This tool finds all the sites that your Friendfeed friends use and allows you to filter the results by service.

Please test, and let me know if it works. Suggestions gladly welcome.

Wow.
- Rah-PM 2012
Hao, this is awesome! Remember how people were saying in the FF Feedback room, how they'd like services to be linked, but not important the feeds? THIS is the temp. solution. WOW. Are you going to implement a way to filter individually?
- Mona Nomura
It doesn't actually do that, Mona. If your account is in Friendfeed, it goes into your feed. Hao Chen is merely making it easier to get the URLs from FriendFeed.
- Mark Trapp
Looks great. I guess I'll have to look into Social Graph API a bit deeper. It's so much faster than FF API for network data.
- Benedikt Koehler
Oops, I meant UN-LINK services so it'll stop pulling into their feed BUT still enable their friends to link to their respective accounts. Thank you for catching that, Mark.
- Mona Nomura
Great job Hao
- Zee.
It should be possible to use the Social Graph API to find services that are not imported into Friendfeed as well as friends' services not on FF. It's a bit tricky because it requires a lot of separate requests. Right now, it's only using the SG API to find your subscriptions across the services you import on FF.
- Hao Chen
Thanks, just don't look at the source code. LOL

- Laura Norvig
Laura, it's not very accurate, but it's supposed to remove links to people's accounts on the other networks you already subscribe to. For example, if I already subscribe to Bob on Twitter, it might remove the link to Bob's Twitter page in the big list.

- Hao Chen
Glad to hear you guys are finding uses for it. @Russell Right now, the list of services it displays is the list of services being imported by people's FF accounts, and since Blip.fm isn't a supported service yet, I can't add that in easily. I'll think about how to use the Social Graph API more effectively to do those things though.

