Congratulations Team FriendFeed on today's Facebook IPO. A big milestone on what at this point feels like a long journey. You were ahead of the world and the world is now waking up to many of the things you helped inspire.
Congrats Tudor Bosman, Paul Buchheit, Bret Taylor, Benjamin Golub, Kevin Fox! - AJ Batac \(o_o)/
And Jim, Ana, Casey, Sanjeev, and Dan! - Anne Bouey
Yep! I know it was not all-inclusive! But 1000 times, yes. - Louis Gray
What Louis said. Creating American wealth through new innovations and ideas. If we can get more of that, we'll all be fine. New servers for everybody! - Eric - 100% Choice Cuts
Now go pay off your mom's mortgage. - Kevin (barely visible)
Yay! New servers for FriendFeed! Wait... - AJ Batac \(o_o)/

I think it's awesome that in a general story in the NYT about Facebook acquisitions, they focus so much on the FF angle. - Stephen Mack
I would like to title this "Ooops, there was a problem!" :) - SteVe "Glory Juice" C
After calling him Paul around here, I find the use of Mr. Buchheit in this article a little uncomfortable. Mr. Buchheit, paging Mr. Buchheit. Mr. Buchheit to the front desk please. - Eric - 100% Choice Cuts
Eric, I only find that uncomfortable because I can never remember how to pronounce "Buchheit." - Stephen Mack
Steve. :) - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
Stephen, I think it's Boo! Hey!! - Eric - 100% Choice Cuts
LOL...always thought it was said, "Boo-Shay". :) - JA Castillo
I say “Boo height”… - Amit Patel
+1 Amit. - Louis Gray
Am I the only one who thought it was Buck-height? - Mellyboo
I don't think I've ever had any engagement with Mr. Buccheit. - Derrick
Around 2 minutes of this video he says his last name http://youtu.be/XISShFMiVew Something like booch height where the ch is a soft ch. - Joe
It is known. - Josh Haley
If I share via the Friendfeed bookmarklet that Google+ also has a bookmarklet, does the Web collapse? For those of you asking about it... here you go. - https://developers.google.com/+...
We put a bookmarklet in your bookmarklet so you can something something. - Stephen Mack
I'd take that risk. Louis, speaking of which I just released a new bookmarking Chrome app that works on..... Wait for it... Google+ AND Friendfeed (and more). http://goldenviewapps.com - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
Noooo! Micah just opened a wormhole! - Louis Gray
Micah is the red pill. - Bruce Lewis
Micah's buttons are for pushing. - Laura Norvig from iPod
It's actually a pretty good bookmarklet, what I had been waiting for. Outside of personal issues on Google+, I think this is a great move forward for the platform. - Eric - 100% Choice Cuts
Google Reader feels sad. - Todd Hoff
My buttons IP is up for the highest bidder. - Micah
Cool, ta Louis. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
I almost called you Louise there, lol. - Kol Tregaskes
Tell then to Open write api. Colose = dead. - CantorJF
Nice. I guess my version is dead http://ajbatac.com/gplus-b... :( - AJ Batac \(o_o)/
That feeling... when important people are talking about you. Only they're not.

True. After I had BDE erased, I must find another source for your entertainment. - Louis Gray
Infinitely Meta. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
What survey is this? - Stephen Mack from iPhone
The monthly survey, Stephen. I'm probably getting banned for posting this screenshot. :) - Louis Gray
And that was a question, with just those two choices? I'm talking to the survey team tomorrow if so. - Stephen Mack from iPhone
Stephen, it was a question, which came as a result of my saying I was okay with questions on politics. :) They also had Barack vs Michelle, Barack vs Jon Stewart, Stewart vs Colbert... O'Reilly vs Romney... all in good fun. - Louis Gray
If I were confronted with the Bachmann-Palin choice in the real world, I would move to another country. Seriously. (Maybe Russia, so I could keep an eye on Palin.) - jkram
It is time to have my name changed. This guy is infiltrating my results. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/player...

What will your new name be? I propose Louis Nosleepy. - Stephen Mack
Or Louis Slate? - jkram
Wrexham are a great side. - EBJT
You are the original article. Make him change! - chrisofspades
Stephen Mack liked this.

