Mo nothing wrong with Sydney, even if I did flee the place at 21 :-) - Duncan Riley
Hehe, I fled it at 23, after 3 months there :) - Mo Kargas
I wouldn't live anywhere else. Sunny days, beautiful women (and young ladies), excellent food, music, arts and festivals, wine . . . slow broadband connections though; someone should do something about that . . .yeah, Adelaide is great. - Chris Loft
That's it Chris. I love Adelaide. I'll probably be moving within the next 12 months though unfortunately. Gotta follow the money trail :( - Mo Kargas
"You're right. Instead of "Did you know that when you die, there's nothing" or "Darwin showed you're related to a monkey?" he could have said: "Do you know the relief of not worrying about heaven or hell?" and "Darwin showed that life can make perfect sense without a god." He missed a great opportunity. Damn comedians. Always putting laffs first." - Joshua Nunn
2 is a definite and would find it more useful than any other IM feature. - Kol Tregaskes
Brian, I'm giving that a go now, so just enter your name in the filter box? - Kol Tregaskes
Yep... just put your FF username (and anything else you'd like to see separated by commas) in the filter box. - Brian Roy
The developer API still lacks important features - Ozkan ALTUNER
Brian.. that is very cool. I like being able to filter for specific words. Is the IM portion not working at the moment? Unfortunately, this doesn't really do any of the things listed above - Tim Hoeck
seems like a great start, I just hope its more stable than most chat bots seem to be ;) - immaterial
I just want to reiterate some of the IM requests. First, IM when someone comments on something I have already commented on would be great. Also having the name of the user, not the id would be helpful as well. - Rob Diana
Thanks for the feedback. You can see the name of the user when you type @user. - Dan Hsiao
that is really cool Dan, thanks! I didn't realize you could do that... any chance of following all conversations I "join"? - Tim Hoeck

I'd like a universal option that if I reply to a twitter from someone it ALWAYS gets sent back to twitter as an @reply. That way I can use IM to reply to an entry, and know it will be sent back to twitter. - Joshua Nunn
“To have the real-time option available everywhere would be really nice. Don't know if it;s technically possible but if it's on your home feed then it should be right? I would also like the real-time view to look just like the regular view but auto-update. The current real-time view is no good imo.”
I like having the two options available - main view for information sifting, and real-time for information dump. Taking that away leaves me with contextless twitter streams and other messed up data. - Joshua Nunn
Agreed. I want all the people I follow to make friendfeed accounts and just put their twitter accounts in, then I can just follow allong in one place - Joshua Nunn
via IM
Joshua, you can make imaginary friends on Friendfeed for that. I never even go to Twitter.com because all of my non-Friendfeed friends show up here as imaginary friends. All in one place! - Rochelle
I'm thinking of dropping twitter's main interface at least. There's not a terrible amount of value here for me past a microblog that people rarely reply to (more self-absorbed perhaps?). I get more valuable interaction here on FF - Mo Kargas
@Rochelle I've done that for my favourite people, but it's tedious to do it for everyone. Plus I can't follow people as imaginary-friends if they have their posts protected. - Joshua Nunn
FF needs to can showing @replies in any case. I don't really want to have those embedded in my FF feed. - Mo Kargas
More and more FF is the center of my social media, with Twitter just being a sort of extension. But Twitter is just now getting mainstream, so I think we are stuck with both for awhile. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
I use them in different ways. I have FF running in the other FF, and Twitter on another monitor in Tweetdeck. - Ian May
A good thing to do is find the twitter people you like and just add em as imaginary friends. That is what I do. However I do agree it would be nice to add a auto import option or something with twitter. - Shawn aka ringking
Meaning - I post to FF - it crossposts to Twitter, fine. But If I @reply on Twitter, then it posts here at FF then goes back to Twitter? - Steve Isaacs
It wouldn't if you didn't import Twitter here, would it? - Jandy Stone
or if you go into your settings and un-tick twitter from your friendfeed-to-twitter settings - Joshua Nunn
Joshua - But I like posting from FF to Twitter, its great, means I can stay here more, but posting an @reply there AND having it post back here AND post back there again is spamming my followers. Not good. - Steve Isaacs
Go to your account settings and untick "comments that I make..." and they won't carry over...there are other things that can be turned off as well. https://friendfeed.com/account... - cmiper
cmiper - Nope, it was already unchecked. - Steve Isaacs
Are you posting from "all services" ro just the ones you select? I have "comments that I make" turned off, so maybe I'm not seeing what you are. - Joshua Nunn
I get myself tied up in knots at times! For example, I have twitter to ff turned off. Today I posted on Twitter, and a few minutes later it appeared on ff. How? Well, I forgot I set Twitter to post to Facebook, and Facebook posts to ff. Heck, it's real easy to descend into duplication hell... - Ian May
Just did an @steveisaacs in Twitter to this post to see if it loops. Here are my FF account settings: CHECKED: "Post my FriendFeed entries on Twitter as..." checked. And, UNCHECKED: Twitter in the "Post entries from The services I've selected below:" section. No loop from what I can see. - Kenley Neufeld
I think maybe I was misunderstanding. I got an unfollow from someone (http://twitter.com/whitneyd) and I thought she meant that she was getting double posts of my "@ replies". Now I think maybe she just doesn't dig the amount of FF posts headed over there from me, period. And that's HER problem :) - Steve Isaacs
But thanks Kenley - I appreciate it! - Steve Isaacs
“finally got frienfeed chat working, thanks to the awesome quick support desks at both friendfeed and Jumba. had me up in less than 24 hours. not bad for a weekend!”
Can we add more list on the IM,it seems too noisy to take the home list,and if I need make some specific chat list,it will takes a lot of work. - Steve
Was out most of the day and just discovered it ... left the room and came back to Tina 'aka' on my screen ... Can't wait to mess with this!!!! Hey Tina ... before I turn the computer off and go to see if my wife still lives here ... did you want something?? - Charlie Anzman
haven't checked it out yet...waiting on you guys to give feedback! :D - Susan Beebe
Me too,I didn't hear a lot of things about IM in this room yet. - Steve
Finally get the idea how to comment specific thread on FF IM - Steve
via IM
Right now I badly need a Google Talk app on my Nokia phone just for the FF IM. - Steve
via IM
I never get any notification. I tried with 2 gmail accounts and one jabber. never get the first notification chat-invite from ff :-( - Gaby Benkwitz ☼
@Gaby Benkwitz ☼ if you using gmail account with + sign when register friendfeed, ff automatically populate text field at IM notification. since gtalk don't recognize +sign so that you need delete + thing. after input simple gmail address could work. - huixing
I (like Gaby) am not getting the notification. I'm not using a + sign with my account. I've asked for the notification to be sent a few times. - Joshua Nunn
@Joshua I think if you have no problem to add your Gtalk or Google Reader account,there won't be any problem to get the notification.Do you check in that IM settings. - Steve
@Steve: I have my gtalk account added, although I'm not sure it works. I did have Google Reader once (and it worked) but removed it 'cause it clashed with another account I had. - Joshua Nunn
I like it, more useful than the Twitter push thing. I'll be creating a special friends list for IM notifications, should be very useful. Notifies on comments are OK but a bit too much. - Kol Tregaskes