Please stop using ISP email (Gmail is free!). I just discovered that one relatively common ISP seems to be blocking some of our emails because they include the url http://groups.google.com/group... (with that removed, the message gets delivered).
John Mueller, romanzolotarev, Sean Kelly and 43 other people liked this
Spam filtering is too complex to be left up to random perl scripts or whatever these people use. Several months back, a different ISP was blocking our email because the from address included the word "friend" (as in "friendfeed.com").
- Paul Buchheit
i've noted a similar trend as well. most people on isp email (ahem, comcast & earthlink) have a setting that kickbacks anything that isn't coming from an approved list...and the default msg manages to come off as both retarded and pretentious in a "i need to stock shelves of canned food in preparation for y2k" kind of way. i think earthlink's notice even suggests you to CALL the person you're trying to contact so they can add you to their approved list. very annoying.
- James Miao
Sadly, for most people, using email that isn't provided by their ISP is like using a phone that wasn't provided by the phone company before Carterphone. You're playing with dangerous wiring, and 'who do you call if the bell doesn't ring?'.
- Robin Barooah
Big deal, Gmail is currently blocking yahoo-inc.com addresses. It is a hard problem and no one does it perfectly.
- Sam Pullara
Sam, it's very unlikely that they are blocking all of yahoo-inc.com. Perhaps you did a "Report Spam" on that address previously? (which could cause blocking for your account) Regardless, the fact that nobody is perfect does not excuse those that are awful.
- Paul Buchheit
Maybe it wasn't obvious, but just because an ISP is blocking some email messages with that URL in them it doesn't imply that the spam filter that it has is awful. It probably has just gotten a lot of spam with google groups urls in them.
- Sam Pullara
it is interesting how many people stick with their ISP email service. I guess it is hard to change your email identity especially if you have used the one you already have for long.
- Davide D'Incau
I was just going to post a question about best practices re: startups sending email. I am sending email directly from a server with SPF, domainkeys and DKIM all setup correctly. Yahoo still seems to want to put our emails into spam folders for some users. Any pointers on what to avoid (the emails I am sending are very short and contain only some text, a link and a unsubscribe link)/how to debug?
- Arvind Sundararajan
As far as I can tell, there aren't any great options. Some startups that don't have to send much mail just route it through Google. I think there are also some equivalent paid services, but I don't know how good any of them are. As you recall, even Gmail had trouble getting past broken spam filters sometimes.
- Paul Buchheit
I haven't used ISP mail for the best part of ten years. I've changed ISP three times in that time, so it would have been a pain in the ass and expense to keep telling everyone and reprinting cards etc. It's worth paying for a domain for that reason alone, or, nowadays using reliable spam-free email like Gmail. (I gave up on Hotmail and Yahoo way back).
- Ian May
gmail works great for me. I do not see any spam on it. Only stuff I am expecting to find there.
- Davide D'Incau
For our 20-person company, we've been using Google Apps + IMAP very happily for over a year.
- Jeremy Dunck
Even people in my own relatively tech-savvy family still use @aol and @earthlink addresses. It's not that they don't want to use Gmail or similar upgrade, its that they don't want to give up an address that they've had for 10, 15, 20 years. Weird when compared to a few generations later (kids today), when email addresses are treated as disposable identities. However, comcast and earthlink should just outsource email to someone more ... modern.
- DeWitt Clinton
I find it strange that people use ISP e-mail because they want to keep their e-mail address. My parents have changed their e-mail address at least once when they changed providers. Also, their ISP only offers POP3 access. No IMAP. Of course, of the free e-mail out there, only gmail offers IMAP (that I know of).
- Robert Felty
The only reason I haven't completely chucked my AOL mail is because I want to keep those screen names for IMing since I've had them for forever and a day. Unfortunately some family members only know me by those e-mail addys, so it's been a slow uphill battle to get them to start switching to either my hotmail or gmail accounts. I'll win one of these days...
- Hookuh Tinypants
Amanda: you can login as your AOL screen name in Gmail and chat there http://mail.google.com/support...
- Benjamin Golub
Oh I don't use the AOL app for anything anymore. I'm all web-based anyway, and I use Digsby for chat. But the problem is that if I cancel my AOL account, they will cancel my screen names. Which means I will have to get all new screen names because they don't release canceled names back into the wild for like six months.
- Hookuh Tinypants
Not sure what you are saying -- that everybody should only use Gmail? There is a whole range of email providers out there -- free, not free, self managed, outsourced with varying degrees of spam management. Gmail is better than most, but still screws up.
- Brian Sullivan
Back when we got our service from Verizon, they not only included a Verizon email address, but also bundled in MSN, including an msn.com (hotmail) account. I haven't checked the former address in years, but use the latter for my IRL personal communications.
- Ontario Emperor
I son't see any problem with a FFer promoting a given web service in their posts. Happens all the time in fact. Gmail is free and ISP email usually sucks. If you don't like gmail there are other options and you're free to post about them. And if Paul's talking about the same ISP that I have, they pull this kind of crap all the time.
- Vicarbott
Point taken, but the tangential question is why do you use a google group as your main vehicle for user support?
- Laura Norvig
Laura, I actually just replaced the groups link with a link to the friendfeed-feedback room. My point however is that I should not have to worry about a groups.google.com url or some other random detail causing email to get blocked by some dumb filter. I noticed another ISP that blocks our daily-summary emails whenever they include amazon.com links (from someone's wishlist). FriendFeed is full of links, so these naive filters will always cause problems for our users.
- Paul Buchheit
As an aside, I'm not quite sure that FF is yet profiting from our data. Google certainly is because of the ads, but FF isn't quite there yet...
- FFing Enigma
V, I would bet that Gmail protects your privacy better than your ISP does. That said, I agree that there should be multiple competent email providers. I wish that Gmail would open up their sender reputation data, since that's the most powerful and reliable bit in the spam filtering equation. However, even if they do that, most ISPs will still suck because they don't know better, don't care, and their customers don't realize what's going on.
- Paul Buchheit
Are there really ISPs who don't give end users control over whether to use the ISPs spam filters or not? I have ATT, which uses Yahoo Mail, and I can choose whether to use Yahoo filters or get the raw feed (and I do both, on different accounts). I do wish Gmail would let me POP/IMAP my spam folder, if I so chose, some of my Gmail accounts are obscure enough to never get spam and I don't want to miss anything.
- Tinfoil 2.0
"I would bet that Gmail protects your privacy better than your ISP does". Having worked at an ISP all I have to say is "here here!". People think Gmail is evil because they "read" your email to put some ads on it but don't care if your ISP sends your email through something like an IronPort to detect spam.
- Benjamin Golub
The irony is that those same heavyhanded span filters can't be particularly effective otherwise span would have been rendered cost ineffective by now.
- Robin Barooah
I said the same to mum in email tonight... she uses aol she sent pictures of her and dad on holinday in texas...they never showed..crap... i set up a gmail account for her..hopefully she will use it. :o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
Every time Verizon/Yahoo gets a twich, my Mozilla Thunderbird goes down and cannot access the servers. But my Gmail still works. So I would like to go with GMail, completely, but, would I still be using the Verizon/Yahoo servers? Is GMail available through its own servers? Not completely savvy about this. Chris
- Chris Conner
Well, in defense of that ISP... Even Google doesn't use Google Groups, for some of its products because of the spam presumably.

