Whoa. I use that theme on one of my accounts, but I never use that account at night. - Anika

haha. Love Easter Eggs. Thanks for pointing that out. Like Anika I never use that account at night. BUT I do like how the solar system rotates on my Gmail Theme throughout the day. Very fine. :) - Melanie Reed

LoL - TheHenry

Awesome find Alessandro. Thanks. - Carlos Granier-Phelps

I'm watching. Right now, the little fox is having dinner. :) - Anika

Apparently, it happens at 3:14am - Carlos Granier-Phelps from IM

Okay then. I'll have to live with the screen shot. :) - Anika

@Anika, check out Alessandro's link. It has a bunch of additional info on Google's theme easter eggs - and pics! - Carlos Granier-Phelps

coool - Zafarali

I use this theme, and i have never noticed. :) - Simon Wicks

Hmmm someone just pointed out - the comment was deleted - that above quoted stats are a bit misleading. You might have to go to the article for the whole story - LANjackal

Not surprising. We use WiFi in our home every day via laptops, Nintendo DS and iPhones. - Jeff P. Henderson

太平盛世大多数出现在第二代到第四代皇帝之间，这时各种矛盾得以缓和，社会暂时处于平衡状态。不过，盛世通常维持不了太久，帝国开始衰落，人民的日子越来越难过，内忧外患开始出现，各种社会矛盾开始一点一点瓦解帝国的基业。从历史上看，基业长青基本上是一个梦想，历史总是陷入一次又一次盛极而衰的轮回。 进入崩溃阶段的帝国，没人能够挽救。明代最后一个皇帝崇祯，在位17年，清心寡欲、励精图治、呕心沥血，“非亡国之君，当亡国之运”。因无颜面对列祖列宗，李自成攻入北京后，崇祯皇帝自缢煤山。 康乾盛世后即位的嘉庆皇帝，也算是一位节俭勤政的好皇帝，他刚刚亲手惩办了大贪官和珅，立刻有更多的贪官站起来，他终究无法阻止帝国的由盛转衰。 - 小武

大家猜，keso想说什么？ - 小武

上次我分享过一篇文章——平庸的專制：从三鹿毒奶事件看新極權主义的特征与弊害。 - ggq

许允仁将胡錦濤主义命名为新極權主义。并将新極權主义与宪政民主主义和威权主义一起，并称为目前中國这个后極權社会中的三大思潮。许先生认为这三大思潮是以对鄧小平留下的政治遗产的不同态度为标志的。新極權主义将30年来取得的进步归因于黨的坚强统治，并且认定进一步加强黨对整个社会的组织控制和思想控制，是解决由于政治体制改革滞后引发的种种矛盾的唯一办法。一言以蔽之，新極權主义将“加强和改善黨的领导”，看作是解决一切问题的战无不胜的终极法宝。 - ggq

Ana's comment was not "press-approved", however. - Paul Buchheit

damn. - MG Siegler

had the opposite initial impact than I imagined, perhaps the speed is what facilitates a lot more interaction to engage follow-up - Lou Paglia

I agree, Paul. I've found myself engaging in conversations more since the Beta release. - Alejandro

Paul, there is option in old FF to import Twitter contacts & lots other options in 'Find & Invite', i dont see them in New FF. Have you removed them? - Roshan Ramachandran

Roshan: we will be adding them to the beta. - Benjamin Golub

FF如此，我很欣慰~ - 阿石

虽然新版很多功能很不错，但是新版的版面看起来没旧版的舒服 - dokie

Hoping for more buzz so it keeps comin'! Great to see so many familiar names posting again - Charlie Anzman

The new Friendfeed is pretty good. Congrats! - fbrunel

The new FF is cool. Filters are my favorite! - netvista

not actually, users just are testing this new interface before they are tired of it. keep watching. Would you like to release it again half of month later? - Aether

