Can you remind me again where to find those stats? - Brian Johns

Brian, go to "Me" link (http://friendfeed.com/brianjo...) which defaults to the Feed tab. Look at the sidebar on the right, below Discussion. - Micah Wittman

0.75 (926/1226) - still relatively new here - mikepk

I only see my stats for the last week (17/14 = 1.21) Please tell me your 670 number is for more than just a week! - Brian Johns

1.44 (566/391) for brianjohns (after week tally you should see a comma then 'all time' count - I can see it on your page) - Micah Wittman

OK, sorry. I'm a total dumbass. I stopped reading after the weekly totals... - Brian Johns

3.74, which seems way off of everybody else's. I wonder what that says. I comment a lot more than I like. - Cyrus Lendvay

FFers use FF with their own strategy or simply default tendencies. The ratio is an interesting snapshot of behaviour. Thanks for joining in everyone, hope more keep flowing in. - Micah Wittman from twhirl

Looks like my ratio as flipped again (comments back to dominating again). Seems to match my own awareness I've lately been commenting without Liking (commenting is my inherent recognition of value to me and the additional Like is when it merits an extra bump to help discovery by others). - Micah Wittman

Darn - 0.52. I guess I need to say why I like something a little more often :-) Liking this thread because I was wondering the same thing recently. Has anybody worked out the average from the numbers here? </islazy> - Andy Bold

Andy, scroll upward and you'll see a couple calculations from before (January: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81) - Micah Wittman

0.89 (17818/19913) (Somebody better make a cool ass graph of all this data!) - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments).. - Chris Myles

1.78 (8529/4782) - Micah Wittman

Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever. - Micah Wittman

0.9009 (6055/6721) - Jason Huebel

OK, so statistically, what ratio results in better interaction on FF? - Jason Huebel

I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience. - Micah Wittman

So I'm fairly balanced, it appears. I would imagine it's because I try to comment on every post I like. That's not always true, obviously. But mostly it is. - Jason Huebel

Just clicking "Like" seems too easy. I feel like I should say something, too. - Jason Huebel

383/372 - ashish

'Just clicking "Like" seems too easy' — Jason, that's because you're from the Chatty-ite tribe :) - Micah Wittman

Thanks, ashish. - Micah Wittman

wow, what a difference time makes, when i 1st posted on this thread, 6.43%, now = 1.25%, for a 5.18% difference, :o (and this is the earliest post to date i've recovered of my activity on ff) - chaz2b

chaz, I think there's been a big fluctuation for most people (maybe not that much). This is the oldest post on which you commented that you've recovered? - Micah Wittman

Thanks, Bren. - Micah Wittman

Thank you, Alex :) - Micah Wittman

that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while... - Bren, Photophobe

Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically. - Micah Wittman

true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better. - Bren, Photophobe

Because the school pantry program doesn't have lobbyists or pay money to political campaigns. Plain and simple. Sad.... but simple - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

Johnny: yep, exactly. It is really sad, and happening here in Texas. But a lady at work set up a box outside our elevators to collect food they need. I really hope they have to use more than one box. I put some stuff in there today, you would be surprised how much food $10 can really buy. Happy to report the box already had stuff in it when I came in this morning. - A. (Girl Entropy)

Not quite that simple Johnny. Though I'd agree that the pantry has a greater need and should have a greater priority. I'd like to expand on this, but I have to go pick up my little reason for living. Mabye later. - MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS

(oh lord I don't want to start any craziness with this guys..) - A. (Girl Entropy)

no craziness A. I just don't think it's that simple or direct a line. But you're right. We've got our priorities set wrong. - MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS

Perhaps a positive spin on a problem like this (local HS food pantry) is that, altho not restricted to one area, the respective local community(ies) will ultimately be the ones taking responsibility for maintaining the pantry inventory, anyway. This creates the opportunity for self-advocacy and a great lesson in community service. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from iPhone

Thanks for that positive spin :) It was that kind of thing that made the whole thing start. The email even said "My sister asked me to reach out to my co-workers because she hears me talking about how great my co-workers and this company are at giving back to the community." - A. (Girl Entropy)

I like that one, Logical Extremes. Again, the ability to like individual comments or posts would be good here. On topic, Ophelia, who is not that active on friendfeed but filters here anyway, is very good with words. Her updates both entertain and inspire me. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

Haggis is a barrel of laughs. Steven Perez (when he's not fighting with conservatives) has spawned his own catchphrase. Nicholas K. is just about the most awesome single dad I've seen in a long time. Tina and... more... - Derrick

Victor Ganata is extremely intelligent, empathetic and articulate. He has always been exceptional in understanding others whether he agrees or disagrees with an opinion, and he always treats everyone with the utmost of respect. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

Jonathan Hardesty is funny and wants to have my babies. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

I wish I could call everyone out. If we interact here on FF, take it on faith that I pretty much love you. - Derrick

You know me, I can't ever pick one person so I will simply say that every single person I subscribe to is smart, interesting, funny and make being on this crazy little site damn entertaining. Those that I've been lucky enough to get to know beyond the site prove to me every day that everyone who has ever said only weirdos and stalkers are online are just smoking crack. - ♥patricia♥

I'm with you there, Derrick. There are so many people here who are funny, smart, interesting, entertaining, etc. There are even a couple who make me blush. NOT NAMING ANY NAMES. And then there's that cilantro dude. - Ha3rvey (Free hugs!)

