Hush, Andrew. We're supposed to get "wintry precipitation" later this week.

It's just behind that clump of trees on the right, Kamath.
- cecily
LOL, that's a great picture. However we have separate overpasses for wildlife through that area, so they shouldn't be using the roads. Have to report them.
- Kenton
Are they on the road? I thought they were on a special bridge just for wildlife to keep them from getting hit by traffic.
- cecily
We do have them, but that isn't one of them. Those are either on the road or the railway tracks. The animal only ones are basically tunnels for traffic with soil, trees etc built over top for the animals to travel.
- Kenton
They're lawless. Blatantly ignoring the signs and walking where they damned well please. Renegades, I tell you.

That is hilarious, Canada is really awesome though and is a lot more than just an overpass of moose :)

i second micha's <3ing of lake louise. but the moose (or are those caribou) on the highway? that's dos muchos. sort of related: went to kananaskis once. we passed a herd of mountain goats on the way in. that was the coolest sh*t ever.

The first time I saw a mountain goat I was driving up the Coquihalla highway in BC, and nearly lost my everlovin' mind. I had to pull over and gawk. http://images.drivebc.ca/bchighw...

Those are actually Elk.

And Cecily, I'd still stop and pull over when I saw wildlife if I could.

I don't see much wildlife in Vancouver, unless you count raccoons and skunks. I keep going when I see them. I'm a little afraid of raccoons.

Very cool! What kind of LED lights are you using? We have old rope lighting that we are planning to change out for color changing LED rope lighting in in several rooms, but we have a bunch or research before we begin that project. Any tips from your experience?
- Rachel Lea Fox
Also, are the color changes tied to any data or just rotating on a cycle?
- Kevin Fox
We're using Color Kinetics: http://www.colorkinetics.com/. Beti actually ordered these, and I haven't investigated them deeply. There are two types of controls, one which is a dial on the wall that changes color, modes, and frequency of change. The other is an ethernet/RS-232 solution. We don't have the advanced one right now, but we may upgrade to it sometime after I look into it. I'm not sure how much work needs to be done to time the lights to something like Sonos.

LOL! I bet the top of the unit is warm. Kittehs love heaters.

Yup, and there's only a little clearance between the top of the DVR and the TV stand top shelf, so the heat is captured a bit. Upside: extra warm kitteh. Downside: she'll soon be too big a kitteh to fit. (She's 4 months old...)

- Rachel Lea Fox
OMG only 4 months?!? She looks big already!

It's been so long since I've had a kitten that I don't have a sense of how big she might be for her age. She's long when stretched out, but she's very light and sleek. And OMG, SOOO soft!
- Bash
Oh she totally looks like she is the right size. It is just so odd and fun to actually see them grow up. I usually only see them so small. I've only gotten to see a handful get bigger!! And that little Moxie was always the softest of the bunch. One of the softest of all the kittens we have had. The only one that ties with her that I know of would be Milo!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Umlaut also has super short and soft fur- I've never had a short-hair cat, and it's so nice and ... soft.
- anna sauce
It's been ages since I have had a short haired cat - Moxie is mainly short haired, but she has a hint of a ruff and a little plume to her tail fur. It's fascinating how much of their musculature is revealed when their fur is shorter and sleeker...amazing creatures! It's great for cleaning, too - she doesn't leave tufts lying around, so now it's just Sebastian's fur tumbleweeds I'm chasing. :)

I'm sorry to be so delinquent in photos- but Umlaut moves around *so much*. She is a spry little sphinx.

So when I add the second TiVo and another Apple TV (for Boxee), I'll be out of sources! No room for Vudu or Roku. :(
- Cristo
Hrm, I thought the Wii communicates from the remote to the system and the bar is just for triangulation. Do the remotes have enough range to cover your whole house? Likewise, what about Xbox controllers? Also how are you getting around the annoyance of switching disks when the player/system is tucked away in a cabinet?
- Benjamin Golub
Benjamin, the house isn't that big (~1700sqft). Most of it is open or partially open, and the media closet is in the center. I've had no problems yet with either Xbox or Wii controllers. As for switching disks, I have not gotten around that problem, and if I do, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to talk about it online. ;)

So if you have two screens within wiimote range and you get another ir bar, you could have two people playing multiplayer on different screens in different rooms! Cool!

