For know I think Avatar (looked nice in 3D and also thought it was funny at times. The Colonel Miles Quaritch was really funny at times). From which I seen I also liked star trek/Hurt locker/ up! (not as much as I thought it would....)
- alfred westerveld
I haven't seen a ton of movies this year sadly. At the moment I'd probably go with Inglourious Basterds.
- Joe Pierce
some Japanese film i saw between Singapore and Tokyo. no idea what it was called, but it was about mountain climbers in the first decade of the 20th century who were trying to scale a mountain in Japan that had only been scaled in legend by a monk.
- Joe Silence
I haven't seen too many but out of the ones I have seen, I have to say Ninja Assassin.
- aden
Umm!! Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and Ice Age 3 were my favorites followed by District 9. Have to watch Avatar in a couple of days so things can change.
- mridul
Steven, I've seen Moon and Dix9 this week, and I really dislike them. Inglorious Basterds is over the top, followed by Tarantino!
- Eugenio
I haven't seen a lot...I liked Star Trek, Avatar, didn't see District 9 or Inglorious Basterds, I liked Up a lot, but was it my favorite? I don't think so. I'll get back to you.
- Derrick
Pretty much, yeah. I'm more confident/outgoing online, but being more confident online has actually helped me be confident offline, too.

WoH, you are high up on my list of FFers I'd like to meet. I know for sure you must have 7 additional pairs of arms to do all the twittering, FFing, blogging, podcasting, Whedonesqueing, etc. that you do in addition to being a wife and mum.
- Spidra Webster
sort of? i'm kinda quiet in person as well.
- holly
I'm a little more fleshy in real life. Otherwise I'm much cooler on line and way more talkative. :D
- Adrian
what you see online is exactly what I'm like in person
- DJF
I think likely so. I feel introverted online, too. :)
- Ayşe E.
I'm the same whiny, rage-filled, self-loathing bitch in real life that I am on the internet.
- cecily
I'm definitely more quiet when you meet me in person.
- Derek Coward
Yes. I talk about the same stuff online as off and with the same style and tone. I'm just more verbose and comprehensive online.
- Jason Toney
from iPod
i'd say yes but then again i do tend to censor myself online because i know my family probably couldn't handle half of the shit i say aloud to my friends
- Cardeen Martinez
witty, acerbic & has a hard time shutting up once i feel comfortable around you? yep, i'd say so ;)

That's about the only real difference I notice in my own behavior.

I'm alot more outgoing in person, and my vocab online is hindered due to terrible spelling abilities hahaha =P

I am much more outgoing in real life. Internet small talk seems odd to me at times. In real life it seems more natural. I do read other people discussing topical subjects though. May be I am odd ?

I'm probably quieter and more reserved offline. Still, I'm generally an amicable person, if the opinions of others are anything to go by...
- Tyson Key
i sort of doubt i'm much like my online self. probly some similarities. this didn't used to be the case.
- Joe Silence
Rochelle, it seems like online...people like me. Haha. Kidding. But I've had several people tell me that they think I have it together or that I'm super nice (I've been asked if I was in a caregiving career several times, even) or a 'sweetheart' and I think that people who know me offline would describe me more as selfish, loud, bossy, demanding, confusing, contrary, etc. Maybe I'm just not hearing from everyone who thinks I'm obnoxious because they've blocked me or something.
- joey
*is kind of shocked* you DO come off on here as being very nice.
- Joe Silence
joey, you were perfectly lovely when we spent the day at Disneyland. Although hell, maybe I was in bitch mode and we fell into sync. o_O

Oh, hell no! Who I am (or who you perceive me to be) differs and is dependent on where I am, what I am doing, who you are, and who you know. This is true online as well as off. I am like a giant magical diamond, with just as many facets to my personality, and people are only capable of seeing a small portion from whatever their vantage point is.

@rogersdc / Chris, Google Reader is obviously been trying to become more social, but I'd really like to see FF come out with a bookmarklet that makes sub'ing RSS feeds to FF easier/faster.

