Friendfeed needs to time-stamp the comments.

Yeah, that is something that I have been thinking about.
- Kevin Bondelli
Less thinking more action ;)
- Alberto Reyes
A tooltip maybe on hover over the quote graphic. Keep it clean
- Andrew Smith
Optional feature - timestamp - not default.
- Susan Beebe
great idea!
- Sarah Perez
it must be part of the API, since fftogo seems to include a time stamp on the comments
- Trent Olson
I'm sure they do store the timestamp, even if it isn't currently displayed.
- Mack D. Male
Yeah, it's in the api, all comments & likes are timestamped
- Glenn Slaven
I think this is a perfect plan. The only issue I might have is that the time information might take-over the conversations. It might just look more cluttered than FF already is.
- Ryne Nelson
It would be useful sometimes.
- Morton Fox
concur, very useful to have. Make it a display option. Those who would think it's clutter can turn it off then.
- Alexander Falk
It is in the API (I use them in fftogo). I vote that the timestamp should appear as text when you hover over the "thought bubble" to the left.
- Benjamin Golub
All comments are time-stamped in AlrertThingy and feedalizr
- Stephen B

Comments are time stamped in bTT as well.

- Peter Dawson
What about a comment alert?! How do you follow conversations on ff!?
- TommaSorchiotti
Not sure if this will add to the functionality, but should be something they can try out...
- Dennis Goedegebuure
Not sure a comment alert is necessary. Comments bring the post up to the top of the timeline, which makes it available for anyone who is currently paying attention to Friendfeed. (Not sure why anyone would want their attention brought to Friendfeed if it isn't already there, that would be a huge productivity drain).
- Jason Wehmhoener
Please, please remember that the whole world doesn't run on PDT. I don't want to see timestamps in my FF in gReader and have to always try to guess whether the west coast is 17, 16, or 15 hours behind. If you must display timestamps, please put them in GMT. Setting the timestamps on my FF page/in my FF feed to be correct in my local timezone would be even nicer.
- James Polley
yeah ! and a hide fonction for each comment
- Jonathan
منم به فارسی تایید می کنم
- Kamal
we know which came first... but in n argument the comments can edit. that makes time stamping very important so we know when someone made a change
- Noah David Simon
a timeline function in general would be nice, make everything more timeframe friendly
- Ruben Llibre
Show times either in GMT or in my own timezone, and just make it a tooltip for the quote balloon or something. Don't want it to look cluttered.
- Pat Hawks
just make the time relative from each comment, so I know who said what when in perspective. like 5 minutes later Noah David Simon said. <--this opens up
- Noah David Simon
like i said earlier about plurk :)
- kosmar
Is i really important to know when every single comment is made? Only the last one would really be useful, could have 'last comment on june 1 at..." right beside the date of the post.
- John Duff
If the timestamp is a tooltip, then it isn't really "in the way." Maybe we can have all the timestamps as tooltips, except the most recent comment will have the timestamp printed out below it, like John said.

Hitler identified with the Germanic people, Stalin identified with the Russian people. to me all such definitions are kind of stupid, what with us being 5% removed from the chimpanzee. but such people have always tried to establish boundaries and a monolithic identity within such boundaries. a picture/event like this puts a lie to such separations. i wish people, like Hitler, could see how far the future is from the "truth" they saw
- Ranjit Mathoda
graham, i don't think people have come that far in terms of racial/ethnic equality if they are still defining separate races/ethnic groups. i do think we are happy being mostly nicer to people of "other" groups, but that's not quite the same. check out an online dating site and see how many people prefer to date people of a particular group.

I think this is also why it's not an either/or proposition between Twitter and FriendFeed. Twitter imo will have broader appeal as a simple way to send one to many messages. FF appeals (perhaps with deeper engagement levels) to those who want to easily carry the conversation/discussion further.

- Dobromir Hadzhiev
I'm going to side with Brian here. What is right: Comet McNaught was that bright in WA (I use to live there), but I checked my attempted pics, they predate this by over a week. I'm sure the comet was only that bright for less than a week. Second, the main Australia Day fireworks occur in Perth City...which isn't near a beach . Maybe it's Leighton Beach with Fremantle to the left...but it doesn't seem right. I did check the weather records though, there was a storm that night, and it's in the right direction

I do hope it is real though...and I forgot how wonderful the environment there is

Duncan, last year both Fremantle and I believe Hillarys held their own fireworks for Australia Day. I myself was trying to guess the location this morning. Being a regular on Leighton beach though it doesn't look familiar so I was thinking it may have been taken to the north of Hillarys. It also made me very nostalgic for Perth :)

@Ivan - You are correct, but is the speed of the process in this case the real story for those, like you, that understand this can be done in any widespread medium? That's what I was impressed with. I also like that the first comment was from someone saying they wanted to do that in another city. That person is kind of missing the point like you said. Yes, organize a blood drive, regardless of medium.
- Sean
This is a good application of Twitter, but I agree with Ivan that it's mainly an effect of the number of people involved. Look at all the things that people on the Digg communities have accomplished when they were pissed off. Get a moving message out to enough people and they will organize. I will be glad when data portability and connection frameworks like Gnip get established enough that we all have instant huge potential audiences to help persuade to our causes. We could do amazing things.