The momentum behind the iPhone is the key. There's so many people behind the iPhone now, better technology can't affect it (and Apple does a good job of keeping the product competitive). Android would be wise to provide a simple solution for porting of iPhone apps. They need the apps.

I am beginning to finally get it... If you post on Friendfeed you get comments... If you post on Twitter, you get followers. If you are marketing something (e.g. your blog/brand, your product/service) getting followers is much better than getting comments.

- Cristo
Getting followers doesn't really mean anything: 390 of the 400 followers I have on Twitter never act or do anything with what I say on it. Getting them to convert is the meaningful part of the marketing proposition, and conversations, I've found, are far more effective at that.
- Mark Trapp
Mark is right.
- Robert Scoble
So, what's the FAQ for interaction on Twitter? I had a post that got 100+ comments the other day here on Friendfeed but no response on Twitter. I must be doing something wrong over there.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
twitter seems to be great for people who are lazy and not really savvy about marketing. it's sort of like shouting into the void, and you might get a few people to respond, but do you really get people to act?
- Bren, Not Grinchy
@Mark, I agree with you.. However to a lot of people having a follower number like 10K/20K, which seems like a relatively easily thing to do on Twitter, is not only just a high but it is also a good way to keep in touch with your audience without spending too much time... Here keeping in touch with your audience is way more time consuming
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu, but keeping in touch doesn't mean anything if they're not listening. You can have a million followers, but if you're not getting any of them to act on what you're saying, it doesn't mean much. Getting conversations going with people, who may or may not be followers, which Twitter is pretty bad at, are more effective at getting people to convert. I just had a relatively popular...

Bindu, I'm following you (FF) and I just commented too :)
- Micah Wittman
@Mark, Curious how did you get them to go to your website?
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu, if I knew that I'd have it made. Near as I can tell, people were doing Twitter and Google searches for "twitter list," and then started retweeting it and sharing it from there.
- Mark Trapp
Following is such a low-risk endeavor that people don't put thought into it: they'll follow anyone and everyone. You even have people thinking it's common decency to automatically follow people if they follow you without even thinking about if their content is interesting. Following is the 21st century equivalent of receiving a phone book or the yellow pages: you do it just in case you need to contact or get ahold of someone in the future, but nobody ever realistically does.
- Mark Trapp
Yep, it's like collecting business cards that get neatly filed into a big binder. It's about the self-satisfaction of the collection - you feel more connected / networked / important and avoid doing the hard work of cold calling or meeting with people and building something or whatever.
- Micah Wittman
I agree with following being a low-risk effort... However I have also heard of ppl gaining value from Twitter without much effort. Take for example this coffeshop I am a big fan of - sightglass coffee. They get a lot of customers from Twitter. It takes them relatively little time to tweet and they get customers. It would be very hard to achieve the same on FF.
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu, I get lots of conversation on Twitter, too. One of the reasons I am there more than here is because people with common interest in my political obsessions are there, but not here.
- Karoli
Karoli - Yes, the Twitterverse is way more diverse than the FFverse. Curious do you get more comments/conversations per post on Twitter as compared to FF or is it that you you post more stuff because time spent per post is lower on Twitter
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu, I get very little response to political conversations/comments on FF - a couple of folks follow here but a very small percentage compared to twitter. I tried to pull people over here, but they didn't understand why they should leave tweetdeck and their twitter setup for new territory.

Geeks (+ early adopters, influential folks, the elite ...) are on FriendFeed and the proletariat on Twitter? Long live the dictatorship of the proletariat? Calls for action work best when the audience actually cares, so prolly that's all about choosing the right medium for the targeted punters?
- Sebastian
Sebastian... yes agree the geeks and tech bloggers are on FF... However if you are marketing say a fashion or beauty blog. You won't get much interest here. twitter is the place for you :)
- Bindu Reddy
I disagree with that statement, Bindu. There's a LOT of non-tech getting traction on FriendFeed. So much so that it's the number one reason Scoble no longer enjoys being here: he says he doesn't see enough tech for his liking.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Just butting in here to mention that there are tons of uses for both twitter and friendfeed that have nothing whatsoever to do with marketing. In fact, once could make the argument that social networks such as these were designed to get away from marketing. Unlike radio, TV, or even a web search, you choose who you'll be receiving information from. If you're looking to exchange...