I don't think I like the public waves, nor do I like being added to so many (testing) waves injudiciously. It's okay for now because I understand everyone wants to test it out, but I would prefer 1-1 or 1-few conversations instead. The best test is to _use_ it for something other than talking about Wave itself :)

I'm just starting to get it - but am online with it and very motivated to see if it's as awesome as the Googlers and community believe it is. It's fascinating to say the least, from what I've seen so far. I'm open to connect with others on the Preview via hollingt@googlewave.com

Wave is baby at the moment and not even in beta version. So too early and useful for anything. While studying the protocol, it is indeed very intuitive

- oliver gassner
guess one should differntiate between the WAVE technology (protocol) and what everybody now is moarning about - the collaborative mail chat thing they build to demonstrate its capabilities. Looking back it might have been a good idea to take a well known application to get the potential transportet. but now people are rating this application instead of the technology WAVE which has an enourmous potential! Its push´n´pull on steroids - and thats what makes a difference.
- psanner
Have not tried it, but real time collaboration looks promising. I wonder if it fits the way people are comfotable working
- Michele Costabile
Has potential for closed groups of people that all use wave. Further adoption depends on integration of legacy systems IMO.
- bishoph
Slower than email, and just, well slow. I'd imagine it'll speed up a bit when 3rd party federation servers take the load off a bit. Even with the quirks worked out, it'll still just as exiting as email. When blogs start integrating Wave THAT's when things will really get started. If they deliver what they're promising it's going to bring about a new generation of social networking.

Robert: "I will tell you what. This is a lot better than using Google Wave." is the epitome of what you're doing wrong. Honestly. Stop trying to use it like you use FriendFeed and start trying to use it like you use Google Docs and BAM, you'll see it.
- Chieze Okoye
Chieze: is there anything different or better compared with google docs?
- Mike Chelen
well, the thing that I like about it is that it combines the ease of collaboration of GDocs with the basic (sorta) paradigm of email/IM to improve the conversation part of creating a document. In GDocs, the communication with your colleagues/friends part of collaboration always took a back seat to the creation part. In Wave, I think it pretty successfully melds the two.
- Chieze Okoye
That said, neither facet in Wave independently (communication or creation) is as good as the two tools that exist now (Gmail and GDocs) but combined, it makes a lot of stuff easier. Specifically the kind of email threads centered around a central idea or final product (group report, list of who's bringing what to which party when, etc).
- Chieze Okoye
Love it. Even at this preview stage, I'd hoped for greater control over the Inbox - after all, it's supposed to be "email, invented today" - so, in its current form, it's not ready for mainstream/widestream adoption, but with a bit of polish from the usability experts, it's going to redefine how inter and intra organisation communication and collaboration takes place.
- Andrew Terry
And also, there's tremendous ability to keep Waves on topic (specific tools and actions available to remove thread-jackers and/or their non-sequiturs, add people as they become pertinent, remove people as they become unrelated, etc), instantly provides value to me over emails. There are definitely shortcomings and rough edges, no doubt, but the potential is quite clear when you know where to look.
- Chieze Okoye
Chieze: might address a few gdocs issues- that tracking revisions becomes difficult with many edits, and the lack of a realtime api. interesting, thanks
- Mike Chelen
Yeah, good point Mike, I hadn't even considered the API issue. As far as your first point, the revision part of Wave (playback mode) is already (to me) superior than the one in GDocs in terms of allowing me to follow all the changes that went into a document/Wave. With some more granularity and control (rollbacks, diffs between non-successive states, etc), it will be nigh perfect.
- Chieze Okoye
its not what i expected it to be, not from google, i guess they are mortal too.

