It's kinda bizarre seeing the 7 Stages of Grief play out in real-time before me ~ http://friendfeed.com/friendf...

1. SHOCK & DENIAL - You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the loss at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for weeks.
- CannonGod
2. PAIN & GUILT - As the shock wears off, it is replaced with the suffering of unbelievable pain. Although excruciating and almost unbearable, it is important that you experience the pain fully, and not hide it, avoid it or escape from it with alcohol or drugs. You may have guilty feelings or remorse over things you did or didn't do with your loved one. Life feels chaotic and scary during this phase.
- CannonGod
3. ANGER & BARGAINING - Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the death on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion. You may rail against fate, questioning "Why me?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out of your despair ("I will never drink again if you just bring him back")
- CannonGod
4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS - Just when your friends may think you should be getting on with your life, a long period of sad reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of grief, so do not be "talked out of it" by well-meaning outsiders. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of grieving. During this time, you finally realize the...

5. THE UPWARD TURN - As you start to adjust to life without your dear one, your life becomes a little calmer and more organized. Your physical symptoms lessen, and your "depression" begins to lift slightly.
- CannonGod
6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH - As you become more functional, your mind starts working again, and you will find yourself seeking realistic solutions to problems posed by life without your loved one. You will start to work on practical and financial problems and reconstructing yourself and your life without him or her.
- CannonGod
7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE - During this, the last of the seven stages in this grief model, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled YOU that existed before this tragedy. But you will find a way forward.
- CannonGod
The fun part about the Kubler-Ross stages of grief is that it isn't a linear progression, you can experience multiple stages all at once, and you can always go back to another stage even if you're already reached acceptance.

I still find it ironic that Chrome only builds and runs on x86 and ARM.
- Victor Ganata
Has Chrome come out for Linux yet? Because I've been waiting patiently.
- Miss Elle
They have developer builds out http://blog.chromium.org/2009... or you can build it from source http://code.google.com/p... I imagine the Linux build is still very buggy, if the Mac OS X build is any indication.

On of those articles you just love to read -- thanks for posting!

@Mats: np, glad you like

BTW, I don't necessarily agree with the premise of the article. MS has been successfully dealing with free competition for years. I'm also not a believer in one-size-fits-all solutions: the future doesn't necessarily belong SOLELY to the cloud, the browser, or FLOSS despite all Google's hollering. Plenty of businesses, such as engineering companies that use massive datasets/CAD/CAE files, are not suited to the cloud

I see there's tons of new people here on friendfeed participating. How do I know that? Because there are tons of white icons in comments. That means I am not following you yet. Just a month ago all I saw were blue icons. That's cool and welcome to all the newbies!

FriendFeed should offer something to people who join from Twitter. Perhaps a delicious pastry or a fetching t-shirt.
- Brett Kelly
Using FF more because I've figured out I can use Twitter for news ... and FriendFeed for actual conversation :)

Curt: bing!
- Robert Scoble
Curt: ooh, nice distinction.
- Tony
Robert, Bing is something entirely different altogether ;-) Welcome to all the new faces!
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Curt has got it on! I stick by my complaint that that it's not actual discussion, just comments. Discussion would entail threads, + better management when discussions get too overwhelming at 50 comments.
- Malcolm Bastien
So you run a hacked ff too?
- Matthew DeVries
Thanks for the welcome Robert. I've only been using FF for about a week and I love it. I find myself participating more, even just replying to tweets.
- Alex Hellstrom
welcome x
- David Lloyd
@malcolm how can you make that assertion with such limited participation here? i disagree with your comment...it is the "actual discussion". i think we may have successfully redefined the terminology.

anna: actually I'm not. Most people don't participate. I only subscribe to those who participate. And even of those I only follow a small number. For instance, I only follow those who speak English. There are tons on friendfeed who don't speak English.

First day on FriendFeed, glad to connect Robert.

Yeah I haven't been here in a while. Everything has changed. It isn't as small as it used to be (I was here right after it started).

