"Do you always need to reboot the computer and/or start Windows Task Manager? Look no further than Ctrl+Alt+Del, a handy tool which does just that and nothing more." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet
Cool! :-) - Kol Tregaskes
hahahaha :)) - Mahdi Ebrahimi
Is it sad that I've been Ctrl+Alt+Del for over 15 years I never thought to use the delete key by the number pad? on a mac now, so I guess I have an excuse, but wow... - WiseYoda (aka Patrick)
lol i want - i also want a windows-e version plz - Allen Stern
WiseYoda, or the one-handed Ctrl+Alt+Delt, is the Ctrl+Alt on the right with the closest Del button. Gosh, I'm such a geek. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Yeah, that's the one I use, unless I'm already typing. - WiseYoda (aka Patrick)
I always control - shift - escape - it's like the karate chop of death! - Rich
Hehe. - Kol Tregaskes
Lindsey is Fierce!
Found my alternative to FriendFeed. Peace out puppies. Find me on Facebook and Twitter
Hasta la vista, babe-ee - RAPatton from iPhone
*grabs chair* - vijay
Hey, I know you! - Christopher Harley
What Andrea said. - Michelle Martinez
*twiddles nobs looking for the right hailing frequency* - Micah Wittman from iPhone
kwitters, sheesh ;-) - Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
Before you go you have to at least start a thread badmouthing everyone, and then I need to see a decent flounce. - Dragon Goldmaple
When I go to FB & Twitter I keep getting a message that tells me: DROP DEAD DOUCHEBAG. *sobs* - Mark Wilson
@Mark like kindergarten when Sally McCocknabber punched you in the face every time she saw you. Ahh the memories. - Carlos Ayala
I second the demand for a flounce! - The Bohemian Penguin
@mwilson I thought that is how a girl says, "come up and see me some time" Canadian style - RAPatton from iPhone
*waves* :( - Helen Sventitsky
I'm gonna miss you two, but I hope you'll have fun in the alternative service(s) + there's still Twitter :) - Jemm
I'm very, very sad that you won't be here anymore. I'm glad I'm friends with you on FB, though. - josh neff, Fun Dip of FF
I'm sad to see you leave Lindsey. :( wtf happened? :(( - AJ Batac
srsly!??!? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Beau "Slick Foot" Liening
Bye Lindsey! Might catch you on the 'alternatives'. :- - Kol Tregaskes
DO ANYBODY NO WHAT ALTERNATIVE SHE IS TALKING ABOUT? - Yolanda
Also, do you know how sad this makes me? :( Did anyone else decide to leave in the past few days? - Yolanda
Gutted :( - Timothy Griffin
dislike - Vezquex: God of FF
is the alternative called yahoo chat? - Gus
er... "alternative" is a little vague. Surely she doesn't actually mean Facebook and Twitter. Those are sad excuses for alternatives, IMO. - Jason Huebel
Maybe not great alternatives, but that's where the action people are. They're not on FriendFeed. - Kittyburgers
For the record, I'm using GReader with a Feedly front end for content and sharing with Mark and Twitter and Facebook for social interactions. - Lindsey is Fierce!
I'm way behind... I still use my mouth, ears, eyes, and toes for social interactions. - Mitch
You'll see Twitter + Facebook + FriendFeed as well and keep an eye on Posterous too ;-))) - Desirade
What? GET BACK HERE! - Mo Kargas
Kol Tregaskes
Good grief, if you want to read tech stuff only on FriendFeed then go to all the great tech related groups. If you are thinking that Best of is going to be tech only then you are using FriendFeed incorrectly. Best of will give you a wide variety of content. Use lists, saved searches and the hide button to filter what you want.
You control the content you see on FF. - Kol Tregaskes
As for great tech groups, here's a few: - Kol Tregaskes
You know, scoble told me that when I use to bitch about FFm "you make FF what you want it to be" Kol... it is time we start realizing he is simply trolling and all we are doing is boosting his ego - Holden Page
Exactly. - Maxamad (Amazigh)
How I Followed 30,000 People And Then Freaked Out When They Talked About Human Interests And Not Just My Beloved Tech Startups - Daniel J. Pritchett
Then you can drill down to specifics like Google Wave: http://friendfeed.com/google-... and http://friendfeed.com/google-... - Kol Tregaskes
And you've got tech sites groups like RWW: http://friendfeed.com/rww and Mashable: http://friendfeed.com/mashfri... - Kol Tregaskes
LOL, so true Kol. But given that things in Best Of Day are not tech-related anymore, does that make FF mainstream like Twitter? I love to follow geeks too but I understand the world is full of different interests. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Oh and there is a big Twitter group: http://friendfeed.com/twitter... - Kol Tregaskes
"all we are doing is boosting his ego " - well, there was that burn about a so-called "geek" needing to look up how to do screenshots... made the whole thread worthwhile IMO. (I can't roll my eyes hard enough when media branding topics are considered "geek" topics, BTW.) - Andrew C
and yes, I am full of haterade! - Andrew C
Andrew, that was totally funny and he was on about.com I believe? what geek still goes to that site ? lol - Holden Page
I'm not going to search for my FriendFeed friends on Facebook or Twitter. No offense but I don't want to interact with you folks on Facebook, and Twitter's 140 character limit is for morons. - Terris Linenbach
+140 Terris! - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
if every friend were chosen purely based on discussion of technology, then the general stream would more strongly favor that subject. otherwise, groups also have a "best of" page, as do friends lists, either of which could have a more narrow focus - Mike Chelen
Terris: the character limit becomes unnoticeable after ongoing usage, more discussion can be broken into many posts if a subject requires. standalone clients can also be helpful - Mike Chelen
Mark: the overall number of tech or non-tech users on a service shouldn't influence the posts see in either friendfeed or twitter home pages, since they depend only on what the user's friends are posting - Mike Chelen
Daniel: lol! - Mike Chelen
uh oh, another FF rant ;) - Terry O'Fee
Kol Tregaskes
Another FFer celebrating their Birthday today is Mattie Kenny. Happy Birthday! :-) - http://friendfeed.com/matsie
Another FFer celebrating their Birthday today is Mattie Kenny.  Happy Birthday! :-)
Have a good one! - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet
Wow lots of friendfeeders with birthdays today...Happy birthday! - Alex Scoble
Yep, Ahsan's too: http://ff.im/b44FN - Kol Tregaskes
Go Scorpios. - Jeremy
It's good to be a Scorpio. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Happy Birthday! Scorpios FTW! - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
happy birthday! :)) - Nia from fftogo