Steven Perez is a funny guy, and can cheer me up when I'm down. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

My first public skype call was with Tad, Glen and the Amber - a lovely conversation with great people. Tad was bold enough to live stream his workstation software install expedition and is a friend to all; Glen is chalk full of incisive wit and has an easy going conversational style; and the Amber was open enough to admit she's shy but worked up the courage to get on the call anyway. Like I said, great people, and quite representative of all the good people in the land of friendfeed. - Micah Wittman

Derrick tells the truth! There's so many awesome people I can't choose just one. - Rodfather

Anika Malone is as straight a shooter as there ever has been She will always tell you the truth about what she thinks. I find that to be a quality many people could use more of, and I respect her, and love her for it. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

I can't believe that there are people I'm not subbed too. - Derrick

Shevonne is a hottie, and not because she is nice to look at. - Amber, Random Time Lord

Damn, Amber. LOL - Derrick

I love how Amber unabashedly states things. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

I wrote in my 25 things that one of my laments in life is finding a woman who challenges me mentally. Tina does just that. With aplomb. There have been countless times that I was sure of myself and she will make a comment that causes me to completely rethink the issue entirely. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

Louis Gray got me to think about just being myself and not allowing the tech heavy side of FF to intimidate me. - Derrick

Michael W May and RAPatton have the best tastes in music I've ever seen in my life, I applaud and covet their music collection. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Derrick and Mona and Akiva and Rochelle and Jandy and many of you make me laugh every day. - Louis Gray

Derrick is the shizzle, treated me like an old friend. That's one of 500 nice things I have to say about other Friendfeeders. - Eric @ CS Techcast

Rachel Fox takes outstanding pictures. - Louis Gray

My little pea... fierce as a woozle, indeed! So quiet and unassuming... But so poignant at exactly the right moment. The exactly right phrase to every situation. If she can' brighten your mood, nobody else can, either. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

Johnny is just plain awesome - Amber, Random Time Lord

DYSP! Steven and I disagree here and there but in the end I absolutely admire his sense of humor and his passion. A truly A-Lister here on Friendfeed. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

Alex Scoble, Cristo, Chris White and Thomas Hawk vigorously defend their views, but never take it (or make it) personal. - Kevin Fox

Whew... Only 642 more to go... - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

I love all of you here making my day brighter :) - BeeLing

Thomas Hawk makes me want to be a better photographer. - Ha3rvey (Free hugs!)

Derrick and Monique would be my road dawgs if we lived in the same city - Amber, Random Time Lord

Robert Scoble is on a mission to close down every other social network. - Louis Gray

Tad is fun to chat with, even during the awkward moments - Amber, Random Time Lord

I love the fact that Rochelle always likes the same stuff I like. And that Akiva and I both grew up in southeast Texas. - Glen Campbell

I think, most of all, Derrick has redefined what it means to be yourself. I have had the distinct honor of meeting him and what you see here is Derrick. He shares his joys with us, which is easy, but he also shares his pain with us. I must say that I am jealous of his ability to be open, and I admire him immensely. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

I love everyone who gives me a reason to drop my pants... that and Josh Haley. - Johnny Worthington

I love johnny dropping his pants....o_O - WorldofHiglet

Pea has a lovely voice and makes days better. - Amber, Random Time Lord

Bow to Joe Pierce and his movie prowess. - Amber, Random Time Lord

*drops pants* - Johnny Worthington

edythe, Morton, and Kol for liking so much, they allow everyone to notice each other. - Rodfather

I can't thank April Russo enough for all the help she has given me here at Friend Feed. She is awesome in my book. - Brent - Long Live Rock

I'd like to know how it Is I'm seem to be commenting right around the time Johnny is droppin' Pants? - Brent - Long Live Rock

Way too many good things to say about way too many people - I don't want to leave the island - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

Anna and Rodfather are great for liking the same random crap I do. - Amber, Random Time Lord

James (Tsali) you win for putting up with me all this time. Rah for being Rah. Anika for cutting to the quick in a conversation. And etc... you know you rock if I follow you. - Amber, Random Time Lord

I guess what I am saying is there are roughly a squillion people on Frienfeed of whom I am in awe and also whom I have the most respect. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from fftogo

i like jim janotti. he's cool. - Trish Haley

i dig vijay and his love of all things japanese is fun. - Trish Haley

johnny worthington and his family are wicked beautiful. - Trish Haley

So are the Haleys! - Johnny Worthington

rochelle and akiva are nice in person and on FF... - Trish Haley

i would trust pea and trish r to babysit zoe. (that's saying a lot) - Trish Haley

aww. I would love to babysit Zoe! That means a lot, thank you. - ♥patricia♥

You are all awesome, but bonus props to Tina (aka) for consistently being the voice of reason in every conversation, to Derrick for being Derrick, Jandy for keeping it real, and Chris Baskind for bringing the issues, Kol Tregastes for non-stop cool stuff...man, I'm realizing I could go on...what an amazing community :-D - Louis Simoneau

Mattie Kenny is the Dulcinea to my Don Quixote. - Steven Perez

3 of you are awesome for donating to the cause of FFundercats recently. - Josh Haley

i like the conversations with katie about books. i like holly because she's a librarian and helped me with a geek problem. shevonne is down to earth and makes me want to buy boots. - Trish Haley

Holly is sweet and nice. - Steven Perez

WorldofHiglet is the Slayer. What else need be said? - Steven Perez

Josh Haley RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLES!!! - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Actually, many of the people in this thread are in my "FF Favorites" list - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Every time something mildly bad happens I think to myself "DAMN YOU STEVEN PEREZ!" (hey, I think that's something nice to say about him ;) - Alejandro

darren heydon is good for warm fuzzies. - Trish Haley

I can't pick out one specific person. I can name a few names, but there's a specific reason why I am subscribed to every person I am subscribed to. Jandy and Lindsey all kinds of rock, fellow geek chic - so they have to. :P Johnny keeps me cracking up. Zee is my boy for sure, we'd make a ton of trouble if we lived near each other. Monique is straight up, which is win. I can't keep naming people...it would...take up way too much time. I am sure I will though. - Candace

anika converted me to munchos... yum! - Trish Haley

joey is charming. Helen is real. Penguin is adorable. - Laura Norvig

Anika has wonderful, curious kids. - John E. Bredehoft

Outsanity is one funny motherfucker -

Parth has a wonderful soul. Abby makes me giggle. Carlos and Cee Bee hotties who post some interesting material. Laura Botts and Jim's banter gives me happy feelings all day. Everyone I'm subbed to rocks. That's why I'm subbed to them. - Anika

Robert Scoble was the first person I heard mention FriendFeed. - Ha3rvey (Free hugs!)

