"if the current web page uses OpenSearch to point to a search engine, Firefox shows a blue circle next to the search box. You can add the search engine to your list using only two clicks." I tried this with FriendFeed and it worked like a charm; the UI is nearly impossible to tell that's wha the blue circle means though. - Benjamin Golub
The discontinuous text works with the FriendFeed bookmarklet too. Nice! - Vince DeGeorge
I just discovered the shortcut for selecting specific tabs. Cmd+1 Cmd+2 etc. I've used Cmd+~ to tab through but HUGE discovery for me. - Andrew Smith
Cmd+# is a cool feature, but not new in Firefox 3 :) - Michael C. Harris
i feel somewhat obligated to point out that IE7 has done this since launch... if the page your viewing supports opensearch, then the little arrow next to the search box turns orange, when you click it, the search provider is there starred, if you click the provider, it adds it to your list of providers. also, Ctr+e puts the cursor in the search box, and ctr+down pops open the list of providers. - Chris Hollander
Funny/sad that the browser I use most, WebKit (nightlies), doesn't support OpenSearch. - DeWitt Clinton
Cool features and shortcuts can be found at: http://i-stuff.blogspot.com/2008... - Kevin
Firefox 2 changed the color of the search icon on OpenSearch enabled sites, too - Nick Lothian
When will us Mac users get a version of Firefox that doesn't feel like it was ported from Windows/X11? There still seem to be random mouse-cursor-handling bugs all over the place. Maybe I'm the only one who notices. - Jim Norris
I definitely am noticing some bugs in the way right-clicking is handled (or rather, not handled) on some links - Charlie from twhirl

Paul Buchheit
You going there Paul? - Mike Doeff
No, I'd like to, but it's too far away for now. I just saw it on another (private) feed and reshared it so that Ana could see what we're talking about. - Paul Buchheit
We were in bora bora for a week in 2006. We loved it! - Karen Padham Taylor
Never got to bora bora but did go to moorea. Stunning but ... I'll take kauai any day. - AJ Kohn
We spent part of our honeymoon there back in 2001. Beautiful place. - Mike Doeff
wow... that looks spectacular. Category 7. I don't think I will ever have enough starwood points for that :) - Frankie Warren
Bora Bora is beautiful, but built entirely for tourists. I'd also take Kauai over it any day. - Tudor Bosman
(Alright, so we need to keep Kauai a secret!) Don't go it's awful! Roosters keep you up all night. - AJ Kohn
True. If you leave the house at night in Kauai, you'll be attacked by armies of wild chickens. - Tudor Bosman
And also, there are cane spiders, which could attain a legspan of about 10 inches, and (according to Wikipedia) "they are able to travel extremely fast, and walk on walls and even on ceilings. They also tend to exhibit a "cling" reflex if picked up, making them difficult to shake off and much more likely to bite." Don't go to Kauai! - Tudor Bosman
I can't imagine that anything could top the Galapagos Islands. We went there on our honeymoon in 2005. Clare did get stung by jellyfish twice though, and a baby sea-lion sniffed her foot. So on second thought , maybe you shouldn't go. - Robert Felty
We stayed at the Intercontinental on Bora Bora for New Years 2005. Very similar to the photos above with the huts over the water. It was beautiful. Great for water sports, the scuba was wonderful! Other than that though its just Luais and laying on the beach. And the food is horribly expensive and not that great. The island is small so you can go to local restaurants with better food,... more... - Rachel Lea Fox
Oh, and Kauai is the wettest place on Earth. So why go to Kauai?! - AJ Kohn
@seman :WOW! these are awesome! Can I share them with my friends? - تنهاترین انجل
Bora Bora is heaven ... simply heaven! Moorea was great too ... rented bikes, a camera, my girlfriend, alcohol, and partying with the natives on the beach ... - Allen Hurff
How much should you expect to spend to see this place? - seman
Here's when it literally doesn't pay being a Geek. - Parth Awasthi
@Allen Hurff: lol. it sounds like you rented bikes and a camera and also rented your girlfriend, alcohol, and the partying with the natives. :D - edythe
My brother & sister-in-law stayed there 2 years ago for their honeymoon. They absolutely loved it. - Jason Menayan
Tahiti is one of my favorite places. Went for my honeymoon in 00' and then back again before my son was born in 03'- we're planning a trip for 09' hopefully! - Erin @queenofspain

Adding richness to activity streams - http://factoryjoe.com/blog...
