Would you guys love it/loathe it if Friendfeed did continue and actually become Facebook's R&D dept?

Neither love it or loathe it. Not a big difference any more...
- Evgeni Leshtanski
It would depend on what that means exactly.
- pea
@pea - say the Friendfeed literally became just a testing field for potential Facebook features
- Zee.
I think that if FriendFeed keeps going on its current course, it will be an important pillar in the social media ecosystem, especially if they keep providing us with search and push updates.
- Meryn Stol
Let's hope Facebook introduces something like Google's "20% time". I can't believe anyone wouldn't want to work on FF then. I mean, FB can't get anywhere close to FriendFeed's coolness.
- Meryn Stol
My guess is there are a hundred engineers in Facebook right now that think they can R&D with the best of them. Do you think they think they need a separate department?
- Todd Hoff
I'd be okay with that as long as my Facebook and Friendfeed accounts weren't merged. I don't want any of my FF content showing up on FB, I don't want anything on FB pointing to my FF account. As long as the two remain unlinked, I wouldn't care. It would just mean more features to play with and test. I like that.
- pea
I'd love it. Anything that keeps Friendfeed the way it is.
- Keith - @tsudo
So long as we don't get any of FB's features and FF is left alone then it's fine by me. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
It would be better for Facebook actually and leave FF a lone.
- Rob Cairns
That's a tough one.. depends on how much they are driven by users vs facebook!! If it was testing *just* what facebook wanted.. loathe. If it was iterating on what's already in place and NAILING IT.. love!! I don't have what I'm looking for yet..but I know the friendfeed team could do it.

Caleb- what kind of places do you like to go out at, at night? Do you like a quiet neighborhood, or don't mind a scene?
- anna sauce
You might want to try Russian Hill- I love it up there- and isn't J-TV there?
- anna sauce
There are some new exiting neighborhoods like Nopa and old standards like The Mission, but thre are some undeniably nice places to live, like Russian Hill/North Beach etc
- anna sauce
Been looking at SOMA, Nob Hill, and Pac Heights the most so far. I def want a bit of a neighborhood feel with good tie ins to the public transport.
- Caleb Elston
Check craigslist of course- and at the end of the day it really depends on how much you can spend. There are variables like- require parking, live near a park for running, live near north side/southside for commuting. Since you don't have to worry about commuting, It makes it easier. Another cool hood is lower nob hill.
- anna sauce
Yeah, what would say is a fair price for a nice apartment with a new kitchen and hardwood floors. No need for parking. Sub 2k? Trying to understand how much I should wait for the "perfect" place.
- Caleb Elston
Studio or shared housing?
- anna sauce
If you're in a hurry you can try a broker, though most people don't do that. The end of the month is a frenzied time, but if you are flexible with your schedule and can couch-surf in the city, it's a lot easier and will go faster.
- anna sauce
Congrats Caleb!

Thanks for all the tips on apartment hunting guys. It really is a pain in the ass. I decided to write a bit about the whole process and what I think would make it better. What do you think? http://bit.ly/Ka44C
- Caleb Elston
Instead of getting an apartment before actually living there, I am using http://AirBnB.com, looks like a great option to live with locals for a week or so and get to know different neighborhoods.

Robert, Streamy just doesn't do anything for me, and this was the second time in four months that I've given it a chance. Posterous on the other hand is really taking off, and I haven’t made any attempts to compare it with friendfeed. I’ve been using it a year and it’s found a place in my tool belt. It’s fundamentally different than friendfeed, but they share a certain type of beauty...

I'm not giving up on FF totally, but definitely not spending as much time here.

using it has helped me recognise that Facebook may just possibly go a small way towards replacing Friendfeed (just a small way...)

wow! this is too much from facebook in just 2 days.

Fuze (with AT&T), or G1 (with T-mobile)?
- Tim Hoeck
None of this,you should get an iPhone

I *was* waiting for the Motorola G1, but since I lost my phone, I'm going to falter and FINALLY get the 2nd Gen iPhone -ducks from flying tomatoes-
- Mona Nomura
I have the Touch Pro. I like it. I also love Google and own a Mac. Go figure.
- elroy
Whichever provider that has the better service in your area and the areas you frequent.
- ronin
G1 is clunky right now both on the h/w and s/w ends. If you don't need 3rd party app functionality, then go with the Fuze for now. You can always get a G1 when it stabilizes.
- vijay
well, I haven't gotten to use AT&T or Tmobile, I know people on both, and they both *seem* to be good coverage in the WPB area, and near my work as well.. my concern partly is with 3G speeds.. I am on Sprint now, and EVDO just seems faster than what I have seen from others. But I am ready to bite the bullet. I am more iffy with Tmobile, I do want Android, but I am not overly happy with the design of the G1. iPhone was not an option, because both my wife and I want a physical keyboard.
- Tim Hoeck
G1
- Bob Sonin
Tim, if you're with Spring right now and want to maintain some of those speeds, go with the G1. AT&T just isn't there yet.
- Admiral Anika
I'm really liking my G1.
- Shemp DeYoung
I'm going for an iPhone, and waiting for the G2? The G1 is very cool, but I'm not sold on the hardware, or the lack of apps (yet)
- Alistair (alpinefolk)
If anyone is thinking of buying an iPhone, hold out till MacWorld in Jan. There's definitely a new iPhone coming out then.
- vijay
What happens if you're wrong, Vijay?
- Mona Nomura
Disclaimer: I own a G1 and I would choose the G1 if I were you :P
- imabonehead
I won't be wrong, Mona, new iPhone in Jan for sure. There is however the possibility that the new iPhone model may not be your cup of tea, but it's just about a month away. It's not going to hurt to wait until then.
- vijay
It's most likely that the next iPhone will just be a size upgrade. But anyway, I'd wait until the next Android phone is announced before deciding on getting a G1.
- Rob Haas
i'm thinking there may be an update to the iphone as well, but not in the shape of a new phone altogether. possible that kmart/walmart or whatever deal for $99 people have been buzzing about. i was going to get a g1 without contract, but i'm definitely gonna hold out til early jan to see what's up.
- Cee Bee
ok, you iPhone freaks! :) Unless, the next iPhone will have a keyboard, I don't think I will be getting one. (I will say I have totally ruled it out though)
- Tim Hoeck
checked out (models) of both of these today.. I am a little worried about the screen hinges for both of them.. I know that I was trying models that a lot of people were messing with, but they seem very cheap. I'm still unsure, I checked out the LG Dare and Motorola Krave (both very nice, like the haptic touch). Also tried the Storm.. the touch of the screen seemed nice, but the response time seemed slow, laggy almost. I still would prefer a keyboard, but the wifey might go for one without :)
- Tim Hoeck
There is always the blackberry........classic and sound