High-five to Leather Donut for bringing us some tits and ass *thumbs up* -

oh, it would be so hard to list them all. FF is full of lots of interesting, hilarious, entertaining, and just outstanding individuals.that I look forward to interacting with, many of whom have already been mentioned. yes, even that cilantro lover ;) There's also a fantastic bunch of librarians who hang out here and make me proud to call myself a librarian. yeah, we kinda rule. :) - holly

Holly is right. I *adore* my collection of librarians here. - Anika

Michael W. May for his taste in music, Abby Martin for her exceptional good taste in movies (and being a great mother), Håkan and Rutger for their photos and Robert Scoble for the geek stuff. And Esther for being both sweet and smart. But all of the people I sub to are people that brighten my day! - Baard @ Pixum

MWM and RAP and Haggis for the music mindshare, Tad and Steven Perez and Josh Haley and Worthington for cracking me the HELL up, Derrick for being Derrick so awesomely, Anika and Krynsky and Amani and other LA peeps for helping me learn the city, Abby and Joe Pierce and Logical Extremes and others for the fab movie convos, Louis Gray for apparently paying more attention to me than I... more... - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

I'm just really happy to have a great internet family. :) That's what makes FRIENDFeed so awesome. - Internet's Tad

to all ppl i follow, thankyou for sharing with me too, :) - chaz2b

I feel me some Abby Martin especially b/c of her passion for sports and movies ... Jandy for not seeing me stalk her when she was drunk posting at the show ... Shey for being the first cool Canadian I have ever met ... Mona for laughing at me when i asked for advice (and then giving me good advice) ... Anika for opening up her home ... Shevonne for being a fly girl with some fire ... I'll continue in a bit - Amani

I´ll add some love for Derrick as well b/c he was the first friendfeeder to take me under his wing and show me the ropes here. BUT there has since become a handful or two more that define my good friendfeed experience. Intelligence, humour and warmth is abundant amongst you all, so thanks. - Thomas Bøhm

Amani, were you for serious there? - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

Mona is incredibly thoughtful and considerate of others, not to mention AWESOME!! - Rachel Lea Fox

Agree with Holly and Anika - my librarian peeps here are amazing. And there's so many of us! - Laura Norvig

Yolanda always makes me smile. MWM and Tina are always helpful, caring, and knowledgeable. Anika is just awesome, especially her smile. Steven's singing is great. Outsanity & Tad always make me laugh (MVB often, too). Alex & Chris B. make me think. Derrick makes me feel. Jemm & Nia provide so many late night smiles. I appreciate Katie for getting me reading more, and Lindsay for getting... more... - Alix Whitmire

Jandy, I will never tell ... - Amani

Amani o_O - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

thanks for letting me hang out with you Friendfeeders(all of you) it's an honor and lots of fun! - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Steve C. always makes me laugh, ALWAYS. plus everyone else mentioned here is truly awesome as well :) - Kelly

Sorry, I can't say anything at the moment because I'm still enjoying everyone's warmth from Jandy's group hug - Mark Krynsky

It's hard to pick anyone out because my total FF is made up of so many brilliant people: funny, witty, acerbic, insightful, mind-blowing, thrusting, truth-seekers, provocative, timelords (okay, there might only be one of them...). I love the tech, the LOLs (and the LOLcats), the debates, the discussions, the shared problems, the glimpses into others' lives....And Monique, you have started one of my favourite threads so special props to you. - WorldofHiglet

Monique is a clever woman to kick off such a good thread - RAPatton

Josh and Trish and Tina and Yolanda and Derrick and DYSP Steven make me smile and laugh when I need it. Johnny Worthington always hears when I post an "OMG help me!" kind of thing, and he usually responds with the most absurd and sweet message. Also, he has haiku battles with me, which is all kinds of WIN. Mark W and Fierce Lindsay make me smile, and Mark VandenBerg makes me LOL. And there are so many other sweet and funny and clever people who fill my day here on FriendFeed... thank you to everyone! - Ladybug Heather

AKA Tina is really good at putting up with my silly e-crish. - teh Dork Knight

I love the wit of many but must say MVB can make me spit drinks at the glance of his posts. - Janet

I don't even know where to begin. There are so many people who I love for different reasons. Hmmm..My LAers (Derrick, Amani, Derrick, Anika, Monique, Edythe) because they are always cooler than cool. My New Yorkers (Mona and Cee Bee) because they bring the versatility. My mothers (Abby, Rochelle, Jen, Katie) because they always remind me how great is it to be a mom. RAPatton because... more... - Shevonne

That's OK, Shevonne. I'm sure it will come to you. :D - Steven Perez from IM

You see....Steven Perez because he's funny as hell, and then there is Yolanda cause she is one of the sweetest EVER. Ugghhh too many. This is like giving an acceptance speech. =D - Shevonne

Not me! I was talking about Mike Nayyar. He's so lonely in his dumpster. :D - Steven Perez from IM

I love all of you! - joey

I enjoy everyone, but like Thomas Hawk's photos and philosophies the most, and learn more from Louis Gray than anyone else. - jcunwired

Returning the love to Amani and Abby -- you guys are two of the most honest and kindest souls on FF. Others: RAPatton probably doesn't have a single mean bone in him (ok, poor choice of words there), I could watch Dobromir's feed all day long, Shevonne is a ray of FF sunshine, Akiva is just flat out funny - Shey, Jamaican of FF

There are so many people here that make being here worthwhile that I cannot single out just one. You guys all rock in your own special ways. - Alex Scoble

I LOVE ROBERT SCOBLE! ~ just not in that way. Not that there's anything wrong with that. - sofarsoShawn

Awww thanks Shey! My favorite Jamaican. There is Pea, my fellow DCer who is one of the most genuine peeps up in here! - Shevonne