I think your "Components of an activity" was a great way to illustrate what you're looking at doing, I'd be interested in seeing how many of these activity updates can fit into a single model like the one you described. btw, still failing at the "Dave" thing. ;) - David Recordon
Brilliant stuff. It would be nice if there was a mechanism to define various types of components or activities. Perhaps a standard dictionary and the ability to add a user-defined one. For example, we have talked about research streaming, essentially capturing events from instruments in a lab, or in silico experiments. Not social activity, but activity nevertheless. - Deepak Singh
Is it possible to work some of this into a WordPress plugin in the interim? - l0ckergn0me
one of the reasons i'm up in the air about friendfeed is that it take the conversation away from blog posts.. - Paul Stamatiou
You mention that DiSo Project already has Action Stream plugins. Where are these? - Mark Krynsky
@mark This is the one: http://singpolyma.net/plugins... (I have it on my blog http://dready.org/blog/ albeit being poorly styled) - Wil
(1) I put Activity Stream functionality into my WicketPixie WordPress theme, but it's not half as rich as what Chris is proposing here; (2) I'm using the FriendFeed WordPress plugin to pull specific commentary back into my corresponding blog posts. - l0ckergn0me
@factoryjoe we're working on some of this over at socialmedian. Look forward to getting your's and other's feedback once we launch it. Prob something to look at and play with in next 3-4 weeks. - Jason Goldberg
+1 to the FriendFeed WP plug-in.. I installed it yesterday and it definitely works very well. - Wil

How Batch Processing Made Me 10 Times More Productive - http://www.problogger.net/archive...
  How Batch Processing Made Me 10 Times More Productive
Awesome tip. - Steve Rubel
Still amazed Google doesn't have a task list tied in with gMail and gReader - John Frost
@John Frost, indeed, that is literally all that I need to move everything into Google - Justin Yost
My last name doesn't follow the rhyming pattern, but I'll comment anyway: great article by Darren here, I am going to try and employ his tips this week. - Daniel Smith
Steve Rubel
I am largely over Twitter. I feel weird when I post something there instead of here. I get a ton more discussion here.
I think part of the reason must be: the discussion is so much easier to follow, here - Phil Crissman
and when you post you're fairly certain it's going to show up :) - John Duff
I'm definitely becoming a huge FriendFeed fan, but not everyone is here, so I think Twitter will remain essential. Plus, how complex would FriendFeed have to get to be configurable to the point where I could get chat or IM updates for only certain kinds of feeds for only certain users (and be able to reply appropriately) and have that tie in with my hiding filters? - LogEx
Interesting, so you want to get friendfeed through IM and be able to interact with the posts (replies or comments) with IM as well? You can already configure things so you're only getting posts you want from each user, the api respects those choices (afik). So building an IM bot for friendfeed is what you want to do, Jabber based IM probably wouldn't be too hard to get the feed. Difficult part would be posting a comment to a friendfeed post. Very cool idea. - John Duff
@John -- there already is a bot to do most of this, the Mojipage bot. - Trent Olson
And then of course SMS is the next step (but as we dumb down to more compact protocols, usability decreases). Or maybe SMS will be so 2007 when the iPhone supports chat native ;-) - LogEx
I'm not into FF nor Plurk, yet, but it seems like they offer an easier way to thread conversations that twitter doesn't have. - Mario Sundar
@Mario...I'd recommend spending some time with ff, but steering clear of Plurk - Trent Olson
I am liking the comments threading on Friend Feed, but it feels like conversations get lost somehow too. - John F Morton
I've noticed that, despite having 500 followers on Twitter, no-one responds to anything I say!! But here on Friendfeed, I get instant replies - and quality replies (which is important). Twitter has too much noise. - Mark O'Neill
I think that FriendFeed and Twitter were both built for different purposes. A lot of people use Twitter so they can keep in touch with friends. On FriendFeed, I think it's more of a website where you share and discuss content. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
