It's a fun experiment to smile at everyone you see for a day. Most will smile back. ^_^

I feel this way too, I love those little things that happen each day (if you are aware enough and open to it) that help (in a small way) to "re-establish" my faith in humanity.
- Nicholas Kreidberg
Heather, I think it depends on where you live... or maybe who you are. Most people don't smile back here, at least to me. :( Doesn't stop me from doing it, though. :) :)

I did it when I was at UMass Amherst, mostly on the way back from breakfast. I was surprised so many people would smile in the am, most pre-coffee!

"In late April, an outbreak of a new strain of H1N1 Influenza, commonly called "swine flu", was detected in Mexico City. The initial spread of the virus appeared to be rapid - that, coupled with several deaths of young, otherwise healthy flu victims raised global awareness and initial alarm. As of today, Mexico has confirmed over 800 infections and 42 deaths resulting from H1N1 - 22 countries worldwide now have reported 1,516 cases of influenza A (H1N1). Recent reports have been more restrained, however, with no apparent evience of a pandemic, milder-than-expected flu symptoms, and a rate of infection only slightly higher than a normal seasonal flu. Collected here are photographs of people in Mexico and around the world dealing with H1N1 or or preparing for possible encounters."

Are 'imaginary friends' totally dead in the new FF, or is setting them up just less intuitive? I'm still seeing updates from ones I set up previously, but can't figure out how to set up a new one.

Imaginary friends, huh...sounds interesting...
- Sid
They're essentially dead. Now, you create a feed/group and just import the appropriate content from elsewhere on the web. Makes sense really, when you consider that groups and people are essentially the same thing (i.e. your 'feed' is just a group where everyone can comment but only you can post) and use the same URL structure.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Indeed!
- Sid
Cool, thanks!
- mark
My imaginary friends from the old UI do not appear on the search dropdown list when I type their username in the top search box to try and find them.

Unsupported feeds shouldn't be called blogs. That's a baseless assumption which is often untrue.
Maхx Tee, Steven Perez, Hassan Ibraheem and 33 other people liked this
Agreed.
- Kevin Fox
And actual blogs should be separated from other unsupported feeds (and each other, for granular control).
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
just call them feeds and give us an option to choose the icon for them ;)
- Christian Van Der Henst
I'm thinking "feeds" too. And why not import the site's favicon?
- Tanath
+1
- Peter Hoffmann
agreed
- Dave Winer
Why do we have to specify the service that the feed belongs? FF should recognise the service automatically. Also I agree that actual blog feeds should be separated from unsupported ones and something has to be done about the icons.
- endiaferon
Agree!
- AJ Batac
Ideally FriendFeed should have an XML namespace with an element that specifies the verb, noun and service to use on the feed.
- Bruce Lewis
Bruce, I think that'd be overkill.
- Carlo Zottmann
@Carlo It only sounds like overkill. I doubt it would be much to design and implement on FF's side of things.
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
I like Bruce's idea in principle, but in practice it would be difficult for non-power users to implement. Most of us let tools generate feeds for us, and most tools don't support adding to/modifying the XML template. Like Blogger (which FAILs).
- Voyagerfan5761
News flash: See the FriendFeed blog re. custom RSS feeds. Voyagerfan: Tools will get better when they get jealous.
- Bruce Lewis
Shouldn't it just stay true to FriendFeed's name and call it a "Feed"?
- Tyson Key
FYI: There are now separate 'Blog' and 'Custom RSS/Atom' types.
- xero
@xero - Cool, I didn't know about them until you mentioned
- Tyson Key
In a perfect world there should just be feeds and the configuration system for a product like FriendFeed should just say: Enter the address of the feed here.
- Dave Winer
When FF says they added support for 22 products my heart sinks. The whole point of RSS was that compatibility not be expressed that way. That's how ecosystems die.
- Dave Winer
@Dave - In a perfect world, everybody would be a geek and know exactly how things work
- Aditya Mukherjee
Seems to sort-of solve my GitHub problem, but having links to the activities on GitHub would be useful (it seems like a binary "unlinked text or nothing).
- Tyson Key
It's like Mozilla saying they just added support for MTV's website.
- Dave Winer
Having played with it, it'll import the feed and add links, but only to the GitHub homepage and not to feed items. I can live with that, though.
- Tyson Key
@Dave - Not all of the services are RSS feeds. Plus, it just helps with usability. If anyone knows that not everyone knows what RSS feeds are then it should be you. ;)
- xero
Anyone else noticed that a few new services (mostly Japanese, as well as LiveJournal and a few news/Misc. sites) have been added? No more Pownce, too.
- Tyson Key
xero, I get that, but some of them are barriers to entry.
- Dave Winer
It would be nice if all content providers and aggregators offered both an RSS and XMPP link to content. RSS for archival or more static use and XMPP for real-time synchronization between all nodes. RSS feeds to me are not conducive to real-time updates. The problem I have with FriendFeed for example is these RSS update floods that come in waves. I would like to get this content as soon as it is produced. Then you get into polling, which is only one side. When a service updates a feed is another.
- Rolf Schewe
If someone put up a very very simple REST interface to push an update out through XMPP, I would: 1. Implement it in Scripting News and 2. Promote it to other developers. In other words, I'm willing to do what I can to make it happen. But someone has to step up first and provide that ultra-simple brain-dead easy API.
- Dave Winer
I wish we could "Like" comments. To me, Dave's last comment on XMPP should be linkable or be able to be expanded upon. At least a star system such as Google's would be good.
- Rolf Schewe
Your wish is my command.. http://bit.ly/O68W
- Dave Winer
I just "wish" that was a feature in FriendFeed and you wouldn't have to do that. But thanks. It's an important issue that should not get lost in a comment thread.
- Rolf Schewe
Now fixed, as of yesterday's Bug Friday update.
- Phil G
Rolf, have you looked at FriendFeed's SUP proposal? It's still polling, but much more efficient.

Longterm thinking here... it'd be nice if you could authorize FF to various services (oAuth) and then query each social networks individual "friends" and import them. It's a tiresome process that should be more automated than it is now.
