will appear in my ff profile so others can sample/comment - mike "glemak" dunn