I think yesterdays coverage of WWDC here on FF pretty much rubber stamped FF's position, no? - Roberto Bonini
ff feels like a mashup of pownce functionality with the benefit of aggregating lots of other streams. I think it misses some of the conversation with the cloud aspects of twitter. As for everyone not being here - that's part of the reason there is more response, you can actually notice when someone says something not just watch the stream go by in a blur. - Phillip J. Zannini from twhirl
I would rather not use FF messages for Twitter-like statuses. If I stick to Twitter for status messages, then other FF users can choose to block those if they want. - Morton Fox
@John - The Mojipage Bot allows you to select noise level, enter different discuss rooms and posting to FF.The Mojipage widget also have the 'like' and 'comment' feature for posting FF too! For more informations you can go to http://mojipage.com/pages/bot/ - Aelvin Han
Steve - discussions are much easier to follow and come back to later on on FF; its one major reason why I'm becoming a more dedicated FF user - Ron Emrick from Alert Thingy
100% agree. Twitter represents a great initial idea that resulted in an effective one-way loop. FriendFeed is poised to be the fruition of the RESPONSE to all those posted thoughts. An actual discussion. A true loop. Potentially also FF might just be a service to corner the market on all web discussion. Jus' sayin. - Steve Isaacs
I was a late joiner to twitter- fellow marketer turned me onto it, and I enjoyed it, but never got the large discussions that happened here *immediately*- and realy enjoy the filtering and weighting that goes on. - anna sauce
FF definitely has more info and less extraneous stuff. Information content vs chatter. - Robin Whitson
I'm pulling for FF to do well, but I've spent time on twitter and I know the people there. hard to leave it. - Rob Williams
Like Morton, I'm still inclined to post status messages to ff from another source so they can be parsed/blocked, but I'm trying out gTalk to replace tweets. Thinking the only con to doing that is twitter habits I can quickly get over. - Dan Covington
The signal-to-noise ratio at FF is heaps higher than Twitter, and it is a good balance between having temporal conversations (late-breaking news, etc.) vs. information worth archiving.. - Wil
We need to start FriendFeed meetups now to take the place of TUB meetups :-) - Duncan Riley
agree - Max Niederhofer
agree - and it's the threading, searching, flexibility that makes FF a winner for me - Anthony Citrano
out of interest steve, what client do you use for FF? still finding alertthingy too chatty on the UI side - steve clayton from twhirl
@Scott I have 3200 following me here and another 1500 via RSS. On Twitter I have north of 7000 followers. So you are right this is an issue. One possible idea is to run the whole lifestream or just the FF portion (http://friendfeed.com/steveru...) through Twitterfeed. That way people can follow my stuff there if they want to. - Steve Rubel
I understand what you're saying, Steve, but I still think FF needs an easier interface. Checking the website all the time is a drag. - Ed Healy
@Ed RSS! - Steve Rubel
That's interesting. The comment threads are definitely easier to read on FriendFeed though. - GerryBot
@Steve, I'm with you, but even RSS can't compensate for Twitter's ease of use. There is something to be said for the ability to get short IM-like messages in a timeline, rather than threaded vis-a-vis FF. If FF had a twhirl-like client interface it would be an easy substitution. Right now, it's not. - Ed Healy
/me loves his FF, though. :) - Ed Healy
Twitter seems to be more a right now kind of service, where FF brings all recent content into view. I guess they both have their uses, but which is more ideal is anyone's guess - Derek Schauland from twhirl
I like that I can look here & see what all the comments are at once. It makes it much easier to meet new people or find out a general 'take' on the topic. - Sheryl Loch
Wil

Fixed now! - Sanjeev Singh
Thanks for the quick turnaround, kudos to @sanjeev! - Wil
Leo Laporte
Sites like Plurk show that there's still lots of room to innovate in the Twitter/Jaiku/Pownce space. http://www.plurk.com/user...
