@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

phew.. - Paul Greer

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

@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. :-( - Kol Tregaskes

We can't have just everyone going off and having civil ceremonies, that would just make all the same-sex civil unions less, well... civil. - Kenton

I'm confused though - what is the difference between getting married at the town hall and getting a civil union, precisely? - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

guess i am not the only confused one :) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

I wouldn't be surprised if the difference was nothing more than a checkbox or something. Doesn't sound, from the article at least, that there is much of a difference. - pea

My guess would be religious implications. - The Letter M

No religious implications if you just get married at the Register Office, is there? I was wondering legally or tax wise? Cause if there is no difference, why not let them call it a Partnership instead of a Marriage, I mean? Exactly because of the religious fluff added to the image of the term Marriage whether you want it or not. (I often use the term "my partner" and I say I am a Ms - mostly because of the antifeminist implications of much of traditional marriage) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

I watch 0% reality TV - RAPatton from iPhone

I did not do all that but still you unsubscribed me. I do not know why. - Mycaptain

Id rather stick HOT Knitting needles in my eyes , then watch American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, Top Chef, and 99.9% of reality television. - johnpiercy

mycaptain: I left FF and came back and am still catching up on finding people. - aden

I do not watch these shows. No interest in reality tv. I do like the you tube clip of Ken Lee. - Mike Nencetti

May I ask why? - Mycaptain

mycaptain: a whole lot of drama and crap went down and I left. It is not something I wish to really talk about because I am trying to pretend it didn't happen. And it's a lot of ugly that doesn't need to come around again :) - aden

I understand and please do not talk about it if you do not like to, but could not you just block some and let go? - Mycaptain

I could have, but I didn't. And I realize now what a mistake it was. But it's over and I am back. - aden

well, its good to have you back. :) - Mycaptain

Aden... I love you for the snails... but your blatant back-turning on American Idol has opened my eyes to your shocking disregard for the really important things in life - Random Acts of Drama!!! *tears and dramatic wailing and gnashing of teeth, renting of husband's shirt, throwing of stuffies, and other over-the-top actions to show my utter horror at this turn of events* - Bette Cooper

:D - Bette Cooper

Bette: I love you like whoa. - aden

I don't know why I have a general disdain of Reality TV when I actually watch some of it. I LOVE the Amazing Race and I am a Top Chef watcher. I used to love Project Runway but the move to Lifetime kind of soured that for me. So, I guess I'm a hypocrite. :) Have never really gotten into the dance/music ones though. - pea

The reason why I said 99.9% is because I like shows like Ghost Hunters and Chopped. Which could be considered reality. So I am a hypocrite in that way. - aden

What are these shows of which you speak? - Martha

(the two I spoke of? or are you being clever? :D ) - aden

+1 million. I thought I was the only one. The stupidity of those shows makes my head hurt. - Amy H.

Nope. Not one. Not ever. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

Although I don't have anything against some of the shows you mention, I've recently given up reality TV. Interestingly, that coincided with my giving up alcohol. Hmmm... - Jason Huebel

Just curious, but what's the 0.1% you do like? - Jason Huebel

Jason: Ghost Hunters, Chopped, Dirty Jobs. - aden

I like mythbusters and dirty jobs...but are those really reality? Ohhh and ace of cakes too - Sir Shuping

I think some people might consider them reality - aden

+1 on Dirty Jobs. Don't really consider that reality TV exactly, though. Like Mythbusters, which I don't consider reality TV either. - Jason Huebel

woohoo! I am back to 100% - aden

I don't think of Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs et al as reality TV. They're more ... light documentaries, I'd say - they make some attempt to inform or educate, even if the subject matter is basically trivial. Reality TV, otoh, features a bunch of not-too-smart folks plotting against other not-too-smart folks for some prize that only looks like enough money to change a life. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF from iPhone

You know, Aden, I was astounded to find that I wasn't following you! I'm so glad that I've corrected that terrible injustice that has been perpetrated upon you. :-) - Ladybug Heather

RuPaul's "Drag Races" - the only reality show I've enjoyed so far. - T. Brent, technopeasant

And the odd bit of "The Osbornes" -- only because Ozzy can be really fucking funny. - T. Brent, technopeasant

The increase in stupid "reality" shows may have been a contributing factor to my giving up TV entirely. - April Russo (app103)

