Hey FriendFeeders! I love you guys. One of the big differences between FriendFeed and Google+ so far has been the different approaches to common names, nicknames and pseudonyms. Today, there is an announcement that expands support for nicknames, and what we call established pseudonyms, which you've been using for a while. https://plus.google.com/b...

Would "Warmaiden, HoneyBoom Shitstirrer," be acceptable as a name? I'm asking for a friend.
- Me
@LG- pseudonyms vs Real identify. ?? What ever happened to google wanting to control real World ID's and ID management across the various ecosystems. When Google+ come out, they removed pseudonyms a/c's and created a Backlash. Dont your think its easier to say "hey we sorry- we f*%ked up and trying to settle the issue for the community. The ecosystem is a community, for the community and by the community.. no corporation can control that.
- Peter Dawson
NOW I have my real name out there and for what? ratz
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
Glen, I bet "Warmaiden, HoneyBoom Shitstirrer" would probably not pass due to the last word containing a naughty phrase.
- Louis Gray
Caj, I don't believe the +1 button is looking more like FF's bookmarklet, but I can check again. As for the nym issue, it's been a very public discussion, obviously, one without an easy answer.

- NotdaBOTTurlokin4
@LG, so if this is the No case on control - how can you explain the fact the SERP are different on various H/W devices ? After all , is that not control on what is being displayed... further more the fact that G+ is heavily used in the indexing of Google Plus pages ?? Seems that something is heavily flawed with Goggles theory .. and yes we all know that you joined later in the game, but...

@KG, actually I stand corrected.. I emailed Barry of SERoundtable.. seems google results are 1+ (one off) syndrome.. more like a bug rather then a feature .. !

Based on Yonatan's comments at https://plus.google.com/u... it sounds like FriendFeed must invite awfulness because there are names like "m9m" and "Micah" and "whatever" and "CW" and "LAG liked that" and "caj is meh". Is FriendFeed that awful?
- Amit Patel
Being able to modify your name to suit your mood or desire is a PLUS for Friendfeed in my book.
- caj
Also, I don't understand your comment "...FriendFeed must invite awfulness...".

I'm just laughing that 'Micah' is one of the names chosen :))
- WoH: Minding her Botts
^Seriously, I know two people named Micah! On FF and in real life!
- Zulema ⋅ spicy cocoa tart
Although, we could all update our names so his comment makes even less sense. :)
- caj
To be honest, I think it is a step forward, and I also understand why ppl are still upset. I didn't like it, either, but to me it was much bette than the awfulness of the Quora debacle. I had already chosen to go by my 2 names on Google+, and my biggest problem now is how to deal with multiple email addresses, blogger logins and YouTube accounts.
- WoH: Minding her Botts
¿WTF is a "Micah"?

You know, I think Louis may be right. With the ability to set any name at all on FriendFeed, just take a look at what's happened here! It's truly appalling.
- Me
Micah is indeed awful.
- Melly Botts
It's a tragedy of epic proportions. Also, sleep is awesome.
- caj
Still forces you to use your real name, all this does is open the ability to associate a nickname that you might be known by elsewhere, and personally that's not good enough. I refuse to adopt any social network that doesn't allow me to maintain my online anonymity.
- Benny Bucko <Team Melly>
What caj said. Botts has taken name-changing to it's highest art form. Look, I can do it too! ==>
- Laura Norvig
I think I prefer the Google+ way of naming. You can add and display a nickname but it still shows your real name. It gives some control of names, there is always a constant in the name so its easy to see who you are but at the same time you can add a bit of fun with the nickname.
- Kol Tregaskes
"Quora"? What a dumb name?
- Me
Glen, I imagine the naming committee who took the final vote on the name didn't have a quorum that night. Just a hunch.

Don't you hate it when you record a live sporting event (say... football) and you tell TiVo to record an additional 60 minutes, and then you go the whole afternoon avoiding the score... and then the game goes into overtime... and then some dude fumbles, and you know what's going to happen, and it's bad... and then the TiVo recording stops? Yeah.

I had that discussion w/co-workers last week. That's when I appreciate my old VCR. Pop in an 8-hour tape, tell it to record and don't worry about it. Unless the game goes into, like, 17 overtimes.
- vicster
Ironically, that same thing happened to me - but I was watching about 1/2 behind real time and was saved by the rolling buffer. Not that I wanted to see that ending anyway, but....
- Ken Gidley
It seems like a really intelligent system could notice that an abnormally large number of people watching the sporting event live are staying on the channel, and that could be a cue that the event is ongoing, and that it could tell those devices recording the event to continue recording some extra time if there isn't a conflicting scheduled recording. We have the technology...
