Similar in concept to our product vibemetrix. http://vibemetrix.com glad to see a pay model, we need to break the shackles of this "everything must be free" mentality. If something provides value we should not be opposed to paying for it. :)

Louis, I'd like to look at this from an Investor Relations perspective rather than a PR one. I'm pretty much the only IR tech blogger, so please make sure I get an invite. :)
- Dominic Jones
@susan we are working to fix the flash issue. @mikepk - Amen brother.

Since WJ is strictly professional networking, I will be a friend whore and accept all comers. Bring it on cat ladies and school librarians.

Matt, I take cat ladies of all types and turn them into scintillating mavens of web 2.0 chicanery. And I introduce them to lint rollers.....

I only like the second one over... no, wait... I think I like the third and fourth. I wish FriendFeed would just let me like one. Or two. And then make the thumbnails expand as I hover over them. Stop being interesting, Thomas.

Thomas I love your portrait idea even more

I've been to a few Dead shows in my day, nowhere near Harry's pace though.

If there were an individual like selection. It would be nice if it would mark it as a favorite in my Flickr account. Why not go all out?
- Bryan Clark
usually what I do when I want to mark FF photos that I see as Flickr or Zooomr faves is just cmd-click on the thumbnails where they open in a new window and go fave them directly on the flickr page. It would be cool to fave directly from FF of course.
- Thomas Hawk
If Piclens worked better on FF, it would be very cool as well. I would like click "play" on, say, your published photos on flickr, and it should only show me *those*, not all the others. Once viewed, I would be able to ctrl click photos to fave them, after having viewed them large...
- Juan Pablo González
The biggest fix that Piclens needs to create in my opinion is to give users the ability to cmd-click or ctl-click images to load in separate tabs to interact with after a Piclens session.
- Thomas Hawk
I love piclens, I love how it crashes the first time I put it on a machine...infact the only thing I don't like it how it deals with FF imagery.

Lured by $1 beer and the prospect of "hot chicks" and "hardcore fights," thousands of Arkansans were duped last month into appearing as extras in comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's latest staged mayhem. Cohen and his confederates organized cage fighting programs on consecutive days in Texarkana and Fort Smith. Both cards ended with two male grapplers (one was identified as "Straight Dave" and wore camouflage) tearing each other's clothes off and, while in underwear, kissing down their opponent's chest. This man-on-man action triggered Fort Smith fans to throw chairs and beer at the ring, according to one cop present at the city's Convention Center.

The new film stars another of Cohen's creations, Bruno, a gay Austrian journalist who interviews subjects about fashion and entertainment. It is reportedly titled, "Brüno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt." The June 5 Texarkana promotion was adverstised as "Red, White, and Blood." The June 6 matches in Fort Smith were dubbed "Blue Collar Brawlin'"

Perhaps this is unkind, but since there's been so much 1938Media talk today, I'll just say it: Sacha drinks Loren's milkshake. THAT'S how you do politically charged comedy. He cuts left, right, and center, but usually hits the mark in a way that is both irrefutable, precise, and hilarious.
- Madsimian
The thought of Bruno drinking Loren's milkshake is causing me to LOL.
- Clay Newton
The guts Cohen has to stage these things - it's awe-inspiring
- Kevin Briody
Someday, Sasha is going to end up dead from one of these stunts.
- Justin Whitaker
@Justin, I like the word "stunts" because the first time I saw SBC, I thought My god, this guy is so brave--he does the sociological version of "Jackass," which, in my opinion, takes a lot more "balls" than stapling your scrotum to your leg. And I agree with the previous comments about his brilliance--he's amazing!
- Anna Haro
I think the guy is genius he really puts himself into these roles but I agree one day he is going to push it too far. Let me find a clip of Bruno on YouTube which is hilarious...
- Joe Dawson
Do you think that someone should tell him that there are lots of people in that part of the country who carry loaded guns?
- Paul Denlinger
The forum posts captured by TSG on pages 3 and 4 of their story are interesting. The Arkansans who went to the fight will come out looking like redneck homophobic brutes in the movie, while a lot of their 'anger' was provoked or staged according to the eyewitness accounts. Not to say that the posts aren't homophobic, so in the end Sasha is just holding up a funhouse mirror to the denizens of the flyover states: it exaggerates the picture, but reflects reality.

That happened to me about a month ago. I pledged to not FF during normal work hours. Only during lunch time during the week. Very hard addiction to kick though. All my other time is pretty much spent here inhaling meta from the firehose.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Late night is my downfall. I say to myself at 11PM, "You're tired. You have to get up at 5AM. Go to bed." At 1AM I'm still hitting the refresh button on FF.
- Kevin Shannon
@Steve Rubel - let me know how that goes for you. I need to break my addiction as well. There should be a warning when you sign up: "WARNING: May be habit forming"!
- JA Castillo
F5 = crack (saw this elsewhere and it is SO true!) LOL... disable your F5 key! (ok, don't do that, i wouldn't ask anyone to do something I wouldn't do myself)
- Susan Beebe
I've exercised three times in the past week, including an hour walk today. Didn't cure my addiction, though.
- Robert Scoble
I'm trying to start using FF more. Trade you.
- Chris
@brian "inhaling meta through the firehose" I love it what a great line - I hate needles but I'd probably mainline FriendFeed if I could
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Steve has LOTS of friends here...not sure what Paul's talkin' about? ;*)
- Susan Beebe
steve, i will come by with a stungun - every hour if you have loaded ff or twitter, i will zap you 1 time per load- so you gotta ask yourself, are you feeling lucky ?
- Allen Stern
Hey Allen, you could make good money on this new "feeling lucky" service you're offering to Steve!
- Susan Beebe
There is probably some greasemonkey script floating around that will disable login till a set date and time?
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Good luck with fighting your FriendFeed addiction, you need to blog how you are finding going cold turkey! Day two....
- Joe Dawson
@ Joe I aint going cold turkey. Just compartmentalizing it and using it more effectively. More to come.
- Steve Rubel
friendfeed is the all you can eat buffett , twitter is a drive through @McD's

Best of luck, Steve. I check Friendfeed once in the morning and once in the afternoon, but I really check it, going back through numerous pages. That works for me.