Aden I like a girl that says what she wants. Why worry about who's following you or not? To hell with them and always be yourself. I have fun no matter what and those who can't play with me are boring old farts that deserve to be shot and put out of their misery. If they can't see how we roll they need eyeglasses which I also happen to sell. Blind as shit. I don't watch TV much unless it's Masterpiece Theater starring Diana Rigg :) - Jeunelle Foster

Then? - ★ Soner Gönül

Aden, I'm with you. Only I'm a Celebrity is worth watching and that's mainly because of our great hosts. This year's celebrities are not appealing at all. - Kol Tregaskes

I watch real time web. I don't need the rest. - Dutch Bloggies

I used to watch American Idol. Still like Top Chef. It's way more about food than famewhoring. - Andrew C from Android

Why would I block you for posting that? - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Oh, I thought of a reason to watch Idol: it's an early warning system for pop crappy that'll be in stores a few months after the season finale. - Andrew C from Android

Well done reality shows are good for people that like to people-watch. I like Idol, BB and have gone back and forth on Survivor (currently is pretty good). - Josh Haley

i have to stand with Aden on this. - Joe Silence

They are the gayest of gay shows. - Outsanity

Is it wrong to now say how much more I respect roadies than rock-stars? - Jeremy (on vacation)

♪ Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid - LogEx

\m/ - Ayşe E.

This may be the best thing anyone has ever said to me re: my work. - Mary Carmen

Roadies can only count up to 2 (one two....one two...). Rock stars can count to 4 (one - two - three -four) - Nick B.

Thanks a lot. - Ahmet Alp Balkan

LouCypher, I filled in each type of field (except audio) and clicked Run Pipe, but nothing appears to have happened. - Micah Wittman

Micah, it worked for me. I posted this entry using this pipe itself. - LouCypher

Lou, you declare explicitly »This Pipe may require all fields to have values before it will run successfully. Please provide values into any empty field above and press "Run Pipe."« but then your [=this] posting has nowhere near the number of apparently required elements. If the values/args can be [nil] or »""«, or maybe »" "«, please indicate that. Above all, I'd like to read a usage scenario in which this could be of, hmmm…, use [over and above mere proof of concept]. - ianf ⌘

Yay. Generated http://friendfeed.com/thedod... like a charm, audio and all. Well done - ĎÚβĨŐÚŚ Dod

How much time did it save over posting that in the old, "missionary" fashion? - ianf ⌘

@ianf, only fields with * are required, you can leave the other fields empty. - LouCypher

so, you're essentially using a pipe to post to friendfeed? - chrisofspades

@Chris, I do sometimes, using v1 API http://pipes.yahoo.com/loucyph... - LouCypher

@Micah and @Genie, did you enter the correct remote key? http://friendfeed.com/remotek... - LouCypher

Lou, I just re-tried in Chrome and it worked! (I used the remotekey each time). My first attempts wre in Firefox - my guess is there's was a conflict with Firebug (or maybe NoScript, but I allowed all domains *shrug*). - Micah Wittman

I see. I don't have Firebug on my Firefox, that's why. - LouCypher

Firebug in the latest version of Firefox has been temperamental. Frequent browser restarts while dubugging JS helps. - Micah Wittman

Anyway, nice job on the pipe, LouCypher. Just released, and there's already exciting things popping up using the new API v2 :) - Micah Wittman

I used this image URL http://friendfeed-media.com/1dbdccc... (no extension) and it worked for me. What's your image URL? - LouCypher

I may be misreading things in a wider [than Pipes] context, but I thought the new FF API v2, as per recent Firehose announcement (which presumably relies on it) no longer required RemoteKey use? "[FF Firehose] is controlled by simple OAuth. This also means users of FriendFeed-based applications will no longer need to get their special key to manually enter as was previously required" <http://staynalive.com/article...> - right, this isn't an FF-app… - ianf ⌘

Unfortunately, that's the problem with Yahoo Pipes, you can't use OAuth with it. - LouCypher

This looks cool, but with FriendFeed's 3 mp3 files a day limit - you could only use it once a day to upload audio files. - Chris Loft

That's for upload only, the API is using/hotlinking mp3 URL from other server. You can post as much as you want. http://friendfeed.com/zoolcar... - LouCypher