Bindu, what I'm sick of is marketers broadcasting their sales pitches to all social media outlets out there, regardless whether the audience might fit or not. Anyways, i'ts possible to attract a few somewhat intelligent responses to geeky topics at Twitter, at least when xmas and independence day share the same date. Most probably I wouldn't try to sell wonder bras at FF, though.
- Sebastian
@Tina ... umm I have not been an avid user of FF lately so maybe it has become pretty diverse. Are you saying there are a lot of people on here with specific interests such as politics, beauty etc?
- Bindu Reddy
Sebastian - LOL.. agree :)
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu: Ning is a better place to go if you have very specific topics you want to talk about. They are growing a FriendFeed every 12 days (they are getting a million new users that often and have just passed 38 million registered). FriendFeed is fun if you aren't sure what you want to chat about and you're cool with seeing lots of family pictures and goofy stuff. Tina is right that the hard-core geeks are mostly on Twitter or Facebook now, I keep watching here, though.
- Robert Scoble
Karoli I get all kinds of action here on political topics. I have more followers on Twitter but rarely get a response there. Here I got 80+ comments yesterday.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
from iPod
MVB, Karoli is a prolific voice on twitter. Twitter seems quite effective for political advocacy/activism even though longer form convos have to break out somewhere else. Also, just like friendfeed, volume / steady presence can make all the difference. Your tweet count is ~2K; Karoli's over 63K.
- Micah Wittman
My presence here is similar to Kaoli's on Twitter, then. So, presence is a mitigating factor. But, Micah, as you so deftly point out, for a long conversation there needs to be a move to another venue. That's where here works better, since it can stay right here.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

We agree, and can agreed at length right here, folks :)

So link your twitter to your friendfeed. Get followers and comments. The best of both worlds.
- Hareesh Nagarajan
Does it make any difference here whether the original post was to Twitter and reposted here automatically or the original post was directly here? In other words, does the FF community prefer to comment on direct posts rather than Twitter reposts?
- Jimmy Walker
Jimmy: it honestly depends on who you interact with on FriendFeed. There are people who get irate about people only posting to Twitter and openly advocate using FriendFeed directly, and yet, there are interesting people who always get a conversation going around their tweets. One thing that sometimes helps is coming back to FriendFeed and elaborating on your tweet, or to do more than...

- Johnny Worthington
Bindu: As you had said earlier, most of the followers at twitter don't read what you are tweeting. So it is actually better to get comments as you know those who comment read whatever you post.
- Amit
Amit, I completely agree with you about the comments and how no one reads your tweets. As an example I posted a tweet about "anchors" On FF there are 7 likes and 14 comments.. None on twitter. However at the end of the day for every 20 new followers I get 1-2 new friends. On FF much less of that happens. So from a marketing point of view Twitter is better.
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu, how many people are subbed to you on FF and on Twitter? What are the total number of subs to each? What is the ratio of your subs to the total subs of each? I bet a crisp dollar bill that you are subbed to a higher percentage of subs on FF than on Twitter.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
from fftogo
MVB interesting point of subs. # of subs on Twitter and FF are about the same but the quality of subs is much better on FF. As far as ration goes... yes FF is much better than Twitter and that does have an impact. However I am going to contend that even for people who have many more subs on Twitter (e.g. scoble?) there is much more engagement on FF than twitter. he probably adds more followers though on twitter
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu, exactly. Unlike you, I, and most others, are not here to market a product or service so we see a different function of Social Media.

This is a good plan. It saves the expense of foreclosure and avoids the owner/tenant filing for bankruptcy to buy more time. More time is good for Fannie Mae if they own the house because they are more likely to get a better price for the house next year. Also, the owner/tenant many be able to repurchase the home next year.

@AJ Kohn Well the home owners are not starting wars out there and they are not subsidizing banks who are using the money both on and off shore. If I were to make a sounder investment with an immediate return, IE money going right back to the Gov, homeowners would make that happen. Banks are paying all sorts of high fees for go-between people and their presidents and high officers. Little of the money is applied to the problem. Just an opinion Sic.

@ThatDBD: Oh, I'm not saying the banks deserve the money. I'm anti-bailout in general. I'd rather concentrate on getting our money out of Iraq (though Afghanistan is still necessary IMO) and putting money to work for jobs, education and health care. Personal and corporate responsibility means you have to learn from your mistakes. Giving banks or over-extended homeowners a mulligan doesn't lead to responsibility which - IMO - is what this nation needs to get back to.