Not yet. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
Still not. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
27 minutes. Slacking. - Stephen Mack
Can you cite your evidence for that claim? - Stephen Mack
But all that proves is that I liked your post faster than I liked his post. - Stephen Mack
But how does liking a post prove how much I like or dislike a person? - Stephen Mack
You cannot lie. - Stephen Mack
"This" is pretty ambiguous, I think. - Stephen Mack
Hah, you're one to talk, you totally deleted a comment too. - Stephen Mack
All of the comments above which I made previously are true. - Louis Gray
Matthew and Sarah are guilty. But they deny it. http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Google To Acquire fflick For $10 Million - http://techcrunch.com/2011...
Google's picking up a Flickchart clone? - Louis Gray
Louis - it's not like Flickchart at all. - Nathan Chase
It's scraping Twitter for sentiment about movies. - Nathan Chase
they have a lot of competition too: See http://onesentencereview.com/ and Flixup http://techcrunch.com/2009... (now part of Miso) - Nathan Chase
Jeremy, too kind. - Nathan Chase
/ducks from body blows by Nathan. - Louis Gray
But hey, if Google wants to spend $10 million on a movie-related site, that's good news for all of us. - Nathan Chase
I imagine their sentiment analysis is what Google's swiping up. Talent and tech grab. - Nathan Chase
A coworker is one of the creators of fflick. Happy for him :) - Tamara
Meant to ask you, Louis - have you run into any of the fflick guys now that you're at Google? - Nathan Chase
Nathan, not sure. But good question. I'll look. - Louis Gray
They're probably with the YouTube team - which might be removed a bit from Google-proper. I'm not familiar enough with the lay of the land there at Google HQ to know. - Nathan Chase
Not sure if they all work in the same place but my excoworker works on the YouTube team in the San Bruno office - Tamara

Micah is fired again. - Louis Gray
Out of a cannon, into the sun? - WoH: Minding her Steves
He should be so lucky. - Louis Gray
Could happen.

Don't be shy Joy. I'll even put my pants on - Johnny from iPhone
Johnny has gotten so skinny, it's easy to confuse Walt (of Breaking Bad) with our bearded Aussie hero. I saw this a minute ago and thought it was Mr. Worthington himself.

Jeopardy Answer: "What is... FriendFeed?"

What is Rockton, Illinois? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki.... - Stephen Mack
[Aside] As a child, we always went to Rockford Illinois on "oleo runs" from Wisconsin. Margarine wasn't legal for sale in America's Dairyland, so dad would drive over the border to stock up when visiting relatives southern part of Wisconsin. (We lived a about 200 miles north, so such 'runs' weren't feasible on their own merits.) Sportscaster Bob Uecker's mother gave birth to him on such an excursion (though a few decades earlier, I believe.) #HaveNOideaifthisIstheSameRockford - jkram

National Corntoss Challenge Day- Find A City Near You!
The national corntoss challenge is coming back this year. Hope you'll join me. I'll be playing in SF on June 23rd. - Louis Gray from Bookmarklet
They changed the name of it. THANK GOD. - Glen, on vacation
...this is a better name? Than what?? - WoH: Minding her Steves
Formerly known as "cornholing" - Neal Krummell
Uh, it *is* cornholing round these parts (Indiana) - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from iPhone
My family still calls it corn hole. :) - Rochelle from iPhone
We can call it cornhole if we want to. :) - Louis Gray

This tweet amuses. Is it as significant for the parent that their son is on my son's team as it is that they played?

You always notice a celebrity sighting. - Eric - 100% Choice Cuts
Post the URL. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
Because you can't find it, Jimminy? - Louis Gray
Because I don't wanna download the image, and can't make out the URL in the Thumb. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
Native images on FF are "broken". :( - caj
probably not as significant for the parent, but more likely to interest their friends? - Iphigenie
Why I fill out the TiVo monthly surveys.
Screen Shot 2012-04-07 at 6.42.11 PM.png
And when you're talking about "The Service" you're talking about Rob and I. :-) - Brian Johns
I'm touched but I agree with Sparky: It's high time you started mentioning your other TiVo friends in that comment box, Louis. :) - Stephen Mack
Stephen, I figure I need one successful achievement before I move on to the others. After all, at that point, I'd be starting from scratch. :) - Louis Gray
There's also Scott Nyce to consider. He's about to be a newlywed. - Mary B, VALUE author
My condolences. ;) - Akiva
Woah. Wait. Brian Johns is also with Team TiVo? He has one of the greatest user icons in the history of great user icons of which I approve. - Akiva
Akiva: I am, and Thanks! :-) - Brian Johns
Sleep is a waste of time and unproductive... zzzzz....

