News: In case of switch-over, Johnny Worthington and I are going to move in together to a remote mountain range, where we will recreate FriendFeed with pads of paper and pen.
I am finally gonna get those 'Like' moo stickers printed and just walk around 'Liking' random stuff.

Johnny, I love that. Much like during the initial years of my Sims addiction I measured my life by green bars, I constantly want to like things that I see.

Joey... I'll dig the artwork out tonight and post it here... I also have a Hide one :)

Hahahaha I'd be out of control with the 'hide' stickers.
- joey
Nowhere would be remote enough...feral FFers would track you down and then you'd be forced to split them into groups. I mean rooms. No, groups. Er...whatever.
- WorldofHiglet
Akiva, we will write you. The hardest part will be finding a way to send you a DM without Johnny seeing.
- Louis Gray
WoH. using my pieces of paper I would create lists for everyone that showed up. Then, each list would be assigned a certain stick and all those on that list would only be allowed to talk to me once I was holding that stick. If you say something offensive, the stick would then be turned into the block tool at great swiftness. I would draw pictures of my daughter on the walls of a nearby cave nicknames CaveR. I would then scribble small thumbnail versions of the pictures that I nail on the wall with directions to my cave. Then, for no reason, we will all put on the same type of hat and piss off the people who either don't understand it, think it's lame or has a list stick shoved up their ass... FeralFeed...
- Johnny Worthington
The problem is, we only have room for 1 Scoble... We will either let you guys pick between Robert and Alex or we will cover them both with honey and the first one not to get eaten by a bear gets in... (My money's on Alex, Robert would be to busy tweeting on his iRock)
- Johnny Worthington
if Robert was on his iPhone, chances are that Alex would be reconfiguring the rocks in the caves to give optimal stereo for his conch recitals
- WorldofHiglet
I'm thinking for DMs we scrunch up bits of paper and throw them at each other. Either that or we... you know... actually talk to each other...
- Johnny Worthington
I know... a bit to radical. Maybe we save that for the 3.0 Beta UI
- Johnny Worthington
Yeah, actually vocal communication might be taking things a bit far. Perhaps some semi-coherent grunts? You know, like listening to FFundercats?
- WorldofHiglet
And finally, we would allow Twitter imports... We would throw open the windows and let the little blue bird's song drift into the cabin... Then we would hunt them for food with blow darts...
- Johnny Worthington
That would be great - every FailWhale would feed us for weeks!
- WorldofHiglet
erm...what happens to Josh....? Or are you assuming the FailWhales won't appear in the beginning...?
- WorldofHiglet
this thread has everything required to make an EPIC video like that Hitler FF downfall vid :D
- vijay
Excellent, vijay, I expect to see it when I awake in a few hours! :) Not that I'm going to sleep. Obviously. Because when you sleep, Louis creeps through your threads and swallows up all your posts and likes and comments, absorbing, learning, *feeding* - the very epitome of friendFEED. I fear for Johhny.....
- WorldofHiglet
I was avoiding your feed specifically, little Higgles.
- Louis Gray
Most people do, Louis! ;) (and I've never been called Higgles before - that's a new one! Though I know you know that, because you would. With the feed eating and all. Happy nomming)
- WorldofHiglet
There's only one flaw in this plan ... Actually, no, I double checked, it's 100% sound - pure gold. VC funding will arrive in the morning wrapped around a stone with will be hurled in through the cabin window. Godspeed.
- Micah Wittman
I think you are going to need to be somewhere that can accept large mail drops as the comments start flowing in to your new system.
- Travis Koger
What if FriendFeed was done entirely in a Second Life/Sims World and to comment and post you would have virtual verbal conversations. I can only think about the crowd of 50,000ish followers that would be walking around Robert Scoble and then interacting with the other FF big names. The funny thing is that actually we would all need to be on the same island so we could all talk together. Of course then it would be overrun by DEA and FBI trying to take down the cult.
- Travis Koger
FriendFeed in Second Life? Wouldn't it be quickly overwhelmed by flying genitalia, then?
- DGentry
DGentry... isn't it already... no.. wait. Sorry I am talking about something else. =P Oh also you forgot the phrase 'overly large' in your genitalia reference!
- Travis Koger
call it what you want. it won't matter. you'll be wrongly identified and targeted as Taliban supporters. The last thing you will hear is a high pitched screeching sound. Then *poof* - you are gone. 250 miles away, the crew of a US Battleship will mark the mission as a success. Then they will secure and store their new BAE Systems 32 Megajoule Electromagnetic Rail Gun (32-MJ LRG) because 'officially', it doesn't exist. My suggestion: Don't go to the mountains.