FriendFeed != Google Wave - I think that's why you're frustrated. You're trying to solve a problem it wasn't meant to solve.
- Jesse Stay
In hindsight, I'd say the biggest problem with Wave is the way they decided to roll it out. If they'd simply given invites to groups of people who actually have a reason to try to work together and collaborate on real projects...rather than 100K unrelated developers/early adopters/pundits... I think much of the unwarranted backlash could've been avoided.

Andrew Terry: the problem is that the email metaphor is very unproductive. THAT is what I hate about Google Wave!!! Thank you for identifying it. There are far better metaphors for collaboration. Oh, and I get a lot more done in Google Docs than I ever will in Google Wave. Why? Because documents are a far more productive collaboration metaphor than email is.

- Jannifer @wordsforliving
I think Wave has a story for FF's threaded comments(IMHO it has a story for most of FF). What it needs is roles on a Wave so that I can allow ppl to reply to a blip that was created from one of my social media actions yet disallow them from deleting anything but their comments/replies. Also being able to have my "personal social media wave" be updated when I comment on someone else's "social media wave" would be nice so I that all parties can own that interaction.

@Sung - that's basically my conclusion as well (http://macrolinz.com/macroli...) and a few people seem to agree with me that the beta is really more about figuring out what the UI should actually be for that framework than just polishing the UI they currently have. Most people are too caught up in the hype though and don't know what they're looking at and so get disappointed pretty fast.

If you try to use wave as a replacement for facebook, twitter or friendfeed it's not going to work.

Just remmeber its a replacement for email and im

It's okay Robert and has potential especially for collabortory working together. However, whether or not the general public is going to drop e-mail and IM and use this instead is a moot point, as its not easy to 'suss out'

@Sandra I don't think the basic useage is any more complicated than email, people probably just need to have their hand held through a simple example conversation with one or two others & they'll be able to use it - public waves & advanced features can come later if needed

"It remains one of the great mysteries in sports, a 77-year-old crime that remains largely ignored and purposely unsolved. How does a team from the nation's capital, supported by a fan base of some of the nation's greatest thinkers, maintain a nickname that is the Native American equivalent to the N-word? Redskins? "It is the worst thing in the English language you can be called if you are a native person," said Suzan Shown Harjo, a Native American writer and public policy advocate who is the lead plaintiff in one of the most compelling lawsuits in sports history."

"Of course, it is a formidable task, fighting both men (Goodell and Snyder). "We aren't just fighting Coke, we're fighting Pepsi backed by Coke," Harjo said. And, indeed, it is a fight they lose every day. "We are the invisible population," she said of the approximately 4 million Native Americans. "So racism against our population is also invisible.""
- Bill Sodeman
"Some say Redskins owner Daniel Snyder will never make it right because it will cost too much money in merchandising. But imagine the riches he would reap with new apparel. Some say NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell would never dare mess with one of the league's cornerstone franchises. But what better way to cement his growing legacy as a curator of equality and fairness?"