What is your FF Comments/Likes Ratio? (Comments divided by Likes to 2nd decimal place - as of now) - http://flickr.com/photos...
What is your FF Comments/Likes Ratio? (Comments divided by Likes to 2nd decimal place - as of now)
1.05 (670/633) - Micah Wittman from Bookmarklet
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
0.79 - Brian Roy
0.67 - Nine
1.39. - Rochelle
1.61 - I only 'like' when I want to throw my support behind a topic but don't have anything constructive to add. - Bjorn Stromberg
1.12 - LogEx
1.41 - WorldofHiglet
5.08 (3181/626) ! - ◄ani625Ξ
0.66 - I tend to 'like' things without needing to comment further, I guess, and I notice I usually like the things upon which I comment. Well, frequently. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
.39 (2457/6242) I guess I don't comment much. I do 'like' a lot of things, it would seem. - Bren, Photophobe
0.62 then again i have over 11,000 comments - Cee Bee
1.23 (5287/4229) - I am put to shame by Cee Bee's participation, good grief! - Her Lindsay-ness
@Cee Bee I think you meant 0.62 - ◄ani625Ξ
1.27 (902/705) - Leandro Ardissone ⍨
yes, thanks for the correction. lindsay, you're making me feel bad. lol - Cee Bee
0.8576, I only like mostly when I'm going to comment - Mol, Time Warping
1.55 endlessly repeating. This Like/Comment included. - Dana D
before this comment: .69 I kid you not. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)
So far: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81 ... (if you average 1 comment per like, you'd be 1.0 ... if you're 0.xx you might herd content more than discuss ... if you're whole numbers above 1 you may not 'like' much or discuss plenty or both) - Micah Wittman
CSV_A: 1.05,0.75,1.44,0.81,3.74,0.79,0.77,0.67,0.77,0.76,1.39,1.8,1.61,1.12,0.141,5.08,2.41,0.66,.39,0.62,.62,1.27,0.8576,1.551,0.69 - Micah Wittman
1.83 - Grant Bierman
I tend to like allot of photos which really don't need comments. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)
InPerpetualMotion(Gina k), I really liked this 'Like' of yours (in a series of pics, so I flickr fav'd it): http://friendfeed.com/e... and commented. Thanks! - Micah Wittman
.37 1002/2708 - Michael Fidler
this is what scobes walls would like if he didnt have FF - sean percival
I haven't seen Marc Canter's fabled fence (just heard about it), but I imagine this but on wood pickets :) - Micah Wittman
This week: 2.48 (1162:467) but this is not the norm, my likes usually match or are higher than comments, overall: 0.95 (14228:14846). - Kol Tregaskes
Thanks Michael, Kol! I'll recalculate average/median when we build up some more data points here. - Micah Wittman
1.03 748/723 - Keith - @tsudo
.68 6986/10194 Someone wrote a great article on the comment-like ratio a few months ago. Search on FriendFeed is crashing on me... I'll try to get the link. - Mitchell Tsai
Thanks Mitchell (btw, search crashing on me too - lots) - Micah Wittman

