Looks like the man is leading the child onto a train track - Joe Dawson (beta)
Um, is it going to work in a subway? - Glen Campbell
Maybe it needs the energy of a high-voltage subway track to work. I guess the man acts as electrical conductor. *shrug* - Jemm
Sounds like a great thing, technology really going at astounding paces. Hmm ... certainly something to ponder. - Ray Marr
Since my daughter splits time with her mom and me, I would love this! I could send her little notes all the time. - Clay Newton

I'd rather be forced to eat my own eyes that listen to a full Nickelback album. - Steve Isaacs

Can we please permanently hide all Nickelback mentions on FF, forever? There should be an option for that. I wish I could insert blips and censored screens in every audio and video clip where Nickelback is mentioned. If I never hear of them again, it'll be too soon. - Raoul Pop
I'd rather eat my own uterus than listen to Nickelback, myself. - Helen Sventitsky
Nickelback is responsible for self cannibalization? Not going to listen to NB - want my body parts intact :) - jlt
I'd rather go back in time and eat my own self as a fetus so I had never been born instead of listen to Nickelback. - Steve Isaacs

I don't know anyone who likes Nickelback. So who is it that is buying their crap and making them think they need to continue making music? - Katie

@ Cee Bee: Ahhh. Makes sense why I don't know anyone who likes them :o) - Katie
I'd rather listen to jackals raping each other than Nickelback. - Haggis (Sean)
@Cee Bee, and country music listeners who mistake Nickelback for rock music. - Helen Sventitsky
I'd rather cut my arm off with a rusty teaspoon than listen to Nickelback. - Chris Nixon
"Rock Star" got to #1 in the UK while I lived there. Why? I don't know. People thought it was "funny", perhaps. And on Radio 1 they bleeped out the words "drug dealer". After which they would go back to pretending to be hip & edgy. Fail. - Alexander Carlill

WTF Flying Fish - Evidence of Evolution/Mutation?
Play
6 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Captured on film off the coast of Japan, in what may be the longest recorded flight of the species. The footage was shot on a ferry off Yakushima Island. The flying fish was seen flying in parallel with the boat, which was moving at about 30km per hour. The fish was able to continue flying by occasionally beating the surface of the water with its tail fin when it began to lose altitude. According to Junji Yonezawa at the Center for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries on Outlying Islands, the flight time of 45 seconds beats the previous record of 42 seconds reported by an American researcher in the 1920s. There are some 40 species of "flying fish" in the family known as Exocoetidae. The animals are found worldwide in warmer waters. Their flight ability comes from a glide rather than a powered flapping." - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet

Did you piss somebody off? Did they even take anything? - ♫ Rahsheen™
Thankfully, nothing else seems to be missing. Although I'm a little surprised that they didn't take the poker set that my brother left in the bed. Still, bah. Bad morning all around. - Steven Perez
Rah: I piss everybody off. :D - Steven Perez
that's a bad thing to wake up to. sorry to hear - Cee Bee
No, it's looks like a straight smash and grab. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is dealing with the insurance company. Right now, they're telling me that they can't confirm my coverage. (WTF?!?) Which is funny, cuz they sure confirmed my last payment fast enough. - Steven Perez
damn man - sorry about that - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
That's freakin lame, dude. I hope your insurance company pulls their head out their ass and gets this taken care of. - ♫ Rahsheen™
sorry dude....I know the feeling....i hope the bastards that did it get their just deserts....NOT COOL! - Live4Soccer
Sigh ... I need a reset button on this week. - Steven Perez

The Art of Onfim

"One of the most fascinating archeological finds in Russia has been the discovery of hundreds of "birchbark documents" (messages written on the bark of birch trees with a sharp stylus) that were created from the 11th to the 15th century. The birchbark documents of Novgorod are a major source for information about life in Medieval Novgorod because they are not the writings of church theologians or political leaders, but rather, personal messages, IOUs, love letters, shopping lists, and so on. One of the most fascinating items, in my mind, is a collection of children's drawings that have been unearthed." - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet
The bark was widely available (although there are indications that excessive use of the medium caused a decline in the local birch population) and easily cultivated. Anyone could use it. When one was finished with the message, it was simply thrown into the mud, where the presence of water and clay created an unusually bacteria-free environment which preserved the documents. So, we have the ideal medium: cheap, easy to come by, and (thanks to unique geology) preserved for hundreds of years. The drawings from Novgorod that we have found appear to all come from a Russian boy named Onfim, who lived at the end of the twelfth century or beginning of the thirteenth century in the city of Novgorod. By the estimate of the archaeologists who unearthed his works, he was around seven years old at the time that he made these drawings. - Cee Bee
Cool beans! Now to figure out how to "print" my photos to birch bark and preserve them in clay, as an offsite backup solution. :-D - Ladybug Heather
That's the most interesting article I've seen in a long time. - Steve Craft
yeah, it's a great read. very fascinating stuff - Cee Bee

12-Year-Old’s a Food Critic, and the Chef Loves It
4 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Everyone’s a critic, and apparently it’s never too soon to start. That’s why David Fishman, an Upper West Sider who turned 12 last month, decided to take himself out for dinner one night last week. His parents had called him at home to say they were running late, suggesting that he grab some takeout at the usual hummus place. Hummus, again? David thought he could do better than that. He had recently passed by the newly opened Salumeria Rosi, a few blocks from his home, and had been intrigued by the reflective black back wall, the cuts of dried pork hanging from the ceiling, the little jars of cured olives and artichokes adorning the walls. If it was O.K. with his mom (and it turned out it was), he wanted to try that instead. David aspires to be a food critic — he has some vague notion that he could make a living writing for the Zagat guides — and the new Italian spot on Amsterdam Avenue near 73rd Street seemed worthy of investigation." - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet

“I invested a lot of time this year in FriendFeed and Twitter instead of my blog. Was that the right decision?”
21 minutes ago - Link
I think so. - Robert Scoble
Half of it was right. And I'm not posting this from Twitter. ;) - Chris White
Time will tell, but I think it was correct decision. - imran
It's made you one of my favorite bloggers, if that makes you feel any better about it. If you weren't heavy on the social exploration I probably wouldn't read. - Daniel J. Pritchett
what outcome were you going for? - zach
From my perspective, yes. It's a much more interactive and broader experience for all. - Kevin C. Tofel
The right decision from which perspective, Robert? Did you increase "eyeballs?" Revenue? Both? Other? - Mark VandenBerg
I like FriendFeed and Twitter, but don't see how they compare to developing thoughtful, deeper blog posts. Really, I think FF and Twitter have their place, and I love them as well, but that place is certainly not a replacement to blogging. - Michael Krigsman
I think yes. Most folks can read twitter 100% of the time -- blogs are scanned. You tend to link to good stuff from twitter and have good headlines. - Ted Simpson
No question about that. In the past, websites were static compared to blogs. Now blogs are static compared to microblogging services. - Berci Mesko
I think only you can be the judge of that. We're all beginning to look at blogs as sort of the core of our outreach, so I'm not sure investing time in microblogging elsewhere is an either/or question. You are you. Your blog and social media network are simply extensions. If you're happy with your business model and continuing to grow, what's the problem? :-) - Chris Baskind
Mark: Revenue? Didn't change much. Eyeballs? Well, I have almost 21,000 followers here that I didn't have at the beginning of the year. Zach: I just saw that FriendFeed was going to be one of the most interesting new services of the year. Seeing how it was on the screen at the Chinese BloggerCon I think I picked the right services. - Robert Scoble
I consider FF as blogging in many ways and more interesting than a blog. - imran
You certainly moved the ball forward for the two companies. And if you think they're a vital part of the "internet plumbing", you absolutely made the right decision in helping to secure their futures. - Christopher Galtenberg
I've shut down my blog for the time being. Not getting the interaction out of it, the way I'm getting out of experiences on FF and Twitter. I think if you want more conversation online, the blogs (for now) would not be the way to go. - Helen Sventitsky
are the 21K followers different from people who followed your blog already? if so that is in increase. if not then the eyeballs are moving from your blog to friend feed. - Jonathan Jesse
Just wondering. Thanks, Robert. - Mark VandenBerg
My twitter lives alongside my blog in the sidebar, and I keep track of all my tweets by feeding it into a lifestream stored on my server. i think that's the key, as the two platforms, microblogging and blogging, work nicely together. - C. K. Sample III
@Michael great thoughts on blogs allowing for deeper thought development. that greater development, might lead to more meaningful discussion on FF then what may occur in the comment section - Jonathan Jesse
Also, check out Twitemperature if you like Twitter. Tells you whether you're hot or cold based upon what you've tweeted and how it ties into online trends and community: http://twitemperature.com - C. K. Sample III
It's a good question -- I've been thinking (and writing a bit) about the question of a blogging / microblogging balance. My working theory: that going forward the most successful bloggers will be strong microbloggers, and vice versa. - Eric Berlin
Robert, then I have a wunderbar über wonderful idea for you! You know, you can trust me :) - directeur via NoiseRiver
YES YES YES YES YES YES! - Susan Beebe
There are plenty of people up at blog-level covering "the scene". You're on the ground with people as they're trying things, talking about what's missing, what they need, what they like and don't. I think this is a good place for a tech-head to be. But blog posts to send signals up and out to the other tech-heads, reviewing your time embedded with the troops, will still be vital for growth of the net. - Christopher Galtenberg
No =) The audience for the standard blog delivery system is different than a hyper-conversation micro-blogging system. While these services are great with interactivity, they do not generate useful long term content in most cases due to short posts (usually under 120 characters) and basically being a link farm rather than useful content. The initial "posts" are not as in-depth as a typical blog post, and the comments are often "me too" type of responses as well. Balance your tweets vs. your blog posts =) - RAD Moose
I found I moved too much of my activity to Twitter and FriendFeed - I have tried to return to more blog postings, since I do have a community of readers that is only there. - Richard Akerman
Hard to say. Who are you, again? :) - Matt Tuley
Yes, I've heard little about your blog posts, but I've heard plenty about you being very open & active on social sites. That kind of interaction with your audience is a refreshing change and I'm sure it helps your reach (though I'm sure that's not what you meant). - Cains
Honestly? You put you in front of me. I would not have gotten to the blog as often, as I've seen you here. Just too much to read. - Ed Shaz/NextInstinct
I personally miss the longer/thought out posts that used to appear on your blog. While I don't think that using FF/Twitter has been a bad thing, and I know that you don't have time for *everything*, your more "editorial" and reporting style of blogging is missed. - drew olanoff
Cross posting of comments between blogs and friendfeed would be an interesting development. - Andrew Leyden
Jonathan: I think I've gained a good percentage of new people who found me here on FriendFeed. That's why I have more followers here than, say, Michael Arrington does or Leo Laporte do (and they should have WAY more, because of the size of their audiences). - Robert Scoble
I ask myself the same question often regarding whether I should spend so much time on social media sites instead of just writing content on my blogs. What I don't think I realized is that I'm still creating valuable content at all of my outposts that are still ultimately leading to my blogging hub. I think its been well worth it. - Mark Krynsky
@Andrew WordPress has a nice plugin to link to FriendFeed activity. Unfortunately for my platform (TypePad) I don't know of an equivalent. - Richard Akerman
ppl will follow you anywhere on web i think, but this is the best place to folllow you. - imran
I find FriendFeed to be more engaging, but it would be nice to gauge the amount of traffic a post on FF gets. - Spencer
the #friendfeed, #twitter, #socialmedian instantaneous replies, directs, and comments distributed throughout feed aggregation access points establishes a better communication channel for your voice - shayne catrett
depends. did you sacrifice blog content & share it on FF/Twitter? - I stopped blogging about useless junk since I can simply throw that stuff up on FF or Twitter now. Less frequent are my blog posts, but more quality, at least I think - Enrique Gutierrez via twhirl