"The name can be changed. The name should be changed. There is not a bigger certifiable slur in sports. There is nothing even close. And don't even try to compare this to the Fighting Irish, OK? If you saw a Native American on the street, would you call that person a redskin? "It's like putting Aunt Jemima on a helmet," Harjo said."
- Bill Sodeman
So, how about a new name for the Redskins? Reds, Federals, Warriors, Generals, Monuments, Americans, Stars... bring 'em on, people.
- Bill Sodeman
I agree Bill. It should be changed. Entirely hypocritical and antithetical to everything our country is supposed to be about. The NFL has a great image, but they let things like this persist, they have a deplorable record of minority representation in the front office and head coaching positions. If the country wasn't so infatuated with the sport they'd see these problems much more clearly.
- Morgan
Is the arbiter of offensiveness the entire society, or the group being wronged? For if "Redskins" is offensive, then the same standard should be applied to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the United Negro College Fund, and, yes, the Fighting Irish.
- John E. Bredehoft
I think the offensiveness depends in part on who is doing it. Black people using the word negro is a lot different than whites using it as a term of scorn.

- Bill Sodeman
John and John - you raise some interesting points. The word "redskin" is, according to some, one of the worst insults to a Native American. The word "negro" is an anachronism, and it is mildly offensive to some people. But there are no NFL teams that use an N-word as part of their name.
- Bill Sodeman
I think the arbiter are the precedents that have been set forth over the past 200 years of our country's evolution through law, the Constitution and understanding of civil and human rights. I don't think it's a question of who plays arbiter.

+1 Morgan - although Goodell has been missing an opportunity to play statesman and convince Snyder that changing the team's name will benefit society, the franchise and the NFL.

Bill, I see Goodell as a caretaker, not a revolutionary. I expect as much from him as I do Bud Selig. Little changed, little improved, all eyes and efforts on keeping the $$ continuing to flow in.
- Morgan
Morgan, good point, although Goodell has refined the NFL's international marketing. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills, Raiders or Jaguars move to Canada, Mexico or London within the next 5 years - and Goodell wants the NFL to expand outside the mainland USA. (Honolulu almost got an expansion team in 1974, but the NFL chose Seattle.) Goodell hasn't faced a real test from the NFLPA yet. That's a-coming. The Redskins' inappropriate name offers Goodell another opportunity to leave his mark on the league.

Question from a neutral party... If you have a problem with this person, why not just tell them the truth about their style rather than making a post about it here?

Johnny: I live in public. I don't play games behind the scenes. I am what you see.
- Robert Scoble
For some reason I just assumed the punchline to the latest Jason/Shel puppet video was that after doing TechCrunch40, then TechCrunch50, next time around they're going to do TechCrunch60. They just want to wait to deliver that until "This is the last TC50" has had time to bounce around.
- Ken Sheppardson
Then again, you might be talking about something completely different and I'm just lost.
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken that's what I was thinking that he's referring to, but they had one TC40 and 2 TC50's, but I heard there was an arguement between the two(speculation). So I guess we wait a year and see.

Robert: That's what makes you worth following and interacting with, Integrity is everything!
- Owen Greaves
What if you're faking it trying to make sure that everyone at DEMO talks about whether they believe Arrington and Calacanis are really breaking up.
- Dave Winer
Dave: It's still game playing, it may fly in Silicon Valley but the rest of the world won't get the joke.
- Owen Greaves
OMG! Scoble is RACIST against PUPPETS?!? What's next? Hating perfectly innocent TEDDY BEARS?!? *runs away, sobbing*