*bump* - Micah Wittman
Thanks, Mark! - Micah Wittman

Thanks, Rachel! - Micah Wittman

Thank you, Alix and David! (and Alix, you're tied with Siavash for the Highest Like ratio. Wow). - Micah Wittman
2.94 - j1m
Thank you, j1m. Ok, I'm gonna roll this up into a csv and call it a night. - Micah Wittman
CSV_B: 0.95,0.7,3.46,3.98,1.02,0.15,0.34,0.52,1.31,0.56,0.16,1.39,4.62,2.63,0.15,0.52,2.94 - Micah Wittman
this week = 0.45%, alltime = 6.43% - chaz2b
CSV_B Mean: 1.49 (previous mean for CVS_A: 1.27) - Micah Wittman

0.49 (493/988) - Bluesun 2600

3026/5013 = 0.6036 - Roger Chen
0.107 probably the lowest here - Nicholas James
chaz2b, Bluesun 2600, Roger, Nicholas — thank you! - Micah Wittman
.76 - jamar78
5.25 but I don't know what this *means, yet. maybe I'm just stingy with my "likes" compared to others? - Marg Uerite
Thanks jamar78 and Marg! - Micah Wittman
A recent change in FF: now the comment count shows total number of comments (previously multiple comments in one thread only counted as one) http://friendfeed.com/e... so all the numbers above are from the old methodology.... - David HC Soul
My new ratio: 0.76 all time (old methodology .52).... this week 1.39 - David HC Soul
*bump* - Micah Wittman
1.26 (2965/2346) - Micah Wittman
1.37 - Glen Campbell
Thanks, Glen and pea! - Micah Wittman
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
.38 - Ryan Dadey
Ryan, I have to say, that's one high caliber ratio ;) - Micah Wittman
An update it's .44 which is an improvement from .36 - Michael Fidler
1.5 exactly - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
2.94 1040/354 I have likes set to post to twitter automatically, so I'm careful with them. :) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