agreed about plurk - Wil
I've been using plurk for a few days, and it just reminds me how painful it is to use twit without apps like twhirl - ellaconic from twhirl
don't know seems interesting but without the current support that twitter has I'm hard pressed to switch over. Twitter currently does more for me with bots and community than other features. I do think it's a good idea though. Nice find Leo. - Bryan
Plurk navigation is a little odd. Using the keyboard arrows shows you the old plurks but there are no navigation clues on their site. - Keith Green
don't like it :( - Adrian from twhirl
Really like the layout but wouldn't let me important any contacts from Gmail due to various errors - LAME!!! - Mark Drapeau from twhirl
I like the interface. Good one, Leo! - Steve Lowe
I can't get past their weird logo - Mike Doeff
is it really that good? What's the purple cow here? - Stephen Collins from twhirl
Plurk is pretty cool, like the UI and implementation, unfortunately they're having server issues as well :) - MG Siegler
Plurk? Hmmm. Leo keeps trying to get people off of Twit and it didn't work the first time. Of course now that Twitter is limping - Robert Scoble
Scoble: It's a possibility with how Twitter is having so much trouble but then again Leo is one of the heavy weights so who knows!!! - Paul
Plurk has a funky UI, but if they can keep the service up better than Twitter, they could prevail in that space. - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
the timeline is kinda cool, karma concept is lame, headless dog icon is just plain strange. - Benton
Jack: the problem is that Leo reported that Plurk was down this morning. Fail. - Robert Scoble
I can't read their TOS now... it redirects me to to an error page - directeur
Robert: Some downtime for a beta service is acceptable to me. If Plurk continues to mirror Twitter's downtime, I'll gladly add to that fail assessment. I agree with others here, Friendfeed, Tumblr and Pownce more than make up for the loss of Twitter, and Plurk (gawd I hate that name) if it comes to that. - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
I think that Plurk has more chance to 'catch on' with 'general' internet users, think glorified Facebook statuses. - Timothy Neilen
All this actually makes me wonder if we're not reinventing notions like forums and IRC channels... - directeur
I foresee a new career for Scoble...joining and attempting to break beta social sites. :D - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
Looks interesting. but the headless dog has got to go. -
The headless dog is actually customizable, there's lots of choices you can replace it with. You can unlock new ones by gaining karma too, which is a nice little bonus. - Evan Sims
I can't stand the word "karma" :) - directeur
maybe i'm clueless but their friend importer/IM linker ain't working for me - Nathan Eckenrode
I like what I see so far. The comment system seems to encourage interaction. I also enjoy the customizations. - Bradley Goetsch
Great app but I found myself leaving it after a while. The usually "why are my friends not on this, too bad" thing... - Robert Gaal
Jeremiah Owyang
I'm working on a great post about MICRO MEMES tommorow, look for it!
One should not claim their posts great until their readers tell them it is. - Louis Gray
@Louis - LOL... - Susan Beebe
@ Louis LOL +1, I also think calling conversations micro memes is against the rules. I wonder if there is a secret hazing ritual at Forrester where they force you take simple concepts and make them complex because it winds up selling more reports. - Robert Seidman
example: "Louis, wanna talk about the A's vs. Giants" becomes "let's have a micro meme about A's/Giants". Crazy. - Robert Seidman
Oh Louis, if it's great in my mind, that it's great to me. Either way, you can decide if it's great for you. ;) - Jeremiah Owyang
Robert, I'm not sure you even understand the definition, hang tight buddy, it'll be explained. Confused why are you taking shots at my job, it's Sunday!!! My blog is free, quite different than reports. I blog because I want to, I could stop blogging and make the same paycheck. Take it easy ok? Sheesh it's Sunday! :) - Jeremiah Owyang
Robert, Jeremiah's on to something with the concept of micromemes, if it's to describe them as "a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation" but specific to a closed social group or rather contextually relevant to that group, but not others (http://is.gd/pg6). If he is going to highlight the ability of aggregated social conversations (looking to avoid the overused phrase media) to illuminate important or relevant matters for a group, that's useful and accurate. - Marc Vermut
@jowyang looking forwrd to it! - MojiPage
Jeremiah, I know your blog is free, and I also know you love this stuff as an enthusiast and would (and did) even if you weren't working for Forrester. I don't generally like buzzwords for simple concepts like "here's a group of people talking about last night's Dodger's game" Still in the future I'll wait to read before before busting your chops, and if still so compelled only do so Mon-Fri : ) - Robert Seidman
Care to point the big difference between Micromemes and Social Objects? - Armando Alves