- Fee501st
SOMETIME I FEEL AUDI 5000... SOMETIME JUST 4000.
- Dave Friedel
No we love you Veronica and your FF threads! ;)
- Fee501st
Audi 4000 - when you don't need to leave so fast...
- Thomas
Does this mean you'll stop calling me an "ass" all the time?
- Dave Friedel
"I'm Audi 4000" = "I need to leave, but I can stick around for a few more minutes..."
- Thomas
Audi 9000 ..... Its Over NINE THOUUUUUSAANNNNDDDDD! when you got to GTFO
- Fee501st
LOOK THIS AINT FUNNY. I'M GONNA AUDI 4995 ON YALL IF IT DONT STOP.
- Dave Friedel
Hmm...if I adapt it to my friends cars it just sounds like I'm hinting that we'd need to stay the night "I'm out ford ka" doesn't quite have the same ring to it. :/
- Amy
That means I'm almost outta here... just 5 short.
- Dave Friedel
I AINT NO LOLLIPOP.
- Dave Friedel
it's weird, because i'm actually eating a lollipop right now.
- Veronica
No, you're a DIRTY LOLLIPOP, apparently
- Amy
"Audi 5G's, playa." is appropriate for job interviews. Fist bump optional.
- Paul Reynolds
it's not Dave.
- Veronica
lol!
- Amy
Cherry? lollipop?
- Fee501st
watermelon
- Veronica
an underrated flavor
- Jerry Perez
[restraint restraint--arrgh]
- Dave Friedel
yes, watermelon rules
- Fee501st
It's at least a _naughty_ watermelon?
- Paul Reynolds
that and root beer, mmmm
- Fee501st
Root beer I can get behind. Watermelon not so much...
- Thomas
root beer is my favorite, they didn't have it
- Veronica
oh no "they" didn't
- Jerry Perez
Did you say "I'm Audi 5000" and leave in a huff when they didn't have it?
- Thomas
root beer has to be the most vile substance I've ever ingested, it must be an acquired taste
- Amy
NO ROOT BEER? THIS PLACE IS WIGGITY-WHACK! I'M OUT AUDI 5000
- Paul Reynolds
Now I have a lollipop. Tootsie Pop, strawberry.
- Dave Friedel
Veronica, cool! Great minds think alike ;)
- Fee501st
my poor FF notifier is like 15 posts behind

Anybody else miss rebecca coleman? Sigh. I'm going to go play some CSS Duckhunt.

REBECCA IS MY GF
- Dave Friedel
Veronica, can you say "I'm Audi 5000" at the end of the next Tekzilla? :)
- Thomas
Noo 4000!!!!!
- Fee501st
Ok, 4500.
- Thomas
Dave, I know it's difficult but you have to face it - she ran off with kapo
- Amy
I hope I remember to!!
- Veronica
Dont worry we will remind you next monday! lol
- Fee501st
Guys, send a video question to Tekzilla asking a tech question. Then end it with "I'm Audi 5000"
- Dave Friedel
WHY WON'T SHE ACKNOWLEDGE THE THING I MADE FOR HER?!?!
- Veronica
Excellent idea
- Jerry Perez
Dave: Now that's a plan! :)
- Thomas
Veronica because she left in her Audi :(
- Fee501st
Uhh, Veronica she's Audi 5000... hello?
- Dave Friedel
Audis are fast, she should have been back by now.
- Veronica
DEAR TEKZILLA: I NEED YOUR SEARCH ENGINE LESSONS.AUDI 5000. WHERE'S MY MEADOW DAVE???
- Paul Reynolds
Unless it's an old Audi, in which case she never left...
- Thomas
Don't say anything to Patrick or Roger, they might not now what Audi 5000 means either lol
- Fee501st
No seriously, ask a real tech question then just end it "Audi 5000!"
- Dave Friedel
Dave, I do believe you need to think up another question this week then :)
- Amy
There must be some kind of hand gesture that goes with it.
- Dave Friedel
My money, all $3 of it, is on that Patrick will know what it means.
- Paul Reynolds
I'll have to think of a question, but that sounds like an awesome idea :)
- Thomas
Make that $2.25... I want a lollipop.
- Paul Reynolds
Yea, Patrick might, he was hip in the 90s!
- Fee501st
I'm trying to find the rap song where LL COOL J says Audi 4000, no luck so far
- Fee501st
It's hard to keep it to 15 seconds. I'd do it, but I already had one on.
- Dave Friedel
http://www.lyricstime.com/ll-cool... "You know I'm audi"?

I found the song REBECCA was talking about NSFW, i time code right where it says it http://www.youtube.com/watch...
- Fee501st
*musses Fee's hair* Your search engine lessons have just paid for themselves.
- Paul Reynolds
Fee501st, I don't know whether to applaud your efforts or think you're on the internet a bit too much.
- Jerry Perez
Thanks Veronica's classes pay for themselves
- Fee501st
Jerry, lol i just type Audi 5000 rap in youtube and it was 1st thing that came up!

