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.
And Jim, Ana, Casey, Sanjeev, and Dan!

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!

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."

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/+...
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

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.

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, 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.)

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
Don't be shy Joy. I'll even put my pants on

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.
[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

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
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.
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.

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
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.
