Why I need Friendfeed, when I have no friends? - Kristian Salonen
Well, Kristian, Lindsey says you just have to act like you've known someone forever. So do you have 5 bucks I could borrow for lunch? - Ladybug Heather
Hell yeah! We keep this top 4evar! (don't we?) - Kristian Salonen
why would I want to feed my friends? they're all capable of feeding themselves. - Neil Bernhart
Pete, no, this is exclusive to FFers. I clicked the bookmarklet in the wrong browser window and just decided to go with it and post it anyway for fun. Enjoy, my lovelies! <3 - Carmen
“Made a little Google public profile search engine for the 130,000+ profiles, if you want to grab the PHP+SQL to set it up you can email info@blogoscoped.com”
Out of interest, why aren't you making this available online? Is it just for server reasons? Would you be happy for someone else to host it? - Tony Ruscoe
This was just meant to be a small side project and I didn't feel like hosting at the moment, but if anyone wants to host it, please email me so we could discuss... - Philipp Lenssen
Nice :)... Google has only 130 K profiles? - Bindu Reddy
Bindu, those were all that were contained in the Sitemaps files. However I suppose those are all only the ones users set to public, and even then I don't know if there are more public ones not contained in the Sitemaps... - Philipp Lenssen
Paul: don't throw rocks. Microsoft announced "nothing" yesterday and went straight to the top of TechMeme. Apple at least announced something new today. Geesh. - Robert Scoble
Scoble's claim would be accurate if Microsoft received the same HYPE level as Apple. We can agree that both companies received some press for relatively sparse announcements. But no one was refreshing liveblogs covering Microsoft's announcement. - Eric Geller
I can't help it. I am so anti-Hype. When the general media tries to ram something down my throat as being so darn wonderful (whatever it is), I immediately find myself reacting against it. Often I find the hyped up object is not THAT special anyway, and most of what I heard was just.. hype. - Ian May
its almost a fact that Steve Jobs gets more attention now than George Bush (the President!!), Steve Balmer can only wish he had that much power when launching Zunes or Windows 7 branding announcements. - Tatenda Mbavarira
Well, at least some Mac users are pretty put out about losing FW400 (entirely on the non-Pros). Don't forget missing HDMI, eSATA, analog video out, more USB ports, things on competing models. Not all fanboyz out there; some (rightful) dissent. - Peter Kirn

With the iPhone and Mobileme debacles's I'll never again listen to a revival tent show by Jobs or the immediate bellowing out by the evernacle choir of the latest gospel.... I'll wait for v3 of any thing, and then only if I see that Apple has changed it's practices in the support arena; not just developed new songs foe the gospel tent. - David HC Soul
Well, I thought the announcements were kind of "meh" as well, but the only people hyping the $800 MacBook were people who obviously had no idea what they were talking about. Unlike most companies, Apple has to deal with the irrational expectations of a customer base that is fed fantasies and outright lies as if they were corporate press releases. - Kevin Pedraja
@Ian - How much more cool could you be? None more cool. - Rob Sterling
Seriously. Please. Do not think this market looks cheap. The calamity is not yet over. If nothing else, you will sleep better and be a nicer person to be around if you are on the sidelines. - Christopher Sacca
my old boss had a big laminated sign over his desk that said, "Cash is King." I always liked it. - Mark Foundos
Buying when others are fearful is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition to buy into the market. Beware the talking heads. - Chris White
Y'all don't subscribe to the random walk theory, I take it? Or you're just warning about volatility? - ⓞnor
nor, I think the random walk theory applies when the market is working well. This could be a case where the market/economy is hitting a divide by zero. - Sanjeev Singh
So, you selling short? (Or buying puts, etc?) Because if you believe that, you should be, right? - ⓞnor
I have been 2x short since Friday. Unwound my position today. With prices where they are, the psychology of value will probably compel some buying. Nevertheless, this mess has not fully trickled through the market and is not fully priced in. Thus, I continue to be bearish. Just not willing to use leverage to make that bet. - Christopher Sacca
Oh, and while muni bond funds are paying 4.25% yields, I am pouring loot in there. Won't last forever. But, tax-free yields equivalent to make 7% make me temporarily happy. - Christopher Sacca
“I think photosynth might be affecting the way I take photos of an area. Instead of clicking a few shots of a main feature I may think to look up, down, and around with the lens just to give it that "synthy" boost.”
We are in the process of transitioning our servers this afternoon to accommodate the new feature, so there may be a hiccup or two in the meantime :) - Bret Taylor
I'm wondering how it decides which entry to show and which to collapse. - Andrew Trinh
really cool... it's working now :) Is there any kind of priorities? Like FF entries take priority over Blogs, etc.. or is it first come, first served? - Tim Hoeck
hmm. first off, I <3 friendfeed. But I am kinda sad to see it go the way of all software getting more and more popular, it gets more and more complicated. I love the elegant simplicity of the V1 and hope that you guys can continue to improve the service and features while still maintaining the "light" and simple feel. I know we all struggle with it, but with every V2 product release I'm reminded of this general pattern in SW design. - jenna
I don't get how the duplicate feed works. If you look at the feed items for the two stories attached to this story, they don't have related links. Do they only show up on the home feed? Or does only the first story get the related links section? - Mark Trapp
The entry with the most recent discussion activity goes on top. - Bret Taylor
we don't need to use beta anymore :) new feature is totally awesome. thanks guys. - Baturalp Torun
(channelling corvida ...) awesomesauce! - Rob Diana
Better of discussion activity, having being put in the related entries will definitely kill that. - Andrew Trinh
Bret, awesome. Any chance of seeing this feature in contexts other than the main feed, like on profile pages and rooms? - Mark Trapp
What's the time length for dupe aggregation? A day? A week? A month? All time? - AJ Kohn
The feature will go live in profile pages and rooms soon. Rolling out this feature 100% will take a day or two, so right now, you will only see it on your home feed and friend lists, but we are actively working on transitioning our system so it is available everywhere. - Bret Taylor
Interesting: if you have something hidden, let's say all Google Reader entries without likes and comments, and that's the most recent activity for the link, the entire discussion goes from visible to hidden. Edit: cool, thanks Bret. - Mark Trapp
When will it be in the API? (I know, always the one with the stupid API questions) - Dustin
pretty cool that the feature is demonstrated immediately below this post - Jason Kaneshiro
so this means on those rare days ping.fm actually works, i won't dupes in my feed? - Anika Malone
