For bookmarking definitely del.icio.us in combination with local deli, Friendfeed for sharing because it aggregates all of the other services. - Werner Trotter

Google Bookmarks because it syncs with Google Notebook and my Tumblelog for sharing links. - Svartling

I've been using diigo rather than delicious and like the service. The problem is sites like FriendFeed don't include it in my stream. Still looking for FriendFeed support. I may have to start using del.icio.us again just so it is included in my stream because I do bookmark a lot of links that I want to share with others. - Ellen Moore

Google Reader Shared and Notes, definitely. - Marianne

I also use del.icio.us. I wonder, of the people in this discussion, how many use del.icio.us to trade and share links, and how many just store them for personal use (count me as one of the latter). - Rick Wolff

Del.icio.us which is picked up by Twitterfeed and posted to Twitter which then is picked up by FriendFeed. - Robert Sanzalone

i guess it's considered old school, but delicious still works great for me...via feedalizr - David Jacobs

Depends on what I'm sharing/bookmarking. Generally del.icio.us, but I'll share it via Greader if that's where I read it first. If I find it really interesting, I'll share it on FF. I rarely share stuff on Twitter these days, though. - Cyvros/fyc

I'm really big into Diigo lately. Has been really helpful in collaborating in maintaining a website. My client puts notes all over his site saying what he wants changed. I change it and not it in the note. - Bill Bittner

I'm addicted to del.icio.us: I post everything to it... well, almost everything! - Yaser Sulaiman

i love delicious. i use it for bookmarking / sharing pages i come across. I use Google Reader to bookmark / share feeds. It annoys me that I'm building up two separate repositories, is there a way to sync the two (a delicious brand feed reader spin-off would be ace!). I'm using a greasemonkey script in GReader but it's a poor substitute. Can anyone IM with a solution? - stuart brown

Each has it's merits. I'm more inclined to G Reader notes because of the convenience since I'm on Google's web services most of the time. FF will aggregates all other services. - Jonathan Kong

I use del.icio.us to bookmark. But I also use GReader, FF, Twitter, ReadBag....Ahhhhh when does it end? - KACCKCM

KACCKCM, How do you use Twitter to bookmark? - Rick Wolff

I used to use del.icio.us but now that you can link anywhere from in gReader, I'll almost always share w/note. I do still refer to my del.icio.us network though - I guess I'd better start contributing again. ;) - Marianne

They are very different and all serve different purposes. I don't see how I can compare them. But If I had to choose 1 that I had to have over the others, it would be GReader. - Steaprok

GReader is #1 for me by a wide margin. - Kevin D. White

Yes, I shut mine down Mike to try and reduce the strain on the resources of this tired, old, but still faithful, computer. And yes I agree, a poll option would be neat. - Sharon Bray-McPherson

Yes, most of the time. Try to conserve electricity where I can. - Heather Nasca Dulin via twhirl

Yes, my generation has f****d this planet up enough already. Save juice! - AJCann

Btw, did u know that by turning off your pc when it is not in use that you can shave approximately $7 per month off your electricity bill? May not sound like a lot to some people, but I can sure use that extra $7 - to put gas in my car! - Sharon Bray-McPherson

not me - Thomas Ho via fftogo

I only shut it down on the weekends... I really should do it more but I always am half finished different things at the end of the day that I don't want to close - Natitude

yes, i don't want to fry my MacBook Pro. It cost too much! - Ethan Klapper

Yes, I shut down to save $$$. Plus, XP just isn't stable enough to keep running. - Mike Reynolds

Nope. I can't survive if I have downtime. - Tamar Weinberg

Yes. Saves some cost and for safety sake....via feedalizr - Jonathan Kong

Haven't shut down my MBP in ages. - Carlos Granier-Phelps via twhirl

I don't shut down my work PC. I do shut down my iMac @home. - Rubin Sfadj

yep, i turn everything off - fully off, even the monitors. but i'm also the sort of person who makes sure all the lights are off too when they're not needed! - stuart brown

Not me, but Im thinking of doing it for a full month just to see is theres any difference in the bill. - Gadiel Rivera

I hibernate it! - Igor The Troll

I put mine into sleep mode (well, the computer does it itself), but I turn off the lights on my keyboard (Logitech G15) and turn off my monitor. - Timothy Neilen

I put my macs to sleep and leave the dell running. I've read that I should now turn them off, but am still in the habit from years back when the IT staff was always telling us to leave them on. Also of course some processes are run at night, so it's handy for that. - Heidi Cool

shut down dosn't exist for me. 24/7 is the only path - Dobromir Hadzhiev via twhirl

My work computer goes to sleep M-T but its shut down on Friday. My home pc stays on almost 24/7 except for restarts, etc. - KACCKCM

shut down my office computer every day and my home computer most days when not using - jaybol

office one: yes. Home: no. - Wil

I also leave my Laptop running all the time, at work I always turn my machines off! - Joe Dawson

No...24/7 unless the power goes out. And yes, polls are needed on FF. - Shane Floyd