MF/Kol = I live in Kingston on Thames. It's OK apart from the traffic (continually gridlocked) and the shops (girls just lurve them). Handy for getting into London both airports and out to the Thames Valley for work type things. Richmond Park and the river in walking distance is great too.
- Andy C
Andy, Richmond Park and the others around there are the appeal really. Good place to go photographing and cycling while being very close to London I think.
- Kol Tregaskes
Teddington (across the river from Kingston Upon Thames, is where I think I'd like to live. Just 'cos it's cheaper than everywhere else around it. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol many years ago, we made the mistake of asking an estate agent in Surbiton whether it was any cheaper than Kingston. She replied 'No - of course not. We are on the fast line to Waterloo' and looked at us as if we were dog excrement.
- Andy C
I've checked rental prices in the area several times over the last 2 years and Teddington is definitely cheaper. I'm not buying, no way I can afford that. ;-) All a pip-dream anyway, need a steady job and I've not had that for a while. :-(

I can't beginning on where and why this movie is awful. The acting, the storyline, the characters, even the special effects were ropey in parts. Good grief is this to be a sequel?
- Kol Tregaskes
I regret wasting my money on this one. I was expecting a lot from this movie but it's extremely poor. The only good thing - brunette Sienna Miller ;)
- mridul
I loved the idea but they crammed too much in, and the pace was dizzying. It would have been so much better if they had half the stuff. Come on, the suit was WAY WAY COOL! It was like wearing too much incredible jewelry. It was still incredible jewelry even if it made the outfit look bad.

Europe has remained on the sidelines of international climate negotiations ever since President Obama's election. The Obama administration has been very aggressive in climate negotiations especially with the developing countries making them pledge carbon cuts, something which Europe failed to achieve despite years of efforts.

"Few months back a leading Indian daily quoted government sources saying that although the government has adequate financial reserves to fund the 20 GW solar power by 2030 plan, it will ask developed countries to finance a big portion of the project. Similarly, the Indian Supreme Court released $6 billion for forest conservation and afforestation but the government intends to use only a small portion of the fund and ask developed countries a majority of the funds through REDD credits. I'm not against foreign help. But India has quite sufficient funds what it needs is state of the art clean technology. The Indian PM says that poverty and climate change are connected issues so why can they be can taken care of with a unified approach. One does not have to become the obstacle for progress in the other field. I don't believe in caste or religion but since you raised the issue, yes I do belong an upper caste."

So far: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81 ... (if you average 1 comment per like, you'd be 1.0 ... if you're 0.xx you might herd content more than discuss ... if you're whole numbers above 1 you may not 'like' much or discuss plenty or both)

A recent change in FF: now the comment count shows total number of comments (previously multiple comments in one thread only counted as one) http://friendfeed.com/e... so all the numbers above are from the old methodology....
- David HC Soul
My new ratio: 0.76 all time (old methodology .52).... this week 1.39
- David HC Soul
Looks like my ratio as flipped again (comments back to dominating again). Seems to match my own awareness I've lately been commenting without Liking (commenting is my inherent recognition of value to me and the additional Like is when it merits an extra bump to help discovery by others).
- Micah Wittman
Darn - 0.52. I guess I need to say why I like something a little more often :-) Liking this thread because I was wondering the same thing recently. Has anybody worked out the average from the numbers here? </islazy>

Andy, scroll upward and you'll see a couple calculations from before (January: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81)

Rick, you mean that face with glasses I photoshopped tint into with an apparently disembodied arm which is actually very much attached to my eldest son? It's mostly just me :)

- Micah Wittman
Yeah, that's a decent upward rise in comments, Nicholas.
- Micah Wittman
.6 (6,000/10,000) 3rd update - Now it's time to flip this on its head. My goal is to have (16,000/16,000) next time I post here. Regardless of what happens, I'm just looking forward to the next 10,000 comments, likes, posts, and new relationships I make here. It's all good!
- Michael Fidler
1.76 (7539/4290) My commenting habits haven't chanced much, but it felt like I clicked Like a lot less, and this ratio confirms that for me.
- Micah Wittman
.82 as of right now. edit: on January 8th it was 0.39 -- when I saw that, I decided to make more of an effort to comment. When I hit 10k "likes" I decided I wouldn't "like" anything else until I also had 10k comments.
- Bren -- feeling merry
Jimminy, I'm copyrighting every single number. It's kind of a honeypot ;) Actually, it was curiosity mostly, but I also hope to build a sampling (small and self-selecting as it may be) for anyone who might want to analyze it.
- Micah Wittman
Wow I didn't realize I was so out of whack!! 12.23 that's got to be a record (and I don't even import my feeds with the summary as a comment)!!

0.89 (17818/19913) (Somebody better make a cool ass graph of all this data!)
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments)..
- Chris Myles
OK, so statistically, what ratio results in better interaction on FF?
- Jason Huebel
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience.
- Micah Wittman
So I'm fairly balanced, it appears. I would imagine it's because I try to comment on every post I like. That's not always true, obviously. But mostly it is.
- Jason Huebel
Just clicking "Like" seems too easy. I feel like I should say something, too.
- Jason Huebel
wow, what a difference time makes, when i 1st posted on this thread, 6.43%, now = 1.25%, for a 5.18% difference, :o (and this is the earliest post to date i've recovered of my activity on ff)
- chaz2b
chaz, I think there's been a big fluctuation for most people (maybe not that much). This is the oldest post on which you commented that you've recovered?
- Micah Wittman
that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while...
- Bren -- feeling merry
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically.
- Micah Wittman
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better.