WOW look at that graph!! That is some serious FF lovin' traffic - wooo hoooo!!!! Congrats! The beta is a hit!!! I love it, keep up the great work guys!!! :) - Susan Beebe

I disagree... friendfeed has been so quiet lately i almost feel like.. http://beta.friendfeed.com/zee... just to get some attention!! - Rob Sellen :o)

This app rules. And moves. - Zu from AOD

Maybe what we see are the discussions of new Beta Friendfeed? :) - Alex Kapranoff

The key here is the "rising" slope of the *Replies* graph after the BETA launch. While the overall offset could be due to many reasons like old users logging back in to try the beta, launch hype, Scoble etc, the flat slope of the "likes" chart and the rising slope of the "replies" chart tells me we will continue to see increased *engagement* even when the excitement has worn off. - vijay

ｃｏｏｌ - carmenlu

Congratulations! - Jeff P. Henderson

Is that the hockey stick Arrington was going on about in the Gillmor Gang discussion? - Paul Jacobson

The Beta rocks and personally I noticed I am using FF a lot more since Monday - Mathieu Ayel

superb implementation Paul can we please have stats for most LIKED content and people easy to find without having to leave the site? - Thomas Power

Thomas, I'd say those stats are fine off site and on FFholic. We have Best of so that's fine for me. - Kol Tregaskes

Initially I *hated* the redesign ... but it's grown on me quickly and I find myself being a little bit more *involved* than usual. ;) - Brandon

I'm using FF more at the moment ... but not from beta. I'm using it more because Nambu of the iPhone supports it. - Mr K

@agawley good question :) - Kemal Hadimli

As someone else suggested, can you redo the graph and remove the discussions about the beta for friendfeed - LPH™ and his dog P™

good improvement. - pastas9

Could this also be interpreted to mean the new interface makes us talk more to get the same point across, i.e. behave more like we're in a chat room, exchanging "hello's" and "bye's"? The giant Gillmor Gang thread on Monday was the first time on Friendfeed I felt like saying "bye" before "leaving" the room! - Philipp Lenssen

not for me philipp, for someone w/ limited time to check in on ff i find i'm missing conversations more w/ the beta so not engaging as much - not ff's fault more an issue of my personal use case though... - mike "glemak" dunn

mike, doesn't "best of day" still work the same? That's how I'm catching this conversation. - Bruce Lewis

sure bruce that gives a good view of most popular or active conversations but the beauty of expanding lists is you can organize based on themes so the list proper give you recent and active and then when expanded you can drill down through individuals who may be less active - those are the conversations I feel I'm missing - mike "glemak" dunn

FF needs some way to communicate 'comments' other than color, because the grey (?) color denoting second tier comments is too hard to read. Don't fight your colorblind users. The mere position of second-tier comments is enough to indicate that they are comments without blending them into the background by making the font color low-contrast with the white background. Put three American guys in a room and there is a 23% chance that one of them is going to not be able to read FF because of poor font color. - A Mitchell

yes, definite improvements - keep up the GREAT work!!! - Walter Yu

Paul: Do you have that same chart with a line for the number of entries created? - Ken Sheppardson

Watched these all day - really appreciate it, helped explain a lot of their motives. - James Hull

Interesting the lack of service icons was driven by user testing. They said not knowing a service drove users crazy so they decided to remove them. - Todd Hoff

They said the service icons were used as a quality indicator but the uniformity of the entries and the ease of scanning makes that less necessary. - Todd Hoff

There's a futuristic name for FriendFeed's next step at this point: "chat". - Gianluca Neri from twhirl

Amazing news these are features I was looking for.Glad someone read our minds - Laura Gonzalez

awesome quality. Great camera that canon D5 you have. - Davide D'Incau

Awesome videos Robert, keep it up, I would pay to watch this videos. You Should do a documentary on FF and life streaming - Tweet Feeds

Robert, your hulk smash avatar is evidence that you may not be taking yourself too seriously. I had pondered the thought. Kudos. - Mattb4rd