Robert, Louis, Marc, Moji the post is live. I'll admit it's a very hard concept to describe. PLEASE note that a "micromeme" isn't just a conversation, it's a software tool that tells you what the MOST important thing is from your friends. More advanced than a chat room, or a feedreader, http://www.web-strategist.com/blog... - Jeremiah Owyang
Robert I'm not trying to create buzzwords, but there is no term to describe what a MicroMeme vs a MacroMeme is. If there is, I'll use it. I've had this same conversation with Scoble and the Founder of Friendfeed. - Jeremiah Owyang

Oh Yikes - Deepak Singh
Ouch! - Susan Beebe
make mine like that too please http://www.plurk.com/user... - sean percival
This is why gmail created labels and filters :) - directeur
time for another gmail filter/label eh Loic? :) we need dataportability to prevent this from happening when every new socnet launches. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
sorry about that... guilty - Katherine Druckman
So you're the reason Plurk went down! - Jesse Stay
must...stop....laughing.... particularly given that this will be my inbox in the morning as well, dealing with them as they come in at the moment. - Duncan Riley
Il te faut au moins une adresse par service utilisé donc... :D - Sébastien
Wow! - Mitchell Tsai
ah, oui! - Adri Munier
I blame Duncan. That guy doesn't get enough blame, so it's time we start spreading it around. :-) - Louis Gray
oh my... i am 5th from the bottom at 6:54, and now i feel bad for spamming :( - Geri Druckman
I have the same troubles. I hate new social networks. Sigh. - Robert Scoble
You guys why don't you read manuals? :) - directeur
Robert, you do not. You love new social networks. That's like Garfield saying he hates lasagna. - Louis Gray
Bring on dataportability. This is madness! - Charlie
I don't love having to click on everyone to add them as my friend. Especially when I've told 19 other services you are already my friend. Sigh. - Robert Scoble
@Louis - LOL ... Scoble he's right! that's what makes it so darn funny!!! :-) - Susan Beebe
I am so not botheruing with Plurk - Soulhuntre from twhirl
yeah, i think i'll steer clear of plurk. too many social networks already and only about 3 of them are cool...via feedalizr - C. K. Sample III
cant you turn the notices off - Anthony
+1 Charlie - directeur
OMG! Remember me to care about "Internet pollution".... - Dieter Schwarz
honestly, I think this is actually quite fun! - Loic Le Meur
Loic: But then -and Scoble guy will hate me for saying this- you'll have to... FILTER! :) - directeur
LoL that's super quick! - MojiPage
Laetitia: it's called "Look ma' I'm popula !!" ;-) - directeur
The joys of popularity! - Joe Dawson
LOL don't they have a setttings to disable email notification? that would be nice - Tyler Gillies
this is not gonna go away even with openSocial unfortunately. setup a filter in gmail to scoop them all up - Lawrence Leung

I just subscribed to Business Week via Zinio. I get all 51 issues delivered to my computer and also readable anywhere I have a computer and internet connection. Soon to be fully iPhone/iPod Touch compatible. I want to subscribe to ALL my favorite mags this way.
i checked that out last night (with user agent switcher on ff3). - edythe
Any special link to get this? - Robert Sanzalone
Nope - just visit Zinio.com. You do have to pay for the magazine subscription, though I think they have several issues from various magazines that you can try for free. I love it! - Internet's Tad
Cool. Thanks Tad. - Robert Sanzalone
well, from an iphone it is free, right? and if you change your user agent in firefox or safari, then you can act as if you're on an iphone. Amit Agarwal just had a post about this on Digital Inspiration: http://tinyurl.com/6pwyl3 - edythe

weird behaviors with long texts on Friendfeed which I had never tried. When Friendfeed tries to replace a blog post :) - Loic Le Meur
That's what I love about it - you never have to blog about a link again. All new news gets blogged, and all opinions on news go to FriendFeed. - Jesse Stay
Loic, you need to help me pitch my editors on send me to Le Web, if anything to get my French back up to par. ;-) - Andrew Feinberg
Andrew, let me know how I can help you! - Loic Le Meur
amazing .. wish you had nonprofit scholarships - Beth Kanter
Loic, sent you a D on twitter...if I can get into the show comp'd and find cheap lodging I can probably pitch multiple angles to them. do you have some kind of speaker list yet? - Andrew Feinberg
we are trying to be the first ones to make $1 million in revenue on Twitter and Friendfeed :) - Loic Le Meur from twhirl
I'm glad -someone- has a business model here! ;-) - Andrew Feinberg
Andrew, no speaker list yet, we're on it and don't want to make it too early to make sure we capture the last trends. This makes me think I should invite Paul and Bret the Friendfeed founders for sure - Loic Le Meur from twhirl
Loic - good call. I'll take the conversation private on this though. Definitely interested in EU perspectives on new media and especially regulation. Actually, how would you feel about a panel on US vs EU media and Internet regulation? - Andrew Feinberg
Fantastic results using FF and twitter ... cool!! Congrats to you an the entire team!! wish I could go!!!!! - Susan Beebe
Wow. That's just amazing! - Daynah
wish i could go - MojiPage

Robert Scoble
Hahahah. Plurk is already down. Fail. And no Fail Whale, either. Double fail! Hint: if you want to be the next Twitter: stay up. Always.
