I made it! Most influential British Twitter users revealed - Telegraph (UPDATE: wow - thanks so so much guys. Can't believe the love i have on here.) - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technol...
well done, Zee! Glad you're ahead of Peter Andre....:)
- WorldofHiglet
Hi, Zee ! je vais de ce pas jeter un coup d'oeil chez les Britons ;-)
- Desirade
zee - gifted followers = default list/suggested user list - when a media outlet reports on "x account has y followers" it's almost like there needs to be a notation that they were given the followers as a freebie.
- Allen Stern
Strange enough, the link to the PM's wife's Twitter page isn't direct; it's <http://go.telegraph.co.uk/...>...is this done to possibly track the number of clicks or something? All the other Twitter accounts listed are direct links
- Itachi
i thought that everyone has agreed to used "listed" as the new 'count that matters' -- there's more of a meaning to listing someone and there never was a suggested list... however... the more followers you have the more chances to be listed there are ( i guess )
- Chris Heath
Heh, nvm, seems it was a bug on my end. The link does take you to her Twitter page, but while I was mousing over the links I saw the go.telegraph.co.uk link and was a little perplexed why they had that there. It's gone now after a refresh
- Itachi
wow - thanks so so much guys. Can't believe the love i have on here.
- Zee.
Mazel tov, Zee! You're one of my tech favorites on here.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Big Congrats Zee ,, all your HArdwork is paying off

Now don't let it go to your head and start thinking that services need to bend the way they function to your will and don't start ripping services when they can't perform to insane, unrealistic, and just plane silly standards. "WTF GReader's interface starts breaking down and failing when ever I try to display 1 million individual RSS feeds on 15 inch screen at one time, this is entirely unusable!"
- Matthew DeVries
Seriously? Did you get a Droid too, Yo?
- Mona Nomura
No. I couldn't justify spending $550 on it. :(
- Yolanda
Is it AT&T or the iPhone that's making you switch to Droid?
- John Wang
from iPhone
Both - I was blown away by the snappy responsiveness of Droid and I really miss the push notifications displayed on top. Also, the little things make it fun i.e. the security connect the dots unlocking. The handset itself feels really good in my hand and I think the accelerometer on Droid is more accurate (?) responsive (?) than the iPhone. The keyboard doesn't feel as junky as people...
more...
- Mona Nomura
I messed around with my friend's Droid. Believe me, I do want one. I loved how much faster it seemed and the display was sharper. I just couldn't get one at the discounted rate and the regular price is just GAH!
- Yolanda
I played with a Droid on sunday and it rocked. I've always been super zealous about the iPhone but 2 years of dropped call and AT&T service has soured me big time. And then, having messed around on a Droid, realized what a quick responsive OS really feels like -- and the download / upload time was easily 10x better than iPhone.
- Marko Bon
I used the DROID exclusively for two weeks when reviewing it. It's a good phone, but it doesn't beat the iPhone in my book. I did say in my review that it's the first true iPhone competitor though, and IMO it's the second-best phone on the market.
- Andru Edwards
Marko - agree on all counts. Dru, I think it's a BB competitor - true business users can finally have a phone that is fun, too. The mail system on iPhones STINK. Android exchange implementation blows Apple's away.
- Mona Nomura
Care to share the original, Mona? Me likey.
- Mark Douglass
my brother-in-law, iPhone guy from day one, just took the side-by-side test in preparation to switch to the Droid, says that lack of multi-touch is a "bigger issue than expected" for him, can't zoom in on web pages. Also says that in comparison the browser is "laggy for swipe-scrolling." But says he loved the keyboard despite the bad press he read about it. ( @docbrody )

"This astonishing 18ft drawing of the world’s most famous skyline was created by autistic artist Stephen Wiltshire after he spent just 20 minutes in a helicopter gazing at the panorama. The unbelievably intricate picture was drawn at Brooklyn’s prestigious Pratt Institute from Stephen’s memory, with details of every building sketched in to scale. Landmarks including the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building can be seen towering above smaller buildings after just three days in his spellbinding creation."

That pic was taken yesterday under a rather high does of phenobarbital. I'm still in the hospital bed, waiting for the neurologist to go over my xrays, cat scans, and MRI with me. They're giving me Dilantin to keep future seizures at bay. I feel like I'm in a bad dream!
- Sarah Lane
I hope you can get home in time for some Mad Men.
- Jerry Perez
Our thoughts are with you, Sarah. Let us know if there's anything we FF'ers can do to help (even if it's just keeping you from being too bored waiting for doctors to see you)...
- Thomas
well see she is tweeting...and wow hot! get well and better take care of your friendfeed too ;)
- ffcode
My heart dropped when you twittered that!I've had them for 25 years.When your Tongue starts to heal drink milk it will help with the pain.My prayers are with you.
- Brian Campbell
Hugs and prayers -- hope you get better soon!
- Ladybug Heather
hope you feel better. never had a gran mal, but did have migraines. meditation, healthy diet, exercise, ease up on the alcohol, reduce stress, simplify life......basically healthy living allows your brain to smooth out the complications and function more simply. although if its a lesion, thats a slightly different matter. healthy living certainly cant hurt though. good luck, hope you feel better. we need us some TWIF after all the defraffin and the updatin of the kernal ;)
- echostreamer
Thanks, I already exchanged it once. It is just my headset, not the iPhone. My iPhone is still working :)
- Baard @ Pixum
Thanks, Flo. have a nice day you too :)
- Baard @ Pixum
Has happened to me several times on various products. Seems to me that manufacturers plan for this to happen
- Asgeir
The products from Apple are not very solid. They use a softer material for their cables and headsets that seems not to stand the normal muse.
- Baard @ Pixum
The previous due date was the 8th of December. The doctor today told us that he puts her as due on the 27th of November and it's going to be a girl! I'm so excited!!! =D
- David Cook
Can i ask, the Dr told you it was a girl from the above scan? In the UK, they arent allowed to tell you the sex anymore unless you ask for the 4D scan which costs!
- Giraffes Up In The AIr
The doc was very confident in the scan. He showed us the lack of boy parts and moved on. He said no one has ever come back and told him he was wrong.

from fftogo
Thank you everyone! =D Debbie is already planning the girly clothes and we're going through our name book tomorrow. We both agree that we want something pretty short. Nothing more than 2 syllables.
- David Cook
I thought that only happened in the movies. And this was at work!

Sorry to hear it, but then again one more reason to ride a bike to work then drive a car. But sorry to say there are stupid people who do stupid things, damn shame.
- Ray Marr aka Knatchwa

What's weird is I have a lock-cap on the tank, but it apparently didn't engage. I filled up completely yesterday morning ($80, 70L), then yesterday night I had 5L left. I checked for leaks - none. I took it to a mechanic this morning to see if the fuel sender was gone but it was fine and yes the tank was completely empty. I filled up again today.
- Mo Kargas
Cheeky thieving bugger! No thoughts except to park in a very public place if you can. It must take time to drain a tank. You'd think passers-by might notice! What about a notice inside the back window saying you have a CCTV trained on your car for security reasons ... you never know!
- Kate Foy
Kate - funny thing is I park next to a tram line. However the position I was in is obscured all around by bushes :/ Woops :(
- Mo Kargas
Well, Mo... You know what mom used to say: better to be pissed off than pissed on... And yes that does suck.
- MVB (Grinch of FF)
from iPod
That's crazy. Watch out that they don't put sugar in your tank, steal your hubcaps or throw rotten eggs at your car!
- Kevin Fox
Thats unlucky Mo my good man, let's hope the scumbag used the old school method and got a nice mouthful of fuel.....that he's still tasting

"I honestly find the price a little high when you consider that it is "just" the software. For about double the price you can buy a hardware model. However, I'd be willing to spend the money, especially after seeing the early positive reviews. I am waiting for some information from Navigon though. What about traffic info? What about radar warning? Future map updates? Missing features such as km/h, km to destination, estimated time at arrival / time left."
- Mark Douglass
"Couldn't agree more. The change itself I can live with, but not the way it was communicated. Twitter absolutely sucks at using their own product for community management / customer service. Nice post Drew."
- Mark Douglass
I liked it. Didn't love it but it was entertaining, current and thought-provoking. Once I saw who was behind it all, the movie sorta filled in the dots I knew where there.