I love interacting with all the smart, funny FFolks on here! Too many to name, but among my favorites are: Lindsey (the Fierce), Rochelle/Akiva/Audrey, Derrick, Ladybug and Scott, Jim J, RAPatton, Tina (the Enigmatic)... You all rock my world! - Laura B needin' waders

ceebee and RAPatton post the most interesting stuff. and even if he wasn't my boo, i'd still be all up in JT's feed for his pop culture and politics mix. love their stuff - tiffany

M F has a great eye for great eye candy. - Mark H

there are many friendfeeders i feel particularly warmly to because something of their inner self is always coming out: Michael W. May (who has always been at the top of the list), Morton Fox, Anika/Faboo Mama, Yolanda, rap, Cecily, Tad, Akiva, Rochelle, Lindsey, Lindsay D., Beeling, Rodfather, Ginger Makela, Mark Trapp, Ceebee, Shevonne, Abby Martin, Jandy, Zach Landes, Nathan Rein,... more... - edythe

The community / user base of friendfeed is one of the biggest reasons that these days, I'm spending more time on friendfeed versus twitter. I love you all, even the people that annoy me from time to time. - Jeremy

and even yuvi, despite the fact that he used to call me Old Woman. :) and Donna Mugavero and Joanmarie and Michelle Martinez... and Silpol (now A.T.) and oh my gosh PARTH!!!! :) - edythe

and oh my gosh Shey and his jaw-droppingly lovely wife Jasmin... i like Robert Scoble, too, because he always seems upfront to me and never mean. - edythe

Additions - Cee Bee for highest quality posts consistently, Ebrahimi for pictures and translating squiggly for me, Iain for celebrity without celebrity tude, Jessie and Soup most socially conscious posts, Tina for being FF spirit leader, Lindsey online 24hours day, Anne and Jim for getting me here. :) - Steve C

I 'like' Tyson Key! And a bow toward Trish Haley, thanks for making me blush. Speaking of Haleys, Trish, Josh, and Morgan have all become favorites of mine. MVB makes me laugh like a fool, as does relative newbie Valley... he is one funny dude! Gosh, all these names are coming to mind! I'll probably have to comment more later. But for this go-round I will close by saying... if Carmen ever stops posting those daily mug shots, I'm going offline! - Jim Hearts FF

Oh, and to Monique who I guess I am not subsribed to... you completely win for putting up this post. What an excellent, excellent gift to the community! - Jim Hearts FF

Mona has gorgeous legs! :) - Beau "Slick Foot" Liening

I gotta' send some love out to the original band of hooligans who got me hooked on FF: edythe, RAP, Brandon, MWM, Louis Gray & Robert Scoble. You guys filled my world with gobs of geekiness and great interaction on SO MANY different levels. Thanks for making my addiction to FF possible. Of course, now there are so many, many, many others who help to keep me here. I can't even begin to name you all. - Lisa L. Seifert

PS: Thanks for putting up with my Twitter-heavy stream while I'm in school for this year. Eventually, I'll have time to interact more again. xoxo - Lisa L. Seifert

Alix is a wonderful caring wife who tolerates me and my annoying sleeping/eating/battlestar watching habits. I is lucky. - Shawn Whitmire

I love Akiva for bringing the comedy and the pain. I love Derrick for being as real in the OSH parking lot as he is on FF. I love Monique for being the Pied Piper of the interwebz and helping me recover my sanity. I love James for being so gently poetic. I love Rahsheen for the soft porn videos he always takes in bed. I love Johnny Worthington for being such a cuddle muffin of hair and vulgarity. I love Steven Perez for being a quicker wit than me and nicer than me all at once. - nakachi

I love Kaia for the name Baronnes Von Cut A Bitch. I love Robin (bcultural) for the science and the nation building. I love Logical Extremes and Rodfather for their quiet affirmations that never go unnoticed. I love Helen for the virtual daps she gives me whether I'm flying or firing. I love Anna Haro for all the little hearts she sends my way <3 to you, too, honey girl. - nakachi

It would take too long for me to put all my 328 subscriptions in here! If I'm following you, rest assured that you and your content matter to me. :) - Laura B needin' waders

I love Rochelle 'cause momminess becomes her. And I love YOU! - nakachi

Nakachi's Facebook status updates blow my mind - Rodfather

I love this thread. We need an effing FF CONVENTION. - Derrick

This past week has not been a very good one for me and I might have lost it completely if it hadn't been for Johnny, Steven and Derrick for all dropping their pants for me. I love that there are people on here, that I have never met, that care enough to make me laugh when I am feeling way crappy. <3 And of course there are more, just giving props to those that made me feel better this week :) MWAH! - Penny

Nice Thought Monique - Two thumbs up. - Brent - Long Live Rock

Also, Nia for her beautiful photos and Mo for making me laugh too :) - Penny

I'm ready for more. I love Nia for her kindness and her pictures. I love me some g.warbucks 'cause she's brilliant AND pretty to look at. I love tiffany for sharing the good, the bad and the tipsy. I love Chris Weige for keeping art on my mind. I love that the people who subscribe to me give a damn about what I have to say enough to take the time to read me. I'm grateful. - nakachi from fftogo

I had no idea when I started this thread that it would blow up like this. I think this is a clear example of the value of friendfeed: the relationships we build. Sure, we have differing interests, politics, social situations and opinons, but at the end of the day, what we come here for are the people. No one exists in a vacuum, and if they did, they probably wouldn't have a friendfeed... more... - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

Shut up, bitch. - Derrick

Just playin'. :) - Derrick

Best two comments ever. - Akiva Moskovitz

It is hard to pick a single person but as stated...you all bring me much needed laughter. I especially LOVE the ladies room girls - you bring the essence of love. Thank you so much. - Janet

Personally, I think Akiva Moskovitz rocks. He's one of the main reasons why I use FriendFeed. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't even be here. - Akiva Moskovitz