it was down this morning too, rebounded pretty nicely though for a big push tonight. - MG Siegler
that's why Twitter may just succeed - I doubt many services are ready to compete with Twitter on an architectural level. By the time they are, so will Twitter. - Jesse Stay
if you want to be the next twitter, just wait for SXSW next year, but still probly wont happen for you lol, the fail whale is hungry - Anthony
Yeah, I fill cheated. Where's the picture of headless birds lifting a whale torso out of the water? :-) In all seriousness, twisted images aside, I don't see what unique offerings Plurk brings to the table. - Joanmarie
tough crowd. - Eric Schlissel from twhirl
I'm sure the plunk engineers were thrilled when leo sent out a mass invite and 9:30 am on sunday morning. They were probably doubly thrilled when scoble showed up. I bet their job sucked today. - Doug Brooks
so far so lame - adolfo foronda
Doug, what do you mean? All new startup engineers should be ready for a mass invite by Leo, shouldn't they? ;-) - Jesse Stay
they fell to the scoble and leo effect - Charles Rice from twhirl
I tried it just now and deleted my account soon afterward due to the name restrictions (had to be at least two words, it appeared). But it wasn't down. - Voyagerfan5761
they weren't expecting all the attention, it's your fault... again... : http://blog.plurk.com/ - David Petar Novakovic from twhirl
There's two million people on Twitter. Only about 90 have added me as friends on Plurk so far. Fail. - Robert Scoble
down for me also from their blog: "You can rest easy knowing that every facet of Plurk is built with scaling in mind from day one" - fbrunel
i just looked at plurk, and it scares me. what's going on in there?! - Craig Childs
Why have I ALWAYS to be right when everyone believes at first the other thing? :) Am I a genius? - directeur
Try FAIL fish ... blowing hard but can't blow enough bubbles!! LOL - Susan Beebe
Humor is another :) - directeur
jesse, easier said than done.. just saying I'm glad that wasn't my sunday :) imagine waking up to that ehhe. I find the whole thing quite hilarious. - Doug Brooks
it won't stay up long enough for me to add you robert - marty nickel from twhirl
yep...it's borked up and that fish is blowing so hard it's head's gonna pop off like that bone-head dog! LOL ...lameO - Susan Beebe
if you want to be the next twitter all you have to do is stay up. that's pretty much it. someone famous once said 90% of anything is showing up - well maybe 90% of web app success is staying up. - Morgan
Doug, oh yeah, I understand, and I feel for them. I remember waking up to hear our site was on the front page of MSN at one startup I was at several years ago. Those days were horrible days! And I was the only guy that could fix it! - Jesse Stay
as a side note i put that poor logo's head back on :) http://friendfeed.com/e... - Doug Brooks
It was only a matter of time, seriously. - Mack D. Male
pretty clone, but running into scalability issue way too early - MojiPage
it's still up for me .. maybe I missed it - John Blanton from twhirl
You and Leo Laporte should sell your service as a "scalability audit" :) - Katherine Druckman
Plurk is written in Python, is it time to pick on Python not scaling? - Bob Ngu from twhirl
How do Python and the other technologies today scale? I've heard many Ruby on Rails complaints. How about others? - Mitchell Tsai
Shame! Python not scaling? You sure are kidding Bob? :) - directeur
directeur, I am being facetious LOL. I know that Google is largely written in Python, so yeah it scales but even that is a silly thing to say because a language is but one small piece of the overall architecture. Likewise, people need to stop blaming Ruby on Rails for Twitter's downtime, even Twitter has came out and said as much recently. - Bob Ngu
Bob, you're very right, but I won't compare Python to Ruby ;-) - directeur
Loic Le Meur
I have no idea what Plurk is but I just secured /loic on it just in case it's cool http://www.plurk.com/user/loic
Robert Scoble came too late to get his username - fbrunel
Screw that. I won't talk about Plurk until they give me my user name back. - Robert Scoble
Isn't that what Leo Laporte said about Twitter Robert? ;-) - Jesse Stay
heehee - I secured "tad" - always have to get in early to snag 3 letter names. So far I have no interest in plurk. - Internet's Tad