So now Obama wants to take over the housing industry? This basically makes Uncle Sam the ultimate landlord! Let's make this clear, Uncle Sam "allows" homeowners to GIVE him the deed to their HOME. Then, Uncle Sam charges the EX-homeowners RENT to stay in their own homes?!?!? This must be stopped.
- David C. Cooper
David, the homeowners didn't actually own the home, it was mortaged through Fannie Mae. Which means Uncle Sam already held the deed to the home and was taking money in order to theoretically transfer it to the new owner once the balance was paid 30 years down the road. Now the person in question will just pay money for rent and Uncle Sam will keep the deed. The person can break the lease and move if they need to without going into foreclosure and Uncle Sam can sell the property when and if appropriate.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Yeah, I'm not sure I'm excited by the idea of Fannie Mae being a landlord. They do realize that renters generally trash the hell out of a house, right? The resale value when the market improves will be terrible.

@ffing enigma You are right to point out that these houses have no monitary value to to the homeowner. Being on a lease that the owner can walk away from is a matter of value to the homeowner. @Anthony Owners evicted ejected from foreclosed home are notoriously abusive to the homes. They tend to take things like dishwashers, light fixtures and mantles. Worse, after they vacate the homes, the vandals go in and take whatever is left including copper wiring and water pipes.

Everyone, mortgages and deeds are not like car titles and car loans. When your name is on a deed, regardless of whether you owe money to a bank or lender for the purchase (a transaction called a mortgage with all kinds of legal precedent on the rights that bestows), you own that property. You are responsible to the community it is in for taxes and duties regarding upkeep. That property...

This notion of "ownership" is a curious illusion, even when the property is debt free. You really can't own anything beyond the point where the law will recognize and protect your exclusive possession. Where the property is encumbered by debt, the law still protects the owner, until foreclosure, just as much as if it were debt free. Either way, we enjoy this illusion of ownership. It's no surprise that "owners" in bankruptcy cases propose to pay much more than the property is worth to preserve "ownership."
- Jimmy Walker
LOL - I'm going to use that phrase - "ownership is a curious illusion" - sometime!

The irony about this is that when a citizen tries to help a homeowner out by taking over the deed an then tries to rent the property back they would go to jail. I guess what's good for the goose is not good for the gander.

@sjjh, there's no predefined directory structure on the Droid, though. So you could put music pretty much anywhere on the SD card. WE understand that, but the average user is going to wonder where to put their music, videos and pictures. doubleTwist takes that uncertainty out of the equation. That's important to adoption by less technically-savvy people.

Isn't it illegal to fax a pussy?
- aerobroken
It's really only social convention which regards it as inappropriate, same with Xeroxing it, like one does with their b__tocks. Wait are we still talking about cats cats here or...
- sofarsoShawn
OMGosh 700+ likes now!! LOL. Thank you all 702 of you. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Wow, not so bad huh? \u)

Before faxing it, you have to flatten it out a bit. You're going at it all wrong! :-)

International growth has started to completely dominate on FriendFeed since August. Below is an unlabeled graph of page views on FriendFeed this month, broken down by country. Guess which country is the largest green slice below? (Hint: it is not English-speaking)

Japan or Italy? Maybe Portugal?

Hmm.. Turkey is the biggest international... I am not surprised (:
- Ozgur Demir
i totally don't know my FF :(
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
Orange - Russia? :)
- Шалена бджiлка
FF is rising fast in Turkey I guess. And will probably continue to rise for some time. Celebrities are joining too (:
- Hakan Deryal
I am guessing the orange is Canada :P
- Johnny Worthington
COUNTRY OR CONTINENT?UNITED STATES OF AMERICA....
- Pam Gwenzi
@Brent. is USA one of these countries ? or does chart only show internationals ?
- Ozgur Demir
USA is blue. About 23% of our page views now.
- Bret Taylor
Does Australia get a slice?
- Johnny Worthington
@Bret, Can we get more info about Turkey in FF?
- Hakan Deryal
India
- Hayes Haugen
The orange slice is actually Italy, believe it or not. Turkey and Italy have been growing like gangbusters the past few months.
- Bret Taylor
@Bret. yes, your guess is correct (about gangs) (:
- Ozgur Demir
Sweet, correct guess :)
- ...
Turkey. hehe :)

