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
“So, I'm reading an article, and suddenly an ad spins in out of nowhere on top of it and asks me to take a survey. Needless to say, I immediately closed that tab.”
I hate it when that happens. I understand the need to pay for bandwidth, etc, but when it gets right in the way, it messes with my fragile mind. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
It's like someone closing your book for you while you're reading...or changing the channel once you get into a show on TV. I mean...WTF. If you don't want me to read your site, fine. You don't have to get rude about it. - ♫ Rahsheen™
If I can't read the actual content of a page with the NoScript firefox extension preventing the circus that is so many pages today...sorry, I usually move on. - Micah Wittman
If I have to use NoScript to enjoy your web page, I'm not going there... - ♫ Rahsheen™
wow! that's something... havent run for some time now. perhaps should restart. - Hayk
No time like the present, Hayk. Exercise is conducive to a long life, even for scholarly, philosophical fellows like your good self :D - Mo Kargas
Mo, thanks for the compliment. However I consider myself neither much scholarly nor philosophical! one reason that i have in mind why i didnt run for some time is the lack of scenery in Cairo. It's all desert and even Nile looks like a little swamp. Scenery and fresh air I think are important! - Hayk
... Lack of scenery in Egypt? Hahaha, here I am thinking I want to see the country in the next few years :D - Mo Kargas
:) well lack of green scenery, to be more precise! and air pollution levels are beyond imagination. There are days when the dust is so sick in the air that one thinks it is fog, but unfortunately it isn't... For tourism and short stay, there is much to see, though, Mo!! - Hayk
My dream is to actually meet Dr. Zahi Hawass. Doubt it will happen though - Mo Kargas
I had to google him :) seems like an interesting person to meet! at least you can visit the Egyptian Museum and see King Tut's gold which occupies the entire second floor of it !! - Hayk
Haha, I was under the impression that the man is a national hero of Egypt. I saw a documentary on him once, absolutely committed to retrieving Egypt's stolen history. His fervor and passion are inspirational. - Mo Kargas
That I did not hear of him is still not indicative of him not being a national hero! In what concerns stolen history of Egypt, I am guessing he has long battles and petitions to file with a museum in New York and another in London, not counting of course Louvre in Paris. Good luck to him :) - Hayk
wow Mo!! didnt know! thanks for info! though in my eyes any such sign of popular recognition is a rather negative mark! - Hayk
I understand. I'm amazed because it's just not awarded to non-media types. - Mo Kargas
that is what i thought as well.. interesting!! - Hayk
Mate, amazing! I didn't know you could even burn 2000 kcal/h?! it IS kcal, not cal, is it? You must have just burnt one kg of fat today. Get out the Peanut Butter to refill! - dekay
After emailing a letter to Senator Stephen Conroy outlining his objections to the Australian internet filter, Michael got an email back telling him not to contact them but his MP, which is really weak considering the amount of controversy surrounding this issue. - Matthew Brown
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
via IM
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
“Since I pipe my FriendFeed posts to Twitter now, it would be nice to have some kind of control character or something so that certain FF-specific posts (like this one) won't be sent over.”
And how about a control character that lets you port comments to Twitter or Jaiku? - Bernie Goldbach
@Bernie: that would be great. But FF doesn't handle Jaiku posts very well, so I've taken it out of my feeds here. I would love it if I could use FF as my one dashboard to monitor and post to all of my other SoNets, but it's not there yet. - Cheryl Jones
Okay, so this reminds me of the half-cocker-spaniel-half-gooney-bird that we had growing up. If anyone blew a raspberry within his hearing, he would whip around and look at his butt, like, "Did *I* do that? Dangit!" and then look all embarrassed. It was hilarious! (My backend looks fine. Must be yours, John.) - Ladybug Heather
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
Ancient Geographical Pwnage... well played Mr Gray :) - Johnny Worthington
Not a fan of Palin, but it's said that most Americans can't name most countries on a map. I'm not super surprised that she didn't know, but we should hope for better from what would have been one of our country's leaders :) - Patricia
Sweet baby Jesus. I hope she never attempts to run for anything outside of Alaska. - ♫ Rahsheen™
Word on the street is that she'll run for Ted Stevens's seat if he wins and gets thrown out by the ethics committee. - Vezquex இ
I am more surprised that its coming on Fox News.. Does that now make them "Elite" - Varun "Maverick" Pitale
She won't have to run, Vez; I believe in that instance she can appoint herself. - Anthony Citrano
oh come on, give the poor woman a break..maybe she didnt read the day's paper :D - manuscrypts
I am amazed at how Naive she is. It is a mistake to continue to think she should be the new face of the Republican party. She is a disgrace to American politics. - Suhit Anantula
Yeah Patricia that's long been my point - I don't hold expect an average human to have a phD in geopolitics (although a basic understanding of the world is nice.) But if you're running to be President of the United States - or next in line - I have much higher expectations. - Anthony Citrano
@Suhit - I wouldn't worry about that. The primary objective of these leaks is to ensure that that does not happen. - Anthony Citrano
She couldn't appoint herself. But she can resign, her Lt Governor would become Gov, and then he/she can appoint Palin. That is 100% what's going to happen and then 4 years from now you'll have a politician with Executive and Legislative experience. Palin may be dumb in a lot of ways - but she's shown a shrewd ability for political maneuvers.... - George Smith
George - maybe you're aware of some obscure Alaskan law that I'm not, but I know of no legal reason why she could not appoint herself should Stevens be expelled. - Anthony Citrano
This is just the beginning of the battle for the Republican party. She has too much baggage already to be president but die-hard Bush fans love the cute way she has of coming off dumber than the current Chief Executive. - Phil Boiarski
The best comment on this was from @charmcitygavin on Twitter this morning (http://twitter.com/charmcityga...): Just wait until Sarah Palin hears that Australia is a continent AND a country. That'll blow her effing mind!! - Anika Malone
“FF is about conversation. If you're going to use FF as a billboard or megaphone and not reciprocate when people are taking the time to respond to you, I'm unsubscribing.”