Anyone else find plurk's threading system silly? You have to click on this small number and wait for the thread to load, no way to see an overview of incoming messages - Mark Trapp
Yep that's a little weird but I think there is something to be done with the timeline. - fbrunel
"The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation." It doesn't take long for a new service to run into scalability problems. Hasn't anyone learnt that they should design stuff to be scalable from the very beginning? Looks to me like the focus for these guys was an ultra-cool UI.. - Wil
USABILITY! It's not usable! I can't stand such vainly colorful stuff - directeur
looks silly to me. I'm sure someone could whip up a twitter timeline that would look just as good. Plus, it would have the added bonus of big, blank holes in the timeline showing when twitter was down... - Trent Olson
I think my biggest problem is that there are two many things that require active feedback. Want to see new responses? Have to click "view new responses" then click a small number next to each thread. Want to update the timeline? You have to click "update." Want to see alerts? Have to click on a really small number there, as well. Why can't it update on its own? - Mark Trapp

Are Blog Comments Really Conversations, or Are They Just Replies? - http://www.louisgray.com/live...
Tough question...it really depends on who is doing all the asking. Sort of puts to rest the two ears one mouth problem though doesn't it...here we can be all fingers! - Luke Harvey-Palmer
Twitter is a converstaion. Facebook is approaching conversation status. FrienFeed is some hybrid between replies and conversations. Blogs are replies. - Kai S Davis from twhirl
NinjaKai: Why is Facebook more like conversation than FriendFeed's replies/conversations? Is it because Facebook has DM & IM? I find FriendFeed much more conversational than Facebook unless I use Facebook-IM. The posting of comments is so FAST... I'm having fun having discussions with a FriendFeed group in Iran. The FF post-comments method holds threads much better than Twitter & responds much faster than e-mail. - Mitchell Tsai

Friend count: 7766 following me on Twitter, 3593 on FriendFeed and 4752 on Facebook.
thank you all for following me, should I have said - Loic Le Meur
I just sent you a FB invite so add one more. - Michelle Trent
and you are planning to invite all your friends to a party at your house ... when? - Alexander Falk
Alexander, if you are referring to the founders brunch at my house, it is an event reserved to the members of the founders brunch circle which I do not manage sorry. We rotate every time at someone else's house. Honestly, I would not have room to fit my 5000 friends in my house, but you can come to LeWebParis.com :) - Loic Le Meur
Loic, will @MarsPhoenix catch u? 6,999 with a bullet. - Robert Stevens
This is because you give away wine :) - Charlie Anzman
I sent you an invite also...so you can hit the 4,999 Facebook max. :-) - Mitchell Tsai
Must resist the urge to brag about my own numbers. Must resist! It's a trap! - Robert Scoble
Scoble. If you want to bump up from 4,995 to 4,996 on Facebook, you can add my invite... Looks like you added a few hundred again since I last checked... Maybe Facebook can add a "waiting list" so you can stay at 4,999 :0) - Mitchell Tsai
I have 2,920 people waiting to be my Facebook friend. That's so sad. They should come to FriendFeed where they all could be my friend. - Robert Scoble
Facebook need to raise the limit on the number of friends you can have. Mind you why should I care, I am about 4,970 away from reaching that! - Michael McGimpsey
Michael: sometimes I wish I were in your shoes. - Robert Scoble
Facebook won't raise the limit. It is now official. - Loic Le Meur
Loic: cool. I'm going to start auctioning off friend spaces. :-) Did they announce this somewhere? Did they give you a reason why it's 5,000? Heck, if limits are good, why not 1,000? Or, why not 6,000? - Robert Scoble
you are so famous Loic. Time to turn those eyeballs into ad dollars! ;) - Jacob Nahin
Real friends are more important than real dollars. - Louis Gray
Louis: so true. - Robert Scoble
Ad dollars=joke. - Jacob Nahin
You are the one to follow. That is why - Baard @ Pixum