Why do we need polls? We are not majority but minority! If we agree with an issue we say it, we disagree we say it! Let's build a consensus not vote! - Igor The Troll

+1 to poll feature! Actually better yet, extend FF so that an external poll widget can be plugged into it. Hmm.. that'd make FF pretty bloated and kill usability. - Wil

Every network that I participated and observed that has polls I found the network distorted! Power users control it, and mob rules! You do not like Digg because the real issues get buried while the popular stuff gets a Digg! So why do you want polls here? Or we talking about different thing? I would not want someone voting on comment, if it is good or bad. - Igor The Troll

@Igor The Troll - I am not sure if MikeonTV is referring to voting on post or comments. What I think would be neat is if you could turn your post into a tallied poll. I may be wrong, but I think this is what MikeonTV is talking about also. - Shane Floyd

I prefer we talk about issues not vote on them! Voting does not really work as you have seen from American democracy! Is America truly democratic? - Igor The Troll

Yes I agree with you, talking about issues is what it is all about. I just believe, for a simple yes or no post such as this, a poll would work. - Shane Floyd

Is it simple? By talking about it, we educate ourselves about the benefits and the disadvantages of polling. - Igor The Troll

i concur with Glenn - Travis Cooper

yep, "wizzy-wig" - Brett Kelly

Am I the only person that says "why-see-wig"? - possible248

I agree with @corvida and I disagree with @scobleizer. ooops, i should be leaving this on SheGeeks! :) - Elliott Ng

Elliott: yeah, but if you did that, I wouldn't see your disagreement. :-) - Robert Scoble

Robert: Good point. :) - David Risley

Colin, you're wrong. Heh heh heh. - Akiva Moskovitz

Gary, you can turn off updates from friends of friends. If you see it, click on "Hide", "More hide options" and you can find the option there, as "Hide ALL stuff from friends-of-friends". - Louis Gray

Yes, please. I can't refresh a page without seeing Obama, Techmeme or Facebook (and I'm a culprit with the last one). :\ - Cyvros/fyc

I just want the ability to create subsets of friends without doing it in an RSS reader. - Ryan Brenizer

I'm big on filtering too. FF doesn't have as much noise as GReader, but filters would be nice. - Mike Reynolds

Holy cow, yes. I would *love* to be able to filter out all the political posts... - Matthew Freeman via Alert Thingy

Actually, Friendfeed should highlight all entries containing 'ubuntu' imho. ;) - roel

haha hide ubuntu ;) - Tyler Gillies

It would be nice to work the other way and bump up stories containing a keyword of your choice. Kind of like track, Would be useful to follow discussion on your company - Jamie

Sounds like a perfect job for a Greasemonkey script. - TranceMist

@TranceMist: As I read that, a voice in my head was reading it out in the style of that guy who says, "This sounds like a job for <insert predictable hero name here>!" - Cyvros/fyc

Couldn't agree more! - Matt

If you hide a conversation, do all of the FF apps hide it too? Also, is it possible to hide a conversation from w/in Alert Thingy or Twhirl? - Bob

There is an urgent need to PRIORITIZE (recommend) new/unread Friendfeed items by personal relevance/importance. Is anyone working on this? In its current incarnation, Friendfeed is an unwieldy mess and time waster compared to Google Reader. - Sean McBride

I think some of this was the idea behind "rooms" where someone could, say, create an "obama" room and everyone (how do they find out?) would join up and then only post obama stuff to that room and not in the general feed. Then it'd be up to you to join that room or not. Then it also filters accordingly, too. - lilbyrdie

but don't things that you post in a room still show up to everyone following you? - Thomas Hawk

Thomas, only if your followers also belong to that room. - Mark Trapp

ahhhhh, ok, that's what I wasn't getting. That makes more sense now. Thanks Mark. - Thomas Hawk

Or just use a client to apply the filters. Anyone know of one? - Roberto Bonini

What Gary H said. The ability to turn off originating posts from friends of friends. - Bryan Nystrom

Step By Step Directions...1) Click 'Hide' on a Friend of a Friend entry. 2) Click 'See options for hiding other items like this'. 3) Select the option you want and select 'Hide Entries'. - Charlie Owen

Ha Ubuntu....Wait! - Anthony Farrior

sounds like a job for the greasemonkey filter script...via feedalizr - Ben Reierson

Personally I like the friend of a friend feature - gives more variety. Just so long as you have a limited number of friends and/or subscribe to Scoble and his 10000 friends. - Roberto Bonini

If my Flickr contact isn't on FF do I still have to add them as imaginary? - Russellreno

Russell, yeah, if they're not on FriendFeed you have to add them as imaginary. But you can always try to get them to sign up for FriendFeed too. I'm not having much luck getting my Flickr contacts over here though so I've set up lots of imaginary accounts. - Thomas Hawk

Yeah, my Atlanta Flickr contacts slowly migrated to Facebook, but I don't see another migration here for awhile. - Russellreno

BTW, my all time Flickr highlight occurred two days ago when you and Marc Turnley favored one of my photos within minutes of each other. I know, get a life. - Russellreno