0.73 up from 0.66 on Jan 08 - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
0.37 for the week past, 0.45 on the whole. - Parth Awasthi
Michael, Anthony, Ahsan, guruvan Steven, sıɹɥɔ and Parth - thanks for dropping in your stats! - Micah Wittman
5.81 i'm not using it as does everyone else here. that is fer sure. - Marg Uerite
But remember, the comment counts also includes comments imported from other services. - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Ahsan, huh, I'd never considered that. - Micah Wittman
17942/30571=.59 - Alex Scoble
Alex, thank you, sir. - Micah Wittman
ALmost 2:1 exactly. - Amani
Much obliged, Amani. - Micah Wittman
3062/5777 you do the maths. - Will Higgins™

Steven, yep, you were a 0.85 in April. - Micah Wittman
2.10 now ... - Amani
0.97 now. - Eric Johnson
Amani, so your comments have climbed a bit. - Micah Wittman
Thanks, Eric. - Micah Wittman
yes, but i am not consciously "not liking" things - Amani from IM
Probably, just chattier then :) - Micah Wittman
I'm down from 7.16 to 6.94 :-) - Ken Sheppardson
the live NBA playoff threads have ALOT to do with it. - Amani from IM
Ken, the FCC may be interested to explore how your "I'm down" may be offensively self-deprecating ;) - Micah Wittman
.56 eeep, must try harder - Threepwood
4.52. I don't bother to like things I've commented on, since commenting already flags it as interesting. - Andy Bakun
0.46 (1698/3638) - Glenn Slaven
Threepwood, Andy, Glenn - thanks (Andy, that's my mo too; then I'll Like if it warrants a "double vote"). - Micah Wittman
1.31 (4,471/3,401) - Karoli
Thanks, Karoli. And the both of us have a _very_ similar ratio and absolute numbers. wow. - Micah Wittman
1.15 ! Noisy... need more liking, I guess. - Ryo / Fuck Facebook
Thanks, Ryo! - 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
In March the Mean was: 1.49 - Micah Wittman
1.021276595744680851063829787234042553191489361702127659... via Wolfram Alpha - tom murphy
Thanks, tom. And though a bit verbose, your friend Wolfram is resourceful :D - Micah Wittman
0.55 (254/444) - Willem (@wim66) ☠
Thank you, Willem. - Micah Wittman
In April you were 0.97, so you're liking more / commenting less. - Micah Wittman
1.88 (779/414) - Ton Zijp
Thanks, Ton. - Micah Wittman
0.43 (3597/8305). - Parth Awasthi
0.74 (1970/2667) - Scott of Two Countries
And thank you Parth, Scott. - Micah Wittman
Parth, compared to your April numbers, you've been consistent. - Micah Wittman
2.12 is my ratio. - Rick Cogley
Thanks, Rick! - Micah Wittman
Np Micah. What is that photo? - Rick Cogley
.54 (4148/7674) Updated! - Michael Fidler
Rick, you mean that face with glasses I photoshopped tint into with an apparently disembodied arm which is actually very much attached to my eldest son? It's mostly just me :) - Micah Wittman
Thanks, Michael. Yes, you have a rising tide of comment percentage (oh, wow, you were one of the originals from January - cool!) - Micah Wittman
1.82 from 798 comments / 438 likes - David Damore
Thanks, nivé and David! - Micah Wittman
2027/1594 = 1.27 - Brome
0.58 - Marc Dong
2.9 (3,242/1,116) mhhh.. time to straighten my use of FF a bit.. thanks for this entry - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Brome, Marc and Thierry - thank you! - Micah Wittman
Thierry - yeah, 2.9 is fairly high - got to pick the pace on like side :) [but hey, whatever works for you is fine] - Micah Wittman
Stats Update: Last time I commented here my comment to like ratio was 0.107 it's increased to 0.645 ;) - Nicholas James
Thank you Nicholas and MiniMage! - Micah Wittman
Yeah, that's a decent upward rise in comments, Nicholas. - Micah Wittman
.6 (6,000/10,000) 3rd update - Now it's time to flip this on its head. My goal is to have (16,000/16,000) next time I post here. Regardless of what happens, I'm just looking forward to the next 10,000 comments, likes, posts, and new relationships I make here. It's all good! - Michael Fidler
1.76 (7539/4290) My commenting habits haven't chanced much, but it felt like I clicked Like a lot less, and this ratio confirms that for me. - Micah Wittman
It's that time again. - Micah Wittman
Thanks, Laura! (you're a 50-caliber gal!) - Micah Wittman
0.64 - Imabug
Thank you, Imabug. - Micah Wittman