"China would do good by setting voluntary sectoral emission reduction targets. The developing countries have already signaled that they are willing to follow China's example and set national emission reduction targets. China, along with other developing countries, should also push developed nations to accept responsibility and set ambitious emission reduction targets. Both parties must also work together to cooperate on the issue of technology transfer. By agreeing to voluntary emission cuts and providing opportunities for expansion of renewable energy infrastructure the developing countries would be securing their future by setting up building blocks of sustainable economies plus they'll also get billions of dollars in foreign investments."

- Itachi
Mmm ... right now I've got 38 tabs open. I start where I left off, but I'd say if the session wouldn't be saved, I'd start with the usual supects: my blog, Friendfeed, Facebook, Soup.io, Tumblr, vi.sualize.us, Flickr, Vox, Posterous, Google Reader, Gmail, Google Wave, Twine and Backtype.

The Great Google Wave invite thread. Anyone who wants an invite post your Gmail address here and anyone who has invites available please use to invite the people on this list. There are also a bunch of requests in the Invites group here: http://friendfeed.com/invites
I have a few but holding them for a few people who have already asked me. I'm at kolint [at] googlewave [dot] com btw. A pain I know but if you can, could you update your comment when you have an account or just delete your comment. Ta! :-) EDIT: Try this site for invites: http://googlewaveinvites.com/
- Kol Tregaskes
Are people on this list getting invites or at least been told they have an invite on the way? You might have to be patient, it could take a long time for one to come through.
- Kol Tregaskes
Adam, yep agree. Maybe because I did that (month ago though) helped me get mine through from Vijay so quickly!
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol, the invitation process seems to be based on nominations. For example, everytime someone nominates/invites you, you get bumped up the queue for an account until you're at the top and you get sent an invite by the team
- Ysabel Legaspi
Ysabel, ah I see, So lots of people must have nominated me. Darn, so a few users I have nominated could be waiting a looooong time. :-(

if that voting system is right I'm very annoyed. I asked for an invite months ago, now all the numpties are all over it I'm not going to get a look in. It's like I've been sat at the front of a shop queue and everyone's just walking right past me into the shop. I am British but I detest both queuing and waiting, so this is pretty tough going

I've been too busy to get on FF the last few days....figures something important happening and I missed it! I knew about Google Wave but didn't know there would be a thread to post a request. In any case, better late than never, I'd love an invite at madeliene2007 at gmail.com. :)

How does anyone know if someone has already been invited? You could go back and edit your comment when you receive an invitation, but since that takes days, it could be ages before you know.

I've not even had a nomination, RK. At google dot com I'm suezanne , in the event anyone wants to make a nomination. I've asked before on friendfeed. It's kind of humiliating to beg.

I'll wager that some of the folks on this list have received their invite by now, or no longer want one - I have 16 invitations at this instant. It's probably easier for me if you DM.

It was probably coz of the fact that most people were asleep in that region when the quake happened. I felt tremors just before 1:30 am here in New Delhi the intensity wasn't much but duration was long.
- mridul
the reports i read cited new delhi feeling it, but no mention of duration, thanks for the input

I'd love to see Montreal. My friends always push me to the West Coast instead... And I don't speak french so that could be an issue.

Poe's house in Baltimore. It's always seemed kinda hard to get to and it looks like a neighborhood you wouldn't want to walk though alone.

I think the closest place to me that I've never been is Hearst Castle. Otherwise, I can't think of anywhere in Los Angeles I haven't been.

I live a few miles from a NASCAR race track, (Lowes Motor Speedway) never been. I suppose that is a tourist attraction. No interest in going I suppose.

The prison cell of Dr. Samuel Mudd at Dry Tortugas National Park. Usually just anchor offshore but, need to make a point to visit someday.

Gatorland (http://www.gatorland.com). Lived here in Orlando, Florida, for most of my life and have never been to the quintessential Florida attraction. (Been to Mickeyland, SeaWorld and Universal Studios many times tho.) Just no interest in seeing gators jump out of the water for dead chickens. Yee haw!

@Brodie: Most people in Montreal speak English quite well. It's outside of Montreal in smaller Quebec cities that they may not speak Anglais. :D