I'm a newbie to Friendfeed as a result of the interview with Don Tapscott. Thanks!
- Brian Ostrovsky
Jake I'm with you. I left Friend feed for a very long time because there was nothing here. The times they have been a changing.
- Brent Smorgen Bleg
I'm still trying to figure out how to really make use of this other than just lurking.
- John Meagher
Friendfeed is for lurking
- Charbax
There is a video that Johhny Worthington made which might answer that question mark, on participating, if I can find it, John.
- Brent Smorgen Bleg
Yeah, but there's got to be more to it than *just* lurking
- John Meagher
Twitter's for lurking and blasting links, FF is for conversation and community engagement.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Brent: is this the video you meant? http://friendfeed.com/jworthi...

You start some interesting discussions here, I'll have to try & comment more.
- Steve de Mena
Thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to contributing to the conversation ;)
- art jones
Yes that is it John
- Brent Smorgen Bleg
I totally agree Mark....I do lurk on Twitter with an occasional tweet, but love the "conversations" on FF, and find that I have been participating more and more lately.
- Bonnie Foster
Sometimes it takes a while to catch on. Friendfeed is much more interactive than the others. If yo have interesting friends they post interesting stuff. No filtering necessary. The spammers do not get followed.
- Alan Morris
I am not really a FF newbie. I started with a private feed, shared with some friends some times ago. Then, Brome convinced me to turn my account into public. I then started to comment in english... And here I am!

I was asking to myself why there are blue and white icons on comments.. I have tons of whites though.

I never knew any blue comment, maybe I should follow more people and start commenting

Robert, perhaps it's also related to Friendfeed being picked up in Feedburner count?

FriendFeed rocks the house and i am totally happy with it!! Have to say: I luv it :)

FriendFeed does rock, but it is very much a geeks tool. My wife has gotten into twitter but no luck with friendfeed

What if Friendfeed was able to suggest content that lives outside of Friendfeed based on my gestures? for example, if it was able to aggregate all of my "likes" and sort them, it could then serve up webpages and content on the open wide web. FF has a lot of data, there's so many possibilities

Doesn't most content live outside friendfeed and it just sucks in a copy of the item + its metadata? The original data (mostly) lives out in the wild. I want a more visual way of slicing and dicing my river of data and who I choose to open it up to. You are on to something though Jeremiah. There's a revolutionary new business model sitting under the surface here and Facebook, Google, FF, and others are trying to figure out how to tap into it.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Twine does something similar. It recommends similar content based on the links I bookmark. The recommendations come as suggested Twines/friends. So not exactly what you have in mind but in a way close. But I agree with you, we need a"Pandora" for our reads...
- Antonella Stellacci
friendfeed doesn't suck in anything...it's all brought in by users. That's problem one...problem two is that computers just aren't very good at figuring out what a human might like. This is the Netflix problem (which they refer to as the Napoleon Dynamite problem). A developer who could figure this out would be better off writing that code for Netflix and getting their million dollar prize.
- Alex Scoble
I think if you had a big enough user base you could do some pretty interesting things in content recommendation.
- Cristo
Lot of data that's not open enough :(
- Yuvi
Good point Alex. It's the people and the connections between them, currently reflected in comments and likes that determine the *interestingness* of the data flowing through my river. Agree that there's currently no algorithm that can accurately capture/harness the dynamics of human nature and community interaction.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Quite a complex problem. APML exists but it's hard to precisely codify a person based on their stream.
- Mike Reynolds
Right Mike - APML + FOAF is a start, but that doesn't get us very far. We need something akin to a peer-based expert/rating system for people, their data, and their interactions across socnets.Something that is quite difficult to codify.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Hmmmm, some people have very very varied "Likes". How to categorize those would be beyond any coding I'm aware of.
- sofarsoShawn
Have a closer look at the FFeed API model - and understand the all comments in FriendFeed is essentially metadata (something that Twitter is not great at, apart from RTs). Through FFeed you can search and trackback contributors on any service they have added to their FFeed account. FFeed is a very smart, complex filter designer for the rest of the web.
- zeroinfluencer
Suggesting content would have already been done if it were that easy. However, to do it right essentially requires tremendous understanding that borders on true AI.
- Mike Reynolds
I think you guys are making this more complicated than it has to be to actually be useful.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Well, wouldn't you need to create a taxonomy of the items you liked and then match them to similar taxonomic items on the web? That's ... wicked tough. Apart from the fact that you could simply click on others who liked the same content, subscribe and let THEM bring you that content. Soylent Green is Filters. People fulfill this function better than a computer algorithm.

Listening to the Gillmor Gang live and find I'm agreeing with Mike Arrington.