Thanks Imabug, directeur, Steven, RAPatton, Jim, Brent and metalerik! - Micah Wittman
.83 - Jimminy
0.78 - Pete Delucchi
.82 as of right now. edit: on January 8th it was 0.39 -- when I saw that, I decided to make more of an effort to comment. When I hit 10k "likes" I decided I wouldn't "like" anything else until I also had 10k comments. - Bren, Photophobe
And thank you Jimminy, Pete, Bren and Penguin! - Micah Wittman
2.47 as of right now. - Jonas, Leper of FF
Micah, are you doing something with these numbers? If so sounds interesting. - Jimminy
0.58 - James (!?)
Jimminy, I'm copyrighting every single number. It's kind of a honeypot ;) Actually, it was curiosity mostly, but I also hope to build a sampling (small and self-selecting as it may be) for anyone who might want to analyze it. - Micah Wittman
Jonas, James and Kurt - thanks you! - Micah Wittman
You're welcome. I hope the results do some good. :-) - James (!?)
.31. I have almost 4 times as many likes as comments. - edythe
.86 - Eric Logan
Thank you edythe and Eric! - Micah Wittman
195/245 makes 0.8 rounded not including this one which would be 196/245 making 0.8 unrounded, - tom murphy
Thanks, Tom. - Micah Wittman
1.98 (588/297) - Bryan Zirkel
1.67 (19,550/11,684) - Mitchell Tsai
Bryan, Mitchell and Jeff P. - thanks, guys! - Micah Wittman
1.18 - it's always been close to 1, since day one, for some reason. - Laura Norvig
Wow, Penguin is a prolific liker! - Laura Norvig
2.67 (875/328) - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Thank you, Nathalie! - Micah Wittman
1.29 - Mark Jepsen
Thanks, Spidra and Mark! - Micah Wittman
0.49 - Jammy Lee
Jammy and Mathew, thank you very much. - Micah Wittman
I don't know I just like that picture - Brian Hendrickson
.40 - Ben Hanten
Mine was exactly 2:1 about a week ago. Did a screenshot when I had 2,000 comments and 1,000 likes. - Joe.... from iPod
SuezanneC, Brian, B E N and Joe - thank you all very much! - Micah Wittman
Joe, it's like see the odometer click through a nice round number - it's just inexplicably engaging. :) - Micah Wittman
1.40, nearly the square root of two. - Vezquex: God of FF
0.58 - Andy Bold
Thanks, Raphael and Andy! - Micah Wittman
1.15 (6777/5873) - JA Castillo
12.23 (844 / 69 ) I guess I take my likes seriously ;) - Chris Myles
1.63 - Serkan Mutlu
Wow I didn't realize I was so out of whack!! 12.23 that's got to be a record (and I don't even import my feeds with the summary as a comment)!! - Chris Myles
.87 - Nine
Thanks JA, Chris (wow, 12+ is unusual :), Serkan and Nine! - 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
When I first saw this: 1.91 Sept 28: 1.94 - MiniMage, sheeple of FF
536 comments in the last month has me at .8736...still creeping toward 1.00 - Bren, Photophobe
Thanks, MiniMage (2x participant!), Bren (3x!) and Shannon (your inaugural visit!) - Micah Wittman
Thank you, SustainedEuphoria. - Micah Wittman
I 'liked" this to change my ratio! (1.22 1040/850) - Mark Jepsen
Thanks, Mark. - Micah Wittman
1.45 - Brett Kelly
Thanks, Brett :) - Micah Wittman
5.67 all time. Second highest ratio on here. Woot! I love to talk. - Kevin L
0.125, I need to talk more ;) - mridul
Thank you both, Kevin and mridul (the two of you balance it each well :) - Micah Wittman
1.80 (10,189 / 5,666) [compared to Likes, my Comments still continue to rise] - Micah Wittman
1.02 (10323/10161) - Bren, Photophobe
.5666 currently (30,084/53,093) - Alex Scoble
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.