This is what our Grandpa's said http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

- Paul Reynolds
from BuddyFeed
lol same here
- Fee501st
she blocked me too!!
- Veronica
She got deleted!
- Fee501st
if you look at her account where your not log in, you get a 404
- Fee501st
so she deleted herself?
- Veronica
I think so.
- Thomas
She was randomly posting comments on our posts, and they're all gone as far as I can tell...
- Thomas
if only it was that easy on other sites!
- Fee501st
This thread is whack! I'm Audi Quattro...
- Rah-PM 2012
Aw, well now I feel bad. Sorta. It's more like I feel less good than anything.
- Paul Reynolds
that's what using caps gets you.
- Veronica
It's back to myspace for her...
- Thomas
I wonder if she got to keep her Audi :(
- Fee501st
That's very good, Veronica. I think we should all take a moment and reflect on the lessons learned here.
- Paul Reynolds
OK. That's over. Where else can I play CSS Duckhunt?
- Paul Reynolds
"if all cap, you going get slapped, Stay in school kids!"
- Fee501st
Knowing is half the battle...
- Thomas
LOL Fee. I want Veronica's graphic on a t-shirt!
- Paul Reynolds
Paul, Veronica needs to make that TZ daily tip
- Fee501st
I've been to Venice and back, and this thread is still going on? I'm going to block everyone on here and delete my account, too; I can't take any more.
- aldenoneil

from twhirl
Sadly this is only Part II of a much longer, wackier thread.
- Paul Reynolds
if you want a calmer one, check out the Audi 4000
- Fee501st
I've seen them all. I can't stop seeing them all. I'll close my browser and I'm certain I'll get a text message.
- aldenoneil
I bust the windows out ya Audi 5000.
- Que Sarah Sarah
Anyway, I'm Audi 5000.
- aldenoneil
I'm Audi A4
- Veronica
I go to play bar trivia for a few hours and my poor Rebecca has quit forever. Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! I'm all A5 now.
- Dave Friedel
Rebecca left me a goodbye message on different post I made from earlier in the day. It said: "YOUR THE UGLIEST QUIT COPYING KANYE AND GET A LIFE I GOTTA POST YOUR UGLY FACE 231 TIMES."
- Dave Friedel
alden, you get TEXT MESSAGES every time someone posts in these threads? My god, I am so very very sorry!
- Veronica
I don't think that's the last we'll hear of rebecca coleman - someone counting out the posts and promising to do the same number of replies clearly has a wee bit of a vendetta going on
- Amy
Alden, time for that unlimited text plan or unhook your phone from it. Sometimes threads keepa goin'. Veronica isn't the only person who sometimes has hundreds of posts. Sarah Lane did it intentionally a just two weeks ago to see if her subscriber count were real people... they were.
- Dave Friedel
Amy, you may be on to something. Maybe she's just slipped away to regroup and plan. I'm picturing a weary rebecca coleman hovering over the keyboard wearing a much too big army helmet while whipsering, "Audi... for now..."
- Paul Reynolds
Is she back with a new feed? It's private -- http://friendfeed.com/becksav...
- Charley M
oh she's a VIRGO. well that explains everything right there.
- Que Sarah Sarah
I don't get text messages. Most of what I say is bullshit.
- aldenoneil
^ so is that true or not?
- Fee501st
It's the 1 year anniversary!!
- Jerry Perez
Resurrected from the dead. This thread is sooooo Audi 5000.
- Dave Friedel
Actually, Veronica using FriendFeed is so Audi 5000.
- Dave Friedel
Ah, memories...
- Thomas
Light the corners of my mind... Misty water-colored memories... Of the way we were.
- Dave Friedel
Scattered pictures... Of the smiles we left behind... Smiles we gave to one another... For the way we were.
- Dave Friedel
Can it be that it was all so simple then? Or has time re-written every line? If we had the chance to do it all again... Tell me, would we? Could we?
- Dave Friedel
MEMORIES! May be beautiful and yet... What's too painful to remember... We simply choose to forget.
- Dave Friedel
So it's the laughter... We will remember... Whenever we remember... The way we were.....................
- Dave Friedel