Seriously, I guess the struggle in my brain is because the category of "blogger" seems to be fading away. I look at myself as not a blogger or a writer, but as a communicator. I communicate via the things I write, the things that I share with comment, the things that I share without comment, and possibly even my FriendFeed "likes." And that's only my online stuff.
- Ontario Emperor
I just let Chris Bonney know about this conversation. http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Ontario Emperor
Oddly, this article says that a blogger's vision is too limited, and a writer gets paid, but a 'blogger with vision' (i.e. a blogger that also is a marketer etc) is.. a writer? The article goes out on a confusing note. Personally, I think I *want * to be a writer, but I am taking on the smaller challenge of blogging sucessfully to boost my ego to the point of being self-deluded enough to want to write more.
- Phil G
This seems ludicrous. Can you imagine someone saying "Are you a novelist or a writer? You can't be both."? Blogging is one type of writing activity. A much better question is "Does saying you are a blogger describe your medium of writing or your genre?.
- David Tallan
@Jason: Shalespeare was a playwright and wrote for the stage, even if we can reprint his words in books, newspapers, text files and read them on CDs. A blog entry can similarly be reprinted in books, newspapers, etc., even if they were written for the blog.

@Robert. Some of my favourite writers wrote short stories not novels. I don't think it prevents them from qualifying as "writers".

OE-we use tools to do things. In this case to communicate via test. We shouldn't be defined or limited by the tools. The Net is such a democratizer. Bloggers and podcasters and vloggers used to be like some kind of mystical techno-priesthood since there were special tools and operation of them was difficult. No with Seesmic,Utterz,Twitter,Tumbler anyone can express themselves and become a digital publisher. The bottom line is-how does one use those tools. Do they have something to say? Maybe they don't care

So, you wash your hands under the spigot (which is annoyingly set back), and then a trail of dirty soapy suds slowly winds its way down the spiral, so you have to run a gallon of water when you're done just to wash it all away...? And if you, say, spit into the sink after brushing your teeth, you'll probably splash places the spiral-trail of water never actually reaches at all, and then you'll have to take a washcloth and clean your sink basin.

this is art, not function.
- Russellreno
If it's art, why pretend it's a sink? Why not just make it a pretty fountain somewhere, and not bother with things like a faucet handle? (Similarly, I never understood why so much ornamental pottery is trying to be a bowl or a cup or a vase. Nobody's ever going to eat out of it or put flowers into it, why limit yourself with the false pretense of functionality?)
- ⓞnor
If you're going to have a sink in a guest-accessible bathroom, it might as well be something that looks nice. Yes, it's not terribly practical, but so what. Yes it's going to need some extra attention when cleaning, but so what. Someone who has an awesome sink like that is likely to have a housekeeper. @ⓞnor: It's not that it's EITHER a sink OR it's art. It's BOTH.
- Cyrus Lendvay
In my view there's a balance between form and function. People are often willing to compromise on functionality in exchange for aesthetic enjoyment. This is true everywhere. 'Getting it done' and 'Feeling good about it' are always goals and in some objects those goals compete. I wouldn't want every sink to have such a focus on aesthetics, but if it was a sink in an environment where the aesthetic experience was more important then it may be a valid tradeoff.

- Cyrus Lendvay

- Russellreno
Chris, your concrete sinks seem pretty and functional. I like the way embedded leaves look on pottery, but on a sink it would be hard to burn them out and they probably don't match the theme you are going for. Mirrors are always handy in a bathroom, but easy to make a space go from classy to tacky.

All the de young folks did was make the walls white. The pieces were stored in cardboard boxes that filled two semis. When one piece broke, they pulled out another. I can't begin to imagine the man hours behind this exhibit!

I want to be able to link to comments, comment on comments, like comments, bookmark comments, email comments, etc. Comments are sometimes more valuable than the items that inspire them. Comments are standalone documents. There should be a dedicated central search engine to index all comments across all sites on the Internet.

Any blog that isn't 100% original content is a comment to something that is 100% original. Somehow comments need to become as decentralised as blogs. Perhaps a Disqus-type system will take off... I hope so!

Great point! I suggest to folks that if one of their comments on a blog post is getting to be more than two paragraphs, build on that comment (or simply copy&paste) into a blog post of your own. It extends the conversation outwards.

My wife added a political comment: "they don't allow women into soccer games in Iran" which is why she never got into the Iranian teams. She says she does watch soccer, though.

Oh, and on that day it was raining heavily and had a 20 mph wind in my face. Damn I was in good shape back then. Of course back then we didn't have cool stuff on computers to distract us from running for hours a day. Sigh.

Mmm, I agree that social networking online enables offline socializing - I think I'm online more, personally, because most of my friends are off at college and online is really the only way to talk to them, particularly given timezone differences. I was never a terribly social person, anyway, though...

Not really.. I think that social online life is an enhancer to offline social life.. at least I get to know a lot more about the group and people ..its like a meeting a good friend for the 1st time.. w./out social apps.. that experience is not forthcoming !!

"Regular" People read web pages... a complete abstraction of what web content is and (maybe) should be. Their perception of the content is not altered by the fact that they're reading a "blog". Now, i'm not talking about teens for whom a blog has a different meaning than the one we use.

@Charlie - and you're a regular guy, right?
- Hutch Carpenter
Don't agree with the classification - what is regular? There are no 'regular' people demographically unless we get to talking in terms of internet usage statistics - there are those who spend their lives on the it day in and day out and those who simply use it when they have a need to. While the former would, sheerly out of necessity be organised and methodical about it; the latter would have a 'need' driven usage - which does not entail reading a blog.