Someone has just spammed my Last.fm shoutbox!! Why is there no option to delete the messages or to report spam? :-( http://www.last.fm/user...
There must be somewhere... I'll go in to mine in a little bit and see if there is some setting that was missed :) TIM J. TUNNICLIFF http://timtunnicliff.magntize.com If you have a Yahoo/MSN messenger, feel free to add me at TJT2003 [at] msn .com or GTalk at TJT2003 [at] gmail .com - Tim Tunnicliff from email
Tim, you need to delete your signature when you are posting from email to FF (see above). ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
A bit of a overkill?...lol ... Actually its not a true signature ... Its a program I use called AutoText from Jitbit. I type in 1 or 2 letters on my keyboard and it displays whatever I set it to. So its actually part of the original message body. But nonetheless if it is annoying to the readers or members, I can shorten it with just my profile link if you wish like as such: http://timtunnicliff.magntize.com ... would that be ok ? - Tim Tunnicliff
DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
Let's all publicly love each other for a bit. Say something nice about another friendfeeder.
Derrick is really cute in person, and he's funny as hell. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
Nakachi is the bringer of words that brighten every day. - LogEx
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
Monique posts something that makes me smile or chuckle just about every day she's active - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
FFing Enigma (aka Tina) is articulate, witty, and passionate. - Glen Campbell
RAPatton might be the best dad i've ever read about (my dad excluded of course) - Steve C
I still love Anika's avatar. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
I have to pick one? - Ha3rvey (Free hugs!)
Nope. You can do it as many times as you like. For instance, I like how ha3rvey is funny and just a genuinely nice guy. :) - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
Akiva's great pictures of Babby Audrey and Rochelle always make me smile (technically that was just about one person... sorta...) :D - Her Lindsay-ness
"i18n" is short for "internationalization", i+<18 letters>+n. By that schema, i80and saved us all a lot of screen real estate. - DGentry
What can I say about one person? Jason Toney's posts always elicit wonder and insight. RAPatton, I feel like is just full of awesome with his insight and approach to things. 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
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
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

Are there rumours that Sega are to be bought out? I read a snippet in Edge last month, but nobody seems to know anything.
And a quick search on Google doesn't bring up anything recent. - Kol Tregaskes

Johnny Worthington
I'm watching Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen
rsa9kz.jpg
20 minutes in... meh - Johnny Worthington
There is a difference between 'wacky parents' and 'damn annoying parents' - Johnny Worthington
There is? - Jemm
IN this movie... yes - Johnny Worthington
This movie blows.......................................... - Johnny Worthington
Seriously... the wacky parents thing... meh - Johnny Worthington
So the most secure base in the world in vulnerable to attack by a kitteh and a Aeon Flux plot point - Johnny Worthington
Lol @ Johnny. - Roberto Bonini from iPhone
Tip: These kinds of movies aren't watched for their inspiring plots, logic or dialog. It has huge, transforming robots from outer space! - Jemm
So Volvo construction vehicles can withstand the pressure of deep waters but not Megatron.... - Johnny Worthington
Good point Jemm :) - Roberto Bonini from iPhone
Not good then, Johnny? Shame, I liked the first one. Though it was a bit silly I liked the sfx - the sfx have to be really good for me to ignore the poor quality of the rest of the film though. - Kol Tregaskes
It's just..................... meh - Johnny Worthington
I'll still probably watch it. It's on my Lovefilm rental list, so will just wait for it to turn up at some point. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
It was a terrible movie. I only made it about 10 minutes in and gave up. I have better things to spend 3 hours on. - Jason Huebel
@Kol, you won't LoveThisFilm. - Jason Huebel