Is there any way to add video attachment support? Thanks - Mike Chelen

@LouCypher Thanks for the group invite! :D - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

Excellent! This is really useful. Thank you. - Len Lynch

whoa. Flashback! - Micah Wittman

Smart move (maybe) - if Google is paying Twitter to get their content, why shouldn't Google be paying others as well? News Corp is a big entity - is it a loss for Google to lose all that content or a loss for News Corp? - Jesse Stay from Bookmarklet

Since News Corp suck at reporting and Murdoch is a greedy bastard, I say 'Good bloody riddance' - Mo Kargas

I know a whole lotta conservatives that will still bypass Google to get the content - Jesse Stay

Not to mention MySpace users - however, will MySpace users revolt now that their pages can't be indexed (if this goes through)? - Jesse Stay

*bookmark* - Micah Wittman

Also makes me wonder what News Corp is doing with MySpace now - what do they have up their sleeves? - Jesse Stay

Imagine if they too set up a deal with Twitter... - Jesse Stay

to search content, that is - Jesse Stay

Good, it would save me the trouble of having to look to see if something comes from Murdoch's entities. I doubt this will actually happen, though. - Rob Haas

Sorry but most people won't even realize that News Corp content is missing. People will search and they'll find other sites. Sorry, the unibrow of the web wins. - AJ Kohn

So if I link to a News Corp article via Twitter... will that tweet not be searchable? - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

Johnny, they can block Google spider from news corp sites but twitter will still be indexed as usual. - Amit Morson

Two Words... DON'T CARE - Uncle CW™

Would be a good move if News Corp carried ALL the news (sorry for allcaps). But there are plenty of others wanting for Google love. - Mike Reynolds

When Murdoch and his kind get together to set a price, the Government will step in to stop what is obvious price fixing. His threat is hollow, they won't set a price. - Wallace

Rupert must have been listening to Twist #24. Calacanis suggested he do this. http://thisweekinstartups.com/2009... (somewhere near the end of the episode). - Ken Morley

Calacanis suggested he do this???? It figures.... - Roberto Bonini

He was saying the top ten news oranizations should get together and make an offer to Bing... but that Rupert was likely the only one with the balls to do it; and that Google set a precedent by paying Twitter to index their content. :o) - Ken Morley

Update: Calacanis just posted this: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Ken Morley

Genius! epic win for sure! - Jason Calacanis

It's curious that he would say search engine referral visitors aren't desired by advertisers. - Rob Sterling

Only way to make money from your content is to control it from the beginning. News Corp gave it away in several ways on the internet, including allowing Google search to go through their websites. Now that it has happened, if they choose to close off key avenues of information to go out to the users that are now used to getting their information a certain way, will backfire beyond... more... - Uncle CW™

One word, "Antitrust." Or is that two words? The bulk Twitter feed apparently was not available to the public or it would have already been searched by Google. If content is available to the public now for free, I don't know how you are going to exclude some member of the public (Google) from accessing that content without creating a legal problem. - Jimmy Walker

I love moves that make old media harder to get to, driving those bastards farther behind their walls, marginalizing their impact even further. It makes just that much more space to allow the future to get her sooner. - Matthew DeVries

I guess new media won't kill old media after all. Old media will simply commit suicide. - Victor Ganata

And Jason just sent around an email newsletter explaining. I'd post it but its Copyrighted. - Roberto Bonini

What, this? http://calacanis.com/2009... - Daniel J. Pritchett

Why is he "talking about it"? Couldn't a quick change to the robots.txt file (which Google and legitimate search robots obey) exclude Google? - Brian Sullivan

Jason get rich by flux, it doesn't matter to him who wins, as long as there is change, upheaval and instability. Flat markets are Satan that he must fight. It does not surprise me that he advocates points of view that represent a sea change in the industry. It matters not to him whether new media or old media wins, just that there is a decade of fighting. - Matthew DeVries

For sure they want to be' payd as Twitter, the move to exit from the index is a suicide about advertising, by now it guarantee 100000 imp x day (It's in the answer of google to Murdock). - CantorJF from iPhone

Man, you must be old! ;-) - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Next up: explaining 8tracks... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

That was back when there were dinosaurs, right? - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

They're still laughing thinking that I lived before home computers. I realize it's because they're used to 50 and 60s movies with room size computers. - Admiral Anika

And pre-cellphone? Telephones used to be connected with wires and if you were out you had to use a payphone! - Nick B.