Mo, they are not Android pajamas, but that's a good idea. - Louis Gray

LG has been busy (duh) but this is a great reminder that your words stay online, ready to be used at any time. - WoH: Minding her Steves

Yes he is! - Susan Beebe from Android
Crap. Gotta leave in 10 minutes then. - Louis Gray
Uh. - Derrick
Awesome! - AJ Batac \(o_o)/
Hello - E.richard
What is this? I don't even... did I get quoted when I am not there? Am I speaking somewhere and did not know? https://twitter.com/#!...
Screen Shot 2012-03-22 at 12.08.39 PM.png
Is Stephen Mack speaking somewhere and telling people he is me? - Louis Gray
They lifted it from your blog's wayback machine ;) http://blog.louisgray.com/2008... - Tinfoil 2.0
I am Louis Gray and I approve this message. - Stephen Mack from iPhone
Maybe they hired one of the growing army of Louis Gray impersonators to speak. - Brian Johns
Time travel. Future Gray has already said a bunch of sooprising stuff. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
I asked around. The deck is here: http://www.slideshare.net/meganab... (Slide 9) - Louis Gray
*recalls cyborg Louis Gray clone* - Mo Kargas
There's little more unnerving than having Google Music (or iTunes) on shuffle and running into an old episode of the FFundercats. Oh ... hello episode 42 of the FFundercats.
Kind of ruins the "in the groove" electronic music vibe I was looking for. - Louis Gray
Episode 42 did have a beat that you could dance to, though. - Stephen Mack
I've had the same experience during long walks/bike rides after I've downloaded Google Voice messages to my phone. Suddenly hearing my mother's voice reaching out through the fog of exercise-induced semi-catatonia is indeed unnerving. - jkram
I'M N UR BRAINZ...MAKN FURBLLZ - Josh Haley from FFHound(roid)!
Can't get Google Music - Johnny from iPhone
The Bitter Aussie, a new podcast, debuts this Fall! Which is really Spring! - Josh Haley from FFHound(roid)!
Who are your FriendFeed BFFs? #fftopten
Who are your FriendFeed BFFs? #fftopten
James Fuller , Stephen Mack , Monique , Liza is Further Proof , Rochelle , Derrick , Johnny , Cristo , Glen Campbell , Akiva , - Louis Gray
Just you, Louis. Just you. - Andy Bakun from Android
My #frederick md tweeps that's who... oh and my local SEO clients too - David Bruce
I'm the best! - Akiva
I'm the best! - Glen, on vacation
I'm the best! Oh, wait. :( - Kristin
I'm one of the ten best! - Stephen Mack from iPhone
Actually, I'm the best. - Monique
Who's #1? That's right, I am. :P - Jimminy, CoG of FF
You're only on there because you harass him, Jimminy. It's not the same as him VOLUNTARILY interacting with you. ;) - Monique
Fact. - Louis Gray
I'm strolling toward Glen! - Akiva
Jimminy doesn't just harass, he stalks and ignores facts. Telling somebody they are wrong on the internet doesn't make us BFFs. :) - Louis Gray
I've only told you you were wrong about about Turntable and Spotify. I didn't ignore the facts, you did, they aren't comparable services. :P - Jimminy, CoG of FF
Which is what I said in the first place. Don't waste my time here too. :) - Louis Gray
LOL Both are awesome. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
*makes notes who needs to be bumped off* - caj
I'm the best. Also for those who have asked me what FFTopTen was. This is what it looked like. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
The reason you never see photos of Akiva or Cristo is because they're the same person. There, I finally said it. I've been holding back that secret for a long time. Sorry, Akristo.
Well - Rodfather
Is this grounds for an Internet annulment? - joey
He's rich and married. I'm poor and divorced. We create balance in the universe. Om. - Akiva
Every time I see a smiley face on FriendFeed that says only one person liked something, I just assume it's Stephen Mack.
IT'S ME NOW! - Mellyboo
Damn. - Mellyboo
Oops there was a problem. - WoH: Minding her Steves