Alex Scoble
This game is outrageously fun. The number of guns you can get is simply astounding. Graphics are very well done. Definitely one of the best games of the year. - Alex Scoble from Likaholix
It's on it's way from Amazon already. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
LOL - Alex Scoble from IM
you MUST try co-op mode, it's superduper. - bora "head" basman
loving the crap outta this right now, man. - Carlos Ayala
Better than Halo2? (looks decent, I think I'll get it) - Maxamad (Amazigh)
Are you kidding? Halo 2 couldn't even begin to be as good as Borderlands. - Alex Scoble from IM
Better than Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2? - LogEx
for me? yes, much better than Halo2. - Carlos Ayala
MW2 might be the game of the year. After some of the recent footage ive seen. - Carlos Ayala
Activision can go suck eggs for not showing up at PAX 2009...so YES, Borderlands is better than any Activision game can ever hope to be, until they decide to actually show up at PAX. - Alex Scoble from IM
sorry, but both modern warfare 2 and borderlands bring about one giant "meh" from me. Now Brink, that looks interesting, the head of Splash Damage did a great job of showing it off to us at the very least ;) - alphaxion
I was just joking since it just came out today. (not much of a FPS gamer -->) - LogEx
Your comment gets a big giant meh from me. :) - Alex Scoble from IM
also enjoying Borderlands. it's diablo FPS style. - timepilot
I am a huge fan of Bethesda and look forward to Brink, but...its not out yet. So until then, Borderlands and MW2 can dominate. Uncharted2 looks pretty amazing too, but i havent played it yet, but considering buying that too. - Carlos Ayala
@timepilot: that's good, diablo 3 is the shit - Maxamad (Amazigh)
I've never been a fan of the cod series - bland, grey/brown yawn fests each and every one of them. Until brink and Diablo3 come along, my fun will stick with TF2, KoL, OpenTTD and a plethora of indie titles that are bringing joy back to my game playing. Eufloria, for example, is a beautiful RTS. I also enjoyed playing around with Joe Danger, tho it's something I could get tired of all too quickly. However, feb means I'll get to buy a copy of the game my GF is working on... - alphaxion
What in the helen of troy is all that - Alex Scoble from IM
Erdal, you fail. Wrong game. - Maxamad (Amazigh)
What little amount of time I've had to play it so far, I've really enjoyed it. Glad you pointed it out, Alex, I hadn't even heard about it until you started talking it up. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
When do you play, Jandy? On 360, I hope? - Alex Scoble
Yes, 360. There's something else? :p And evenings, usually. After 8pm Pacific time. Or weekends, but I keep not being home on weekends. Or evenings, lately. :/ I'm still back in the first few missions; took out the first boss the other night, but haven't had time to do much more. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Do I have you in my friends list on Live? - Alex Scoble
I think so...I'm Susurrant Echo. You're ITBlogger, right? I know you're in mine, and I think it's got to be reciprocal. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Cool...I just didn't know who you were on there to watch for you and now I do. :) What other multiplayer games do you have? - Alex Scoble
Kol Tregaskes
"Twice, Infinity Ward asks if you're absolutely sure you want to see it. The scene, the fourth you'll encounter in the most widely anticipated game of the year, could be "disturbing" or "offensive", repeats the warning. You smile and agree that, yes, you are sure you want to see it. This is a videogame. They give them 18 certificates, but only to appease people who don't really understand what's going on. Sure, the images of violence and bloodshed on Modern Warfare's battlefields can be disturbing to an onlooker, but death in a first-person shooter is a five-second setback, a micro-reincarnation designed to provide challenge and an impetus to improve, not distress." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet
I'll be picking up a copy in about 2 weeks, can't wait. - Kol Tregaskes
i bought it and i can't wait! - Can Mert Bozkurt