Oh man, when I explained payphones to them a couple of years ago, they oldest acted like I was making stuff up. - Admiral Anika

I had to explain what a rotary phone was yesterday to mine after we saw one in a movie. The look on their faces was priceless. - Sels

My optician showed me the eye test for young children.One picture was of a black rotary phone. Every kid identifies it as a T shirt. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

A friend in Texas took her kid to the optician and their eye chart for kids were corporate logos. She was pissed and walked out to find another doctor. - Admiral Anika

Corporate logos seems particularly bad from the perspective of being able to test the ability to see. They are, by design, very distinctive and recognizable, even if blurry. - Andy Bakun

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. - Admiral Anika

Me and my friend were playing the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game on his XBox 360, his son came in and commented "the graphics are so bad that doesn't even look like a video game." ...I suggested we wash his mouth out with soap. - Joe Pierce

A few weeks ago, I put in some classic Atari disc in the PS2. My daughter said, "No wonder you and daddy wear glasses. These games make my head hurt!" - Admiral Anika

I have an Atari Flashback 2. Who wants to play Combat? - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

This is why I've always maintained when I have kids they get the video game progression I had. Start with Atari and Coleco-vision games, move on to some old school computer games (Oregon Trail and Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego-like) then NES, then SNES/Genesis, then Playstation etc.... ....It may be for the best that I don't have kids, I've put too much thought in here. - Joe Pierce

OMG Eric, when I told her we used to play Combat for hours, she looked at me like I lost my mind. The boy declared it "boring". And they went to play with lint to prove their point. - Admiral Anika

I think I'd better start ours on Yars' Revenge right away. He's been playing Little Big Planet for a while- don't want him to get spolied! :) - Matt Mastracci

My kids are weird with what versions they like to play/watch. They prefer the older versions of Sonic or Pac-Man, but the newer versions of Super Mario. - Admiral Anika

haha..............they wouldn't know a phone with a cord - VAL D. Zone

Have you ever tried to explain the rotary phone to them? - Joe Pierce

...then we stood up and walked to the TV and turned a dial to change channels but it dodn't matter there were only 3 CBS, ABC, NBC but Bonanza was in COLOR... yes I am old thanx for asking - WarLord

I don't have to. They've seen rotary phones in the wild. We almost bought one at the beginning of the year, but figured it wasn't safe. They've seen phones with cords...we do have a fax machine. - Admiral Anika

The other day someone asked me if we still had a TELEX machine at work. - Nick B.

And all this is pretty funny considering my daughter thinks we need to go back to using quills to write. She already told me that for her birthday, she wants a quill and ink set. - Admiral Anika

When I was young I wanted to write with a quill, until I tried writing with one. Not so easy. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Same here. I think she'll outgrow it. I hope she will, at least. - Admiral Anika

Maybe she does think I'm *that* old. We're watching Storyteller. I said, "I used to watch this as a kid." And she asked, "In black and white?" - Admiral Anika

I usually tell my niece and nephews: "Before Youtube..." lol. It helps contextualize. - anna sauce

You walked to the TV to turn the dial? The dial had fallen off our TV and we had a pair of vice grips on the stub where the knob used to be in order to change channels. - Andy Bakun

You know, when I read this earlier, I immediately though of the scene in Ferris Bueler's Day Off where the principle is on the phone with Cameron claiming to be Ferris's girlfriend's father but thinks it's Ferris, and Ferris calls on another line and they show the blinking "on-hold" light dramatically. There's a lot of passing the receiver around and avoiding getting twisted up in cords. Then, later in the day, this movie was on. - Andy Bakun

Ben indirdim fakat kullanmadım henüz...

"The National Transportation Safety Board released a statement on Monday after interviewing the two pilots separately on Sunday for more than five hours. The agency said both pilots denied speculation that they had been tired or fallen asleep during the flight. They said they "had lost track of time" as they discussed a new crew flight scheduling system and accessed their personal computers at the same time. They admitted that during their discussion, they did not monitor calls from air traffic controllers, nor did they notice messages sent by company dispatchers." - MikeAmundsen from Bookmarklet