Yeah, probably not. - Christopher Harley

Can I just say I love you all?? - Katie: Witch Of The West

Monique is all kinds of sexy. From all shy and flirty to 'oh my!' and dirty! Me likes the Mo'! - Morgan Haley

Kaia is the bee's knees because she changes her name to the funniest stuff. - Ms. G.Warbucks IYN

Monique rocks because she sings off-key in supermarkets and doesn't give a damn. (She will understand this.) :) - Ms. G.Warbucks IYN

That was a fun night. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

not to sound too much like a Mutual Admiration Society, but edythe's feed was what got me hooked on this place. :-D - Karim

Ha, there are too many awesome people here to list and compliment individually; but Denton Gentry, Kevin Johnson, and Morton Fox are all awesome and extremely skilled techies! - i80and

The FF founders and employees rock pretty hard too thanks Paul, Bret, Jim, Anna etc - Steve C

browneyes - otsunegi

Lindsay D. and Kol Tregaskes are kind and respectful even when disagreeing with someone. Civility like that deserves a mention because it is not often the norm in the online world. - Jim Hearts FF

Penny for her personality and her self portraits which are awesome and so real!<3 Dobromir, Richard and Michael who always wishes good morning ^^. Manuela, because of her sense of style what becomes to art, also a very lovely person! Nakachi, Girl, you rock my world! Stay as you are - you are wonderful! L4S who is so much fun and amazing person :) Will, cause of his kindness and cause... more... - Nia

Everybody already mentioned in this thread, plus Meryn and Joelle for being really smart and inquisitive about some of things I find particularly interesting, too. Or at least the way they discuss them. Not that I don't think that way about the rest of you, just no one had mentioned them yet. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

Jim, yeah there's no need to be bitchy while disagreeing. Get your point over but don't be nasty about it. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Bumping this, I hope. Loved this thread! - Laura B needin' waders

I think Josh Haley has a very smart and charismatic older brother. No, not that one...the other one... - Morgan Haley

*bump* - Laura B needin' waders

Laura Botts cracks my shit up. I'm still trying to figure out what her obsession with grits is. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

This thread was the business. *stirs grits* - Derrick

Mo, she's a Suthehn Gul. - Derrick

IIRC, it's all Barry's fault. - Laura B needin' waders

Oh, and Ha3rvey's post today made me think of this thread. http://friendfeed.com/ha3rvey... - Laura B needin' waders

Mo Kargas for his awesomeness. (I hope that by honoring great killer robots my death shall be quick and painless once they take over the world) - Jemm

i80and for his Linux postings, FFing Enigma for roller derbying, Mo Kargas because... the giant robot intimidates me. - DGentry

echostreamer has solid integrity and calls me on my sh!t - highly appreciated - William Harryman

How did I miss thread? It needs a comeback. Thank you LB for the bump. If you think I might know who you are, the odds are high I love you and thank you for being around (even if you have moved on, in which case you won't see this, but it is important to mention nonetheless) and thank you for letting me into your lives a little bit *hugs* - Michael W. May

MWM, this was one of the best FF threads I've ever seen. Sometimes it just needs to reappear. :) #complimentSunday - Laura B needin' waders

I didn't see this the first time round either (but it looks like I was in NYC when this was happening). I have friends who I knew before FF for whom friendfeed has allowed me to know better and there are folks like RAP, edythe, and MwM whose posting and conversation have enriched my life and ignited my imagination. Thanks kids. And, of course, I love Sneezy but FF had little to do with that. - Jason Toney

I really admire Kol Tregaskes, he's always informative and gets involved quite a bit with almost everything. Quite the most selfless individual I ever came across on the net :) ... Also Holden Page impresses me everyday because he's a younger individual with tons of interest in several subjects that most older users usually get into, he shows he's not afraid to learn and keep his... more... - Tim Tunnicliff

I've met a lot of great people here on FF (I won't single anyone out). This is a diverse community that has brought some great conversations that simply could not have been done with a little blue bird and whale. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Holly Rae is the biggest FF'in promoter within a hundred mile radius of my chair. :) - Laura (hear me raura?)

I can't really say much about anyone specific, other than ya'll are the greatest and have helped amuse me through some very hard times over the past year or so, and a special thanks with much love goes out to Amber, the Random Time Lord for introducing me to FF and for putting up with me for this long. - Tsali, The Native of FF

I totally like Louis Gray - Mike Fruchter - RAPatton - Worthington - CS Techcast - and tons of other people - thanks for making my use of FF enjoyable. - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

Gosh! Thank you very much, Tim! - Kol Tregaskes

You're very welcome my friend :+) - Tim Tunnicliff from email

Tim is way too nice to me, thanks bro :D - Holden Page

It's well deserved bro and you're very welcome :+) - Tim Tunnicliff from email

Holly Rae because she is such an awesome edugeek - always sharing and encouraging others to think. And, no one can beat her flapper Halloween costume! - Shea from BuddyFeed

Yeah, that costume was the business. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

I enjoy my time "in" here with most of my FF friends - VAL D.

Sheesh! Thanks @laurapresently and @shea for saying nice things about me. How the hell (excuse the french) did I miss that!!! Thanks Monique for starting the thread and mentioning 'the business' - Holly Rae, FFer

My turn... Laura (hear my raura) for putting up with me talking about FF endlessly on days like 'the day FB bought FF' - Holly Rae, FFer

Thanks to Shea for being generous with time and resources. He invited me to Google Wave. - Holly Rae, FFer

Thanks to Josh Haley & Johnny for creating a podcast that rocks and clued me in to so many things about FF. - Holly Rae, FFer

Thanks to Josh Haley for being the first FFer who gave me really great advice about lists. - Holly Rae, FFer

Thanks to Louis Gray for always searching up Friendfeed mentions and liking ... makes Newbies feel great!! - Holly Rae, FFer

And thanks to everyone but my Diet Coke enabler is here now. Then I have to go work again. Love you guys! - Holly Rae, FFer

