I can't believe how big they all are! (The kiddies, not the capital letters.) - LB: #TeamMonique
A combined age of almost 10 years! - Louis Gray
Wow, look at that font size. Not comic sans! They will be driving and applying for college before you know it. - Joe Boone from iPod
It might have been on some newish Google product, Google‡ or Google± or something like that. - Joe Boone from iPod
LOL all around! Wonderful pic, Louis; Happy Father's Day!! - Harold Cabezas from Android
Cristo, such an arrangement is approved. - Louis Gray
Cool photos, and most excellent comments! - Brian Johns
This is my new project: Google Developers Live, all year round http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/2012...
Grats, Louis! - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Also: Like father, like son? Braden is a fast learner... at his first A's game Saturday.

Congratulations Bret on achieving all you have with Google, FriendFeed and Facebook. Looking forward to the news of the next journey. We're all proud of you. http://allthingsd.com/2012061...
"He left the search giant to found FriendFeed, a once-popular social aggregator." ONCE POPULAR? :( :( :( - Rochelle
Makes you wonder even more what will happen to this place now that Paul and Bret are gone. - chrisofspades
Good point, Chris. - Rochelle
I hope Chris didn't point out the beginning of the end.... again. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
BURN THIS PLACE TO THE GROUND - Akiva
:( - ؛ patrick
What Rochelle said. And what Louis Gray said squared. - John Craft
Pretty interesting development. Curious to see what Bret does next. - Mark Krynsky
The startup I would like to see is a service where I can feed in all of my RSS feeds and things, and people can comment on them, and the most recent comment or like bumps it to the top. To make it marketable, maybe ads on the side of the page can be sold that matches the discussion that people are having. For example, a discussion like this would pull up adds for Google + and Facebook and Ground Coffee. Wait, that is like FriendFeed without the ads. - Joe Boone
LOL @Joe - Harold Cabezas from Android

Today, Braden and I ditched the twins and went to the park. With such undivided attention, he got quality swing time. This video makes me dizzy... http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Today, Matthew paid $8.99 on Google Play (formerly Android Market) for "10000 Drag Racing Respect Points". Apparently, you can buy respect.
Did you know he was doing it? - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
No. I knew he was playing the Drag Racing game I downloaded for him (and Braden) a few weeks ago. I think my CC# session was still live as I had downloaded a 99 cent app earlier. - Louis Gray
Always a possibility. - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

Fifteen Signs You're a Fitbit Fanatic
Ha! - Tamara J.
OK, so Louis wins -- because of this post, I broke down and bought a fitbit. Set it up today. I think the out-of-box experience needs work -- very confusing UI. But the product itself is neat. Adding Friends is awful -- the Facebook portion is just "spam all your friends via Facebook" and the e-mail portion is just "spam all your friends via e-mail." There's no way (that I could see) to discover which of your friends is already using it. But the device itself looks great and seems to work well. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Is there a fitbit room here on FF? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Congratulations Tudor! Facebook most highly recommends I poke you.

FACT: All that glop inside a Jack In the Box "taco" probably isn't food, but it's delicious. Even at 11:40 pm.
FACT: This post seems to be at odds with your blog post from earlier tonight... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Not really. I burned off a lot of calories from walking 21,000 steps. And I didn't get dinner because I fed the kids and then put Braden down. Somehow I missed it. So I was hungry. - Louis Gray
I mean more of the "healthy" vs. "unhealthy" dichotomy :) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Sarah separating the light from the shadows.

Our service is new. Get started. - Louis Gray from Bookmarklet
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
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 - seven eleven
Now go pay off your mom's mortgage. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
Yay! New servers for FriendFeed! Wait... - AJ Batac
Congratulations! Enjoy with them while they are young, for it will not last long they'll grow fast before you knew it. - Shirley Balderian
Yes.... Or at least they'll obsolesce as newer, faster processers emerge. Wait, what are we talking about? - Kevin Fox

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 #TeamMomo
I would like to title this "Ooops, there was a problem!" :) - SteVe 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 - seven eleven
Eric, I only find that uncomfortable because I can never remember how to pronounce "Buchheit." - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Steve. :) - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
Stephen, I think it's Boo! Hey!! - Eric - seven eleven
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? - Headless Gnad Kicker
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 Boone
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 #TeamMomo
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 - seven eleven
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

Nice. I guess my version is dead http://ajbatac.com/gplus-b... :( - AJ Batac

What survey is this? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo 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 #TeamMomo 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|ɯɐɹʞſ

Can you cite your evidence for that claim? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
But all that proves is that I liked your post faster than I liked his post. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
But how does liking a post prove how much I like or dislike a person? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
You cannot lie. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
"This" is pretty ambiguous, I think. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

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