It's one thing I like about Robert Scoble and a few others, even with busy lives, and thousands of followers, they still find the time to comment and comment back. Well done. - Mo Kargas
*crickets* HA HA HA HA HA HA. OK, sorry. :| - Josh Haley
If you wish, Comrade! *salutes smartly* - Mo Kargas
Everyone now feels obligated to reply to this post to prove they're part of the community ;) - Cains
Rofl :D Cains haz discoverd mah evil plan! - Mo Kargas
Well, you're not subscribed to me so I'm not going to repl... doh! - Morton Fox
LOL @ obligation to contribute to the thread. And Mo - I didn't realize I wasn't subscribed to you! I'd been reading you so long as a friend-of-a-friend! Sorry! - Ladybug Heather
Ohh that's ok Heather lol, it just occured to me that I wasn't subscribed to you and Morton. I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for FF's little blue/grey comment icons - Mo Kargas
Wasn't that kind of megaphoned. ;-) I am hot and cold with FF. Sometimes I power participate, and when I don't, I forget that my stuff is feeding into it. :-/ - Jennifer Leggio
I am here quite a lot, and I think I participate quite a lot, but one can't always be here of course. I do try to respond when folks ask me something or respond to me, but I probably miss a few along the way. - Ian May
Mo, right on! This is a community not a soapbox. - Mark Wilson
Oh, oh! I was on the way to the gym so I couldn't reply to your last comment on my feed! I'm sorry! But I did go to the gym so does that get me a little bit of leeway? :D Hi, Mo!! - pea gives ♥ a bad name
You're soooo off the island Pea :D J/K <3 - Mo Kargas
In terms of my portion of the conversation, I prefer to listen :) - LPH™
Good one. I guess not many people realise it and it was good that you point it out. I can understand what Scoble comes from now. Conversation is everything! - Suhit Anantula
Seems awful shortsighted - some people are are good conversation starters, some are good commenters, some are both. Why exclude any of them? - Brian Sullivan
i get more responses to my comments than what i post, so ff works (or my feed sucks) - Joelle Nebbe
easy to miss things in the growing volume of comments, though - Joelle Nebbe
Agreed, just with FriendFeed made it easier to track all your conversations, kind of like a FF "inbox". - Mike Reynolds
I agree and try to respond when I have something valueable to say, but I am on the quiet side. Hubby hates that I don't talk as much as he does. Need to get him on here. - Denise
via twhirl
participation is important...but it's OK w/me when people promote their own stuff - same goes for twitter, greader, etc - it helps me not miss anything when it comes in via mult channels :) - Sarah Perez
@Brian I don't think most FFers are like this, I also understand if you're a new FFer your feed may look like a billboard. What I'm against is, for example, if your subscribers are constantly commenting on your feed, and you never, ever, reply back to them, never participate in the conversation. - Mo Kargas
@Sarah Perez Ohh for sure, but paticipation/conversation/reciprocation is what I believe to be the foundation of FF. If you're merely promoting yourself, there's no difference between you and a banner ad. - Mo Kargas

I must be missing something with twitter. Is it more appealing to the mobile tweet crowd because although I've tried to find something compelling about it, I always come back to friendfeed. I use my mobile phone to make and receive calls only. I know; boring. - Mattb4rd
What happens to ff comments - do they get posted on twitter too? How do you get around the 140 char limit? - Justin Long
@Justin it cuts off the message to fit within the 140 limit - Shey
via NoiseRiver
This is a good idea, but seeing as I only post my FF posts to Twitter, I'll just leave it unchecked - Shey