What is the gray then, Bret?
- ...
what is the gray?
- Mycaptain
some of our friends from US don't know about FF, lol :)
- Ufuk Özgül
Gray is "other"
- Bret Taylor
where other is proxied users from Iran. ;)
- EricaJoy
Both China and Iran would have been in there if they were not both blocked currently
- Bret Taylor
Is Russia any of the other slices pictured above? (other than gray)
- ...
That's where Australia is, in the grey :)
- Glenn Slaven
OMG. Friendfeed is going the way of Orkut ;) Btw, is Norway/Scandinavia even visible in all this ? Just curious.
- Thomas Bøhm
@thomas. even though Orkut is Turkish (the guy), it is (site) not big in Turkey.
- Ozgur Demir
Just look at the public feed for 2 secs or 2 hours - yep, definitely.
- Micah Wittman

Facebook has a very similar story as far as I know.. we are a communicative nation:)
- Neşe Uyanık
Who's Gray? It's Gray, Louis of course :)

Thank you for sharing this graph, Bret.

Interesting - though for the sake of data visualization, pie charts are the worst of all.... :)
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
See-ming, a-hem, take a look at your avatar ;)
- Micah Wittman
@Bret, what is the exact number of Turkish people on FF?
- Ozkan Altuner
Ozkan, I'd be curious to know too, but I have a feeling there's an internal policy about not releasing absolute numbers, hence the percentages. But it never hurts to ask :)
- Micah Wittman
@Micah, it's the page view, however, not the number of users :)
- Ozkan Altuner
Good point, Ozkan. But I can't remember Visitor or View counts ever publicly reported before. But today could be the first time! :)
- Micah Wittman
Iran :-)
- Nimaa
Everyone knows teh fuckin answer Bret. It's Turkey. Mahir loves you http://www.ikissyou.org
- Ahmet Alp Balkan

I'm not surprised that Turkey is the green portion. I've seen more and more Turkish posts in my home feed. I thought it was just a biased sample, but perhaps not.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Iran
- Assal
Turkey
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Intense competition between Iran and Turkey occurred :D
- Nimaa
Hmmmmmmmmmmm...MOZAMBIQUE luminous orange l guess
- Pam Gwenzi
the desire to push the boundaries of internet of the turkish is troubling. the possesive tendecies of the turkish can be observed in the currently popular ''ff bu deYil'' (this is not ff) comment. turks are crowding ff, westerners are in panic!
- ferayebend
turks are invading ff!!! call norad
- aadagger
international growth dominates FF and yet the USA dominates the world. Not always in good ways either. What is the link? I don't think there is one. All I can say is that I love the USA and I love FriendFeed. What does it all mean? More free, cold beer is needed to find the answers.
- Morgan Haley
.. because, Turkish Facebook users are 10-20 years old. FF is very good alternative for older users. (and in addition Twitter is non-useful)
- Murat Tatar
Bret would that mean that FF has around 200K Turkish users? http://siteanalytics.compete.com/friendf...
- Cem ARGUN
Murat Tatar. So you've seen that Turkish Facebook users demographics ? even though it's unpublished.
- Ozgur Demir
SO when are we gonna party BRET? :)
- Bahriye
Actually, I wonder when Bret is gonna post something like "FF bu degil!"..
- Ozgur Demir
What do we care :) FF is this. And this is the rl. SO THE QUESTION IS: When are we gonna party!
- Bahriye
Bret start learning Turkish. You should have guessed from the reactions the days a.) you changed the design, b.) announced the FB deal. :)
- Cem ARGUN
I've noticed it on my feed. It's all good.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
I've noticed a huge increase in Iran, peaking at about 7-8am Eastern
- H0llywoodWh0re
Just curious, what's happening with total page views? (I don't trust alexa, compete, etc.)
- Bruce Lewis
@Bret, 1- Turkey, 2- USA, 3- Italy, 4- India, 5- Japan, 6- Germany, 7- UK & Russia 8 - Pakistan 9- Iran 10- Canada.. Is it True?

If that is so, can we get some way of filtering by language? I want to follow more international people but be able to ignore them or their friends when they post in what I cannot read :)
