"To be clear we'd agreed to an embargo and I'd written a story timed to publish at the agreed time. At 11:30 p.m. last night, after I'd logged off for the day, they requested we delay publishing indefinitely. I didn't see the e-mail until after the story was already live. If a company wants me to re-time an embargoed story, this is not an effective method."

Scheduled Screenshots: Does anyone know of or use a service that automatically takes a screenshot of a specific URL on a set schedule and saves it in the cloud? I'm looking for something to do this and then automatically email the screenshot from the service into my Evernote account. Ideas?
if you use Firefox, get iMacros and you can set whatever you like up: screenshots, emailing, etc
- Vin Turk
Which OS? You can take screenshots (and create evernote notes) with applescript
- Brett Kelly
Brett: Thanks for the suggestion (I'm on a Mac). That would work if my computer was powered up and was online but if I wanted a screenshot taken of site XYZ everyday at 1PM for example, there could be times when my computer wasn't on. Ideally it would be a third party web app that would take the screenshots and automatically email them to me or allow me to download later.

Paul - did you fix the word wrap issue for comments? e.g. on my blog comments cascade across the column into the right margin - http://blog.infinitelymeta.com/reef-ta... not a big deal at all. just wondering. great work on the beta btw.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
you know what Paul - ignore what I said....apart from letting people sign up directly via the widget. Then my friends/family who aren't on friendfeed can comment directly plus you get a whole bunch of new 'non-techy' members.
- Zee.
What Mona said. I suggested to WP that they add FriendFeed to the "trusted javascript list"; they responded promptly saying that they would add it to their "candidate library".
- Neil Saunders
I tried a couple of times to get it to work, but even with setting the width, the comments still sprawled outside the border of the widget and looked ugly.

Still using the original script on the front page, but did add 'Share on FriendFeed' to the Blogger post template today. Awesome.
- MLx
I created my own widget using feedburner's RSS setup and some CSS code, so as I can get my entire lifestream, as set up on FF, to show up. Since I'm a crappy web designer, I may end up using the FF widget, after all... :/ Can we also use Yahoo Pipes on the Widget? I'm thinking of using Rasheen's duplicate removal setup, once he gets it to work...
- Helen Sventitsky
i haven't because i'm trying to figure out where to put it on my blog.
- Morgan
Not sure Paul. I'm using Chris Pirillo's Social Media theme. Not a WP guru myself. Willing to test though.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
FYI: Adding the widgets (other than the "Share on FriendFeed" link) to self-hosted WordPress requires zero knowledge of WordPress templates. You login to WordPress, click on "Design", then "Widgets", and add a "text" widget and paste in the code.
- Benjamin Golub
No because my blog sidebar is too narrow and changing the widget width cuts the text off mid-line. May redesign my blog one day when I'm bored.
- Deborah Fitchett
I did, before Godaddy lost the location of my blog they host and I can't get it back :(
- Johnny Worthington
I had it on my old site design, just added it to my latest. Thanks for the reminder.
- Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
I just did the other day when someone posted the link here on FF. It rocks, thx.
- Victoria Plautia
Used it as an experiment in the 'blog that posted itself' recently. Great. Now I'd like to use it in sidebar as widget. Can't change text size tho'. Too big.
- Kate Foy
Ditto Loic - but switched to the newer wider one. Would love to be able to do like 7 or 8 in instead of 5 OR 10. Try to keep the stream clean there for others. Think 7 would be perfect but one size doesn't fit all :)
- Charlie Anzman
you can do different numbers, just change the num= variable. I use num=12

I don't feel like my friendfeed content meshes very well with my blog. I enjoy friendfeed quite a bit, but I don't really feel the need to try to get more people to look at my friendfeed. I did try it a couple months ago before it was really public, when I noticed it on your blog, Paul. I do use the friendfeed comment plugin. Maybe I will add a share on friendfeed button.
- Robert Felty
I did install it but I don't really like its size. I'd like something narrower and with a smaller font. I don't know if this is something I can fix with CSS magic, but that's not my thing.
- Robert Konigsberg
From my point of view: How exactly would it help the readers of Blogoscoped? What's the problem it would solve? Not everything I say on Friendfeed is relevant to the content of Blogoscoped. Now, give me a widget that I can customize to make it be relevant just to a single specific blog post and I will give it a try perhaps... an RSS feed for "comments on URL xyz" (where I can make xyz be a Blogoscoped permalink of a new post) would be interesting :)
- Philipp Lenssen
+1 to Philipp. The only widget I have on my blog is delicious tags, and I'm not even sure that's useful to my readers.
- Amit Patel
Word wrap issue for comments. Will that be fixed?
- Dennis Metzcher
thanks @Benjamin Golub for the removing of the border code. worked great.
- Thom Allen
I would use it if only for one thing: the word wrap issue with comments.
- Ryan Stanley
Just added it to www.woodysworld.tv under What's the Word. Carries my Twitter, Flickr, Youtube and Pandora. Customized CSS. I'll be changing title to "My Friend Feed"
- Jim W
When will the fact that the comments do not wrap when using the widget on my site be corrected? Please update us. :)
- Dennis Metzcher
Dennis: that is by design so that long comments don't cause the widget to be super long in narrow places. You can make comments wrap with this CSS: .friendfeed.widget .feed .entry .comment { white-space: normal !important; }
- Benjamin Golub
Yes, but I just moved it to the sidebar (it was on the bottom, because the comments weren't wrapping). I am not fond of the background color, and I don't know what to do with the CSS. http://miniaturemage.blogspot.com
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
when i use the css to wrap comments, at the beginning of each line of the comment there displays a different 'comment' symbol. very weird.
- Patrick Yaeger
I've just learnt of this today and already adapted it to my Google Blogger, but I find I can't embed it on wordpress.com blog. Pity. It's something that would greatly add to blogs.
- George Hall (Australia)
Hi George: you should be able to embed the image versions of our widgets on your wordpress.com blog. Just pick "Image" as the format.

Building43 is going to go even further than a simple embed. More later.

I've added Friendfeed widgets to the About pages of coverbrowser.com and sketchory.com ... it's displaying feedback in regards to the site.
- Philipp Lenssen
"Why not?" Good Question. No blog is The Answer.
- ianf ⌘
I would like my Friendfeed page to sit in place of my blog on my website, but none of the widget styles are close enough for that (and iframing my Friendfeed page is a little much).
- Glen Murphy
This is back? I have my FF profile on the blog. An embedded widget would likely take up too much space.
- Louis Gray
I wanted but simplicity matters, so took it back.
- Burcu Dogan
Not sure. But I have helped others embed (example http://bebepool.com/arthur ) their own feed into one of my online services (http://bebepool.com - which, over the past 3 months, had 4% of new pool accounts try to use the ff embed feature. The success rate of signing up for ff then plugging in the new user account into their bebepool settings and also not marking their account Private...

these cookies are like crack. I do not allow them in my house -- I will eat an entire pound bag without stop. But perhaps I will buy a bag this weekend to celebrate that they are still around!
- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
Oh man, they are definitely like crack. I also do not allow them in my house.
- Robert Miller
I agree that these cookies are like crack. They are the shiznit for sure. They are the only cookie I don't like with milk because the cold milk makes the frosting all weird and hard and waxy like. With coffee, OMFG they are damn good. And I like the oil spill they leave in my coffee cup when I dunk 'em.
- Morgan Haley
YEAH!! that is some worthy palm kernel cottonseed oil there baby!!! woo hoo!!
- Susan Beebe
You know what it is? It's the salt. The salt on the cookie, under the frosting, somehow makes it irresistible. Too damn yummy.
- Ciaoenrico
I havent had them in years. I need to get some the next time I am at the store. Its been probably close to 15 years since I had some.
- pcnerd37
I'm not a big cookie person, BUT I know people used to love these things. Thanks Kellogs!
- Adriana
Ciaoenrico- it IS the salt! That's the key to the yumminess! You figured it out! Hooray. I finally know why I'm fatter than I should be! And I don't care enough to not go buy a bag of these on the way home tonight!!!
- Morgan Haley
Good. I was afraid they were going to disappear. Our family used to love the mixed bag.

I just noticed this. Kellogg = Northwestern's b-school and Kellog = cereal...? Hm, I need to Google. BRB. *edit: they are both Kellogg. Jeez. Confusing.
- Mona Nomura
They've been on the shelf here for a bit (like 2 weeks-ish) and we've bought them every chance we get so far. I know it's my imagination, but I can't help but feel that they taste a little different. :) I'm broken.

I get the same thing over in my new department. Which cracks me up because my old department...people would just randomly leave food on the counter with a "free to good home" note and it would get snatched up within the hour. Obviously my new department is suffering from stick-in-ass-itis.

I probably should, but I only use it when I'm driving and (by law) need to use a headset. I also feel like anything that will suck more battery life off during the day should be off if it's something that I can control. I just wish Apple would get hip to what a pain it is to turn that off compared to Wi-Fi. Jobs is well known for being quite particular about making things only 2 or 3 menu items deep to get at.

Jack, lol. Abby/Jared/Ken, right. Nice pinpointing, Ken! I'm watching this for the third time. This is going to be the time it totally blows me away. Good guesses, Joe/Lindsey. I was thinking this shot looked very Stargate to me, but apparently not enough to stump everyone.

- Carlton Hackett
Carlton: If you can find the "Director's Cut", without Harrison Ford's voice over, that's the way to go on a first viewing, IMHO. But don't start watching it if there's any danger of you dozing off... :-)
- Ken Sheppardson
I'm watching the Final Cut one now. I'm pretty sure my previous viewings were the original cut and the director's cut. But I'm not sure. I had total choice paralysis when a friend lent me his collector's set and I had to figure out which version to watch.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Blu-ray Final Cut FTW. Very crispy. The briefcase was the only Blu-ray I bothered to own for over a year.
- LogEx
Abby: I just knew the scene, then found the YouTube video to find the shot. I didn't just pull it out from memory. I'm not *that* big a geek. :-)
- Ken Sheppardson
Blu-ray final cut is absolutely beautiful. Wonderful movie.