:) - Josh Haley

Here's how it looked just before sunset today. November's great for bringing out the locals, who know the tourists (anyone not in our zip code) won't be around long when it's only 60 degrees and breezy down here. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from email

This reminds me of when Cartoon Network opened their vaults and showed all their controversial and racially insensitive Warner Bros. cartoons in a special, but then never showed them again. I wonder why Disney hasn't done something similar. - cecily from iPhone

Akiva and I were just talking about this a few days ago. Is it available to view anywhere now? - Rochelle from iPhone

There are bootlegs, Rochelle. It was released on laserdisc and in other countries, but not here. The last theatrical release in the U.S. was in 1986. - Derrick

I can see why. But I did love those stories as a kid. - Trish R

I've never seen the film, and I'm keen on reading the original stories by Joel Chandler Harris. I'd like to think that we can get to the point where we can view material that is racially insensitive WITHOUT all of a sudden blaming people. The movie was made in 1946, it's nearly 2010. Am I going to look at my non-black friends and go on an attack? Unlikely, but perhaps I give people too much credit. - Derrick

I agree, Derrick, because the stories are written as being told by Uncle Remus, who spoke that way. - Trish R

Julius Lester has written some interesting pieces about the stories and Harris. He's also re-written some of the stories. I <3 Julius Lester! - Katy S

For those who don't know Julius Lester's work: http://members.authorsguild.net/juliusl... Derrick - did you know that he takes pictures?? - Katy S

I'm not familiar with his work, but will check it out. Thanks. :) - Derrick

He's on a children's literature list serve that I'm on. So are Jane Yolen and Philip Pullman and some other authors. I have to really stifle my fan-girl impulses when they post. - Katy S

Derrick, I'm not so worried about (black?) people blaming anyone for the material. I'm more worried that if this movie becomes available, a million American people will automatically buy it and show it to their young kids, who will absorb the "happy darkies" stuff without realizing what's wrong with it. I'm torn about making complete sets available. There was some kind of WB DVD set... more... - Kamilah Gill

I've seen it, and find it amusing that they built an attraction around it (splash mountain) but bury the movie - RAPatton from iPhone

I've never actually seen the whole thing. I would probably buy it if it were available. - Ha3rvey (Free hugs!)

Kamilah - I'd be just as worried about adults' reactions to it as kids (for the same reasons) - Katy S

It's funny to me that people are worried about reactions to this movie, when there are other movies out there where so-called "happy darkies" are integral parts of the storyline, but nobody would ever think to ban them. I'm specifically thinking of my (beloved) Gone With The Wind, a movie that's held up as an American classic (and rightly so). How is Song of the South more offensive than GWTW? It makes any protestations and any censorship/suppression moves by the parent companies seem disingenuous. - cecily

And what about Dumbo? Can't you still get Dumbo on DVD? What about the crows in Dumbo? - cecily

I agree, C. I do think Disney is one of those really overly cautious companies. Remember, the created the Touchstone Pictures umbrella to release movies that strayed outside of the cutesy Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Escape from Witch Mountain films, because we would get them so confused. And I love those crows. - Derrick

Cecily - I've never seen Gone With The Wind, but I suspect I'd have a similar reaction. Dumbo just makes me cringe! I wouldn't censor anything, but I still think about how people react to the films. - Katy S

Katy, I had to work hard to reconcile my feelings for GWTW. I love that movie, but it took me a long time to get there. What helped was trying to think of Prissy's inaction and "simplemindedness" as a form of slave resistance. If I'd never spent time reading slave narratives, I'd have never been able to come to that conclusion. </end_hijack> - cecily

I'll tell you what movie really made me choke on my diet coke recently. I was watching Heidi with my niece. Somehow, this story that's suppose to take place in Switzerland, looked like it took place in a home that was on a Southern Plantation, complete with a mammy-character. - Katy S

Dumbo and Lady and the Tramp are both questionable. I just think that Song of the South would get much more exposure, especially to children. It doesn't use animals for all of the racial stereotypes like the others. As for Gone with the Wind, I haven't seen it either, but I'd say it's more clearly aimed toward adults. Though I agree, with you, Katy. The adult exposure to Song of trhe South might be almost as problematic... - Kamilah Gill

My extensive training with literature and critical examination of it helps me get through the parts that make me cringe. That critical distance thing. Having said that, I'd never give a child a copy of Little House on the Prairie. Just not going to happen. - Katy S

Zip a dee doo dah is a great, fun song, but I think that's about all I'll need from that movie, thanks. - Kamilah Gill

"Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder..." - Katy S

I loved Song of the South as a kid (Br'er Rabbit is a G). I always saw it as a kind of animated Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer. There was a time when I think not having the movie available was more political than anything. Now, I think it's just hard to market (and to what value? There's not a real way to make ancillary money from Consumer Products from the film). - Jason Toney

Dumbo is coming out on Blu-ray in Feb, FWIW. - Alix Whitmire

LOVE Dumbo. I need to pre-order. - Derrick

Animation fans have this discussion all the time. I think WB did a pretty good job handling it in its Golden Collection sets. In the first or second volume, they had an intro you couldn't skip that had Whoopi Goldeberg talking about how some of the cartoons were racist and that although no one was condoning that NOW, they were part of our past and better acknowledged than buried or... more... - Spidra Webster

How odd that you posted this, I just watched this movie last night. lol - aerobroken

It seems to me that any racist ideology in Song of the South would be counteracted for children (like it was with me as a child) by the cultural attitudes of today. It was made in a different time and even kids today look at early WB cartoons and get something completely different from them than kids fro a generation ago did. I hope that someday they release it and let parents decide what is the best course of action for their own children. - Kryptic

Katy, what is wrong with Little House on the Prairie? I don't recall anything bad in it but it's been a long time since I've read it. - Rochelle

Yeah, what is offensive about Little House? - Matthew DeVries

It's incredibly racist - even for its time. The Indians are described as grunting savages. Ma quotes that "the only good Indian is a dead Indian" line multiple times through the story. It's really foul. Unless you are prepared to discuss the racism throughout the book with the child, I'd avoid it. If you haven't read it since you were a child, read it now as an adult and try to put aside your fond memories so that you can view it with some critical distance. - Katy S