For those who asked yes today is my birthday - the big 4-0! I celebrated by going to the dentist, lunch and later a biz trip to Richmond.
Have a great birthday, youngster. - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
the dentist? Wow! Have a great one, Steve. - Valeria Maltoni
Happy 4-0. I think I can still recall that one, vaguely :) - Patrick Jordan

How long would a mile take to walk?
Average jogging speed for a person is 9 miles per hour. - Jeremy
Walking a mile takes approximately 12-15 minutes for most people who are reasonably fit and have no mobility problems. - cecily
Uhhh, 9 miles per hour is really fast. I think you mean nine minutes per mile. Which would be about 6.6 mph. And even that's fast. - Kevin Pedraja
Last time I tried to run a mile (hahahahahahha), it took me 9-10 minutes, so I would guess walking would be about 15 minutes. - Rochelle
Thanks, I'm looking at studio flats near work and the cheaper ones are about a mile away. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Oh and I'll probably be walking not running. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Though cycling it might be cool, depending on the specific route. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Ack! 6 mph. My bad. - Jeremy
12-15 minutes to walk a mile - Shevonne
Walking at 4.5mph is a fast walk. (then again I have short legs) - Heather
3mph (or 20 min per mile) is a standard walking down the sidewalk pace. You might be a bit faster, but you also need to take into account waiting at crosswalks. Probably allot 30 min total - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I was thinking about 20mins, though I'm sure I could do it quicker. 20mins is not bad for getting to work each day. Beats 2hours or more and getting on/off trains and being at stations at specific times. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Kol, exactly! - Chieze Okoye
Plus 40 minutes of guaranteed low intensity exercise a day would be a nice side benefit. - Kevin Pedraja
I guess it depends on the person. I'm a fast walker - Shevonne
Shevonne, me too. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Kevin, that wouldn't be a bad thing for me. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
According to Tommy Lee Jones, it takes an average person 15 minutes to walk a mile. :) - Alex Scoble
@Alex hahaha - Shevonne
so how long did it take? or were you planning for a future event? - Chris Heath
Chris, he said earlier in the comments "Thanks, I'm looking at studio flats near work and the cheaper ones are about a mile away." - Rochelle
Chris, yep I'm looking for flats, well potentially. - Kol Tregaskes
I know I walked crazy fast when I was commuting in DC, so I can imagine it would depend on how far late you were running :) - Jennifer Dittrich
It will be nice to walk instead of sit on trains to get to work. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Commuting on trains is oddly very tiring. - Kol Tregaskes
3 mph is sustained marching speed. A forced march is 4-5 mph. Double time is like 8 mph. - Todd Hoff
I walk about 1.4 miles in about 20 minutes at a brisk pace. When I first started it took longer. - joey
So I could probably walk a mile in 15mins. - Kol Tregaskes

"Books and films are a linear form – a one-way communication from author to audience. Games are interactive, and increasingly players are discovering that the stories that matter most to them are the ones that they express through the game rather than the one that the game’s predefined narrative attempts to tell them. From the Machiavellian wrangling of Eve Online’s player-sustained universe to that last, improbably perfect, sticky grenade that garners you a Killtacular, player expression is rapidly overshadowing the script and setting. Here, we talk to three veteran writer-designers about where, if anywhere, traditional narrative belongs in a medium where interactivity is king. Ubisoft’s Clint Hocking, creative director on the narratively experimental Far Cry 2, is joined by Valve’s Chet Faliszek, master of Left 4 Dead’s mutable multiplayer storytelling, and FunCom’s Ragnar Tørnquist, the man behind the rich fiction of Dreamfall: The Longest Journey and the mysterious upcoming MMOG The Secret World." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet
