I believe that last night same poll had Palin ahead with something like 85%. Does this mean that over time, as it sinks in, her favor drops? - Marko Bon

Completely unscientific. Such amazing swings are normal with online polls. Note any Mac vs. PC web poll... whoever can sway the most amount of rabid poll trolls wins. Just my two cents. - Glenn Batuyong

Groups "crash" these polls all the time. It doesn't mean much. - Katy Southern

Those liberal bastards at Fox are so biased - Dave Hodson

According to their pundits all last night and this morning, Palin won 85% to 12%...I guess they don't update their facts from the website! hahaha SHOCKING! (Yes, I did watch Fox "news" last night for hours...just to see how they would spin everything...and let me tell ya...Im still f*ckin dizzy!) - Amber Horner

That was the sms poll -- self selected people watching fox text in your vote for who won. Not exactly what I'd call a fair poll. - Michael Leggett

Henry Kissinger's arguments are not always internally consistent, and he's ALWAYS played politics with foreign policy - Jason Carreira

And Kissingers trip to Red China was pretty much talking to rogue regimes of the day without preconditions. - Sudhakar Chandra

Verdi Club? - Michael Leggett

Hmm, those ugly chandeliers (if you can call them that) look like something you'd see at Stanford, but I'm thinking you're not there. - j1m

Wedding! - Charlie Anzman

Whenever I see these "where am I" posts by Paul I am provoked to imagine an AI system which can identify the components and elements of any photograph or image in the world -- who, where, what, when -- perhaps even why. Integrate it with an AI system which can identify any voice or sound in the world. Technologies that are within our grasp. - Sean McBride

A _Shellac_ concert? - JONES Matthew

To the one true G-d above, here is my prayer... - Akiva Moskovitz

Music 3.0:) - Igor Poltavskiy

That looks like Stanford. - Mona N.

In the 6th row. - Bruce Lewis

And boy howdy, did she nail that whole "Fargo" accent ... - Steven "The One" Perez

Yeah she was made for the part. Completely nailed it. - Dave Hussein Winer

Fun that this is how I watch TV now, on Friendfeed. I don't have TV at home, so I just let Dave find the good stuff. : ) - Chris Brogan

Classic - James Tenniswood

She did do a brilliant job. - Zee from WeDoCreative

Not clear whether the appropriate response is to laugh or cry ... - Tom Stocky

Depends where they go with it. - Dave Hussein Winer

Wow she totally nailed it - Britney Mason

Best line: "I can see Russia from my house!" - Shelly Brisbin via twhirl

On hulu: http://www.hulu.com/watch/3446... - Michael Leggett

PS 2.5 is when everything changed. I mean 'layers'? Whatnow? - Kevin Fox

Actually, layers came in 3.0. 2.5's big feature (for me) was previews for filters. - Mihai Parparita

My mom has had photoshop, and just about every six months I get a phone call, "Hey, how do you make a new layer?" - Dustin

a bigger version can be found here: http://dezignus.com/photoshop-... - Alan Le

Mihai: You're right. I got confused with Quick Masks, which came out in 2.5 (or 2.5.1? 2.5 was so short-lived!) and similarly rocked my Photoshop world. - Kevin Fox

I ♥ it! :) When? When? When?? - AJ Batac ♘

Likey. - Jonathon

Whoa. - Mark Trapp

Sawheet! "lists" means I can go back to using a single account now, phew! - Jason Wehmhoener

Wow! Neat. - Atul Arora

It's very nice! All the superlatives have already been used :) - Rebkin

The the new list feature is heck cool... just created test. Wondering how we can share list now :)- - Peter Dawson

A link to cancel a comment with no hack! YAY!!!! - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Mona, poster names are still links they're just styled differently so they don't look like the other links. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

beta.friendfeed is my new friend !! lots of new stuff to play with.. 8-10hrs lag with list data ..but a very very powerful feature. !! Way to GO TEAM FF !! - Peter Dawson

Love it. If this does not go mainstream, I don't know what will. - Vinay | विनय

Coming up next: gamma.friendfeed.com - Jim Norris

I /love/ this! So much shinier. - eve shot first

I still want more of a customizable dashboard view, tho. (kudos on the changes, tho...they ARE nice, and I do appreciate them. :)) - abacab

Thank you for the lists. - Paul Arterburn

Good job guys. I am disappointed you used Peter Astley, and not Rick Astley. Lost opportunity. - Louis Gray

looking great :) - sergiooo

My favorite is how the blog has like 2 comments, and Brett's link to it has almost 30 comments. - Dustin

Yummy* Friendfeeding just got better. - Jonathan (Bad Robot)

This could be very good... but where 's the Rick Roll? - Bill Sodeman

OK: That's a long enough beta period. Let's do it live! - Chris Baskind

I want to start a pool -- (a) first blog to hit techmeme with an article on the re-design, (b) blog with most articles about the re-design (within 2 days starting now) - Wayne Schulz

LOVE IT! - Kyle Lacy

Why not position:fixed the right nav? Like this: http://limpid.nl/lab/css/fixed... - Michael Leggett

The share button no longer appears in my feed. This is counterintuitive. Otherwise, it's been a great experience so far. - Michael Nielsen

Where's the "me" tab? Everything else I LOVE! - Jennifer Van Grove

Michael: if you're viewing your feed from the main address, there is a 'sharing' box up at the top, and the options (comment, photo, link) appear once you begin typing. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

click on your name Jennifer, above right - Tibor Holoda

@Jennifer "My Feed" in the sidebar replaces the "me" tab. And like Tibor said, your name works too. - Dan Hsiao

you launch this right after takeoff from scoble to berlin - coinkydink? :) - Allen Stern

@Stupid Blogger: Thanks, I'd figured that out, was just pointing out what seems like a bug in the current UI. - Michael Nielsen

Looks nice on first glance, and it seems easier now to reach rooms. The friend lists should be a great way to organize my imaginary friends which are basically topic subscriptions. The "Add/ Remove friends" link is confusing at first because when you don't have any friends in the list yet, clicking it will result in nothing (making you wonder if it's broken). The message sharing post form is also confusing because you don't quite know what to enter into it; a link, or a message, or...? The fact that it says "Share a link, message, or photos" doesn't really help. Also wasn't sure how to remove a friend from the home feed after moving them to a special list feed. Took me some seconds to find the Delete List icon, because I was looking near the "Add/ remove friends" link navigation. Wasn't sure if I like you created so many default friend lists for me (personal, favorites, professional), though I guess it may be useful to get the point across. I think I'm liking how names aren't underlined, though not so sure a - Philipp Lenssen

Try Friend recommendations. - Chris Baskind

I love the new info bubble. Super better than the old one :) - AJ Batac ♘

Looks like the logo now clicks to the Friends view, as you'd expect. Same as You + Friends. - Chris Baskind

can't seem to access the beta site: Service Unavailable We encountered an error on your last request. Our service is new, and we are just working out the kinks. We apologize for the inconvenience. - Thomas Hawk

Awesomeness, very useful, and solves the biggest problem of noise reduction! great! - Aditya Kothadiya

awesome! Working now. Anyone know if there is a pagerization greasemonkey script yet for the beta site? - Thomas Hawk

One word: wonderful. - Brandon Titus

thanks for the iteration.. it's a great step forward - Travis Parsons

like the new functions, but not the new layout, it just doesn't look like friendfeed and a bit feel like google groups (caused by the side bar maybe). miss the old layout... - Baron Mok

It is kind of cool! - Steve

great design!! - ricardo valle

on minor thing: on the main page, Post button and "Show best of: day - week" overlaps if you narrow the browser window. - Dennis Seah

Fantastic! - Mo J.

We need a "remove from home feed" button under the friends settings. Or there must be an option that we can choose the list which shows on main page. For example, i want to see only "Professional" friends' feeds on the main page. - Selim Yoruk

Cool new FF! - Igor Poltavskiy

Time stamps for comments? :( - Marcos Messer

Threaded comments??? - Jigar Mehta

So many small details and improvements, make SO much difference. - Martin Añazco

At last, I will be able to add to my feed all the people who subscribe to me, and it won't impact on my main source of infobrainment. It looks nice, too. Looks like you guys have pulled another one out of the bag. +1 - Slippy Lane

looking good friendfeed crew! - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Funny that they turned it on when I was flying to Europe. Looks awesome! - Robert Scoble

that is so frickin' sweet! - Jeremiah Palmer

I'm truly amazed at how good the UI is. The subtle touches like the use of blue links in just the right places or the contextual help like "How does hiding work?". Really great job. I think mioNews just became a little less useful to me, since FF now natively has friend groups. Oh well :P - Patrick Lightbody

please have an option to set font size! - h1ro

It has a great feature in allowing me to separate different people into different lists - that will be worth the whole interface change in itself. I hope that rooms also have embeddable feeds tho! - Justin Long

FF is in a frenzy. This is 16 hrs old and 3rd on my Best of the Week. Congratulations Bret and team. - Russellreno

@Marcos: you can hover your mouse over the comment bubble in front of a comment to get its timestamp. - Dan Hsiao