Also, LHotP is still a popular read-aloud book in many classrooms. I wish it wasn't, because it is often presented uncritically. Imagine hearing the things in that book if you are an American Indian child. - Katy S

I enjoyed imagining I was one of those savages who put up a charade of attacks to hide the true force that was forthcomming, twas not fun being picked on because of that book when I was younger, then I detailed to my peers the history of the Cherokee and Tsali. On the other hand, I actually like LHotP now and I enjoy SotS as well. - Tsali, The Native of FF

Katy the same thing would apply to half of the John Wayne, Davy Crokett movies/books. America has been really slow at learning about other cultures and presenting them in a decent light. I think most of the stuff that's been written/read/etc needs to be put into context sometimes. I think the best thing to do is just continue to show by words and actions that the past isn't the way to treat or portray people - Sir Shuping

Sir Shuping - I agree. These things should be discussed. The problem is, it rarely is with this particular book. It is taught and read uncritically. I didn't say I'd ban or censor the book, I just said that I wouldn't give it to a kid without discussing these things. Sadly, this isn't done very often. - Katy S

The thing about LHOP is that it's about settlers. It's about people who were "given" land that was taken away from the natives. It's built in to the story. That the characters (somewhat fictionalized versions of real people) called the indigenous people "savages" is only true to what was going on at that time. Teachers, parents, caretakers need to put that stuff in context. http://www.newyorker.com/arts... - Spidra Webster

The success of some children's lit is interesting in that it is often based on what adults remember fondly. Little Black Sambo has never been out of print, despite the racism throughout it. - Katy S

Oh I know you weren't saying ban or censor. But maybe my experiences are prejudiced, but even though I read LHOP, saw movies like Song of the South, Dumbo, etc. I never thought of it as showing me how to treat other people. I learned that from the people around me how others were supposed to be treated. Perhaps because we've lived through all of this turmoil and change in how races/cultures/religions/sexual preferences are treated things stand out a bit more (just my deep thought for the evening :) - Sir Shuping

Spidra - That's true, but again I would say that this should be discussed with readers. My problem with the use of the text is the uncritical way in which it is used and taught, specifically in classrooms. And, most parents don't discuss these books critically with their kids. They just remember how much they loved it and give it to their children for that reason. - Katy S

I think that's a valid criticism, Katy. - Spidra Webster

I think it's easy for white folks to read these books and say that they didn't affect them (but, did they play cowboys and indians?), but that's like saying that the people of a minority group shouldn't be offended by something rather than letting them decide what is or isn't offensive. My point is, that Little House is just as bad as these other texts and images that have been... more... - Katy S

fwiw, I first read the book as an adult (although I was familiar with the tv show). I expected some racism just because of the time it was written and the attitudes at that time. I didn't expect it to be quite as bad as it is. - Katy S

Oh - Louise Erdrich has been writing a really fantastic series of books to counter LHotP. The first book is titled The Birchbark House. Great book, and the writing is much better than Ingalls'. - Katy S

I'm finding myself obsessed with some stuff where I expect there to be some racial attitudes indicative of the time: Uncle Tom's Cabin, Gone With the Wind, The Confessions of Nat Turner, Sapphira and the Slave Girl, etc. I need to give these all a re-read to give me something to chew on. I always find myself in a curious state when seeing non-black people write about black people. - Derrick

So fascinating. For the record, I hate Gone With the Wind but love Dumbo and recall liking Song of the South, although that was (obviously) years and years ago. My mother read me the Laura Ingalls Wilder books without comment, though I've since gone back to them and seen that they have Problems. She did, however, upon giving me the Little Colonel books, say, "Now, there are things that... more... - laura x

I haven't re-visited Song of the South since I was a child. I do remember feeling very comforted by Uncle Remus. There was a gentleness to him that was, frankly, missing in a lot of my surroundings. I didn't know enough to know that his way of speaking and singing would be racist... i may be mis-remembering, but I seem to recall that it was 'fun'... playful language. Older, sadder and wiser, I'd now be prepared to revise my take on Song of the South. - T. Brent, technopeasant

I had a Song of the South album with story/songs from sometime in the 70s, as well as a few other Disney records. Probably acquired at a garage sale. - Eric @ CS Techcast

Walt Disney actually campaigned for the lead actor, James Baskett, to be considered for an Oscar. - Melanie Reed

totally with you on the crows in Dumbo. But, um, yes, i love them. for what it's worth, as a child i saw them as funny, weird crows and funny, weird crows only. It was only when i saw Dumbo again as an adult that I noticed that perhaps they weren't just crows. - edythe

Derrick, I'm glad. Especially in the case of GWTW. I often find people most opposed have not read the book. There is a very pivotal scene that defines freedom and the motivations of one of the lead characters that most people miss. - Melanie Reed

I did not remember that Hattie McDaniel who won Best Supporting Actress for GWTW was also in Song of the South - Melanie Reed

Right now I am grading student essays for Othello. They have to create play review forms for each play and aside from some regurgitation of the text and the events, they do have cover motivation and are encouraged to set up arguments based upon the attitudes of the time which are pertinent to the understanding of the play. My point is that this play is going to also be a touchstone. What do we do about portrayals in literature ? - Melanie Reed

Derrick, Also, my other question is about Joel Chandler Harris who collected the Brer Rabbit stories but did not originate the idea. He is considered a folklorist. Should those stories be preserved or should they be forgotten. Is there something to be lost if they are forgotten? What are your feelings about that? - Melanie Reed

The grandmother points out a "pickaninny" in "A Good Man is Hard to Find." While reading this to my ninth grader--mainly second-generation South Americans (this was in 2000, in Miami)--there was a collective gasp when I read that word. I took that as a good sign. I did not use it as a "teaching moment," however. I said, basically, "this story was written in the American South of 1955.... more... - edythe

Otoh, were we reading The Great Gatsby, I'd have a lot more to say about the depiction of Jews and blacks, as it doesn't have much to do with giving you insight about the book's characters. Similarly, If the part in AGMIHtF was written as, "They drove past a pickaninny," I'd feel differently and perhaps would not have read it to them at all. But then Flannery O'Connor would also be a different writer and... well, you get what I'm saying. Well, I hope you do, anyway. - edythe

Wow, I had never heard the term "pickaninny" before this thread. - Alex Scoble

Joey and I had this conversation while waiting in line for Splash Mountain. I would really like to see the movie since I can't remember ever seeing it before (other than the classic zippity-do-dah song). I do think it's kind of funny that people are somewhat against releasing the movie - there are far more offensive things on the interwebs (godhatesfags.com and kkk.com come to mind) - Kyle Johnson

I am, clearly, a white woman and, of course, have always been so. That may may make me ignorant with respect to many things, although I have always tried and continue to try to pay attention and to be as aware and as sensitive as I possibly can. I am good at putting myself in other people's shoes and I do try to do it as much as i can and to listen. What I'm trying to say, really quite awkwardly, is that if my attitude above seems shockingly dismissive of the Flannery O'Connor scene, please tell me so. - edythe

Oh, and, Cecily, I very much like your interpretation of Prissy's simplicity being a form of passive resistance! - edythe

Here's what SOTS says to me: that there is courage in horrible circumstances. That there is joy that survives the deepest pain. That humor is stronger than ignorance. And that if you destroy that you let them beat you. - Melanie Reed

And yes, Cecily, that is exactly what Margaret Mitchell was saying in Prissy. :) Besides, don't you just kinda clap and lol when she shuts the lid of the trunk and breaks all those dishes?! lol - Melanie Reed

I watched the Japanese laserdisc version and I found it to be mostly harmless. I understand why it's a sensitive thing because of how the black people are portrayed, as happy slaves, but you have to take it in the context of the time from which it was made. To censor it, kind of goes against the grain of America, in my opinion. We need to remember our past, not cover it up. - Alex Scoble

Edythe - that makes sense to me. There's a difference in age groups here. Your 9th graders can process what you said about the text more critically than the age group LHotP is written for (approx. 2nd graders). Plus, if you are examining other texts critically - like Gatsby - it's part of the pedagogy, so there is a connection. Actually, I think LHotP would be a great text to use with middle school and/or high school students to discuss these issues. - Katy S

A quote from Flannery O'Connor, paraphrased (i'd love to know your thoughts): "The artist needs to let the devil have play in the art, lest the devil have play in the artist." - T. Brent, technopeasant

There is nothing original about evil. It is a corruption of good which is in itself creative. Observing and accurately reporting that corruption does not necessarily arise from creativity. A confession from C. S. Lewis on writing the Screwtape letters: it was one of the most distasteful voices he had to adopt when writing it.. But he did it for a purpose. You can read about it in his afterword of the book - Melanie Reed

I don't have anything to add (besides that when I bought Peter Pan and we watched it my jaw dropped...I guess growing up in the PNW counterbalanced the depictions of Natives that were in that film, because I completely missed that as a child). I read the Brer Rabbit stories when I was a child and I completely missed the subtext. The 'tar baby'...wow. But at the time I had no idea that... more... - joey

And for someone who doesn't have anything to add, I sure do ramble. - joey

O'Connor's quote is definitely worth remembering, Brent. - Christopher Harley

O'Connor is one of my favourite Southern writers. Of her contemporaries, she's one of the few whose black characters were multifaceted, complex individuals who had active lives outside of and away from whites. Even though the races encountered each other frequently in her work, black folk weren't just window dressing in her stories. In light of her work, I think Brent's quote is illuminating. - cecily

O'Connor is good - ★ Soner Gönül

Cecily, yes,there are a number of southern writers I appreciate that come to mind in particular Eudora Welty who wrote about living in Mississippi and was inclusive of all the lives she observed. Of her's my favorite is "A Worn Path". The concern I have with Ms. O'Conner is while her aim was not ambiguity, her aim was to highlight Grace, it became an issue- most exceptionally in her "A... more... - Melanie Reed

Not true. It was released in the US as a videodisc back in the 1980's. I got a copy ported over to VHS. It's a shame it isn't available in any other format though. It portrays black people as people with dignity and love in my opinion. - Kevin Trotman

"When someone sends a text message to your Google Voice number, you'll receive the text on your phone–but not from the recipient's phone number. Instead, it will be a 406 number you've never seen before, with the person's name preceding the message (as pictured here). Add that number to your recipient's address book entry as "Other" or a custom label (like "GV SMS"). Each one of your text recipients will have a different 406 number. From there on in, if you SMS that 406 number, your recipient will receive text messages from you—and it will look like they're coming from your Google Voice number. Their replies to any messages you send to that number will go back to your Google Voice number and come to you via the 406–meaning, your recipient never sees the 406 number. Like I said, it's a kluge, but it works." - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from Bookmarklet

Depends; if I'm not crunched for time (i.e., trying to get through as many shows as possible, or only have 45 minutes to watch a show), I'll often let them roll because it's less hassle than grabbing the remote and fastforwarding.

Ha ha Ken, good point. I'm mostly a skipper, but some do catch my eye. I'll start shows late even if my schedule lines up with the broadcast just so I can skip.

"Mr. Crumb, whose artistic imagination is exceeded only by his skill at self-deprecation, has referred to himself as a "half-assed" musician (he plays various string instruments in the guitar family), but music has always played a major role in his art. He is currently on the road in the U.S. to promote his latest project, a fully illustrated "Book of Genesis." In his first full-length graphic novel, Mr. Crumb shows that even when interpreting the Bible as straightforwardly as possible, deliberately avoiding any kind of commentary or parody, his "Genesis" is frequently as strange and even perverted as anything else he's drawn." - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from Bookmarklet
